Chapter 294 Energy



Fu Qingyao called her superiors to communicate, and they gave her a four-word instruction: energy, source.

Where does the food come from?

Could this cause a disaster for the people of a certain country?

The energy refers to the amount of energy Zheng Ya's master possessed and how much grain he could obtain.

Zheng Ya laughed it off: "We have as much grain as you want."

After all, the total amount of food in the world combined is only a small fraction of what is needed to feed all the Chinese people.

Other supplies will not be provided at this time.

As my master would say, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

"Yes, your master is right. The higher-ups also mean the same thing. They don't want the local people to develop a lazy and dependent mentality."

"The grain is grown by our own people; only then can it be truly nourished by nature and benefit the country and its people," Fu Qingyao relayed the instructions from her superiors.

Commander Lei agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Yes, if the people knew that food came so easily, their enthusiasm for labor would vanish."

This is not a good thing; self-reliance is the fundamental solution.

"Given your master's massive supply of grain, the higher-ups want to know if your master could directly drop the grain remotely into granaries in the Jianghuai region, saving time that would otherwise be spent on convoy transport and delaying the rescue efforts," Fu Qingyao raised a new question.

Zheng Ya said awkwardly, "I'm afraid that won't work!"

My master uses me as a coordinate to remotely transmit food, but I don't even know where my master is.

"There's no way I can communicate with my master directly. Relying solely on similar internal energy levels to exchange secret signals for my master to understand my meaning is problematic. Therefore, I cannot fulfill this requirement."

"Alright then, you'll personally go down to Jianghuai and try to deliver food to the disaster victims as quickly as possible?" Fu Qingyao had no choice but to let him go down to Jianghuai.

Commander Lei said somewhat reluctantly, "Xiao Zheng, could you send one more batch of grain to our granary before you leave?"

"Uh, the granaries here are all full, where are we going to put the grain?" Zheng Ya asked irritably. Fu Qingyao shook her head and laughed, "Are you so poor you've gone crazy?"

If you want to store grain outside, it will get wet and moldy if it doesn't rain, and it will also be affected by frost and snow, causing the grain to spoil.

The higher-ups have decided to send Zheng Ya to tour the entire capital and fill all the major granaries with grain.

"Stop making things worse. Go apply for food from your superiors!"

Seeing her get up and leave, Brigade Commander Lei could only reluctantly see the mother and son off.

Battalion Commander Song watched the dust cloud from the jeep that Zheng Ya and her son had driven away, then approached the old brigade commander and said, "Brigade Commander, why did you let them go?"

"So, if they don't leave, they'll stay and be abused and scolded by you?" the old brigade commander retorted angrily, calling him useless and unable to learn social skills.

Offending someone isn't scary; as long as you apologize sincerely, you can resolve anything.

What kind of person is he who makes a mistake, refuses to admit it, and just hides away?

Expecting benefits afterward? What are you thinking?

Battalion Commander Song said with shame, "Old Brigade Commander, it's just that I'm too shy."

"Get out of here! I've never seen you be thin-skinned when you're cursing or arguing. How come you're thin-skinned when you make a mistake and admit it!"

You have severe social anxiety. You act arrogantly towards the soldiers you get to know well. If you don't change this personality, this will be your life.

The key point is that this will affect your descendants. "Brigade Commander Lei said this and left, so as not to get angry at him for being so unambitious.

Battalion Commander Song stood there dumbfounded, watching Brigade Commander Lei drive away. He was completely wrong.

Insulting heroes and national heroes is a grave mistake.

The refusal to admit wrongdoing can affect children. Battalion Commander Song panicked, regretting that he hadn't apologized to Zheng Ya and her son.

Zheng Ya drove his jeep all over the capital, transporting grain. He spurred the delivery of 1.8 billion tons of grain, earning a net profit of over 6 million Zhengde's worth of grain. He drove home happily.

The two had just returned to the Chaoyang Guesthouse when they saw an unexpected person standing at the entrance, eagerly waiting.

"Why is she here?" Fu Qingyao didn't get out of the car, but looked through the car window at Lou Xiao'e interrogating someone.

Zheng Ya said, puzzled, "How would I know?"

"Mom, you don't suspect that I have something going on with her, do you?"

“Ha, you young people are easily impulsive. With that oval face and graceful figure, if someone comes to deliver goods to your door, you might not be able to control yourself and make a mistake…” Fu Qingyao was worried that he was being taken advantage of, so she gave him on-site training.

In fact, many capitalists and wealthy businessmen encourage their daughters to seduce men, specifically targeting those with status and influence.

This is called "climbing into bed to change your destiny".

Fu Qingyao had handled over a dozen such cases and was worried that Zheng Ya might be tricked by someone.

Zheng Ya opened the car door and got out, saying, "Mom, don't worry at all. Even if I mess things up, I'll still..."

"You dare?" Fu Qingyao was so angry that she whispered at him. If she hadn't been saving face for him in public, she would have already started hitting him.

You've got some nerve, causing trouble again.

Zheng Ya choked on her words, then gave a forced smile: "Mom, just pretend I didn't say anything. Even if I wanted to say something, everyone makes mistakes sometimes..."

"You brat, don't try to fool me. If I find out you've made a mistake, you'll know how severe my family rules are." Fu Qingyao left after giving that warning.

His words conveyed a sense of severity and warning.

The warning naturally included Lou Xiao'e. They brushed past each other, and Lou Xiao'e lowered her head, not daring to utter a sound.

Fu Qingyao ignored her, not because she looked down on her, but because she deliberately distanced herself from people like Lou Xiao'e, whose social status and family background were so low.

Seeing that Zheng Ya was about to pass her by, Lou Xiao'e turned around and said to him, "Comrade Zheng Ya, I'd like to talk to you?"

"Let's go upstairs to the room and talk about it in front of my wife!" Zheng Ya didn't seem to care about anything, but he still wanted to avoid suspicion.

The saying "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat" is not just an empty phrase.

Today, Zheng Ya has donated more than two billion tons of grain to the country, making him a well-known figure.

If this is associated with a certain capitalist, rumors are bound to circulate, and then things will be hard to explain.

If a capitalist happens to be clinging to you, it will inevitably erase any ambiguous relationship between you.

If someone deliberately spreads rumors, then things will become difficult.

Fu Qingyao's warning was undoubtedly a sign that Zheng Ya was trying to avoid suspicion.

Lou Xiao'e tacitly agreed with him and followed Zheng Ya upstairs. Xu Qi greeted them at the door: "Oh, we have guests! Come in, please!"

"Thank you!" Lou Xiao'e said after entering the guest room. Xu Qi poured her a glass of water, and left after Lou Xiao'e took it.

Elegant, generous, virtuous, and kind, Lou Xiao'e felt ashamed of herself and explained her purpose: "Comrade Zheng Ya, I would like to ask you for a favor?"

"You should know that we are not on the same path. Meeting each other too often could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and rumors."

"That's not a big deal for me, but it could be fatal to your Lou family, do you understand?" Zheng Ya kindly reminded her to be careful.

The organization would never allow the Lou family to target Zheng Ya; if there were any possibility, they would target the Lou family.
