Chapter 671 Who will be the first to take the lead?
The officials never dreamed that even Professor Liu, the person in charge of the Ark Planting Experiment, would join the demonstration.
Several of Professor Liu's assistants initially wanted to dissuade him.
But Professor Liu's words made several assistants burst into tears.
"If it weren't for the female secretary the president sent to be with Yang Lianhai, our new experimental project would have been running long ago!"
Yes, because of that female secretary, they lost so much purified soil.
Although the female secretary finally committed suicide out of fear of punishment, the official did not even say a word of explanation.
They missed the best time for experimentation.
"Miss Yao Tao worked so hard to get so much purification soil. It wasn't easy for her, and she wasted it. Casey forced her to get ten tons of purification soil in ten days... This is murder! It's murder of our talents! If we don't stand up now, who will speak up for you when the problem falls on you later?"
The assistants all changed their expressions.
Although their planting experiments were nominally given official attention, only they themselves knew that the so-called official attention was just lip service.
Most of the samples they grew were eaten by the higher-ups.
The ordinary survivors below couldn't even see roots or leaves of vegetables.
"Yao Tao at least cares about the ordinary survivors. She sells her vegetables to ordinary people. This time I want to support her. She doesn't dare to ask for justice from the higher-ups, so we will do it for her!"
…
At noon, in an inconspicuous office of the dispatched armed group, Wu Jun and Yao Tao were drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
Wu Jun glanced at his watch from time to time. "Old Yang is too late. He was never late before."
Yao Tao calmly spat out the melon seed shells, "He's a very busy man now."
"Yeah, it's better to be busy." Wu Jun agreed.
Yao Tao: "...Your words sound weird."
Wu Jun was puzzled, "What's so strange about it?"
"It makes us sound like empty nesters."
Wu Jun scratched his head, "It seems so."
"Who are you talking about as an empty-nest elderly person?" Yang Lianhai pushed the door open.
After not seeing him for a few days, Yang Lianhai looked much thinner, but he also looked more energetic.
Wu Jun poured a cup of hot tea for Yang Lianhai and said, "Oh, the busy man is here. Congratulations first."
"Things are not over yet, so we can't be happy too soon." Yang Lianhai took the tea handed to him by Wu Jun with an expressionless face and took a sip.
"What's the situation up there?" Wu Jun asked eagerly.
"The president is ill and has been in a coma for several days." Yang Lianhai's glasses blocked his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.
"Unconscious?" Yao Tao and Wu Jun squeezed their eyes at the same time, looking like "I understand".
It is normal for President Fang Ark to be sick for a few days because of the loss of his daughter.
But the coma is very thought-provoking.
Yang Lianhai said frankly, "I didn't do anything."
"Yes, yes, Old Yang is the kindest." Wu Jun flattered.
Yao Tao said nothing, staring down at the teacup.
Yang Lianhai glanced at Yao Tao and said, "You've been very popular among the survivors lately. They all hope you can stand up... If you announce your candidacy now, I think they will support you even if you're not an official."
Yao Tao chuckled disdainfully, "Sorry, I'm not interested in this."
Wu Jun asked Yang Lianhai in confusion, "Why don't you announce your candidacy now?"
"It's not the right time yet." Yang Lianhai and Yao Tao said at the same time.
Wu Jun choked and said, "I don't understand. Everyone needs a new candidate now. Isn't this the best time to stand up?"
"Anyone who stands up now will easily be seen as the first to stand out." Yao Tao shook her head.
"Well... it's not a solution to keep staying in this stalemate. What are you going to do next if the president wakes up?" Wu Jun asked.
"You forgot, we have a better candidate." Yang Lianhai dipped his hand in tea and wrote the word "Wan" on the table.
