Upon hearing this, Shen Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Old Zheng doesn't have any ill intentions towards himself, but rather he's targeting those who are busy with their own deceit and treachery.
She relaxed, thinking it was none of her business, and echoed him, "You're just bored."
"Hahaha, that's right! They've just eaten too much!" Zheng Zongbo snorted and angrily slapped the conference table.
The sound of "snap" was particularly abrupt in the dead of night.
Then he sighed deeply, his tone and expression full of worry: "We ordinary people are still starving..."
Shen Jing was speechless. She had plenty of supplies in her space, but she never intended to be a Good Samaritan.
She admires heroes who burn themselves to light up others.
But unfortunately, she is not.
Even the initial intention of giving cold-resistant seeds was simply for self-preservation!
Zheng Zongbo didn't seem to expect a response from her. He chuckled twice and changed the subject.
He waved to Shen Jing, "Little girl, is your father Shen An?"
"Yes." Shen Jing walked over, but didn't sit down. "You know my father?"
“I know him. Shen An is an outstanding entrepreneur.” Zheng Zongbo paused. “He’s upright and family-oriented, a rare good man. He even goes fishing with me, a retired old guy, quite often.”
Only then did she realize that her father and Old Zheng knew each other, and she couldn't help but feel a little interested and lean towards them.
Zheng Zongbo's wise eyes flashed, and he continued to laugh, "It's a pity that the Shen family and the Liang family had already set their sights on each other, otherwise I would have taken you home and made you my obedient granddaughter-in-law."
Shen Jing immediately stood up straight, making a gesture of refusal.
This amused Zheng Zongbo. "You still don't like him? Hahaha, my son is quite good-looking too!"
"I'm still young." Shen Jing didn't remember how old she was before she transmigrated into the book, but here, she was definitely only 20 years old.
Well, let's not include the extra ten years I lived in my previous life.
However, she also knew that Old Zheng was just saying it casually.
First, we started with the big picture, showing pity for those who were starving, and observed that Shen Jing did not act impulsively as expected.
Then, appeal to their emotions through their family background, using the story of Chen An to bring the two closer together.
Shen Jing was indeed unable to resist. She and Shen An had been father and daughter for twenty years, and her parents had always doted on her.
She rubbed her forehead and said, "Please just say what you want to say. I will do what I can and will not make excuses."
Zheng Zongbo raised his eyebrows, looked up at Shen Jing and said, "Look how flustered you are. Sit down. I won't force you."
I don't know what Old Master Zheng's purpose is this time, that he actually plans to sell his own grandson to Shen Jing.
However, it's true that Shen Jing wouldn't refuse anything within her capabilities. She wouldn't be a saint and donate the items from her spatial storage to charity, but she would help if she could.
"Well, I'd like to know where you got these seeds from?" Zheng Zongbo finally revealed his purpose.
"I got it before the apocalypse," Shen Jing answered, avoiding the main point.
That's true; it was indeed before the apocalypse.
The heavy snow is now covering not only the city, but also a lot of information. Shen Jing is no longer afraid of them investigating; even the supplies in her spatial dimension won't be able to find any clues.
Zheng Zongbo frowned and sighed, "The end of the world... that's a very accurate term, isn't it? It's the end of the world!"
Then, he asked nervously, "Can we still find the staff member who provided the seeds?"
Shen Jing found it strange. Liang Lefu also knew about the seeds. Didn't he report it to his family?
This should be very important information, right?
"Why did you seek him out?" Shen Jing answered cautiously, as she could not speak on behalf of Gu Yan and agree to anything.
"Those people who have lost their minds can't be relied on. Our Zheng family is willing to use all our resources to assemble the best expert team to ensure the successful development and cultivation of cold-resistant crops!"
Zheng Zongbo's words were resounding, and they also staked the honor of the entire family.
Shen Jing thought for a moment, "I will try my best to contact him."
"Alright! Whether or not we can get in touch, the Zheng family will remember this favor!" He was referring to the Zheng family, meaning the entire Zheng family had to acknowledge Shen Jing.
That's more significant than all the tycoons in S City combined.
Shen Jing laid it all out beforehand: "When I received the seeds, I planned to plant them myself, so I didn't anticipate what would happen today..."
"Don't feel guilty! Don't feel guilty!" Zheng Zongbo repeated twice. "It's also our fault for letting down such good seeds!"
However, Shen Jing was also very curious. Liang Lefu had said that these seeds would grow as soon as they were sown. Why did it sound like Old Zheng meant that they had encountered an insurmountable obstacle?
It seems I should ask Gu Yan what happened when I get back.
This is an after-sales issue!
In fact, this half-hour conversation between the two was only made possible after repeated revisions to Mr. Zheng's schedule. After all, in the face of global disasters, many strategic adjustments to the city require Mr. Zheng's participation.
After Mr. Zheng was picked up by his secretary and driver, Huang Yue took Huang Ling back to the conference room.
Shen Jing only saw him off to the door. When she heard Old Zheng say that his grandson was also in the car, she quickly stopped.
But thinking about it afterward, I must have been teasing her on purpose.
What a witty and humorous old man, but in his past life... he died such a tragic death.
He stood in front of the base, in front of the soldiers defending the city.
The first one to be strangled by the mutated plant!
When Huang Yue came in, he saw Shen Jing with a heavy expression. He said with difficulty, "I was too anxious."
Without consulting Shen Jing beforehand, he brought her to see Old Zheng.
