Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 166 - 165: 5,000 Yuan Award, Nationwide Expansion!
After Jiang Zhou left, the small building returned to tranquility.
Gu Lan leaned on her hand, staring blankly at the plates on the table that had been cleared.
"Sister-in-law, that Rubbish King... is he really going to make a color TV?"
Lin Wan Yi was tidying up the dishes, and she smiled when she heard this.
"He’s not a Rubbish King."
"He’s a genius."
The next day.
A jeep with a special license plate from the Beijing Military Region stopped at the gate of Beijing University.
The guard was about to step forward to inquire.
The car door opened.
Several middle-aged men in brand-new Zhongshan suits, with serious expressions, stepped out.
The leading man waved his hand and led the group inside directly.
Their presence made the words in the guard’s mouth swallow back down.
"Comrade, may I ask who you are looking for?"
"The Agricultural College."
The two words were spoken forcefully.
The group marched resolutely, heading straight to the Agricultural College’s office building.
Inside the office building.
Dean Li and Professor Wang were excitedly facing a pile of data, their faces flushed.
"Old Wang! When this data is reported, it will absolutely shock the entire Ministry of Agriculture!"
"It’s more than the Ministry of Agriculture! This will make the front page headlines!"
The office door was pushed open with a "bang".
Dean Li and Professor Wang were startled.
Seeing who it was, the smiles on their faces instantly froze.
"Minister... Minister Zhang?" Dean Li almost dropped his thermos cup.
The visitor was Vice Minister Zhang from the National Ministry of Agriculture.
With him were heads from various technical departments.
Minister Zhang didn’t greet them politely.
He walked to the desk and slapped a document down with a "snap".
It was the report that Professor Wang had worked overnight to prepare.
"Old Li, Old Wang."
Minister Zhang’s voice was deep, carrying undeniable pressure.
"I’ve read the report."
"Ninety-eight percent parasitism rate."
He raised his eyes, his gaze like a knife.
"Do you two dare to guarantee this with your heads?"
The air in the office immediately dropped to freezing point.
Professor Wang’s face turned red, and he stepped forward.
"I dare!"
"I, Wang Jian Country, guarantee with forty years of my party spirit and my life! The data is absolutely true!"
Dean Li also straightened his back.
"Minister Zhang, I also guarantee! This is a fact our Agricultural College witnessed firsthand!"
Minister Zhang stared at them for a full ten seconds.
"Alright."
He waved his hand.
"Words count for nothing."
"Take us to see the site."
He paused and added.
"Bring that student named Lin Wan Yi to the site as well."
"I want to verify it personally in front of her."
North District trial field.
The atmosphere was even more tense than three days ago.
Minister Zhang and his party stood on the field ridge, looking serious.
Dean Li and Professor Wang stood beside them, their palms sweaty.
Lin Wan Yi was also called over; she stood calmly at the back of the crowd.
An elder expert with glasses and gray hair, an authority on insects invited by Minister Zhang from the Science Academy, held a high-power magnifying glass and squatted in the field.
He first picked up a withered and stiff cotton bollworm carcass.
He examined it.
Then pried open a gnawed cotton boll, picking out a dark golden insect egg from inside.
Placed it under the magnifying glass.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
Everyone held their breath.
The old expert’s hand began to tremble.
At first, it was an imperceptible tremor.
But later, it shook like a sieve, barely holding the magnifying glass steady.
He suddenly stood up, so excited his body swayed a bit.
He rushed to Minister Zhang, his voice sharp and hoarse from excitement.
"Minister!"
"A miracle! This is a miracle that rewrites the textbooks!"
He pointed to the cotton field, practically shouting.
"This isn’t control!"
"This is directional extinction at the genetic level!"
"These golden wasps not only killed the adults and larvae, they didn’t even spare the eggs! Their offspring will hatch from the cotton bollworm eggs and continue the slaughter!"
"Such control... such precision... it’s simply a divine act!"
"Boom!"
The entire scene erupted.
Minister Zhang, upon hearing this, was shocked all over.
He turned around, his gaze piercing through the crowd, locking onto the quietly standing girl.
He walked over with large strides.
Everyone automatically parted to create a path.
He stopped in front of Lin Wan Yi.
"Classmate Lin Wan Yi."
Lin Wan Yi raised her head, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Hello, Minister."
Minister Zhang looked at her clear, calm eyes, his heart churning.
He took a deep breath and took out a document from his briefcase.
The header on the document was a striking red.
A genuine, red-letter document.
Minister Zhang’s voice rose suddenly, echoing throughout the trial field.
"After research at the Party Group meeting of the Ministry of Agriculture, it has been decided!"
"The research led by Classmate Lin Wan Yi from Beijing Agricultural College on the ’Golden Red-eyed Wasp Biological Control Method’ has achieved remarkable results and significant impact!"
"From now on, it will be classified as a top-level national agricultural confidential project!"
"A special project group will be formed, with Classmate Lin Wan Yi as the leader, to gradually promote it nationwide!"
He paused, then took out a thick manila envelope from his briefcase.
"Meanwhile, to commend Classmate Lin Wan Yi’s outstanding contribution, a special contribution bonus is specially granted..."
He personally handed the envelope to Lin Wan Yi.
"Five thousand yuan!"
Five thousand yuan!
These three words rang like a thunderclap in everyone’s ears.
The entire ridge was deathly silent at first.
Then, exploded in thunderous applause and cheers!
"Classmate Lin! The hero of our Agricultural College!"
"My God! Nationwide promotion!"
Dean Li and Professor Wang were so emotional they cried and laughed, hugging each other.
In the midst of this sea of celebration.
A person staggered in from outside the crowd.
It was Chen Zhiyuan.
His face was pale, lips trembling.
He made his way through the cheering crowd, step by step, to Lin Wan Yi.
Amidst everyone’s shocked gazes.
He stood firm.
And then, to Lin Wan Yi, he bent down.
A perfect, ninety-degree deep bow.
His head nearly touched the ground.
"Classmate Lin."
His voice was hoarse, tinged with sobbing, filled with complete remorse.
"I was wrong."
"It was my narrow vision, my shortsightedness, my petty heart!"
He raised his head, eyes red, full of plea.
"Please, give me a chance."
"I want to join your project group."
"I ask for nothing else, I can do anything! Clean, move things, feed insects... as long as I can follow you, let me see... see the true future of our agriculture!"
The cheers around came to an abrupt halt.
All eyes were focused on this dramatic scene.
Lin Wan Yi looked at him.
Looking at the once arrogant, now humble to the dust man, the province’s second place.
On her face, there was no pride of a victor, no mockery.
Only calmness.
She took the envelope Minister Zhang handed and casually gave it to Gu Lan behind her.
Then, she finally spoke to Chen Zhiyuan.
The voice was very light, yet clearly reached everyone’s ears.
"The project group has just been established, and we are short of staff."
She paused for a moment.
"Tomorrow at eight in the morning, report to the greenhouse."
