The Farming Livestreamer: I Don't Want to Inherit Billions!-Chapter 302: The Old Man Shows No Mercy
When did she join us?
Why didn’t I know about it?
The old man’s voice wasn’t too loud or too soft, just right so that the entire venue and all the livestreaming audiences could hear it.
Eh?
What’s going on?
"Student Zhai Li has already met the qualifications to apply to the institute, and has formally applied to your institute... Are you saying that you didn’t come to the Autumn Expo because of Zhai Li?"
President Yang of the Sanmu Group was also a bit puzzled at this moment.
He’s in his fifties, and as the boss of a top company, he’s encountered all sorts of situations.
But circumstances like today’s that leave him baffled, he’s truly at a loss.
His question voiced what everyone else was wondering.
A group of people all turned to the old man, including Zhai Li.
She watched Su Mo standing beside Chi Youyou, and a shocking thought popped into her head...
Impossible!
"You’re saying I came to the Autumn Expo for her?"
The old man stroked his chin, saw President Yang nod, and then turned to ask the other experts, "Do you all think so too?"
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The old man’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, no wonder they had said such things upon meeting him earlier.
He thought they knew about Chi Youyou joining their institute!
"Director Liao, is that really not the case? I thought..."
"Director Liao, there must be some misunderstanding here, I think we all misunderstood!"
Dean Qian interrupted President Yang to mediate, "On behalf of the Autumn Expo, I apologize to the International Agricultural Research Institute. Guessing without understanding the situation fully has caused unnecessary trouble."
"It’s not your fault, it’s also my failure to clarify earlier that caused this trouble."
The old man waved his hand, "Actually, the reason I came to the Autumn Expo is indeed related to someone here. At the time, I was just curious, and she highly recommended the Autumn Expo, saying there would be surprises in Huaxia agriculture and talented agricultural technologists from all over Huaxia."
The old man had his hands clasped behind his back and spoke calmly.
He glanced at Chi Youyou, ultimately deciding to reveal it, given that not everyone in the audience had good intentions.
Don’t think he didn’t notice.
Especially the president of the Sanmu Group among these experts, really acting as if he’s blind, clearly just a stooge for that Zhai person!
Hmph!
When that fat woman falsely accused their family Youbao earlier, they were all ready to dig a deeper pit!
"Since we’re still here, I thought we’d join in and have a chance to exchange ideas with Huaxia Agriculture. We can pursue long-term collaborations and many exchanges in technology!"
The old man said as he stroked his small beard, "I believe our International Agricultural Research Institute and the Autumn Expo will make Huaxia’s agricultural journey go further, right, Dean Qian."
"Certainly, with the support of your institute, our agricultural journey will be vast and boundless!"
The International Agricultural Research Institute is involved in agricultural research worldwide.
Furthermore, the director is from Huaxia, so he’s sure to support Huaxia agriculture generously.
Even though he supported before, the Autumn Expo here was under his name but he had never attended personally.
This time, the Autumn Expo will not only draw attention in Huaxia but also increase its international visibility.
"I haven’t clarified earlier, which caused this misunderstanding. I think it’s necessary to clarify here that student Zhai Li has not joined the International Agricultural Research Institute, but indeed we have a newcomer, everyone knows her -- the champion of this Autumn Expo, Chi Youyou!"
The old man cleared his throat and formally introduced through the microphone.
"Youyou initially asked me to keep it a secret, for fear that telling might influence everyone’s judgment. She doesn’t want people to think she achieved this because of her connection with the International Agricultural Research Institute. But now, I feel it’s necessary to be open, each expert is highly professional and definitely not the type of person who would be partial!"
The old man’s words were a lavish appreciation.
It resonated with the experts.
They found it very sensible; before, they thought Zhai Li was the one from the International Agricultural Research Institute, yet it was Chi Youyou who won as the champion!
Thus, Chi Youyou’s first place is well deserved! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
No wonder she could join the International Agricultural Research Institute at such a young age!
"My gosh! Chi Youyou is from the International Agricultural Research Institute!"
"So those previous rumors were fake? Zhai Li never joined the International Agricultural Research Institute!"
"Nonsense, the director just said he doesn’t even know anyone named Zhai Li!"
...
[Even if one doesn’t understand the International Agricultural Research Institute well, just hearing the name sounds impressive!]
[Wow, I just knew the pretty lady wasn’t that simple! Who’d have thought she’s from the International Agricultural Research Institute!]
...
[Wow, what a twist! That person called Zhai Li was too much! Misleading our Zhengzheng!]
[Exactly, she only applied, hadn’t even been accepted yet was spreading it around, now it backfired!]
...
Besides the venue, everyone in the official and Kite’s live streams was exclaiming.
No one expected such a reversal.
Yin Zhengzheng wished she could find a hole to hide in, for she had just foolishly defended Zhai Li!
Fortunately, the fans didn’t overthink it, assuming she was just misled by Zhai Li.
This could really ruin her!
Except...
Who exactly is this Chi Youyou, for Su Jinxiao pretends not to be familiar with her, and the man protecting her...
He has to look into this thoroughly later!
This... This can’t be...
Zhai Li looked at Chi Youyou in horror, then at the expert panel in front.
Chi Youyou from the International Agricultural Research Institute?
Absolutely impossible!
"Dean Qian, we should deal with the present matter first. The entire nation is watching us, and the competing teams are all here. The Autumn Expo needs to give an explanation."
The old man prompted with his hands behind him.
"Student Zhai Li, do you have anything to say about this?"
"I... I don’t know about this matter, what should I say?"
Suddenly called upon, Zhai Li snapped back, as long as she insists it’s unrelated to her, it’ll be fine, "Liu Yuan is our company’s employee, but I never instructed him to do such things, I have reason to suspect he was bribed to frame me! But I’m willing to cooperate with the police investigation to clarify this matter!"
