After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 238, Episode 0247: Truth and Falsehood
Lin Yuexi was stunned.

His dad told him to mind his own business?

This is a place where it's easy for people to overthink things!

With all the tasks recently assigned, she's finally had some free time and can go home after get off work in the evenings.

So, she brought it up during dinner that evening, observing her parents' reactions as she spoke.

Ever since she met Ye Changshan, she had always felt that he was a very contradictory person. The rumors about him were practically saying that he was both arrogant and despicable, but he himself gave people the impression that he was a bit dim-witted.

Honestly, if he weren't the leader's son, Lin Yuexi would definitely be thinking of a conspiracy theory.

Her mother's reaction was normal: first surprise, then obvious disgust, and then she suppressed her disgust and became expressionless.

Her father's reaction was rather intriguing. He raised his eyebrows, as if surprised yet also expecting it; it was hard to tell.

Leng Zhi noticed his daughter's confusion. After thinking for a moment, he realized that the main thing was that his daughter had taught the third boy how to play pranks when she was five or six years old. For the sake of Chang Shan's safety, he decided to tell her the truth.

Besides, this can't be done without my daughter's cooperation.

"You guessed right. Ye Changshan is a bit stubborn. His reputation outside is all deliberately manipulated by someone, and you'd never guess who that person is."

Lin Yuexi and Zhang Hongying were both stunned. Was this really the truth?
But Ye Changshan is the leader's only son, so who would dare to scheme against him?

Both of them thought of the same answer, and their pupils contracted simultaneously.

isn't it?
No way?
Leng Zhi didn't give them time to speculate and gave them the answer: "It's Old Master Ye."

"Sigh~"

"why?"

Zhang Hongying was shocked, but Lin Yuexi remained silent.

She thought she should know why.

Sure enough, Leng Zhi whispered a few names. Others might be unfamiliar with these people, but Zhang Hongying knew them. In this era, people who could study abroad all came from good families, and these were all people Zhang Hongying knew.

Her expression immediately changed slightly, and she unconsciously whispered, "I thought something had happened to them, but it turns out..."

The people Leng Zhi mentioned were all scientists who went out and returned in the same batch. In fact, there were more than twenty people in total, not just the few Leng Zhi mentioned.

These twenty-odd people were sent abroad "by imperial decree." At that time, the relationship between our country and Country E was quite good, with mutual exchanges. Country E sold us equipment and was also willing for our people to come to them to learn professional knowledge. These people were among the twenty-odd selected out of the hundred.

Later, relations between the two countries broke down, and Country E banned these 100 people from returning, saying that they had learned Country E's scientific and technological knowledge and that what was in their minds could not be returned, and that our country had no right to seize Country E's technology. We were weak back then; let alone mushroom clouds, most of the equipment in our army was salvaged. Compared with Country E, whose technology was no less advanced than that of the United States, we could only suffer losses, and those 100 students were wronged.

After our mushroom cloud rose into the sky, we felt a little more confident and dared to demand that Country E return our people.

Leng Zhi said, "Several leaders said that the current period will soon pass and they will not be anonymous for life. The glory that is due to them will be returned to them sooner or later. However, scientific research is rigorous and cannot tolerate any mess. From the start of a project to its success, how many people are involved is recorded, and no one has the right to change this record."

He looked at Lin Yuexi seriously and asked, "How do you think we should restore the glory of someone who has to hide from the public eye?"

Lin Yuexi blinked, not answering his question, but instead throwing out the same question: "Dad, do we need to bring in another person for my project?"

Leng Zhi immediately smiled. He knew his daughter was smart. "Yes, she also has the surname Ye. I heard she's quite good at generators."

Zhang Hongying didn't quite understand what the father and daughter were talking about.
"Along with her came an agricultural expert, a remarkable person. I heard he didn't have much formal education, but he managed to increase the yield per acre and even created a treasure called hybrid rice. Can you believe it?"

Hybrid rice?

"Grandpa Yuan," Lin Yuexi murmured unconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Leng Zhi slapped his thigh. "You actually know him? Yes, his surname is Yuan. He's incredibly capable. I, your father, admire no one but him now. Last year, he set up an experimental field and the yield was just under 800 kilograms per mu. I heard that this year he has already distributed the seeds to several cities. If those places can achieve a yield of 800 kilograms per mu, the days of hunger for the people will soon be over."

Leng Zhi chuckled, stroking his chin like a kid. "We're short of water and the geology here is bad, so it's hard to grow anything with a high yield. I was thinking that since he's so capable, could he help me figure out what's suitable to grow here? I didn't expect Old Yuan to be so accommodating and agree to let me take a look without saying a word."

He used to think like most people: it's just farming, anyone can do that.

But after getting to know Lao Yuan and his group, he realized that there was a lot to learn about farming, and it was no easier than building mushroom clouds.

In his eyes, any formulas or calculations he couldn't understand were all equally difficult!
Lin Yuexi was also a little excited. In her past world, Yuan Lao was already a historical figure, a milestone historical figure, a great man, and the one who made the world no longer go hungry.

Unfortunately, due to different majors, Lin Yuexi didn't know much about Mr. Yuan. However, there was content about Mr. Yuan in her elementary school textbooks and high school history books, and she had always admired him very much.

When she arrived here, she found that although many places were similar to her former world, they were only similar, so she never thought that there would be Yuan Lao here.

Unexpectedly...

I felt a little excited, but also a vague sense of fear.

"By the way, let's put Lao Yuan aside for now. As for Lao Ye, you need to cooperate with me, daughter. Lao Ye can't be registered under his name for the time being, and we should try not to let too many people know about his existence."

Ok?
Zhang Hongying couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Dad, even if these people are back from abroad, do they really need to be this careful?"

Lin Yuexi was also puzzled.
