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

Chapter 438, Episode 0479: A Huge Misunderstanding

All the main buildings are located halfway up the mountain, with a four-lane main road in the middle, residential areas on the left, and work areas on the right.

The laboratory buildings are all on the right, separated by a certain distance, and the nine-story buildings that look exactly the same stand there in a staggered arrangement.

Xu Shan was also here for the first time and didn't know the way. Although he was driving, there was a guide car in front of them.

The person leading the way was also an acquaintance, Xiao Zhang, one of Old Zhou's assistants. He had come here directly after learning that they were returning to Beijing and was specially arranged by Old Zhou to welcome them. He was also one of the supervisors overseeing the construction here.

The six laboratory buildings are arranged in a five-pointed star pattern, surrounding the central laboratory building.

The No. 1 Experiment Building was specially built for Lin Yuexi, the purest place exclusively for her. It is so comprehensive that it has prepared everything that exists in the world.

The other five buildings are currently vacant; as for what to do with them...
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "What Elder Long and Elder Zhou mean is that this is Academician Lin's place, so you can decide how to arrange it. Elder Zhou also specifically said that they will do their best to cooperate as long as you need them, and that scientists can be called upon at any time."

Lin Yuexi: "..."

"hehe."

Xiao Zhang rubbed his nose awkwardly. He was a little embarrassed because Zhou Lao and the others were making no attempt to hide their intentions and were throwing their abacus beads directly at Academician Lin's face.

But there's nothing we can do; Academician Lin is not only brilliant, but also incredibly talented.

Most importantly, she is the only one with such talent to date, and she is so young.

Lin Yuexi hadn't intended to make things difficult for Xiao Zhang, but when she turned her head, she saw the seemingly endless fields that had already been cultivated in the distance, with many areas already covered in green. She was speechless: "You've already made all the preparations, and you still come to ask me?"

"Academician Lin, you've misunderstood. That wasn't arranged by higher-ups. This place was built, but that place was completely empty. Zhao, the brigade stationed here, felt that it was a waste to leave that large piece of land empty. The soldiers didn't have much to do besides training, so he asked them to clear the land and prepare to plant something."

Xiao Zhang felt utterly wronged; it was truly a misunderstanding.

Big misunderstanding.

It turns out that Zhao Lü is an acquaintance of Academician Lin.

Zhao Jianguo used to be a soldier under Leng Zhi in the Northwest. He was awarded three First-Class Merits and seven Second-Class Merits. Not to mention the collective merits, he had so many medals that he couldn't even hang them all on his body.

However, this was only one of the reasons he was chosen. The most crucial reason, which is somewhat cruel, was that he had no parents and no children.

Zhao Jianguo was an orphan who never married. Now forty-five, he lives alone in the military.

He was devoted to his country and a very pure person. It wasn't that no one wanted to introduce him to a wife, but that he himself didn't want to get married. He believed that he couldn't give his wife the time and affection a husband should give, so he shouldn't burden others.

He felt that people like him couldn't even guarantee their own safety. If he were to sacrifice himself, all that would be left for his wife and children would be sorrow. If he were to become disabled, that would be even worse than sorrow. Why bother?

As for retirement, if he is fortunate enough to live a safe and secure old age, he believes the country will not abandon him.

He's as stubborn as an ox, no amount of persuasion can change his mind; he's completely set on his own way.

Lin Yuexi needs someone as pure and carefree as him.

"Don't talk about people behind their backs." No sooner had Xiao Zhang finished speaking than a loud voice, seemingly dissatisfied, came from not far away: "Although it is the matter, Assistant Zhang, you dropped it too quickly. You really didn't even stand by for a second."

Assistant Zhang: "..."

He seems to have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today. Stand at attention and salute: "Good morning, Commander Zhao."

As for the rest, as long as I pretend it never happened, it never happened.

Zhao Jianguo returned the greeting, but after lowering his hand, he didn't forget to glare at him back. Then, like a master of disguise, he turned around and greeted Lin Yuexi with a beaming smile:
"Hello Academician Lin, I am Zhao Jianguo, who is in charge of security here. You can call me Comrade Zhao or Uncle Zhao."

If you can call him Uncle Zhao, that would be best.

Lin Yuexi was very respectful to someone like Zhao Jianguo, shaking his hand with a smile and respectfully addressing him as "Uncle Zhao."

"Hey."

Zhao Jianguo was overjoyed. "Have you checked the laboratory building yet? Is there anything that's lacking? If you need anything, just let me know. If the higher-ups won't give you what you need, Uncle Zhao will snatch it for you."

Assistant Zhang became anxious: "Hey, Zhao Lv, don't wrong someone just so you can get closer to Academician Lin."

"How did I wrong you? It took almost half a month to get the application for a water heater approved, and then another half a month for the product to be delivered. With all this fuss, Academician Lin might have already finished the product, but you haven't even approved the raw materials yet."

Oh dear, Assistant Zhang's eyes turned red with anxiety: "How can that be the same? Besides, the water heater issue isn't a special case, haven't I already explained it?"

Fearing that Assistant Zhang might not be able to withstand a punch from Zhao Jianguo if the two started fighting, Lin Yuexi quickly interrupted their spellcasting:

"I've already visited Uncle Zhao, and I'm very satisfied. For now, we don't need anything."

"That's good. Come on, let me take you to the field. Old Xie has developed a J2 variety. I told them about it the other day and they got so excited that they planted it on ten acres of land."

He waved his hand to signal Assistant Zhang to get lost, and then led Lin Yuexi toward the field.

Assistant Zhang was so angry he laughed, shook his head, and turned to leave.

“I heard a while ago that they had some problems, apparently J2. I couldn’t go out, and the seedlings in our field looked fine. On the contrary, they looked better than the other watermelon seedlings, so I didn’t ask anyone to inquire.”

I'm mainly just embarrassed.

One of his old comrades-in-arms now works as a security guard at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and it was from this old comrade-in-arms that he heard about the existence of the J2 watermelon.

My old comrade told me that the J2 watermelon is a variety improved by Professor Xie's team. It has a thin skin, no seeds, a red heart, is crisp, fragrant, and sweet. Just by reading the description, you can tell it's a good product.

However, Professor Xie has only successfully tested the planting so far, and he didn't quite understand what it meant. In any case, J2 is not yet ready for large-scale planting.

He was fortunate enough to eat a slice of melon at his old comrade's place. The melon wasn't very big, only about five or six pounds, but it was indeed as described—fragrant, crisp, and sweet—and it was indeed thin-skinned and seedless.

Don't let Lao Zhao's rough appearance fool you; he's not rigid, and his vision is surprisingly far-sighted.

He had found out that no other buildings would be built in the manor in the short term. Even if there were additions, they would only be to the living area. The working area would likely remain at its current size for the next three to five years.

It's such a waste to leave such a large piece of land empty.

He knows that research costs a lot of money. If we can earn income from farming, we can save some money on that.

Lin Yuexi did not oppose Zhao Jianguo's farming; on the contrary, she quite approved of it.

First, that place was clearly reserved for farming, or to put it more elegantly, it was a reserved experimental field; second, we Chinese people can't live without farming in our bones, and the reason she wanted to settle down on the estate was precisely because there she could live a life where she could open the door to get food and vegetables and smell the fragrance of fruit!
