“Ye Heng, I heard that you recently found a pretty good new assistant.”

Although that was what she said, her words carried a hint of ridicule.

The person who spoke was Zhao Yao. Now that she had arrived at Ye Heng’s office, she finally saw Ye Heng’s famous assistant in the company.

However, after seeing her, Zhao Yao was a little surprised.

After all, she didn’t expect that this assistant’s figure was so good, and even her looks were very attractive.

From Zhao Yao’s aesthetic point of view, they were actually on par in terms of visual appearance.

Moreover, this assistant worked as a model previously, therefore, if one were to compare their figures, Zhao Yao’s would not be as good as her.

“This assistant is not that good either. She is still a little rash in her work and is not as good as you.”

At this moment, Ye Heng said with a smile.

Although he was a straight and forthcoming man, he could sense some dissatisfaction in her tone.

So, he continued to speak.

“Fortunately, this assistant has some knowledge about potted plants and plants.”

“Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.”

Hearing Ye Heng’s words, Zhao Yao was a little happy.

However, from her point of view, Ye Heng still did not understand her meaning.

“Alright, I have an idea, why don’t I continue to be your assistant?”

Although Zhao Yao said so, she knew that with Ye Heng’s personality, he would probably reject her.

Sure enough, Ye Heng’s reply made her somewhat speechless.

“It’s okay. I just did a large-scale recruitment exercise and the company has also recruited many employees. There are still many things that haven’t been settled.”

“You’re now the general manager of our company. The company can’t do without you.”

“It’s better to let this assistant continue,” Ye Heng said with a smile.

After hearing Ye Heng’s words, Zhao Yao smiled.

“That’s true. You’ve brought in hundreds of new employees all at once and we still have to train them. I’m also busy over this.”

“Oh right, Ye Heng, when are you going to start buying the land in the Gobi Desert?”

Zhao Yao looked at Ye Heng with puzzlement.

“It’ll be done soon. I’ve already received the contact details with the local government in the Gobi Desert.”

“It will take less than a month to complete the negotiations.”

“We can also buy the land here.”

Ye Heng scratched his head and said with a smile.

It would take a certain amount of time to buy the land and prepare the daily necessities such as food and drinks, as well as accommodation for their employees.

At first, he planned to rent a house in a small city not far from the Gobi Desert, and then the employees would live there.

However, even so, they would have to start building employees’ dormitories around the desert within the next few years.

After all, these employees would be following him in the long run.

It would be better to secure accommodation for them to live in.

Or perhaps Ye Heng was considering Gobi Desert as the headquarters of the Cosmic Planting Company in the future.

“Boss, a Professor Li Jing from the Capital Agricultural University is here to see you.”

“Would you like to meet him?”

Meihua, the assistant, informed him from outside.

“It’s Professor Li Jing from the Capital Agricultural University.”

“It’s him?”

After hearing this, Ye Heng immediately knew who this person was.

After all, he was a well-known expert in botany in China.

Therefore, since this expert was willing to look for him, his purpose of coming was obvious.

He definitely wanted to take a look at his own company as well as the products under Cosmic Planting.

“Alright, since he’s here, let’s meet.”

Ye Heng nodded and said.

After hearing this, Zhao Yao immediately said, “Alright, I won’t bother you anymore.”

Her behaviour immediately made Ye Heng a little confused. He didn’t know what Zhao Yao was trying to do.

Not long after, Professor Li Jing arrived in his office.

“It’s Professor Li, isn’t it? Come, Meihua, make tea for Professor Li.”

Ye Heng looked at Professor Li who had come from afar and instructed his assistant.

“Yes, Boss.” Meihua brought two cups of hot tea over.

“I didn’t expect that you are the boss of this company, Cosmic Planting,” Li Jing said with a confused look when he saw Ye Heng.

After all, he had never expected that the boss of a listed company would actually be a young man like Ye Heng.

“My name is Ye Heng. May I know why Professor Li Jing is here?” Ye Heng asked with a smile.

“The reason is simple. I’m here to ask about the top-tier Tomato No. 1 and super lettuce developed by your Cosmic Planting flagship store. How were they developed?”

He couldn’t hold it in anymore and finally asked the burning question in his mind.

After all, he had spent almost two months analyzing the plants but he still got nothing.,

He was, after all, a famous professor of botany in China.

“I’m sorry, Professor Li. These two products are indeed the latest products developed by our company.”

“But information about these two latest plant species is confidential and considered the company’s secret, so I can’t reveal it to you.”

“I hope Professor Li can understand this.”

Ye Heng immediately rejected him.

“Okay, maybe I asked out of the blue. But your company is really powerful, to transform the plants planted in the ground into potted plants.”

“I have to say, it’s very impressive.” Professor Li praised him from the bottom of his heart.

To be able to let research academicians be in awe of his work was considered recognition of Ye Heng’s abilities.

“No, no. I have to thank you for your recognition, Professor Li.”

“Even though this involves our company’s secrets and we are not able to reveal them to you, we can unconditionally supply to you and your graduate students the products we developed in the future for research purposes.”

“In addition, our company can also provide jobs for your students.”

Ye Heng opened his mouth and revealed his plan to cooperate with Professor Li.

After all, he was going to buy properties in the Gobi Desert.

Then he would set up a research laboratory for botany.

In this way, Professor Li’s students, including students from the Capital Agricultural university, and even teachers and students from the National Agricultural University, could come to Cosmic Planting Company.

This place could provide them with sufficient jobs.

As the name of his product continued to grow, Ye Heng also had a sudden idea. He felt that he could rely on Professor Li to cover for him.

“Is the company willing to take the initiative to build the latest laboratory for us?”

When Professor Li heard this, he was tempted by his proposal.

After all, in his opinion, this was really convenient.

It could also help his students..
