Chapter 198: Mysterious Young Lady
Long Yu stared at Yao Ran's blushing face and chuckled. They waited for twenty minutes before Yuan Rihui came back.
He looked around to see if anyone was following him and then said, "The goods are ready. Please come with me."
With Yuan Rihui leading the way, they walked to an abandoned office building.
When they walked into the office building, they saw a teenager guarding the goods. The teenager saw Yuan Rihui return and greeted him, "Brother Yuan."
Yuan Rihui asked, "Did anyone come while I was away?"
The teenager shook his head and replied, "Nobody came."
Hearing this, Yuan Rihui breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to Yao Ran and said, "Miss Yao, you can inspect the goods first."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yao Ran glanced at the bags and smiled, "I trust the quality of your goods."
After saying that, Yao Ran opened her backpack and took 15 small umbrellas from her space, using the backpack as a cover. She then calmly handed them over to Yuan Rihui.
Yuan Rihui noticed the small umbrella brand and asked, "Miss Yao, this is a very expensive brand. Do you have more of them?"
The small umbrellas she gave Yuan Rihui were ones she had hoarded before.
Since she had never had a boyfriend before Long Yu, Yao Ran wasn't familiar with which brands were expensive or high quality. When she had stocked up on small umbrellas earlier, she had simply ordered the most expensive ones.
Seeing Yuan Rihui look at her with excitement in his eyes, she nodded and said, "I still have more."
Hearing this, Yuan Rihui eagerly asked, "Miss Yao, is there anything else you need? Food? Clothes? Anything you want, I, Yuan Rihui, will find it for you."
These days, his cousin feels depressed because of the useless antiques he has hoarded in the past. Now that Yao Ran wants them, his cousin would likely be delighted to get rid of them.
While Yuan Rihui went to find his cousin to share the good news, the soldier who had previously spoken with Yao Ran was standing in front of Commander Xu and other high- ranking military officers.
The soldier was sweating profusely despite the cold and didn't dare to move.
After a long silence, Xu Qipeng put down the report on the table and asked, "Where did you get this liquid fertilizer?"
The soldier quickly answered, "From a young lady, Sir."
"Do you know who she is or what she looks like?" Xu Qipeng asked again.
The soldier shook his head and replied, "The young lady covered her face with a mask and wore snow goggles and a hat, so I couldn't see her face. But her voice sounded young."
Xu Qipeng thoughtfully pondered on the soldier's response. After a moment of silence, he said, "You may return to your post."
The soldier saluted and left the commander's office. Once the door closed behind him, Xu Qipeng turned to his comrades and asked, "What do you think of this matter, Professor Qin?"
An old man in his sixties looked at the plastic bottle and said, "Given the current food shortage in our city, we must find out where this liquid fertilizer came from or at least the ingredients."
The others sitting around the long table nodded in agreement.
When the soldier handed Wu Lian the liquid fertilizer this morning, it was given directly to the workers on the farmland.
Since there were no instructions on how to use it, one of the workers poured half the bottle into a bucket of water and mixed it. The worker then used the mixture to water a plot of soil in the greenhouse before moving on to other tasks.
When the worker returned to check on the plants ten minutes later, he was shocked to find that most of the seeds had already sprouted, each with three to five green leaves. Seeing this, the worker quickly reported the development to his supervisor.
After the supervisor confirmed that the liquid fertilizer had caused such rapid growth, he hurriedly took the remaining half bottle of fertilizer to report to Xu Qipeng.
