"Are you talking about the esteemed Professor Yang Deyuan from Tsinghua University?" Xu Changqing asked in a deep voice.
Chen Xuan nodded and smiled, "That's right. He is my mentor. He held a conference in Jianghe City not long ago, so I believe Director Xu is familiar with him!"
Familiar? More than familiar! Xu Changqing was shocked. He had long known of this highly respected and authoritative agricultural expert in the country; his name was like thunder in his ears, and he was more than familiar with it.
He still vividly remembered that during the conference held by Professor Yang Deyuan in Jianghe City, all the prominent officials of Jianghe City attended the final banquet, respectfully toasting Professor Yang with a drink.
As a nation with a five-thousand-year history in agriculture, the deep-rooted respect for figures connected to the land was on full display at that moment.
At that banquet, Xu Changqing had also approached Professor Yang to chat for a few moments. He vaguely recalled hearing Professor Yang mention that he had a student from Chen Family Village who ran a farm and couldn't drink too much because he needed to check on his student later.
At that time, Xu Changqing hadn't thought much of it and soon forgot about it. Now, hearing Chen Xuan mention Professor Yang Deyuan, he was suddenly taken aback and exclaimed, "You are the student from Chen Family Village that Professor Yang mentioned?"
"Yes!" Chen Xuan nodded.
Seeing Chen Xuan's affirmation, Xu Changqing's expression changed. He looked at Chen Xuan with a complex gaze and sighed, "Xiao Chen, now I finally understand why you could manage this farm so well. It turns out you are a disciple of Professor Yang. No wonder you are an outstanding student from such a renowned teacher!"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly but said nothing; this was exactly the effect he wanted. From now on, when there were other products from the farm, people would only think of him as an accomplished disciple rather than suspecting any involvement with darker forces.
The crowd's expressions changed upon learning about Chen Xuan's identity. They were filled with disbelief. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably would never have believed it in their lifetime: a disciple of a professor with such authority in the agricultural field running a farm in the small place of Chen Family Village. It was truly incomprehensible!
Wang Man, straightforward and curious, asked, "Then why did you decide to open a farm here? With your teacher's prestige and the strength you've shown, you could easily find a good job or seek greater development."
After she spoke, she looked at Chen Xuan with anticipation. Her intuition told her that Chen Xuan had a story to tell.
"Why?" Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, smiled, and casually shared the reason he had returned to Chen Family Village.
Once he finished speaking, the room fell silent. No one said a word; everyone was lost in thought.
After a while, the Old Village Chief broke the silence. With red eyes and an emotional tone, he said, "Xiao Chen, I never expected you to have such ambitions!"
"Good! Good! Good!" The Old Village Chief exclaimed three times in a row. He raised his thumb and said excitedly, "You may seem young and inexperienced, but you possess the spirit of our elders! Well done! If foreigners can achieve it, so can we!"
"You are better than those who go abroad and never return!"
The Old Village Chief felt he couldn't offer much help, but he continued, "How about this? Come by my place later; we'll dissolve the contract. From today on, Chen Family Village will fully support your development of the farm!"
As he spoke, the Old Village Chief exuded a determined aura, his gaze fixed firmly on Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan chuckled; he was touched by the Old Village Chief's words. However, he wasn't in need of money at the moment. He shook his head with a smile and replied, "Old Village Chief, the contract has already been signed. I don't need the money; let's stick to the agreement."
But before the Old Village Chief could respond, Chen Xuan stopped him. "Old Village Chief, it's not easy for the village either. Your support is more than enough."
