they all stood at the door, eagerly anticipating the final results. Professor Yang held a syringe-like device in his hand, a special instrument used to test the sugar content of tomatoes. It displayed numbers ranging from one to one hundred, with higher numbers indicating better quality. The requirement from Xiangnong Group was to achieve at least ninety, while Professor Yang's ideal target was seventy-five.
Looking at the closed door, Professor Yang suddenly spoke in a low voice, "I heard from an expert overseas that in the Netherlands, the sugar index of tomatoes can reach as high as ninety."
"Really?" The crowd nearby raised their eyebrows in surprise.
"It's for Cherry Tomatoes," Professor Yang explained.
Only then did everyone let out a quiet sigh of relief. The development of Cherry Tomatoes was much simpler, and achieving that sugar content wasn't unreasonable.
Professor Yang stood with his hands clasped behind his back and smiled, "Xiangnong Group has invested so much money this time with the goal of monopolizing the Big Tomato market. After all our expenditures, it’s time to see some results."
Hearing this, everyone nodded silently. They had been under tremendous pressure during this period, and now, with Chen Xuan's involvement, they finally felt they were on the brink of witnessing a breakthrough.
With that thought in mind, they all looked expectantly towards Laboratory Ten.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Professor Yang clapped his hands and was the first to walk towards Laboratory Ten, saying with a smile, "It's finally time to verify our results."
Professor Yang quickly opened the door and walked in. The crowd filed in behind him, and a ripe tomato appeared before them, its surface glistening and appetizing.
Professor Yang did not hesitate. He swiftly took out a syringe and inserted it into the tomato.
Beep, beep. A number quickly flashed on the screen.
So high!
Professor Yang raised an eyebrow, his face lighting up with joy. This index was the best result he had achieved in recent days!
"Well done!" Chen Xuan exclaimed excitedly.
He eagerly moved on to the next tomato.
Beep, beep. Still high!
Professor Yang raised an eyebrow again and continued to test another one.
Beep, still high!
He tested several more in quick succession, and astonishingly, they all yielded high results!
However, a sudden heaviness settled in Professor Yang's heart as his expression visibly darkened.
"Professor, how are the results?" the crowd asked with concern.
With a sigh, Professor Yang looked toward Chen Xuan among the crowd and shook his head in disappointment. "It's still a bit lacking," he said, raising the syringe to show the clearly displayed number on it.
"Oh no!"
"Just a little more to go!"
In the laboratory, everyone expressed their disappointment. Zhang Hou and Liu Yueming instinctively looked at Chen Xuan, their gazes filled with a hint of hope. Professor Yang then spoke up, "Xiao Chen, is there any other way?" His tone surprisingly carried a trace of expectation.
Still not working?
Chen Xuan furrowed his brows. The current data was already the best they had. Was there really nothing more he could do to optimize it? At this moment, even Chen Xuan felt a bit at a loss, unsure of how to proceed.
Tap, tap.
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached. Chen Xuan turned to see a pompous foreigner striding in, guided by a staff member. The disdainful attitude was evident, causing Chen Xuan to frown. He felt that this foreigner looked somewhat familiar. After staring for a while, realization struck him—wasn't this the same person he had encountered a few days ago?
