Yacos measured it with the instrument he had, and the numbers confirmed it. There was no doubt; the experiment had indeed succeeded.
However, Yacos felt a sense of emptiness inside, unsure of what to say. After a moment of contemplation, he set down the instrument and casually picked a tomato. He took a small knife and sliced off a piece.
Seeing Yacos's actions, everyone present immediately understood what he was about to do and gathered around him. Under their watchful eyes, Yacos took the first bite of the tomato, and its sweetness overwhelmed him. His face instantly displayed a look of astonishment.
As others witnessed this, they eagerly grabbed their own tomatoes and each took a small piece. They chewed gently, and smiles of satisfaction spread across their faces.
"Oh my! This is delicious!" one exclaimed. "It's completely different from the ones we buy at the supermarket! The texture is incredible!"
"I'll never be able to eat any other tomatoes again!" another added. "This tastes just like what I remember from my childhood."
The team members excitedly discussed their experience. Chen Xuan took a bite of his tomato as well and remarked, "This flavor is amazing! It reminds me of the tomatoes I used to eat when I was a kid; they were just as sweet back then."
"Indeed," Xiao Jiao Jiao suddenly sighed. "Since the economic development, tomatoes have changed in flavor for better transportation and sales. I never expected to taste such sweet tomatoes again."
"Thank you, Expert Chen. You have done something truly remarkable."
Xiao Jiao Jiao smiled sweetly, then turned to the staff of Xiangnong Group behind her and instructed, "Notify headquarters that the Tomato Project has been successfully developed and has exceeded our targets. Please send someone from headquarters to verify and arrange for the next steps. Additionally, in my capacity as Vice President, I will apply for extra rewards for our team members. Please get headquarters' approval."
"Yes!" Xiao Jiao Jiao's secretary nodded vigorously before rushing out of the laboratory.
Everyone present heard her words. Thinking about the substantial rewards following the project's completion, they immediately cheered and embraced one another.
Xiao Jiao Jiao smiled at the young people before her; they were so adorable and deserving of her efforts to secure additional rewards for them.
Professor Yang approached, expressing, "I have successfully completed your project. At last, I have not let President Xiao down."
Xiao Jiao Jiao responded respectfully, "Professor Yang, thank you for your assistance with Xiangnong Group. Without you, we truly wouldn't know how to wrap up this project."
"Don't thank me; thank my disciple instead."
"Chen Xuan?" Xiao Jiao Jiao's eyes brightened as she understood Professor Yang's implication: thank my disciple and give him the best honors and recognition; he deserves your cultivation!
With this thought in mind, Xiao Jiao Jiao smiled at Chen Xuan, who was currently surrounded by cheers from everyone, basking in their congratulations.
Seeing Xiao Jiao Jiao approach, the crowd quickly parted to make way for her.
Xiao Jiao Jiao stood directly in front of Chen Xuan, gazing at the charming and knowledgeable man before her. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement as she lightly smiled and said, "Expert Chen, thank you for your significant contributions to this project. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to complete it successfully.
To express our gratitude, Xiangnong Group would like to invite you to be our Chief Consultant. Would you accept?"
After speaking, Xiao Jiao Jiao looked at Chen Xuan with anticipation. At that moment, upon hearing the title of Chief Consultant, a look of astonishment appeared on Professor Yang's face behind her. It was clear that Xiao Jiao Jiao had a strong and valuable proposition.
The other team members widened their eyes in shock, gasping as they looked at Xiao Jiao Jiao, as if her words had delivered a tremendous impact. Chen Xuan was also slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected such a substantial reward right from the start.
The position of Chief Consultant was no ordinary title.
