Ma Guolong and the others hurried their steps, truly giving off a sense of fleeing in panic. Once they reached outside and got into the car, Ma Guolong let out a quiet sigh of relief. His face displayed a mix of responsibility, loneliness, and quiet joy.
As an old friend of Ma Guolong, Buffy immediately noticed something was off. He asked with concern, "Ma! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No!" Ma Guolong shook his head, remaining silent.
The car slowly started moving. Their business for the day had concluded, and they were preparing to return to Jianghe City for a dinner hosted by Ma Guolong's nephew. This moment should have been filled with joy. However, inside the car, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
The reason was simple; they had just witnessed a scene at Qing Xuan Farm that left many experts present feeling unsettled and unable to shake off their emotions. Undoubtedly, Qing Xuan Farm's environment and its sense of technology made it the most outstanding farm they had ever experienced.
If there were no surprises, the champion title should belong to him. Yet at this moment, many experts hesitated when faced with this conclusion. The reason was that no farm from Xia Country had ever received such an honor before. Ma Guolong and the others had visited four or five times and never thought that this year's champion would emerge from the Xia Country Region.
However, the conclusion delivered a sharp slap to them all. The atmosphere in the car fell into a tense silence as everyone awaited answers from Buffy and Ma Guolong, the two leaders.
After a moment, Ma Guolong withdrew his gaze from the window and sighed softly, "It's been forty-five years. I've been abroad for forty-five years, and I never expected such rapid development back home."
As he spoke, Ma Guolong smiled faintly. He looked at everyone and said, "Score it however you see fit; there's no need for special treatment."
"Alright, Ma!" Upon hearing Ma Guolong's words, everyone exchanged glances and then laughed as they gave Qing Xuan Farm high scores!
Ma Guolong looked at the submitted materials and smiled lightly. "It seems that this year's champion should be Qing Xuan Farm!"
"That's right! I initially thought it would be Island Nation Afu Farm, as their technology is also quite impressive, and their farm is very well-crafted. But after seeing Qing Xuan Farm, I abandoned that idea and believe that Qing Xuan Farm truly deserves to be the champion," Ma Guolong remarked with emotion.
He organized the materials submitted by everyone, preparing to take them back to headquarters for submission.
Just then, Ma Guolong's phone rang. He picked it up to see that it was a call from his nephew, Ma Guoyuan.
Buffy noticed and chuckled, "Ma! It seems your nephew is eagerly waiting for us to enjoy some delicious Lafite. Haha!"
Buffy’s cheerful voice brought smiles to the faces of the other three foreigners.
"You glutton! This time you’ll definitely get your fill!" Ma Guolong shook his head with a smile as he answered the call.
"Uncle, are you done with your business now?" came Ma Guoyuan's voice from the other end.
"Yes, I'm done," Ma Guolong replied without hesitation. He switched to speakerphone and continued speaking with Ma Guoyuan. "My old friend, you remember Buffy from our last meeting? He's been eagerly looking forward to drinking your Lafite!"
"Haha! I've been ready for a long time! Uncle, you can come over to drink anytime!" Ma Fuyuan laughed heartily.
