It is too late to say anything now; the march towards the publicization of "Bilo" cannot be stopped.
"Yezhi, if we could find your uncle right away, maybe this year our county will see fields of lush green rice seedlings!" Director Yu's words were filled with excitement. "By the way, how many varieties are left in Zhoujiatun? Hurry and send them over; we need to get this breeding process moving."
Mentioning her fabricated uncle made Yezhi feel guilty, so she quickly changed the subject. "Uncle Yu, are you going to let anyone live? Always fixated on our little revolutionary spark, is that fair? I came to you for serious business!"
"Serious business! We were just talking about it! Get those seeds sent over quickly; otherwise, once we go to your Zhoujiatun, it won't be up to you anymore!" Inviting trouble was something Yezhi regretted immensely.
"The higher-ups can be oppressive! Hmph~ We're not afraid; I refuse to believe that in this world of **, the proletariat can't find a place to voice their concerns!" Yezhi held her head high, displaying a fearless demeanor that made Director Yu laugh heartily. "Little girl! What do you want from me?"
Yezhi's expression changed faster than flipping a page in a book as she put on a flattering smile. "Uncle Yu, I brought you some oil…!" Just as she started, she was interrupted by Director Yu. "I will definitely help if I can; there's no need for gifts!" Xiao Zhang secretly chuckled, thinking that calling him uncle was useless. Gifts should be given discreetly; who doesn't sneakily bring something to their leaders? Country folks can be so naïve.
Yezhi slid two white plastic jars containing Rice Bran Oil onto the desk. "I'm not here to promote the improper practice of 'gift-giving'; these two jars contain the miracle oil made from the rice bran of Zhoujiatun's miraculous rice 'Bilo.'” Upon hearing it was made from rice bran, Director Yu's expression changed dramatically, his jaw nearly dropping onto the desk. "Rice bran... rice bran oil... how is it extracted?" Yezhi was pleased with Director Yu's reaction; surprise and joy were evident, and she smugly replied with two words: "It's a secret!"
"You little rascal, you didn't come to see me just for this oil; spill it!" Director Yu urged eagerly. In truth, Yezhi hadn't figured out how to explain yet. "Well~ there were many coincidental factors involved; the extraction method really is a secret. Director Yu, our village also needs a pillar industry; it's the villagers' staple food and clothing…!" Director Yu understood well enough and smiled at Yezhi's animated speech without pressing further.
"Uncle Yu, every household in our community is now using Rice Bran Oil for cooking; it smells wonderful! Both adults and children are full of energy, and even the elderly seem rejuvenated…!"
Xiao Zhang couldn't hold back any longer and interjected, "Keep bragging… you're going to burst from all that hot air!"
Based on Director Yu's understanding of Yezhi, he believed she wasn't lying; it was just that her claims sounded too good to be true. "Yezhi, is it really that good?"
"Uncle Yu, our country's rice culture starts with eating rice bran, right? Is the oil extracted from rice bran bad? I don't believe it! I'm here to ask the comrades at the Agricultural Bureau to help me analyze it, and it would be best to provide a written proof for me!" This was Yezhi's plan; she wanted to use data to convince people about this new product, especially data presented by authoritative institutions. That would be highly profitable. She didn't want to sell the oil cheaply; she wanted to sell it at a premium.
This girl really dares to think big. Asking the Agricultural Bureau technicians for analysis and a certification report, "That's a bit difficult!" Director Yu pretended to be troubled.
Yezhi glared at him. If they weren't going to help with such a small favor, if she hadn't truly found a testing institution, she wouldn't have come to the Agricultural Bureau. It's the 21st century; you pay for testing and it's done—how could it be so troublesome? She glanced at Director Yu and thought, hmph~ aren't you concerned about Bilo?
"I'm going back to the village now to plant Bilo seeds!"
"Send them over!" Director Yu's eyes lit up, excitedly interjecting.
What a dream! "That's for feeding pigs!" Yezhi shouted loudly.
Director Yu was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Girl, you have quite the temper! Threatening your leader? What was supposed to be an easy task just got complicated!" He had known there was a way in. "Haha~ Uncle Yu loves joking around. You agreed, and once a leader speaks, it's hard to go back on their word!" Director Yu laughed even more heartily; this girl Yezhi was interesting. She had been stormy before, but now she was sunny with a smile.
"Uncle Yu, take this pot home and stir-fry a few dishes to see if it has the fragrant aroma I mentioned. This pot needs to be sent for testing to analyze its nutritional components."
...
By the time they left the Agricultural Bureau, it was already evening. Director Yu had initially invited Yezhi over for dinner at his house to see if she was just boasting. However, Yezhi had already promised to have dinner at Zhang Dou's House tonight, so he could only decline politely.
Before reaching the Lin family home, Yezhi ran into Zhao Yueying at the alley entrance. The two exchanged glances. "Oh~ can't make it in the countryside anymore? Came back to the city?"
Yezhi smiled coldly and replied, "None of your business!"
Zhao Yueying let out a sharp laugh, "Do you still have any shame? With Comrade Lin having such good conditions, how could he possibly be interested in a village girl like you!"
Yezhi raised an eyebrow, "What business is it of yours!"
"You...! A worthless flirt, what are you so proud of?" Yezhi crossed her arms, unable to understand why Zhao Yueying was so hostile towards her. Friends had mentioned that she could come off as cold and proud when she didn't speak in front of strangers, but once familiar, she was quite the social butterfly. Now, she greeted everyone with a smile, yet her popularity seemed worse than before!
"Do you know? The daughter of the Sun Family at the street corner is beautiful, a college student, and she's also the niece of Comrade Xiao Lin's superior. Those two are currently dating!" Zhao Yueying announced excitedly.
Nima! She had only been gone for a few days, and there was already news. What on earth was Xiaobinzi doing at home?
"What are you standing there for!" Lin Haitao suddenly braked his bicycle beside Yezhi.
Seeing Lin Haitao, Yezhi squinted her eyes and looked him up and down. He was incredibly handsome and stylish, and being a uniformed officer made it hard not to attract attention!
Lin Haitao was puzzled by Yezhi's actions when suddenly two soft lips pressed against his face. His heart raced wildly as if it had broken free from its reins, and he instinctively raised his hands to push her away.
The unexpected kiss from Yezhi not only shocked Zhao Yueying, but also caused passersby to stop in their tracks. Zhao Yueying pointed at her and shouted sharply, "Shameless!"
Yezhi felt a surge of anger; how was this shameless? It was a declaration of ownership to prevent an ignorant girl from getting her heart broken—a great deed! Besides, she had to protect her man from the misguided affections of other women. However, she was displeased with Xiaobinzi's attempt to push her away! After all, he had already confessed his feelings; what was there to be shy about!
