Chapter 1113: Chapter 584: Should This Sugar-Coating Be Eaten?

The name Leng Ru Bing sounds like a female lead from one of those youth idol novels or TV dramas from twenty years ago.

Considering the girl’s age, Sean Knight could guess that her parents were also the type to follow the trends.

"The three of them are respectively in charge of the planting, scale, and manpower organization of our large farm. At the moment, we are also planning to recruit talent for the organization and transportation of the harvest."

After Lincoln Harrington’s introduction, the three people took the initiative to greet Sean Knight and shake hands.

Sean Knight, laughing, said:

"You are all experts, and from now on, the work on the farm will be entrusted to you. I hope you don’t let down the trust we, a bunch of rough folks, have placed in you."

Professor Nelson from Xinjiang had not left; he and his students were busy in the farmland. However, they were mainly responsible for technical issues, so Sean Knight added:

"If there are any technical issues, we will follow Professor Nelson’s lead."

Then Sean Knight stopped talking.

Lincoln Harrington said,

"Then you all go ahead with your own tasks. Later, write a summary of the work you’ve done during this period and submit it here."

When the three people left, Sean Knight clearly saw a hint of disappointment flash across Leng Ru Bing’s face.

After the three left, Sean Knight asked Lincoln Harrington:

"How were these three recruited?"

"Wendell Martin and Henry Burke signed up through our domestic recruitment points," Lincoln explained. "After you and Captain Hastings left, we felt the need for professional personnel to manage during the land acquisition process. Our army’s management methods weren’t quite suitable, so we sent a message to the domestic offices.

They posted the recruitment information, screened the applicants, and then sent these two over.

As for Leng Ru Bing, she came to us on her own. At that time, Douglas and I interviewed her and discovered that she truly had the capability in management, so we kept her."

Lincoln Harrington knew that Sean Knight wouldn’t ask without a reason and, after explaining, he said:

"Boss, is there a problem with these three people? If there is, they are currently on their probationary period, and we can dismiss them at any time."

"Wendell Martin and Henry Burke are fine, but this Leng Ru Bing—her timing is a bit too coincidental. I can feel that her intentions are not simple."

Elijah Hastings, laughing on the side, said:

"Don’t tell me she’s here to deliver a sugar-coated bullet? That’s simple! Eat the sugar coating and send the bullet back. Boss, with your experience, such trivial matters shouldn’t be a concern, right?"

"Get out of here, she’s your problem then. You go and eat her sugar coating," Sean Knight slapped Elijah Hastings lightly, "This level of sugar coating is probably not so easy to peel off!"

"I’ll pass!" Elijah Hastings quickly waved his hands, "I don’t have the ability to see through people’s hearts. Boss, you’re the one for this sort of thing!"

Lincoln Harrington, more direct, said:

"If she has ulterior motives, she’ll definitely slip up. These next few days let’s pay close attention. As soon as she makes a mistake, the rest will be easy."

"You’re such a killjoy," Elijah Hastings said to Lincoln, "By the time you act on it, the person will be pretty much destroyed."

"Being merciful to an enemy is cruelty to oneself," Lincoln said matter-of-factly, "If you want to talk about kindness and righteousness, you might as well become Duke Xiang of Song!"

"If we were in the Spring and Autumn period now, I might really want to try that!" Elijah replied with a smile.

"Alright, enough with that," Sean Knight waved his hand, "We just need to keep a closer eye. The focus now is still on the farm issues. This is the first time we are managing such a large farm, so we must not have any problems with the planting."

"That’s right, the operation is too large to manage..." Lincoln started frowning as he got into the serious matters, "Practically every day, there are various problems with each plot of farmland.

Professor Nelson and his team are like firefighters now. I used to think farming was a straightforward task, but now I realize that on a large-scale farm, tens of millions of acres of farmland, a small oversight can have a significant loss and impact!"

"That’s why our country’s No. 1 Document each year is about agriculture," Sean Knight, coming from a farming family, understood this best:

"It is only with a stable agriculture and satisfied farmers that the country can have a solid foundation and be prepared for any major events. Think about how recently our common people have had enough to eat?"

"Plant diseases and insect pests, natural disasters, insufficient water and fertility... The farming experience of the local people here is basically ancestral, and the yield per acre was not high when they farmed on their own. It was good to let them work for us and have them listen to us, otherwise some of them would seriously have walked out, they can be so stubborn!"

"Normal." Sean Knight chuckled, "If someone told me twenty years ago that cotton yields could reach 500 kilograms per acre, I would definitely say they were bluffing. And yet, isn’t that what we’ve achieved? Perspective is so important. Alright, enough of that, get in touch with Douglas and see how things are going over there, whether we need reinforcements.

This time I brought a hundred team members, we’ll train them for two days and then distribute them."

"Didn’t you say we needed three hundred people here before? Why only a hundred?" Lincoln Harrington asked, puzzled.

"A composite brigade is being established in the Middle East, our people. Most of the members who completed the training from the main army were pulled over there," Elijah Hastings explained, his face gleaming with envy, "A heavy combined brigade!"
