154: Chapter 153: University?
The woman, wearing a cinched suit, showcased her slim legs and rounded hips perfectly in her well-tailored trousers.
Her narrow waist appeared as though one could wrap a hand around it.
What captured everyone’s attention was how her figure, seemingly flat at the waist, suddenly punched out above it, the bulge prompting flights of fancy, especially when the dignified white shirt hinted at the black lace beneath, making everyone curious to see more.
As the woman was speaking, Manager Lin approached with a basket of fruit, smiling and saying, “Director Hu, these are the fruits from our orchard.”
Director Hu was momentarily stunned.
She hadn’t expected much from the trees, but the fruits, each as beautiful and tender as a newborn baby, even seemed to pulse with vibrant life force!
She had never encountered such a thing in all her years.
“Director Hu!
This, this, this!
Are these really grown in your orchard?!
My God!
Incredible!
Absolutely incredible!” exclaimed the tall, thin Professor Liu, who looked like a bamboo pole.
He couldn’t contain himself and grabbed an apple from the basket.
Holding the apple, Professor Liu, overwhelmed with excitement, nearly teared up.
With his dry hands, he tenderly caressed the delicate apple skin, shaking like a patient in the late stages of Parkinson’s disease, unable to utter a word.
Following Professor Liu’s lead, experts Xu, Professor Wang, and Professor Luo gathered around, each picking a fruit and admiring them as if they were assessing rare antiques, offering praises and sighs.
Director Hu felt a mix of surprise, delight, and astonishment, never having expected her investment to pay off so quickly, nor that these fruits would instantly captivate these notoriously critical experts and professors.
“Hold on!” exclaimed Professor Luo, an expert in soil organic biology, cradling a pear so lustrous it almost rivaled a crystal, “Something’s off!
This orchard’s soil clearly lacks organic nutrients and moisture.
How could it possibly produce such high-quality Crystal Pears?”
Professor Luo’s words ignited a ferocious debate, like a fuse setting off gunpowder.
One after another, the experts and professors critiqued from their respective specializations.
Despite their age, these old men were as sharp and acerbic as a dozen Cai Yans.
In the end, the consensus was that such splendid fruits couldn’t possibly grow in this orchard.
Director Hu’s pretty face suddenly frosted over, her heart filled with utter dissatisfaction.
She hoped the fruits were truly from her orchard and expected Manager Lin to provide a reasonable explanation.
She then addressed him, “Manager Lin, do you have something to say?”
Manager Lin, a college-educated man aware of the experts’ cunning, was considering how to fabricate a lie when Chen Sa suddenly blurted out, “Director Hu!
Esteemed experts and professors!
The fruits you’re holding are from another field, not this one.”
“Yes, yes, exactly what Chen Sa said!
Not from this field, but from…
from another one!
It’s from another field, Director Hu,” Manager Lin quickly tried to smooth things over, knowing how hard these old foxes were to fool.
Thinking quickly, he suggested, “How about we all head to the lounge to enjoy these fruits?”
The experts and professors, initially ready to question further, dismissed their doubts at the prospect of tasting the exquisite fruits.
Although Director Hu was somewhat skeptical, she hoped for the best performance from her orchard investment and thus, chose to remain silent.
“Not very impressive!”
Just as everyone was heading towards the lounge, a commanding voice halted them.
They all turned around and saw an ordinary-dressed man with an imposing manner and striking looks who seemed like the White Dragon Horse taking human form, prompting a silent awe of encountering a true dragon among men.
Director Hu’s heart skipped a beat as if she had seen her long-awaited expectations in him, despite his possibly antagonistic approach.
Yet, she was eager to see what he would reveal.
Standing proudly with a cold smile, Liu Hun declared, “Who are you?
What are you talking about?
‘Not very impressive’?
Do you have any right to speak?” Manager Lin, facing him and feeling both angry and threatened, knew that getting exposed could mean losing his job or worse, landing in jail.
Liu Hun, with a cold laugh, pointed at the fruit basket in Chen Sa’s hand and said, “These are not your orchard’s fruits but from my Wanbao Village.
You have no right to boast or use them merely for show.
Put them all back!”
“Hey!
The audacity!
How can you claim these are not from our orchard?” Manager Lin retorted, truly unaware of who this man was.
“Yeah!
Young man, don’t just make wild statements for the sake of standing out.
This area is so vast, and there’s only one orchard around.
If not from this orchard, then where?” Professor Luo, gripping his apricot tightly, was genuinely worried about missing out on tasting it.
“Humph!” Liu Hun snorted coldly and channeled his Qi to his eyes, activating his x-ray vision!
In an instant, his eyes swept over every single detail of the orchard in just a few seconds.
After shutting off his dangerous x-ray vision, Liu Hun said with a cold smile hanging on his lips, “Now let me tell you why this orchard can’t possibly produce such fine fruit.
This hundred-acre orchard lacks effective, professional management, and it’s overgrown with weeds.
Except for the two acres right in front of us, the rest is barren.”
Pointing at a crystal pear, Liu Hun continued, “Take this pear for instance, the most basic requirement for the growth of crystal pears is high soil moisture content.
How can this soil meet those requirements?” He said, and with a flick of his toe, he kicked up the ground soil, which was as dry and nearly cracked as frozen tofu.
“What a joke!
We have the most advanced and top-notch irrigation system here!” Manager Lin argued forcefully.
“Slap!”
Liu Hun slapped Manager Lin across the face.
While everyone around was still in shock, he said, “Talking nonsense?
Let me help you clear your head!
This hundred-acre orchard does indeed have an irrigation system, but the water pump a hundred meters east is so rusty it’s falling apart.
The two water pumps three hundred meters to the west have rat nests in them.
Of the remaining twelve, only three are functioning.
Do you want me to tell you where they are?”
Manager Lin’s face turned red, then green, and then white as he was overwhelmed, his mind a blank, completely at a loss for words.
Chen Sa was completely stunned!
If Liu Hun had been dressed in ancient clothes, he definitely would have thought Liu Hun was the local land god of the orchard!
Otherwise, how could he know everything even better than him?!
“With such soil and such an irrigation system, do you think it’s possible to grow these kinds of pears?” Liu Hun asked the surrounding experts and professors with a serious expression, his look implying, “If you nod, you must be senile…in the advanced stages!”
Just when everyone was speechless, like stunned geese, the driver of the minibus suddenly popped out and said to Liu Hun, “Brother Guan, what are you doing here?
I thought you were asleep on the bus!
I saw you sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you up, but then I forgot about you when we passed the county town.
Look at my memory.
Just now, Chen Sa came to get the fruit basket, did you take the basket?”
This statement added further proof—if Liu Hun’s words could only prove that these fruits couldn’t be produced from this land, then the driver’s words solidified that these fruits were Liu Hun’s!
This was like a snowstorm in the dead of winter on top of it all, and Mr.
Hu’s face was so cold it almost frosted over.
He said sharply to Manager Lin, “Manager Lin, you are now fired!
Wait at home with your accomplice for the legal notice.”
“Mr.
Hu!
Mr.
Hu!
Give me another chance!
I’ve been slaving away for so many years, if not for merit, for hard work, if not for hard work, for fatigue, Mr.
Hu!” Manager Lin immediately knelt on the ground, desperately pleading while clinging to Mr.
Hu’s legs.
“Drag him and Chen Sa away!
Don’t embarrass us here!” Mr.
Hu said displeased to his entourage, who promptly dragged the two men away.
After Manager Lin and Chen Sa were dragged off, a slight smile appeared on Mr.
Hu’s face as he walked over to Liu Hun and said, “Hello, I am Hu Qingdie, the chairman of Hu Group.
If I offended you earlier, please forgive me.”
Indeed, a woman should smile to look good, just like a blooming flower—without it they hardly draw attention, Liu Hun thought silently to himself.
He then politely shook hands with Hu Qingdie and replied, “My name is Liu Hun, a farmer from Wanbao Village in Taiping Town.
I intended to hitch a ride to Anchang County but overslept.”
Seeing that he was just a farmer, Hu Qingdie’s interest piqued, especially when she looked at the extraordinary fruits.
The more she looked at Liu Hun, the more she felt a sense of familiarity.
Her own father had been an ordinary farmer who worked his way from the fields to the big city.
No wonder she had felt that way earlier; could her father have been similar?
Hu Qingdie looked at Liu Hun’s face, somewhat enchanted, as her father had died young, leaving behind only a blurred black-and-white photo and stories.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Professor Xu coughed loudly and stepped forward, holding a fresh, shiny orange and asked, “You…
are just an ordinary farmer?
Which university did you graduate from?”
Liu Hun released Hu Qingdie’s hand and confidently turned to face Professor Xu, saying, “I’m a farmer, but not an ordinary one!
As for university…
Earthquake University!”
“Earthquake?
Could it be some European university?” Expert Luo searched his memory for familiar school names but couldn’t find any that matched.
“No, no!
I have lectured at every prestigious university in Europe!
Could it be in South America?
Brazil’s agriculture is quite good, maybe it produced someone like him,” Professor Wang quickly added.
