Medical Discovery

Dahe Town Square,

Wang Xilong watched the commercial vehicle leave, and just as he was about to make a move, he was instantly surrounded by a crowd of fruit farmers.

"I want to sign up!"

"Wang Xilong, count me in."

"Don't leave me out!"

"……."

Wang Xilong looked at the people surrounding him and quickly said,

"Everyone, don't worry, one by one."

After a while,

The crowd in the square gradually thinned out, leaving only a few scattered people.

"Alright, everyone has registered. You all can go back now. Remember to gather at the orchard before eight tomorrow morning."

Wang Xilong finished registering the last few fruit farmers' information and waved his hand, then walked towards his home with Wang Siyu.

"How about it, daughter? I told you they weren't scammers."

On the way,

Wang Xilong said excitedly; today's events were completely beyond his expectations.

He had thought it was just organizing fruit farmers, but he didn't expect to get a team leader position, and the salary could reach over ten thousand per month.

This was something he hadn't thought of before; it was already an unexpected gain.

"En!"

Wang Siyu nodded absently. She still couldn't understand why Mr. Qin wanted to lease those orchards.

No matter how she looked at it, that orchard had no advantages whatsoever.

Wang Xilong walked beside his daughter, looking at her absent-minded appearance, and suddenly remembered the conversation between his daughter and Boss Chen today; they clearly knew each other.

Thinking of this, he showed a thoughtful expression.

"Daughter, you know that Boss Chen?"

"En, I've met him once."

Wang Siyu came back to her senses and said lightly.

"When?"

Wang Xilong's gaze became more curious. He had a good impression of Boss Chen; his age seemed to be similar to his daughter's.

He couldn't help but have some thoughts.

"Just yesterday, he was the blind date you arranged for me."

Wang Siyu turned to look at her father, then quickly walked forward.

"Ah, that Boss Chen was your blind date from yesterday?"

Wang Xilong quickly followed, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Yes."

"I think that Boss Chen has a good personality. Why couldn't you two get along?"

"We just couldn't get along; it has nothing to do with personality."

Wang Siyu's mood was inexplicably irritable, and her steps quickened a bit.

………………

Evening!

Beichuan City,

Inside a hotel.

Qin Hong came out of the bathroom after taking a Shower, sat casually on the edge of the bed, his eyes still deep in thought.

After returning from Dahe Town, Boss Chen arranged for him to stay in the best hotel in Beichuan City.

And all along the way, he had been thinking about how to improve the Black Bitter Fruit Tree.

Even while taking a Shower, he was in a state of contemplation.

However, so far, he hadn't come up with a suitable plan.

Improving crops was not a simple matter.

He was confident that he could improve the Black Bitter Fruit Tree, but he needed time.

Perhaps three years, perhaps five years, or even ten years……

And the Black Bitter Fruit Tree would start bearing fruit after two years, so his time was clearly insufficient.

Alas!

After thinking for a moment,

Qin Hong sighed helplessly, then took out his phone, found Professor Yuan's number, and dialed it.

He couldn't think of a good method for now, so he could only ask his teacher for advice.

Soon, the call connected.

"What's the matter, Xiao Qin?"

Yuan Chenghua's voice came from the phone.

"Teacher, thank you for your recommendation. I have successfully joined Boss Chen's group. I'm truly grateful."

Qin Hong quickly expressed his thanks; he was very grateful to Professor Yuan.

Whether during his school days or after graduation, Professor Yuan's help to him was immense.

"Thank me for what? Your agricultural knowledge is good; I just didn't want it to be wasted. Tell me, is there anything else? You wouldn't just call me to thank me, would you?"

A hearty laugh came from the phone.

"Teacher is wise. It's like this: at Boss Chen's request, I've leased an orchard. However, the fruit saplings chosen are Black Bitter Fruit Trees. Teacher, you know the Black Bitter Fruit Tree; its taste isn't very good."

"When the fruit trees bear fruit in two years, it will be difficult to sell them. If the fruit can't be sold, I'm afraid the current agricultural base will be difficult to maintain. So I'm thinking, can we find a way to improve it, and the time limit needs to be within two years?"

Qin Hong quickly stated his thoughts. He knew his teacher's personality well and there was no need to beat around the bush.

On the other end of the phone,

Yuan Chenghua listened to Qin Hong's words, his brows slightly furrowed. Improving a fruit tree variety within two years was an extremely difficult task, and the success rate could be said to be negligible.

One must know that to successfully improve a variety, it requires countless experiments, countless failures, plus a certain amount of luck.

Only by constantly trying and accumulating is success possible.

There was simply no shortcut to take.

"Qin Hong, improving varieties is not something that can be achieved overnight. Two years is probably not enough. Also, your current mindset is not very good. Scientific research requires rigor, and your anxious mindset can easily lead to mistakes."

"I understand, Teacher. I was too anxious."

Qin Hong lowered his head; he also realized he was too anxious.

But the crisis was right in front of him. If he didn't resolve the Black Bitter Fruit Tree issue, the agricultural base might not last long.

He had already experienced one failed venture and didn't want to experience a second.

"I understand your feelings, but I recently heard some news from the Medical College about that Black Bitter Fruit Tree. It seems there's a significant discovery, which might be helpful to you. I'll go find out. Please wait a moment."

Yuan Chenghua's voice came again, and then the phone was directly hung up.

Qin Hong put his phone down on the bed and waited quietly. He knew his teacher must have gone to find out the situation.

About twenty minutes later,

The phone on the bed rang. Qin Hong glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered the call.

Before he could speak, his teacher's voice had already come through.

"I've found out clearly. Perhaps your Black Bitter Fruit Tree doesn't need to be improved after all."

"Teacher, was there some discovery?"

Qin Hong listened to his teacher's words, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

For his teacher to say such words, there must have been a solution.

"That's right. Just now, I spoke with a professor from the Medical College. He's been researching the black bitter fruit seeds and finally discovered a component in the black bitter fruit seeds that can be used in many medicines."

"However, although the component has been discovered, there is still the problem of extraction. But the Medical College has already made this a research topic and begun to tackle it."

"Once a suitable extraction method is found, then the fruits from the Black Bitter Fruit Trees you planted will no longer have to worry about sales, and the price will definitely not be cheap."

Yuan Chenghua's tone was somewhat emotional.

He became more and more curious about Boss Chen, whom he had never met. He even suspected now that Boss Chen also knew this news, which was why he planted the Black Bitter Fruit Tree.

Otherwise, why would he be so determined to plant a fruit tree with no market?
