Smart greenhouse

"President Chen, pineapple, mango, and dragon fruit are all tropical fruits with very high temperature requirements. Planting them here in the north, let alone expecting them to flower and bear fruit, I'm afraid even the saplings won't survive."

Upon hearing President Chen's words, Qin Hong hurriedly explained.

"I know that those southern fruits definitely won't survive if planted directly here in the north, but what if they were planted in an Intelligent Greenhouse?"

"An Intelligent Greenhouse can completely simulate the environment required by each crop."

Chen Mo looked at Qin Hong. Planting those fruits was not his goal; building the Intelligent Greenhouse was his ultimate objective.

Planting itself wouldn't consume much in terms of funds, but building an Intelligent Greenhouse was different; it required a massive amount of funds to construct.

Intelligent Greenhouse!

Upon hearing President Chen's words, Qin Hong was completely stunned.

"What's wrong? Is it not possible to use an Intelligent Greenhouse for planting?"

Seeing Qin Hong stunned, Chen Mo asked further.

"It's not that, President Chen."

Qin Hong hurriedly shook his head upon hearing this.

"Building an Intelligent Greenhouse can indeed allow for the planting of southern crops, but the cost of building an Intelligent Greenhouse is extremely high. It requires a massive capital investment, and even if the crops are successfully grown, it often takes a very long time to recoup the invested funds."

"Furthermore, during the planting process, some problems may occasionally arise, and in serious cases, it could lead to the failure to bear fruit."

Listening to Qin Hong's words, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile.

High investment, low return, and the cost of potential errors.

Isn't this exactly what he needs?

It seems he has found another good way to lose money.

"It doesn't matter. The Group will provide the funds. As for the planting issues, those are technical problems, and as long as they are technical problems, there will be a way to solve them."

"The project is settled here. You will prepare a detailed report and budget. As for the construction area of the Intelligent Greenhouse, it will be 400 mu."

Chen Mo finalized the matter of the Intelligent Greenhouse directly. He hadn't expected that he would inadvertently discover another path to lose money, so naturally, he had to execute it immediately.

As for the 400 mu area of the Intelligent Greenhouse, it was the maximum area he had just obtained by testing the system.

"President Chen, an Intelligent Greenhouse of 400 mu will consume a non-trivial amount of funds."

Qin Hong reminded him.

"It doesn't matter, just go ahead and do it."

Chen Mo waved his hand indifferently, then got up and walked out of the office.

Seeing this, Qin Hong and Wang Siyu hurriedly followed.

"No need to see me off, I'll drive back myself."

…

Back home, just as he opened the door, he saw his mother sitting in the living Room. Seeing him open the door and enter, she stood up and walked over to greet him.

"Chen Mo, the house has already been bought, shouldn't you meet the girl now?"

"Alright, then I'll set a time with the girl in the next two days."

Chen Mo nodded. He planned to contact the girl in advance to tell her about his current lack of desire to be in a relationship, so as not to waste her time.

"No need for you to set it up. I've already contacted the girl's parents, and the girl has agreed. You can meet tomorrow at 6:00 PM. The girl's family is in Jinyang City, so you need to make a trip to Jinyang City tomorrow. You can also catch a movie in the evening."

His mother said.

Chen Mo nodded helplessly upon hearing this. He had originally wanted to speak with the girl beforehand to avoid the upcoming blind date.

Now it seemed there was no way around it.

"Then dress a bit better tomorrow. Don't wear this tracksuit all day. Didn't you bring any other clothes when you came back?"

His mother said, worrying and pressing the issue.

"I think this tracksuit is quite good, casual."

Chen Mo looked at his clothes and didn't feel there was any problem.

"What do you mean 'good'? Do you dress like this when you go to work?"

"Yes!"

"That won't do either. Let me see what other clothes you have in your Room. For a blind date, you must dress properly for me. I saw that last time you went on a blind date with Old Wang's daughter, you dressed too casually."

Muttering, his mother walked into the Room and opened the wardrobe to see what clothes were inside.

Her gaze quickly caught sight of a suit.

"Don't you have a suit here? This is so formal; you should wear this tomorrow."

Chen Mo looked at the suit his mother took out and sighed.

That suit had been in his suitcase ever since he returned from attending a banquet in Kyoto. When packing his luggage to come home for the New Year, he was too lazy to take it out; he had just tossed in a few sets of spare clothes, closed the suitcase, and brought it all back.

Unexpectedly, his mother had taken a liking to that suit immediately.

Truth be told, his mother's taste was actually quite good; this suit could be considered the most expensive one in the wardrobe.

This set had cost 200,000, and of course, it was paid for using System Funds, so he didn't feel even a bit of heartache.

"Try it on, let me see how it looks."

His mother took the suit out and handed it to Chen Mo.

"No need to try it on, this suit fits very well."

"Try it on, let me see. If it doesn't work, there's still time now to go to the mall and buy another one."

"Alright."

Chen Mo nodded helplessly.

A while later, he had the suit on.

His mother opened the door and walked in, took a serious look, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This suit is the one. It fits very well. Wearing this is much better than that ragged tracksuit of yours."

It was custom-made, of course it fits.

Chen Mo muttered to himself.

…

The next day, in the afternoon, under his mother's gaze, Chen Mo left home wearing the suit.

He went downstairs and got into his car. He was currently in Beiming County, also known as Beiming City, which was a county-level city.

And Jinyang City was the prefecture-level city above Beiming City.

It would take him about half an hour to drive from home to Jinyang City.

5:50. Chen Mo parked his vehicle in a restaurant parking lot and then walked into the restaurant.

The seat had been reserved in advance, and the agreed time was 6:00.

Arriving 10 minutes early could be considered punctual.

He arrived at the restaurant, found a seat, explained the situation to the restaurant waiter, and then waited quietly.

A while later, Chen Mo checked the time and found it was already 6:00.

But the agreed-upon girl had not arrived yet. Was she late?

Chen Mo frowned slightly and prepared to get up and leave, but thinking that if his mother found out he had left without even meeting the person, she would probably nag him endlessly.

After thinking about it, he continued sitting in his seat.

At around 6:10, a woman pushed open the restaurant door and walked in.

The woman was wearing an elongated, fleece-lined trench coat. As she walked, the hem of the trench coat opened, revealing her shapely calves.

Her looks were above average, but her makeup was a bit too heavy, and overall, she lacked a certain temperament.

However, at Mingri Group, he had seen no shortage of high-looker beauties; closer to him were Shen Rou, Tang Qiu, and so on.

Further away, the Group's receptionists, as the face of the Group, also had very high looks. There were also other female employees whose looks and temperament were no less than the woman in front of him.

Therefore, the woman in front of him did not stir any waves in him.
