Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 562 The Disappearing Seed

Looking at the straight ridge, Liu Mingzhao was dumbfounded, and couldn't help whispering to Wu Zihao: "Zhao Lei...isn't he a robot?"

Wu Zihao also looked surprised and said: "I only know that he is good at fighting, but I didn't expect him to be so good at work!"

Mr. Liu looked at the two of them with disdain and said, "You are ashamed to say that you are all young people. Look at Xiao Zhao's work so well! As for you, you don't work hard, and you don't know the five grains. It's really embarrassing!"

Liu Mingzhao didn't dare to talk back to his grandfather, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "You're right, I'm going to start exercising tomorrow, starting with running!"

Wu Zihao also said: "I have already started swimming, but I just started exercising, so the effect is not obvious."

Hearing Mr. Liu praise Zhao Lei, Li Qian also felt very proud.Seeing Zhao Lei came back with a hoe on his shoulder, the girl hurriedly took a bottle to meet him and said, "Brother Zhao Lei, drink water!"

"En!" Zhao Lei smiled at Li Qian, took a few sips of water.

For Zhao Lei today, such a little amount of exercise is nothing at all.As long as he is willing, he can turn Mr. Liu's garden into a vegetable patch before lunch.But that would be a bit sensational, so Zhao Lei thinks it's better to keep a low profile.

But even so, Zhao Lei's performance was enough to surprise others. The old man praised him with a smile: "Although he became a boss, he still did a good job in farm work. He didn't forget his roots, which is very good!"

Zhao Lei just smiled modestly and said, "You are flattering me. Such a little farm work is not a big deal. Now the land has been reclaimed. In the future, you can turn this place into a vegetable field as long as you ask Mingzhao for some seeds."

"Did you hear that?" The old man glanced at Liu Mingzhao and said, "You know what vegetables I like to eat, so send me some seeds later!"

Zhao Lei brought Li Qian to meet Mr. Liu this time. Although it took some effort, the rewards were very good.Mr. Liu said in person that he would protect Li Qian, which already satisfied Zhao Lei.

Since Mr. Liu is so up-to-date, Zhao Lei also reciprocated and said that he would come here often to recuperate the old man's body and ensure his health.

For Mr. Liu, this is of course good news, and he immediately agreed with a smile on his face.

It didn't take long for Zhao Lei and Li Qian to say goodbye to the old man. After enjoying the two-person world with the girl for a long time, Zhao Lei sent Li Qian back to school.

Zhao Lei bid farewell to the girl at the school gate and promised to come and see her as soon as possible, which made Li Qian turn her worries into joy and walked briskly back to school.

Seeing the girl's slender figure disappear into the campus, Zhao Lei turned and left. However, he hadn't walked a few steps before he received a call from Yingzi.

The Japanese girl's voice has always been so polite, and she said politely as soon as the phone was connected: "Mr. Zhao Lei, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time and prevent you from resting."

"It's okay, it's actually not too late, I didn't go to bed so early." Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you haven't contacted me for a while, I thought you forgot about me!"

Yingzi hurriedly explained: "I really don't dare to disturb you too much, so..."

"I'm joking with you, don't be nervous." Zhao Lei hurriedly comforted Yingzi, and then asked with a smile, "What can you do with me?"

Yingzi whispered: "It's like this. The first few batches of Xianhu brand vegetables were very popular after they were launched, so the company wants to expand the planting scale. The president wants me to communicate with you to see if we can buy more vegetables seed."

For Zhao Lei, this is of course good news.Anyway, these vegetable seeds are all bought at the agricultural technology station. As long as they are treated with purple gold gourds, the price can increase dozens or even hundreds of times. Of course, the more such good things, the better.

But even so, Zhao Lei still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "The breeding of fairy gourd vegetables is very complicated, and the current yield of vegetable seeds is not high, so your request may be... a bit difficult."

Yingzi quickly said: "Of course we know, the president has already said that as long as you can provide more vegetables, he is also willing to increase the purchase price."

This is of course a good thing for Zhao Lei, so he nodded pretendingly and said: "Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will find a way to provide you with more vegetables."

"Great, thank you!" Yingzi thanked Zhao Lei happily, and then said to Zhao Lei: "If it's convenient for you, please come to Japan and discuss the revision of the cooperation agreement with our president face to face."

Zhao Lei thought for a while, half a month before Shen Hanqing's child's [-]-day banquet, other than that, there was nothing serious, so he simply accepted Yingzi's invitation.

"Ah, it's great that you are willing to come to Japan. I will tell Mr. Sato the good news tomorrow morning!" Yingzi was very happy to see Zhao Lei again, and even her tone became much lighter.

However, the Japanese girl quickly thought of an important matter, she quickly lowered her voice and said to Zhao Lei, "But...do you still remember what I said about suspecting that some vegetable seeds were missing?"

Zhao Lei said in a deep voice: "Of course I remember, I asked you to pay attention to it. Is there any result?"

"I investigated for a long time, and found that some seeds were indeed missing." Yingzi told Zhao Lei in a low voice: "It disappeared in the company's seed warehouse, but there is no record, as if... disappeared out of thin air."

After hearing what the Japanese girl said, Zhao Lei couldn't help showing a sneer.Vegetable seeds certainly don't just disappear, and the most likely explanation is that someone secretly used these seeds to breed fairy gourd vegetables.If this plan is successful, not only will it not be necessary to continue to purchase seeds from Zhao Lei, but it will also be able to replace Xianhu Company and occupy the global high-end vegetable market!

Moreover, Zhao Lei can be sure that this matter must have been tacitly approved by the top management of Wada Co., Ltd., and even promoted by the president Wada Nobuo himself.Only in this way can the disappearance of the seeds be covered up.If the careful Yingzi hadn't discovered the problem, Zhao Lei would still be kept in the dark.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei whispered to Yingzi: "Thank you for telling me, this is very important to me. If possible, you can continue to help me find out where these disappeared seeds went."

Yingzi agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will continue to investigate and tell you as soon as I have any news."

"Very good." Zhao Lei nodded with satisfaction, and then reminded the Japanese girl: "But you must pay attention to safety when checking, and don't be discovered by others. The whereabouts of these seeds is important, but it is definitely not as important as your safety."

Although in Zhao Lei's opinion, this was just a very common sentence, but it immediately brought tears to Yingzi's eyes.
