The county government paid great attention to the arrival of the expert team.
Taiping Town was the only entrance to the highway in Jing County. It was the only way to get from Sha City to Jing County.
The expert team was just passing by, but the town government had already mobilized.
Early in the morning, both sides of the highway where Taiping Town was located were filled with people. They were students from various schools, government workers, and village committee members.
All in all, everyone who could be mobilized was on the field.
They stood on both sides of the road with banners and pennants. It was as lively as it could get.
The sun was not small today. So many people were standing under the sun, but no one left.
Even the leaders of the town government did the same.
"Why aren't they here yet? Let's call and ask."
A bald middle-aged man wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Secretary Song, we've passed the toll station. We'll be here soon."
A young man next to him said quickly.
"Quick, everyone, stand up straight. We must use the warmest atmosphere to welcome the arrival of the expert team."
Secretary Song hurriedly shouted.
Instantly, the people on both sides of the road stood neatly.
After a few minutes, a motorcade finally arrived.
To welcome the expert team, the highway from the toll station to the county was under traffic control.
There were more than a dozen cars, led by two guided vehicles from the county government. The people sitting in the guided vehicles were the county government leaders.
The expert team was sitting in the luxury bus in the middle.
The other cars were either filled with security personnel from Yang City or even the province, as well as reporters from the media.
The motorcade slowed down when it arrived.
In one of the guided vehicles, a middle-aged man with a square face looked at the welcoming crowd on both sides of the road. He shook his head and laughed. "Song Baisheng really doesn't know how to do things unless he makes a name for himself."
That was County Magistrate Zhu Changqing.
"If the old Secretary sees him like this, he'll definitely give him a good scolding."
The man sitting next to him laughed.
He was Kim Byung-chiu, the Executive Deputy County Magistrate.
Many people thought it was because of him that the expert team was here this time.
Now, the King County Commissioners were regarded as the county's hero.
While they were talking, the luxury bus behind them suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?"
When Zhu Changqing saw the car behind stop, he quickly asked the driver to stop.
Kim Byung-chiu also quickly got out of the car.
The people of Taiping Town were surprised to see the carriages stop.
"Secretary Song, the convoy has stopped. The luxury bus of the expert group stopped first."
Someone among the town officials exclaimed.
"Quick, let's go up. Maybe we can let the expert team stay in our town for a while or even inspect the town."
Song Baisheng's fleshy face revealed a look of ecstasy. He hurriedly ran over, his big belly moving up and down as he ran.
As for whether or not he would steal the county's prize, that was nonsense. They were all from the same county, so how could it be considered stealing the prize?
At this time, Zhu Changqing and Kim Byung-chiu also understood why the luxury bus had suddenly stopped.
They were stunned.
This was because … the expert team was going to stay in this beautiful Taiping Town for a good inspection.
The two county heads, Zhu Changqing and Kim Byung-chiu, were cursing in their hearts.
What was there to inspect in this shabby town? Good wine and meat were waiting for you in the county.
But now, these arrogant people were going to stay here and not leave.
Well, they had to admit that the expert team was indeed arrogant.
They couldn't beat or scold them, but they had to greet them with a smile. Otherwise, if they offended them, they would turn around and leave.
They had no choice but to force them to go to the county now.
At this time, Song Baisheng ran over happily.
"Zhu County Magistrate, King County Commissioners, you are here. Do you want the expert team to stay in Taiping Town? I will go and make the arrangements now."
Song Baisheng was sweating from running, but his face was glowing.
He was excited!
If the expert team stayed in town for a while and even inspected the town, it would be a great political achievement.
Maybe he could take this opportunity to go one step further.
Zhu County Magistrate and King County Commissioners couldn't wait to kick Song Baisheng to death.
If it wasn't for this guy, the experts wouldn't have suddenly stopped here.
The expert team didn't have this idea before.
Whether it was because of Song Baisheng's extravagance or not, the two county heads believed that Song Baisheng was responsible for this.
Song Baisheng didn't seem to see the two county heads' unhappy eyes. He looked at them obediently, waiting for instructions.
"Go and make the arrangements. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible."
No matter how unhappy Zhu County Magistrate was, he had no other choice.
"I promise to complete the task."
Song Baisheng said firmly.
After that, he went to make the arrangements.
The news of the expert team staying in Taiping Town and inspecting the town spread like a gust of wind in the whole Jing County.
When the other towns heard about it, they all stomped their feet in anger. Taiping Town had gotten such a good opportunity.
The rest of the leaders in the county were waiting for the expert team to arrive. When they found out that Taiping Town had stopped the expert team, they were so angry that they wanted to go to Taiping Town and take the expert team back.
Of course, this was impossible.
Taiping Town was under the jurisdiction of Jing County after all.
The rest of the leaders hurried to Taiping Town as fast as they could.
For a moment, the arrival of the expert team caused chaos in Taiping Town. Oh, no, it should be jubilant, as if it was the New Year.
Countless reputable people rushed over from all over the county. It was as if it was a great honor to be able to catch a glimpse of the experts.
.....
When the expert team arrived in Taiping Town, Ye Xiaochen was delivering vegetables to Yang Market.
After that, he went to Wang Shuisheng's house.
Wang Shuisheng was at home.
Wang Yuandong was there too.
"Xiaochen is here."
Wang Shuisheng even changed the way he addressed Ye Xiaochen. He used to call him Brother Ye, but now he seemed to be closer to him.
Without a doubt, he regarded Ye Xiaochen as one of his family members.
"Wang Ge, sister-in-law."
Ye Xiaochen greeted Wang Shuisheng and Chu Qingqing.
Xibao had already climbed onto his lap and called him Uncle Ye.
She seemed to be very close to him.
Wang Yuandong looked at them and felt uncomfortable. He felt that he was a generation younger than Ye Xiaochen.
"Third Uncle, my supervisor said that he would accept Academician Yang's invitation to go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in a few days. At that time, I will have a chance to go and get a better learning environment."
Wang Yuandong said all of a sudden.
When he spoke, he glanced at Ye Xiaochen from the corner of his eye, with a smug smile on his face.
The Academy of Agricultural Sciences could be called the top agricultural research institution in the country.
There were countless talents in this field who aimed to enter the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If it weren't for the treatment of Fuso wood, it would have been difficult for his supervisor to establish a relationship with Academician Yang, and he wouldn't have had this opportunity.
He didn't know that it was Ye Xiaochen who cured Fuso wood, not some mysterious expert as rumored. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.
Ye Xiaochen just smiled and didn't say anything about Wang Yuandong's deliberate showing off.
Wang Shuisheng was very satisfied. He nodded and said, "Well, very good. Yuandong, work hard. Such an opportunity is too rare."
For their Wang family, they didn't lack money at all. The only thing they lacked was fame in some professional fields.
Once the Wang family could produce a famous agricultural expert or botanist, this would be the capital, and the Wang family's foundation would be even stronger.
Hearing his uncle's praise, Wang Yuandong became even prouder. He looked at Ye Xiaochen with provocation in his eyes.
Curing a white wax plant and solving the problem of broccoli seeds?
So what? After all, he was just a small farm owner. In the end, he would stay in the countryside and live an ordinary life.
As for him, he would have a brighter future and a broader stage in the future.
