This kind of aura and temperament did not affect Ye Xiaochen at all.
He was now considered an immortal cultivator, although he had not completed the Foundation Establishment.
In the private room.
The two of them sat down.
Ye Xiaochen was observing Lin Xiangting.
Lin Xiangting was also observing Ye Xiaochen.
She was very curious about Ye Xiaochen, the famous top botanist, who looked younger than she had imagined.
Even she could not help but take a few more glances at her unique temperament.
She was a strong-willed woman who had long passed the impulsive age of ordinary women. However, when she saw Ye Xiaochen now, she still saw her in a new light.
The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries.
Lin Xiangting finally explained her background.
The dishes were already served.
Ye Xiaochen picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly. Suddenly, he said, "Director Lin, I'm really sorry. You might not understand the reason. The Chinese Academy of Sciences did not intend to cooperate with the local government and directly set up a research laboratory at the headquarters. I rejected it because I miss my family and don't want to leave my hometown."
He rejected it without hesitation.
It was better than dragging it out.
Lin Xiangting did not show any disappointment on her face.
Only she knew what she was thinking.
"Mr. Ye, I actually understand your thoughts. I'm from Guang Province and have been working in other provinces. It's rare for me to go back once a year. Sometimes, I do feel quite helpless."
Lin Xiangting smiled slightly, fully displaying the charm of a mature woman.
Moreover, her voice was even more pleasant than when she was on the phone.
There was a unique charm in her words that was enough to make people unable to bear to reject her.
Ye Xiaochen did not interrupt and listened quietly.
"However, I have never regretted it because I feel that what I did was worthwhile. I supported a family and made their lives more comfortable. I also made myself shine and contribute to the people's livelihood …"
Lin Xiangting's tone changed. There was a very infectious power that was enough to impact anyone's heart.
However, Ye Xiaochen was not the kind of person who would be easily influenced.
He was very calm.
This woman was really good at talking. She was even good at hitting the softest spot of a person.
"Mr. Ye, your ability has destined you to be extraordinary in the future. It will not only affect your life, but also your family and even your clan. If you stay in the Southern Province or even your hometown to develop your career, you will definitely have to bear some things while you obtain glory. Sometimes, it will make things difficult for you. This is a test that every famous official has to go through. If you change your way of thinking and take another path, you will find that those difficulties will be easily solved …"
Lin Xiangting continued.
Ye Xiaochen was already in awe of her eloquence.
He had to admit that what Lin Xiangting said made sense.
Without the restriction of Farm Senda, he would definitely be willing to work elsewhere.
But now, he couldn't.
No matter what Lin Xiangting said, his expression remained the same.
Lin Xiangting did not expect Ye Xiaochen to be so shrewd at such a young age.
She couldn't find out anything about Ye Xiaochen.
Immediately, she decided to change her strategy and start from another angle.
"Mr. Ye, I heard that you have a sister who is in her third year of university in Sand City?"
Lin Xiangting suddenly smiled.
Ye Xiaochen narrowed his eyes. Was she trying to threaten him?
Lin Xiangting naturally knew that Ye Xiaochen had misunderstood. She could tell that Ye Xiaochen cared about his family.
"If Mr. Ye is willing, I can help your sister get into a martial arts university in the future. She can even get a job assignment and become a civil servant."
Lin Xiangting finally changed her strategy to move Ye Xiaochen.
She had done her research. Ye Xiaochen's sister, Ye Ying, had average grades. Although she went to Southern University, it was a branch of a second-tier university. It would be very difficult for her to get into a master's degree. As for getting into a prestigious martial arts university in the country, she could forget about it.
Ye Xiaochen sighed. This Lin Xiangting was really amazing.
If he had not made up his mind, he might have been moved.
If his sister could get into a prestigious martial arts university, her future would be bright.
Unfortunately …
"Director Lin, that's not what I meant. There are other reasons. I can only set up the research institute in Southern Province. I'm really sorry."
Ye Xiaochen quickly interrupted Lin Xiangting.
Lin Xiangting's face finally showed a hint of disappointment.
Although she had other strategies, Ye Xiaochen's attitude was very clear. This path would not work!
"It's okay. This is Mr. Ye's choice. I wish Mr. Ye great success in the future. I hope that we can work together in the future."
Lin Xiangting's face showed a bright smile, as if she was not affected.
Ye Xiaochen sighed. She was really an amazing woman. No wonder she could get to such a high position.
After dinner, Lin Xiangting said goodbye and left without any hesitation.
Of course, she paid the bill.
Ye Xiaochen had just returned to the farm from Xianquan Restaurant when his phone rang. It was Ceng Hongye, asking about Lin Xiangting, the director of the Northern Provincial Government's office, having dinner with him.
Ye Xiaochen was speechless. It had only been a short while, and Ceng Hongye already knew.
"Xiaochen, don't take it to heart. Your identity is sensitive now. We have to send people to keep an eye on you. But it won't affect you and your family's lives in any way."
Ceng Hongye thought that Ye Xiaochen had other ideas.
"It's okay."
Ye Xiaochen smiled.
He already knew that the government had sent people to protect him in secret.
It was not surprising. After the theft of the Purification Grass, no one could be sure that the mastermind would not target Ye Xiaochen.
With his current cultivation, although he had just started, he was already very sensitive.
Those people protecting him in secret were very powerful, but they could not hide from him.
"Xiaochen, the province is very concerned about the research institute. Although the internal competition is fierce, and everyone wants to set up research institutes in different places, this is an internal conflict. Once you meet another province, it will be an external conflict. The nature of the situation is different. You must be determined."
Ceng Hongye advised earnestly.
"Sister Ceng, I know. But the conditions offered by the Northern Province are too good. For example, a postgraduate recommendation for my sister to go to a martial arts university, and a civil service job, not to mention other things. I'm in a dilemma now!"
Ye Xiaochen's eyes turned, and he came up with a plan.
Although he could not go to the Northern Province, he should at least get some benefits.
"You little brat, you want to get benefits from me. I don't have the ability, but I can tell you. The higher-ups should have no problem with such a small request."
Ceng Hongye did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hehe, Sister Ceng, it's best if you get more benefits. It'd be better if it's Tsinghua or Peking."
Ye Xiaochen smiled.
"Forget it. Do you think it's so easy to get into Tsinghua or Peking? But I'll tell them.
Let's just worry about it, "Ceng Hongye said.
The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up.
Ye Xiaochen touched his chin, flipped through his contact list, and called his sister.
"Sister, how's your studies?"
Ye Xiaochen asked.
"It's okay," Ye Ying said.
"Don't tire yourself out.
"Don't tire yourself out. I'll send you some canned pickled vegetables. Remember, don't let others eat the immortal essence pickled vegetables. It's very expensive. "
Ye Xiaochen said.
It was not that he was stingy, but the pickled vegetables were immortal essence pickled vegetables!
They used immortal herbs that had lost their spirit.
Only family members could eat them. As for others, they could only eat some Xianquan pickled vegetables.
"Got it. I don't know why you're so stingy."
Ye Ying agreed.
She could not remember how many times her brother had reminded her. Now, she could only eat the immortal essence pickled vegetables in secret. Otherwise, if her roommates and classmates saw it, she could not refuse it.
