Sha City.
At the foot of Yuelu Mountain.
There was an elegant villa.
Those who came here were either rich or respectable.
Because there was a high-end club in the villa that only received rich and powerful people from the Southern Province.
Here, anyone you met could be an executive of a certain company or a leader of a certain department.
Crackle, crackle …
A burst of firecrackers came from a spacious courtyard.
At this moment, in the courtyard.
The pavilions and corridors were divided into sections. Exquisite and elegant tables were placed there, giving off an antique feel.
It was like a scene in an ancient costume movie where those rich families held a banquet.
The guests sitting there were all dressed in suits and leather shoes. They were accompanied by female companions in gowns.
Outside the courtyard, some people were very curious.
"Why are there people setting off firecrackers here?"
"You don't know, right? I heard that the third branch of Xianquan Restaurant is opening here."
"No way. I think I saw Director Li from the City Hall go in. Xianquan Restaurant is so powerful that they can even invite Director Li?"
"Hehe, this is nothing. I saw Governor Zhang's secretary just now."
Suddenly, people exclaimed.
The Governor's secretary was not ordinary. He represented the Governor and not himself. In other words, the Governor sent someone to attend the opening of Xianquan Restaurant.
Just how capable was he to be able to do that?
Yes, Xianquan Restaurant in Sha City was in this villa.
The reason why they chose to open near the end of the year was that most people were not busy at this time. They had finished what they needed to do and it was time for the holidays.
For the restaurant industry, this was the busiest time.
Xianquan Restaurant was going to use this time to promote.
Although Xianquan Restaurant was somewhat famous in the Southern Province, it was mainly concentrated in Yang City and a few other counties and cities.
Most of the people invited to the opening this time were related to Ye Xiaochen.
In addition to business, there were also people from the government. For example, the bosses of several large companies that cooperated with Yang City's Plant Consciousness Research Institute came.
They were giving face to Ye Xiaochen. Otherwise, they would not care about the opening of Xianquan Restaurant.
Ye Xiaochen was different. In a sense, she was their God of Wealth.
As for the people from the government, more people came. However, several leaders sent their secretaries. After all, they were special. It was better not to participate in this kind of occasion.
Although there were not as many people as in Yang City, the quality was much higher.
6 PM.
A few low-key cars drove into the parking lot.
There were special security guards who took the guests in the cars through another passage.
At this moment.
In a luxurious private room in Xianquan Restaurant in Sha City, there was a table of food and wine.
Ye Xiaochen and Wang Shuisheng was drinking with a few people.
These people all had extraordinary identities.
One of them was a big shot.
Zhang Sheng, Governor of Southern Province.
He was a middle-aged man who looked extremely energetic. Sitting there, he gave off the feeling of a dragon crouching and tiger crouching.
Another one was Shen Yipeng, the Secretary of Sha City.
The other three were the CEOs of famous companies in Southern Province. They all cooperated with Yang City's Plant Consciousness Research Institute.
Each of them had more assets than Wang Shuisheng.
Under normal circumstances, even Wang Shuisheng would not eat with these people.
There was no other reason. They were on a different level.
Although Wang Shuisheng was the richest man in Yang City, he was nothing in the provincial capital.
"Professor Ye, is the super rice really as amazing as you said?"
Zhang Sheng said in a deep voice.
This gathering was naturally not to reminisce about the past, but to discuss important matters.
"Secretary Zhang, it should be even more amazing than I said."
Ye Xiaochen said with a faint smile.
"That's good. I will fully support this. At least in Southern Province, I can still make decisions."
Zhang Sheng was very confident in Ye Xiaochen. He immediately said with a smile.
The promotion of the super rice was not as simple as the rapeseed. The super rapeseed was only promoted in one county and one city. It did not affect the area.
But the super rice was different.
It involved the whole province and even the whole country in the future. It was easy to imagine how strong the resistance would be.
There were too many interests involved. The rice seeds in the market were mainly hybrid rice.
The interest group in the design of hybrid rice was too big. In comparison, the interest group represented by Yang City's Plant Consciousness Research Institute was just a newborn. It was not fully integrated yet.
The promotion of the super rice was very difficult. Without the support of the government, it would be very difficult. It might even end before it even started.
Because of the difficulty, Ye Xiaochen chose to take advantage of it.
Ever since he became an associate professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and brought the Yang City Plant Consciousness Research Institute to Southern Province, he was already on the same side as Zhang Sheng.
Since they wanted to benefit, they had to support Ye Xiaochen's research.
"With Governor Zhang's support, there will be no problem."
Ye Xiaochen said with a smile.
Now that the situation in Southern Province was getting clearer, Zhang Sheng had the possibility to take a step forward. The head of Southern Province had already retired due to health reasons.
Zhang Sheng was already able to compete with the head of Southern Province. Now, his influence had increased greatly. Especially when he won the Yang City Plant Consciousness Research Institute for Southern Province, it was a great achievement.
Now, Zhang Sheng had a lot of authority in Southern Province.
"As long as the super rice is successfully cultivated, we will cooperate fully."
The bosses of the three companies hurriedly said.
They all had businesses related to the agriculture industry and were very influential.
With both the government and the business side supporting them, the promotion of the super rice in Southern Province was already half successful.
Of course, this was just the first meeting. They still had to see how the super rice cultivation went.
After all, such a big thing could not be decided in a short time.
What followed was naturally drinking and eating. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.
It was the first time Zhang Sheng and the others had eaten Xianquan's food and wine. They could not stop themselves.
"Mmm, it's delicious. Professor Ye, I really admire you. Even the vegetables you cultivated are so delicious. It's amazing."
The chairman of Jiu Ding Group, Liao Xueliang, said while eating.
"Old Liao, this fruit wine is even better. It's amazing. The Wuliangye we drank before is no different from hogwash compared to this!"
Another boss took a sip of the fruit wine and said with squinted eyes.
"Don't you know I can't drink? Are you trying to covet me?"
Liao Xueliang glared at him. When he smelled the wine, he felt his throat move.
He had alcoholic liver and could not drink at all.
The others laughed heartily.
"Chairman Liao, the vegetarian dishes in Xianquan's restaurant have health benefits. Come and eat more. I guarantee it will be good for your body."
Ye Xiaochen said with a smile.
Liao Xueliang's eyes lit up and said with a smile, "That's great. All this time, I can only eat vegetarian. It's so bland in my mouth. Now, the vegetarian dishes here are not bland at all. I finally found a place to eat."
"Unfortunately, I'm too busy with work. I don't have the time like the bosses."
Zhang Sheng said with a smile.
It was not good for him to eat here every day. Not to mention that he had no time, it would not be good for his reputation.
This time, he came to Xianquan's restaurant in an unusually low-key way. Not many people knew about it.
After all, he was the governor of a province. He was not surrounded by attendants when he went out last time.
"Me too."
Shen Yipeng, the municipal secretary of Sha City, also said.
"It's okay. I'll provide you with the ingredients. As long as you have good cooking skills, you can also make good dishes."
Ye Xiaochen said with a smile.
"Then we'll thank Professor Ye."
Zhang Sheng said happily.
The ingredients Ye Xiaochen provided for them were definitely the best of the best.
They could sit in their current position. They had eaten all kinds of delicacies and were even tired of eating them.
But now, the vegetarian dishes in Xianquan's restaurant made them completely fall in love.
