The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C608 – I Want to Stand in the C Position

Because they had been hard at work, they hadn’t brought their cell phones with them. However, there were some available in the on-call room.

​”Remember, just doing this isn’t enough. You two need to send someone to the source right away.”

“Drop these three items into the source to eliminate all the pollution,” Professor Chen instructed urgently.

​”Understood!”

The two students snatched the items and sprinted to a nearby jeep. Flooring the accelerator, they sped off, kicking up a cloud of dust behind them.

Everyone was ecstatic!

​Meanwhile, at the hotel, Director-general Zhang stood at the entrance, his face ashen with rage, barely able to contain himself.

This kid was insufferably arrogant!

What was he thinking?!

A technician, no matter how skilled, must be grounded in serving the people. What good is arrogance when it’s the people who suffer?

“Loong, what’s the situation? What kind of technician have you sent me? He’s just showing off. He’s been at Eastsea for three hours now and still hasn’t left the hotel…”

“The people of Eastsea are waiting!”

Unable to hold back, Director-general Zhang called a minister from the technical department back in the capital.

“What? This is happening? Hold on, I’ll make a call!”

The minister was equally furious and anxious. Shortly after, the young man in the room received a scathing phone call, leaving him with a pallid, steely complexion.

“Director-general Zhang, what do you mean by this? Are you complaining about me behind my back?”

“Listen here!”

“I intended to leave right after finishing my meal, but given your attitude, I’m sorry, I’m sick, I’m tired, and I won’t make it to the site until tomorrow. Find someone else if you can!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The young man was livid.

“This…”

Director-general Zhang’s face turned a sickly shade of green.

He had assumed that a call from the higher-ups would ensure compliance, but despite agreeable words, the young man’s demeanor had shifted instantly upon leaving.

With everyone in the technical department back in the capital engrossed in a major project, spare hands were scarce. Getting someone to Eastsea had been a challenge; finding a replacement would be even more troublesome.

“So, Director-general Zhang, now you understand what it’s like to feel anger and urgency?”

“I’m not petty. Just offer me an apology, say something conciliatory, and we can put this matter to rest.”

“We’re all on the same team, aren’t we?”

The young man quickly clasped his hands behind his back, posturing once more.

“Well…”

Director-general Zhang, well into his fifties and nearing retirement, found it hard to bow to someone in their twenties, especially given his high-ranking position. Yet, considering the well-being of the millions in Eastsea, he wrestled with his pride. Finally, with no other choice, he took a deep breath and prepared to offer an apology.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

“Director-general Zhang, what are you waiting for? The issue has been resolved!”

The voice of Deputy Director Ding, brimming with joy, came through the phone. He had contacted the Water Conservancy Department and secured a few helicopters.

Worried they wouldn’t suffice, he also mobilized a few from the civilian sector before calling Director-general Zhang.

​”What did you say? Can you repeat that?!”

Director-general Zhang was taken aback, questioning if his hearing was failing him. How could such a complex problem be resolved so swiftly?

“Director-general Zhang, you might not be aware, but Mr. Su has arrived. Yes, that Mr. Su. He brought a miraculous water purification pill. As soon as it’s deployed, the water instantly becomes clean. It’s truly incredible. We’re not sure how it works yet, but our calculations show that just 100 of these pills can completely address the water pollution issue!”

“Mr. Su has brought more than 200 with him, more than enough!”

Deputy Director Ding’s voice shook with excitement.

“Really? That’s fantastic news!”

Director-general Zhang was elated, his patience finally rewarded.

“Director-general Zhang, what’s got you so thrilled? Weren’t you just emphasizing the importance of the people? Why such joy over a phone call? Did your wife have a baby or something?”

The young man’s arrogance was palpable.

“Smack!”

Unable to tolerate it any longer, Director-general Zhang delivered a firm slap: “You’re young, but you should be learning how to serve the people, not strutting around like this!”

“You!”

The young man was dumbfounded. Wasn’t he supposed to be groveling for help? Expecting an apology? Why was he being struck?

“I’ll have you know, you’ve thoroughly angered me. Even if you beg, I won’t lift a finger for you!”

“Hehe!”

Upon hearing the young man’s words, Director-general Zhang let out a cold chuckle, “If you’re truly sorry, then there’s no need for your presence. The problem has already been resolved!”

Director-general Zhang had no desire to spend another minute with this individual. With a dismissive wave of his sleeve, he marched off, got into his car, and headed straight for the reservoir. The young man, hand over his mouth, was utterly bewildered. How could this be?

He hadn’t been to the site, but he had dealt with similar issues before. It was a lengthy and arduous process, requiring a substantial amount of chemicals to be mixed into the water.

How could the issue from last night be resolved by noon today?

He had pleaded with Ye Xiao not to go, and after a metaphorical slap in the face, his curiosity got the better of him, and he followed along.

Director-general Zhang was flabbergasted upon arriving at the scene. What in the world was happening?

“Why does it smell so awful?”

Director-general Zhang sniffed the air, but the odor was indistinct.

Looking more closely, he noticed his old friends standing by the reservoir, noses in the air, seemingly enraptured by the scent!

“What the heck is wrong with you all? How can you stand this stench?”

Director-general Zhang was astounded. What on earth was this?

“Zhang, you’ve made it! Take a whiff, it’s good for you!”

“Exactly, it’s particularly beneficial for your health!”

“Come on, give it a try!”

The crowd gestured for him to join in.

Director-general Zhang was completely baffled.

Are you guys pulling my leg?

Why does this seem so implausible…

Do you think I’m nose-blind? That I can’t smell how foul this is? That it’s somehow good for your health?

​”Seriously, what’s gotten into you all?”

“Huh? What’s happening? Why do I suddenly feel so much better…”

“Could it be because of this odor?”

“Move aside, I want to be front and center!”

Director-general Zhang bellowed, scrambling toward the source. He elbowed his way through the crowd to the very front, deeply inhaling the pungent aroma.

Ah, the stench!

Ah, but the relief!
