"Fuck!"

Everyone was staring dumbfounded at the lush array of vegetables, not knowing what to say!

While everyone was in such a daze, Wang Dagui's men, finally regaining their senses from the lack of oxygen, swiftly ran over!

"Ha ha, all stunned? Are you too embarrassed to laugh now? Actually, there's no need to be embarrassed, as long as..."

The bald leader was mocking them when he looked towards that 'barren hill,' and in an instant, like a goose caught by the neck, he choked up!

Not just him, all his men behind him did the same, because in that instant, they saw all the seeds Hu Xiaobei had planted sprouting...

"How is this possible!"

They exclaimed in shock and vigorously rubbed their eyes!

After rubbing, they found it was still the same...

Glancing at them indifferently, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "What's with you guys? Hurry and cheer for me now, aren't you here to congratulate me?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei say this, their mouths twitched violently…

Hu Xiaobei saw the embarrassed looks on their faces and let out a cold laugh, then quickly walked over to inspect closely!

After confirming all the vegetables were growing incredibly well, Hu Xiaobei smiled super happily!

Soon, under everyone's watchful eye, Hu Xiaobei approached Wang Dagui!

After a glance at Wang Dagui, Hu Xiaobei said with a face full of gratitude, "Ah, I really owe it to you, you said all the seeds would sprout, and now they all have!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words of gratitude, Wang Dagui really wanted to slap himself hard!

After an awkward smile, he silently turned around and left without expression…

Seeing Wang Dagui leaving expressionless, the thugs quickly slunk away as well!

At this moment, they really felt the sting to their faces!

They knew they were truly unlucky, not only missing the sheep meat but also getting a few kicks from the sheep...

...

Watching them slink away, Hu Xiaobei let out a cold laugh!

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei moved to Guo Meiyu and the others' side, and looking at their slightly surprised faces, he rubbed his nose somewhat proudly and said, "Well? What do you think, ladies? Not too bad, right?"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's proud look, they exchanged glances and giggled, "How to put it... It's passable!"

Hearing their response, Hu Xiaobei had a bitter smile, "Just passable? Your standards are way too high!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's wry smile, they laughed merrily...

On the other side, at the school, after Lin Wei returned from Sakata Hirokazu, he found out about Han Jiayan's enrollment!

A rather displeased Lin Wei quickly rushed to his father's office, "Dad, why did you agree to let Han Jiayan attend school?"

Hearing Lin Wei's question, the old man scoffed and said, "What, the Mayor himself got involved, what choice did I have? Do I not want to live?"

"But... you didn't have to agree so easily!"

Giving Lin Wei a cold look, he said bluntly, "Agree easily my ass! I've made it clear to you before, we can't afford to offend Hu Xiaobei, so we shouldn't mess with him anymore! As for us, the most important thing is to repair our relationship with him! So I'm telling you, don't get any ideas about Han Jiayan, or else, don't blame me for being utterly merciless!"

He was quite fond of this son,

But he loved power even more!

So if his own son jeopardized his career, he would not hesitate to cut him loose!

Hearing such a threat, Lin Wei's mouth twitched...

Still very reluctant, but he had to speak up, "Yes! I understand!"

"Good, now go! Keep it quiet for a while!"

"Yes!"

Leaving his father's office, Lin Wei let out a fierce low growl. The next moment, he walked back to his own office with an expressionless face!

After slamming the door shut, he growled, "Hu Xiaobei, you think you're so great, managing to cozy up to the Mayor, but you little twerp, don't get smug! Sooner or later, I'll kill you myself!"

Lin Wei knew he couldn't count on his father anymore, so now his only hope lay with Sakata Hirokazu!

With that thought, he quickly changed his clothes and left...

...

Inside Haifeng Group's research lab, the three researchers were frantically studying!

At that moment, their eyes were as red as rabbits'.

Previously, after receiving orders from Sakata Hirokazu, they began a detailed study of the pear!

They believed that, given their level of expertise, thoroughly researching it wouldn't be very difficult!

But when they truly started their research, they realized that it was dozens, even hundreds of times more difficult than they had imagined!

No matter what they tried, they couldn't figure anything out!

"How is it going over there?"

After yet another failed experiment, the man with the dark expression turned towards the other two!

"I just failed again!"

"Me too!"

Hearing the question, the other two answered in utter defeat!

Soon, the three researchers sat in their chairs, their faces the picture of misery!

Before, they had thought of themselves as the world's top researchers!

Nothing could hide its secrets from them!

But now, they realized they had overestimated themselves!

Sighing like this, they heard footsteps drawing closer and closer...

Instantly, they felt embarrassed because they knew it must be Sakata Hirokazu coming their way!

Sure enough, that was the case when they looked up!

"Young Master Sakata!"

Knowing they couldn't avoid it, they respectfully spoke up!

Sakata Hirokazu waved his hand and said bluntly, "Cut the crap, just tell me how the research is going. Have you mastered all the secrets of the pear that was obtained from Hu Xiaobei? Can we clone it directly now?"

The reason Haifeng Group trained so many powerful researchers...

Was actually for cloning!

Whenever another company had a good product, they would quietly get their hands on it for detailed research, then clone it as soon as possible...

This way, they could save the maximum on research and development costs and deal the greatest blow to their competitors!

This time, Sakata Hirokazu employed the same tactic, believing it would surely be successful, especially since he brought with him the top researchers!

"This..."

Hearing Sakata Hirokazu's expectant words, their mouths twitched fiercely!

Seeing their expressions off, Sakata Hirokazu realized their current state wasn't quite right; everyone looked as if they hadn't slept for days!

"Have you failed in the research?"

After this thought jumped out in his mind, his mouth twitched, and soon after, he said coldly, "What exactly happened? Explain it to me, now!"

Hearing such loud questioning, knowing they couldn't hide it anymore, they exchanged a look, and then one researcher said softly, "Young Master Sakata, we had conducted a very thorough study on that pear you brought, but later on, we failed."

"Failed? What do you mean? You haven't thoroughly researched it?"

He sighed awkwardly, continuing, "Young Master Sakata, it's not that we haven't thoroughly researched it, but that we haven't achieved even a tiny bit of success! To put it simply, we've utterly failed!"
