But Qiao Qingyu did not want to get involved with them.

“Right, Old Wei mentioned that you have Barley Grass and Willow Wood capable of improving soil and environment. I wonder if you’d be interested in trying to plant them around the base?” He Xiuyu spoke leisurely.

Qiao Qingyu smiled with a hint of regret, “He Xiuyu, I’m really sorry, but I’ve already planned to use the Barley Grass and Willow Wood on three thousand mu of wasteland in cooperation with Xiaxi Commune, so I don’t have a single seed left now.”

Even if they agreed to establish a breeding laboratory for her, this year’s seeds of Barley Grass and Willow Wood would not be given to the base. No one cherishes things that come too easily.

He Xiuyu did not try to persuade her—it seemed he was just asking casually.

“Come to the base with me tomorrow, and see Old Xie for the relevant procedures.”

Although there were some twists and turns, the outcome was favorable. Qiao Qingyu curved her eyes. She noticed He Xiuyu’s gaze fleetingly fall upon the cloth bag. After a moment of thought, she picked up the bag. She didn’t need the money now, and it was better kept with her for the time being. Then, she picked up the paper, speaking cheerfully, “Then, thank you.”

“It’s what I should do,” said He Xiuyu, his voice seemingly pleased.

Regarding the source of the seeds and the distinctly different character of Qiao Qingyu, he did not plan to continue inquiring. Qiao Qingyu was still young, not yet eighteen. If she could have a goal, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for him or for this family. If she could truly persist, he wouldn’t mind being her shield!

…

With He Xiuyu’s approval, Old Xie quickly processed all the related paperwork with Qiao Qingyu.

Qiao Qingyu had never thought that establishing a breeding laboratory would be easy, but she also hadn’t expected that the approval process would be so strict. So essentially, He Xiuyu from last night had served as her shield.

Then, two rooms were allocated to Qiao Qingyu in a separate area.

Qiao Qingyu then learned that in this isolated area, there were several laboratories affiliated with Tenghai Research Base.

No wonder the approval went so smoothly.

This area had no name—it was called Zone 5, outside the base’s security perimeter.

This was better; Qiao Qingyu did not want to be too close to them.

So, she hauled the old equipment to the laboratory, arranged the room, and as a lone commander, she locked the laboratory doors and rode her bicycle to the newly constructed family compound.

It was nearly the end of April, and the houses in the base family compound were almost finished.

Based on rank and contribution, the housing was divided into three residential areas.

The house allocated to He Xiuyu was naturally in the best area; the enclosing wall was also finished, and there was a gatehouse at the entrance. Director Xie told Qiao Qingyu that her house was among the five brick houses closest to the poplar forest.

But construction was still ongoing here. Qiao Qingyu glanced around; given the limited base funds, it was already good that they could afford brick houses.

As for apartment buildings, they were not even worth considering.

She felt that in the next few months, she could clear some land. After all, Chief Engineer He’s yard was very large, and it would be a waste not to use it.

Of course, she should not think about reclaiming wasteland, but by then, she could get a plowing machine to till the land.

After pondering for a while, Qiao Qingyu rode her bicycle away.

As she passed the main gate of the experimental base, she slowed down, looking distantly inside.

The office building of the experimental base was on the outside, and here was the real core experimental department.

The walls were very high, almost three meters, and from her angle, she couldn’t see anything except for two guards ready at their posts and the tightly closed gates.

It is said that there are thousands of scientists here, and further inside are many assembly lines and large workshops.

The road leading to Xichuan had been repaired, and many large trucks came and went every day.

This was not only a research center but also responsible for manufacturing.

The matter with that female spy was actually quite serious, but Qiao Qingyu didn’t know who she was, nor did she know how to bring it up to He Xiuyu.

Even though she was He Xiuyu’s family member, she had no right to step inside the research base.

Qiao Qingyu shook her head and rode her bicycle away quickly.

At that moment, in He Xiuyu’s office, Su Yunyao frowned tightly, because there had been a slight issue at the research base that He Xiuyu and Shen Haoze had gone to handle.

She had volunteered herself to take care of He Xuerong.

But when it was just her and the little girl left, Su Yunyao suddenly couldn’t remember anything about He Xuerong from her past life.

This feeling was eerie, sending a cold sweat down her back.

She knew this person existed, but why was there no memory of her at all?

It was an unspeakable and somewhat horrifying sensation.

Su Yunyao didn’t know what was wrong, or perhaps she was experiencing selective amnesia with He Xuerong?

But that didn’t seem right.

A mere five-year-old girl, how could she cause such a barrier in her?

But as noon approached, He Xiuyu and Shen Haoze still hadn’t returned.

She needed to take care of the child’s meal.

Su Yunyao went to pick up He Xuerong, but the little girl’s hand was tightly clutching the wooden box; fortunately, at that moment, Sister Yu entered pushing the door, allowing Su Yunyao to breathe a sigh of relief and let Sister Yu watch the child while she went to the dining hall to get food for Rongrong.

However, as she reached the door, Sister Yu said with a smile, “I just saw Qiao Qingyu in Zone 5.”

Su Yunyao paused, looking at Yu Jing, puzzled, “Sister Yu, what was Qiao Qingyu doing in Zone 5?”

“Don’t you know?”

“I don’t know,” Su Yunyao’s voice was a bit irritated.

“Qiao Qingyu wants to establish a breeding laboratory, and the leadership of our base has approved it. Today, Old Xie completed the formalities with her and then had some breeding equipment moved to the laboratory. It’s affiliated with our research base, and from now on, we and Qiao Qingyu will be somewhat colleagues. This way, she and Chief Engineer He can also have something common to talk about. It’s a good thing.”

Yu Jing smiled, seemingly very pleased for Qiao Qingyu.

But Su Yunyao’s face turned pale.

She had sabotaged Qiao Qingyu’s contract for the base’s land, but how did Qiao Qingyu manage to establish a breeding laboratory at Tenghai Research Base without her knowing?

And it had already been approved, with a location found and equipment moved in.

“Sister Yu, you’re joking right? Could the base’s leadership make such an important decision so easily?”

And He Xiuyu, didn’t he know what kind of person Qiao Qingyu was? How could he agree to it!

“Silly girl, how can it be a decision made easily? Mr. Qi from headquarters also agreed,” Yu Jing said softly, as if she didn’t notice Su Yunyao’s agitation. “Alright, hurry and get food for Rongrong. It’s supportive for Xiao He that Qiao Qingyu comes to work at the base.”
