Cheng You and Chen Qin exchanged glances, looking at his arrogant demeanor, they wished they could slap him.
But this matter was unsolvable. If Madam Liu did not relent, no one could do anything.
Cheng You felt a sense of dejection. Given the relationship between Chen Qin and Pei Kesheng, reconciliation seemed unlikely.
She knew when to retreat, but before leaving, she said to Pei Kesheng, "Director Pei, although I really dislike you, I still want to tell you, the son-in-law you personally chose, do you truly understand what kind of person he is?"
Pei Kesheng's expression changed slightly, clearly angered, "What do you mean by that!"
Cheng You shrugged, "Nothing, just wanted you to open your eyes, lest you make an irreparable mistake. That Qiu Yingxun is not as simple as he appears, he..."
Knock, knock, knock!
A knock at the door interrupted Cheng You's words.
Before Pei Kesheng could speak, the door opened.
"Father-in-law, I want to discuss some details with you about the wedding banquet." Qiu Yingxun walked in from outside.
Pei Kesheng ushered them out, "Then I won't keep you two any longer."
Cheng You said, "Director Pei, I haven't finished speaking."
"Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Cheng. I am very satisfied with the son-in-law I chose, and I don't need anyone else to gossip."
Cheng You wanted to say more, but Chen Qin stopped her, "Cheng You, let's go."
When Qiu Yingxun revealed his true colors, let Pei Kesheng regret it himself.
Cheng You wasn't thinking about Pei Kesheng's fate, she purely didn't want to ruin Pei Lanlan's life.
But since Pei Kesheng wouldn't listen to her, there was nothing she could do.
The two walked out of the pharmaceutical factory, lost and unsure of what else to do.
Chen Qin said, "Why don't we find another place?"
Cheng You sighed, "That's all we can do."
As the two were about to leave, they heard Qiu Yingxun's voice, "Cheng You, wait!"
Cheng You paused and looked back.
"Do you need something?"
Qiu Yingxun said, "I have something to tell you, about that piece of land, are you interested?"
A smile of interest appeared on Cheng You's face, "You're not going to say you can make Madam Liu sell the land to me, are you?"
Qiu Yingxun stood tall and proud, "If I say I can, do you believe me?"
Cheng You became interested and asked, "What are your conditions?"
Qiu Yingxun said, "I want you to keep what you know to yourself."
At least, never let Pei Kesheng know.
Cheng You smiled slightly, "I refuse. Speaking of which, you also know that your affair with Cheng Tao is shameful?"
Qiu Yingxun became enraged, "Then go ahead and say it. I'll see if Pei Kesheng believes you!"
Fortunately, Pei Kesheng himself did not have a good relationship with Zhen Shan Tang.
The possibility of him patiently listening to Cheng You was probably not high.
Qiu Yingxun comforted himself and turned back into the factory.
As soon as he entered, he was called to the office by Pei Kesheng.
His heart sank, and he walked in nervously.
"Father-in-law, is there something?"
Pei Kesheng asked, "Do you have a grudge against Cheng You? Why would you interfere with their land purchase?"
Qiu Yingxun explained, "I thought Father-in-law disliked them."
Pei Kesheng paused. He didn't dislike Cheng You, but he had issues with Chen Qin.
Because of Chen Qin, he also disliked Zhen Shan Tang.
Since the incident with Mu Xi Cao, Pei Kesheng had a higher opinion of Cheng You, and his dislike for them had lessened.
Furthermore, with Pei Lanlan's wedding approaching, a major concern in his heart was resolved, and past conflicts faded away.
Therefore, when he learned that Zhen Shan Tang wanted to buy land to build a factory, he did not intervene.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yingxun took action.
"Fine, handle it yourself. Also, is there anything else you're hiding from me?"
Qiu Yingxun shook his head, "Father-in-law, I am sincerely grateful to you and would never hide anything from you. Cheng You and I have a feud, please don't believe her words."
Pei Kesheng nodded, "Alright, you can go."
...
The land purchase issue was not yet resolved when Director Hao sent news that the researcher who would be studying with her had been decided, and wanted to ask for her opinion.
Cheng You didn't ask who it was and said directly, "When the medicinal herb garden is ready, let her come over then."
Director Hao said, "Don't you want to ask who it is?"
"It doesn't matter who it is, they are all researchers, and they won't be too bad," Cheng You said indifferently.
Director Hao, "It's Liu Ying, is that okay?"
Cheng You paused and then smiled.
"Director Hao, I'm not that vindictive. Teacher Liu did make mistakes, but she has already been punished. The research institute must have a reason to keep her, right?"
Seeing that she seemed to have truly let go of the past, Director Hao was finally relieved.
"Alright, then let Liu Ying study with you. I will notify her to prepare."
When Cheng You went out, she saw Liu Ying.
She smiled and nodded slightly, walking towards the main entrance.
Director Hao followed out and said with a smile, "Don't look, she's agreed."
Liu Ying gave a wry smile, "It was my petty-mindedness."
"It's good that you know. In terms of magnanimity, you are not as good as this young girl," Director Hao said sternly, gesturing towards her.
After the spot was confirmed, and the medicinal herb garden was handled, Cheng You called Liu Ying to go together.
"The journey is a bit far, I apologize for the trouble, Teacher Liu."
Liu Ying waved her hand, "I can handle this little hardship."
Along the way, the two didn't talk much.
Liu Ying was anxious in her heart, while Cheng You genuinely had nothing to say to her.
When they reached the medicinal herb garden, Liu Ying started talking more.
Researchers at botanical research institutes are all quite similar; they become a bit eccentric when they see plants.
Especially seeing how well Cheng You's medicinal herbs were grown, she couldn't help but exclaim, "You study pharmaceuticals, I didn't expect you to be so skilled in growing medicinal herbs."
Cheng You smiled, "It's thanks to Professor Zhao. He gave me intensive training on medicinal herb cultivation knowledge."
Liu Ying had to admit that those who are talented and hardworking are closer to success.
Cheng You mainly guided her in propagating Mu Xi Cao.
First, the branches of Mu Xi Cao were soaked in a dew solution overnight, making them look particularly vigorous.
Liu Ying lowered her head and sniffed, "Is there anything different about this water?"
Cheng You nodded, "Of course."
"Is it a prepared nutrient solution?"
Cheng You said, "Teacher Liu, I apologize, this is a secret, and I cannot tell you."
Liu Ying did not speculate narrowly as before, but nodded in understanding.
Zhao Jisheng had mentioned before that Cheng You's identity was somewhat special.
"If your pharmaceutical factory were built nearby, it would be more convenient, wouldn't it?" she chatted idly.
Cheng You shook her head, "The terrain nearby is not suitable. We have already chosen a piece of land, but we haven't come to an agreement."
"There are still things you can't agree on? Where is it?"
Cheng You said, "It's the place next to Hui Chun Tang Pharmaceutical Factory, which is now a garbage dump."
Liu Ying fell silent and stopped talking.
After a day of working in the field, Liu Ying felt she had learned a lot and was reluctant to leave.
Seeing this, Cheng You said, "There are also rooms to live in my medicinal herb garden. If Teacher Liu doesn't mind, you can stay here for one night. However, I won't have time to come tomorrow, so you can look around the medicinal herb garden yourself."
Liu Ying didn't mind and immediately decided to stay.
