Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 308 Stubborn Feng Cheng

"Comrade Xiao Meng, what are you doing?"

Just as Meng Yue was engrossed in eavesdropping on the interaction between Qin Xuemei and Feng Cheng inside...

Summer appeared at the laboratory door.

He patted Meng Yue on the shoulder and asked a question.

Meng Yue was somewhat displeased that her eavesdropping had been interrupted by the sudden sound.

She only realized that the person who interrupted her was Xia Tian when she turned around.

Meng Yue's expression visibly became panicked.

"Engineer Xia, what brings you here?"

Realizing what was happening, Meng Yue quickly pulled Xia Tian up and walked to the side.

As Xia Tian was being pulled by Meng Yue's arm, a strange feeling welled up inside her.

It was a kind of indescribable panic and shyness.

It was as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread.

"Comrade Meng, what are you doing standing at the lab door? Why don't you go in?"

Summer composed herself and asked.

Meng Yue acted impulsively, pulling Xia Tian aside.

Now that she has belatedly come to her senses, she is extremely flustered.

So I didn't hear what Xia Tian was saying at all.

Xia Tian watched as Meng Yue's face turned from white to red, and felt a little nervous. She called out again.

"Comrade Xiao Meng!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yue slowly came back to her senses.

"Engineer Xia, what's wrong? What did you say?"

Seeing Meng Yue's dazed look, Xia Tian felt even more nervous.

However, his expression remained as calm as an old dog.

He showed no sign of nervousness and repeated himself.

"What are you doing standing at the lab door?"

Why don't you go to the lab?

Upon hearing Xia Tian's question, Meng Yue glanced around furtively.

After confirming that no one was around, he cautiously began to speak.

"Xia, I'm only telling you this, okay?"

"Don't you dare tell anyone!"

Looking at the mysterious Meng Yue, Xia Tian made a promise.

"As you know, I don't have any other merits."

"His only advantage is that he keeps his mouth shut!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone!"

Hearing Xia Tian's words, Meng Yue nodded and spoke again.

"Feng Cheng and Xue Mei are having a heart-to-heart talk in the lab!"

Xia Tian was shocked by Meng Yue's words.

Thinking back to when they were drinking together yesterday, Feng Cheng said with a pained expression that he couldn't let go of Tang Qi.

As a result, Qin Xuemei and I poured out our hearts to each other today.

He couldn't help but think to himself that Feng Cheng was a dishonest old man!

"real or fake?"

Summer asked, half believing and half doubting.

"I listened at the door for ages, how could it be fake?"

As soon as she said those words, Meng Yue immediately regretted them, thinking to herself.

"If I say this, will Engineer Xia think I'm a gossip?"

Xia Tian had no idea what Meng Yue was thinking.

"Hey, Comrade Meng, I need to talk to you!"

Seeing that Meng Yue remained silent, the atmosphere between the two became slightly awkward.

Summer had no choice but to take the initiative to speak and change the subject.

"What is it, Engineer Xia?"

When Meng Yue asked, she put away her earlier panic and became serious as they got down to business.

Xia Tian straightened his expression and began to speak.

"That's right, I discussed it with Director Li."

"We both agree that the experimental nursery should continue to expand."

"If possible, all seedlings cultivated using the semi-light seedling method will be replaced by seedlings cultivated using the full light seedling method in the future."

"However, this matter is still in the planning stage."

"After all, we do not yet have accurate data on the leaf emergence rate and survival rate of seedlings cultivated using the semi-light seedling raising method."

"And transforming the nursery is not something that can be done overnight."

"I came here to ask for your and Comrade Xuemei's opinions!"

"After all, you two are the real experts in seedling cultivation!"

"Although there is no specific data yet, I am quite confident in the semi-light seedling method."

Meng Yue frowned slightly as she listened to Xia Tian's words, lost in thought.

After a while, she said.

"Mr. Xia, the semi-light seedling method does have its advantages."

"Theoretically speaking, it allows for better control of light and humidity."

"It should help improve the survival rate and quality of seedlings."

"However, more data is indeed needed to support a full rollout."

"Moreover, the renovation of the nursery involves human, material, and time costs."

"We also need to consider whether the existing work progress will be affected."

Summer nodded and said.

"You've considered everything very thoroughly."

"However, this matter cannot be rushed."

"Although I am very confident in the semi-light seedling raising method, it is hard to say anything until the specific data is available."

As the two were talking, the laboratory door suddenly opened, and Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei came out.

Both of them had slightly flushed faces and their eyes were somewhat evasive.

The two were completely absorbed in each other and did not notice Meng Yue and Xia Tian not far away.

Meng Yue and Xia Tian exchanged a glance, and a meaningful smile appeared on their faces.

"Then I'll be going now, Xuemei!"

Feng Cheng looked at Qin Xuemei, said goodbye to her, and was about to leave the laboratory.

"Hmm, tonight?"

Qin Xuemei looked at Feng Cheng with deep affection and asked a question.

I'll be waiting for you tonight!

This means that Wu Yansheng has already left Saihanba.

If Wu Yansheng were to see Qin Xuemei in her current state, he would probably go crazy on the spot.

He had been pursuing Qin Xuemei for several years, but he had never seen her look like this before.

How long have Feng Chengcai and Qin Xuemei known each other?

"Ok!"

Qin Xuemei nodded and turned back to the laboratory.

Thinking about his promise to Qin Xuemei that evening, Feng Cheng headed towards the dormitory.

Xia Tian watched Feng Cheng leave, exchanged a glance with Meng Yue, and followed in Feng Cheng's footsteps.

Meng Yue returned to the laboratory to inquire about information from Qin Xuemei.

"Feng Cheng, you little rascal, you're not being honest!"

Xia Tian appeared behind Feng Cheng and patted him on the shoulder.

Feng Cheng was still preoccupied with his date that evening and was startled by Xia Tian.

"Xia, you appear out of nowhere! You scared me to death!"

Seeing that it was summer, Feng Cheng's tense body relaxed slightly.

"Weren't you supposed to be off today? What were you doing in the lab?"

Xia Tian put her arm around Feng Cheng's shoulder and asked a question.

"Nothing much, I just went to the lab to find some things."

Xia Tian smiled slightly upon hearing Feng Cheng's rather dishonest statement.

"What were you looking for in the lab?"

"Could it be that he went to see Comrade Xuemei?"

Feng Cheng blushed when Xia Tian saw through his thoughts.

However, he remained stubbornly defiant, like a duck that had been boiled alive.

"No, Engineer Xia, how could that be?"

"Really?"

"That's not true!"

Xia Tian's eyes darted around as she listened to Feng Cheng's answer.

"It's okay if it's not!"

"Just the other day, someone asked me to get to know Comrade Xuemei!"
