Chapter 292: Why Does It Always Have to Be Me?
Zhang Lin was momentarily stunned upon hearing Ma Jun's words.
This guy actually learned to answer first?
"Sure! That's progress!" But Zhang Lin quickly snapped back, immediately asking, "Ma Jun, aren't these the ones you planted?"
Ma Jun was utterly bewildered, unable to believe that Zhang Lin would shift the blame onto him.
How could he not know if it was his own planting?
This was clearly the land he had just plowed.
Moreover, he distinctly remembered the quantities he had planted before, and there were none like these.
Zhang Lin looked at him intently, "This entire plot was under your responsibility. Apart from you, who else could have planted these seeds?"
"You wouldn't say I planted them, would you? That's impossible. I don't know how to farm, and I've been in the office these days," Ma Jun replied.
"Boss, so you're saying I planted these?" Ma Jun was speechless.
"What do you mean? It's obvious you planted them," Zhang Lin asserted. "I heard it from Liu De that you were the one planting."
Ma Jun chose to remain silent.
That guy, Liu De, was always like this.
If the boss said it was him, then it must be him.
It seemed that no matter what, it had to be Ma Jun's doing.
"Alright, Ma Jun, let's go and see what these things are!" Zhang Lin approached with a smile, patting Ma Jun's shoulder and leading him towards the area with the giant pumpkin seeds.
Reluctantly, Ma Jun squatted down to examine the seedlings, and within moments, he said, "These are pumpkin seedlings, but they are unusually large in size."
Zhang Lin nodded; Ma Jun's professional knowledge in this area was indeed solid, as he instantly identified them as pumpkin seeds.
"I see. Then, take a good look at these and provide me with the data as soon as possible. After all, it's your research!" Zhang Lin smiled and patted Ma Jun's shoulder again before leaving the office with a sense of satisfaction.
Ma Jun's voice echoed from behind, "Boss, when you patted me just now, did you hear a clanging sound? That was the sound of a pot."
Zhang Lin chuckled.
How could he not know about the pot that he had personally hung up?
Upon returning to the office center, Zhang Lin had just sat down when Zhong Miao Ying entered with a courier package, "Boss, here's a courier package for you from the Provincial Agricultural Research Institute."
Zhang Lin immediately understood that this was the contribution award certificate and materials sent by Mr. Zheng.
Indeed, upon opening it, that's what it was.
Inside was an honorary certificate, awarded for the farm's contribution to a significant national scientific research project.
Zhang Lin also saw the game image in his mind, confirming the requirements for agricultural honors and that it had changed to 2/3.
With this, he only needed one more agricultural honor to meet the upgrade conditions.
Just then, Lin Muxue walked into the office, handing him a document, "Please take a look at this."
Zhang Lin took the document and glanced at it; it was about new recruitment information.
The farm didn't lack staff at the moment, but this was a temporary situation.
Once the pasture construction was complete, they would need to recruit a significant number of people.
By then, the farm's staff might directly exceed 1,000.
Such a large staff shortage couldn't be filled by temporary recruitment when the need arose.
Instead, it required nurturing and gaining on-the-job experience so that operations could run smoothly when a 50,000-acre pasture opened.
Therefore, it was natural to recruit these employees first and then provide training to enhance their experience.
Currently, the pasture had already been planted on a large scale, and soon, various projects would commence, including planting grass and construction.
Employee recruitment was, of course, a matter that needed to be addressed.
After reviewing the materials, he signed them.
Lin Muxue was about to leave after receiving the documents.
Zhang Lin called out to her from behind, "Shijie, do you want to give it a try in the office?"
"Don't even think about it. I told you I won't be messing around at work," Lin Muxue glared at him, adding, "And remember, save some energy for today. It's Saturday, and Fu Yao is going to your place. Otherwise, how will she help you with her hands?"
With a mischievous smile, she left.
Zhang Lin was speechless, regretting telling her about this, as she always made fun of him.
However, he needed to conserve some energy for later, as he had to pick up his girlfriend after her evening self-study session.
He missed her little hands.
Just as he was deciding, a call from Chu Heng, the Genius Brain, came in.
Answering the call, he heard Chu Heng's laughter, "Zhang Boss, we at Genius Brain have released the path through the Bamboo Maze Hexagram Array, and I believe your Hexagram Array project will soon attract many tourists."
"Okay, got it," Zhang Lin replied with a smile.
The farm had already prepared for this situation.
After all, the Hexagram Array offered a 20,000,000 reward.
Out of this, 10,000,000 was specifically for tourists, and the other 10,000,000 was intended for the first person to break through the Bamboo Maze.
Currently, the public believed that the first person to break through the Hexagram Array was undoubtedly from the Genius Brain team.
But the Genius Brain team knew the truth and naturally dared not claim the 10,000,000 reward.
So, this money was added to the tourist bonus pool.
...
Currently, the two most popular projects at Liyuan Farm were the Firefly Night Scene and the Bamboo Maze Hexagram Array.
The Bamboo Maze Hexagram Array had always been a hot topic, especially after the Genius Brain team announced the solution to the Hexagram Array and released the path.
This attracted numerous tourists to the Hexagram Array, as passing through it would earn them a 3000 reward.
This meant they could not only play for free but also earn some money.
Regardless of their skill in maze games, everyone naturally wanted to try this Bamboo Maze.
Bao Tai was no exception!
He had now accepted the changes in his family, and both he and his girlfriend had relaxed both physically and mentally.
They were now enjoying the happiness of life.
Indeed, as a young couple, they had previously worried about housing, transportation, and their future. Now, they could focus their energy on enjoying life, and their days were carefree.
So, after staying at home for two days, they finally arrived at Liyuan Farm with cheerful moods.
"Let's go check out the Bamboo Maze first!" Bao Tai pulled his girlfriend, and they walked forward in high spirits.
His girlfriend nodded; she had also heard of the Bamboo Maze Hexagram Array's reputation.
As they walked inside, they saw a farm worker holding up a sign and placing it in a spacious area.
It seemed to have something written on it, and several tourists gathered to take a look.
Curious, they approached and read the content.
Their faces showed a hint of surprise, and they exchanged glances.
A sense of eagerness could be seen in both their eyes.
"Why don't we give it a try?"
"We can try!"
