Chapter 378: Uncle, My Parents and Sister Want to Meet You!
Chapter 378: Uncle, My Parents and Sister Want to Meet You!
Zhang Lin carried Fu Yao upstairs to the bedroom, which had been prepared in advance.
At this moment, he could sense Fu Yao's nervousness and hear her heartbeat.
"Uncle!" Fu Yao murmured as she was placed on the bed.
"No regrets? I'm here!" Zhang Lin whispered in his girlfriend's ear.
"Uncle, I don't regret it!" Fu Yao was certain of her feelings.
Without hesitation, Zhang Lin began to disarm his girlfriend's defenses...
Soon after, the excitement on his face was evident.
...
Satisfied, Zhang Lin held Fu Yao in his arms, the red mark on her symbolizing his conquest.
This indicated that the girl in his arms now belonged to him.
However, as it was her first time, he didn't dare to push her too far. After they finished, he gently held her in his arms.
Having had some alcohol, Fu Yao quickly fell asleep after her first experience.
Zhang Lin quietly got up and sneaked out to find Senior Sister Lin's guest room.
He knew that Fu Yao had her first time and it probably wasn't enjoyable, so he sought out Senior Sister Lin as a backup.
Soon, he found himself next to her.
She had also drunk quite a bit and was now asleep from the alcohol.
As Zhang Lin approached, she woke up and glared at him resentfully, "What are you doing here?"
"To do you!" Zhang Lin replied honestly.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Lin Muxue was speechless, "Fu Yao is still in the manor!"
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "She's already asleep, so don't worry, Senior Sister. And I wasn't satisfied with her first time."
Lin Muxue rolled her eyes. Why was he coming to her if he wasn't satisfied? Did he think she was easy?
But soon, she realized she couldn't resist either. After drinking so much, her strength was already diminished.
And so...
The next day, Zhang Lin woke up by Fu Yao's side, as he had to return after being with Senior Sister Lin.
Fu Yao woke up late, her face filled with happiness as she looked at her uncle.
"Get up and eat!" Zhang Lin said with a smile.
"It hurts!" Fu Yao whispered.
"First, let's wash up, and then I'll carry you downstairs," Zhang Lin said as he picked up Fu Yao.
Soon, he carried the freshly washed Fu Yao downstairs, and as they reached the staircase, they saw Lin Muxue coming out of another room.
Noticing that she had just woken up, Zhang Lin gave her a half-smile, remembering how he had made her sing for a long time the night before.
Fu Yao greeted her, "Senior Sister Lin, did you just wake up?"
"Yes, I had some drinks," Lin Muxue quickly explained, not wanting to reveal that her boyfriend had kept her up.
Both of them headed downstairs.
The chef had already prepared breakfast using premium rice, which tasted delicious and uplifted their moods.
As it was Fu Yao's first time, Zhang Lin spent the entire day with her, doing nothing but keeping her company.
But the next day was different, as he almost couldn't get his girlfriend out of bed.
This continued for a few days, and during this time, Zhang Lin thoroughly trained his girlfriend, who had never been trained before, which he found quite enjoyable.
...
Time passed, and with each day, the summer vacation quietly slipped away. Liyuan Farm's success continued to grow, especially with the opening of the grassland and various new projects.
The grassland now featured several unique animals that Zhang Lin had purchased from the livestock market.
The special sheep, which were already being bred in significant numbers, became famous for their delicious meat. However, due to limited quantities, this special sheep meat was not yet widely available, and only a few lucky tourists could buy and taste it.
Despite this, the reputation of this special sheep meat spread far and wide.
Additionally, the five-colored triangle jasmine flowers completely transformed the famous triangle jasmine street in Xia City, earning praise from many visitors.
The Soybean Planting Cooperative also thrived, with the second round of soybean cultivation already mature. This round saw soybeans being grown in various parts of You City, resulting in an astonishing yield.
This development significantly boosted You City's soybean-related industries.
More and more soybeans were being cultivated in You City.
Naturally, the success of the Soybean Planting Cooperative also brought Zhang Lin significant benefits.
At the zoo, the number of panda cubs had also increased significantly.
Liyuan Farm's success in panda breeding surprised domestic panda breeding institutions.
Many institutions even wanted to visit and learn from their methods but were refused.
In addition to this, Zhang Lin was even more delighted by the significant progress made with the special cucumber, corn, watermelon, eggplant, and okra seeds he had obtained previously.
These were all seeds produced by the game system, but he was unaware of their specific attributes, which could only be seen after they matured.
Zhang Lin, in his office, had just finished processing a document when he received a report from Liu De, stating that the special eggplant and okra had matured.
As for the cucumbers, watermelons, and corn, they weren't ready yet.
He immediately headed to the special planting area to inspect the eggplants and okra.
The eggplants were growing well, and the okra was thriving too.
He picked an eggplant and some okra and went straight to the warehouse of the color-steel house, where he saw the notes on the two items:
【Special Eggplant: Quality 1】
【This is a special eggplant that, through research, stands out from ordinary eggplants. It has unique texture and flavor: Texture +1, Deliciousness +1.】
The note on the eggplant was fine, with just a +1 in texture and deliciousness, and cultivating it would only add another delicious variety to the Liyuan Farm.
But when Zhang Lin looked at the attributes of the okra, he was surprised.
【Special Okra: Quality 1】
【This is a specially cultivated mutated okra with unique effects: Protects the stomach +1, Improves anemia +1, Calcium supplement +1, Kidney and Essence supplement +1!】
This okra had no deliciousness or texture attributes.
However, its four attributes were extraordinary. This vegetable could be used for health tonics.
Moreover, the fourth attribute was astonishing.
Okra is known to have aphrodisiac properties, but whether it works or not, only those who have tried it know. Some people have even eaten several plates at once without any effect.
But this okra's attribute, surprisingly, included a +1 in kidney and essence supplement.
If this vegetable were cultivated on a large scale, how many people would consume it?
It can be said that all male counterparts would surely eat this vegetable, and every family would probably keep some in stock.
As for the reason, do I need to say it?
Men understand.
Without hesitation, Zhang Lin called Liu De and instructed him, "Harvest the seeds from all the eggplants and okra, especially the okra. After harvesting the seeds, start cultivating them as soon as possible, and the more you plant, the better."
Okra can be grown in two seasons a year. By harvesting and replanting these okra, and then harvesting the seeds again, by next year, a certain scale of okra cultivation can be achieved.
As Zhang Lin was thinking about this, his phone rang; it was a call from Fu Yao.
He quickly answered, and Fu Yao's voice came through, "Uncle, aren't I about to go to Dabeida University for registration soon?"
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "I know, didn't I promise to take you there? There will probably be many seniors who will try to get close to you, and I want to let them know that you are taken."
"Uncle, that's not what I meant." Fu Yao quickly added, "It's just that my dad wants to meet you, and my mom and sister will be coming too. They want to have a meal together before I go to university."
"Of course, that's fine." Zhang Lin smiled and said, "After all, they are my future in-laws and sister-in-law, so I must meet them. I'll prepare gifts for them."
"Yes, Uncle, you're the best." Fu Yao said with a happy face.
After hanging up, Zhang Lin began to think about what gift to give to Fu Yao's parents.
For this first meeting, the gift couldn't be too cheap, especially since he already had a considerable net worth, and a cheap gift would make him seem stingy.
It also shouldn't be too expensive.
If the gift is too expensive and Fu Yao's family knows the price, they might feel uneasy about accepting it. If they don't know the price and it's too expensive, it might lead to some unhappiness in the future.
The choice of gift also needs to be thoughtful.
After much contemplation, he decided to give his future father-in-law a watch and his future mother-in-law and sister-in-law jewelry.
A gift worth around 500,000 yuan would be appropriate, not too expensive, yet thoughtful.
He also asked in the member group of the Mountain Spring Wellness Center, stating his request, and immediately someone replied that they could help him.
He added their contact information and entrusted them with the task, not worrying about being overcharged.
After all, unless one wanted to lose face and reputation in this group, they wouldn't do such a thing, especially with so many wealthy members, including long-time lurkers like Lei Xiaojun and Old Ren.
Just as Zhang Lin finished giving these instructions, he received a game notification:
【Congratulations! The Special Agricultural Research Institute has been constructed. Attributes activated. Construction team withdrawing...】
Congratulations on the completion of the Special Agricultural Research Institute! The game notification indicates that it's time to recruit advanced research talents for designated projects.
Zhang Lin's face lit up with joy as he read the message. The 3,000-acre research institute, built at a cost of 2.1 billion, was finally ready.
The institute boasted several attributes:
1. Designated project research, with a +2 research inspiration bonus.
2. Research status +2 (0/1).
3. A +2 bonus to research speed for cracking game products.
4. A 5% probability of crop mutation.
His first priority was to focus on the special sunlight rose research, which would boost Ma Jun's research inspiration and cracking speed.
Internationally, the trend in desert governance research was significant, and Pretty Country seemed to have made breakthroughs in this area. They had invited several Western countries with severe desertification to participate in related conferences, but they were the only ones excluded from these events.
Some regions within the country also suffered from severe desertification.
This information didn't come from the news; instead, it was shared by Old Master Zheng Baoshan, who even inquired if Zhang Lin had any plans to conduct research in this field.
As the special sunlight rose research hadn't been cracked yet, Zhang Lin didn't commit to anything, giving a vague response to the old master.
However, if the research succeeded, he wouldn't mind giving the Westerners a taste of their own medicine.
To be honest, with his game advantages, making money had become too easy for him. Whether it was the skin-whitening sweet potatoes, soybean cultivation, or farm projects, he was raking in profits daily.
What he lacked now was social status and a reliable network of connections.
If the special sunlight rose research succeeded, it could address the desertification issues in nearly 100,000 acres of desert, the most severely affected area in the country.
Moreover, the nation invested heavily each year to combat desertification around certain cities, even allocating millions of funds for this purpose the previous year.
This was just the first round of experimental plans.
If the sunlight rose research succeeded, what would be the potential profits? The key was that the sunlight rose itself was edible and valuable.
After all, aside from being unaffected by environmental and seasonal changes, it also had a +1 bonus to flavor, taste, and sweetness.
The potential profits were unimaginable.
Zhang Lin even considered bringing this project to potential partners like Lei Xiaojun and Old Ren.
The reason was simple—the benefits were too great.
Even if he kept the profits to himself, troubles would inevitably arise. Therefore, there was no need to go it alone; once the money started rolling in, social status and connections would become the most crucial aspects.
Of course, safety was also a priority!
With that in mind, Zhang Lin immediately accessed his brain's holographic display and proceeded to contact Ma Jun for assistance.
In the recruitment options, there was indeed an additional choice for advanced research talents.
Moreover, the price for these talents wasn't cheap; they demanded 50,000 per month. But for specialized research, this price wasn't unusual.
Zhang Lin promptly recruited ten advanced research talents. As for the other research personnel, he planned to hire them from the Fujian Agricultural College.
It wouldn't do to have the entire institute staffed by game-recruited individuals.
These ten recruits would serve as supervisors, while the regular researchers would be hired from the real world.
After receiving the notification, Zhang Lin immediately headed to the core area's color steel house office.
This recruitment wasn't done using a special recruitment scroll but through direct manifestation.
Clearly, there was a distinction between this and Ma Jun's recruitment, and the potential of these recruits might not match Ma Jun's, as Ma Jun's recruitment was the first of its kind, while the others were mass-produced.
Upon reaching the core area's color steel house, Zhang Lin indeed found ten manifested figures and a stack of documents on the table.
"Boss!" they exclaimed as he entered, greeting him enthusiastically.
Zhang Lin nodded and sat down to review their documentation.
To his surprise, these individuals were all top graduates from renowned foreign universities.
Moreover, they weren't orphans or foreign-raised students; they were all well-connected individuals with parents abroad.
Zhang Lin realized that the game had meticulously arranged this, ensuring everything was in order, including their travel and immigration records.
After all, the game had gone to great lengths to make Little Black Bear's arrival plausible, even using the deceased Forestry Bureau Chief's signature on related documents.
It was safe to say that in this aspect, the game's attention to detail was impressive.
With this in mind, Zhang Lin took out his phone and called Ma Jun.
Now that the special research institute was built, it was time to make Ma Jun happy with this assistance.
