My sisters drove me away, and now they are crying and begging for my forgiveness?

After briefly explaining the situation, Yang Zhen said hurriedly, "You go ahead and do your work. We'll leave after dinner."

"Sorry, let's meet again next time."

Yang Zhen and Assistant Director Li were both somewhat flattered by Lin An's words. They both stood up and said at the same time, "Mr. Lin, you are too polite."

After leaving the villa, we went to the hospital to pick up Mr. Liang, and then went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Along the way, Mr. Liang talked about the blood ginseng: "I listened to your advice and put the blood ginseng in a cool place, and the blood ginseng grew well. But last night, the blood ginseng seemed to be suddenly sick, and more than half of its leaves withered. Lao Cui contacted me immediately."

Because the incident happened in the middle of the night, Mr. Liang did not disturb Lin An. In addition, he learned that Tong Yan's funeral was going to be held this morning, so he waited until Xiang Yunqing came back before calling Lin An.

"Half of the leaves are dead?"

Lin An was stunned.

Blood ginseng is not a very difficult plant to grow, it is just a bit picky about the growing environment. As long as the environment is good, apart from the necessary watering and fertilizing, there is basically no need to take care of it, it can grow tenaciously on its own.

Why did the withering problem occur? This made him think of human factors.

The car stopped at the entrance of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. As soon as the two entered, they saw Mr. Cui rushing over: "You are finally here. I was so anxious."

As he spoke, Mr. Cui pulled Lin An inside.

Mr. Liang had no choice but to follow.

The three of them soon arrived at the blood ginseng plantation. Just as Mr. Liang said, Lin An looked around and saw that most of the leaves of every blood ginseng had turned yellow.

Lin An squatted down and his fingers accidentally touched the soil, and he immediately felt something strange.

"What's going on? I pulled out the leaves of the blood ginseng for testing, and it only showed that it was burned to death. But there is no sunlight here, so how could it be burned to death?"

Cui Lao was anxious and puzzled. When he saw Lin An holding a handful of soil, he became even more anxious: "Lin An, boy, take a look at the blood ginseng, why are you playing with soil?"

Elder Liang was more careful than him. When he saw Lin An pinching a handful of soil, he was moved: "Do you suspect there is something wrong with the soil?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Lao denied it: "Impossible, I check this soil every day."

"Have you checked today?"

Lin An put the soil in front of his nose and sniffed it, and smelled a slight smell of sulfur.

"I haven't had time to check it today because I was busy checking the blood ginseng. But I also tested the soil yesterday and it was fine, no problem at all."

As Cui Lao said this, he watched Lin An stand up and asked hurriedly, "Do you see what went wrong?"

Lin An was about to speak when he saw two people approaching from a distance. One of them shouted to Cui Lao: "Teacher, teacher, I have invited the researcher from the Botanical Research Institute."

One of them was the young man who had thrown away the instruction manual written by Lin An, named An Zhijie.

The other person was a stranger that Lin An had never seen before. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and had an ordinary face with undisguised arrogance.

"Researcher Zhang, this is my teacher and the dean of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

"President Cui."

Facing Mr. Cui, the man showed a little respect on his face.

"Teacher, this is the plant researcher I specially invited, Zhang Mingze."

"Zhang Mingze is a professional, much more professional than some half-baked people. He can definitely find out why the blood ginseng withered."

After hearing Andy On's promise, Cui Lao hesitated. He looked at Lin An and said, "Lin An, look at this..."

"Teacher, why are you still hesitating? It is most important to find out the reason why the blood ginseng withered."

Before Lin An could speak, Andy On quickened his pace.

Cui Lao glared at An Zhijie and said, "Shut up."

After saying that, he looked at Lin An and asked tentatively: "Lin An, how about letting Researcher Zhang check it first?"

Lin An calmly extended his hand and said, "Please go ahead."

Old Liang stood aside, sneered, and was about to refute when he saw Lin An shaking his head at him.

Old Liang was not sure about Lin An's thoughts. He only knew that if Old Cui did this, Lin An might feel alienated. Therefore, the cultivation of blood ginseng could not be limited to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!

Zhang Mingze squatted down and pretended to check it. Suddenly his face turned black and sour: "President Cui, who told you to plant the blood ginseng here?"

Cui Lao was shocked, and his brain short-circuited for a moment: "Isn't it wrong to plant it here?"

"Of course not! All plants need to absorb photosynthesis. The blood ginseng planted here cannot get photosynthesis, so it will naturally not survive."

Mr. Cui frowned and looked at Zhang Mingze with a strange look.

Zhang Mingze talked to himself, saying that he was an expert in his profession: "Also, the density of blood ginseng planting is not right. If you want the blood ginseng to have a high survival rate, you have to put it in the sun..."

"Where the sun isn't strong?"

Andy On quickly interrupted him, secretly cursing this man in his heart for being unreliable. Didn’t he tell him that blood ginseng cannot be exposed to the sun?

Zhang Mingze saw Andy On's puzzled face, his expression changed instantly, and then he continued: "Yes, put it where the sunlight is not strong, but it cannot be completely away from the sun. Sunlight and rain are natural essences, and they treat all plants equally."

He only looked at Andy On and didn't notice that Mr. Cui's face looked ugly.

"So, you mean the blood ginseng withered because it didn't absorb photosynthesis?"

Zhang Mingze was about to nod when he was suddenly interrupted by Andy On. He noticed Mr. Cui's expression and alarm bells started ringing in his heart.

Could it be that during the time he was away to pick someone up, the teacher had already found out the reason?

Impossible, he did it so secretly!

An Zhijie didn't dare to gamble, and gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, what Researcher Zhang meant is that this might be just one of the reasons, right?"

As he said this, he quickly winked at Zhang Mingze next to him.

Zhang Mingze didn't quite understand what Andy On said. He felt that his idea was correct. Could it be that Andy On was afraid that he would steal the limelight? Afraid that he would leave a good impression on Mr. Cui?

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingze's eyes flashed, and he said with certainty: "Yes, this is the main reason why the blood ginseng withered."

After hearing this, Mr. Cui laughed out of anger.

Andy On's heart sank, and two words flashed through his mind: It's over.

Lin An chuckled.

Zhang Mingze heard this chuckle and immediately looked unhappy: "What are you laughing at? Do you disagree with what I said?"

"There is no basis for this, why should I agree?"

Lin An said frankly that he had held back until now to laugh, which was already giving face to this so-called researcher.

Zhang Mingze was furious: "Who are you to dare to talk to me like that? Mr. Cui, do you believe him or me?"

As he spoke, Zhang Mingze looked at Mr. Cui, and when he saw his angry face, he was stunned. What was going on?

Cui Lao's reaction was not what he had imagined. Shouldn't he have praised him highly? Why did he look so angry?

Zhang Mingze felt a little flustered and looked at Andy On again.

Andy On was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to make eye contact with Zhang Mingze anymore. He regretted so much that he shouldn't have taken advantage of the situation by hiring an intern who had just joined the research institute.

Now we can only hope that Mr. Cui hasn’t discovered the reason why the blood ginseng withered.

However, he looked at Lin An, and just as he glanced at him...

"Okay, that's great. I figured it out. Andy On, tell me, what is your purpose in bringing him here?"

Cui Lao angrily raised his trembling finger and pointed it at Andy On to question him.

Andy On was terrified and hurriedly explained: "Teacher, I just wanted to share your worries and found him. Teacher, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I will take him away now."

Zhang Mingze was speechless when he saw that his conspiracy was about to be exposed, and let Andy On pull him away.

He had wanted to show off before, and originally thought that if he could leave a good impression with Mr. Cui, then after he finished his internship at the research institute, Mr. Cui would ask him to work at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

He knew very well that with his ability he might not be able to stay in the research institute, but it would be better if he could get into the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Now all his efforts were in vain, and Cui Lao scolded him: "You are just fooling around. You are more likely to cause trouble than to achieve anything."
