Chapter 205: Chapter 205
At that moment, Jing Shu saw that Zhou Bapi was even thinking about salt water; she herself was just two steps away from figuring it out, which was extremely frustrating. But now, things had settled down, and in the end, it was she who resolved the issue.
However... the result was also pleasing. Jing Shu clapped her hands and said, "So, does this mean the problem with gastrodia has been solved? Am I in charge of this batch of gastrodia now?"
Zhou Bapi gave a thumbs up. "Yes, I’ll put it in your record right now. Oh, and you can pick five assistants to help you out regularly."
Jing Shu then grandly gestured to invite the girl with baby fat. "King... Danai, right? Then please continue to help."
"Of course." The girl smiled slightly, revealing dimples.
Sneaking a glance at the girl’s substantial bust, Jing Shu fell into thought. Could it be that one’s name influenced their appearance? People are always envious of what they don’t have. It was at this moment that Jing Shu decided:
To plant one square meter of papaya and eat one every day. Whether it would enhance her bust was beside the point; the key was that papayas were delicious.
"She really does have some substance, arriving and solving the problems that President Zhou was troubled with."
"Just look at how she’s dressed, and you’ll know she’s no simple character. Haven’t you seen how courteous President Zhou is to her? Although President Zhou is a nice guy, when have you ever seen him treat someone like that?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao, who had been about to argue, suddenly lost her fire. Covering her face, she turned and ran away. We can only wait for Chairman Tie to come back to see what this person’s all about.
The storm had finally passed. Jing Shu returned to her test field to start planting astragalus. She wasn’t at all worried about Xiao Xiao having any designs on her fields because, for better management of the medicinal herb cultivation, they were monitored 24 hours a day with no blind spots.
She had just finished planting when she got a call saying Yang Yang had returned and was waiting for her at the villa entrance.
Good heavens, these people said they were only going for one or two months, and look how long it took them to get back! More than two months had passed since the theft incident in the United States.
Jing Shu was hurriedly taken back to the villa by Zhou Bapi.
"I wouldn’t believe for a second that this person doesn’t have connections. Look, President Zhou is even personally seeing her off." Content originally comes from novel★fire.net
Regarding this new hire who made everyone look at her differently on her first day, everyone held a newfound respect for Jing Shu. Her situation even broke the existing record of someone attending work only once in more than ten days; it was rumored this was special treatment given by President Zhou.
Five bald men squatted under the large shelter of the villa, each taking small puffs from a single cigarette in turn. Meanwhile, Yang Yang, having securely wrapped her hair, placed her long boots on the edge of a pool and used a syringe to draw up water. "How about you guys make a bet on how long it will take for Jing Shu to arrive? Whoever guesses right gets to try a salt water injection?"
"Are you out of your mind? Who would make such a bet!"
As they were speaking, Jing Shu arrived by car. Zhou Bapi, rubbing his hands, revealed his Big Yellow Teeth. "Jing Shu, if you can spare the time, think of a way to save our Honeysuckle. If you can cure them, that batch of Honeysuckle will be yours."
Zhou Bapi had gone to great lengths to bring Jing Shu in and even promised such a big incentive because he knew she had the ability to grow such high-quality medicinal plants. He had a premonition that the Wu City Pharmaceutical Association might really have to rely on Jing Shu in the future.
"Alright, I’ll think of a way when I go there next time, but it’s not guaranteed to work," Jing Shu said modestly.
This made Zhou Bapi even more pleased. Despite what Jing Shu said, he knew that the Honeysuckle would now be saved. This girl acted as if she didn’t know anything, but she possessed real skill.
Zhou Bapi turned his head and went to look for Su Malie.
Jing Shu saw several big men at the door, all looking at her. Jing Shu also sized up Yang Yang and her group. Except for Yang Yang, who basically hadn’t changed, the others had altered quite a bit; one of them had lost an arm, and another now had a horrific scar on his face.
"Yo, young miss, you’ve been doing pretty well these past six months, huh? We all know about yesterday’s incident with you grabbing the room from Wang Dazhao. It wasn’t in vain that Wang Dazhao risked his life to get that thing for you," said Yang Yang teasingly.
Wang Dazhao lowered his head and said, "Jing Shu, that was like a rebirth for me. These are nothing. Besides, it was everyone’s way of showing gratitude for the special medicine you brought, that they brought this for you."
Jing Shu looked confused. "What exactly is it? Could it be something from the United States?"
Yang Yang waved her hand, and two men went to the back of the pickup truck, pulling out a heavy-looking object.
Yang Yang said, "If it weren’t for your special medicine, the one without a hand and the one with a chunk missing from his face would have long since died from wound infections. We wouldn’t have been able to complete our part of the mission at all. Later, when we saw this thing, I thought that out of all the people I know, you’re the only one strong enough to perfectly control it."
With that, he opened it. It was an awesome piece of Mecha equipment! Just like those fully-armed warriors in movies, it looked incredibly cool, didn’t it?
Jing Shu’s eyes lit up.
"This is an incomplete exoskeleton mech system, the latest product researched by the United States’ Lockheed Company. It cost 800,000, weighs 70 kilograms, and is equipped with a hydraulic booster device, a graphite-selenium casing, and tritium battery power."
"Whether in extreme cold or extreme heat, the sealed exoskeleton system has excellent temperature control capabilities, ensuring it maintains standard performance under any extreme conditions."
"Its bulletproof capability goes without saying, though it definitely can’t withstand missiles or nuclear bombs."
"The left side is equipped with a mechanical claw. It’s enormously powerful, and you can use it like an excavator."
"The right side is fitted with various machine gun mounts and heavy weapon brackets. However, we didn’t manage to retrieve the entire Mecha, so it lacks weapons. Therefore, you can only use it as protective equipment. But there’s one drawback," Yang Yang coughed forcefully.
Jing Shu’s eyes were already sparkling. Having been killed in her previous life, she had a deep-seated lack of security. Seeing any useful item that could help her survive the apocalypse was irresistible, not to mention that wearing this would mean she no longer had to fear the extreme cold of the apocalypse.
This kind of equipment often appeared in science fiction movies. In Huaxia’s first epic science fiction film, "The Wandering Earth," the characters wore this type of power mech, though there were still some slight differences between the two.
"What’s the drawback?"
"The thing needs to be charged. Once fully charged, it can probably only be used for a few hours... You know, science hasn’t advanced to that level yet."
Jing Shu pondered for a moment. That seemed acceptable. If the worst came to pass, in a life-threatening situation, she just needed to keep it charged in her space, ensuring it was always ready.
"No problem, I thing. It’s fine without weapons; it’s pretty good for defense. Thank you all."
Jing Shu felt she had gained another significant trump card. At the very least, if real danger arose, she could instantly don the suit, which was far more reliable than throwing huge rocks.
"Alright then, I’ll take them back first to make arrangements. My great-grandfather is celebrating his eighty-eighth birthday, and I’d like to invite you all for a meal. Come with Niu later, and we can discuss things properly."
