"The public review has ended, and the final shortlist is about to be announced."
At 2:00 PM, the announcent ca over the broadcast right on ti.
"First, we will announce the International Agricultural Products Excellence Award from this Autumn Expo..."
There are a total of 60 excellence awards, 10 for each region, and during the award ceremony, each will go on stage to receive their award.
For so ordinary fruit and vegetable farrs, receiving this excellence award is a great honor. Later, they can hang it in their vegetable garden or base for display.
The International Vegetable Industry Autumn Expo is not only renowned internationally but is also a highly regarded competition throughout Huaxia.
"Finally, we will announce the 10 finalists for this Autumn Expo. Please bring your vegetables to the backstage shortly for the final expert review."
Following this, the broadcast began listing the finalists one by one: "Zhao Yiyi from Southeast Agricultural University, Yang Lian from Huabei Agricultural Research Institute... Zhai Li from Imperial City University Agricultural College..."
"Lili, it’s no surprise you made it."
The sidekick grinned and complinted.
"Small affair, stay calm."
Zhai Li shrugged. She participated in this kind of competition just for fun, to polish her own image.
"...Chi Youyou from Imperial City University Agricultural College!"
As they finished with their comrcial flattery, Chi Youyou’s na was heard from behind.
The sidekick originally wanted to say sothing, but then saw Zhai Li sneer.
Had she not been shortlisted, it wouldn’t have looked so good for her!
"Let’s go, we need to take the stuff to the backstage."
She said in an extrely cheerful mood.
The sidekick glanced at her, surprised that Zhai Li was so happy about Chi Youyou being shortlisted?
She didn’t quite understand and didn’t dare to ask, swallowing back all her questions.
"Chi Youyou?"
Mr. Song was strolling around the venue when he heard the na Chi Youyou over the broadcast at last.
He asked curiously with a murmur.
"Yes, Grandpa Song, Youyou is very impressive. I heard that usually, very few freshn participate in the Autumn Expo. This ti our school has two: the Zhai family’s young miss, Zhai Li, and Youyou."
Fang Yifei explained casually, with a hint of praise for Chi Youyou in her words.
Mr. Song gave her another look.
This young lady is truly sothing; despite detesting soone completely, she can still speak highly of them.
He sighed helplessly in his heart. Being old, he preferred not to involve himself in the affairs of young people, as long as this Fang girl didn’t cross any lines. Otherwise, even being an old-tir, he would have to teach her a lesson.
Song Xingruo pouted. Only Feifei could swallow her pride and say good things for that hateful Chi Youyou.
The title of fiancée was taken from her; if it were her, she wouldn’t be so lenient, she’d find a way to drive her out of the Imperial City!
"Mom, why are you pinching ?"
Feeling a sudden pain in her waist, Song Xingruo turned to glare at her mother and asked quietly, holding back her temper.
"Wipe that look off your face! Grandpa seems rather fond of that pesky girl right now. Who knows if he’s under so spell!"
"Really?"
Song Xingruo whispered to Fang Ying as they walked behind the others.
Fang Ying nodded at Song Xingruo, "Even if you’re pretending, keep it up in front of your grandpa, you hear !"
"Got it! But I think Grandpa will soon change his mind!"
"You better handle your own ss. I don’t want to clean up after you!"
Fang Ying understood her daughter’s temperant, knowing she wouldn’t call the elders to attend the Autumn Expo for no reason; sothing must be going on!
"What are you two dawdling back there for!"
Mrs. Song shouted, prompting them to catch up quickly.
Backstage.
Zhai Li entered pushing her contest entry vegetables through the door.
"Hello, I’m Zhai Li from Imperial City University College of Agriculture."
"Ah, Zhai Li! Co in, congratulations on being shortlisted, just place your items here."
It was Qiu Lin, the host of the competition and director of the Agricultural College, who greeted her.
"Thank you, Professor."
"I rember now. Aren’t you the student who applied to the International Agricultural Research Institute?"
Another teacher in the room exclaid, finally recognizing her na.
The whole venue had been buzzing about this for days.
Primarily because today, the director of the International Agricultural Research Institute was also to attend.
"Yes, Professor, but I’m still in the application phase and haven’t joined yet."
"It’s already impressive. We don’t even qualify to apply."
"Thank you, Professor. I still have much to learn and hope for your guidance."
Being a family-trained heir, Zhai Li was quite adept at putting on airs when she wasn’t in a bad mood.
Especially in front of these professors, she appeared as an obedient student, with just an occasional hint of pride, since she believed she was worthy, as she had the credentials for it.
After all, she was the heiress of a major agricultural enterprise!
"Sorry to interrupt, hello Professors, I’m Chi Youyou from Imperial City University College of Agriculture."
At this point, Chi Youyou gently opened the door and was greeted with Zhai Li’s bright smile.
Tsk, enemies do indeed et on narrow roads.
Fate sohow always brings them together.
Zhai Li was montarily stunned on seeing her but kept her smile intact.
"Congratulations, Chi Youyou, on being shortlisted. Just set your things over here."
The host professionally guided her.
"Imperial City University indeed has many talents. Has this Chi applied to the International Agricultural Research Institute?"
The inquiring professor was just curious, mainly because there was a lot of controversy surrounding this Chi Youyou this ti.
No hidden agenda, just wanted to ask.
International Agricultural Research Institute?
"Chi, the professor is asking you."
Zhai Li intentionally pointed out, eyes glimring with satisfaction.
Chi Youyou snapped back and shook her head.
"Makes sense, not just anyone can apply to the International Agricultural Research Institute. Look at , at my age, I don’t even qualify, but you’re still young, Chi. You have plenty of opportunities ahead, don’t give up! Keep striving!"
The assisting professor, a bit older, had mixed feelings about Chi Youyou from outside, but was personally optimistic about her and didn’t want her to stray, so he encouraged her a bit.
"Thank you, Professor, I’ll strive even harder!"
Feeling the sincerity from the professor, Chi Youyou smiled and made a cheering gesture.
But to Zhai Li, this gesture seed utterly ridiculous.
That’s the International Agricultural Research Institute, not just another vegetable plot; it’s not a place you can enter just by working hard!
Seriously, bumpkin, stop dreaming there!
