Chapter 123: Solution
Mayor Shen looked a little nervous. He put on an official tone and reprimanded the Lu siblings. “You need to be certified by the government to sell locust pesticide.”
“The pesticide can only be sold after the tests show that the content and effects are satisfactory. Now, quickly pack up the things on the ground and go back to wait for news!”
Mayor Shen looked at Lu Zhiling’s slightly dissatisfied expression. He was afraid that she would say something that would make Qiu Tong unhappy, so he frowned as he hinted at her.
“Gathering a crowd and inciting a riot. If the situation is serious, you will be arrested!”
“Besides, you’re all adults. How can you target and bully kindergarteners? This is ridiculous!”
Mayor Shen reprimanded Lu Sheng and Lu Zhiling before sending someone to disperse everyone…
Although Lu Zhiling was unwilling, she had no choice but to obey and leave.
Through the rearview mirror, Lu Sheng saw Mayor Shen asking about the condition of the Qiu family children with concern. He even wanted to send them to the hospital for a checkup. He could not help nudging Lu Zhiling’s arm. Pointing out the window, he said, “Look at Mayor Shen’s expression when he gazes at Qiu Tong!”
“He had the same look in his eyes when he first got together with you!”
Lu Zhiling frowned and turned to look at Mayor Shen. She widened her eyes when she saw him respectfully escorting Qiu Tong into his private car.
Lu Sheng nagged, “Mayor Shen hasn’t been coming to look for you as much lately. Maybe he’s tired of you and has lost interest in you!”
“In this situation, we have to quickly extort a sum from him. Otherwise, it will be too late!”
Lu Zhiling also thought that Mayor Shen had taken a liking to Qiu Tong and wanted to take her as his lover. Her beautiful face twisted.
Her eyes flickered with resentment and viciousness as she muttered, “Qiu Tong! Just you wait…”
…
Over the past few days, Qiu Tong had been repairing aircraft in the abandoned military base every day.
The more time those officers spent with her, the more they understood that Qiu Tong was truly capable. The initial contempt in their hearts was completely wiped away. They now often gathered around Qiu Tong to help her, trying to secretly learn some of her skills.
“Miss Qiu, are you really going to use these helicopters that you modified for agriculture?”
“This is such a waste. They’re all combat machines! The guns and cannons on them are all good to use.”
After getting to know Qiu Tong better, one of the officers voiced his regrets when he heard her motive.
Qiu Tong was busy modifying the storage box that would be filled with pesticide. She had also repaired the gun barrel. She said softly, “It’s not like there’s only one use for planes. It’s just that I need them for the locusts now.”
The officer did not understand. He pretended to be impressed and handed the wrench over…
At the protective gear factory in the suburbs, the first batch of protective apparatus was produced and sent to the farmers’ homes.
The farmers wore the thick protective gear to spray the locust pesticide as they walked in their grain fields. As expected, this temporarily resolved the allergy problem.
The citizens of S City once again threw themselves into destroying the locusts, and the discussion about the Qiu family gradually died down.
As the protective gear had played a key role in the battle against the locusts, Mayor Shen and Chief Officer Fang specially invited Lin Shan to dinner.
Lin Shan deliberately changed into her most alluring dress and put on her precious pearl earrings. She proudly raised her glass and clinked it with Chief Officer Fang’s. “It’s our duty to help the government solve its problems. You’re too kind!”
Chief Officer Fang was just about to praise Lin Shan in front of Mayor Shen, but one of the service staff gently pushed open the door and said, “Sorry, there’s a Miss Qiu who wants to come in. She said she has something to tell you…”
Mayor Shen and Chief Officer Fang looked at each other and hurriedly stood up from their chairs to adjust their clothes, before letting the service staff bring Qiu Tong in.
At this moment, the hearts of the two officials were thumping. They guessed Qiu Tong’s motive for this visit and were slightly nervous.
Lin Shan frowned. She found their reaction strange.
Qiu Tong pushed the door open and was not surprised to see Lin Shan. She just looked at Chief Officer Fang and Mayor Shen and said calmly, “I’ve already found a solution to the allergy problem and a way to curb the speed at which the locust plague is spreading.”
