Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Heart Startling

Qiao Qingyu promised to figure out a solution as soon as possible and then hung up the phone.

She was preparing to go to Xichuan.

Wulong Group’s daily chemical plant was currently under vigorous construction, and she wanted to inquire about the specific prices of plastic films there, knowing that Boss Chen, who was quite cunning, had extensive connections.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t want any unnecessary trouble.

She asked Sister-in-law Li to take care of Rongrong for the day while she took the base’s transport vehicle to Xichuan.

She had contacted Lu Ye in advance, and he happened to be in Xichuan reporting on work; he happily agreed to take her to Wu Tai’s factory to meet Secretary Chang.

Qiao Qingyu also planned to inquire about Wu Xiujie’s situation with Secretary Chang.

When she arrived in Xichuan, it was just noon, and Lu Ye was waiting at the entrance of the Xichuan office; he had ridden a bicycle.

With a simple shirt and pants, delicate features, and a tall, slender figure, he attracted the attention of quite a few girls.

"After we eat, we’ll head to the factory." After speaking, Lu Ye patted the back seat of his bike, "Hop on, I’ll give you a ride."

Then he scratched the back of his head, and said apologetically, "I don’t have a company car at my level yet, so you’ll have to make do with the bicycle for now, as the factory is in the suburbs and there are no public buses yet."

Qiao Qingyu turned to look at the main entrance, where the truck she had hitched a ride with had already left. And since it was a base vehicle on a transport mission, she just hitched a ride and didn’t feel right asking them to drop her at the chemical plant.

Qiao Qingyu smacked her lips, regretfully saying, "I should have driven a tractor here."

Lu Ye laughed, "Give me a break, you, drive a tractor? Come on, let’s go have lunch."

Qiao Qingyu didn’t make a fuss. She sat on the back seat of Lu Ye’s bicycle, holding onto the edge of the seat, and then Lu Ye pedaled forward. Not far ahead, there was an alley with a restaurant known for its delicious meals. He planned to take Qiao Qingyu there for lunch first and then head to the chemical plant together.

As they turned around a corner, a jeep came towards them.

Originally, it seemed that the bicycle and the jeep would just pass each other, but the jeep suddenly stopped, and its door opened. After all, the speed of a jeep and a bicycle cannot be compared; the jeep had driven a certain distance, but the bicycle was not far away.

Qiao Qingyu then heard a smooth, familiar voice behind her, "Comrade Little Qiao."

Qiao Qingyu quickly looked back, only to see He Xiuyu standing beside the jeep, smiling gently at her.

Apart from a call a few days ago when he mentioned his mother was out of critical condition, they hadn’t spoken again, and Qiao Qingyu hadn’t expected He Xiuyu to have returned.

Joy still showed between Qiao Qingyu’s brows.

Lu Ye heard He Xiuyu’s voice too, dismounted the bicycle, and Qiao Qingyu had already hopped off.

He Xiuyu didn’t stay put but leisurely walked towards Qiao Qingyu, nodding with a smile to Lu Ye who was pushing the bicycle, then turned to Qiao Qingyu, "What brings you to Xichuan; did you know I was back?"

"How could I know you’re back if you didn’t call me?" Qiao Qingyu playfully glared at him but still asked softly, "Has everything been resolved at home?"

He Xiuyu nodded, "Yes, everything is settled." Then he continued, "Where are you and Lu Ye off to?"

"This morning, Boss Chen called to say he had found a batch of plastic films, but the price was very high, plus he mentioned they were being brought over from across the river, which made me feel unsure. So, I decided to visit Wulong Group’s chemical plant and consult Secretary Chang about the specific prices of the plastic films."

"Then I’ll come with you."

Qiao Qingyu turned to look at Lu Ye and noticed that Lu Xiaopang’s complexion didn’t look very good; he seemed quite embarrassed.

He Xiuyu was of a much higher rank than him, and his achievements were also superior, not to mention that it seemed the jeep was specifically to take He Xiuyu back to the base.

Taking a jeep to the chemical plant?

Just as Qiao Qingyu was about to speak, He Xiuyu gently said, "I’ll go and borrow a bicycle from Director Zhao..." He then smiled and explained, "I also hitched a ride in this jeep."

It had to be said, He Xiuyu was a very prudent person, and sometimes, he made people feel refreshed; at least Lu Ye’s complexion improved quite a bit.

He Xiuyu clearly knew that Lu Ye had feelings for Qiao Qingyu, yet he acted as if he knew nothing and was also very gentle towards Lu Ye. During the meal, the three of them even started talking about the Seed Breeding Center.

He Xiuyu told Qiao Qingyu that the test results for the Barley Grass were out, inside his briefcase, and he would show them to her once he got home.

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, "Can’t I take a look?"

He Xiuyu, who was very good-natured, opened his briefcase and handed a folder to Lu Ye.

"This is public information; you can certainly take a look."

Lu Ye hadn’t expected He Xiuyu to agree so readily, but he was indeed interested in the test results of the Barley Grass.

After all, he had also had a major part in this.

Naturally, the test results were authoritative, and the data was excellent. Qiao Qingyu also took a look and could not but admire them; the scientists had indeed discerned all the merits of the Barley Grass Seeds cultivated in the Space Laboratory.

However, there were still some other characteristics that would need to be tested and compared against the next batch of mature seeds.

And actual cultivation research monitoring was also required.

But even so, Qiao Qingyu was amazed.

Yet, for some reason, at this moment, Qiao Qingyu had a reckless thought.

If she worried about this and that, then she should do nothing now, just stay quietly at home or simply shut herself in her Seed Laboratory and go into business.

In this era, with the experience and vision of the next few decades, wanting to venture into business and become China’s first billionaire was not an issue; she could even possibly become a world leader in the fields of electronic technology and finance.

But now, she had no interest in these; she just wanted to see what she could turn Xichuan into.

As for flaws, Qiao Qingyu was too lethargic to consider them anymore.

After riding for nearly an hour, they reached the chemical plant, and it happened that Secretary Chang was in the office.

When the exploratory team had visited the wasteland to check the thousand silk hemp, she had met Secretary Chang.

Lu Ye and Secretary Chang were acquainted; after mutual introductions, Secretary Chang took Qiao Qingyu and He Xiuyu to the workshop that was not yet completed, pointing to the equipment being transported in, he said, "This is the production line, which if put into operation, will produce over eight thousand tons of plastic film per year."

In this era, this production volume was already quite substantial.

Qiao Qingyu mentioned the price given by Boss Chen, and Secretary Chang, frowning, said, "That is indeed very expensive, but if it is coming from across the border, one must also be cautious whether it’s smuggled goods or not."

This reminder was timely, and Qiao Qingyu sincerely thanked Secretary Chang.

Secretary Chang looked at Qiao Qingyu, seemingly hesitant to speak, but Qiao Qingyu indeed had some questions to ask him, so she said, "Secretary Chang, can we go to your office? I have something I’d like to discuss with you."
