"It must be your elder brother who's behind all this to have such detailed data!"
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Fenglin's lips faded completely. Although he stared expressionlessly at Young Master Ye, there was apology in his eyes for him.
"Lu Chuanbai must have taken it out on you because of me. I'm really sorry."
Hearing Lu Fenglin's apologetic words, Young Master Ye seized the opportunity and said, "My new mobile phone's reputation was ruined before it even hit the market. You must help me get the GH5 chip!"
"Otherwise, I'm doomed. This project will go down the drain!"
"I know," Lu Fenglin nodded and pondered.
Young Master Ye had worked so hard to help him. Naturally, he should repay Young Master Ye well.
"Don't worry. Lu Chuanbai's turf has all been thrown into the sea. He definitely won't be able to secure this project."
"I will surely help you. I'll help you get the GH5 chip."
In the company, Lu Chuanbai tried to contact nearby turf suppliers, but none of them had enough turf for a hundred - mu field.
Lu Chuanbai dragged his tired body home helplessly. As soon as he opened the door, a sweet and fragrant smell wafted out from the room.
Xu Yiyi, Xu An'an, and Xu Qingqing, who were making desserts in the kitchen, heard the sound of Lu Chuanbai opening the door and quickly ran out to greet him. They also showed Lu Chuanbai the handicrafts they made today.
"Dad, look. This is the maltose we made today."
Like a naughty little monkey, Xu An'an climbed onto Lu Chuanbai and nestled in his arms.
Proudly and complacently, Xu An'an pointed to the golden maltose on the plate in Xu Yiyi's hand for Lu Chuanbai to see.
The maltose was cooked to be crystal - clear, and it looked of excellent quality.
Under the expectant gazes of the two children, Lu Chuanbai gave them a thumbs - up and sincerely praised, "It looks really good. It must be very sweet, right?"
"Of course it is!" Xu Yiyi twisted off a small piece of maltose with chopsticks and held it out to Lu Chuanbai.
"Dad, try it."
Although Lu Chuanbai didn't have a sweet tooth, he couldn't let down the two children's expectations. He took a bite, and the sweet taste melted into his heart.
"It's really delicious."
"Great! It's good that Dad likes it!"
Xu An'an happily slid off Lu Chuanbai and pulled Xu Yiyi's hand as they ran back into the kitchen.
"Brother, let's use the molds to make beautiful shapes for the maltose."
"Okay. I want an Ultraman shape."
"Then I want a little rabbit shape."
The two children ran away merrily. Xu Qingqing stayed behind and looked at the weariness between Lu Chuanbai's brows. She asked him worriedly,
"How's it going? Has the problem from this morning been solved?"
Lu Chuanbai forced a smile and shook his head.
"It's not easy to solve. None of the nearby turf wholesalers have enough supply. I'm afraid I have to try to get the turf from other places."
"We also need to consider the transportation time," Xu Qingqing frowned and helped Lu Chuanbai take off his scarf.
The time was already tight. With the transportation time added, it would be even more rushed.
"There's no other way. We must meet Mr. Smith's requirements," Lu Chuanbai sighed helplessly. He didn't want Xu Qingqing to worry with him, so he smiled and changed the subject, "Why did you decide to make maltose today?"
"It was a handicraft assignment from the kindergarten. The kindergarten teacher helped the kids soak wheat seeds at school. After they germinated, the kids brought them home to make maltose."
Xu Qingqing explained.
"I see. I still have some work to do. I won't keep you company for now."
Lu Chuanbai nodded understandingly, picked up his briefcase, and went upstairs to his study again to try to contact other turf merchants.
Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an used the molds in the kitchen to shape the maltose into various beautiful candies. They were so excited that they wanted to go upstairs to show them to Lu Chuanbai.
Xu Qingqing, who was cooking nearby, stopped them. "You can't go upstairs now. Dad is busy with work."
"Is something wrong with Dad's company?" Xu Yiyi blinked his big, watery eyes and asked Xu Qingqing. "Dad's mood seemed off as soon as he got home."
Children are perceptive, and Xu Yiyi was naturally intelligent. He immediately noticed that Lu Chuanbai was in a bad mood.
Xu Qingqing didn't dismiss Xu Yiyi just because he was a child. Instead, she squatted down and seriously told Xu Yiyi about the company's situation.
"… Dad is facing a very tricky problem now, so you can't bother him. Do you understand?"
Xu An'an nodded half - understandingly. "Mom, I know. I won't bother Dad."
"What a good boy."
Seeing that Xu Yiyi had been frowning and not saying a word, Xu Qingqing thought he was worried about Lu Chuanbai. She gently stroked Xu Yiyi's head.
"Yiyi, don't worry too much. Dad will surely find a way."
Xu Yiyi fluttered his big eyes. With a serious look on his little face, he stared at Xu Qingqing seriously. "Mom, Dad needs to have a hundred - mu field of green grass in three days, right?"
"Yes."
"And there's no specification about what kind of grass, right?"
Although Xu Qingqing found Xu Yiyi's question strange, she still nodded.
"That's right."
"Then I have a solution," Xu Yiyi grinned, showing his white teeth. His eyes shone with a confident and wise light.
The high - spiritedness on Xu Yiyi was something that many young people couldn't match.
Xu Qingqing was slightly surprised and looked at Xu Yiyi seriously. "Xu Yiyi, this is no joking matter. Do you really have a solution?"
"I do have a way to solve it!" Xu Yiyi nodded firmly.
Hearing this, Xu An'an on one side looked at Xu Yiyi with admiration in her eyes.
"Brother is so amazing! He thought of a solution so quickly. What is it? Hurry up and tell An'an!"
Xu Yiyi smiled mysteriously. "An'an, you know this solution too. Remember when we germinated the wheat seedlings in the kindergarten?"
Xu An'an carefully recalled the whole process of the wheat seedlings germinating. Xu Yiyi reminded her beside her.
"Think carefully. How many days did it take from the time the wheat germinated to the time it grew?"
"It took three days!" Xu An'an said in a milky voice, holding up three fingers.
"Correct!" Xu Yiyi clapped his hands to praise Xu An'an and explained to the confused Xu Qingqing.
"As long as we soak the wheat seeds in water overnight, then bury them in the ground and keep them warm with plastic wrap, the seeds can germinate quickly in a very short time and grow green leaves."
Hearing Xu Yiyi's well - organized explanation, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but be stunned. Finally, she couldn't help but give Xu Yiyi a thumbs - up.
"Yiyi, you're so smart! This is really a great idea. Go and tell your dad quickly!"
Xu Qingqing urged Xu Yiyi, and Xu Yiyi ran upstairs excitedly.
When Xu Yiyi saw Lu Chuanbai on the phone, he politely waited outside.
