The Farming Livestreamer: I Don't Want to Inherit Billions!-Chapter 286: Something Happened

The next day, Chi Youyou did the same as yesterday. First, she sent Chi Zaozao to school, then she picked fresh carrots, tomatoes, and cabbages and headed to the Autumn Expo.

"Youyou!"

As soon as she got off the car, Ji Changqing ran over.

"Senior, what’s wrong?"

Ji Changqing jogged over, and from afar, she saw Teacher Li Yurong behind him.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and simply recounted what happened in the lounge yesterday.

"What do you think Zhai Li means by this?"

Ji Changqing didn’t understand these tricks. If someone were to tamper with Chi Youyou’s vegetables, he’d surely notice immediately.

But why is the Zhai Family suddenly speaking well for Chi Youyou now!

"It’s very simple, and she’s achieved her goal."

Chi Youyou instantly understood, "You see, Dean Qian is going to find Dean Ji, isn’t he?"

"I kind of get it, but is this all she wants to do?"

Isn’t that making a mountain out of a molehill?

Their department highly recognized Chi Youyou. At most, Dean Qian might have a slightly negative impression of her, and when the expert evaluation comes, they’d be more stringent.

Or perhaps...

Thinking of this, he suddenly paused and exchanged a glance with Chi Youyou.

"It should be as you think."

"If that’s the case, then we have to pay special attention during the expert evaluation this afternoon!"

"Pay attention to what?"

By this time, Li Yurong had already walked over. He glanced at Chi Youyou with complex emotions in his eyes. Could it be Mr. Feng?

Because this was an internal competition, people outside didn’t know about it.

So he thought more than the students did.

Of course, without evidence, he wouldn’t speak carelessly, just thought about it himself.

"It’s nothing, Mr. Li. I was just telling Chi Youyou to strictly control the vegetables she sells and not resort to shortcuts."

Li Yurong agreed, "Chi, although we’ve only known each other for the past two days, I believe that the students from our Agricultural College are not those who resort to shortcuts."

Chi Youyou nodded obediently, already pondering how best to handle this situation later on.

She thought about where they would eventually make an issue of it, and it would likely be the expert evaluation phase.

It’s just unclear what they’ll do!

Forget it, with a clear conscience, there’s no fear of shadows. It’s better to focus on participating in today’s event!

"Teacher Zhao, Senior, I’ll go in and prepare!"

"Ji, Chi shouldn’t be that kind of person, right!"

Li Yurong watched Chi Youyou pulling a small cart, suddenly asking.

He had been quietly observing Chi Youyou for the past two days; she was beautiful, clever, and bold.

If it was just purely selling vegetables, he believed she would be an excellent seller.

But this competition ultimately wasn’t about sales; it was about the vegetables developed, eventually focusing on the vegetables themselves.

That’s also why there’s a two-day cycle.

The competition also values the store’s retention and repurchase rate, whether customers from the first day return to buy on the second. This score is relatively significant.

"Mr. Li, I believe in Chi. There might be some misunderstanding."

"Hmm."

If she were truly someone who resorted to shortcuts, she would likely try to get close to him, given he was the lead teacher for this event. Although he couldn’t help much, small help was possible.

But since joining the competition, Chi Youyou has solely focused on it.

He thought for a moment and shook his head. If he couldn’t figure it out, he decided to stop thinking about it.

Expert Lounge.

"Has Chi Youyou already started?"

Qian Shaobo remained neutral towards Chi Youyou. He had discussed with the dean of Imperial City University and with Mr. Shen.

What surprised him was Mr. Shen’s optimism about Chi Youyou, and the Rong Family’s fruit supplier was her family!

They all knew, and among them, Guan Gui of the Rong Family was famously known in the circles.

But here lies the inconsistency: Liu Yuan mentioned Chi Youyou came from a humble background, needing extra care. Yet now, their family was supplying the Rong Family. Would they be short on money?

"Yes, Dean, and her business has also started. It’s doing well, and the public jury you asked me to investigate yesterday showed no issues, all just regular public jurors."

Qian Shaobo nodded, signaling he understood.

Regardless, being cautious is always advisable.

"Dean, there’s been an incident."

"What happened?"

Qian Shaobo was chatting with his assistant when the regulatory committee of Autumn Expo City received an anonymous report!

"Take a look at this!"

The visitor handed over a tablet, displaying an email.

The report accused judges of accepting bribes!

Qian Shaobo squinted his eyes. This edition of the Autumn Expo had the greatest influence but also the most issues!

"Isn’t this Director Xie from the research institute? Yesterday, apart from others, he was the most impressed by Chi Youyou, and when you left, I overheard him introducing her, full of appreciation."

The assistant saw the name and exclaimed in shock.

"Xiao Meng, be cautious with your words."

Qian Shaobo glanced at him.

"What happened?"

The regulatory committee members asked curiously.

"Nothing. Without any evidence, we mustn’t hastily conclude. Keep this matter confidential for now. Suspend Director Xie’s qualification as a judge temporarily, saying that the expert panel needs adjustments."

"Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"

"Just say that the director of the International Agricultural Research Institute will join the expert evaluation, requiring adjustments in the expert panel."

"So, is the director of the International Agricultural Research Institute really participating?"

Hearing Qian Shaobo’s words, the regulatory committee members were taken aback.

There had been talks suggesting that someone from the International Agricultural Research Institute would participate, likely the director!

But no official statement had been given.

Even when the competition started yesterday, no representatives from the International Agricultural Research Institute were seen.

They had thought it was a deliberately circulated rumor for publicity before.

"Yes, this was confirmed only last night."

Qian Shaobo nodded.

"In that case, we know how to arrange things on our side!"

After the regulatory committee members left, the assistant wanted to say something which Qian Shaobo stopped.

"This matter must be dealt with seriously but not blindly."

Holding their Autumn Expo, such incidents must be severely punished!

But without clear evidence, making arbitrary conclusions could lead to biased treatment of matters, repeating yesterday’s situation.

Reflecting afterward on the internal shift in his judgment, he realized it represented his bias.

This was wrong and needed correction!

No wrongful accusations should be made, nor should anyone be allowed to blatantly disregard rules or intentionally ruin regulations!
