He had come driving a tractor since they needed a lot of seeds for all those fields, and this batch of seeds was collectively purchased by the town. But their team had also paid for the seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the seeds were bad, it would affect the harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then many of the team members might go hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he turned around, pulled out a bag of seeds from the tractor bed, lifted it, and immediately felt something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To the county town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t planted them yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s talk to the secretary first; we can’t go over his head to the county town,” Captain Zhao said, frowning deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s ask him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Zhang left his nephew in charge of the seeds while they carried a bag to the secretary’s office, barely avoiding being blocked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Secretary, Secretary…..”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Ren heard the noise outside; many teams were coming to collect seeds that day, but none should have caused a ruckus all the way to his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Ren then saw two team leaders and a young man enter his office, placing a bag of seeds before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is the matter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The seeds are not right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Ren’s face changed for a moment before quickly returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked them to open the bag and take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they opened the seed bag, they immediately found something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, come in…..”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Ren’s face abruptly changed, for the seeds were usually plump and large, but this batch showed signs of nutritional deficiency, inferior seeds — it was obvious what planting them would entail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Secretary, you called for me.” Suddenly, a scholarly-looking young man entered, his gaze briefly sweeping over Zhao Tianlei and the others before turning to Secretary Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who purchased this batch of seeds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Lin, sir.

Will they even sprout?” asked Secretary Ren, his expression becoming unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>",672,"2026-06-06T07:30:15.937Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c5f8daa534eda80ac028eac0768c0cae2f3d842fc93afb208c74cb45ac4e1c2","she-lives-well-with-the-shopping-app-in-the-80s-chapter-259","she-lives-well-with-the-shopping-app-in-the-80s-chapter-257",1053,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshe-lives-well-with-the-shopping-app-in-the-80s-cover.jpg"]
