Chapter 124: Something Bad Happened In The Grain Fields

Mayor Shen’s right eyelid twitched violently when he heard Qiu Tong’s words.

He thought that Qiu Tong was worried that the locust pesticide would cause a huge commotion and implicate the Qiu family. He hurriedly explained Lin Shan’s situation to her. “Miss Qiu, Miss Lin Shan has already thought of a solution to the locust pesticide problem.”

“The protective gear developed by their factory can prevent the pesticide from making contact with human skin.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to control the spread of the rumors. The discussion about the Qiu family’s locust pesticide won’t continue…”

Mayor Shen was trying his best to please Qiu Tong, wanting to put her at ease.

Lin Shan, on the other hand, became arrogant and smug. She sat at the round table and tilted her head to look at Qiu Tong. She said sarcastically, “Sigh, I beg you, Miss Qiu, please think twice before doing anything in the future. Otherwise, you keep troubling others to clean up after your mess. How annoying…”

“You must have heard the news that Chief Officer Fang and Mayor Shen invited me to dinner and specially came here to claim credit, right?”

Lin Shan fiddled with her nails, not noticing that Chief Officer Fang and Mayor Shen’s faces had turned pale. They stole glances at Qiu Tong’s face, their bodies trembling.

“Stop dreaming! You have no business being here. Go home and take care of your children!”

Lin Shan still wanted to say something, but Mayor Shen suddenly interrupted her fiercely, “Don’t spout nonsense!”

“The locust pesticide developed by Miss Qiu Tong is very helpful to us. The allergies are just a small problem. It’s not worth mentioning…”

Lin Shan looked up in surprise, her gaze wandering between Mayor Shen and Qiu Tong. She retorted indignantly, “What small problem? If not for our protective apparatus being so effective, the farmers would definitely not be able to control the situation with the locust plague now! The higher-ups will blame us!”

As the three of them argued, a subordinate pushed open the door and rushed in.

The subordinate looked at everyone present and tried to slow his breathing as he said to Mayor Shen, “Something bad has happened to the grain fields.”

“The use of protective gear by the farmers solved the problem of the locust pesticide. However, the materials used to make the clothes are very thick and there are very few ventilation holes. The farmers got heat stroke after spraying for a period of time… several men have already fainted and are still unconscious!”

The subordinate glanced at Lin Shan and added, “Also, the weight of the protective suit exceeds all previous standards.”

“The farmers already have to slow down their pace to carry the locust pesticide equipment. With the additional weight of the protective gear, their efficiency is greatly reduced.”

“After the relevant experts examined the scene, they say that if they still can’t find a solution, the locust plague might really spin out of control!”

The subordinate’s words were like an invisible slap to Lin Shan’s face.

Lin Shan was a little embarrassed. She averted her gaze and lifted her chin guiltily. She stubbornly said, “Making protective gear is the only solution!”

“If the protective gear doesn’t work, we can only blame the fact that there’s an issue with the development of the pesticide!”

“Didn’t Qiu Tong say that she has a solution? Why don’t we listen…”

“The Qiu family is always bragging. I wonder if what she says is true this time. Don’t tell me she will get her child to develop a new locust pesticide?”

Lin Shan gritted her teeth and glared at Qiu Tong mockingly, trying to provoke her. She wanted Qiu Tong to be blamed for everything!
