The five friends had fun at Liuyue Hot Spring Villa until sunset, finally parting ways reluctantly to go home.
The next day, Lin Yan paid his third visit.
This time, he was there for the Moonlight Grass.
In Villa 1 of Xingyu Mansion, Lin Yan sat across from Yun Zijin.
"Miss Yun, I trust you’ve already guessed the purpose of my visit?"
Lin Yan himself hadn’t expected to be the one to proactively seek out Yun Zijin three times in a row.
"Mr. Lin, please speak freely."
As a rule, Yun Zijin preferred to be direct. She was no good at the kind of verbal sparring where a single sentence could carry several meanings.
"You’re a straightforward person, Miss Yun. Last time, at the Jade Lake District, we discovered the presence of Moonlight Grass.
After I reported my findings, I also got a plant from Housekeeper Wang to take back. Following a period of study, our researchers discovered that Moonlight Grass has an excellent function: it absorbs fine dust particles from the air.
This would be immensely helpful for improving air quality, so we hope to purchase a batch from you, Miss Yun, to conduct larger-scale experiments."
After all, they had only taken back a single plant, so there was a chance its properties were an anomaly.
Before rolling it out on a larger scale, they had to ensure this function was a universal trait of all Moonlight Grass.
"Rest assured, we don’t expect you to provide the experimental plants for free."
With so many resources across the country, they weren’t so shameless as to ask a young woman who had only been an adult for a few years to just hand over the plants for free.
"It absorbs dust from the air?"
’Yun Zijin herself hadn’t even known Moonlight Grass had this function. You had to hand it to Hua Country’s scientists.’
"Correct. The Moonlight Grass glows at night, likely because it absorbs a sufficient amount of dust during the day."
Otherwise, there was no way to explain where the absorbed dust particles went.
"I do have some more seeds, but not a large quantity."
Lately, Yun Zijin had been delegating all the system’s spending tasks to Mei Lin, and she hadn’t taken a close look at the rewards she’d received in a while. Still, she had a general idea of what she possessed.
She had later received about ten packs of Moonlight Grass Seeds, each containing roughly 2,000 seeds.
’It sounded like a lot, but it wouldn’t cover that much ground if she actually planted them all.’
"That’s fine. We’ll take as many as you have!"
He was actually here on behalf of the Agricultural Research Institute this time. The reasoning was that since he had already visited twice, he was at least a familiar face.
The old folks at the Agricultural Research Institute had been bickering nonstop about the Moonlight Grass lately. If he returned empty-handed, there was no telling what kind of tongue-lashing he would receive.
"I do have more seeds. However, as you should know, Mr. Lin, I’m not short on money."
’This might be an opportunity,’ Yun Zijin thought.
Hearing this, Lin Yan felt his scalp tingle with apprehension.
’Usually, when someone says they don’t want money, they propose the most outlandish conditions.’
"Please be direct, Miss Yun. If it’s something I can do, I will certainly do my best."
’If it can’t be done, then there’s nothing for it.’
Yun Zijin glanced at Mei Lin, who was sitting beside her.
Mei Lin took the hint, placing the proposal she had concerning the Xia Group’s land in the South Suburb on the table and pushing it toward Lin Yan.
Lin Yan knew Yun Zijin wanted him to look at the proposal.
Flipping to the first page, he saw the name "Xia Group" and a list of community amenities that were praised to the high heavens.
"The Xia Family? You know them?"
This was a perfect example of being out of the loop. Lin Yan was completely unaware of the bad blood between Yun Zijin and the Xia Family.
"Oh, their project failed, so they want to transfer the land to me."
Upon hearing Yun Zijin’s words, Lin Yan’s eyelid twitched. He suddenly had an ominous feeling.
