Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

As soon as he finished speaking, a neatly dressed, refined-looking middle-aged man appeared at the door. He was carrying several bulging net bags containing Moutai liquor, tin cans, pastry bags, and two pieces of cured meat wrapped in oil paper.

After asking his question, Commander Feng realized the atmosphere in the room was off. His gaze swept around, first landing on the two officers, and he asked with some surprise, "Director Zhang, Section Chief Li, you're here too?"

Then, his gaze fell on Su Wanqing, and a smile immediately appeared on his face—but before he could speak, he was hurriedly interrupted by Director Zhang.

The argument inside the house stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at the guest who had suddenly appeared.

Director Zhang's expression changed, but he forced a smile and went to greet him: "Commander Feng, what brings you here? Didn't you go to Ili Prefecture for a visit? There were quite a few worthwhile places to visit there..."

This was a "tight schedule" he had specially arranged for the inspection team, intending for them to quickly finish their visit within the group and head directly to the prefecture to avoid any unforeseen complications. However, he never expected that the head of the inspection team, Director Feng, would not leave with the main group but instead return alone, carrying so many gifts!

While signaling to Section Chief Li for help, he tried to usher Commander Feng outside: "Commander Feng, you're too kind, bringing so many things... We're all people's cadres, we can't accept gifts. Please take these things back. Is there anything you need here? Let's talk outside?"

He hadn't heard what Commander Feng said when he entered because of the argument, and now he felt uneasy. He just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible—he naturally assumed that Commander Feng was a leader from the Central Committee and only knew them here, so the gift was naturally for them.

To everyone's surprise, Commander Feng frowned, stood still, gently brushed aside Director Zhang's hand, turned around and handed the pile of things in his hand directly to Su Wanqing.

Commander Feng said sincerely, "I didn't go with the main force because I suddenly fell ill on the train and almost died—it was Dr. Su Wanqing who saved me. I wanted to thank her then, but Dr. Su didn't accept anything, only saying that she worked at the Corps' medical station. Since she's here again today, I have to thank her in person. These things are for Dr. Su."

He looked at Su Wanqing with a genuine smile: "Dr. Su, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't refuse. No matter how valuable these things are, they can't compare to a life. I didn't expect you to be here, which saves me the trouble of asking around."

Everyone in the room was stunned, their expressions varied.

Liu Shuqing was still a little confused: This Commander Feng... was the head of the inspection team? And he actually said that Dr. Su was his savior? And now he's even come here with lavish gifts to express his gratitude?

Wait, wait, then wouldn't this mean—

Su Wanqing was also somewhat surprised, but then a thought struck her—so the clues for the space should be here!

"No wonder they say there's a causal relationship, it really is... even God couldn't stand it anymore and came to help."

She accepted the gift with grace, and seeing that the giver was genuinely grateful, she smiled and said frankly, "Commander Feng, it was just a small favor on the train; I'm glad I could help you. But I'd like to ask—are you the head of the central inspection team that's here to inspect alfalfa seeds?"

Seeing that she had accepted the gift, Commander Feng felt much more at ease and nodded with a smile: "Indeed. You've done an excellent job! You know, in the past, we had to import alfalfa seeds that could yield 3,000 jin per mu, costing a lot of foreign exchange every year. We've seen your seeds that yield 4,000 jin per mu, and they're growing incredibly well! Once this is widely adopted, it will allow us to feed more livestock with less land. Next year alone, it's estimated to generate over a million yuan more in revenue for the entire region, benefiting tens of thousands of people!"

His tone was enthusiastic, but he was completely unaware that the atmosphere in the room had quietly reversed.

At this moment, Director Zhang and Section Chief Li's faces were extremely pale, turning ashen.

They never expected that the original plan to have the inspection team skip the grassroots level and directly "inspect" would take such a turn—the person who saved his life, who was also the core developer of this alfalfa seed, not only turned the tables on the inspection team leader but also saved his life!

This isn't just kicking a metal plate, it's crashing into a steel plate.

Director Zhang took a deep breath, suddenly raised his voice, and said with a broad smile, "Commander Feng is right! Comrade Su is not only a highly skilled doctor, but also an outstanding scientific researcher with high awareness and great contributions!"

He turned to Su Wanqing, his tone earnest, "Comrade Su Wanqing, in view of your outstanding performance in alfalfa research, our unit has decided to add to your commendation—in addition to the previously promised honors, we will also award you the title of 'Provincial Agricultural Science and Technology Pioneer' and a cash reward of one thousand yuan. Furthermore, we intend to appoint you as a special consultant to the Wucheng Agricultural Technology Guidance Group, with corresponding allowances and benefits."

He spoke quickly, looking at Su Wanqing with an almost pleading expression, hoping to shut her up and calm things down with these conditions.

Commander Feng looked at Su Wanqing with some surprise, not expecting her to be the developer of alfalfa seeds. He was even more surprised by Director Zhang's suddenly increased reward: "Director Zhang, isn't this reward... a bit too much?"

"Not at all, not at all, Comrade Su is perfectly suited for it!" Director Zhang quickly waved his hand, his gaze still fixed on Su Wanqing, his voice low and almost pleading, "Comrade Su, what do you think? What we said before still stands, we don't need anything else... is that alright?"

Please, just please don't reveal what just happened!

In just a few minutes, the tone changed abruptly.

Just moments ago, Director Zhang was calm and collected, using both soft and hard tactics, but now he was covered in cold sweat, his eyes filled with panic and pleading.

Liu Shuqing, Chen Xiuer, and Old Shen were dumbfounded, feeling that the situation had changed so quickly that it was dazzling.

Only Su Wanqing remained calm. She turned to Commander Feng and said frankly, "Commander Feng, this reward is indeed too much for me. Director Zhang only said that to shut me up."

She paused for a moment, then said, "You probably don't know this, but I'm not only a participant in the research and development of alfalfa seeds that yield 4,000 jin per mu, our team has also successfully cultivated alfalfa that yields 5,000 jin per mu. The experimental fields have already been harvested, and the data is conclusive."

"What?! Five thousand jin?!" Commander Feng gasped, taking a step forward abruptly. "Comrade Su, you can't just say things like that! If it really is five thousand jin, this would be a revolutionary breakthrough, solving so many pastoral feed problems! Why didn't you report this earlier?"
