Project Codename

"An appointment?"

Perhaps because he had spent so many brain cells thinking about the Targeted Drug, Xu Yun didn't understand what Yuan Guoliang meant at first.

But soon,

his intelligence, which had long since left his feet, reclaimed the high ground. His eyes widened, and he asked Yuan Guoliang in surprise,

"Teacher Yuan, do you mean an appointment for the Hybrid Rice project?"

"That's right."

Yuan Guoliang nodded with a smile. He glanced at Yang Kaiqu on the bed and, seeing that he wasn't very sleepy, explained in more detail,

"About three days ago, Comrade Lu Cheng from the Ministry of Agriculture spoke with Old Zhou and me over the phone."

"Then yesterday afternoon, an appointment from the higher-ups arrived at the base, assigning Old Zhou and me our tasks."

The Comrade Lu Cheng whom Yuan Guoliang mentioned was the Ministry of Agriculture's second-in-command and a well-known agricultural leader in later years. He made enormous contributions to the country's agricultural development.

Back when people across the country were using Golden Fertilizer and claiming yields of eighteen thousand catties per mu, Lu Cheng was one of the few leaders who insisted that they shouldn't inflate the figures.

Lu Cheng later became the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, which showed how much the organization trusted him.

With that, Yuan Guoliang took a letter from his person and handed it to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun accepted it with both hands.

The flap of the envelope hadn't been sealed with glue, clearly serving as a protective sleeve. Xu Yun opened it directly and took out a neatly folded sheet of white paper.

When he unfolded it,

a line of red text appeared before him:

<Guiding Opinion and Project Proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture on Establishing a Special Hybrid Rice Breeding Group>:
