Hearing this, Hu Jing froze on the spot.
"What? Long-term cooperation? How is that possible?"
Liu Ergou shrugged. "What's so impossible about it?" he asked. "Besides, it's because we have a long-term cooperation agreement that I'm contracting the wasteland to grow herbs. Otherwise, why would I be planting herbs for no reason? Wouldn't it be more profitable to just pick some wild herbs from the mountains and sell them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Jing completely deflated. At that moment, she had only one thought. So, I'm the clown here.
For a moment, Hu Jing was so embarrassed she was speechless, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. She wanted to leave, but just as she was about to take a step, she couldn't bring herself to go.
So she spoke up again. "If my genetically modified corn succeeds, the whole village can plant it! It'll be no problem at all to lead everyone to prosperity!"
"I have..."
However, before she could finish, Liu Ergou interrupted her.
