Chapter 100: Xia Zhendong's Worries

  "When the soldiers come, we'll block them; when the water comes, we'll hide behind the earth. I've done my part, now it's up to you to carry it out." But then Liang Sanping shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I don't care about this myself, what's there to be afraid of?!"

  Liang Sanping didn't think much of it, anyway, it's already been submitted. Thinking about it again is useless, might as well just go with the flow. Xia Zhendong was most afraid of Liang Sanping's slippery and cunning appearance, but he couldn't do anything about it.

  "What did Old Ye tell you?! How's the matter going?!" Now that things have come to this, what else can Xia Zhendong say?! He could only ask Liang Sanping, what was the situation now.

  Liang Sanping simply introduced the situation. In fact, he didn't know much either, Ye Jianwen hadn't told him how far things had progressed. He just said that recently, he and Liang Sanping would definitely meet again.

  Either Liang Sanping is the emperor of a thousand miles, or Ye Jianwen has come to Qiong Island. Since it's already like this, Liang Sanping thinks it doesn't matter much anyway.

  If someone else brings it up, that's asking for trouble, but if Ye Jianwen and his team go to the higher-ups with it, the chances of getting through will be very high. Moreover, even if there is a dispute, it won't bring too much harm.

  After all, Ye Jianwen and others have different identities, so the results are naturally different. If it was Liang Sanping who proposed it, whether or not to pass would definitely be subject to criticism.

  The vegetable thing has already caused a stir in this special era, and if he still expresses his opinions on such fundamental issues, then Liang Sanping is asking for trouble.

  "Sanping ah! No matter how this matter ends up, you must be extremely careful, careful, and even more careful." However, Xia Zhendong said to Liang Sanping in a low voice: "These things cannot be delayed! If it's really not possible..."

  But then Xia Zhendong gritted his teeth and said in a harsh tone, "If all else fails, you can hide in the academy, at least nothing bad will happen."

  Liang Sanping was moved by Xia Zhendong's words. Old Xia was really considering his own interests, and the two hospitals in South China were not places where anyone could enter at will. Moreover, this was indeed an excellent haven.

  "I've already discussed this with Old Liu and the others. First, you'll need to register as a student at the academy. If something happens later on, you can immediately go to the academy to hide." Xia Zhendong took a deep breath and said: "At least this way, you won't be handed over to them..."

  Xia Zhendong didn't say much after that. Those who had experienced the past decade were extremely sensitive at this time. Many people in later generations thought it was a matter of course, but in this era, it was a taboo.

  How did the small vegetable make the upper layer aware? To a large extent, it was because of the controversy over the route. This controversy did not subside until Liang Sanping left, but it eased a lot.

  But in those ten years, a small dispute could even be a sentence that would make you unable to turn over and have no chance of recovery. Countless people inexplicably said some words, and then fell silent from then on...

  Xia Zhendong and others who have experienced this are extremely sensitive to it. A slight breeze will make them incredibly tense. They have seen many former teachers, classmates, and colleagues fall into the abyss because of a single sentence...

  Fortunately, the two academies in South China have always been crucial to the country and have often received protection and support from higher authorities. As a result, even when some situations arose during those ten years, they were often overcome smoothly.

  At least people are not physically hurt. As long as people are fine, everything is fine. Xia Zhendong thinks so, and Professor Liu Lao and others also think so.

  "It's not that serious, Old Xia! You're all overreacting." Liang Sanping couldn't help but laugh at Xia Zhendong's extremely tense appearance: "I'm not the one in charge of this matter, it's Old Ye and the others who are the main ones. What am I? A small ant on the side that nobody notices..."

  "Three Pings... you have no idea, now you're a celebrity in the Imperial Capital." Xia Zhendong smiled wryly at Liang Sanping: "My former classmates in the Imperial Capital all called me to ask what kind of person you are."

  "You know, I have been in contact with this classmate from time to time. But we never discuss work-related matters. This time, however, he took the initiative to ask me about your situation. Can't you smell something fishy?"

  But then Xia Zhendong took a deep breath and said to Liang Sanping, "You also know the situation of Old Ye and his family. At least others don't dare to bother them casually. Even during the ten years of great chaos, not many people went to trouble them."

  "But what about you?! You don't have the same backing and background as them, just because they can't handle Old Ye doesn't mean they won't be able to handle you! If they really turn their spearhead towards you..."

  Xia Zhendong stopped talking, while Liang Sanping's face gradually became unsightly. What Xia Zhendong said was indeed reasonable, others couldn't handle Ye Jianwen and the like. But that didn't mean they couldn't handle themselves.

  If someone really comes to trouble Liang Sanping because of this matter, it's not necessarily that Liang Sanping can withstand it.

  "It's done, what can they do about it!" Liang Sanping chuckled and said: "At most I'll go back to the mountains of Guangxi Province to farm, and never come out again. Let's see what they can do to me!"

  "You... you... are confused!!" Xia Zhendong was so angry that he pointed at Liang Sanping's nose, his whole body trembling: "Professor Liu and Professor Huang cultivated you. Commissioner Ge helped you like this. Is it just to let you go back to your old home in Guangxi to farm?!"

  "What's going on in that head of yours?! Can't you see the expectations we have for you?!" Xia Zhendong was truly furious this time, pointing at Liang Sanping's nose and scolding him loudly.

  "I told you not to get involved in this matter, but you just wouldn't listen! Are these things something we can intervene in?! We should just focus on running our project honestly and properly, isn't that good enough?! Look at the mess now..."

  Liang San quietly listened to Xia Zhendong's constant scolding of himself, knowing that deep love breeds great responsibility. Xia Zhendong was angry precisely because they had high expectations for themselves.

  Yes, Liang Sanping has changed many things since he came to this era. His "miraculous" performances, combined with his humility and hard work, have made everyone like and appreciate him very much.

  So Prof. Liu, Prof. Huang and Ge Tai have been helping him tirelessly all along. But now, he actually says something like this. How can Xia Zhendong, who has always admired him extremely, not be furious?!

  "If things have reached that point, I can only go back to my hometown in Guangxi Province." Liang Sanping said slowly after Xia Zhendong finished scolding him.

  "I'm the kind of person who often lives on one breath. As long as I have this breath, I can do things at any time. If this breath is gone, then I'm done for. A useless person, what can they do?!"

  But then Liang Sanping patted Xia Zhendong's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Even if I have to go back to my hometown in Guangxi Province, I will do everything I can. I won't be discouraged or ignore it."

  When Liang Sanping said this, Xia Zhendong's face finally looked a bit better. And Liang Sanping smiled at Xia Zhendong and said: "There are some things that I have to do. If I don't do them, it seems like there will be less trouble. But if my mind is not clear, then doing things won't be smooth!"

  Li Sanping took a deep breath and said, "People! Many times you have to rely on this breath to survive. Bowing your head in humility is fine when dealing with elders, peers or subordinates, but if you bow your head to those who bully and oppress you, you may end up bowing your head for the rest of your life! I don't want to do that!!"

  Xia Zhendong fell silent, and he wasn't familiar with Liang Sanping for the first time either. He knew that this kid was a stubborn mule, the kind that wouldn't budge when pulled but would retreat when hit. You had to stroke his fur in the right direction or he'd submit to you. Otherwise, forget about getting him under control.

  No matter what official position or power you use to try to suppress him, it's very likely that all you'll get is for him to turn the table over and walk away in front of you. Once he erupts, he doesn't care about anything.

  Yes, he is that kind of person. But getting angry aside, Liang Sanping has always been straightforward in his work. The work he does, anyone who sees it will have to give a big thumbs up. He's never seen slacking off at any time.

  In the past, when he was in that 50-acre experimental vegetable garden, many old workers on the farm were convinced by him. Others rolled up their sleeves and not only followed you to work but also did better than you, an old-fashioned person.

  What else can be said? So Liang Sanping quickly subdued a group of old workers at that time, there was no way. The skills in their hands were not something that could be bragged about with just one sentence, they had to be done in a down-to-earth manner.

  A leader who can do things, a leader who can do finer work than these workers. You have no room to disrespect him. Liang Sanping has stood firm with his own skills.

  "It's the same old saying, 'when the enemy comes, we'll defend; when the flood comes, we'll dam it.' Liang Sanping burst out laughing and patted Xia Zhendong on the shoulder, saying: "What's the point of thinking so much?! Let's just do it!"

  At this time, a person was seen running from afar. While running, he shouted: "Ping Ge! Ping Ge! You have a telegram, it's from the capital and it's an urgent one!"

  Liang Sanping and Xia Zhendong looked up to see Liu Er Dangzi, Liu Weicheng, running towards them. Since being scolded by Liang Sanping, Liu Weicheng naturally put himself in a subordinate position.

  He thought he was Liang Sanping's little brother, following his big brother to find food.

  "Wei Cheng, how many times have I told you? Don't be so impulsive when doing things, calm down!" With a frown, Liang Sanping hummed at Liu Wei Cheng: "Bring the telegram, let me take a look..."
