As expected, the Planters Association issued a statement, proving that Rong Shichu had indeed grown a new variety of plant. The new plant was named breadfruit tree, and the fruit was round and spherical, with strong satiety and high mental soothing properties. They also praised this as an epoch-making event and thanked Rong Shichu for his great contribution to the plant world...
The appearance of this statement was like a drop of water dropped into a frying pan, which exploded instantly. Not only was the Star Internet boiling with excitement, but many people in real life were also discussing this matter.
Rong Shichu knew how much of a shock this incident would cause, so she went back to staying at home and didn't go out at all.
She uploaded the certification certificate given to her by the Planters Association to her online store, and put breadfruit, breadfruit seeds and seedlings back on the shelves for sale, but the price was very low so that ordinary people could afford it. In order to prevent people from buying in large quantities and becoming middlemen, Rong Shichu also set a limit on purchases, and only one copy could be purchased with one ID.
Her purpose this time was not to make money, but to promote the breadfruit tree as quickly as possible, so the price was set very low.
With the certification provided by the Planters Association, the online store was naturally unblocked, and Rong Shichu announced it on the social forum:
The "Under the Banyan Tree" plant online store has reopened, and the fruits, seeds and seedlings of new plants are officially on sale. Interested customers are welcome to purchase.
A few more photos were uploaded later, showing the mature, spherical breadfruit and the lovely green seedlings.
Rong Shichu even specially circled Ye Mu's latest statement explaining her online store. This young master felt guilty for bringing misfortune to her, and he has been refuting rumors for her on Starnet these days.
She refreshed the page again and found that many comments had appeared under her post, all asking about new plants.
Rong Shichu glanced at it a few times and stopped reading. She directly forwarded the statement issued by the Breadfruit Association, which also included an analysis of the various components of breadfruit. It was detailed and thorough, and could fully satisfy the curiosity of the public.
Even though Rong Shichu had consciously isolated herself from the outside world, as soon as the Planters Association issued the statement, her Star Brain was almost blown up by many unknown calls. When Rong Shichu didn't answer, those people started sending her messages. In a short while, she received hundreds of messages from unknown sources on her Star Brain.
"Dear Miss Rong, I am Li Jiaming, the chairman of Hongyun Group. I wonder if you are free this Saturday night? I sincerely invite you to attend the business dinner of Hongyun Group..."
"Respected Miss Rong, you are so amazing. I heard that you are the descendant of Master Rong Shiting. When Master Rong was alive, he was a good friend of my grandfather..."
"Ms. Rong Shichu, I am very interested in the new plants you have grown. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to come and visit you?"
…
A series of strangers who had no connection with her got Rong Shichu's number from nowhere and started to establish connections with her, flatter her, pursue her, and even claim to be her lost relatives...
Rong Shichu finally experienced what it meant to be "rich in the mountains, yet have distant relatives; poor in the city, no one cares about you." Her eyes were opened, and she realized in a new way how thick-skinned humans are.
Rong Shichu was so annoyed that he simply set up a setting to block messages and contacts from unknown calls.
The Star Brain finally had some peace and quiet, but it still couldn't escape the headlines of the news that were automatically pushed by the Star Network:
《After 4,600 years! A new plant was rediscovered! 》
"The Planters Association announces the birth of a new plant, and the hero is the descendant of Master Rong Shiting"
"Rong Family Valley Ascension! New Plant Breadfruit Tree Discovered, Its Life Is Not Over Yet"
Rong Shichu - the man who gave birth to the breadfruit tree and a hero of the times
…
These were the titles of articles published by more formal news media, but there were also some gossip and entertainment articles that focused on digging out Rong Shichu's life anecdotes. As a result, all kinds of things about Rong Shichu's school days were dug out, and even Xie Tianlang, her ex-boyfriend who she had almost forgotten, was investigated clearly.
"Rong Shichu was disappointed in love but successful in career, and his discovery of a new plant went down in history; Xie Tianlang was blind, lost the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, and cheated on his girlfriend and will be infamous forever!"
Come on, this entertainment media, which is not sure whether it is famous or not, is really good. Not only did they investigate clearly the facts of Xie Tianlang's two-timing, fickleness, and vanity, but they even came up with a well-balanced title. They are really talented.
But Rong Shichu looked at the long title and felt so embarrassed that she almost dug a hole in the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with her toes. Although this completely exposed the scumbag to the public, she didn't want to be associated with his name. He didn't deserve it.
Rong Shichu took off the Star Brain, threw it on the sofa and left it there.
But after a while, the Star Brain started to move again. This was the ringtone she had specially set for Ke Tingfan. In the end, she lazily picked up the Star Brain again and answered Ke Tingfan's holographic call.
"Are you okay? Are there a lot of people disturbing you?" Ke Tingfan's handsome face immediately appeared in front of Rong Shichu and asked worriedly.
"It's true that there are a lot of them, but I have blocked people I don't know, so there is no trouble for now." Rong Shichu sighed and said, "I don't know when this matter will calm down."
Ke Tingfan looked at her tired face and said distressedly, "How about I ask someone to suppress this news?"
"Can you suppress it?" Rong Shichu asked with some surprise.
"It can't be suppressed completely, but those gossips that are too outrageous can be suppressed." Ke Tingfan looked at Rong Shichu steadily, "For example, your ex-boyfriend..."
Hearing his words, Rong Shichu laughed immediately. This man said so much, and his ultimate goal was this, right? It was really hard for him to express his jealousy in a roundabout way.
Ke Tingfan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her chuckle, but he quickly straightened himself out and asked her directly, "Is Xie Tianlang really your ex-boyfriend, and did he abandon you?"
Rong Shichu nodded and said, "Yes, at that time he despised me for not having power and influence and being unable to help him, so he found a girlfriend who could save him decades of hard work."
"He's really blind, but it's a good thing he has no vision, otherwise why would you be with me?" Ke Tingfan was suddenly relieved, and then asked awkwardly, "So... do you still care about him now?"
Rong Shichu glanced at him and said in an incredible tone: "Why would you ask such a question? Now that I have a perfect man like you, how can I still be interested in him? If the tabloids hadn't dug him up, I would have almost forgotten what he looked like!"
Rong Shichu's words immediately made Ke Tingfan's discomfort disappear instantly, and was replaced by joy and sweetness spreading from the bottom of his heart. A sincere and dazzling smile appeared on his usually cold face, and when Rong Shichu saw it, his eyes became obsessed.
