Unexpectedly, Fan Qianqian also considered this point.
Chen Weiyi keenly sensed the tension in the air and lightly coughed, "He’ll be home in a while, you can sit and rest for a bit."
Zhao Sirui wore a smile that felt as refreshing as a spring breeze, "Mr. Chen, I want to ask you a few questions."
Chen Weiyi sat down, "Go ahead."
Zhao Sirui’s smile remained unchanged, "Earlier, when I came in, I saw a plaque on the door that reads ’Pioneer of the New Era.’ Can you tell me when that was put up?"
Mentioning this matter, Chen Weiyi’s eyes revealed contemplation. He thought carefully and then spoke in a somewhat uncertain tone, "That was quite a while ago. If I remember correctly, it was September 1st."
Zhao Sirui nodded and continued, "From what I understand, ’Pioneer of the New Era’ is intended to recognize the contributors who first uploaded the prerequisites for Pet Beast advancement. So Mr. Chen Wenhao made contributions back then?"
Chen Weiyi was taken aback and said in surprise, "Wenhao? No, no, this was achieved by his brother."
"Hmm?"
Zhao Sirui’s originally calm face clearly showed a trace of bewilderment, which was keenly captured by the observant Fan Qianqian.
Zhao Sirui obviously hadn’t anticipated Chen Weiyi’s answer. She was about to inquire further when she heard the lively sounds of drums and firecrackers from outside the farm.
The sound grew closer, and Chen Weiyi quickly stood up, walked out of the courtyard, and looked up to see - the village chief of Xuanhe Village, Director Song Guohao, along with a crowd of villagers gathering around several middle-aged men who seemed to be leaders slowly approaching, with the two in the middle holding a gleaming plaque with four grand characters on it - "Academic Pioneer."
Chen Weiyi was momentarily stunned, lucky that Zhou Xu was also in the group, who hurriedly ran over to explain, "Advisor Chen has achieved another honor; the president of Baokun City came specially to celebrate."
Chen Weiyi felt a sense of realization. He suddenly recognized the leader, who was often featured on television, as President Wang Jianping.
Seeing this lively scene, Zhao Sirui and Fan Qianqian simultaneously sensed a hotspot and stood up, with two cameras aimed at the bustling crowd.
Seeing the situation, Zhao Sirui couldn’t help but sigh, "I hadn’t expected Baokun City Beastmaster Association to be this fast. The paper was just approved yesterday, and today the plaque has already been delivered."
Hearing this, the corners of Fan Qianqian’s lips slightly curved up.
After the plaque was hung, Zhao Sirui was ready to seize the chance to interview the local president, but saw Wang Jianping had already turned to face the people of Xuanhe Village, immediately surrounded by the local media.
He smiled and spoke loudly, "Here, I want to thank Xuanhe Village, thank you all."
Wang Jianping scanned the crowd one by one, his voice echoing halfway through the farm, as the little ones all came out to join the fun, "Advisor Chen’s current success is inseparable from all of you and from the environment he grew up in."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sirui’s eyebrows furrowed, stopping in place.
Wang Jianping’s voice continued to resonate, "This time, Advisor Chen’s academic achievements have caused a tremendous stir across the entire academic community, with an impact so profound it will leave an indelible mark in the academic world."
"Today, we’re proud because of Advisor Chen."
Zhao Sirui’s eyebrows furrowed deeper, muttering to herself, "Advisor Chen’s academic achievement?"
Shouldn’t it be Chen Wenhao?
Fan Qianqian slowly approached her, the corners of her mouth raised, her voice upbeat, "Let me tell you something."
"A few days ago, Advisor Chen uploaded the prerequisites for Flame Cloud Falcon commanding to Morning Star Quality, and it has already passed the review. The official announcement is estimated to be released soon."
Zhao Sirui’s eyes widened suddenly.
Fan Qianqian’s smile grew even wider, "Both of these plaques were won by Advisor Chen. He’s not only a powerful beastmaster but also an outstanding researcher."
After pausing for a moment, she finally said, "Looks like your information isn’t quite up-to-date."
Seeing the lively scene before her, Zhao Sirui was left in a daze, each of Fan Qianqian’s words echoing in her mind like lightning.
