Indiana, USA.

Looking at the endless corn fields on both sides of the road, Keiko's eyes showed a hint of impatience.

There are less than two months left before the final defense of graduation, and because the Kennedy School adopts a credit-based education model, as long as you have completed enough credits, it means that you can apply for the graduation defense at any time. Keiko is like this now, because of some things, a few months later, he suddenly wants to end his studies here as soon as possible and return to Japan early. Therefore, she applied to the college for an early defense. After repeated persuasion by the academy, Jingzi's mind could not be changed, and the academy could only agree to Jingzi's somewhat crazy idea in the end.

The reason why Keiko did this also had her own considerations, on the one hand, she wanted to return to Tokyo as soon as possible to stabilize her position by Minister Ando's side. On the other hand, Lin Xiuyi, who went to work in the United States a few months ago, did not take the initiative to contact her, which also made her feel extremely irritable. Since then, Keiko has felt that it would be a complete waste of time if she really graduated step by step here in the United States.

"This is the best corn region in the United States, and our state government has provided technical and financial support to protect the interests of these agricultural producers, ensuring that our agricultural production has always maintained the highest efficiency and lowest cost. And this is also the fundamental reason why American agricultural products have always maintained a strong competitiveness!"

Just as Keiko was quietly thinking about something about her graduation thesis, she slowly stopped on the side of the road with the car. Edward Mezvinsky, a member of the State Assembly, who was sitting in the front row and was also the person in charge of hosting the students from the Kennedy School, suddenly stood up from his seat and gave the visitors on the bus an enthusiastic introduction to Indiana's thriving agricultural industry.

"Well, I know that you are all government workers from all over the world, and you all have your own set of experience in managing public affairs. So instead of repeating the boring concepts in the books, let's go out into the fields and talk to the farmers here and see what we can do to help them......"

As Mezvinsky stepped out of the car, Mr. Senator, dressed in casual attire, greeted the students behind him. Immediately afterwards, Mezvensky's men also set up cameras and pointed them at the figure of the parliamentarian.

"Isn't that a good story for government officials from around the world to introduce advanced agriculture in the United States?"

Jingzi was bored and followed behind everyone, stepping on the rugged machine plow road under her feet and walking into the corn field that was about to be harvested. Soon, on a vacant land that had been mined, several representatives of local farmers had been waiting here for a long time.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Congressman Edward Mezvensky of Indiana, and I'm now in charge of agriculture in the state. If you have any needs, please feel free to contact me...... Ha ha...... It's a privilege to serve taxpayers!"

"Mr. Mezvensky, it's great that you're here, and we farmers just have something we want your help with?"

"Oh, really? It seems that I came at the right time? You see, many of these friends who are here today are also government officials from other countries, and many of them are in charge of agriculture, and if you want me to help you sell cornfields, now is the best time to do so......

Edward Mezvensky stood in front of the camera and affectionately placed his hand on the shoulders of the farmers. Then he said to the Kennedy School students present.

"Mr. Councillor, not long ago, we suddenly received a lawyer's letter from Monsanto, and they said that we stole what they did...... Intellectual property, I think that's the word. It seems that our corn contains corn from Monsanto...... We don't even understand what this is all about......"

"Yes, Mr. Councillor, we are honest farmers and have never taken anything from anyone else. We contacted a lawyer in the city to help us understand the situation and find out what was going on...... The lawyer told us that it seemed that our corn was mixed with corn pollen from other nearby fields during pollination, so our corn contained some Monsanto bullshit gene...... Hell, is this something we can control......"

"Mr. Councillor, the farmers around us are using genetically modified seeds from Monsanto, only we don't like that stuff very much. Those people were desperately spraying herbicides into the fields, and there was not even a single weed in the fields except corn, and I really didn't know if it was corn or not. Those seed salesmen used to sell me those seeds, and I was a little worried about whether people would have a problem eating them, so I turned down their products. Just a few months ago, a bunch of guys in suits came running over and collected a few corns from us and brought them back. If I had known that they were suing us, I would have killed them on the spot with a shotgun......"

Mezvensky, who was still talking in front of the camera, suddenly fell silent. He patiently listened to everyone's advice, and then was silent for a long time.

"Okay, I already know your problem, it seems that you have found me in the right place, and I still have a bit of a personal relationship with Monsanto's executives. If you want to reconcile with them, I think I can help you get through that......"

"Reconciliation...... How to reconcile!"

"Hmm...... I guess it's just a matter of paying them some compensation, and I think as long as you're willing to use their corn seeds next year, everything will be fine. ”

"Compensation, but we didn't do anything, the lawyer said that if we plead guilty, this corn can't be sold to anyone, so how can we live......"

"This ...... I'm sorry, but you also have to understand that with the progress of science a lot of things can't be stopped, so if you want, I can talk to the people at Monsanto and see if I can give you some agricultural loans to plant their seeds. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you......"

The cameras that had been running all the time did not record the scene, and Mezvinsky turned and left the place after saying these words. And these students who came to visit also knew that Mr. Councillor should have messed up today's show, so they walked to the bus together with great interest.

"I'll just say these guys can't help at all...... What a bunch of liars......"

"What to do, if this corn cannot be sold, we will all go bankrupt, and our houses, land, and tractors will be taken away by the banks by then......"

"God, why are you treating us like this, if I go bankrupt, I won't have the money to pay for my daughter's college tuition......"

……

Jingzi heard the desperate words of the peasants behind her, and couldn't help but feel a touch in her heart, she suddenly stopped her steps, and then sighed deeply!

"Forget it......"

Keiko hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked back towards the desperate people.
