Because of the large number of media outlets requesting to attend the press conference, the Ministry of Agriculture arranged a hall as the venue for the press conference.

A few minutes before the press conference began, all the media reporters arrived. The long guns and short guns in the hands of the reporters were aimed at the rostrum, just waiting for the spokesman of the Ministry of Agriculture to announce the test results to everyone.

As a reporter for Hell's Kitchen magazine, Jessica was also present at the press conference. She arrived in Washington on Xiao Ping's private jet last night and was one of the first reporters to arrive at the scene today. Because of this, Jessica occupies a position in the front row.

Listening to the other reporters whispering about the Holy Pot brand and Lilian Ranch being unlucky this time, Jessica's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer. At the moment, Jessica is one of the few people who knows the truth of the matter, and the direction of the whole thing is the opposite of what most people think. Jessica was hoping that the press conference would have taken place sooner, and she couldn't wait to see the surprised expressions of the others.

In fact, the reason why Jessica sat in the front row was just so that she could see Xiao Ping's performance at the press conference up close for a while. Except for Jessica, no one in the audience knew that Xiao Ping himself would also attend the press conference.

In the anticipation of Jessica and others, the time for the press conference finally came. A staff member opened the side door, and Tom Sakowell, a spokesman for the Department of Agriculture, immediately walked out.

The cameras and various cameras in the hands of the reporters immediately pointed at Sakovil, and with a burst of flashes, everyone took the first shot of the day.

Sarkowell has long been accustomed to this kind of scene. Without even blinking an eye, he walked straight to the podium. And to the surprise of most people. A young man followed Sarkovwell out and walked with him to the podium.

Quite a few reporters looked at this young man with an Asian face in amazement. I can't figure out what he came from. Some people secretly speculated that this young man might be from the inspection agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, because this time the stakes were very high, so he asked him to explain some technical problems to everyone.

However, a few reporters who had an in-depth understanding of Lilian's Ranch and the Holy Pot brand immediately recognized that this young man was none other than Xiao Ping, the protagonist of this incident, the owner of Lilian's Ranch and the owner of the Holy Pot brand!

looked at Xiao Ping, who was smiling and didn't seem to take the current predicament into account at all. The journalists also sensed that something was wrong. They exchanged glances, and they both saw expressions of confusion and surprise on each other's faces.

Xiao Ping, who should have been anxious, appeared at the press conference with a calm face, which is simply abnormal. Many people realize that maybe things are not as simple as they think, but there is a good chance that something unexpected will take place.

Such an idea made many reporters at the scene excited. As a journalist, we all want to encounter unexpected news like in a movie. For many journalists, digging up one or two of these stories throughout their careers is enough to satisfy them.

And now it seems that there is such a piece of news at hand. How can these reporters not be excited? Even the reporters who had been cared for by Wales beforehand and were ready to make more tendentious stories had forgotten their original intentions and were gearing up to report this explosive news well.

Under the expectant gaze of all journalists. Sakowell stood behind the podium, opened the folder in his hand with a blank face, and said, "Now on behalf of the USDA Sales and Inspection Bureau, I announce the results of the test report on the plants in Lillian's pasture in Texas. ”

Sakowell's words silenced the scene. Only the "click" of the camera shutter was heard. Everyone held their breath as he announced the final result.

Sakowell is not ambiguous either. "The Ministry of Agriculture has appointed three different independent research institutes to test plant samples collected from Lilian's Ranch. The conclusions of the three research institutions are completely consistent. None of the samples contained any genetically modified ingredients, which means that there is currently no evidence that any genetically modified plants are grown at Lillian's Ranch in Texas!"

Although they had been mentally prepared, when the reporters heard this conclusion, the scene immediately boiled. All the reporters stood up, stretched their microphones or recorders forward as far as they could, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Sakowell, I have a problem!"

As a spokesman for the Ministry of Agriculture, Sarkovil has seen this a lot. He immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and at the same time said with a blank face: "Today's press conference only announced the results of the investigation and did not answer any questions, sorry!"

As soon as Sakowell said this, the reporters shouted even louder. It's hard to get such unexpected news, but not to dig up any follow-up news, it's torture for journalists, and if that's the case, they'll go crazy.

Of all the reporters, only Jessica was as calm as she was when she first arrived. She sat quietly in the first row, neither asking for questions nor expressing dissatisfaction with Sarkowell's answers, as other reporters had done. The American chick just looked at Xiao Ping, who was standing next to Sakowell, with a smile on her face, her sea-blue eyes full of deep friendship.

Jessica is not worried about not being able to dig up the news, in fact, she is the person who knows the ins and outs of this matter best except for Xiao Ping. For her, the question now is not that there is no content to report, but what content to choose to report, so as not to undermine Xiao Ping's plan.

Sakowell watched the reporters noisily without saying a word, and waited for his voice to be quieter before he said lightly: "But Mr. Xiao Ping, the owner of Lilian Ranch and the owner of the 'Holy Pot' brand, is willing to answer a few questions, and now I have Mr. Xiao." ”

Sarkovil's words gave the reporters renewed hope, and they all stood up and looked at Xiao Ping expectantly.

In the face of the flashing lights, Xiao Ping's demeanor was calm and composed, and with a confident smile on his face, he said unhurriedly to the reporters: "Everyone, because of the limited time, I can only answer three questions. ”

Xiao Ping's words made the reporters nervous, and they hurriedly raised their hands to indicate that they had questions to ask, Xiao Ping casually pointed to a reporter in the front row and said, "Please ask this gentleman the first question." ”

The male reporter was obviously prepared, and asked Xiao Ping without hesitation: "Mr. Xiao, this time the Ministry of Agriculture has conducted an unusually strict inspection of your ranch, but the results of the inspection have shown that Lilian's ranch is innocent. Are you dissatisfied with the approach of the Ministry of Agriculture, and will any action be taken against the Ministry of Agriculture?"

After hearing this question, Xiao Ping showed a mysterious smile, and then shook his head lightly and said, "No, not at all!" (to be continued......)
