Let's talk stakes because this is where the chapter really earns its tension. Lin Shuyao isn't just applying for a job. She's bet her entire reputation, her dignity, and her future on these documents. She came all the way from Jingdu to the southwest border region—a massive life change. She put her detailed breeding plans and soil data into those papers, which means she staked her professional identity on being believed. And Professor Chen just tried to destroy that in thirty seconds of phone conversation. The stakes for the experimental station are equally high. They're a new facility, short-staffed, desperate for talent. If they reject her based on Chen's word, they might be turning away their best chance at accelerating their research. If they accept her and she's actually incompetent, they look foolish AND waste precious time. Station Master Li is navigating this perfectly—he's not choosing between accept and reject; he's creating a third option that protects everyone while giving her a fighting chance. But here's what makes the stakes feel REAL: the logistics role. It's described as the most exhausting, menial, least technical position. No official establishment, no extra allowances. If she can't handle it, she leaves on her own. The author makes it clear this isn't a soft option—it's a gauntlet. She'll be working in the fields, in the wind and sun, organizing data with zero margin for error. If she fails, there's no coming back. And Lu Chengjing? His stakes are quieter but no less real. He vouched for her. He cancelled the divorce. He's betting his reputation on a woman he barely knows. The fact that he's standing on the training field, unusually relaxed, suggests he genuinely believes in her—even if he can't articulate why. The suspense isn't just whether she'll pass the interview, it's whether the system that tried to crush her will ultimately be proven wrong.

Why don’t you reply to anyone commenting on your other ongoing books especially when we’ve paid for over800 chapters and been waiting months for an ending? My hockey alpha and his secret princess both left with no ending or even halfway through a story for the sequel no reply and all reviews ignored
