After they stepped out together, Hu Xiaobei heard Shen Youwei speak up, "Xiaobei, hold on a moment!"

"What's wrong?"

"You're bringing some fresh vegetables, fruits, and tea leaves; there should be a chance to promote them well later!"

"Sure!"

After agreeing enthusiastically, Hu Xiaobei headed to the orchard...

While picking fruits, Hu Xiaobei thought about how Shen Youwei had been very nervous during their chat.

Hu Xiaobei knew that his nervousness must have been because the orchid owner's identity was extraordinary...

"This time, during the treatment, I must give it my all!"

With that decision made, Hu Xiaobei continued picking...

A few minutes later, Hu Xiaobei had put all the picked vegetables and fruits into the trunk.

Seeing how much Hu Xiaobei had picked, Shen Youwei smiled...

...

"Previously, I had guessed that the owner of the orchid must not be ordinary, and it seems I was right!"

Two hours later, when their car arrived at the Provincial Party Committee compound, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

Hu Xiaobei knew this was no ordinary place, inhabited only by retired senior cadres.

Just about anyone coming out could cause a figurative earthquake.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's serious expression, Shen Youwei asked the driver to stop the car. Once the car had stopped, Shen Youwei cautioned, "Xiaobei, be a bit more cautious here. If you stir up any trouble, even I wouldn't be able to handle it, understand?"

"Mayor Shen, don't worry, I won't recklessly cause any trouble."

"That's good!"

After a smile, Shen Youwei signaled the driver, and soon, the car continued forward...

"So many plain and undercover guards."

Hu Xiaobei quickly noticed that the place was swarming with security personnel.

Hu Xiaobei knew that if he were alone, countless people would have already come to interrogate him.

Five minutes later, when Hu Xiaobei finally met the orchid's owner, he was stunned...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's dumbfounded expression, Shen Youwei smiled and took the initiative to introduce, "Xiaobei, this is our Governor Sun Fuan, Governor Sun, this is Hu Xiaobei I mentioned before. He is an expert in plants!"

Hearing Shen Youwei's introduction, Hu Xiaobei regained his composure, "Governor Sun, hello!"

"Yes! After Shen introduced you earlier, I had someone check your credentials and found out you've been quite successful in Big River Town! Our country is now paying great attention to peasants, so I hope you keep up the good work, and if you need anything, just talk to Mayor Shen. The government is your strongest backer!"

"Yes! If need be, I will."

"Good! Then, let's go check out that sick orchid!"

"Alright!"

"Then follow me!"

Just as he finished speaking, there were footsteps, and Governor Sun turned his head to see his father walking out of the house.

"Father!"

As Governor Sun spoke very respectfully, Hu Xiaobei also glanced at him, realizing he too knew him; he had been a major figure in the town, but now he was retired...

"Yes! Are you Xiaobei?"

Hearing the deep query, Hu Xiaobei felt a hint of authority and took a deep breath with some nervousness, "Old master, I am!"

"Haha, young man, no need to be nervous. I believe Shen has already told you about the situation, my orchid has some issues, and I hope it can recover. Of course, it's fine if you can't cure it, so don't feel pressured."

"Old master, I promise to give it my all!"

"Yes! I..."

He was yet to finish speaking when he paused.

At that moment, he saw a few people walking towards them...

As he turned his head to look, Hu Xiaobei and the others also turned their heads...

In an instant, Hu Xiaobei's eyes flashed with surprise because after turning around, he recognized the man walking in the front as Lin Yongqiang, the founder of Yongqiang Brand!

Previously, in order to understand his competitor as much as possible, Hu Xiaobei had researched some of his information, so he recognized him at a glance this time.

Hu Xiaobei believed that he must have been recognized too since the other had likely researched his information as well.

Hu Xiaobei guessed right, Lin Yongqiang had indeed recognized him.

After recognizing that it was Hu Xiaobei standing in front of him, Lin Yongqiang was truly stunned...

He even subconsciously rubbed his eyes...

Because Lin Yongqiang couldn't accept that someone like Hu Xiaobei, who he saw as just a peasant, had any right to be at such a place...

...

Previously, Lin Yongqiang had always wanted to find an opportunity to connect with real significant figures.

To achieve this, Lin Yongqiang had been looking for ways, but nothing had worked out!

It left him feeling anxious and frustrated all day.

This time, he had expended a lot of effort to find out that the father of Governor Sun Fuan loved an orchid that was now sick.

When he heard this news, he was thrilled.

He knew he was an absolute expert in plants, so he definitely had a chance to cure that orchid!

He knew that if he could really cure it, he would definitely be able to connect with Sun Fuan, and then he would have no rivals in the province.

To avoid failure, he even brought in the best plant expert from his company...

"Chairman Lin, do you... do you know that young man?"

The arrogant-looking man standing next to Lin Yongqiang noticed the change in his expression and asked curiously.

Hearing this question, Lin Yongqiang, who had come to his senses, coldly said, "Yes, I know him. That man is Hu Xiaobei, that piece of crap who developed new vegetables and fruits and stole a small portion of our market share."

After knowing the identity of the young man, the arrogant young man squinted his eyes, "Oh? So, he's Hu Xiaobei? I've heard his name more than once before, and now seeing him, he looks very ordinary!"

"Of course, he's just a peasant who got lucky, naturally ordinary."

After saying this, Lin Yongqiang was still somewhat upset because he still didn't know why Hu Xiaobei ended up here...

...

"Probably because Governor Sun Fuan's father was desperate for treatment!"

After this thought occurred to him, it seemed very plausible!

"It's good that you are here, I'll give you a taste of how things work today!"

With that thought, he took a deep breath, swiftly walked up, and warmly said, "Governor Sun, I'm Lin Yongqiang!"

Sun Fuan nodded slightly, "Mm, I've heard about you before, your Yongqiang Brand is doing well!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Governor Sun, I'll strive to do even better!"

After speaking with excitement, he subtly stepped back.

The next second, he pointed to the man standing beside him and said, "Governor Sun, this is Mr. Guo Liang, our company's expert in plants. He has studied abroad for over a decade and is an absolute expert in plants; he can definitely cure that orchid."

Hearing Lin Yongqiang speak with such confidence, Sun Fuan's eyes slightly brightened, "Mr. Guo, if you can fix this for me, I will definitely thank you properly!"

"Governor Sun, rest assured! I'll do my best."

Guo Liang also knew that connecting with Sun Fuan was good for him, so he quickly slapped his chest in assurance!

"That's great!"

After nodding, Sun Fuan and his father turned and went inside...

Everyone knew they were going to bring the 'patient' over.

After they entered the house, Guo Liang, standing tall, turned his head and without any politeness, mocked, "Hey, that guy, I heard your name is Hu Xiaobei, right? I've been told about you quite often before, I heard your luck isn't too bad, but today you met me, and your luck has run out. Because I won't give you any chance, I'll show you just how big the gap is between us…"
