When Fuan anxiously asked, everyone present quickly turned their heads to look at Hu Xiaobei. In that moment, everyone saw the confident smile on Hu Xiaobei's face!

"Could he really have a way?" After a slight twitch of his eyelid, Guo Liang quickly discarded any superfluous thoughts.

Afterward, he sneered...

As Guo Liang sneered, Lin Yongqiang scornfully mocked, "Hu Xiaobei, are you deaf? The governor is talking to you!"

"That's right, how long are you planning to play dumb?"

Hearing Guo Liang and Lin Yongqiang's mockery, Shen Youwei, who had been standing to the side without speaking, felt somewhat nervous...

He worried that Hu Xiaobei, too, might not be able to revive the orchid...

As Shen Youwei felt this tension, Hu Xiaobei glanced at them...

Ignoring them, Hu Xiaobei quickly turned his head to look at Fuan and said, "Governor Sun, I can restore it, but I need a little time."

"Are you serious? Can you really bring it back to life? Tell me, how much time do you need?"

Seeing Governor Sun's excited expression, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Governor Sun, its problems are severe, so I need half an hour!"

Hearing the first part, Governor Sun spoke up, "It's normal for it to take a bit longer, so in that case… Huh?"

As he was speaking, he heard the time Hu Xiaobei needed and asked in surprise, "Xiaobei, you… How much time did you say? Half an hour?"

"Yes, half an hour."

After receiving a definitive reply, Governor Sun smiled, "Xiaobei, don't worry about half an hour. Even if it takes an hour or two hours, there won't be any problem!"

"That's great!"

Having agreed, Hu Xiaobei prepared to walk over to start the treatment when he was suddenly blocked by a sneering Guo Liang.

Hu Xiaobei had no good feelings towards Guo Liang, so upon seeing him, he coldly retorted, "A good dog doesn't stand in the way, move aside."

Guo Liang, cursed out by Hu Xiaobei, twitched at the corner of his mouth, "Dog? I'm not a dog, and I have no interest in stopping you. I just want to ask if what you just said is true? Can you really revive it in half an hour?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's claim that he could revive the orchid within half an hour, he didn't believe it at all.

He knew it was impossible.

That's why he quickly stepped forward, asking solemnly!

"Yes! I can!"

"Good! Then I'll watch, and see exactly how you manage it in half an hour."

While speaking, Guo Liang sneered and stepped back.

In his view, Hu Xiaobei was completely courting death!

So, he didn't need to do anything but stand aside and eagerly watch the spectacle!

...

After Guo Liang stepped back, Lin Yongqiang glanced at Hu Xiaobei, quickly approached, and said, "Guo Liang, Hu Xiaobei really has no chance of reviving it, right?"

Hearing Lin Yongqiang's somewhat uneasy inquiry, Guo Liang sneered, "Yes, Chairman Lin. Rest assured. I couldn't revive it, so how could he? Just because he can talk big?"

Looking down on Hu Xiaobei!

Knowing that Hu Xiaobei was just a farmer, Guo Liang truly despised him from the bottom of his heart.

So now, he simply didn't believe Hu Xiaobei could revive the orchid; in his view, Hu Xiaobei was just bragging in front of everyone to save his own face.

"I can rest easy now!"

Hearing Guo Liang speak so confidently, Lin Yongqiang sighed with relief.

He also believed that Hu Xiaobei simply didn't possess such miraculous skills to revive it!

But seeing Hu Xiaobei's confident demeanor just now, he couldn't help but worry a bit.

Now, after hearing Guo Liang's explanation, he realized his earlier worries were needless.

After feeling thoroughly reassured, Lin Yongqiang hummed a little tune, giddy with anticipation of watching Hu Xiaobei's spectacle.

"Xiaobei must succeed!"

While the two of them sneered and enjoyed the spectacle, Shen Youwei was extremely anxious and hopeful!

At this moment, he felt especially tense...

He knew if Hu Xiaobei succeeded this time, he would benefit greatly, but if Hu Xiaobei failed, he would also be implicated.

So he truly hoped Hu Xiaobei wouldn't fail.

"Father, do you think Hu Xiaobei really knows what he's doing?"

Sun Fuan approached his father with some trepidation and asked.

Sun Fuan's father, upon hearing the question, glanced at Hu Xiaobei and said softly, "Just watch and see."

He had seen many people, so he could tell that Hu Xiaobei genuinely had absolute confidence, and thus believed that Hu Xiaobei could indeed revive it.

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei, standing in front of the mutated orchid, didn't know what they were all thinking, but he guessed some of it!

Yet Hu Xiaobei didn't care; his entire focus was now on the orchid. After carefully examining it for a while, Hu Xiaobei turned to look at Sun Fuan and the old man and whispered, "Old man, was this mutated orchid originally propagated by division?"

"Yes!"

The old man thought for a bit and then nodded gently.

"Then..."

Just as Hu Xiaobei was about to continue, Guo Liang, with a sneer, interrupted him directly.

"Hu Xiaobei, are you an idiot? What's the point of asking these nonsense questions now? A mutated orchid like this cannot be cultivated, so to propagate them, division is the only method. Asking this now, I suspect you don't know anything about orchids at all!"

"Did I ask you to speak? Besides, I obviously know what you just said! The reason I asked is because this orchid developed a problem during its original division. The issue from back then has emerged now!"

Hu Xiaobei shot Guo Liang a cold glance and quickly spoke.

After finishing, Hu Xiaobei ignored Guo Liang, whose face turned from green to white, and turned to look at the old man, saying, "Old man, if I'm not mistaken, the initial division wasn't particularly successful, right?"

"You... You even know that?"

The old man was truly shocked because he had never told anyone about the division!

When the division happened initially, it was somewhat unsuccessful, so the orchid didn't grow well although it did survive.

Later, as it grew better and better, he gradually stopped worrying.

But now, after hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, he realized the initial division truly left a problem.

"Yes, I know. I figured out just now after a close inspection. Because the initial division wasn't particularly successful, its condition was never quite good, but it's done well because you've taken good care of it. However, as it aged, the problems began to show gradually."

After listening to Hu Xiaobei's detailed explanation, he looked anxious, "I see! Then is there a chance it can still be saved?"
