Hearing such a solemn promise, Guo Liang quickly relaxed; he had indeed been worried that Lin Yongqiang had been scared witless by Hu Xiaobei.

He quickly glanced at Lin Yongqiang and, with a face full of flattery, began to speak, "Chairman Lin, I believe that as long as you truly aim to deal with him, you will definitely succeed! So here, I'd like to congratulate you on your assured victory in advance."

"Stop kissing up, you useless thing. Didn't you always tell me how you studied abroad and were an absolute expert in botany? Now why isn't it working, huh?"

The more he scolded, the more irked Lin Yongqiang became.

Because Lin Yongqiang knew that if he could actually fix that orchid, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't have had the chance to show off in front of him...

Being scolded like this, Guo Liang felt very embarrassed.

But Guo Liang didn't dare say anything; he could only silently curse Hu Xiaobei in his mind.

"Chairman Lin, I..."

Hearing that Guo Liang was still prepared to spout some meaningless rubbish, Lin Yongqiang interrupted him directly, "Enough, don't spout that nonsense now, you're just adding to my irritation!"

"Yes! I won't say anymore. Chairman Lin, please don't be angry, take care of your health!"

"If you were even the slightest bit useful, my health would be a lot better."

After the sarcasm, Lin Yongqiang instructed his driver to start the car.

Once the car started, he looked out the window somberly...

Previously, knowing that Sun Fuan's father's orchid had encountered problems, he had wanted to show off in front of Sun Fuan, but instead of showing his face, he had ended up exposing his own backside!

The more he thought about it, the angrier Lin Yongqiang became. Glancing at the courtyard that was getting further and further away, he growled, "Hu Xiaobei, it's all because of you, you bastard. Without you, I would've already gained trust by now! Just you wait, I'll soon crush you completely."

After saying this, Lin Yongqiang slammed his fist against the window fiercely.

Guo Liang, sitting beside him, was startled by Lin Yongqiang's rage...

Wanting to ask something, but Guo Liang gave up, knowing that Lin Yongqiang was in a rage and it was best not to provoke him now...

Of course, even without asking, Guo Liang knew that Lin Yongqiang's current frenzy was definitely because of Hu Xiaobei!

"Hu Xiaobei, we've really become enemies now. Sooner or later, I'll make you kneel before me and regret your actions!"

After finishing, he clenched his fists resentfully; at this moment, he wished he could quickly curse Hu Xiaobei with effigies...

...

"You really are amazing, Xiaobei."

As Sun Fuan and his father carefully carried the orchid back, Shen Youwei approached with a smile on his face.

At that moment, Shen Youwei was truly happy, because Hu Xiaobei had indeed been successful.

Seeing Shen Youwei's cheerful demeanor, Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly and said, "Mayor Shen, it was just good luck that I was able to help it recover!"

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's modesty, Shen Youwei waved his hand and said, "Alright, no need for formalities with me. Thanks to you this time, I've really managed to make an impression in front of Sun."

Shen Youwei was truly grateful to Hu Xiaobei, knowing that without him, he would not have had the chance to impress Sun properly.

Hearing Shen Youwei express his gratitude, Hu Xiaobei smiled...

Hu Xiaobei had revived the plant not only to sell Shen Youwei a favor.

Hu Xiaobei knew he would need Shen Youwei's help in the future, so building a good relationship with him was all to his own benefit.

"By the way, Xiaobei, once Sun and his father taste the flavor of the vegetables and fruits you've brought, they'll definitely be shocked."

"I hope so, as their endorsement will certainly make promotion much simpler."

"Haha, it will surely be so!"

Hearing Shen Youwei speak with such confidence, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said nothing more.

...

Inside the house, Sun Fuan's father took a careful look at the orchid and then took a deep breath.

The next moment, looking at Sun Fuan, he said, "Fuan, this Hu Xiaobei is really impressive!"

Hearing his father praise Hu Xiaobei, Sun Fuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, Father. When Shen first introduced him to me, I was actually just clutching at straws. I didn't expect him to be so capable. He actually managed to revive this orchid."

"Indeed, this time Hu Xiaobei has done us a big favor. One must be grateful and return favors. If he ever encounters any trouble in the future, remember to help him out, alright?"

"Father, rest assured. If he ever has difficulties, I will definitely lend a hand."

"Good, then let's go outside."

"Okay!"

As they talked, the two quickly walked out.

...

Sun Fuan's courtyard had a very quiet backyard, filled with a variety of flowers, and in one corner, there was even a man-made fountain...

At this moment, beside the fountain, in the gazebo covered with wisteria, Hu Xiaobei, Sun Fuan, Sun Fuan's father, and Shen Youwei were all sitting together.

After taking their seats, Sun Fuan let out a light chuckle and said, "Shen, Xiaobei, let's set aside our identities for now and just relax and have a good chat."

"Yes, Mr. Sun!"

After a glance at Shen Youwei, Sun Fuan responded, "Still calling me Mr. Sun?"

"This..."

"Come on, Shen, relax a bit."

During their conversation, Sun Fuan picked up the Purple Sand Pot on the table.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaobei quickly took out the tea leaves he had prepared earlier and said, "Uncle Sun, I planted a few tea trees by the edge of the orchard. I brought some of the tea leaves from those trees for you to taste the flavor."

"Sure!"

As Sun Fuan gave his hearty consent, Hu Xiaobei placed the box of tea leaves on the table!

Shen Youwei saw Hu Xiaobei take out the tea and a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth.

He remembered how good the taste of those tea leaves had been before, so he knew that both Sun Fuan and his father would be utterly amazed shortly.

"I really look forward to seeing their astonished faces soon!"

While he was thinking this, Hu Xiaobei put the tea leaves into the Purple Sand Pot.

Sun Fuan smiled gently and added hot water to it.

After that, he covered the pot, chuckling as he chatted with Hu Xiaobei and the others...

Shortly, Sun Fuan detected a faint, refreshing fragrance wafting through the air, invigorating him tremendously.

"What is this scent?"

He wondered in surprise as he took a deep sniff.

It didn't take long for Sun Fuan to realize that this exhilarating fragrance he couldn't help but enjoy was emanating from the Purple Sand Pot.

"Could it be the fragrance from Hu Xiaobei's tea leaves?"

Thinking thus, Sun Fuan turned to look at his father and saw that he, too, was intently staring at the Purple Sand Pot. At that instant, Sun Fuan knew his father must have also caught the rich aroma of the tea...
