"Is... is this a dream?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, the two of them stared at each other dumbfounded...
Soon, they couldn't help but look ahead at the not too distant scene once more...
What met their eyes was still the boundless sea of roses and innumerable butterflies...
A gentle breeze blew by, swaying the multi-colored roses, bringing along with it a wisp of fragrance, confirming to them this was not a dream but reality!
Sensing their amazement, Hu Xiaobei's lips curled into a slight smile...
Previously, Hu Xiaobei had anticipated their surprise, so at this moment, instead of being startled he just gave a light smile and teased, "Hey, who was it who said they would never be astonished?"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's direct teasing, their cheeks flushed a bit...
They felt as though Hu Xiaobei had just slapped them in the face...
Just a moment ago, they had confidently claimed nothing could shock them.
But now, before they knew it, the scene that astonished them had appeared...
Feeling their discomfort, Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this. I'll take you ahead to have a closer look!"
"Okay!"
They nodded eagerly upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's invitation, transforming into curious little babies...
...
"Master Xiaobei, how... how did you manage to do this?"
After arriving at the sea of flowers, Mu Zhenzhen, shaking off the butterflies flying around her, spoke with profound shock.
Glancing at Mu Zhenzhen, Hu Xiaobei's mouth showed a trace of a smile, "How did I do it? I just casually made it happen. You know, I am a farmer, so farming, growing flowers, is very easy for me!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's explanation, Mu Zhenzhen's mouth twitched slightly, "Master Xiaobei, I... I know you're amazing, but isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
While smiling wryly, Mu Zhenzhen once again took in the sight of the fluttering butterflies and the endless sea of flowers!
Previously, due to her job, she had often come into contact with various fresh flowers...
Before, she thought she had seen all the perfect flowers, but now she realized that was not the case...
At least, she had never seen such perfect flowers capable of attracting numerous butterflies...
"That's true! I also think it's a bit too much!"
Standing beside Mu Zhenzhen, Yao Yan'er chimed in after Mu Zhenzhen spoke!
Yao Yan'er had tried growing flowers before, so she knew how extremely challenging it was.
Growing such perfect flowers was even more difficult, so even for Hu Xiaobei, it shouldn't have been so easy!
Looking at them, Hu Xiaobei confidently affirmed, "For others, it might be a bit too much. But for me, it's not, because I have the ability!"
As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei stretched out his hand.
In an instant, a dozen butterflies swiftly landed on his fingertips.
"I would believe such words only from you. If anyone else said it, I wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark!"
"Me neither!"
They looked at Hu Xiaobei with deep admiration...
Truly!
If anyone else claimed they could easily grow such perfect flowers and attract so many butterflies, they wouldn't have believed it!
But because it was Hu Xiaobei who said it, they chose to believe.
Because they knew just how formidable Hu Xiaobei's abilities were...
Withdrawing his arm and watching the butterflies fly away, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "Wow, you really have confidence in me!"
"Of course!"
Having said that, Yao Yan'er suddenly shifted the topic, "Xiaobei, I'm about to release my new song, and I want to shoot a music video here, do you mind?"
"Not at all, why would I mind! I'm always welcoming!"
Hu Xiaobei knew if Yao Yan'er shot a music video in this flower sea, it would introduce it to more people, so naturally he wouldn't refuse!
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's prompt agreement, she smiled sweetly, "Okay! Then let's agree on that!"
"Yes! It's a deal!"
They smiled at each other after talking...
Previously, Yao Yan'er had been busy preparing for her concert when she received a call from Hu Xiaobei...
Knowing he wanted her help to make an impact together against Tanaka Kitano, she didn't hesitate and immediately agreed...
At the time, Yao Yan'er hadn't thought of asking for anything in return.
But now, seeing this absolutely perfect sea of flowers, she couldn't help but want something in return!
Because she knew this place was truly perfect to the extreme, making it an ideal background for a music video...
...
"Ah, it looks like I arrived just in time!"
Hearing this gentle voice, Hu Xiaobei turned around to see the enchanting figure of Murong Qingqing with a smile, approaching...
Behind her came many crew members, all of them standing there with their mouths agape...
Naturally, this was because it was the first time they had witnessed such a perfect sea of flowers!
After a quick glance over her enchanting figure, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "Just in time? You're pretty late! I thought you wouldn't make it!"
Feeling Hu Xiaobei's frustration, Murong Qingqing glanced at him and laughed softly, "You have the nerve to blame me for being late? You little bastard, you didn't even give me a reward! I did well to show up!"
Hearing Murong Qingqing mention remuneration, Hu Xiaobei chuckled slyly and shamelessly said, "Remuneration? Sister Qingqing, how about I offer myself to you?"
"Offer yourself?" If you're willing, that's fine too!"
With that, she glanced at Hu Xiaobei and gently changed the subject, "Alright, no more joking around! I'm going to get ready. We can start the live stream any time now!"
"En! Prepare well! We still have ten minutes!"
"En? You plan to start at ten?"
"Yes! I investigated earlier, ten o'clock is the day Tanaka Kitano's flower shop opens, and I plan to send him a big 'gift'!"
"A big gift?"
"Yes, a big gift, as for what it is! You'll find out soon enough!"
"I'll wait and see!"
With a smile, she turned around and sashayed off, instructing her staff who quickly and efficiently began their preparations.
"Qingqing's butt really is getting bigger and bigger!"
With such excited muttering, Hu Xiaobei took out his phone!
Soon after, Hu Xiaobei quickly dialed a number...
After the other party picked up, Hu Xiaobei spoke indifferently, "It's me! Execute the plan we agreed on before now!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei hung up the phone expressionlessly...
"Tanaka Kitano, our contest has begun. I hope you can hang in there a bit longer, otherwise, it's really going to be no fun at all!"
With that, he turned his head to look at Yao Yan'er and Mu Zhenzhen, and at that moment, Hu Xiaobei noticed they were playing joyfully among the flowers!
...
"Master Xiaobei, you've finally issued the command!"
Over in Lake Water County, Eighth Master hung up the phone, laughing excitedly...
Yesterday, Eighth Master had received instructions from Hu Xiaobei, and since then, he led his men, waiting silently outside the entrance of the flower shop that Tanaka Kitano was about to open...
The reason Hu Xiaobei asked them and their men to wait there was to secretly spread the news that Yao Yan'er had gone to Xiaohe Village to everyone during the opening of Tanaka Kitano's flower shop...
Hu Xiaobei did this to draw everyone away...
To make his opening ceremony an utter failure...
"When the time comes, all of you brace yourselves. If we fail, I'll flay your skin off, got it?"
"Yes!"
As all his men responded, Eighth Master nodded expressionlessly...
Eighth Master knew that the task was not really complicated!
So in theory, he didn't need to be there personally!
But he still came, because he knew that Master Xiaobei had given this task!
He knew that in Lake Water County and even in Lake Heart City, Hu Xiaobei was the absolute pillar, so even if it cost him his life, he had to cling tightly to it.
Otherwise, he'd really have no chance to keep mixing in these circles...
...
Inside the office upstairs, Ma Xi looked at the growing number of young people gathering at the entrance and turned excitedly to say, "Master, there are already over two thousand people downstairs! All the flowers in our shop will surely sell out the moment we open!"
Hearing Ma Xi's obviously excited words, Tanaka Kitano, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and asked indifferently, "Is it time now?"
After glancing at the clock, Ma Xi quickly responded, "It's time, Master, it's ten o'clock now!"
"Ten o'clock? Well then, let's go down!"
"Okay!"
As they spoke, the two men walked downstairs, one after the other.
Stepping on the thick carpet, Tanaka Kitano sneered, "Hu Xiaobei, how disappointing you are! I thought you were somebody, but it turns out you're just a coward, too afraid to show your face from beginning to end."
Before, Tanaka Kitano had assumed Hu Xiaobei would try to sabotage his opening ceremony, so he prepared many countermeasures!
But now, he realized he had been overthinking it.
That so-called Master Xiaobei didn't have the guts to even show up...
...
"Young Master Tanaka!"
Downstairs, Hu Xiaobei's enemies, seeing Tanaka Kitano walk down, quickly spoke up respectfully!
At that moment, their respect for Tanaka Kitano was genuine because they knew Tanaka Kitano was now their mainstay!
"En!"
Tanaka Kitano nodded slightly, and then proudly declared, "Before, I thought Hu Xiaobei would show up, but it turns out he's just a coward!"
Hearing Tanaka Kitano speak, Ma Xi quickly added, "Master, you can't blame that loser, your aura is simply too powerful. Hu Xiaobei could never be your match, so of course he dares not show up!"
"That's right!"
"I think so too!"
"Me as well!"
Knowing it was time to butter up their boss, these people quickly chimed in after Ma Xi finished speaking...
Listening to their sincere flattery, Tanaka Kitano felt a rush of excitement.
Soon, he sneered proudly, "Indeed, that fool could never be my opponent! So him not showing up means he knows his place! Alright, let's go out and cut the ribbon now! Let's not keep so many people waiting outside!"
"Okay!"
As they talked, they walked out in a grand procession...
