Upon hearing his subordinate's explanation, Zhujun furrowed his brow and gave a cold, impatient laugh, "Are you stupid? Open your eyes and take a good look, this orchid here doesn't have a single problem."

At this point, Zhujun paused briefly, then quickly continued, "I'm really curious, after all these years, did all the knowledge about orchids go into a dog's stomach or something?"

Being looked down upon like that, the bespectacled man's face turned extremely unpleasant...

He wanted to curse back, but he dared not, so he could only awkwardly rub his nose.

Seeing his awkward demeanor, Zhujun said nothing further but shifted his gaze, looking again at the orchid in his hand.

Over the years, Zhujun had always been learning about orchids under his Master.

Thus, he could tell that this orchid had clearly and completely returned to normal.

Although he still didn't know exactly how it had returned to normal, it didn't matter, as long as it was back to normal!

Because as long as it was back to normal, he could show off in front of his Master!

Thinking this, Zhujun turned to Haruno Rei and licked his lower lip a bit greedily, asking, "Haruno Rei! I want to ask, when this orchid was placed here before, how did you care for it?"

Zhujun asked this because he felt that the orchid's improvement was related to Haruno Rei!

But on further reflection, Zhujun thought he might be overthinking it.

Since Haruno Rei knew nothing about cultivating orchids, it was impossible for her to make it better!

So, the only logical explanation was that he had previously re-grafted the roots of this orchid.

This grafting restored the orchid's life force!

While Zhujun was thinking this, he heard Haruno Rei speak up faintly, "Previously, I didn't really take care of it much, I just casually placed it on that windowsill!"

"Just as I thought, it had nothing to do with her. So, its revival is entirely my doing!"

Hearing Haruno Rei's response, Zhujun fully confirmed his speculation.

"A genius, I am truly a genius! I randomly messed with the orchid's roots, and it miraculously reborn. No, I must figure out exactly what I did before, and then properly promote this method. As long as I can promote it well, I will definitely become the richest person in Japan eventually."

...

"Xiaobei, what do you think that silly guy is thinking about now?"

Seeing Zhujun's daydreaming expression, Haruno Nanako leaned in and whispered a question.

Hu Xiaobei, having heard Haruno Nanako's question, glanced at Zhujun!

Hu Xiaobei was quite accurate at reading people...

So after just one look, Hu Xiaobei knew exactly what that garbage was thinking!

In that instant, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "He probably thinks he's discovered some get-rich-quick scheme, maybe even believes he's about to become Japan's wealthiest person."

"Oh, Xiaobei, is there such a get-rich-quick method? If there really is one, tell me, I also want to become Japan's wealthiest person! I think the feeling of being Japan's wealthiest person must be really great!"

Hearing Haruno Nanako's half-joking words, Hu Xiaobei glanced at her and said, "Becoming the wealthiest is actually simple! You just marry me, and when I become Japan's wealthiest person in the future, you'll be the wealthiest too."

"Xiaobei, that's a good plan! But, you're already my mom's boyfriend. So, I can't steal my mom's man."

Hearing this playful response, Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched, and at that moment, he really didn't know what to say.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei looking a bit dazed, she giggled, "Xiaobei, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

...

On one side, Haruno Rei was really happy and reassured to see Hu Xiaobei and Haruno Nanako getting along so well.

Previously, Haruno Rei had always taken care of Haruno Nanako by herself.

So Nanako Haruno has always been a bit self-conscious.

All these years, there were hardly any times when Nanako Haruno smiled happily!

One could say that today, in front of Hu Xiaobei, she smiled more than she had ever done before all combined!

Thinking this way, Haruno Rei's gaze grew increasingly tender.

At this time, she remembered something her daughter had once said.

After thinking about it, she shyly glanced at Hu Xiaobei and whispered, "If I really ended up with him, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, at least for my daughter, it would be really nice!"

While Haruno Rei was wildly imagining these things, the orchid expert referred to as 'Master' by Zhujun was rapidly approaching this location.

...

His name was Ling Shangshu and he was Japan's most formidable orchid expert.

In the realm of orchids, Ling Shangshu possessed unmatched power.

Previously, Ling Shangshu had met Zhujun at an event!

Feeling that Zhujun had remarkable talent, Ling Shangshu had taken him as his disciple.

He was quite satisfied with Zhujun!

So, knowing that Zhujun had cultivated an impressive orchid, he was very interested...

...

Thinking of orchids, Ling Shangshu suddenly sighed silently while sitting in the car...

Before, Ling Shangshu had taken a trip to Huaxia!

Before going to Huaxia, Ling Shangshu always thought he was quite strong!

But after going to Huaxia, he realized what it meant to be a small fish in a big pond.

"Really, my achievements are nothing in front of theirs!"

Thinking of Huaxia's profound heritage, he muttered to himself.

Before going to Huaxia, Ling Shangshu genuinely thought his expertise in orchids was absolutely world-class.

But after really going there, he realized he had thought too highly of himself.

His level was far inferior compared to the experts in Huaxia, they weren't even on the same level...

"What a pity! This time in Huaxia, I didn't get to meet the top expert Hu Xiaobei, who is revered by all plant experts! I hope next time, I will have the chance to meet him."

As he spoke, Ling Shangshu couldn't help feeling regretful...

While he was in Huaxia, he met many plant experts!

After interacting with these experts, he felt that these plant experts were very formidable and surely among the top experts.

But after asking carefully, he learned they were not.

The person representing the highest standard was called Hu Xiaobei!

Knowing this information, he wanted to meet Hu Xiaobei properly.

But because Hu Xiaobei was not in Xiaohe Village at the time, Ling Shangshu didn't get the chance, which he found very regrettable.

After returning, Ling Shangshu decided to make time to go to Huaxia again soon.

He wanted to learn from Hu Xiaobei and see how wide the gap between them truly was…
