Sweet Beauty

Chapter 588 Pachyphytum Compactum

Everyone heard the sound and looked at Liang Jiahao’s hand. Immediately they saw a strange pinkish-orange flower and laughed out loud.

Goo Shengli was laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He didn’t forget to tease Qin Yu. “This is a rare breed you’re talking about? Hahahaha. It looks weird!”

Qin Yu took the flower and hit Goo Shengli in frustration. Then she looked at Liang Jiahao. “This flower….will it be worthless?”

”No way!” Liang Jiahao raised his hand and naturally ruffled Qin Yu’s hair as if comforting her or coaxing her. “The official name of this flower is Pachyphytum Compactum or also known as Little Jewel. The market price is at least one thousand yuan!”

The moment he said that, Goo Shengli and the others couldn’t laugh anymore!

Their own flowers were indeed very common. You can find them everywhere in the market, but the ones in Qin Yu’s hands…

Goo Shengli was still not convinced. He turned around and asked Shi Jingguo, “Director Shi, is what Brother Liang said true?”

Shi Jingguo smiled. “It looks like President Liang is an expert in this field! This flower came from the Assistant Director’s grandparents’ house and was brought here to support our program.”

”This is unfair!” Goo Shengli angrily tried to snatch the flower from Qin Yu’s hands. Qin Yu jumped in shock and quickly dodged to the side.

Goo Shengli was an expert at stealing. Just by stretching his hands forward, his fingers had already touched the flower in Qin Yu’s hands.

Just as Goo Shengli was about to snatch it from Qin Yu with a mischievous smile, Liang Jiahao suddenly took the flower. Then, he looked at Goo Shengli with a pair of dark eyes.

The smile on Goo Shengli’s face froze. Under Liang Jiahao’s forceful gaze, he quickly withdrew his hand and in the end, even went as far as to stubbornly find a way out for him.

”Humph! What’s so great about that? Sister Fang, let’s go and play with our flower. It’ll definitely sell better than theirs!”

The other two groups also returned to their spots, taking out the items from the boxes one by one.

Qin Yu had never personally planted a flower before. Now that she saw this beautiful flower, she was very excited. She set up the small flower pot, wiped it clean with a damp towel, and then began to pour the nutritious soil into the pot.

”That’s not right.” Liang Jiahao took something that looked like sawdust from the side and opened the package. “Put this on top to stabilize the moisture of the soil.”

Qin Yu listened to Liang Jiahao’s words. She took the sawdust and poured it into the pot according to his instructions. Then, she spread it out evenly.

Liang Jiahao patiently taught Qin Yu like a teacher. Qin Yu also listened attentively, and in no time, they finished.

Fang Guanting and Goo Shengli did their work cooperatively. They did not exhaust themselves with hard work, and their pace was quite fast. After Qin Yu and Liang Jiahao finished, they also finished.

Liao Nuan and Ma Zhihao did not interact the whole time. Both of them were doing their own things. Although their speed was not very fast, at least one of them did the task well. Only the end result did not look good.

On the other side, Zhuan Bi and Zeng Zhenkang were like enemies. Zeng Zhenkang had learned something when he saw Liang Jiahao teaching Qin Yu and wanted to use it. However, Zhuan Bi had a different idea and didn’t follow Zeng Zhenkang’s instructions.

Zeng Zhenkang was infuriated. The two were arguing while they were planting. The staff looked at them and even thought that they were going to fight!

In the end, the four groups of guests were finished.

Next, came the part of the auction.

Shi Jingguo called out. “Zeng Zhenkang, please take out your flower and bid first.”

Zeng Zhenkang secretly exchanged a resentful look with Ma Zhihao. Then, he closed his eyes as if he couldn’t see anyone and took out his flower pot from behind.

While Zeng Zhenkang and Zhuan Bi were planting the flower, the two of them were fighting over it because they didn’t have a good opinion of each other. The flower practically fell out of the roots, and when Zeng Zhenkang took it out, only bare branches remained in the pot.

The bidding staff: “…”

Shi Jingguo waited for a long time but didn’t see a single staff member bid. He urged, “Why don’t you guys give a price?”

The four staff looked at Shi Jingguo with hidden bitterness.

Shi Jingguo was also extremely depressed. Let alone the four staff members, even he didn’t want it.

It was the kind of gift he didn’t want.

Shi Jingguo shook his head and gave a look to one of the staff members. She pouted and said hesitantly, “All right, I’ll bid five!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the other three immediately applauded.

”Congratulations, the pot is now yours!”

Zeng Zhenkang: “….”

Zhuan Bi: “…”

After that, it’s Liao Nuan and Ma Zhihao’s turn. Their flower pot was a little better, and they didn’t lose many flowers. However, they weren’t professional, and the final result didn’t look very nice. In the end, a staff member took pity and offered 10 yuan.

When it was Goo Shengli and Fang Guanting’s turn, Goo Shengli took out his pot with pride, pointed to his flower, and said, “Our flower was planted with care by Sister Fang and me, and we love it very much. Little sisters, please give us a high price so that we can add another dish tonight!”

The four bidders immediately smiled.

There was no other way. After all, Goo Shengli was a handsome man and his mouth was sweet!

His potted flower was auctioned for 80 yuan.

Goo Shengli was overjoyed. He walked over to Qin Yu and proudly waved the money at her. “Did you see that? Eighty yuan!”

Qin Yu pouted at him and held out her hand to Liang Jiahao.

Liang Jiahao chuckled and placed the flower pot on her palm.

Qin Yu took the pot of Pachyphytum Compactum and smilingly said to the staff members. “Don’t miss the chance to buy my flower pot. Look at it, it is well-proportioned, beautiful and a sight to see before going to bed. I promise you all will be happy when you buy it. There is only one pot in this world that I, Qin Yu, personally planted!”

All four staff members stood up and surrounded Qin Yu, sizing up the Pachyphytum Compactum flower in her hands. The more they looked at it, the more they liked it.

”I bid 100!”

”I bid 150!”

”200!”

”300!”

”400!”

Shi Jingguo, who was standing at the side, began to cough. Seeing this, the staff all revealed a depressed expression.

Shi Jingguo: “The budget for our program is limited. The maximum is 500 yuan. Beyond that, you all have to pay for it yourselves!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a little sister immediately said, “I’ll bid 500!”

The other three sighed to the heavens and wrung their hands in pity. “Aiya, how can your mouth be so fast? I was just about to say that!”

That little sister laughed smugly and snatched the pot from Qin Yu’s hands. “It’s mine now, haha! Qin Yu planted it herself!”

Qin Yu held the money and waved it at Liang Jiahao and Goo Shengli. “Five hundred! We can have a feast tonight.”

Goo Shengli looked at Qin Yu enviously and whispered to Fang Guanting. “Sister Fang, we only have 80 yuan. We should be able to eat a plate of meat tonight, right?”

Fang Guanting nodded. “It’s possible.”

The remaining four people beside Goo Shengli: “….”

Five and ten, what could they eat with that amount of money?

Ma Zhihao and Zeng Zhenkang looked at the five yuan and ten yuan in their hands and sighed with their heads lowered. They were so depressed.

Finally, Qin Yu and Liang Jiahao went back to the small farmhouse arranged by the program team.

On the way there, Goo Shengli received a call from Liang Zixuan. She said something to him before hanging up.

Goo Shengli and Fang Guanting also returned to the farmhouse to cook with Liang Jiahao and the others.

Since Goo Shengli didn’t know how to cook, he could only be an assistant like Qin Yu.

While he was washing vegetables, he pretended to chat with Qin Yu. “Hey, Qin Yu, the news about you and Brother Liang, saying that you stole your best friend’s boyfriend …”

When he said that, he deliberately looked at Liang Jiahao and pouted. “How dare he come at this time and do this show with you?”

Qin Yu looked at Liang Jiahao and said, “I don’t know what he was thinking, but what was in the news isn’t true. I didn’t do that.”

”I definitely believe in you!” Goo Shengli said affirmatively. “You never tell lies. If you do it, you do it. If you don’t do it, then you don’t do it! But …”

Goo Shengli coughed and purposely raised his voice. “What is the relationship between Xia Jingfei and that certain someone? This kind of thing can’t be fabricated out of thin air! I mean, you were all present at that time!”
