Chapter 769: Chapter 101: Blossoms in Rivalry (Part 2)
Being sensible is key, even if she transported all the flowers from Cherry Valley, it couldn’t match the scale of other companies’ floral exhibitions that resemble global gardens.
"Air freighting flowers is time-consuming and painstaking. Look, those pots of flowers are falling apart. We just have too many, using local flowers directly makes it more homely to the audience," Mao Dazhu glared at the opponent’s flower transport truck, wishing he could order some flowers from Kunming too.
However, when looking for cheaper domestic flights and moving them, many plants were damaged, and the horticultural companies in Kunming were unreliable, delivering winter-damaged flowers.
It’d be better to refill from Beijing’s local flowers. Although the flowers Xiao Xian brought from Cherry Valley weren’t many, their quality was good. After her specialized trimming, they looked even more pleasing than those uniformly customized overseas flowers.
"I’ll think of something else, and by the way, Master, why didn’t you tell me it was a jewelry exhibition this time?" Xiao Xian had thought about using plum blossoms for decoration, but Cherry Valley’s plum blossoms were all snow-white, not quite suitable for the grand jewelry exhibition, so she could only use roses and more colorful cherry blossoms.
"Hey, I did mention it before, even if it was just in passing. I was afraid you’d get too excited. My old lady and daughter-in-law, both of old age, when hearing that I was helping set up a jewelry exhibition venue, kept asking me if there was any discount or a free admission ticket," Beijing, this international metropolis, has seen rapid development in exhibitions over the past few years.
Citizens of Beijing with a bit of leisure time all know that they should visit the exhibition halls, not only to pick up free promotional gifts from manufacturers but also to see the most advanced technology in China’s related industries.
This time around, the jewelry exhibition, Mao Dazhu actually only knew about half of it, he really hadn’t studied the items displayed on the inside.
As Xiao Xian heard him say this and walked a few steps forward, she saw numerous promotional posters at the entrance, indeed featuring many international jewelry brands from "Bulgari" to "Chow Sang Sang", and at the end of the promotional images, an advert that looked somewhat familiar, "Chinese Traditional Jewelry - Miao Silver."
"Miao Silver, there’s actually a Miao Silver exhibition booth, Uncle Li must be here too," Xiao Xian thought of Li Quqi, the leading silver art master in China.
"What’s up, my little apprentice nephew, you’re young, don’t pick up the bad habits of loving jewelry just like the women in my family. A Miao Silver exhibition is indeed a highlight of this event, I heard there will even be Miao Silver masters crafting silverware on-site. If you’re interested, I’ll go with you. Let me secretly tell you, as the ones setting up, there are indeed discounts available, there’s an 88% discount if you buy at the event," Mao Dazhu had his calculations clear, Xiao Xian couldn’t just work for him for free, he might as well send her off with a few complimentary discount coupons, anyway, his little apprentice niece is easy to talk to.
"Instead of talking about this, you might as well think of ways to set up the venue, I see these two pots of flowers we brought are only enough for the doorway," Xiao Xian spit, walking into the venue. Setting up the venue is a huge task, it was time to find some free labor.
Several kilometers from the National Convention and Exhibition Center in an apartment, Yezi dragged his exhausted steps back to his residence, tearing off his tie. Recently he indeed had been overwhelmed, dealing with the mess left by Huang’s Company was truly tiring.
To win the trust of Aisha and others, he had deployed his full cunning to deal with various people in the business, which was far more complex than handling aquaculture or beast taming.
His phone had been ringing non-stop these past few days, like a bomber. In the afternoon, during a meeting, he turned off his phone.
"Isn’t it endless, as if phone calls weren’t enough, there’s a bunch of texts," Yezi did not turn on his phone, and Xu Lan Ya, failing to contact him, had to send a text which he deleted without a second thought.
"Isn’t it over yet, here it comes again," Yezi fetched a bottle of cherry juice from the fridge, angered by hearing the phone ring, he picked it up, seeing it was an unknown number.
"A Beijing local number? At this hour, I hope it’s not Xu Lan Ya trying her tricks again," Yezi saw the unfamiliar number, hesitated for a moment but answered anyway, worrying it might be his father.
Last month, he took the opportunity of a business trip to fool Li Quqi, and by the time they got back in touch, the big event was already over, and Li Quqi had probably returned to Guizhou.
"Yezi, you scoundrel, you gave your number but had your phone off all afternoon," a tender scolding voice from the other end of the conversation gave Yezi a sense of time slipping, taking him back to a few years ago.
Outside the temple, a girl with a Disney backpack, sporting twin braids, wide eyes glaring, hands on her hips, defending a bunch of Han Clan kids.
"Xiao Xian, why is it you?" Yezi was surprised and delighted; he had given his phone number to Mao Dazhu quite a while ago, and since Xiao Xian made no move, he eventually pushed it to the back of his mind, planning to actively seek her out later.
"Who did you think it was? You left in such a hurry that day, many things weren’t made clear. Are you free tomorrow?" Xiao Xian had wandered around the National Convention and Exhibition Center all day today, her legs nearly crippled without using Spiritual Energy, not to mention the striking decorations she had seen in Pavilions D1 and D2.
Tomorrow? Xiao Xian’s invitation was so sudden; Yezi had several meetings scheduled for tomorrow, although he was mostly just a figurehead in most of these meetings, leaving the details to specialists sent by the Roster Family.
But his schedule was fully packed.
"I’m free, just call me, even if the sky falls, I must make time," Yezi joked gleefully.
"Then it’s settled, come find me at the Agricultural Specialty Store tomorrow, and I’ll take you to see a huge surprise," Xiao Xian planned mysteriously, not waiting for Yezi to ask further before hanging up the phone.
