While Xia Guifang was taking a shower, Wang Xiaoqiang took three photos of the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum with his mobile phone.

Xia Guifang, in a hurry, had not brought a change of clothes and realized this only after her shower, causing her to stay inside for a long while. Wang Xiaoqiang called out to her, prompting her to wrap the essential parts of her body with a bath towel before sheepishly stepping out. Seeing her, Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze fixed on her, and he was momentarily stunned.

"Little Qiang, go have dinner by yourself. I need to wash my clothes and let them dry..." Xia Guifang said and then went off to wash her clothes.

"Okay, I'll bring a portion back for you."

Wang Xiaoqiang said as he left the room. It was hot outside and he didn't go far, eating a bowl of Lanzhou noodles and drinking a bottle of beer at a restaurant next to the hotel. He then brought back a portion of fried noodles and a bottle of beverage for Xia Guifang.

After Xia Guifang had washed her clothes and hung them to dry, Wang Xiaoqiang returned to find her already nestled under the sheets. Seeing him with the fried noodles and drink, and having never been cared for by a boy before, she couldn't help feeling touched and sincerely said, "Little Qiang, thank you."

"Little Fang, don't mention thanks. It's the least I could do. Eat up and lie down to rest a bit. I have to step out for a while. Call me if you need anything," Wang Xiaoqiang said. Seeing Xia Guifang nod obediently, he then left the room.

With Xia Guifang in the hotel, there was no fear of the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum being stolen, so Wang Xiaoqiang casually strolled into the Flower and Wood Market, meandering around as if simply wandering. Several shop owners waved at him, but he didn't see Boss Jiang. Inquiring around, he discovered that Boss Jiang had gone out to transport goods.

Boss Jiang's absence made Wang Xiaoqiang feel more at ease since seeing him while he was trying to sell the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum would have been awkward because, after all, it belonged to Boss Jiang.

"Young man, looking for flowers? My shop has the largest selection of plants in the whole market…" a middle-aged, chubby shop owner, squinting his small eyes, called out to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang approached and asked, "Boss, do you have the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum here?"

"What? Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum?" The chubby shop owner's gaze sharpened on Wang Xiaoqiang, somewhat bewildered,

With his plain clothes, Wang Xiaoqiang looked like a simple country boy to him. Initially, he thought Wang Xiaoqiang might just buy a pot or two of flowers for a few dozen yuan, but unexpectedly, he asked right away about the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum, worth millions.

"Yes, the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum…" Wang Xiaoqiang confirmed firmly.

"No," the shop owner shook his head. "That type of orchid is quite rare and rather expensive. Young man, why not look at something else!"

The shop owner was telling the truth; he really didn't have the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum. It wasn't that this prestigious plant was hard to sell; in fact, the more prestigious, the more in demand it was. However, to keep its rarity, owners were not likely to let it propagate extensively. That the chubby shop owner didn't have any was not surprising.

"Really, boss? Do you think I can't afford it?" Wang Xiaoqiang was a bit incredulous but showed no intention of insisting on buying it. He was about to turn away when he heard the shop owner say, 'Young man, what are you talking about? I would not deceive you, I genuinely don't have Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum here. It's very scarce, and I'd love to buy one myself, but no one has one to sell…'

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang paused, turned back, and asked, "Boss, are you being sincere?"

"Please, merchants don't lie," the shop owner's gaze flickered as he said, "Wait, from what you're implying, do you have one?"

"Indeed, I do have one," Wang Xiaoqiang stated seriously.

"So you're here not to buy flowers, but to sell them," the shop owner realized Wang Xiaoqiang's true intent.

"I'm here to sell, but if there's a nice plant, I wouldn't mind buying one," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang speak sincerely, the boss said, "Young man, do you really have a Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum orchid?"

"Let me show you a photo..." As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket and showed the photos of the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum to the boss.

The boss looked carefully for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Hey, it really is a Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum! Young man, where did you get this flower?"

"I found it in a stream on a mountain in my hometown," Wang Xiaoqiang replied nonchalantly, and deliberately made it sound mysterious: "This flower grows very hiddenly, you can't see it from above. It also suits my luck that I accidentally discovered it after falling into that stream, and it turned out to be a Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum..."

The boss's eyes brightened even more upon hearing this. Then he glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang again, somewhat casually, a cunning flicker passing unnoticed across his face, "Young man, then you've found a treasure. This Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum, to say the least, is worth five hundred thousand... If you're willing to sell it to me, I'll give you a lucky number, six hundred thousand!"

"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang snatched his phone back from the boss's hand and sneered, "It seems you don't understand the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum!

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoqiang turned to walk away.

"Hey, young man, come back here..." the boss called out eagerly to Wang Xiaoqiang and beckoned him. "If you really want to sell, we can still discuss it."

Wang Xiaoqiang stopped and said coldly, "I'm not fond of bargaining. If you really want to buy, give me a firm price!"

"One million six hundred thousand."

Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head.

"Young man, then you name a price," the boss said with a pained expression.

"A fixed price, two million," Wang Xiaoqiang declared. "With this price, you can still make a profit even if you sell now."

"Deal!" The boss appeared to take a loss, but inwardly he was thrilled. While there was not much profit in reselling at this price, he had no intention of reselling it. He planned to propagate from this Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum, aiming for a greater profit.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang knew the flower was worth that price, he still couldn't help feeling excited at the moment.

"By the way, young man, did you bring the flower from your hometown?" the boss asked eagerly, anxious to obtain the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum.

"I've brought it; I can deliver it to you anytime."

"You bring the flower back, and then I'll transfer the money to you, how's that?" the boss suggested negotiably.

"No problem. But until you transfer the money to me, the flower still belongs to me, and I can terminate this sale at any time," Wang Xiaoqiang stated.

The boss was taken aback by his words, thinking to himself that he couldn't tell this bumpkin was quite cunning. But with the price already so high at two million, it was unlikely anyone would offer more; hence he wasn't worried about Wang Xiaoqiang finding another buyer, and nodded in agreement, "No problem."
