The woman in the cowgirl outfit quickly walked a few steps and put the Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum on one of the seats in the back of the car after Zhong Ping unlocked the car, then waited for Zhong Ping and Wang Xiaoqiang to approach before she also opened the front door for them, showing both efficiency and eagerness.

Wang Xiaoqiang thought she looked like a female bodyguard, probably the bodyguard of the lady in the dress in front of him.

Eventually, Wang Xiaoqiang was seated in the back, with the two women occupying the driver's and passenger's seats, and the cowgirl started driving.

The car's air conditioning was on, providing a moderate warmth. A faint scent of perfume mingled with the fragrance of Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum, making the atmosphere very comfortable.

On the way to Agricultural Bank, Zhong Ping inquired about Wang Xiaoqiang's basic situation. He told her everything except for the part about his "superpower" in contracting land.

After learning about Wang Xiaoqiang's general background, Zhong Ping didn't look down on him because he was a mere farmer; instead, she took out a business card and handed it to Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "This is my business card. If you have any good flowers in the future, you can contact me, such as top-quality orchids like 'Tianyi Lotus'..."

Wang Xiaoqiang took the business card, glanced at it, and learned the woman's name was Zhong Ping, the boss of Jinli Lai, a nationally known retail company. No wonder she was so generous—it turned out she was a significant figure in the business world. However, he wasn't intimidated by her status.

His expression neither servile nor overbearing, he casually stuffed the business card into his pocket and said earnestly, "Alright."

Zhong Ping wasn't angered by Wang Xiaoqiang's slightly contemptuous gesture, suspecting that Wang Xiaoqiang might not have any concept of her status Plus, seeing the simple and straightforward nature of Wang Xiaoqiang, which had a certain charm, she smiled slightly and added, "Um, and if there's anything you need help with in the future, don't hesitate to ask..."

"Thank you," said Wang Xiaoqiang, grinning to reveal a set of white teeth. In her career up till now, Zhong Ping had only encountered sly smiles, commanding smiles, arrogant laughs, mocking laughs, and servile flattery...

It had been many years since she had seen such a genuine and clean smile, causing her to pause in surprise before she added another sentence, "Wang Xiaoqiang, I'm not just being polite. If you really need help with anything, just say so, for example, with work..."

The cowgirl was surprised. As Zhong Ping's driver and bodyguard, Qili, who had been with her for five years, knew Zhong Ping well. Zhong Ping would never pay such attention and care to a stranger or a person unrelated or non-profitable in business. Yet, today she unexpectedly offered help to a small-time farmer.

"Uh, I'm good with work," Wang Xiaoqiang said seriously, "I'm just missing a wife now."

Then Wang Xiaoqiang stared at Zhong Ping and smiled. It was still the same clean and simple smile, untainted by any other intent.

The mention of this made Qili blush with annoyance. If the other person wasn't extremely naive, then these words would have a sense of offense, even sacrilege. After all, Zhong Ping wasn't just a heavyweight boss but also a woman, and importantly, she had been single since her divorce many years ago.

Any man saying such words to a woman could be considered flirting.

But Zhong Ping wasn't angry. Her face reddened slightly before she burst into laughter. Turning her head, she said between laughs, "That's something I can't help you with."

Wang Xiaoqiang thought to himself, of course you can't help me, because you're not omnipotent.

Although Zhong Ping genuinely wanted to take care of Wang Xiaoqiang, it still made him uncomfortable. Thus, he cracked a joke, which, for Zhong Ping, was a bit too much.

Actually, Wang Xiaoqiang's statement had already made Zhong Ping a bit uncomfortable, but given her stature, of course, she wouldn't fuss over a small fry. Furthermore, Wang Xiaoqiang's simplicity and genuine smile didn't seem feigned, and that pure and unadulterated smile truly touched her long-frozen heart. She forgot to be angry.

When they arrived at Agricultural Bank, Zhong Ping didn't get out of the car but instructed Qili and Wang Xiaoqiang to go in together to transfer funds.

Inside the bank, Qili suddenly stopped, gave Wang Xiaoqiang a cold glance, and said in a stern voice, "You really don't know what's good for you. Our chairman has been so considerate toward you, and yet you spoke to her that way... You're just... Sigh..."

Qili shook her head.

In Qili's view, just now was an opportunity for Wang Xiaoqiang to leverage a situation to get ahead; she didn't know how many young people wanted to cozy up to Zhong Ping to climb the social ladder, but it was a pity that Zhong Ping rarely gave such chances.

Just now, if Wang Xiaoqiang had been willing to speak up, even though he only had a junior high school diploma, a word from Zhong Ping would have got him a good position at Holiland. Even though Wang Xiaoqiang was not short on salary at the moment, a respectable job was a significant opportunity for a farmer to raise his social status and was a good development opportunity.

"Everything I said was the truth..." Wang Xiaoqiang took out his bank card and handed it over to Qili, saying, "Hurry up and transfer the money for me. I'm short on time..."

Wang Xiaoqiang's words made Qili feel annoyed, sheesh, a small-time farmer, and he's short on time?!

She snatched Wang Xiaoqiang's bank card angrily, gave him a look, and said, "Are you in a hurry to go home and find a wife, eh?"

"Exactly!" Wang Xiaoqiang grinned and laughed.

"Sheesh, no ambition!" mumbled Qili as she went to transfer the money for Wang Xiaoqiang.

Staring at Qili's firm and full buttocks wrapped in denim, along with her capable yet carefree vibe, Wang Xiaoqiang stroked his chin and muttered to himself, what a wild one, androgynous beauty, non-mainstream, hmm, full of character!

If Qili had heard this, with her personality, she would have definitely torn Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth apart.

After transferring the money for Wang Xiaoqiang, Qili handed him back his bank card and a transfer receipt, saying, "Here you go, take care of it!"

Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang took the bank card and transfer receipt and stuffed them into his pocket without even looking, Qili couldn't help but remind him, "Hey, nouveau riche, you might want to check it..."

"No problem, I trust you!" Wang Xiaoqiang grinned and smiled, showing his white teeth as if he didn't have a care in the world.

Ultimately, Qili was amused by his genuinely natural smile and honest demeanor. Her usually formidable eyes shot a glance at Wang Xiaoqiang, yet surprisingly revealed a rare hint of feminine charm.

After parting ways with the two women, Wang Xiaoqiang leisurely returned to the Yijia Hotel alone.

Xia Guifang's clothes were dry and back on her, and when she saw Wang Xiaoqiang return, she asked, "Did you sell the flowers?"

"Sold them."

"Really got that much money?" Xia Guifang, with her girlish curiosity, was earlier told by Wang Xiaoqiang that the orchid could be exchanged for a high-end house in the Provincial Capital, and she was endlessly curious.

She couldn't fathom how a flowerpot could be worth so much—the price of a high-end house in the Provincial Capital was one or two million, an amount most ordinary farmers couldn't earn in a lifetime.

"Made a bit more. Not only can we afford a high-end house in the Provincial Capital now, but we can also buy a BMW!" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a happy heart and a bit of pride.

"Ah! That much..." Xia Guifang's rosy little mouth gaped wide, and it took a while before she managed to speak, "Really? For real?"

"Sheesh, why would I lie to you." Seeing Xia Guifang's surprised little expression, like a cute little girl, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her pretty cheek, saying, "Come on, let's go buy you some clothes!"

Suddenly touched by Wang Xiaoqiang, Xia Guifang didn't shy away, but her face turned red, and her beautiful eyes shyly dropped down. Her pale hands twisted together; her bashful demeanor resembled that of a new bride.
