Chapter 403: Qingyun Local Specialties +1 (Update 1)
After Manager Tang finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Wenqian to move, he pulled out a wallpaper knife from the pen holder.
The sharp blade slowly cut the tape on the cardboard box, and a faint fragrance flowed out from the gap in the box, which gave the two people in the room a startle.
Manager Tang quickly opened the lid of the box, revealing the foam shock-absorbing film inside.
"Oh my god! What kind of local specialty is this? It's wrapped so tightly!"
Manager Tang said as he cut open the shock-proof film.
When the wallpaper knife cuts through the last layer of film——
A faint white light, like the soft glow of a night pearl, flowed out from the shock-proof film.
Shen Wenqian and Manager Tang were both stunned when they looked at the things in the box.
"This is……"
Inside the huge box were two rectangular transparent glass covers.
The glass cover is about half a meter high, and the bottom of the cover is an exquisitely carved white round basin.
In the soil of the round pot, there are almost transparent light blue rhizomes growing.
The rhizome is about the thickness of an adult woman's thumb, growing straight and flexible upward.
Around it, there are light blue transparent leaves.
The veins of the leaves are clearly visible, and it seems as if water is flowing inside.
And at the very top of the stem is a flower that is as blue as ice.
The shape of the flower looks a bit like a lotus, with large petals as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear and emitting a faint light.
“…So beautiful!”
Manager Tang exclaimed in amazement.
But he quickly reacted and turned to Shen Wenqian, puzzled: "That's not right, Old Shen! Where are the local specialties you promised?"
Shen Wenqian was also a little confused.
He scratched his hair and said hesitantly, "...Maybe flowers are the local specialty of Qingyun Village?"
Manager Tang: “…”
I'm sorry, I'm not well-educated and have never heard that flowers can be used as local specialties.
He was speechless for two seconds, then asked, "What about this flower?"
"Such beautiful flowers, of course we have to keep them." Shen Wenqian tore the box open with his bare hands, "Can you help me move it? The glass cover looks a bit fragile to me."
Manager Tang quickly helped him cover the bottom of the glass cover.
The two men carefully lifted the glass cover and moved it to the windowsill. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the office.
Shen Wenqian turned around and saw his childhood friend and chairman Xu Hao standing at the door holding a thermos cup.
Xu Hao: "What are you two doing?"
"I'm moving flowers." Shen Wenqian pouted at him, "You've come just in time. This thing is a bit heavy. Give me a hand."
Xu Hao responded.
He put down the thermos and walked over, his eyes casually sweeping over the flowers in the glass cover.
"Hmm?" Xu Hao paused.
He bent down, stared at the petals that were as transparent as cicada wings, and slowly frowned.
Shen Wenqian couldn't help but kick him, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and move the flowers, it's so heavy!"
“…”Xu Hao didn’t move.
He looked at the flowers in the glass cover, his eyes gradually changing from suspicion to shock.
"This flower..." Xu Hao pointed at the glass cover, his voice trembling. "Whose is it?"
Shen Wenqian: "Mine."
Xu Hao raised his head in disbelief, "You bought it?!"
"Do you think I'm someone who likes buying flowers?" Shen Wenqian smiled and shook his head. "Xiao Qi's family gave it to me. They said it was a local specialty from their hometown."
“…” Xu Hao’s eyes went dark and he almost fell to the ground.
Shen Wenqian was shocked by his reaction.
"Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you? Low blood sugar?"
"It's okay..." Xu Hao leaned weakly on the desk and pointed at the glass cover tremblingly, "...Do you know what this flower is called?"
