Chapter 35: Saving the Tree



"Brother Yan, Doctor Su." Lu Lingxi greeted politely after getting out of the car.

The obvious difference in terms of intimacy secretly pleased Yan Yue. Seeing Lu Lingxi go to open the door, Yan Yue said to Su Lang as if he were the owner: "Come in and have a seat. Xiaoxi has tidied the store very well. After selling the spring orchid, you can take a look at the others."

Su Lang had almost finished chatting with Yan Yue, and when he saw Lu Lingxi bringing people back and obviously busy, he was about to leave, but stopped when he heard this. The old man liked these flowers and plants. The ones at home were either planted in the yard or the flower pots were too big to move. If the store had a suitable one, he would buy a pot and put it on the hospital window sill. Looking at it every day might make the old man feel better.

It is the hottest time of August, and today is especially hot and humid. The humid air is thick and seems to be frozen. There is no wind, and everyone is a little hot and suffocating. As soon as the door of Micro Gardening is opened, the greenery in the room suddenly appears. The humid air seems to be diluted by the greenery, and even breathing becomes smooth. Standing at the door, everyone feels that the small door seems to separate Micro Gardening from the outside into two different worlds, hot and clear.

Han couldn't wait to walk in, took a deep breath and felt a fresh air flowing through his body, which made him feel relaxed and happy. He and Yan Yue often came to Weiyuan Garden and were used to the freshness inside. Su Lang and the driver were both here for the first time, so they were a little surprised.

"It's so comfortable in here. I don't even want to leave." The driver drank the glass of ice water that Lu Lingxi poured for him in one gulp, then exclaimed loudly while sitting on the rattan chair at the door.

Brother Han nodded and said, "The environment in Xiaoxi's store is really nice. You know what, ever since I started to grow a few pots of flowers at home, I feel that the air seems to be a little better. Especially that Clivia, it feels comfortable when I get close to it."

"Is it so obvious?" The driver obviously didn't believe it. "Old Han, are you kidding me?"

Brother Han was not in a hurry and explained slowly: "You know photosynthesis, right? Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which is air, right? Xiaoxi is an obvious example. Speaking of which, I have to buy a few pots for my home. I want the kind that absorbs carbon dioxide very effectively. Xiaoxi, do you have any recommendations?"

After he said that, the driver also became interested. The on-site effect of micro-gardening was so obvious that he immediately came to Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi was moving several pots of spider plants onto a specially made three-layer rack, which would save space and be convenient when moving them to the car later. Yan Yue had been following him since he came in, and was now moving the pots with him. Seeing that the driver was about to get close to Lu Lingxi, he immediately separated the two of them without making a sound.

Lu Lingxi didn't notice his little action. While arranging the potted plants in front of him, he thought for a moment and said, "Dianthus, Belgian azalea, cyclamen, and hibiscus are all fine. They look good at home and can purify toxic gases, which is also good for the body."

The driver listened to him and immediately fell in love with Cyclamen, which was also a nice name. Su Lang was amused and asked, "What is the best gift for a patient?"

"Patient? Doctor Su, is your friend sick?" Lu Lingxi asked in surprise. He had been busy since he entered the store, and only had time to greet Su Lang hurriedly, and had no time to ask anything else.

"Grandpa's back is sprained."

"Grandpa Su sprained his back?" Lu Lingxi was a little surprised. A few days ago, he and Old Su went to the flower market, and the old man looked quite energetic. It was only a few days before he sprained his back. "However," Lu Lingxi said seriously, "We usually don't give potted plants to patients. It's not a good omen." Potted plants with roots can easily be misunderstood as long-term illness, which is a taboo for patients. Lu Lingxi didn't know before that the person who was discharged from the hospital left the pot of spider plant to Sister Tian. He only noticed it later when he read a book.

Su Lang laughed, "It's okay, Grandpa doesn't care. Besides, the flowers outside died after a few days, which would make Grandpa even more unhappy."

Hearing what he said, Lu Lingxi turned around and brought out a pot of calla lilies from behind the cashier counter. As soon as he brought it out, Brother Han was the first to ask in surprise, "Green?"

The calla lily in front of him was not the common yellow, white and pink color, but a very rare green color. The plant was tall and elegant, with tender green petals and emerald green leaves, which made the petals look even fresher. It stood gracefully in the pot, very eye-catching. This calla lily was picked up by Lu Lingxi at the flower market last time, and he took care of it after a few days. He originally planned to keep the calla lily at home, but because of the color after it bloomed, he thought of displaying it in the store.

If it was an ordinary customer, Lu Lingxi would be reluctant to take it out, but because it was Grandpa Su, he thought that the calla lily was suitable for giving to a patient in terms of both its meaning and color, so he suppressed his reluctance and took it out.

Brother Han looked at the calla lily with an itch in his heart, he really liked it. But Su Lang said that it was for a patient, so he was too embarrassed to argue, so he had to take a few more glances to satisfy himself.

Su Lang was also very happy, thinking that the old man would definitely like it, so he immediately asked, "How much?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head. "This calla lily is free. Doctor Su, please ask Grandpa Su for me. I'll go see him when I have time."

Su Lang was stunned for a moment, "How can you not charge money?"

Lu Lingxi insisted not to, Su Lang wanted to say something, but Yan Yue spoke up: "Forget it, don't reject Xiaoxi's feelings."

Lu Lingxi curved his eyes at Yan Yue and nodded to Su Lang, "This is my intention for Grandpa Su."

Su Lang left with Calla Lily, and Lu Lingxi also wanted to go with Brother Han to settle the remaining money, so Yan Yue was left alone in the store. Lu Lingxi was worried that Yan Yue didn't know anything about customers coming to the store, so he repeatedly told him to call him if he had any problems.

Yan Yue laughed and deliberately asked, "Do you have so little confidence in your brother Yan?"

Lu Lingxi looked embarrassed and was a little embarrassed to look at Yan Yue. Although he had this concern, would it hurt Brother Yan's self-esteem if he said it directly?

Yan Yue saw what Lu Lingxi was thinking from his face, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his hair, suppressing a smile and saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely call Xiaoxi if there are customers."

Lu Lingxi nodded with eyes curved.

The people from Micro Gardening left quickly, and no customers came to the store for a while. Yan Yue sat on a rattan chair at the door, surfing the Internet with his mobile phone and reading emails, while Dahei lay lazily at his feet. The man and the dog were in harmony.

There are a lot of emails in the mailbox. Yan Yue is not abroad during this period. There is a time difference of more than ten hours between the two sides, and it is not convenient to call. Many things of Dezhi Investment are handled by email. Fortunately, when he founded Dezhi Investment, in order to avoid being noticed by his family, he always hired professional managers to manage it. Usually, An Jie assists him, and many things are handled by them. There are not many things that really need to be reported to him.

At present, the most important thing for Dezhi Investment is the cooperation with NT. Anjie is obviously very efficient. As soon as he had contact with NT, Anjie immediately followed up in the name of Dezhi Investment. However, I heard that NT has been doubtful about the cooperation project and has been hesitant about whether to promote this project. If Dezhi Investment wants to win this project, it will probably be a struggle.

Once people put their heart and soul into work, time will pass very quickly. Yan Yue felt that he hadn't dealt with a few emails yet, and it was already 12 o'clock. But Lu Lingxi hadn't come back yet. He frowned slightly. Was it just that the checkout took so long? Or did the boy encounter other problems?

Not far from Han Ge's workplace, several gardening workers were treating a dead willow tree. China's economy has been booming in recent years, but the corresponding natural environment has been getting worse and worse. Fengcheng, as a large heavy industrial city, is one of the top ten cities in China with the worst environment.

This term of Fengcheng leaders has made environmental improvement a key project. When they first took office, they promoted tree planting throughout the city, and planted many saplings everywhere. But for a tree to survive, it is not enough to just plant it. Sunlight, rain, watering and fertilization are all essential, but these follow-up measures have not kept up. The sapling in front of us died due to lack of water, and these gardeners were about to cut it off and move it away. When Lu Lingxi passed by, he was just doing a habitual mental scan, but suddenly called Yi Hang to stop the car.

A white panel emerged.

Plant survival rate: Very low

The tree is not dead yet!
