Chapter 76 Leave roots



Yan Yue found time to meet Xiao Feng the next day. They met at the flower garden of Qiu Tian Horticulture.

The flower garden of Qiutian Gardening is about the same size as that of Luxuan Gardening, stretching out to the horizon. Xiao Feng arrived earlier, leaning against the green pickup truck while waiting for Yan Yue, and habitually lighting a cigarette. Xiao Feng had heard of Qiutian's name before. He was the number one gardener in Fengcheng and one of the richest people in Fengcheng. But everything changed overnight, and he ended up with a bad ending.

Xiao Feng was somewhat emotional. He had never feared retribution before. He made dirty money and it was only right that he should not have a good end. But after a few days of leisurely life and a few meals with Wang Shuxiu, he saw that good days were waiting for him and began to be afraid. He thought of his elder brother who was far away in the northwest. His elder brother was even more ruthless than him in the past, but he met his elder sister-in-law who calmed down, accumulated virtues, and obeyed the law. He almost lived like a bodhisattva. He didn't understand it before, but now he probably understands his elder brother's mentality.

Before all these thoughts were over, Xiao Feng saw Yan Yue's car. He narrowed his eyes slightly, put out his cigarette, stood up straight, and waited for Yan Yue to come over. This was not the first time the two had worked together. Last time, they teamed up to cheat Lu Yishui, and this time they teamed up to take down Qiutian Gardening. While Xiao Feng was happy to cooperate with Yan Yue, he was also secretly afraid of Yan Yue. The other party was much more ruthless than him at his age.

Unlike Wang Shuxiu, as a man, Xiao Feng saw Yan Yue's intention towards Lu Lingxi at a glance. He pretended to know nothing tacitly, but thinking of Wang Shuxiu's temper, he couldn't help but feel a little gloating.

Yan Yue quickly got out of the car and looked at Xiao Feng politely, "Brother Feng."

Xiao Feng smiled and said politely, "Mr. Yan."

The intersection between the two was Lu Lingxi and Wang Shuxiu, and strictly speaking, they had no private friendship. Although they might become a family in the future, Xiao Feng would not be so stupid as to act like an elder in front of Yan Yue. Seeing how decisively Yan Yue attacked Lu Yishui, he probably didn't care much about the so-called elders. After the initial greetings, the two talked about the main topic, about the division of Qiutian Gardening. According to what was agreed before, Yan Yue took three quarters of Qiutian Gardening, and Xiao Feng took the remaining quarter. Specifically, the nursery belonged to Yan Yue, and the flower garden was half for each of them.

"How do we deal with the mature green plants in the flower garden?" Xiao Feng looked at Yan Yue. This was exactly his problem.

Since Qiu Jun transferred Qiutian Gardening to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng sent people to carefully count all the green plants in the flower gardens and nurseries, and found that a large part of the green plants were about to mature and need to be put on the market. In fact, this is also the most valuable part of Qiutian Gardening. However, due to the poisonous flower incident, Qiutian Gardening's reputation in the Fengcheng gardening market plummeted. The flower merchants and municipal units that had previously cooperated with it cancelled their cooperation, and there was no channel to digest this batch of green plants. In addition to Qiutian Gardening, Xiao Feng could only think of micro gardening. But the influence of micro gardening is too small after all, and he has no confidence in micro gardening. If he can't find a suitable channel in the near future, this batch of green plants can only be kept in his hands.

Xiao Feng knew nothing about the gardening market in Fengcheng, so he naturally pushed this problem to Yan Yue. Yan Yue didn't care about it, he had already made a plan. When Qiutian Gardening collapsed, a large market share was vacant in the Fengcheng gardening market. Several competitors of Qiutian began to seize the market. However, flowers and green plants are different from other products. Growth requires a period of time and cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. At the critical moment, whoever has sufficient supply will occupy the original share of Qiutian Gardening. Yan Yue has already contacted Xue Yongtong and agreed to sell these green plants in Qiutian Flower Garden that are not problematic to Lvxuan, doing Xue Yongtong a favor.

After solving these problems, the two looked around and left the flower garden together. Xiao Feng did not ask Yan Yue what he planned to do with the flower garden, and Yan Yue did not ask Xiao Feng about the follow-up arrangements. The two of them ended this cooperation tacitly, and no one said much.

Micro Gardening

Lu Lingxi was receiving Su Lang. He hadn't seen Su Lang for a while. He heard from Grandpa Su that Su Lang had been running around outside, and now he looked much darker.

Su Lang had something to ask Lu Lingxi this time. He carefully placed a flower pot in front of Lu Lingxi. Inside was a half-withered seedling that didn't look very good. "Xiaoxi, please help me take a look."

"This is..." Lu Lingxi didn't recognize the seedling in the flowerpot. He scanned it with his mind and a white panel floated in front of him.

Botanical name: Rabdosia rubescens

Plant Needs: Root Damage

Plant survival rate: low

Vegetative state: primary

"This is a wild wintergrass. Doesn't it look different from ordinary wintergrass?" Su Lang explained.

Lu Lingxi nodded. He had never seen winter ling grass, but he had heard of its name. Just by looking at the word "mutation" on the panel prompt, he could probably infer that this winter ling grass was different from the ordinary winter ling grass. He remembered that the origin of wild winter ling grass was far away in the southern part of Taihang Mountain, where the climate was relatively harsh, dry and rainless, and the soil was very barren. So, Su Lang went to Taihang Mountain?

As the thought flashed through his mind, Su Lang was already anxious to ask: "What will happen? Will it die?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head. Although the survival rate of this winter grass was relatively low, it should be fine. But he was a little curious why Su Lang was so nervous about this winter grass? As far as Lu Lingxi knew, winter grass was not a precious plant. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was almost the same as weeds. If there was anything special about it, it would condense thin white butterfly-shaped ice flakes in various shapes on the winter grass when the temperature was below 0 degrees in winter. The wind would not blow it off, it would sway with the wind, and it would sparkle after sunrise. It was said to be very beautiful. For this reason, winter grass also has a name called ice grass. Even if the winter grass in front of him had mutated, it was still winter grass in essence. Lu Lingxi was a little confused.

Although he was curious, he did not say anything. Instead, he carefully dug out the roots of the seedling and shook off the soil at the roots. He clearly saw a large crack at the roots. Lu Lingxi explained, "It was not done properly during the transplant, and the roots were damaged. Just take care of them." He arranged it skillfully, and Su Lang was obviously relieved.

"Xiao Xi, thank you so much." Su Lang said sincerely, "This winter rubescens is very important to our research, and it is related to the clinical treatment of leukemia. It is different from other winter rubescens. It took a lot of effort to find it. It would be a pity if it died."

Lu Lingxi thought that this winter grass was the first mutant plant he had seen, so it should be very rare. But he was more concerned about: "Leukemia?"

Since the wintergrass was fine, Su Lang's mood improved, and he said patiently, "Wintergrass may look inconspicuous, but it is actually a very important medicinal plant. The whole plant can be used as medicine. A substance called oridonin A can be isolated from wintergrass. It was previously thought that this substance had a killing and inhibitory effect on some common cancer cells, but a study not long ago found that oridonin A can also selectively kill leukemia cells and inhibit the activity of leukemia-initiating cells, thereby prolonging the survival of mice carrying leukemia. We are currently looking for different wintergrasses for further research, and we want to try to apply this research result to clinical treatment."

Su Lang couldn't help but beam with joy when he talked about his profession. Lu Lingxi listened carefully and laughed along with Su Lang. His smile caught the eyes of Yan Yue who had just walked in, and Yan Yue felt a little jealous.

"Su Lang."

Lu Lingxi reacted the fastest when he heard the voice, "Brother Yan, you're back?"

Yan Yue met his sparkling eyes and smiled subconsciously. "What are you talking about?"

Lu Lingxi repeated what Su Lang said. Yan Yue's eyes fell on the winter ling grass, thinking, "Is the effect so good?"

Su Lang nodded, "We are still studying the details, but the current experiments on mice show that the results are very good."

Yan Yue only asked this question. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, so the topic quickly turned to other things. Lu Lingxi couldn't get a word in, so his attention was put back on the winter ling grass. Su Lang didn't mention it this time. He was almost forgetting about his previous life. Leukemia, bone marrow transplantation, it would be great if Su Lang and his team could really develop a special medicine that could relieve leukemia in the early stages. Lu Lingxi thought of plant evolution, and his heart suddenly moved. Su Lang said that winter ling grass can be separated into a kind of winter ling grass alkaloid, so would this substance separated from the evolved winter ling grass be more effective? Especially this winter ling grass is still a mutant, if it evolves, will the effect be more different?

Lu Lingxi stared at the rooted winter ling grass with burning eyes. He didn't know how long it would take to grow this winter ling grass to the point where it could evolve. Seeing Su Lang's anxious look, he probably wouldn't keep this winter ling grass in the micro garden. He thought about secretly leaving some of the branches, and subconsciously began to study where to start.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Yue sent Su Lang away and came over to ask.

Lu Lingxi was startled and asked guiltily, "Where's Doctor Su?"

Yan Yue's eyes darkened and he said, "He just left. What are you looking for him for?"

Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and told Yan Yue his plan somewhat embarrassedly. He whispered, "This mutated winter ling grass should be very rare. Brother Yan, do you think the effect will be better after evolution?"

Yan Yue didn't expect Lu Lingxi to have this idea, so he decisively supported it and said, "We can try to raise it."

Being told so confidently by Yan Yue, Lu Lingxi was surprised and couldn't help but smile. He carefully extracted a small part of the root bud from the root of the winter ling grass and planted it in a flowerpot. "But." Lu Lingxi thought of something and was a little worried, "If it evolves, how should I tell Dr. Su?" After all, this winter ling grass was kept secretly.

Yan Yue didn't care, "Su Lang will be happy then, why would he care about these things?"

Lu Lingxi thought about it and agreed.

After taking care of the winter ling grass, Yan Yue mentioned the arrangements for Qiutian Gardening to Lu Lingxi. Yan Yue did not hide the matter of Qiutian Gardening from Lu Lingxi this time, but he just skipped some details that he thought the boy did not need to know. With the flower garden of Qiutian Gardening, Yan Yue had new plans for cooperation with Xue Yongtong.

Lu Lingxi didn't have any idea about these things. Anyway, Yan Yue would make the decision. He was not interested in this and preferred to stay in the flower garden and take care of the plants.
