Chapter 1982: The Hapless Fiancée vs. The Lady of a Wealthy Family (Part 17)
Gu Shengyin listened to her father’s plan and sighed in admiration.
As it turned out, what Chang Gensheng spoke of to her was precisely this matter of flower cultivation.
There is a potent business opportunity within!
Chang Gensheng’s intention was that they could go to the market to buy more seeds, categorized as ordinary and rare.
First try setting up a shop in the county town and see the results.
Chang Gensheng clearly saw that selling flowers in this town wouldn’t work; no matter how good the items were, few people had the leisure or money to afford them. It’s different in the county town.
He murmured on, meaning that they should aim for the high-end market in the future, selling flowers specifically to the Prominent families. The prices could be higher, without competing with regular vendors...
Gu Shengyin nodded continuously.
"There’s one more thing," Chang Gensheng suddenly said.
"I’ve inquired about it. In Cloud County, the highest status belongs to the County Magistrate and the Li Family, which has been entrenched here for several generations. The County Magistrate is the parental official, and it is said several family members of the Li Family hold official positions in the court, not to be ignored."
"I bought a few young plants, an Orchid Grass and an Eighteen Scholars. You should take good care of them and use them to pave the way," Chang Gensheng spoke with some heartache, as those young plants had cost him quite a bit of silver.
Gu Shengyin nodded, internally admiring her father’s careful consideration.
They were rootless in Cloud County, and only by receiving the local authorities’ support could they establish themselves.
Chang Gensheng gave some flower seeds to his daughter. Aside from those two special potted plants, the rest were common, fast-growing flowers and plants.
Thinking of the purpose of those two pots of flowers, Gu Shengyin sighed and dedicated all her effort to tending them.
Fortunately, under the nourishment of Spiritual Spring Water, these plants not only thrived but grew exceptionally fast.
Two months later, Gu Shengyin’s small yard was abloom with a myriad of colorful flowers, pleasantly fragrant, attracting many butterflies to linger.
Chang Gensheng looked at the two pots of flowers given to him by Gu Shengyin with an awe-struck gaze.
He was a businessman, and over the years his sharp eyes naturally could discern that these flowers, originally not considered very fine, had completely transformed in his daughter’s hands.
His confidence in the objective of this trip had increased from seventy to ninety percent.
Chang Gensheng once again embarked on the journey to Cloud County.
He went first to the Li Family because the current County Magistrate of Cloud County is said to be a disciple of a Li Family elder.
The County Magistrate reportedly also respectfully acts like a junior before the Li Family’s Old Madam who holds a royal decree.
Meanwhile, at the Li Family.
Li Jun, the oldest legitimate son of the second branch of the prominent Li Family of Cloud County, followed a man in purple garments with great respect.
The man in the purple robe had an extraordinarily handsome appearance, exuded an impressive aura, and when Li Jun, known for his suave demeanor, stood before him, the distinction was evident.
The man’s expression seemed cold, but upon closer observation, a hint of impatience could be discerned in his eyes.
"Young Master Qi... this is our Li Family..."
"Hmm?" The man seemed to notice something and walked towards a certain place.
Li Jun hesitated for a moment and quickly caught up when he realized.
The man in the purple robe walked straight to a servant holding a flower pot.
Frightened by his formidable aura, the servant trembled and quickly knelt.
The man in the purple robe ignored him and asked softly, "Where did this flower come from?"
He pointed at the pink Qiang Wei that the servant was holding.
