"By the way, Old Man Jian, I heard that there will be a pot of exquisite orchids on display in a while. It's the finale of today's show. Are you interested in buying it?" Speaking of exquisite orchids, Mr. Qian became excited again.
"Not interested."
"This doesn't seem like your style. Aren't you usually the most concerned about this?"
Grandpa Jian was acting a little strange today.
Not only was Mr. Qian curious, but Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan were also curious.
They knew very well how much the old man loved orchids. Whenever there was a rare species or a new species, the old man would definitely take a look at it.
"I just said that I'm not interested. I didn't say that I don't care," Grandpa Jian replied.
What was the difference? Boss Qian was puzzled.
When Grandpa Jian saw the confused look on Grandpa Qian's face, the expression on his face became somewhat smug.
After staying in the rest area for a while, the Jian family and Mr. Qian went to the last exhibition stand.
The mysterious object that was about to be revealed was surrounded by a large glass enclosure.
The glass cover was covered with a layer of red cloth.
The host of the exhibition was already in place.
The host began to introduce today's finale.
"This is a new species of orchid. It has a beautiful flower shape and a unique fragrance. Currently, there is only one of it in the world."
Just this sentence alone was enough to arouse everyone's curiosity.
After waiting for a long time, the staff of the exhibition finally removed the red cloth.
What appeared in front of everyone was a new type of orchid. The flower was purple, and it was the same as the famous White Crown Lotus Cauldron, a lotus petal orchid.
Unlike the plain color of the Plain Crown Lotus Cauldron, this one was a noble and elegant purple.
It had a beautiful shape and a unique color.
It immediately attracted the attention of the orchid lovers present.
President Qian clicked his tongue in wonder. "Beautiful, it's really beautiful. The lotus petal orchid's shape is graceful and elegant, and the purple color is graceful and luxurious."
Grandpa Jian didn't say anything. However, when he heard the compliments from the people next to him, he couldn't hide the pride on his face.
Jian Shuxing took the initiative to ask Grandpa Jian, "Father, do you like this orchid? I'll buy it for you during the auction later. "
"No," Grandpa Jian replied decisively.
When Jian Shuxing saw that Grandpa Jian was so persistent, he didn't insist on bidding anymore.
The others nearby had already begun to inquire about the price of this new orchid.
According to usual practice, such orchids would likely be auctioned off at a high price after they were exhibited.
But when they asked the exhibition hall staff, they got a different answer from what they expected.
The supplier of the exhibit did not intend to sell it, but simply sent it to be exhibited.
Everyone was disappointed, including CEO Qian.
He really liked this orchid and was ready to participate in the auction.
Grandpa Qian and Grandpa Jian sighed, "It's rare to see such a good product. However, it's not for sale. I feel uncomfortable."
That was his only hobby. He didn't like collecting jade or antiques. He only liked orchids.
Now that this little hobby of his wasn't satisfied, his heart felt stifled.
If he couldn't outbid others in the bidding, it would be fine. He would give up.
Now, he wasn't even given a chance to bid.
Grandpa Jian smiled and comforted Grandpa Qian, "Don't worry, Grandpa Qian. This kind of thing happens all the time. You can buy it again next time."
"Geezer Jian, you're really different today! Usually, you're the one with a bigger reaction than me. Why are you acting like a different person today? "
