Rebirth begins with marrying a female educated youth

"Are you coming back for dinner today?"

On Saturday, Meng Qi asked Meng Zhaoying who was about to go out.

"No, I'm quite busy today, I still have something to do." Meng Zhaoying responded and went out.

After she went out, Meng Qi put on the clothes and shoes he had prepared, tidied his hair in front of the mirror, and went straight to Fangcaoxuan on Flower and Bird Street.

Arriving at Fangcaoxuan, Meng Qi stopped and strolled into the shop.

A customer is buying flowers from Ji Yuanhai.

Fangcaoxuan is a signboard in the flower circle of the provincial capital. Even if you buy a pot of ordinary daffodils and plum blossoms, it will be better than other shops. This is already a recognized fact.

Even so, from time to time someone will lament "Why is the price so expensive?"

For example, this customer now... He also felt that he had some spare money on hand and had a few thousand yuan in savings. He thought that he would be able to live a good life without worrying about food and drink for the rest of his life, so he went to Flower and Bird Street to take a stroll.

After looking at this place and that one, of course I felt that the flowers and plants here in Fangcaoxuan were better than those in other places, and they looked so fresh and pleasing to the eye. This guest couldn't help but ask Ji Yuanhai for the price.

The first thing I asked about was the Clivia. After all, it is the most fashionable flower nowadays. It is displayed in the Great Hall when receiving foreign guests. It is almost like the national flower.

Good guy, a pot costs 80 yuan, which is enough for an average person to earn two months’ salary!

The guest suddenly couldn't hold back a scream.

"It's so expensive!"

I have finally saved several thousand yuan, but can I only afford dozens of pots of flowers? This thing doesn't provide food or drink, and it's not a house, so what's the use of it? Even if the children are getting married, there are no flowers and plants...

This customer who felt that the price was "high and not worth it" immediately wanted to leave.

However, he was also timid. The more he made up his mind not to buy it, the more he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more.

"Boss, this pot of flowers costs 80 yuan, which is not cheap - do you have more expensive flowers and plants here?"

Ji Yuanhai had already noticed that he didn't seem to want to buy much, and also noticed a rather dignified middle-aged man standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, waiting to come in to buy flowers and plants. However, doing business must have a beginning and an end. It is appropriate to praise the high and never to detract from the low.

Therefore, Ji Yuanhai did not rush to chase the person away. Instead, he smiled and introduced the man to the Song Mei orchid and Longchang Su orchid, which cost 600 yuan per pot. By the way, he also introduced the Dragon Claw Red Orchid, which costs 5,000 yuan per pot.

"Huh? Huh? Ah!"

This guest opened his mouth and kept saying "Ah" from beginning to end, in disbelief.

"Boss, you're not kidding me, are you? Do you think I won't buy it, so you deliberately offer a high price to fool me?"

"A pot of flowers costs five thousand yuan, who can believe this?"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "That's not true. Dragon Claw Red Orchid ranked first in the provincial capital flower exhibition last year. The gold medal hanging on the wall and the certificate attached can be used as proof. You can take a look."

"this……"

The guest looked at the gold medal and certificate carefully and didn't know what to say.

He still couldn't tell whether it was true or false - how could such an outrageous and exaggerated price be possible? But what they said has a beginning and an end, and it doesn’t seem like they were just making it up casually?

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "I also have photos and news in the newspaper reporting this matter in my store. Do you want to take a look?"

"Let me see!" the guest said immediately.

Ji Yuanhai handed him a well-preserved newspaper. After reading it, the guest finally confirmed that it was genuine and gave Ji Yuanhai a thumbs up: "You Fangcaoxuan, you are so awesome! You are so awesome, it is even in the news." Got it!"

"I don't have enough money to buy such expensive flowers and plants. Let's talk about it later."

As he spoke, he walked out.

Ji Yuanhai sent him out with a smile: "You walk slowly..."

He turned to Meng Qi, who had an extraordinary bearing and slightly old clothes, and said, "Hello, do you have any flowers or plants you want? Can I help you look for them?"

Meng Qi looked at the Era Sea and placed a few labels in his mind.

"Philistine", "unfaithful", "treacherous"...

Needless to say, looks and appearance, if he didn't have a good skin, he wouldn't be tempted by his precious daughter; but Meng Qi always wanted to explore the thoughts behind the good skin.

Before coming, Meng Qi actually knew that Ji Yuanhai was not a simple person - someone who could make friends with Feng Xue, Yue Feng, Meng Zhaoying and even Ma Xiangqian and Boss Hua would not be a simple person at all. .

It's just like Sister-in-law A Qing in the Peking Opera movie Shajiabang. Both good and evil people have a good relationship with him. It's hard to say what kind of person is thinking, but she must have a delicate heart with seven orifices.

Meng Qi came here today just to see if he had deliberately confused his precious daughter and used such bad tricks.

While thinking in his mind and looking at the flowers and plants in Fangcao Pavilion, Meng Qi said: "Well, I really haven't thought about it yet... I just want to take a look..."

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Okay, just take a look."

"You just told that comrade that a pot of flowers cost five thousand yuan?" Meng Qi asked.

"Yes, it's five thousand yuan. You must have heard that it was the number one flower at the flower show, and it was also a unique new orchid variety cultivated here." Ji Yuanhai said.

"You mean, you can't buy it anywhere else, you can only buy it here?" Meng Qi asked again.

Ji Yuanhai continued to explain to him: "That's not true. My Dragon Claw Red Orchid has been sold for almost a year, and many people have bought it for flower seeds. At this time, in this Fangcaoxuan Besides, there should be more than a hundred dragon-claw red orchids."

"It's still quite rare. In a few years, if the number grows to several thousand, the price won't be the same as it is now."

"Oh, rare things are valuable." Meng Qi said calmly, "This is the principle of doing business, rare goods are worth living, and the one with the highest price will get it."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "You are educated, and what you say sounds right."

Meng Qi couldn't help but smile, and then he was surprised - this guy has a way of praising others!

Treacherous, simply too treacherous! I almost fell into his trap!

Looking at the flowers and plants, Meng Qi changed the topic: "Boss, what flowers do you have here represent love?"

Ji Yuanhai replied: "If you ask, I can tell you that roses, lilies, gardenias, lotus and the like all represent love. However, I personally don't like this kind of flattering statement."

"Oh? How do you say this?" Meng Qi asked.

Ji Yuanhai expressed his opinion: "If the feelings are real, do we still need these specific flowers to express feelings? What flowers represent strong love, eternity, waiting for a lifetime, single-mindedness... It doesn't even mean anything. It’s too big. True love is an emotional issue between people. Flowers and plants are considered plants and can only be given as gifts. How can they really affect people’s feelings?”

"Things like this are like going to a temple to burn incense and pray for good fortune. Those who are leaving cannot be left behind, and those who are coming cannot be stopped either."

When Ji Yuanhai said this, even Meng Qi, who had a bad impression of him, couldn't help but laugh: "You are a flower seller, tell me, you don't actually believe this?"

"You should tell people who come to buy flowers what kind of flowers and plants can be used to pursue love, symbolize love, and let people spend money to buy your flowers; for example, in movies, giving people roses or a bouquet has become a common practice for many people It’s a symbol of love in the eyes.”

"What you said is contrary to other people's ideas and your own store. Can this business still be done?"

Ji Yuanhai smiled calmly and said: "I am telling the truth. I personally do not believe in sending flowers or not. What kind of flowers are sent to represent what kind of love is not meaningful to me. But it can be done when getting married. Putting some flowers and plants as a sign of good fortune and good omen is still acceptable."

"Besides, do you think I sell flowers like roses, lilies, and lotus flowers in my shop? Since I don't sell any, there's no need to say so many nice things, right?"

"What a profiteer!" Meng Qi couldn't help but smile and said, "I thought you had some ideas. It turns out that you don't want to buy something yourself, so you can say bad things!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "My guest, what you said doesn't make sense. I don't buy or sell by force, nor do I hoard. Where does the term profiteer come from?"

"You can just listen to what I just said if it makes sense to you. If it doesn't make sense, just think of me as disturbing you."

Meng Qi looked at him again, and from his frank attitude, he once again felt that this young man was different.

Now I am just an ordinary customer who comes to buy flowers. His speech and behavior are neither humble nor arrogant. He is knowledgeable and has a sense of humor. It is really difficult for people to feel disgusted.

Among young people of his age, there are very few who are as outstanding as him.

"Listen to what you said, flowers and plants are secondary. You are quite young and have your own opinions on love." Meng Qi said with a smile, and finally revealed his true purpose.

Ji Yuanhai just smiled after hearing Meng Qi's words: "Take a closer look, what flowers and plants do you need?"

I am a lecturer for you for no reason, how can I have such free time?

Seeing that he had changed his words, Meng Qi's eyes narrowed slightly: "With this kind of knowledge, you must be a master in love, right? Can you talk to me?"

Ji Yuanhai felt a little weird when he saw him specifically saying that, so he replied: "I think you have rich life experience and have eaten more salt than I have ever eaten. How can I have anything to talk to you about this aspect?" of?"

"How about you look at the flowers and plants first. If you see something you like, call me..."

As he spoke, Ji Yuanhai raised his head and looked at a man holding a dragon claw red orchid at the door: "Boss Huang, you are here - is there something wrong with the dragon claw red?"

"Yes, I see that the rhizome is not good and is very sick. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Ji Yuanhai looked down and said: "There is too much water and the environment is too dark. Although the Dragon Claw Red Orchid does not like to be exposed to the sun, it cannot be too dark and it is easy to be without ventilation."

Boss Huang said awkwardly: "You don't blame me for that. The weather in the north is dry and dry. I'm afraid of dying from the sun or dying of thirst."

"It seems that I accidentally overdid it..."

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "You are also an expert in growing flowers. You must have felt that Longzhao Hong was too precious and didn't know how to pamper and care for her, so this happened."

"You can just raise it like an ordinary orchid. If there is a problem, come back to me. It will be fine."

"Then this flower - can it still be saved?" Boss Huang asked.

"Yes, you can just leave this pot here with me. You can just bring a new pot of Dragon Claw Red back and I won't delay your business." Ji Yuanhai said.

"Oh, how embarrassing is this!" Boss Huang said embarrassedly, with a look of ecstasy on his face. Apparently, Ji Yuanhai happily replaced him with a dragon claw red orchid worth 5,000 yuan, which he had never thought about. An unexpected surprise.

After saying a few polite words to Ji Yuanhai, he put down the sick Dragon Claw Red Orchid. Boss Huang picked a pot of Dragon Claw Red Orchid: "Then, Boss Xiao Ji, I'm leaving now?"

"Boss Huang, please walk slowly." Ji Yuanhai said.

Boss Huang took two steps and was so happy to see Ji Yuanhai that he turned around again.

"Xiao Ji, you are so generous in your business. I admire you - you can call me Brother Huang from now on. This is my contact information. You can write it down. If you need anything, please call me. I will definitely help you if I can."

"We will keep in touch from now on. If you go to Watai, be sure to find me. Don't be polite to me. I will do my best to be a landlord."

Boss Huang put down a new pot of dragon claw red orchids, shook hands with Ji Yuanhai, and said seriously.

This is friendship in the business field. It is rare to say that it is valuable. After all, it will be more convenient for businessmen to have a wider social circle. However, it is unrealistic to expect others to help. After all, there is another principle, which is to talk about business in business. .

Ji Yuanhai called "Brother Huang", talked to Boss Huang for a while, and watched him leave with the Dragon Claw Red Orchid.

When he turned around, the middle-aged uncle who was just about to discuss love with him was watching him with a strange look.

"Have you picked out the flowers and plants? Are there any you like?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

Meng Qi shook his head slightly: "Are you sure you can save this pot of flowers worth five thousand yuan?"

"it should be OK."

"Then you have to invest a certain amount of time and energy in this area, right?" Meng Qi asked again.

Ji Yuanhai nodded.

"Why do you want to cause yourself so much trouble and make such friends?" Meng Qi said.

"In doing business, being honest and making things convenient for others is not a bad thing after all."

When Ji Yuanhai said this, he suddenly looked at Meng Qi with a smile: "I haven't asked for your name yet? I always feel that you are not here to buy flowers, but come to talk to me specifically?"

Meng Qi pondered for a moment: "I am Meng Qi."

The smile on Ji Yuanhai's face suddenly froze for a moment.

It would be okay if someone else came to chat.

But the topic that Meng Zhaoying's father came to talk to about was actually about love, and it also had a hint of probing - he was afraid that something was going to happen!

Then Ji Yuanhai asked calmly, "Are you Meng Zhaoying's father?"

It's better to deal with it calmly. There's no point in panic. Let's see what he says.

Since Meng Qi said his name, he didn't mean to hide his identity. He nodded directly: "Yes, it's me."

"Hello, Uncle Meng!" Ji Yuanhai said immediately, "My wife He Ling and my daughter Meng Zhaoying were classmates in the past, and they were very close best friends. Meng Zhaoying occasionally came to Fangcaoxuan as a guest, and I also heard her mention it Pass you."

Meng Qi nodded and looked at Ji Yuanhai, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Ji Yuanhai had just entertained three guests, including Meng Qi himself. Meng Qi felt that it was difficult for him to describe this young man with the previous labels of "philistine" and "treacherous".

He is very smart, speaks well, and is not the kind of person who flatters people. Meng Qi even saw a businessman being influenced by him and making friends with him, which shows that his ability is unusual.

In addition, his appearance and figure are all excellent, so it is easy for people to like such a person. Whether he is doing business or serving as an official, his future will not be too bad.

Meng Qi had to admit that his daughter had a very good vision and she was a good enough person. If coupled with the fact that Ji Yuanhai still "understands" and "trusts" Meng Zhaoying, under the same conditions, any girl would be tempted. I can't blame my daughter...

If Ji Yuanhai hadn't gotten married, Meng Qi would have been very satisfied with such a "son-in-law."

However, he was already married - and with all his strengths and attractions, it was so inappropriate!

"I've heard of you too, Ji Yuan Hai."

Meng Qi considered it carefully and said, "You are a very unusual young man. You were born in the countryside. You are constantly striving for self-improvement and have passed the examination in the provincial capital."

"My academic performance is among the best, and I also do business in my spare time. In just three years, I have a huge amount of money that ordinary people can't imagine. I just sell some rare flowers and plants for 300,000 or 100,000. Now I estimate that I have 100,000 yuan." Is it more than 10,000?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Well, Uncle Meng, it's more than one million."

"It's not easy, it's really not easy." Meng Qi said, "Whether it's going to college or running a business until now, it's not easy."

"Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"After graduation next year, I will be assigned to a unit and we will see how things go." Ji Yuanhai replied.

"Are you going to pursue an official career?" Meng Qi asked.

Ji Yuanhai replied: "I may not have the ability, but I will just give it a try; when the time comes when it won't work, I will have no choice but to come back to do business."

Meng Qi heard what he said was modest and polite, but he didn't take it seriously.

Is there anyone with a millionaire who would give it a try? This must be done with considerable determination, and it is by no means as simple as giving it a try.

"It might as well give it a try..." Meng Qi said this. After all, he couldn't worry about his precious daughter, so he brought the topic back to love, "Ji Yuanhai, let's continue the topic we just talked about... What do you think about love? , what’s your opinion?”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "It is not appropriate for us to talk here."

"Uncle Meng, you are here as a guest. Let's go sit down and chat in the back room."

As he spoke, he called Lu Heling out.

When Lu Heling heard that Meng Zhaoying's father, Meng Qi, had arrived, she quickly called Uncle Meng.

After being polite, Meng Qi and Ji Yuanhai went to the back room to talk, while Lu Heling was selling flowers and plants in the front shop.

In the back room, Ji Yuanhai made tea for Meng Qi. The two sat down to chat, and then brought the topic back to "love."
