Chapter 377


    "All done," Shi Jin replied simply.


    "Why don''t I juste back and apany you?"


    "Alright, focus on your research." Shi Jin was afraid that with his personality, Fu Xiuyuan would


    easily kill him.


    "So love will vanish, right?" Du Xian felt wronged.


    Shi Jin could not be bothered with him anymore.


    After a while, Du Xian sent another picture and said, "The frostbloom seed I found for you is already


    on the way. Look, Eldest Senior Brother is still the one who treats you the best, right?"


    This was a rare item. It wasn''t just difficult to find. Things like seeds were difficult to transport back.


    Just the customs inspection alone was especially difficult, but Du Xian managed to do it, evidently


    proving his sincerity.


    Shi Jin sent a thank you sticker.


    At night, Shi Jin tested the soil in the back garden of Orchid Pavilion and realized that none of it was


    suitable for growing frostbloom flowers.


    If even the soil here was not suitable, Shi Jin could not think of another ce that would work.


    She walked around the back garden, feeling a little worried.


    "Get Zhou Xu toe over," Fu Xiuyuan said to Song Fan, who was beside him.


    Song Fan paused for a moment before replying, "Alright."Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    He agreed, but wasining in his heart.


    Zhou Xu was an expert in soil research and a key representative of the National Environmental and


    Soil Key Research Institute. He had onlye to the Fu Corporation to do auxiliary rare mineral


    development work.


    He listened to Fu Xiuyuan, but even that was on ount of the Fu Corporation''s years of support


    for the research institute and the rtionship between the Fu Family and the Zhou Family.


    Did he want to call Zhou Xu over just to help Shi Jin nt some flowers here?


    Song Fan hesitated before making a call.


    Zhou Xu sounded tired. "Where do I have to go?"


    "Master Fu''s residence. He might need you to give some suggestions regarding the soil." Song Fan


    could only say this.


    Zhou Xu said, "I''ll be right there."


    Song Fan hoped that Zhou Xu would not hit him when he arrived. He returned to Fu Xiuyuan''s side


    and whispered, "Mr. Zhou will be here soon."


    Fu Xiuyuan didn''t say anything and focused on Shi Jin.


    She was also focused on what she was doing. Sometimes, she would stare nkly at the flowers,


    and other times, she would reach out to pick a leaf to observe.


    It was peaceful, and it was rare for there to be no interference. However, Song Fan''s heart was


    heavy as a rock.


    He calcted that it was about time and quickly walked out to wait for Zhou Xu.


    When Song Fan arrived at the entrance of the vi, Zhou Xu stepped out of the taxi. His sleeves


    were rolled up, revealing his tanned skin.


    "Mr. Zhou, Master Fu is waiting inside."


    "Alright." Zhou Xu walked towards the back.


    When they arrived at Shi Jin''s location, Fu Xiuyuan was still standing there and looking at Shi Jin


    from afar.


    "Master Fu, Mr. Zhou is here," Song Fan said.


    "Master Fu." Zhou Xu greeted him. He was neither servile nor overbearing. In front of Fu Xiuyuan,


    he had some pride.


    He followed Fu Xiuyuan''s gaze and saw a beautiful figure ying with branches in the bushes.


    He was stunned and recognized that it was Shi Jin. Initially, he didn''t pay attention to anything in the


    entertainment industry. However, he was interested in the yao orchid incident. He saw a photo from


    his colleagues and knew that Shi Jin had been cultivating the yao orchid.


    Yao orchids were not easy to raise. Moreover, professionals all believed that the previous auction


    price was actually underestimating the yao orchid.


    Its value was far greater than that.


    Zhou Xu and his colleagues had felt regretful before, afraid that Shi Jin would ruin the nt.


    Now, he raised his eyes to look... there were already dozens of yao orchids. The branches and


    leaves were dense, some already containing flower buds.


    There were also some other precious nts that Zhou Xu had only seen in books.


    He opened his mouth. Although he only studied soil and had limited knowledge about nts, he


    knew what the nts in the backyard represented.


    "Master Fu." Zhou Xu''s mouth suddenly felt dry.


    "Shi Jin wants to nt something. Shecks suitable soil. Help her get some." Fu Xiuyuan''s tone


    was calm, as if he was talking about a very small matter.


    Song Fan muttered in his heart. Zhou Xu, a genius from the research institute, was very proud and


    aloof. He never did things for fame or profit, only for real research.


    During a meeting with the higher-ups, he had gotten into an argument with an old shareholder. He


    had ced all his attention on his research. This task that Master Fu had arranged would probably


    damage his pride.


    Song Fan had already assumed a defensive stance, afraid that Zhou Xu would turn against Fu


    Xiuyuan on the spot.


    "Alright, I will prepare it immediately." Zhou Xu''s tone was surprisingly kind.


    Song Fan was stunned. He watched as Zhou Xu walked towards Shi Jin.


    This... Song Fan began to doubt his life.


    Shi Jin was tending to the flowers when she heard a voice behind him. "Miss Shi, what do you n


    to nt?"


    "Frostbloom," Shi Jin said in a low voice. "But frostbloom originally grows on cliffs. nts that grow


    by rocks might be difficult to nt. Perhaps we should simte that environment."


    Zhou Xu held his breath when he heard the word "frostbloom." He had heard his mentor in botany


    mention this before, but had never seen it before.


    Was it the frostbloom he was thinking of?


    He asked, "What does it look like? How''s the growth cycle?"


    He could hear his voice turning dry.


    Shi Jin gave a simple introduction and said, "Originally, the growth cycle should be four seasons,


    one life and one death. But I want to make use of modern technology and try to let it bloom twice a


    year, but it''s still early. I have to find suitable soil first."


    Zhou Xu said, "I should be able to send it to you in two days."


    "That''s great, thank you. I haven''t asked for your name."


    "Zhou Xu."


    "Shi Jin." Shi Jin reached out her hand.


    Zhou Xu shook it and felt that even the best jade could notpare to her hand.


    After greeting him, Shi Jin walked towards Fu Xiuyuan with a wide smile on his face. "When the


    frostbloom seeds arrive, I can nt them here."


    Fu Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow. "Congrattions."


    Song Fan looked at the scene before him and felt that he didn''t deserve to be this assistant.


    Zhou Xu stopped in his tracks. He watched as Shi Jin''s cold demeanor turned into a radiant one. He


    nced at Fu Xiuyuan and immediately understood. However, he wasn''t looking for suitable soil for


    the sake of Fu


    Xiuyuan.


    Just by looking at any nt here, he had a duty that he could not shirk.

    On Su Ying''s side, she went to the beauty salon after she went back and did some physical repair


    and stabilization. The swelling had subsided quite a bit.


    The doctor frowned and said, "You put on makeup again? This is very difficult to recover from. The


    substances in the cosmetics will increase your allergies, and it will dy your recovery."


    "How much longer?" Su Ying asked.
