Chapter 138 Self-defeating

On Zhuang Yawen's booth, Zhuang Yawen was taking two men, one old and one young, to observe the old butterfly orchid.

This man, an old man and a young man, is about sixty-seven years old. He is still tall, his hair is a little gray, a little bald, and his back is slightly bent, but he is full of momentum. At a glance, he knows that he is a senior in the flower bonsai world.

The old man has a pair of reading glasses on his nose, and now he is staring at the old butterfly orchid.

The other young man is twenty-five years old. He is tall and very handsome. Even compared with Liu Junwei, he is comparable!

This young man is dressed in a casual suit with a faint smile on his face, which is a bit of an idol star.

This man, Nie Yun and Zhuang Yawen have met once in Ludong. It was the boss of the entertainment company where the star Meng Feier is located, and Ouyang Tao, who had something wrong with Liu Junwei!

Ouyang Tao actually appeared on this bonsai expo at this moment!

This is a little beyond Zhuang Yawen's expectations. However, Ouyang Tao came with the tall old man this time. There seems to be some relationship between the two. In this way, Zhuang Yawen can't say anything... "Miss Zhuang, did you cultivate this butterfly orchid?"

The old man was still observing the old butterfly orchid, but Ouyang Tao said to Zhuang Yawen. Ouyang Tao and Zhuang Yawen can only be said to be reluctantly acquainted, not as close as Liu Junwei and Zhuang Yawen, so Ouyang Tao can only call Zhuang Yawen "Miss Zhuang", not "Sister Zhuang" like Liu Junwei and Nie Yun.

"This Phalaenopsis, looking at the color alone, is already a boutique among Phalaenopsis. And as far as I know, at present, such a colorful butterfly orchid should be very rare in the world, right? Miss Zhuang's butterfly orchid is definitely a rare variety. It must be worth it!"

While looking at this butterfly orchid, Ouyang Tao said.

Ouyang Tao's words, in fact, are mainly compliments.

There are thousands of varieties of orchids, and Ouyang Tao has never seen them one by one. Ouyang Tao has never seen this colorful Phalaenopsis. But Ouyang Tao also guessed that the butterfly orchid at Zhuang Yawen's booth was definitely not ordinary. Because of this, Ouyang Tao said that the butterfly orchid was a "rare variety".

What Ouyang Tao said just now was almost completely speculation!

"Oh? Has Mr. Ouyang ever seen such a butterfly orchid?

Hearing Ouyang Tao's words, Zhuang Yawen blinked and asked Ouyang Tao.

Tian Zhen, who was beside her, also looked at Ouyang Tao and waited for Ouyang Tao's answer. This old osmanthus was found by Tian Zhen's boyfriend Nie Yun. Tian Zhen is also a little concerned about its value. If this butterfly orchid is valuable, it at least represents Nie Yun's unique vision. Her boyfriend's vision is unique, and Tian Zhen is always happy.

When Zhuang Yawen asked herself this, Ouyang Tao's mood moved, and he immediately felt that what he had said before seemed to be more reliable.

Now Zhuang Yawen asks herself if she has ever seen such a butterfly orchid. In Ouyang Tao's opinion, if she said she hadn't seen it, then the previous judgment that this butterfly orchid is a rare species is completely nonsense, which is equivalent to admitting nonsense. Naturally, Ouyang Tao will not let this happen.

"Like such a rare orchid cultivated by Miss Zhuang, I have naturally never seen it in reality. However, I read an orchid magazine a few months ago, and one of the photos of the orchids is exactly the same as Miss Zhuang's orchid. I still remember the orchid vividly, but it's a pity that I saw it in which magazine, but I forgot it..."

With a smile, Ouyang Tao said.

"Oh, so that's it. However, this orchid was not cultivated by me, but by a friend of mine from the forest in Lijiang, Yunnan Province. Because I couldn't determine the variety, I asked Mr. Li and others to come and identify it. I didn't expect that Mr. Ouyang had seen this kind of orchid before. Unfortunately, Mr. Ouyang forgot which magazine he saw it in. Otherwise, he didn't need to identify it as troublesome as Mr. Li!"

Zhuang Yawen smiled gently and said casually.

Hearing Zhuang Yawen's words, Ouyang Tao's face was slightly unnatural.

Isn't this orchid cultivated by Zhuang Yawen? Is it dug out from the wild in Lijiang?

Many of those orchids in the wild are mutant varieties, which are unique in the world, but I said that I have seen this kind of orchid before. If I am sure that this orchid is indeed a unique mutant species later, I will be embarrassed... "That... In fact, the orchid I saw is just a flower color. The shape of the flower is exactly the same as that of this orchid. As for whether it is the same variety, it's hard to say. It's better to ask Mr. Li and others to identify it. Ouyang Tao said quickly.

The tall old man with glasses who came with Ouyang Tao is Mr. Li, a veteran of the bonsai faction of the Sichuan faction.

This time, Zhuang Yawen asked the predecessors in the bonsai world to help identify this butterfly orchid. Li Lao was one of the predecessors she invited. I just didn't expect that Mr. Li came here this time and even brought Ouyang Tao here.

In fact, when Ouyang Tao went to Chengdu this time, he wanted to talk to Mr. Li about something else. It happened that Mr. Li ran to the Bonsai Expo, and Ouyang Tao came directly. Ouyang Tao did not expect to meet Zhuang Yawen at the Chengdu New Year Bonsai Expo. However, on a thought, Zhuang Yawen's elegant pearl jade headquarters is in Chengdu, and it is normal for her to appear here, so she was relieved.

When he met Zhuang Yawen, it was impossible for Ouyang Tao not to move.

The last time in Ludong Province, Ouyang Tao wanted to cooperate with Yazhi Zhuyu through Mengfeier. I just didn't expect that because Meng Feier took the shelf, the cooperation was directly ruined, and even Zhuang Yawen didn't have a good impression of Ouyang Tao.

A few days later, the video of Ouyang Tao slapping Meng Feier in the studio spread on the Internet... The incident had a great impact on Ouyang Tao's entertainment company. After the incident, Ouyang Tao hid Meng Feier for the first time. Until now, the impact of "slap the door" barely faded.

Now when he met Zhuang Yawen at the Bonsai Expo, Ouyang Tao immediately sighed that it was running. This time I met Zhuang Yawen, it is definitely an opportunity. If I can seize this opportunity, I can let my entertainment company and Zhuang Yawen's elegant pearl jade go online. It is completely possible to cooperate closely in the future!

Because of this, Ouyang Tao complimented Zhuang Yawen on this orchid.

I just didn't expect that this orchid was not Zhuang Yawen's at all. Ouyang Tao's compliment seemed to hit the cotton with a punch, which was not effective at all.

What's more, if you can't do it well, you have to be self-defeating and leave a bad impression on Zhuang Yawen... Now Ouyang Tao can only pray that this butterfly orchid is not a rare variety, preferably a variety that has been published in a magazine before, so that he can still have a step down.

Just as Ouyang Tao was thinking about it, Mr. Li also looked away from the Phalaenopsis and straightened up.

"Li Lao, this butterfly orchid..."

Zhuang Yawen took a step forward and asked Mr. Li in a low voice.

And at this moment, Mr. Li waved his hand gently.

"In the past two years, there have been a lot of new varieties of orchids, including artificial hybrids and discoveries in the wild. I can't understand it alone. Well, when Lao Xu and Lao Qian come over, let them also have a look. Let us old men synthesize it up and give you a result!" Mr. Li said slowly.

"That's troublesome for Li." Zhuang Yawen thanked Mr. Li, and at the same time, she was also vaguely looking forward to it.

Mr. Li said so. Although he did not directly say that this orchid is a special variant, at least it also shows that this orchid will not be a relatively common species.

If it is the more common varieties, with Mr. Li's knowledge, you can definitely recognize them at the first time. At the same time, you don't need to be so cautious. After the other two seniors also come to have a look, they will synthesize the results. Zhuang Yawen estimated that Mr. Li had never seen such an orchid before.

After Li Lao and Zhuang Yawen finished talking, they couldn't help glancing at Ouyang Tao.

Mr. Li has never seen this orchid before. Ouyang Tao actually said that he had seen it in a magazine. It's really a lie.

Mr. Li is a predecessor in the bonsai industry and an authority in the orchid industry. Basically, Mr. Li knows the content of orchids in the flower magazines issued nationwide. There are even several orchid professional magazines, with Mr. Li as a consultant. Why hasn't Mr. Li seen the picture of orchids mentioned by Ouyang Tao?

"This boy, you can't make friends deeply..." Mr. Li shook his head secretly in his heart.

This time, Ouyang Tao came to Li Lao to talk about business cooperation. Li Lao is the authority in the orchid industry. He also runs a flower company. Originally, someone introduced Ouyang Tao's entertainment company and found several stars to endorse Li Lao's flower company. But now it seems that whether to cooperate with Ouyang Tao or not, Mr. Li has to weigh it... And when Zhuang Yawen and Mr. Li waited for the arrival of other predecessors in the flower bonsai industry, Nie Yun and Liu Junwei came first.

When he saw Ouyang Tao, Liu Junwei immediately frowned.

"Did Nie Zi, why did Ouyang Tao come here? You didn't come here specifically to find Sister Zhuang, did you?

As he walked to the booth, Liu Junwei asked Nie Yun.

"It's not like it, it seems that the old man brought it over, or passed by..."

Nie Yun also recognized Ouyang Tao at this moment.

The feud between Ouyang Tao and Liu Junwei, Liu Junwei told Nie Yun before that these two people are not only open entertainment companies and have a competitive relationship. At the same time, Ouyang Tao's father, Ouyang Yi, is the deputy secretary of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee, and Liu Zhong, the executive vice governor, has never dealt with each other. The two are political enemies, including Liu The two second generation of officials, Junwei and Ouyang Tao, usually don't like each other. Counting it, the two of them are feuds!

Now that the two meet, Nie Yun estimates that there must be a lot of sparks to wipe...
