After lunch at the manor, Liu Tiancheng took Lei Ren and Zhou Yan to the Huaxi Club, where the flower viewing party was held.
On the way, Liu Tiancheng explained to them the rules of the flower viewing party with great interest.
Participating members will take out their treasured flowers for others to appreciate, and then the organizing committee will review ten pots as candidates for the oiran, and then let everyone vote for the top three. Finally, their ability to appreciate flowers will be tested.
The owner of the top three flowers comes to the stage to point out the characteristics of other people's flowers. Whoever says the most accurately can become the oiran.
Therefore, an oiran is neither a human nor a flower, but a human and a flower. Only those who own precious flowers and have superb appreciation skills can be called a well-deserved oiran, otherwise they are just a collector at most.
Liu Tiancheng relied on his strong financial strength to be selected into the top three every time, but because of his lack of appreciation ability, he always passed by the courtesan, which made him extremely regretful. Therefore, he invited Lei Ren to come over this time.
Hope the disadvantage can be reversed.
Lei Ren smiled indifferently and said in his heart that you have come to the wrong temple if you rely on me. I have already told you that I don't know how to appreciate flowers, but you have to put your hope in me. If it fails, it won't concern me.
thing.
However, Lei Ren only thought this in his heart and did not say anything out loud. After all, Lei Ren had emphasized it many times before. If he continued to refuse, it would leave an aloof impression on Liu Tiancheng, which was not good.
Liu Tiancheng was obviously a long-time customer of Huaxi Club. The Lincoln sedan drove in without any obstruction, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw someone waiting beside the car.
"Mr. Liu is here really early!" The man stepped forward and smiled at Liu Tiancheng.
Liu Tiancheng smiled and said: "Isn't this just to avenge last year?"
"Manager Liu, this is my eldest brother Lei, and this is Director Zhou of the provincial department. Her father is the mayor of our city, Mayor Zhou." Liu Tiancheng introduced, "Brother Lei, Sister Yan, this is
Manager Liu Quan of Huaxi Club has served Mr. He before."
"Mr. Liu is talking about me again, isn't he?" Liu Quan smiled and stretched out his hand towards Lei Ren, shook hands with Lei Ren and Zhou Yan respectively, and then said politely, "It's really great that you two can come to Huaxi Club.
If you two don't mind, I will follow Mr. Liu and call you Brother Lei and Sister Yan."
Lei Ren and Zhou Yan nodded slightly and did not express any objection.
Seeing Liu Quan leading them, Liu Tiancheng couldn't help but smile and said: "You're welcome, Manager Liu, we can just see for ourselves."
Liu Quan thought that Liu Tiancheng was a regular customer, so he had no objection and went out to accompany other guests.
As Liu Tiancheng walked, he introduced Lei Ren: "Don't think Liu Quan is just a manager, but he is extremely shrewd. The owner of Huaxi Club entrusts him with all matters, as if he is the sole agent.
.And while Liu Quan took care of everything in an orderly manner, he actually gave people the impression that he was not authoritarian. Do you think it's strange?"
Lei Ren was somewhat sympathetic to what he heard. After all, he had similar experiences with the Canglong Gang in Africa, but the straight-faced Zhou Yan was not interested at all.
Liu Tiancheng was sensible. Seeing that Zhou Yan was not interested, he stopped talking about Liu Quan and introduced the flowers on both sides to them while walking.
"These are all ordinary products. You have to go in to see the real exotic flowers and plants." Liu Tiancheng turned around and said.
"Haha, Mr. Liu's vision is indeed extraordinary!" A burst of laughter suddenly came from the front. As soon as the laughter stopped, a middle-aged man came over following the sound.
Lei Ren looked at this man's face, which had the Chinese character for it. He had regular facial features. Although he was smiling, he had a sense of calmness and self-reliance. At first glance, he was what people often call a "superior".
Liu Tiancheng said with a sarcastic smile: "When it comes to vision, I can't catch up with you even if I'm a fast horse!"
"Young Master Liu, you are so humble. You can't catch up with your horse, so I can only sit on the Jade Rabbit." He said with a smile.
Liu Tiancheng smiled slightly and said to Guozilian: "Let's not flatter each other here." Then he turned to Lei Ren and Zhou Yan and introduced: "Brother Lei, Sister Yan, I am here to solemnly introduce to you, this
He is the owner of Huaxi Club, Dongfang Yi, who calls himself Mr. Fuji."
Dongfang Yi calls himself Mr. Fuji, and the "two" is not the "two" of "two", but refers to Dongfang Yi's words of "one and no two". Every word he says must be fulfilled, which is a sign of credibility.
Dongfang Yi didn't need to be introduced by Liu Tiancheng and said directly to Lei Ren and Zhou Yan: "I just heard from Liu Quan that we have two distinguished guests here, they must be Mr. Lei and Miss Zhou. Good afternoon, welcome.
Go to the Huaxi Club to attend the flower viewing party."
Liu Tiancheng said next to him: "Mr. Fuji is an expert in appreciating flowers. No matter what kind of flower, he can't escape his eyes. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the 'four diagnoses' of sight, smell, inquiry and cut, but Mr. Fuji has his 'four appreciations'. Look.
By looking at the color of the flowers, smelling their fragrance, listening to their language, and touching their shapes, I can basically explain the name, origin, and characteristics of the flower clearly.
Dongfang Yi smiled and said: "Tiancheng is laughing at me again, you can't take it seriously. Compared to Tiancheng, I am nothing. You will know later when the flower viewing party starts."
Dongfang Yi casually exchanged a few words with Lei Ren and others before walking backstage. He was the owner of Huaxi Club, so he should naturally host this flower viewing party.
"Welcome everyone to attend this flower viewing party. This flower viewing party will definitely not disappoint you." Dongfang Yi said in his slightly hoarse voice, "As in previous years, in addition to letting everyone enjoy the flowers, the club will also
Generous prizes have also been set up to ensure that everyone will not leave empty-handed. In addition, this year’s oiran will also receive a special mysterious grand prize. I will keep this a secret for now, and let’s start today’s flower viewing party now.”
As soon as Dongfang Yi finished speaking, the audience immediately burst into warm applause. Obviously, they were particularly interested in the prizes Dongfang Yi mentioned, especially the mysterious grand prize at the end.
The first part of the flower viewing party is the audition, in which ten experts from the flower association are invited to evaluate a large number of participating flowers and select the ten best pots of flowers.
As Liu Tiancheng's sure-to-win flower, his flower was undoubtedly among the top ten. In addition, a pot of white peonies from the host Dongfang Yi also successfully entered the top ten.
With the confirmation of the top ten, the relaxed atmosphere of the flower viewing party was suddenly swept away, and a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Those who can be selected into the top ten must be masters of loving and appreciating flowers. They should be here for today's championship, so although most of them still have thick smiles on their faces, their smiles are no longer as natural as before.
.
Zhou Yan saw Lei Ren silently looking back and forth at the ten pots of flowers that entered the top ten, and couldn't help but whisper in Lei Ren's ear: "Hey, do you understand?"
Lei Ren turned to Zhou Yan and joked: "Do you understand?"
Zhou Yan glared at Lei Ren and said angrily: "I don't understand what's wrong. Anyway, I'm not like some people who don't know how to pretend to understand. They put on a deep look and think that they have become an expert all of a sudden.
."
Lei Ren said with a smile: "I didn't say that I understand everything. I just think that these ten pots of flowers can stand out from countless flowers. They are already considered the best flowers. They are worthy of our careful appreciation, so we can't help but take a closer look. Of course.
, like Officer Zhou..."
Lei Ren took a look at Zhou Yan's figure, pointed at her head and said, "People who are small on top and big on the bottom will naturally not understand their beauty."
As soon as Zhou Yan saw Lei Ren's eyes, she knew there were no good words in it, and she immediately snorted angrily: "You are different from a layman! You can't even say their names, but you still understand their beauty, you think you are lying to a kindergarten kid.
ah!"
"Yes, that's what I think." Lei Ren nodded with a smile.
"Thunder Blade, you...hum!" Zhou Yan snorted coldly and turned her head away angrily, saying to her heart that this girl has taken this grudge and will make it look good to you when she gets back.
Lei Ren didn't take Zhou Yan seriously, and his eyes couldn't help but pay attention to the pot of black chrysanthemums on the far left.
I saw that the petals of the black chrysanthemum were very strange. They were not wrapped around the center of the flower like the petals of ordinary chrysanthemums. Instead, they showed an irregular shape, with teeth and claws spread out like a dragon's claw flying in the clouds. However, from the side, it looks like
, but it is somewhat similar to a high horse's head. In short, no matter which aspect you look at, the shape seems to be different.
"What kind of chrysanthemum is it?" Lei Ren was surprised, but he couldn't tell in his heart, because all the flowers were now placed in the glass cover, and people standing outside could not smell a trace of fragrance at all, they could only watch.
Just get to their shapes.
Just when Lei Ren was looking at it in rapt attention, a numbing sound sounded in his ears, and Lei Ren got goosebumps on his skin.
"Hey, isn't this our beautiful and elegant Officer Zhou? Yanyan, you and I are really destined to meet each other today. I didn't expect to be able to touch you here." While speaking, a man suddenly appeared and stood in front of Zhou Yan.
around.
When Lei Ren heard the words "beautiful and elegant" in his words, he almost fell to the ground. If a woman like Zhou Yan could be associated with elegance, then the world would be too unstable.
However, what Lei Ren didn't expect was that Zhou Yan seemed to be unable to stand the man even more, and her face instantly turned cold, like an inverter refrigerator. The cooling speed was absolutely astonishing, and it could reach the North and South Pole from the equator in one fell swoop.
Among the three people, Liu Tiancheng was the most interested. When he saw the disgusting man taking the initiative to get close to Zhou Yan, he couldn't help but smile evilly at Lei Ren and said: "Brother Lei, it seems your love rival has come out."
Lei Ren glanced sideways at Liu Tiancheng and responded with contempt: "Tiancheng, if Officer Zhou heard what you just said, do you know what will happen to her?"
"Destroy me?" Liu Tiancheng tried to ask.
Lei Ren shook his head and said: "No, she will not cripple you, she will only cripple your third leg."
