On the third day, the Flower Exhibition began.
In the first two days leading up to the Flower Exhibition, An Yiran had been busy with a group of women preparing for the event, leaving no need for Master Xiao to intervene.
After all, An Yiran had been immersed in the Duan Group for many years; she worked efficiently and methodically. Even the highly self-assured Takahashi Yukiko admired her greatly.
Originally, when it was heard that Mayor Shen Tieshan would be attending, Xiao Yun planned to visit him personally. Unexpectedly, An Yiran had already gone ahead.
Xiao Yun couldn't help but cheer inwardly, "Sister Yiran, you truly are my confidante!"
The Fragrant Flower Shop had changed its name to Drunken Beauty Flower Hall.
With this name change, it indeed attracted attention. Anyone passing by couldn't help but stop and take a curious glance at the sign.
News about the Flower Exhibition had already been released through various media outlets. With Mayor Shen Tieshan's involvement and his wife Xiao Ling leading the charge, there were naturally many eager to report on the event.
On the day of the Flower Exhibition, Qiu Yue and Geng Xingsheng set off from Panlong Mountain just after one in the morning. By the time they arrived at Galactic District, dawn was just breaking in the east.
Various colorful flowers were quickly arranged throughout the Flower Hall, which featured characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. Each type of flower had a small sign beneath it indicating its name, fragrance, and beauty properties.
Geng Xingsheng was responsible for organizing the newly produced Beauty Perfume into various categories and specifications for display in the exhibition cabinet.
Little Bell along with Black Fox and White Cat also arrived; they were tasked with ensuring Qiu Yue's safety along the way. Given that Qiu Yue's background remained a mystery, Xiao Yun dared not let anything happen to her. He had secretly instructed Little Bell and others to protect her closely as soon as she left Panlong Mountain.
Li Qiqin had already become a manager at the Panlong Mountain Production Base. Therefore, when Geng Xingsheng came to Galactic District, she voluntarily decided to stay behind at Panlong Mountain to oversee some production matters. The Old Village Chief and Qiu Yue's parents were unable to come to the galaxy due to other commitments.
In truth, Xiao Yun understood very well that Li Qiqin preferred to remain at Panlong Mountain and avoid coming to the city out of fear that Hong Qichang might find out and cause trouble for her.
Returning to the topic, when the person with the surname Hong saw Xiao Yun, it was like a mouse encountering a cat; he was terrified and would not dare to provoke her.
Around 9:30, the Flower Exhibition officially began. Shen Tieshan and relevant leaders were present, but there is no need to elaborate on some of the ceremonial aspects that took place.
Due to prior media promotion, many people came to see the Flower Exhibition, especially women who love flowers in Galaxy City.
The most eye-catching were the members of the City Beauty Association led by Xiao Ling, numbering two to three hundred. They were mostly wives of officials, wealthy women, and those with a certain status and influence in Galaxy City. Their appearance dazzled everyone; although many were middle-aged, each one was graceful and charming, adorned with jewels and elegant attire, creating an overwhelming atmosphere that captivated all.
Some male Beasts gathered at the entrance to watch the spectacle. Upon seeing the vibrant group led by Xiao Ling, they were left slack-jawed, their eyes wide open and drooling.
Under the various gazes directed at them, the ladies felt elated as they proudly followed Xiao Ling into the Exhibition Hall. However, at that moment, their attention was suddenly drawn to a woman who entered the hall, making them feel overshadowed by her brilliance.
This woman had an exquisitely graceful figure, dressed in a light blue robe. Beneath her spring-like brows were sparkling eyes filled with spiritual energy. Her delicate and straight jade-like nose complemented her beautifully curved rosy lips and uniquely shaped chin. Her fair face bore a natural blush.
She moved lightly as if gliding over water, and when she smiled, it illuminated the entire hall.
"What an extraordinary beauty!" Xiao Ling thought to herself. She recalled feeling a similar astonishment when she saw Duan Qingxue at the banquet held at Emperor Hotel for Wilson's proposal to Duan Qingxue after arriving from America; it felt like she was experiencing that sensation all over again.
Where did Xiao Yun find such an angelic beauty?
As the ladies marveled in surprise, they began to feel somewhat inferior in front of this unparalleled beauty.
At that moment, Xiao Yun arrived just in time, holding the woman's delicate hand as she approached Xiao Ling and introduced her: "Madam Shen, I am very pleased to welcome you. Let me introduce you; this is Qiu Yue. All the flowers in this Exhibition Hall were cultivated by her own hands!"
"Oh my! Qiu Yue, I am so delighted to meet you!" Xiao Ling exclaimed as she grabbed Qiu Yue's hand and couldn't bear to let go.
Looking at the flowers displayed in the Exhibition Hall, the ladies could hardly contain their excitement. The flowers were vibrant and varied in shape; some were pure and plump, dazzling in their brilliance; others were luxurious and charming; still others fluttered like butterflies, resembling fairies dancing... It was a feast for the eyes, overwhelming and captivating.
The names of the flowers were even more astonishing: Drunken Red Lips, Eye-catching, Tears of a Lover, Moonlit Beauty Casting Shadows, and so on. They were so fresh and poetic.
What particularly intrigued them was that these flowers not only had unique fragrances but also offered different benefits for beauty.
The desire to be beautiful is inherent in every woman, especially for those like them, who even dream of how to turn back the clock from forty to the youthful age of eighteen.
Upon seeing these flowers, they realized that time could indeed be reversed for women.
The women quickly surrounded Qiu Yue, like stars surrounding the moon, leaving the introducer, Master Xiao, feeling isolated.
"Brother Xiao, what are you daydreaming about?"
As those women flocked around Qiu Yue heading towards the Beauty Perfume exhibition hall, a loud voice called out from behind him.
Turning around, he saw An Yiran leading Shen Tieshan and others coming from another direction.
"Shen brother!" Xiao Yun greeted as they shook hands.
Shen Tieshan laughed heartily, "Brother, this Flower Exhibition is quite impressive!"
"Not at all; it's all thanks to An Yiran. She is fully responsible for this Drunken Beauty Company. She's the Boss while I just play a supporting role," Xiao Yun said with a smile.
Xiao Yun was speaking the truth; he really hadn't done much.
"Is that true?" Shen Tieshan asked An Yiran with a smile.
An Yiran threw a questioning glance at Xiao Yun and said, "Do you really believe what he said?"
"Why wouldn't I believe it? President An, once you become a wealthy lady in the future, I won't be able to survive. I'm counting on you to support me!" Master Xiao said shamelessly.
An Yiran's face immediately turned red, and she dared not respond to him. However, Shen Tieshan and the others seemed to understand the underlying meaning and laughed meaningfully.
Shen Tieshan patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder and said with a hint of mischief, "Brother, Miss An Yiran is quite impressive; she's a remarkable woman. Oh, and that Qiu Yue is truly extraordinary as well. We've never seen flowers like these before. How did she cultivate them? I feel like both Qiu Yue and An Yiran are like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each showcasing their own beauty!"
"Haha, Brother Shen, are you implying that I should marry both of them?" Master Xiao deliberately glanced at An Yiran and laughed.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" An Yiran exclaimed, nearly losing her balance from embarrassment.
Shen Tieshan quickly added, "Miss An is right; we can't joke about this. Our marriage laws in China absolutely do not allow for polygamy!"
The group chatted and laughed as they wandered through the Flower Hall. Up ahead, Miss Yukiko was there with six women from the Island Nation, helping to introduce the flowers to the guests. Shen Tieshan spotted them and paused for a moment before pointing towards Miss Yukiko and asking, "Are those seven ladies also from Drunken Beauty Company?"
Xiao Yun nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, these seven women all came from Japan. The oldest among them is called Miss Yukiko. You must know her father; his name is Ding Shaodong!"
"Impressive, Brother Xiao! You've even brought overseas Chinese into your company!" Shen Tieshan exclaimed. "They're all stunning beauties! Let me ask you, is this a Flower Exhibition or a Beauty Exhibition?"
"Brother Shen, this company belongs to An Yiran. Whether it's a Flower Exhibition or a Beauty Exhibition, you should ask her!" Xiao Yun intentionally shifted the topic back to An Yiran.
Since Xiao Yun had the idea of starting this company, he never intended to take on any managerial role. He felt he lacked knowledge in business management, but more importantly, he wanted the women around him to have something meaningful to do.
Only in this way would they find life truly meaningful.
As long as they were happy, he would be happy too.
"Ha ha, no matter whose company you are, I sincerely hope it becomes a big success!" Shen Tieshan tightly grasped Xiao Yun's hand and said, "I have an important meeting to attend today, so I won't take up more of your time. I'll take my leave now!"
Xiao Yun understood that he was busy and immediately told An Yiran to see him and the other government officials out the door.
An Yiran had to attend to other guests and didn't stay by Xiao Yun's side any longer.
Just as Xiao Yun was preparing to head elsewhere, he suddenly heard a girl call out to him, "Xiao Yun Ge!"
Turning his head, Xiao Yun was surprised to find it was Xia Xiaoya.
Standing next to Xia Xiaoya was a middle-aged beautiful woman who looked just over forty, dressed fashionably with her hair elegantly styled up. Every gesture exuded the beauty of an intelligent woman.
"Xiao Ya, what brings you here?" Xiao Yun greeted with a smile.
However, Xia Xiaoya looked displeased and replied, "Xiao Yun, that's a rather low-level question. The Drunken Beauty Company is hosting a Flower Exhibition; of course you can come to visit, but I can't? Besides, I saw on the news last night that their Flower Exhibition is specifically for promoting their new women's Beauty Perfume. What are you doing here as a big man?"
Xiao Yun couldn't help but smile wryly; today's young girls certainly had sharp tongues.
"This company is run by a friend of mine. I'm here to help," Xiao Yun explained. He looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman and asked Xia Xiaoya, "Who is this?"
Xia Xiaoya immediately replied, "She's my mom!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled gently at Xiao Yun and said, "My surname is Mo; you can call me Aunt Mo!"
