Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 385 - 385 374 Hua Exhibition

?Chapter 385: Chapter 374 Hua Exhibition Chapter 385: Chapter 374 Hua Exhibition Old Man Lan didn’t provide much explanation for the name of the flower, simply mentioning that its discovery was related to a cat, and when people asked for details, Old Man Lan clammed up and refused to say more.

Fortunately, everyone’s attention was now focused on the orchid, and though they found it odd to have the character “cat” in its name, they weren’t fixated on it; all they wanted was to take a longer look at the orchid.

Old Man Lan had been mentioned repeatedly lately because of this orchid, and the fact that Old Man Lan had cultivated an orchid worth over ten million had become a hot topic in the residential courtyards of two districts. Having been renowned for breeding rare and precious orchids, Old Man Lan’s fame was now even greater.

Wherever Old Man Lan went recently and met people he knew, they would ask him, “Mr. Lan, why don’t you let everyone see the Jade Cat? Don’t keep it hidden all the time!”

Unfortunately, after being named, Old Man Lan’s small flower bed was no longer open to the public, and not even his closest friends could expect a backdoor visit. Having arranged contacts, Old Man Lan was preparing to send the orchid to the botanical garden, and before doing so, he didn’t intend to let anyone see it. Only when some persistently nagging individuals annoyed Old Man Lan excessively would he allow them a quick peek. As for those less shameless, they were simply turned away. It goes to show that sometimes, one needs to be thick-skinned.

Zheng Tan also heard that two elderly men, failing to find Old Man Lan, and seeing that the fence around the small flower bed wasn’t too high, decided to climb over it with a ladder. Unfortunately, they weren’t as nimble or quick due to their age and nearly injured themselves, which gave Old Man Lan a good laugh when he found out.

No matter what, after three years of obscurity, Old Man Lan was finally gaining face.

This flower exhibition was a long event, starting two days before National Day and lasting until around the 20th. Since it was the 60th anniversary of the founding of the country, provincial and city leaders decided to organize a grand flower exhibition to celebrate.

The exhibition was divided into several smaller venues and one main venue, ensuring that residents from all districts could enjoy the exhibition at parks or plazas closest to them. However, Old Man Lan and some professionals kept their eyes on the main venue at the city botanical garden, where more renowned and precious flowers would be displayed.

Many flowers from both the main and smaller venues were sourced from the public, but the showstoppers were still provided by those within the orchid enthusiasts’ circle like Old Man Lan. They didn’t bring all of their renowned flowers to the botanical garden, keeping one or two pots at other smaller venues to showcase there as well, allowing the residents in those areas to view the prized plants. Naturally, there were also security personnel in charge of the smaller venues to prevent any damage.
