Li Jianhong remembered this issue and asked with concern.
Qian Xiaobei and she both came from the northwest. They met on the train, and Qian Xiaobei was a very kind girl. Li Jianhong truly liked her.
She had also witnessed this timid young girl gradually grow up, becoming much more independent and confident.
However, her family's troublesome affairs always caused worry.
Fortunately, Qian Xiaobei already had a potential marriage partner, and perhaps she could escape her original family.
Yes, Qian Xiaobei had a boyfriend.
A while ago, Qian Xiaobei suddenly told them that she was dating Sun Xiaoyu.
This news was quite surprising.
But it also felt like there was nothing wrong with it.
Sun Xiaoyu was different from Qian Xiaobei; Sun Xiaoyu was someone who wouldn't be taken advantage of, which suited Qian Xiaobei.
With the Qian family, if Qian Xiaobei found a partner who wasn't assertive, she would be completely dominated.
But if it were someone as shrewd as Sun Xiaoyu, it was hard to say who would dominate whom.
"He said he wants to stay in Beijing in the future, either start his own business or work with Xiao Tian!" Qian Xiaobei said with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Su Xiaotian was the matchmaker for Qian Xiaobei and Sun Xiaoyu.
When the Su family returned home for the New Year, they asked Sun Xiaoyu and two other classmates to stay at the farm to keep her company.
In their close proximity, they somehow fell for each other.
However, neither of them broke the ice. Several months passed, and Sun Xiaoyu, worried that Qian Xiaobei would return to her hometown after graduation, finally expressed his feelings.
The other classmates in the dormitory thought this relationship was quite good.
They continued to date, their feelings growing stronger, and now they had agreed to get married after Sun Xiaoyu graduated.
But the biggest problem they faced now was that if they wanted to be together, the best option was to stay in Beijing.
Hearing Sun Xiaoyu's thoughts, the other classmates in the dormitory felt much more at ease.
The only concern now was whether the Qian family would force Qian Xiaobei to return to her hometown.
After all, the reason they sent Qian Xiaobei to school was so that she could earn more money after college.
In the eyes of the Qian family, Qian Xiaobei was responsible for earning money for her brothers, so how could they allow Qian Xiaobei to live her own life in Beijing?
Now that they heard Qian Xiaobei and Sun Xiaoyu had made a decision, the others in the dormitory were much more relieved.
Just as everyone was busy choosing internship units, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout Beijing.
Someone traded a small car for a Clivia.
Even these students, who were oblivious to the outside world, began to discuss it.
After all, in everyone's mind, a flower and a small car were not equal in value.
Of course, some people treated this as a joke.
But this Clivia craze swept across the country, and many regretted not buying a couple of Clivias earlier to make a profit!
A single flower could save them years of hard work!
Su Xiaotian also remembered at this time that she still had Clivias to sell.
She had been too busy recently and had forgotten such an important matter.
Su Xiaotian immediately set about dealing with it.
In fact, to maximize the profit from the Clivias, she even took an afternoon off.
Meanwhile, at the old Su family's house, Grandpa Su, Grandma Su, and others sat together with worried expressions.
If one didn't know, one would think the old Su family had encountered some unsolvable problem.
In reality, they were troubled by their flowers, which were said to be extremely valuable.
When Su Xiaotian bought the Clivias at a high price long ago, they just thought she was a little extravagant.
But since the child could earn money, the family didn't pay much attention to it.
In their spare time, the family would also proactively take care of these Clivias.
After nearly two years of meticulous care by the Su family, the flowers had grown exceptionally well and had even produced many seedlings.
When Grandma Su learned that the Clivias that were being talked about everywhere as being worth a small car were the flowers in their own home, she was so surprised that she almost cut her hand.
Unlike ordinary families who thought they were about to strike it rich, Grandma Su felt like she was holding a bomb.
Their dozens of Clivias, if all exchanged for small cars, would attract too much attention!
"Old man, what should we do? If others find out that we have so many Clivias..." Grandma Su was very worried.
"Let's wait for Xiaotian to come back before discussing this!" Grandpa Su finally decided, "Just pretend you don't know about these flowers at home!"
Although it was all money, Grandpa Su felt that if others found out, it would likely bring disaster.
This matter needed to be handled properly, and he believed that Xiaotian could resolve it perfectly.
On the weekend, Su Xiaotian returned, and the restless Grandma Su immediately and mysteriously pulled Su Xiaotian aside to ask questions.
"Are those flowers you grow the most in your backyard the Clivias that can be exchanged for small cars?"
Grandma Su got straight to the point and asked the question that was on her mind.
Su Xiaotian nodded, then shook her head.
"They are Clivias, but their value is certainly different. Not every Clivia is worth a small car."
Although Clivias had generally increased in price, it also depended on the variety. The flowers she grew were good, but they were still a little inferior to those worth a small car.
Grandma Su instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest, "That's good. I've been so anxious these past few days that I could barely sleep!"
Su Xiaotian found it amusing and said, "Grandma, although these can't be exchanged for small cars, on average, each flower should be worth forty thousand yuan."
As soon as Su Xiaotian finished speaking, she heard a thud as Grandma Su sank onto a nearby stool.
"Xiaotian, don't scare me!"
When she said this, Grandma Su's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of being overheard.
An average of forty thousand yuan per flower was much faster than her Yiming Pavilion earned.
The family now had sixty to seventy Clivias. At forty thousand yuan per pot, that was nearly three million yuan!
She couldn't imagine how much money that was!
Grandma Su originally felt that the Su family's life was already quite good.
But after a rough calculation, she suddenly felt that their old Su family was still poor.
"Grandma, let's not discuss this for now. I've already contacted someone, and the flowers will be transported out tonight!"
Su Xiaotian didn't plan to handle this herself but found a wholesaler for direct wholesale.
Naturally, Su Xiaosi's help was indispensable.
Su Xiaotian did not set the transaction location at her own home but at an empty factory building.
This was rented after Su Xiaotian and Su Xiaosi discussed it.
Making a fortune in silence was the most appropriate way to go about it. If people knew they had earned so much money, wouldn't that bring disaster?
