Chapter 349: Planting flowers with care but they don't bloom; Planting willows with care but th

Wu Qing would stop from time to time to instruct the people around her, asking them to follow the embroidery pattern. When embroidering the petals of the chrysanthemum, Wu Qing used the flat needle embroidery method, which requires the stitches to be extremely fine and flat. Her hands were very steady, and the position and length of each stitch were accurate. The direction of each line was just right, perfectly fitting the outline of the petals and presenting the texture of the petals in detail.

People around you certainly can't learn this exquisite skill overnight, but if they learn flat stitch embroidery, they can embroider a rough shape by following the sample.

On that day, many stalls were occupied, with ceramic tile ridges, ink paintings, calligraphy, flower arrangements, and chrysanthemums…

Li Shuirong was busy taking photos for everyone everywhere. These precious photos will be used to introduce this event in the future and will be posted on the event website in the form of pictures and texts.

The event is called a market because there is a link at the end, that is, barter. Everyone can exchange their works of the day with others, or give them as gifts to friends.

Lin Pin'er received several handkerchiefs embroidered with chrysanthemums that day, and the hairpin she made was exchanged by Wu Qing. Jia Tanchun exchanged for a friend's calligraphy work, and Jia Yingchun gave the not-so-delicate pottery sculpture to Jia Mu. Jia Mu's flower arrangement work was given to Jia Xichun, and Jia Xichun's ink painting was framed and hung in Jia Mu's flower hall the next day. Madam Li's chrysanthemum branch was given to Jia Yuanchun, and Jia Yuanchun also gave her own miniature painting to Madam Li.

After receiving the painting, Madam Li quietly told Jia Yuanchun a secret: "I knew before that Li Hanlan had a sweetheart, and he has always protected that person very well. The main reason is that he is a cautious person, always afraid that others will know his preferences and approach him with a purpose, and another reason is to protect that girl. Today I know who she is, but I will keep you in suspense for now. When you go back and see his desk, there is a brocade box with a paper handkerchief with a cat painted on it. You will understand his feelings after you see it."

Jia Yuanchun was a smart person. She immediately remembered the kitten she had drawn on a tissue when she first met Li Hanlan, and her face immediately blushed.

Since the chrysanthemum banquet, Old Lady Li has become much closer to Jia Yuanchun, which is something Grandmother Jia had not expected. She just wanted to entertain her in-laws and co-organized this event with Lin Pin'er. Unexpectedly, she gave her granddaughter Jia Yuanchun an ice-breaking action. As the saying goes: When you try to plant flowers, they don't bloom, but when you plant willows by accident, they grow into shade.

Lin Pin'er's renovation of the main building of Guanyuan is still in progress. The cooperation plan between her and Su Miaoyu has begun to be implemented. All the original venues that could be used for dining and banquets will be completely renovated. The studio, lounge, makeup room, etc. in the TV station where the program was previously participated in will be restored and expanded. The main building will soon be transformed into a larger venue for recording programs. Of course, the garden will also be reasonably utilized, and the outdoor stage can be started when the weather is suitable.

In a blink of an eye, Xue Baochai has been in Jingu for a week. She is preparing for her inauguration activities. Not only has she invited reporters, but she is also preparing for a live broadcast on the same day. All media-related matters are handed over to An Sulai, and Hua Xiren naturally becomes her assistant secretary. Ye Shuyan will work with her in the aircraft manufacturing base as a specially hired translation expert. During her stay in Jingu, she met Ye Shuyan through Ye Shuyan. Through Ye Shuo, she also got to know some officials in Jingu. She is very confident about her inauguration tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Xue Baochai changed into a proper professional attire and took Mrs. Xue out with her. She had to show off her appearance. After arriving in Tianjin, she used the Xue family's few remaining assets to buy a small garden villa and a luxury car to pick her up and drop her off at get off work.

Although Xue Baochai was nominally Li Haoze's wife, she had a falling out with Li Haoze over the issue of shares as soon as she returned to China. Therefore, Li Haoze would not give her real estate and vehicles. She didn't know that if she didn't do it, she could also get a valuable divorce property. This is a later story.

The Xue family's original business car was barely usable, but because they had invited friends from the media to report today, they estimated that they would be waiting at the door, so they gritted their teeth and bought a luxury car. This made Mrs. Xue feel painful.

Sure enough, as soon as the car drove to the gate of the aircraft manufacturing base, there were already some reporters waiting there. Before the mother and daughter got out of the car, the reporters began to take pictures impatiently. The photos they took were instantly posted online, all in an effort to be the first to report it.

Xue Baochai's inauguration ceremony was a bit like a press conference, but it also seemed like her personal show. She invited several leaders, and it seemed like they were here to inspect the work.

The reporters over there have already started to discuss quietly: "What kind of event is this? It's so weird, it doesn't look like a press conference, nor does it look like a leadership inspection, but more like a ribbon-cutting ceremony for an opening?"

"Alas, I don't want to come at all. If someone hadn't said there might be a big news today, I wouldn't have come. I might as well rush to Beijing. I heard today that Moly's new album was released. There are also some leaks there, and there are also souvenirs. Just now, my colleague said in the group that he received Moly's autograph."

Xue Baochai overheard vaguely and only heard Moly's new album, so she quickly called An Su over and said, "Help me check what activities Lin Pin'er is doing today, and ask why Madam Li hasn't arrived yet."

Xue Baochai had invited Madam Li to the scene in advance, but now seeing that the reporters were getting impatient, she had no choice but to urge them.

Xue Baochai had to deal with the local leaders she had just met, so she had to assign this matter to An Su.

Hua Xiren helped entertain guests for a while, then came to urge Xue Baochai: "Boss Xue, the leaders have to rush back to the city later. They all said they have other work arrangements, and they urged us to start quickly."

An Su came over and whispered in Xue Baochai's ear, "Mr. Xue, Madam Li won't answer the phone."

Xue Baochai looked at the time again and had to bite the bullet and invite the leaders to take their seats. The activity used a long table placed on the stage, facing the reporters. After the leaders took their seats, Xue Baochai sat in the middle, a red spot in the green. She originally reserved a seat next to herself for the old lady, but in the end she had to temporarily remove a seat. But at this moment, it seemed as if the leaders were just green leaves to set off her, which made the two leaders next to her look unhappy.

Unexpectedly, after the event started, various problems arose one after another. Originally, Madam Li was required to introduce Xue Baochai to take over the management of the aircraft manufacturing base, but now it seemed that she had to report on her own work. Because of her young age, she seemed unconvincing. The shortened process made the whole event seem weak and thin.

"Excuse me, you said that it was Madam Li who appointed you personally, so why didn't she come?"
