Chapter 6 The Flower Left Behind
Holding two purple chrysanthemums back at the villa, the system popped up again on its own.

Song Youan exchanged the silver notes for Chinese currency and was about to go downstairs when the system popped up another message: [The system has detected that the host possesses two purple chrysanthemums. Would you like to estimate their value and convert them into cash?]

The green forecast and the red rejection button floated in front of her, and Song Youan was stunned.

They can even estimate the value of the purple chrysanthemum? Does that mean everything she brought back from Da Zhao can be valued?
Holding a purple chrysanthemum in one hand, Song Youan stretched out her chin and lightly touched the estimate on the virtual screen. The screen immediately displayed the words "Estimation in progress, please wait."

A moment later, a small window popped up: "Sorry, valuation failed!"

Song Youan: ?

There are things you can't do!

She chuckled at the system in her heart, but Song You'an didn't dwell on it too much. She didn't know how much the purple chrysanthemum was worth in modern times, so she never intended to sell it. Instead, she genuinely felt that the flower was so beautiful that she wanted to grow one.

Although it cost 100,000 yuan to acquire, Song Youan felt it was worth it because this purple chrysanthemum was dug up from the garden of the Marquis of Fuyang Mansion in Dazhao!
After finding two nice flowerpots in the villa, Song Youan transplanted the purple chrysanthemums into them and then placed them in a prominent position in the living room.

Upon closer inspection, Song Youan discovered that the yellow of this purple chrysanthemum was a bright, golden yellow, and the purple was also very deep. The combination of the two colors created an instant visual impact.

"So beautiful!"

Song Youan sighed sincerely and couldn't help but take out her phone to shoot a 20-second short video and post it to her Douyin account.

Then she removed her makeup and hair, changed into some loungewear, and continued cleaning.

This villa was secretly written into my aunt's will before she passed away. Because my mother left early, my aunt doted on me from a young age, and leaving this suburban villa to me was to give me a home of my own.

Furthermore, her aunt left her two million yuan in the will, which was to be transferred to her bank card automatically on the first of each month for a total of two hundred months through a trust installment plan.

She only learned all of this from her lawyer after her aunt's funeral arrangements were properly completed.

The villa had been vacant for a long time, and my aunt hadn't lived there much when she was alive because it was quite far from the city center and not very convenient.

Song Youan swept, mopped, and wiped for almost two hours before she could barely clean the first floor. Just as she was about to have a drink of water and rest for a while, her phone suddenly rang.

It's an unknown number.

There were just too many telemarketing calls, so Song You'an hung up without thinking. But the other party kept calling back, and the ringtone sounded urgent.

"Hey?"

"Hello, are you Miss Song?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was very soft and polite.

It sounds just like... customer service.

"No loans, no credit cards, I've bought insurance, and I have no plans to buy a house anytime soon. Goodbye!"

Before Song Youan could hang up, the other party quickly introduced himself: "Ms. Song, you've misunderstood. I'm not a telemarketer. I'm the chairman's secretary at Longteng Real Estate Company. My surname is Sun. Ms. Song, is the purple chrysanthemum in your latest video on your Douyin account all-natural?"

Shaking? Purple Chrysanthemum?

Song Youan realized that she had indeed filmed a short video of purple chrysanthemums and uploaded it to her Douyin account two hours earlier.

"What do you mean?" Song You'an didn't understand the other party's purpose. Secretary Sun patiently explained, "I just wanted to ask you whether the purple chrysanthemum in the video is all-natural, or just ordinary chrysanthemums that have been artificially dyed in post-production?"

“Of course it’s all-natural!” Song Youan blurted out.

Dyeing flowers is something only florists do, right? She's not selling flowers.

"Please wait."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Just as Song Youan was wondering what was going on, a deep male voice came through the receiver: "Hello, Ms. Song, I am Chen Fei, the chairman of Longteng Real Estate Company."

The sudden gender switch startled Song Youan. She paused for a moment before asking, "Did you need something from me?"

Chen Fei went straight to the point: "I want to buy the purple chrysanthemum in Miss Song's video. Miss Song can name any conditions you like, and I will not haggle within reasonable limits."

what?
Song Youan was shocked. She had only posted a short video of purple chrysanthemums, and someone had actually found her phone number through the internet to buy her flowers, with conditions that were open to all.

Are these purple chrysanthemums really that valuable?

Forgive her for not knowing much about these flowers and plants. When she obtained the purple chrysanthemum today, she simply thought it was too beautiful and never thought of using it to make money.

"I'll think about it for ten minutes." Coming back to her senses, Song Youan calmed herself down and replied in a composed tone.

Chen Fei: "Of course, I'll call Miss Song back in ten minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Song Youan quickly opened Baidu and searched for "purple chrysanthemum".

Related terms popped up instantly, and Song Youan quickly browsed them. The more she read, the wider her eyes widened, and she understood why someone had come to her to buy them.

Because the purple chrysanthemum became extinct in the Southern Shang Dynasty four hundred years ago, and in the long history, the purple chrysanthemum was the national flower of the Yun Kingdom, Qibei Kingdom and Nuolan Kingdom. It symbolizes prosperity, strength and endless life, and was deeply loved by the royal family in ancient times.

I never imagined that on a whim, I would bring two rare and precious flowers back to 2024!
I quickly searched for Longteng Real Estate Company and found that it was one of the top ten real estate companies in China, and the current chairman, Chen Fei, was only 27 years old!
The phone rang again, and Song Youan looked down to see it was her father.

"Daughter, Dad received a package, it's a new phone, did you buy it?" Song Qi raised her voice on the other end of the phone, because the background noise was very loud, it was the sound from the auto repair shop where Song Qi worked.

“I bought it for you. Your old SIM card is terrible. It's so choppy when you type a message. You have to charge it two or three times a day. You should have replaced it a long time ago.”

This was her first time using the system to exchange currency yesterday; she wanted to see if the money in her card could be used for the order she placed.

“It’s not broken, it’ll do. Besides, the one you bought is too expensive. Xiao Liu from the workshop said it’s the latest model, it costs nearly 20,000 yuan. Dad doesn’t need something this good. If you’re going to replace it, just get one that costs 1,000 yuan.”

"Dad, don't worry about the money. The copyright of the design I did for graduation was bought by a big company, and they made a lot of money in royalties. Isn't it only right to buy you a gift?"

"Keep the money you earn for yourself, it's too expensive."

"Of course I'll spend the money I earn on you. If you don't spend it, I won't have the motivation to earn any more. Okay, Dad, just use it without worry. I'm waiting for an important phone call, so I'll hang up now!"

Before her father could say anything more, Song You'an hung up the phone. When she checked the time, more than ten minutes had passed.

The next second, the other party's call came in seamlessly, the ringing becoming increasingly urgent.
