When Mr. Kong entered, both Mrs. Clegg and Mr. Clegg were deeply suspicious.
Although this old man looked clean in both his hair and clothes, his trembling walk screamed of a beggar.
But when Mr. Kong started talking, he astonished the elder Cleggs.
"This is the Arctic Rhododendron. At first glance, its structure is similar to that of a common Rhododendron. But since it's a polar plant, if it's treated like a common one, it can't survive," Mr. Kong explained.
"The Arctic?"
Has Hank Clegg gone to the Arctic?
Due to professional secrecy, Hank Clegg usually didn't explain the origin of the materials he brought back.
The old couple had gotten used to not asking questions either.
They never thought that this little plant was brought back from the Arctic.
Mr. Kong shook his head, correcting them, "No, no. Polar vegetation doesn't necessarily grow in the North or South Pole, but in the polar circle. Like in Norway and Greenland Island, there's quite a lot of Arctic Rhododendron."
