Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

A fresh fragrance penetrated my nose, and I looked up suddenly. Among a pile of dead branches and leaves, several plants with lavender flowers were swaying in the wind. Their petals showed a translucent texture, and they sparkled with stars in the sun, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"What is this?" I exclaimed, quickly pushing aside the surrounding weeds and carefully digging out these strange plants.

"What's wrong?" Bai Hanchuan heard my voice and walked over quickly.

I held these plants in my hands and said excitedly, "Look, what is this?"

Bai Hanchuan took the flower and examined it carefully, frowning slightly: "It seems to be an orchid, but the shape and color of the flower are very special, I have never seen it before."

"Could it be a new variety?" A glimmer of hope ignited in my heart.

"It's possible." Bai Hanchuan nodded. "I remember that the base introduced a batch of orchid varieties from other places before. They were said to be new varieties, but later due to poor management, most of them died. These few plants may have been missed at that time."

"Then let's go find Expert Liu to take a look!" I couldn't wait to pull Bai Hanchuan out.

Expert Liu is an authority in botany and has been helping us research and solve the problem of crop wilting at the base.

When expert Liu saw these orchids, he couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression: "This is... this is..."

He was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket with trembling hands and carefully observed every detail of the orchid.

"What's wrong, Expert Liu, is there something wrong with this flower?" I asked anxiously.

Expert Liu raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "This is not an ordinary flower, it is an extremely rare variant with extremely high medicinal value!"

My heart skipped a beat, as if something exploded in my chest...

"Medicinal value?" Bai Hanchuan and I asked in unison, our tone full of surprise and confusion.

Expert Liu excitedly explained: "The rhizome of this orchid contains a special substance that can effectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It is one of the best drugs for treating cancer at present!"

My head buzzed, as if a bolt of lightning had struck me. Cancer, a disease that people fear in any era, was actually conquered by an inconspicuous orchid in our base?

I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, and there was also a gleam of disbelief in his eyes. We all know what this means, it means that our planting base can not only be revived, but also become the leading medicinal plant base in China!

"Expert Liu, are you sure? This... this is unbelievable!" I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

"I guarantee with my decades of professional knowledge that I am absolutely correct!" Expert Liu said firmly, "The discovery of this orchid will be a major breakthrough in the medical field and may even change the world!"

I held Bai Hanchuan's hand tightly, and an unprecedented excitement surged in my heart. We seemed to be standing at a crossroads of fate, and this magical orchid was the beacon that guided us to success!

"We must act immediately!" Bai Hanchuan said decisively, "Put all our resources into the research and development and promotion of this orchid. We must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

I nodded vigorously and immediately called a meeting of all the staff at the base to tell everyone the news. As expected, everyone was excited, and the haze that had originally shrouded the base was swept away, replaced by infinite hope and enthusiasm.

"Jinli, I have contacted a large pharmaceutical company. They are very interested in this orchid and want to cooperate with us." Lin Xiaoxing ran over and handed the phone to me.

I took the phone and the person on the other end was a man with a deep voice. He claimed to be the head of this pharmaceutical company and hoped to have a face-to-face meeting with us to discuss cooperation.

I hung up the phone and looked at Lin Xiao, my eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Lin Xiao, you are really my lucky star!"

Lin Xiao smiled and waved her hands: "We are good sisters, there is no need to say thank you or not. I believe that we can succeed!"

It was late at night, and I stood by the window, looking at the twinkling lights in the base in the distance, my heart full of hope and expectation. At this moment, the door rang softly, and an old but energetic figure walked in...

"Mr. Liu, why are you here so late?" I hurriedly went up to him and invited the retired gardening master to sit on the sofa.

Mr. Liu looked at me with a smile, his eyes full of admiration: "Jinli, I heard that your base discovered a magical orchid, so I came here specially to take a look."

My heart was warmed. Mr. Liu has always been a strong supporter of our planting base and always lends a helping hand when we need it most. I took Mr. Liu to the greenhouse and introduced the growth habits and medicinal value of this orchid to him in detail.

"Not bad, not bad." Mr. Liu observed the orchid carefully and nodded frequently. "This kind of orchid likes a cool and humid environment, and has high requirements for soil and water. You should pay attention to it during the planting process..."

Mr. Liu is indeed an experienced gardening master. He made many valuable suggestions based on the growth characteristics of orchids, from soil improvement, water control to pest and disease control, explaining everything to us one by one. I listened carefully and took notes, fearing that I would miss any details.

Under the guidance of Mr. Liu, we have improved and optimized the orchid planting technology, and the yield and quality of flowers have been significantly improved. Looking at the orchids growing vigorously, my heart is full of hope and gratitude.

At the same time, Bai Hanchuan was also actively contacting the outside world. He contacted professional botanical experts to conduct more in-depth research on orchids, and negotiated with several pharmaceutical companies for cooperation opportunities.

After a period of hard work, our efforts finally paid off. A strong pharmaceutical company decided to cooperate with us to jointly develop this new anti-cancer drug.

On the day of signing the cooperation agreement, Bai Hanchuan and I were very excited. Looking at the agreement in my hand, I seemed to see the infinite bright future of the planting base.

"Jinli," Bai Hanchuan held my hand, his eyes gleaming with determination, "We succeeded."

I smiled and nodded, my heart filled with happiness and joy. However, at this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang, and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen...
