Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

Bai Hanchuan hesitated to speak, but I felt more and more uneasy. "We what?" I asked, with a barely perceptible tremor in my tone.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death," he said with a gleam in his deep eyes, "We have to take the initiative."

Take the initiative? I understand what he means. We can no longer passively wait for things to develop and let the mastermind manipulate them.

"You mean we should go directly to confront Mr. Wang?" I asked tentatively.

"No, now is not the time," Bai Hanchuan shook his head, "We don't have solid evidence to prove that he did it. Any rash action will only alert the enemy."

"Then what should we do?" I was a little anxious, but I didn't know what to do.

Bai Hanchuan pondered for a moment and said calmly: "First, we must stabilize the morale of the troops and not let the workers and partners in the base panic because of this matter."

I nodded in agreement. "Secondly, we need to find evidence that Mr. Wang is framing us."

"Yes," Bai Hanchuan confirmed my idea, "At the same time, we must also prepare for the worst. If Boss Wang really wants to kill us all, we must also have countermeasures."

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I knew that every step I took was crucial and if I was not careful, I would lose everything.

The next morning, Bai Hanchuan and I went our separate ways. He contacted the top executives of several large pharmaceutical companies in the city, explained the situation of the planting base to them, and promised to deliver the products of the cooperative project on time.

I stayed in the base and worked with Lin Xiao to appease the workers and stabilize their hearts. At the same time, we also began to investigate Mr. Wang, hoping to find evidence that he had framed us.

Lin Xiao is indeed my best friend, and she is very efficient. In just a few days, she collected some negative news about Mr. Wang, such as that he had maliciously suppressed his peers in order to seize market share, and was even suspected of tax evasion.

Although this information cannot directly prove that Mr. Wang is the originator of the anonymous letter, it can at least prove that he is not as upright as he seems. This also made Bai Hanchuan and I more determined to find out the truth.

In order to cope with the current difficulties, we decided to adjust our business strategy. On the one hand, we strengthened product quality control and brand promotion, and on the other hand, we launched a series of preferential activities to attract more customers.

Just when we were in a state of panic, an unexpected person came to the planting base...

He was thin, wearing a washed-out Zhongshan suit, and his unsteady steps could not hide the wisdom in his eyes. Lin Xiao was the first to approach him and asked politely, "Hello, old man, who are you looking for?"

The old man smiled and said in a friendly tone: "My last name is Zhao, and I'm a retired gardener. I heard that there were some difficulties here, so I came here to see if I can help."

I was stunned. A retired gardener? Could it be... Before I could say anything, Bai Hanchuan walked up to me quickly, his eyes full of surprise: "Are you Mr. Zhao Qiming?"

Mr. Zhao smiled and nodded. Bai Hanchuan shook his hand excitedly: "I've heard a lot about you! You are a leading figure in the field of botany. I didn't expect you to come to us!"

Only then did I realize that Mr. Zhao was no ordinary person. He had been a professor at a top agricultural university in the country. He had bred many excellent plant varieties and enjoyed a very high reputation in the industry.

Mr. Zhao waved his hand and said modestly: "I am just an old man who can't sit still. Seeing that you young people are so motivated, I want to do my part."

Under the guidance of Mr. Zhao, we conducted comprehensive testing and analysis of the soil, water quality, light and other aspects of the planting base, and adjusted the planting process and product formula according to the growth habits of different plants.

What was even more surprising was that Mr. Zhao also brought with him a young botanist who was his student and had extensive experience in plant pest control. With his help, we successfully solved the pest problem that had plagued us for a long time, and the quality and yield of our products were significantly improved.

Just as we were rejoicing over the rebirth of the planting base, there was a knock on the office door. A strange man with a haggard and guilty look walked in. He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Mu, Mr. Bai, I'm sorry for you..."

I recognized him. He was the owner of a small medicinal material supplier that our company had previously cooperated with. Before I could ask him, he took a deep breath and continued, "The anonymous letter... was written by me."

I was stunned for a moment. Bai Hanchuan stood up suddenly and stared at him fiercely...

I took a deep breath, suppressed my anger, and motioned for him to sit down and explain. He clenched his hands tightly, and his tone was full of regret: "I was blinded by the interests. Seeing that your planting base was developing so well, I was jealous, so..."

He explained what happened. It turned out that his company was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management. At this time, a mysterious person found him, gave him a sum of money, and asked him to write an anonymous letter to frame us, in order to damage the reputation of our company and seize the market. He was blinded by the money and agreed without thinking too much.

"I regret it very much now. I am sorry for your trust." He said, his eyes red. "I have returned all the money I received and reported the mysterious man to the relevant departments. I know that this cannot make up for the mistakes I made, but I hope..."

"Get up, it has already happened, the important thing is to learn from it." Bai Hanchuan interrupted him, his tone calm but with unquestionable strength, "I hope you can be down-to-earth in the future and don't do things that go against your conscience again."

I felt mixed emotions after seeing off the supplier boss. Although he made the wrong choice, he was able to stand up and admit his mistake and actively make amends, which can be regarded as a kind of redemption.

After this incident, I realized more deeply that the business world is like a battlefield, full of intrigues and deceptions. We must not only strive to improve product quality and service, but also remain vigilant and guard against various risks.

With the help of Mr. Zhao and his students, we have comprehensively upgraded the planting base, introduced more advanced planting technology and equipment, and strengthened the monitoring of product quality. At the same time, we have also increased our marketing efforts and actively participated in various trade fairs to let more people know about our products.

After a series of efforts, the market share of the planting base has gradually recovered, and the cooperation projects with pharmaceutical companies have also been smoothly promoted. Watching batches of high-quality medicinal materials and flower products shipped from the base to all parts of the country, I feel full of a sense of accomplishment.

"We succeeded!" Standing on the observation deck of the planting base, looking at the sunset in the distance, I couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Hanchuan gently hugged my shoulders, his eyes full of tenderness: "Yes, we have been through so many storms together, and finally ushered in the rainbow."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on us, making our figures look particularly slender. I took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, and my heart was filled with hope.

"Next, we..." Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by the ringing of Bai Hanchuan's cell phone. He answered the phone and his face gradually became solemn...
