Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

"Jinli, we have to cheer up and not be defeated by this accident." Bai Hanchuan's voice brought me back to reality from my thoughts.

"Yeah!" I nodded heavily. The confusion in my eyes had faded away, replaced by firmness and determination.

We immediately called together all the staff at the base and held an emergency meeting. The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn, and everyone's face was filled with worry and anxiety.

"Although this rainstorm has caused some damage to the base, we cannot be discouraged." Bai Hanchuan looked around and said in a deep voice, "I have contacted the bank, and they are willing to provide us with a new loan to purchase equipment and raw materials and resume production."

After hearing this news, everyone's gloomy eyes were rekindled with hope. I then added: "I have contacted the salesmen we worked with before, and they also expressed their willingness to continue to support us."

"Great!" Lin Xiao stood up excitedly, "We will definitely overcome the difficulties and stand up again!"

In the following days, we worked non-stop on post-disaster reconstruction. Bai Hanchuan rushed between banks and various departments to secure valuable financial support for the base, while I led the staff to clean up the silt, repair the greenhouse, and rush to replant the damaged crops.

"Jinli, come over and take a look!" That day, I was instructing workers in the fields to replant vegetables when Lin Xiao suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" I asked confusedly.

"The large supermarket we contacted before..." Lin Xiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "They agreed to cooperate with us!"

"Really?!" I grabbed Lin Xiao's hand in surprise, "Do they really agree to cooperate with us?"

"It's absolutely true!" Lin Xiao nodded excitedly, "I have signed a contract with their purchasing manager. They will purchase a large number of fresh vegetables and fruits from us every month."

I hugged Lin Xiao excitedly. This order means a lot to us. It not only helps us quickly open up the market, but more importantly, it represents the market's recognition of our products and brands.

"Jinli, you are so amazing!" Lin Xiao praised sincerely, "You always bring us surprises."

I smiled and shook my head. This was not just my own achievement. During this period, Lin Xiao led the sales team to travel all over the city, promoting our products in supermarkets and farmers' markets. I saw all their efforts.

In addition to market expansion, the base has also made significant progress in production and management. The mysterious ally, a retired gardening master, shared his many years of planting experience with us, helping us improve some traditional planting techniques and increase crop yields and quality. The botanical expert introduced some advanced planting concepts and management methods, helping us establish a more scientific and efficient production system.

Seeing the base getting better day by day, my heart is filled with gratitude and relief. I know that all this is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone, and even more inseparable from those who have been supporting and helping us.

"Jinli, look!" That day, Bai Hanchuan ran up to me excitedly with a document in his hand. "The products of our base have been rated as 'provincial high-quality agricultural products'!"

I took the document, looked through it carefully, and a gratified smile appeared on my face. This honor is the best reward for all our efforts.

"We succeeded!" I looked at Bai Hanchuan and said excitedly.

"No, this is just the beginning." Bai Hanchuan held my hand with a firm look in his eyes, "We want to make our base the best planting base in the country!"

I nodded heavily, my heart filled with hope and longing. In order to achieve this goal, Bai Hanchuan and I decided...

"We succeeded!" I looked at Bai Hanchuan and said excitedly. Holding the certificate of "Provincial High-quality Agricultural Products", I felt as if I was holding a heavy burden, but my heart felt more at ease than ever before.

I nodded heavily, my heart full of hope and longing. In order to achieve this goal, Bai Hanchuan and I decided to take action ourselves, starting from the grassroots level, and learn planting and processing techniques with the employees.

Every morning, Bai Hanchuan and I would change into work clothes, put on straw hats, and go to work in the fields with the workers. We did every step ourselves, from turning the soil, sowing, watering to fertilizing and weeding. Under the scorching sun, our clothes were soaked with sweat, but we had no complaints because we always had hope in our hearts.

"Brother Bai, you wield the hoe quite well!" Lin Xiao smiled as he skillfully planted the seedlings one by one into the ridges of the field.

"Of course, I was an expert at growing vegetables when I was in the army!" Bai Hanchuan responded with a smile, his dark face full of pride.

Watching Bai Hanchuan getting along well with the employees, I was also infected by their enthusiasm. I began to learn to identify the growth habits of various vegetables and how to manage the fields scientifically. I also worked with the workers to study new processing methods, striving to maximize the nutrition and flavor of agricultural products.

After several months of hard work, the planting base has gradually regained its vitality. Rows of vegetables are neatly arranged, with green leaves glittering in the sun; and each fruit is plump and round, exuding an enticing aroma.

"Jinli, look, our tomatoes are growing so well!" Lin Xiao excitedly picked a bright red tomato and handed it to me.

I took the tomato and took a bite. The sweet and sour juice instantly filled my mouth. "It's delicious! We grew it ourselves!" I was filled with emotion, and my heart was filled with joy and pride.

That evening, Bai Hanchuan and I stood on the ridge of the planting base, looking at the vibrant scene, and our hearts were filled with satisfaction and pride. We knew that as long as we persisted, we would be able to realize our dream.

"Ding-ling-ling..." A quick phone call broke the tranquility of the field. My heart tightened and a bad premonition came to my mind...

Lin Xiao's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sister Jinli, it's bad! Something happened!" My heart tightened, and I asked, "What happened? Tell me slowly." Lin Xiao's voice was a little tearful: "Our base... our base has been reported! It was said that we used banned pesticides, and now many reporters have come..."

I suddenly felt dizzy and my phone almost fell. Bai Hanchuan quickly caught me and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" I took a deep breath, tried to steady my voice, and repeated Lin Xiao's words. Bai Hanchuan's face also became solemn, and he said decisively, "Don't panic, we will go back now."

When we got back to the base, we were all stunned by the scene in front of us. The entrance of the base was surrounded by a group of reporters, flash cameras were flashing non-stop, and many villagers were watching and talking. I saw Lin Xiao standing in the middle of the crowd. She was anxiously arguing with a man in a suit.

"What's going on?" Bai Hanchuan pushed through the crowd and asked in a deep voice. When Lin Xiao saw us coming back, he seemed to have found his backbone, and hurried over and said, "Brother Bai, Sister Jinli, they...they said we used banned pesticides and they want to block the base for investigation!"

The man in a suit stepped forward and showed his ID: "I'm from the Agricultural Bureau. I've received a report that your base is suspected of using banned pesticides. We need to test your agricultural products. Please cooperate."

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I knew someone was deliberately behind this! "Our base has never used banned pesticides. You are welcome to investigate, but please don't believe in rumors or slander us at will!"

My words were powerful, and the surrounding villagers began to talk about it, and many people said they believed us. Looking at everything in front of me, my heart was burning with anger. Who is it? Who wants to kill us? I want to see who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes!

I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, and saw that he had a stern expression, and his deep eyes flashed with coldness. He held my hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will find out everything." These few words gave me infinite strength. I knew that no matter what difficulties we encountered, we would face them together.

At this time, a black car slowly drove up and stopped at the gate of the base. The door opened, and an old man in a Tang suit, who looked energetic, walked down with the help of his assistant. He looked around, his eyes fell on me and Bai Hanchuan, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. I was moved, could it be...
