Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

The old man in the Tang suit slowly walked in front of us, and the crowd automatically made way for him. He looked at everything in front of him, with a gleam of light in his cloudy eyes.

"Good girl Mu, boy Bai, I knew you wouldn't let me down!" He laughed heartily and his voice was loud. I opened my eyes wide in surprise. Isn't this the retired gardening master? How did he appear here?

Before I could ask, he turned to look at the person from the Agriculture Bureau and said sternly, "You young people, don't just believe everything you hear! I have tasted the products of this base myself, and they are absolutely green and pollution-free!"

His words undoubtedly gave us a reassurance. The people from the Agricultural Bureau also knew this respected old man, and their attitude immediately softened. They said they would investigate as soon as possible and give us an explanation.

The crisis was resolved, and I felt relieved. Looking at the anxious employees in the base, I took a deep breath and said loudly, "Please rest assured, our base has never done anything illegal or disorderly. The truth will come out soon!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the crowd burst into warm applause and cheers. Yes, this base that we have worked so hard to build has been the result of everyone's hard work. How can it be destroyed so easily?

In the following days, the Agricultural Bureau conducted a comprehensive inspection of our base, and naturally found no problems. At the same time, our agricultural products also received greater attention because of this incident.

"Mr. Mu, you are amazing! Your story is simply an inspirational legend!" A young reporter shook my hand excitedly, her eyes shining with admiration.

"Mr. Bai, you and Mr. Mu have joined forces to create a miracle in the agricultural field. Do you have the secret of success?" Another reporter handed the microphone to Bai Hanchuan, eager to get an answer.

Facing the reporters' cameras, Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other. At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang. Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, I was moved...

"Hello, who is this?" I answered the phone and asked politely.

"Haha, girl Mu, you can't even recognize my voice?" A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone. It was the retired gardening master!

"Why did you think of calling me?" I asked with a smile, feeling a warm feeling in my heart. We have been in touch since he showed up to help us out last time. He is like a kind elder, often giving us guidance and encouragement.

"That's great. I have good news to tell you. I recommended you to participate in the National Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Competition, and you won the prize!" The old man's voice could hardly hide his excitement.

"Really? That's great!" I almost jumped up in surprise. This competition is of extremely high value in the industry. Winning the award means gaining recognition and honor from the industry.

"Not only that, I've also secured an opportunity for you to speak at the National Agricultural Science and Technology Summit. You must prepare well and bring honor to us!" the old man continued.

I took a deep breath and calmed down my excitement. "Thank you, I will definitely prepare well!"

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't wait to tell Bai Hanchuan the good news.

"That's great, Jinli, I knew you could do it!" Bai Hanchuan's eyes were full of joy and pride.

"By the way, what about the botanical expert? Did he win the award too?" I suddenly remembered the expert who had always been unknown but made great contributions to the base.

"Well, he also won the title of outstanding science and technology worker, and he deserves it." Bai Hanchuan nodded.

My heart is filled with gratitude and joy. These honors not only belong to Bai Hanchuan and me, but also to all those who have contributed to the planting base!

"We should celebrate!" I looked at Bai Hanchuan with a gleam in my eyes.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. How do you want to celebrate?" Bai Hanchuan looked at me lovingly.

"Let's hold a big celebration and invite all those who have supported and helped the planting base. I want to thank them in person!" I said excitedly.

Bai Hanchuan nodded in agreement, and we immediately began to prepare for this grand celebration.

A few days later, the square of the planting base was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. People from all walks of life gathered together to witness the glorious moment of the planting base.

I stood on the stage, looking at the familiar faces below, feeling a lot of emotions in my heart...

I took a deep breath, picked up the microphone, looked at the familiar faces in the audience, and felt a lot of emotions in my heart.

"Dear leaders, distinguished guests, and dear friends, hello everyone!" My voice echoed in the square.

“Today, we gather together to celebrate the brilliant achievements of the planting base! Looking back, we have experienced countless hardships and challenges, but we have always adhered to our original aspirations, united as one, and overcome difficulties one after another, which led to today’s glory!”

I swept my eyes across the audience and saw that those initial questioning and mocking looks had now turned into praise and admiration.

"Here, I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to the planting base! Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your selfless dedication, thank you for your trust and support!"

My voice was a little choked, and there was thunderous applause from the audience that lasted for a long time.

Bai Hanchuan took the microphone with a confident smile on his handsome face.

"Jinli's success is inseparable from her own efforts and dedication, and even more so from everyone's support and help. In the future, we will continue to work hard to further expand the scale of planting, develop new products, promote agricultural technological innovation, and create greater value for society!"

Bai Hanchuan's words were sonorous and powerful, winning applause from the audience.

After the celebration, Bai Hanchuan and I stood hand in hand in the center of the stage, looking at the crowd gradually dispersing below the stage, our hearts filled with happiness and satisfaction. We knew that our dream had finally come true, and there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for us in the future.

"Jinli..." Bai Hanchuan suddenly turned his head, his deep eyes gleaming with light, "I have something else to tell you..."

"Huh?" I turned to look at him and blinked in confusion. "What's going on? Why are you being so secretive?"

Bai Hanchuan smiled mysteriously, took out an exquisite little box from his pocket, and when he opened it, he found a sparkling diamond ring inside.

"Jinli," Bai Hanchuan knelt on one knee and looked at me affectionately, "Marry me! I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, face future challenges together, and share the joy of success together!"

The sudden proposal caught me off guard. Happiness came so suddenly that my heart was pounding. The crowd in the audience also noticed this scene, and they stopped to watch and burst into warm applause and cheers.

Lin Xiao covered her mouth excitedly, tears glistening in her eyes. She nodded at me desperately, indicating that I should agree quickly.

I looked at the man in front of me who loved me deeply. His determined eyes were full of love. I could no longer suppress my inner excitement and tears welled up in my eyes.

"I do!" I said in a trembling voice, and stretched out my left hand, letting him put the diamond ring that symbolized love on my finger.

Bai Hanchuan put the diamond ring on my ring finger with great joy, then stood up and hugged me tightly. At this moment, I felt like the happiest woman in the world.

The applause and cheers from the audience became even more enthusiastic and lasted for a long time. The media reporters pressed their shutters one after another to record this touching scene.

"Jinli, congratulations!" A government official walked up to the stage and shook my hand enthusiastically. "Your planting base has set an example for us and made a huge contribution to agricultural development! We will definitely strongly support your work and hope that you will continue to work hard and achieve greater success!"

Afterwards, several experts and scholars came to the stage to express their congratulations and expectations to us. They said that our successful experience has important reference significance for promoting agricultural science and technology innovation, and they hope that we can continue to work hard and make greater contributions to society.

I looked at the enthusiastic faces in the audience, and my heart was filled with gratitude and responsibility. I know that our success is inseparable from everyone's support and help. In the future, we will continue to work hard, live up to everyone's expectations, and contribute our own strength to the realization of agricultural modernization!
