Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

Three days later, the sun was shining and the sky was blue, as if foreshadowing a bright future for our planting base. The park gate was crowded with people, colorful flags were flying, gongs and drums were beating, and it was a lively scene. Celebrities from all walks of life came to congratulate, and media reporters also recorded this event with their cameras and guns, conveying the grand occasion of the opening ceremony to thousands of households.

I stood on the rostrum, looking at the sea of ​​flowers in front of me, feeling a lot of emotion in my heart. For this day, we have paid so much effort and sweat, experienced so many difficulties and setbacks, but in the end, we succeeded!

Bai Hanchuan stood beside me. He looked particularly handsome and tall in a neat Zhongshan suit. He held my hand, his palm warm and strong, silently conveying his support and encouragement.

"Good morning, leaders, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen!" Bai Hanchuan's loud voice spread throughout the park through the microphone. "Today, we are extremely excited to welcome the grand opening of the 'Splendid Mountains and Rivers' planting base! Here, I would like to thank all the employees who have worked hard for the construction of the base, and thank all those who have supported and helped us. It is your joint efforts that have made today's brilliant achievements possible!"

His speech won warm applause. I took the microphone and continued, "'Jinxiu Shanhe' is a dream place that we have devoted all our efforts to create. We are committed to cultivating the best quality flowers and bringing beauty and fragrance to thousands of households. In the future, we will continue to work hard and innovate to build the base into a first-class modern flower production base in China and contribute our own strength to promoting agricultural development and rural revitalization!"

As soon as I finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out from the crowd, which lasted for a long time. At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and I saw two elderly people slowly walking up to the podium under the guidance of the staff. One of the elderly people was energetic and kind-hearted, and I recognized him at a glance...

"Mr. Li?!" I covered my mouth in surprise, and could hardly believe my eyes. Standing in front of me was Professor Li, the retired gardening master who had helped me so much in the flower market!

Professor Li smiled kindly and patted the back of my hand: "Girl, what's wrong? Don't you welcome an old man like me?"

"How could that be!" I said excitedly, "I'm so glad you can come!"

Next to Professor Li stood a handsome young man. He smiled at me and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Mu. I am Professor Li's student and a botany researcher. You can call me Dr. Lin."

I immediately shook hands with Dr. Lin, my heart full of admiration and gratitude. It turned out that Professor Li had been paying attention to me silently and even introduced his favorite student to me.

Professor Li and Dr. Lin, the technical backbone of the planting base, showed their latest scientific research results at the opening ceremony - a new variety of roses that can bloom all year round. This rose has bright colors, a long flowering period, and strong disease resistance. It attracted everyone's attention as soon as it was unveiled. The audience burst into warm applause, and people asked about the planting method and purchase channels of this rose.

After the opening ceremony, tourists flocked to the planting base to see the flowers we carefully cultivated, taste the special foods made with fresh flowers, and experience the unique eco-tourism projects.

"Wow! These flowers are so beautiful! I want to take pictures of them all!"

"This rose tea is delicious! It's sweet and refreshing!"

"I want to book a flower DIY experience class and make my own wreath!"

The enthusiasm of the tourists exceeded our expectations. The characteristic agricultural products and eco-tourism projects of the planting base were warmly welcomed, and the sales and reservations were extremely hot. Looking at this lively scene, I was so excited that tears welled up in my eyes. All the hard work and efforts were worth it!

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked up to the podium. He picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and solemnly announced: "Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, now I declare..." "...Mu's planting base is officially opened!" The middle-aged man's loud voice resounded throughout the venue, and the applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

I smiled at Bai Hanchuan excitedly, my heart filled with joy and pride. I know this is just the beginning, there is a broader world waiting for us to explore in the future.

The middle-aged man was the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture. He walked off the stage with a big smile on his face, shook my hand and said, "Xiao Mu, your planting base is developing very well. The city has decided to list you as a key support project and provide more policy support and resource allocation. I hope you will continue to work hard and make greater contributions to the modernization of our country's agriculture!"

I quickly thanked the city for its support and encouragement, and said that I would definitely lead the team to work hard and live up to everyone's expectations.

As the ceremony drew to a close, the guests were enthusiastically visiting the planting base, their faces filled with joy and admiration. Looking at this lively scene, my heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and happiness.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and several foreigners in suits but with fierce eyes walked towards the podium in a menacing manner.

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart. Before I could react, one of the foreigners grabbed the microphone from the host and said loudly in stiff Chinese:

"Mu Jinli, you despicable villains stole our scientific research results and dared to open a business with great fanfare? Today, I will make you pay the price!"

His words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere, instantly setting off the whole place. The crowd immediately exploded, talking and pointing.

My face darkened, and a thought quickly flashed through my mind: They are coming for me, for the planting base!

Bai Hanchuan quickly walked to my side and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

I took a deep breath, forced myself to calm down, and whispered to him, "They are the remnants of the international agricultural giants. They were in the flower market before..."

Before I could finish my words, the foreigners had already broken through the security guards and were approaching us...

Bai Hanchuan's expression was stern. He protected me behind him, stared at the foreigners with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just talk to me and don't make a move!"

"You're using your hands?" The leading foreigner sneered, pointed at me and said viciously, "You stole our things, and you dare to ask us to talk nicely? If you don't hand over the formula today, don't blame us for being rude!"

The guests around were all stunned by the sudden change, talking about it and speculating what had happened. Some reporters keenly caught the news and came over with cameras and microphones, taking pictures of us.

I took a deep breath, knowing that this matter could not be resolved peacefully today and must be dealt with decisively. Otherwise, it would not only affect the reputation of the planting base, but would also bring us greater trouble.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" I raised my voice and stared at the foreigner coldly, "Our technology is all independently developed and we have full intellectual property rights. Please be responsible when you speak!"

"Independent research and development? Haha, that's ridiculous!" The foreigner seemed to have heard some big joke. He pointed at the display stand behind me and said loudly, "Don't you dare say that these new varieties of flowers are not cultivated with our technology?"

I looked in the direction of his finger and saw several of our latest precious flowers displayed on the display stand. These flowers had unique shapes and bright colors and were very popular in the market as soon as they were launched.

"These flowers are indeed cultivated by us, but they have nothing to do with your technology!" I fought back without showing any weakness, "We have complete research and development records and evidence to prove our innocence!"

"Evidence? Who cares about your evidence?" The foreigner laughed arrogantly. "Today, even if you say anything, you can't get rid of the charge of plagiarism!"

"You robbers!" Bai Hanchuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, his voice icy cold, "You want to rob others of their hard work, and then you turn the tables on them. You are so shameless!"

"What did you say?" The foreigner suddenly became furious and punched Bai Hanchuan in the face.

It happened in a flash. Bai Hanchuan was quick-witted and grabbed his fist. He twisted it hard, and with a "click", the foreigner's wrist was broken.

"Ah!" The foreigner screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and rolled on the ground, covering his wrist.

"Security, where is the security?" I immediately shouted loudly when I saw this.

The security guards who had been on standby rushed forward, surrounded the foreigners and took them under control.

I walked to the podium, picked up the microphone, faced the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Dear guests, friends, I'm sorry that something unexpected happened at today's opening ceremony. These people are the remnants of international agricultural giants. Because they are jealous of our technology and achievements, they deliberately come to make trouble and want to slander us for plagiarizing their technology. However, I can tell you responsibly that our technology is independently developed and we have complete intellectual property rights. We are not afraid of anyone's doubts and challenges!"

As soon as I finished speaking, there was warm applause from the crowd.

"Boss Mu, we believe in you!"

"These foreigners are so despicable that they actually want to steal our technology!"

"Support the Mu's planting base and safeguard our legitimate rights and interests!"

……

Watching this scene, my heart was filled with emotion and strength. I know that justice may be late, but it will never be absent!

Afterwards, we called the police, who arrived and took the foreigners away. The reporters present also pointed their cameras at the foreigners and recorded this ugly scene.

The incident ended with our victory. After the media reports, the public had a clearer understanding of the truth of the incident and their trust and support for us became more resolute.

Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other, our hearts filled with joy and pride. I knew that this was not only our victory, but also a victory for justice!
