Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

The applause gradually died down, and Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other, our tightly clasped hands conveying each other's warmth and determination. The noise and joy of the wedding gradually faded away, life must go on, and what awaits us are new challenges.

The sweetness of the newlywed life did not allow us to indulge for too long. Bai Hanchuan and I soon devoted our energy to the development of the planting base. The new products of the base were well received by the market as soon as they were launched, and the supply was in short supply. Looking at the piles of orders in the warehouse, the employees were smiling and full of energy.

"Jinli, the products from our base are in great demand right now!" Xiao Li from the purchasing department excitedly rushed into my office. "Several large supermarkets have called to urge for delivery, saying that our vegetables and fruits are fresh and delicious, and customers have recognized our brand!"

I smiled and nodded, feeling very relieved. Over the years, Bai Hanchuan and I have put in so much effort and experienced countless hardships and obstacles before finally achieving today's success.

"Jinli, we can't just focus on the immediate benefits." Bai Hanchuan put down the report in his hand, his eyes deep and firm, "The market is changing rapidly, we must continue to innovate, improve product quality and output, in order to remain invincible in the fierce competition."

I knew what he said made sense. Bai Hanchuan and I called together the base management and technical backbones to discuss the next development plan.

The atmosphere in the conference room was lively, everyone spoke freely and put forward many constructive suggestions.

"I think we can introduce more advanced planting equipment to improve production efficiency."

"I think we should strengthen technical training to improve the planting skills of our employees."

……

At this time, Mr. Liu, who had been silent all this time, slowly spoke. He is a retired gardening master and the most respected teacher and friend of Bai Hanchuan and I. The success of the base today is inseparable from his careful guidance.

"I suggest you try three-dimensional planting and soilless cultivation techniques." Mr. Liu pushed his reading glasses, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "These two technologies can make full use of space and resources and effectively improve yield and quality."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man sitting next to him also spoke up. He is a botanical expert we recently hired and enjoys a high reputation in the industry.

"I agree with Mr. Liu's opinion. In addition, I also suggest introducing an intelligent management system to conduct all-round and refined management of the base, so as to further improve efficiency and quality."

Bai Hanchuan and I looked at each other, our hearts filled with anticipation and excitement.

"Mr. Liu, what you mean is..." I couldn't wait to know more.

Mr. Liu smiled and nodded, pointing to the middle-aged man next to him: "This is..."

Just as he was about to introduce himself, someone knocked on the office door. Then, Secretary Xiao Zhang hurried in, "Mr. Mu, Mr. Bai, outside..."

Her face looked a little strange, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak. Bai Hanchuan and I both had a bad feeling. Xiao Zhang's face was pale, and she spoke incoherently, "There are a lot of people outside... saying... that there are problems with the products in our base, and they want... to ask us to give an explanation..."

My heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came over me. Bai Hanchuan and I looked at each other, and we both saw solemnity in each other's eyes. Without thinking too much, we immediately stood up and followed Xiao Zhang out of the office quickly.

As soon as we arrived at the gate of the base, we were overwhelmed by noisy sounds. A group of people gathered at the gate, shouting excitedly, holding products from our base in their hands.

"What's wrong with the products from your base? They cause vomiting and diarrhea after eating them. How can we be assured?"

"That's right. We came here for your quality. How can you deceive consumers like this?"

"If you don't give us an explanation today, we will sue you!"

Looking at the excited crowd in front of me, my head was buzzing. How could this happen? Our products have always been strictly controlled for quality, how could such a problem occur?

Bai Hanchuan looked stern. He motioned me to stand behind him. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Everyone please be quiet. I am the person in charge of this base. We can solve any problems you have. Please trust us. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

His voice was steady and powerful, with a convincing force. The crowd gradually quieted down, but the anger on their faces remained.

"You said you would solve it, so why should we believe you?"

"That's right, who knows if you are just trying to fool us?"

Bai Hanchuan ignored their questions and turned to an employee behind him and said, "Xiao Wang, go and send all batches of products for testing immediately. You must get the results as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Bai." Xiao Wang took the order and left.

Looking at everything in front of me, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. The most important thing now is to find out the truth of the matter and find out the cause of the problem.

When I returned to the office, I was still feeling very heavy-hearted. This incident happened so suddenly and violently that I was caught off guard.

"Hanchuan, do you think someone is targeting us on purpose?" I couldn't help but wonder.

Bai Hanchuan frowned, tapping the table with his fingers. After a moment's silence, he said, "We can't be sure yet, but we can't rule out this possibility. We have been developing very well recently, so it's inevitable that we will block some people's financial opportunities."

I nodded, already having some guesses in my mind.

"No matter who is behind this, we must respond calmly and not lose our composure." Bai Hanchuan's eyes were firm. "I believe that those who are innocent will be innocent. As long as we act uprightly and do our job properly, we will be able to overcome the difficulties."

His words gave me great encouragement and support. Yes, we have experienced so many ups and downs, so why should we be afraid of the difficulties in front of us?

"You are right. We should not be intimidated by the difficulties we are facing." I took a deep breath and said firmly, "I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and usher in new hope."

"Knock knock knock..." At this time, the office door was knocked, and Mr. Liu and the botanical expert walked in.

"Jinli, Hanchuan, we came here to..." Mr. Liu just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Bai Hanchuan...

"Mr. Liu, you and...?" Bai Hanchuan stood up and motioned for them to sit down.

"Just call me Lao Zhao. Lao Liu and I are here to help you think of a solution." Lao Zhao, the botanical expert, took over the conversation with sincerity in his eyes. "We have also heard about this matter. We must not let the villain succeed!"

Mr. Liu nodded and said earnestly: "Jinli, you and Hanchuan are both good children. We have seen how well the base has developed. We must hold on even when we encounter difficulties!"

Their words are like the warm sun in winter, warming our anxious hearts. Yes, we still have so many people supporting us, what is there to be afraid of!

I took a deep breath and said firmly, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, thank you, Mr. Zhao, we will definitely find out the truth and give everyone an explanation!"

"Yes, those who are innocent will be innocent. We are upright and honest, and we are not afraid of those evil tendencies!" Bai Hanchuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing an unquestionable firmness.

After hearing the news, the base staff were very excited and expressed their willingness to tide over the difficulties together with the base. Looking at their determined eyes, I was filled with emotion and strength.

"Boss Bai, Manager Mu, we believe in you and will find out the truth!"

"We are not afraid of difficulties and will definitely overcome the challenges together with the base!"

Your support gave us great motivation. We started to investigate the truth of the incident and actively cooperated with the inspection work of relevant departments.

At the same time, we also realize that this incident exposed our shortcomings in product safety assurance. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, we decided to upgrade the base comprehensively, introduce more advanced testing equipment and technology, and establish a more complete product safety traceability system.

However, we encountered some technical difficulties during the transformation process. The planting environment of the base is special and requires special equipment and technology to meet the requirements. However, these equipment and technologies are relatively rare in China, and it was difficult for us to find a suitable solution for a while.

“What should we do? If this technical problem is not solved, the upgrade and renovation cannot go on. We…” I was filled with anxiety and frowned.

Bai Hanchuan hesitated for a moment, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "It seems that we have to go..."

"It seems that we have to go..." Before Bai Hanchuan finished his words, my cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" I pressed the answer button, still thinking about the transformation.

"Is this Manager Mu? I'm from XX Research Institute..." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded unfamiliar, but the tone was full of enthusiasm.

My heart skipped a beat. XX Research Institute? Isn't that the top agricultural research institute in China? Could it be...

“It’s like this. We’ve heard about the situation at your base and are very interested in your project, especially…” The other party’s voice continued, but I couldn’t hear anything else.

There is always a way out! Happiness came so suddenly that I even wondered if I was dreaming.

I looked at Bai Hanchuan excitedly. He obviously realized what this call meant, and his originally furrowed brows relaxed.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately told Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhao the good news. After hearing it, the two old gentlemen were also very happy and kept saying that this is a good thing, a good thing!

"Jinli, it seems that God is helping you! This expert is an authority in this field. With his help, your technical problems will definitely be solved!" Mr. Liu clapped my hands excitedly, with a gleam of relief in his turbid eyes.

"Yes, Jinli, you must seize this opportunity and strive to build a better base!" Mr. Zhao also said, his tone full of anticipation.

I nodded heavily, "We will! We will definitely work hard and live up to everyone's expectations!"

The next day, Bai Hanchuan and I set off for the XX Research Institute. In the institute, we met the expert who contacted us first - Professor Chen.

Professor Chen is over 50 years old, but he is vigorous and energetic, with bright eyes. He is a knowledgeable and experienced scholar. He warmly received us and asked us in detail about the base and the technical problems we encountered.

After an in-depth discussion, Professor Chen expressed his willingness to help us solve the technical problems and proposed a preliminary solution.

"Your planting environment is indeed quite special, and general equipment and technology are difficult to meet the requirements. However, we can improve the existing technology according to your actual situation and develop special equipment that is more suitable for you..."

Professor Chen’s words gave Bai Hanchuan and I a glimmer of hope, as if we had seen the sun after parting the clouds. My heart was filled with gratitude and admiration.

"Thank you, Professor Chen! You really helped us a lot!" I said excitedly, wishing I could hold his hand and shake it hard.

Professor Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome. I also admire your entrepreneurial spirit. I hope we can cooperate successfully and contribute to the agricultural development of our country together!"

After returning from XX Research Institute, Bai Hanchuan and I immediately began to prepare and implement the solution proposed by Professor Chen.

After a period of hard work, the technical problems were finally solved, and the upgrading and renovation of the base was carried out smoothly. We introduced more advanced equipment and technology, established a more complete product safety traceability system, and the base was completely renewed...

A new batch of products is about to be launched. I looked at the green and vibrant scene in front of me, breathed a sigh of relief, and a gratified smile appeared on my face. However, I didn’t know that greater challenges were still ahead, and the storm was about to come...
