Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

"Hello?" I answered the phone with confusion.

"Is this Mr. Mu? I'm from XX Pharmaceutical Company..." A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, this is me. How can I help you?" I was a little confused.

"Well, our company is very interested in the new type of orchid you grow, and we want to discuss a large order with you..."

After I hung up the phone, my heart was still pounding. This was just the beginning. As the news spread, more and more people knew about our planting base, and orders came in like snowflakes.

"Jinli, we succeeded!" Bai Hanchuan held my hand excitedly, his eyes a little red.

I nodded vigorously, tears of joy welling up in my eyes. All my hard work these days was finally rewarded.

We used the money we earned to pay off all our debts, expand the scale of our planting base, and introduce more precious flower varieties. Looking at the vibrant flower fields, I seem to see infinite hope for the future.

"Jinli, come and have a look!" That day, Lin Xiao came running over excitedly and stuffed a newspaper into my hands, "Our planting base has been reported!"

I took the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page which read "Major breakthrough in new anti-cancer drugs, thanks to the planting base", and the accompanying picture was a corner of our base, with flowers in full bloom, it was a beautiful sight.

"Great! We finally got recognition!" I excitedly held Lin Xiao's hand, my heart filled with pride and joy.

In the evening, the setting sun cast a layer of golden light on the entire planting base. Bai Hanchuan and I walked side by side on the ridge of the field, enjoying this rare tranquility.

"Ding-ling-ling..." A rapid ring of the phone broke the silence. I took out my cell phone and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen.

"Hello?" I pressed the answer button and a low voice came from the other end of the phone... "Hello, is this Mr. Mu?" The voice on the other end of the phone was low and unfamiliar, with a hint of imperceptible hesitation.

I held the phone, a trace of doubt flashed through my mind: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am..." The other party paused, as if considering his words, "I am the person in charge of the orchid project that competed with you before. My last name is Wang."

My heart sank slightly, and I instantly understood his intention. Boss Wang was the competitor who had been trying to suppress our planting base. I didn't expect him to contact me on his own initiative.

"Boss Wang, is there anything I can help you with?" I tried to sound calm, but my fingers holding the phone tightened unconsciously.

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the line, and then Boss Wang's slightly bitter voice came: "Boss Mu, I called you this time to congratulate you and apologize to you for what happened before. Your new orchid project is very successful, I... I am completely convinced."

His words were full of desolation and helplessness, and I could even imagine his expression at the moment. My once invincible competitor now had to bow down to me and admit defeat.

"Boss Wang, let the past be the past." I said calmly, "Business is like a battlefield. We are just working hard for our own goals."

"You're right." Boss Wang's voice was filled with a hint of relief. "From now on, I will no longer interfere with your planting base. I wish you all the best."

After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief. The competitor who had troubled us for a long time finally gave up, and the development of the planting base will usher in a broader world.

"What's wrong? Who's calling?" Bai Hanchuan walked over and asked with concern.

I told him what happened, and after listening to me, he showed a relieved smile on his face: "The rain has passed and the sky is clear. Everything is moving in a good direction."

I nodded, looking at the vibrant flower fields in front of me, my heart was full of hope. The addition of Lin Xiao and the mysterious ally has injected new vitality into the planting base. With his keen market insight and excellent management ability, Lin Xiao has managed the operation of the base in an orderly manner; and the retired gardening master, with his many years of experience and unique technology, has cultivated many rare flower varieties and attracted many customers.

"Jinli, look!" Lin Xiao ran over excitedly, holding an invitation in his hand, "We received an invitation letter, inviting us to attend the National Agricultural Development Forum next month!"

I took the invitation and opened it. It clearly said "Ms. Mu Jinli and Mr. Bai Hanchuan are cordially invited to attend..."

I took a deep breath, raised my head, and looked firm and confident: "Let's go, it's time for us to set off."

After the rain, the sky cleared up and the air was filled with the fresh smell of soil. I stood in front of the newly built greenhouse at the planting base, looking at the neat rows of flowers, and an indescribable sense of pride surged in my heart.

"Jinli, are you ready? It's about to start." Bai Hanchuan's voice came from behind me, pulling me back from my thoughts. He was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers today, but he looked tall and handsome, making people unable to take their eyes off him.

I took a deep breath, nodded, and suppressed my nervousness: "I'm ready, let's go."

The National Agricultural Development Forum was held at the city's largest conference center. Agricultural experts, entrepreneurs and government representatives from all over the country gathered together to discuss new trends and opportunities in agricultural development. As representatives of emerging agricultural enterprises, Bai Hanchuan and I were invited to share the successful experience of our planting base at the meeting.

Standing on the stage, looking at the crowd below, I felt a little nervous. But I quickly adjusted my mindset and told the story of the planting base from scratch to something, from weak to strong, and how we overcame difficulties and finally achieved success.

My story resonated with the audience, and the applause rang out again and again. After the speech, many colleagues came up to us, asking us for advice on planting techniques and expressing their intention to cooperate.

"Jinli, you're awesome!" Lin Xiao gave me a hug excitedly, "Your speech today was amazing!"

I smiled and patted her hands, feeling deeply moved. We were once just a small unknown base, but now we have finally gained recognition and respect from the industry.

To celebrate this success, we decided to hold a celebration at the base. In the evening, the base was decorated with lights and there was constant laughter. Bai Hanchuan and I stood in the center of the stage, looking at the cheerful crowd below, with our hearts filled with gratitude.

"Thank you for your continued support and help. It is you who have made us what we are today!" I raised my glass and said sincerely, "I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, our planting base will get better and better and create a more brilliant future!"

"cheers!"

The cheers, applause and music intertwined into a sea of ​​joy. I looked at everything in front of me and couldn't help but smile happily.

"Let's go for a walk over there." Bai Hanchuan gently took my hand and walked out of the crowd.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on us, stretching the two figures very long...
