Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

Bai Hanchuan's words were like a beam of light that shone into my dark world. I grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is there a turnaround in the situation at the base?"

He shook my hand and nodded vigorously: "Do you remember the scientific research team in the city? They succeeded!"

Of course I remember! Ever since the base was hit by pests and diseases, the municipal government sent a research team of agricultural experts to support us, hoping to find a solution to the problem. However, I haven't heard any good news from them for some time, and I'm almost desperate.

"They...they've developed a way to deal with those pests?" I babbled excitedly.

"Well," Bai Hanchuan's eyes were also filled with joy, "They have developed a new type of biological control agent specifically for this pest and disease, and it has been proven through experiments that the effect is very good and it will not cause any pollution to vegetables."

"That's great! It's really great!" I jumped up excitedly, hugged Bai Hanchuan, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"That's great, Jinli, we are saved!" Bai Hanchuan hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear.

At that moment, I felt like the whole world was brightening up. The haze that had been weighing on my heart for days was swept away, and the seed of hope was rekindled in my heart.

I immediately called all the employees at the base and asked them to put down their work and come back for the meeting immediately.

In the conference room, I excitedly announced the good news to everyone and conveyed the scientific research team's instructions and usage methods in detail. When the employees heard the news, they were also very excited and smiled for the first time in a long time.

"Comrades, now is not the time to relax, we must continue to work hard to minimize the losses as soon as possible!" I said loudly, "Now, everyone, take action immediately and follow the expert's guidance to spray the base comprehensively!"

"Yes!" The employees responded in unison and threw themselves into their work with high morale.

Watching everyone busy at work, my heart was filled with hope and emotion. I knew that we had finally gotten out of the predicament and welcomed the dawn.

At this time, Bai Hanchuan walked up to me, gently held my hand, and whispered: "Jinli, don't worry, I will find a way to solve the funding problem..."

The base finally had hope, and I felt relieved. But when I thought about the funding issue, I couldn't help but frown again. Bai Hanchuan saw my worry, reached out and smoothed my brows, and said gently but firmly: "Don't worry, I'll find a way to fund it."

I looked at him, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. These days, he has been running around for the base's affairs, and he has lost a lot of weight, but he has never complained to me.

"What are you going to do?" I asked. Although I felt sorry for him, I still had to face the reality.

Bai Hanchuan smiled and said confidently: "I know some friends in banks, and I can try to apply for an emergency loan. In addition, I plan to contact some old customers to see if I can advance part of the payment in advance."

I nodded, my heart full of gratitude and admiration for him. He always does this, silently shouldering everything for me and giving me the strongest support.

In the next few days, Bai Hanchuan began to run around for funding. Seeing his tired figure, I felt distressed, but I couldn't help him much. I could only try my best to take care of his daily life and let him have no worries.

Perhaps God was also touched by our efforts, and things went more smoothly than we imagined. Bai Hanchuan successfully applied for an emergency loan from the bank, and some old customers were willing to pay for the goods in advance, which solved our urgent needs.

After the funding problem was solved, everyone in the base became more motivated. We followed the guidance of experts and carried out pest control meticulously. Watching the sickly vegetables recover day by day, my mood became as bright as the sun.

What makes me even more relieved is that my father's condition has gradually improved during this period. The doctor said that in addition to proper treatment, the more important reason for his rapid recovery is his good mood. I know that my father saw the hope rekindled at the base, so he put aside his worries and actively cooperated with the treatment.

On the day he was discharged from the hospital, my father insisted on going back to the base to take a look. Standing on the ridge of the field, looking at the vibrant scene in front of him, my father burst into tears. "Good, good, good!" he said excitedly, "You have done a great job and lived up to everyone's expectations!"

I looked at my father, and my heart was filled with emotion and awe. He had devoted his entire life to this land, and even when he fell ill, he was always concerned about this land.

"Dad, don't worry, we will manage the base well and make it better and better!" I held my father's hand and said firmly.

After the base's affairs were back on track, I suddenly remembered Lin Xiao's flower shop. During this period, I was busy with the base's affairs and had no time to take care of her. I don't know how her flower shop is doing...

I explained the base to my father and hurried to Lin Xiao's flower shop on my bike. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Xiao busy pruning branches with a confident smile on his face, completely different from his previous gloomy look.

"Hey, how come you, such a busy man, have time to think of me?" Lin Xiao saw me and joked with a smile.

I looked at the neatly arranged flowers of various kinds in the flower shop and said with a smile, "It seems that I came to the right place today. Your business is booming!"

Lin Xiao put down the scissors in her hand, pulled me to sit aside, and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Didn't you suggest that I develop online sales channels before? I tried to open an online store, and I didn't expect the effect to be quite good. Now I have a lot of orders every day!"

I was happy for her. When I saw her worried about the poor business of the flower shop, I thought about whether I could help her. Although most of my space is vegetable seeds, there are also some rare flower seeds. I gave these seeds to Lin Xiao, taught her some planting techniques, and suggested that she try to sell them online.

"Don't be polite to me," I said, "We are friends. Your business is my business."

Lin Xiao's eyes moistened after hearing what I said. She held my hand and said sincerely, "Jinli, thank you, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

I patted her hands and comforted her: "Okay, it's all over. Let's work hard together in the future to make our lives better and better."

After chatting with Lin Xiao for a while, I gave her some advice on running an online store and then rode back to the base.

After returning to the base, I suddenly had an idea: why not use the Internet platform to do a live broadcast promotion for the base? Now that online live broadcasts are so popular, they will definitely attract a lot of attention.

I told my idea to Bo Hanchuan, and he was very supportive of it. We took action immediately, contacted a professional live broadcast team, built a live broadcast venue, and designed live broadcast content.

On the day of the live broadcast, I stood in front of the camera and showed netizens from all over the country the base's planting environment, planting techniques, and freshly picked vegetables. I also specially prepared some tips on vegetable planting and cooking techniques to interact with netizens.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was lively, and netizens left messages one after another to inquire about purchasing matters. Looking at the rising number of orders, Bai Hanchuan and I both smiled with satisfaction.

After the live broadcast, I stood in the greenhouse of the base, looking at the crops growing vigorously, and a long-lost smile appeared on my face. Bai Hanchuan walked to my side, gently held my hand, and whispered: "Jinli..."

"Jinli..." There was a barely perceptible tremor in Bai Hanchuan's voice. I knew that during this period of time, the pressure on his shoulders was no less than mine.

I turned around and gave him a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, we succeeded!"

The effect of this live broadcast was better than we expected. It not only opened up sales channels, but also increased the popularity of the base. More importantly, the government-supported scientific research team finally brought good news. They successfully developed a biological control method for this pest!

I took the latest pesticide and carefully sprayed it on the affected vegetables, as if I saw the seeds of hope sprouting. The workers in the base also swept away the previous haze and their faces were filled with joyful smiles.

"Great, finally found a solution!"

"Yes, now our base is saved!"

Listening to everyone's excited discussions, I was also very excited. This sudden pest caused us heavy losses and put us in a desperate situation. Now, we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

"Jinli," Bai Hanchuan suddenly held my hand tightly, his eyes deep, "Although we have overcome the difficulties, we have suffered heavy losses. We must find a way to make up for it as soon as possible..."

I understand what he means. This loss is a huge blow to us and almost empties all the base's liquidity.

"I already have a plan," I took a deep breath, my eyes determined, "Tomorrow, we will start taking action!"

Bai Hanchuan looked at me, his eyes full of trust and expectation, "Okay, I believe you."

The next day, I made a bold decision...
