Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

Bai Hanchuan's face darkened visibly, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the phone turned white, and my heart began to lift. "What? How could this happen..." He whispered, his tone revealing his anxiety and exhaustion.

My heart tightened, and I had a bad feeling. I put down the plan in my hand, walked to his side, gently held his hand, and silently conveyed my concern and support.

"I understand. I'll go back and deal with it as soon as possible." Bai Hanchuan hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down, but his furrowed brows still revealed his anxiety at the moment.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked softly, the uneasy feeling in my heart growing stronger and stronger.

Bai Hanchuan turned around, gently hugged me, and said in a heavy tone: "Something happened at the base. There was a sudden rainstorm, and some planting areas were severely damaged..."

My heart sank. Although I had expected that expanding the scale of cultivation would bring various risks, I didn't expect to encounter challenges so soon. I hugged him tightly, trying to give him strength with my body temperature: "Don't worry, we will find a way to solve it together."

He stroked my hair gently, with a hint of bitterness in his tone: "The company has also encountered some problems. The R&D project has encountered bottlenecks, and capital turnover has also become difficult..."

The successive blows made me feel a little breathless. Looking at this man who was always calm and determined, but now looked exhausted due to the pressure, my heart felt as if it was stabbed by a needle.

"It will be fine, everything will be fine..." I said it over and over again, as if I was talking to him, or to myself.

He took a deep breath, let me go, and a hint of fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes: "You're right, we can't give up! We will return to the base early tomorrow morning and overcome the difficulties together with everyone else!"

I nodded firmly and held his hand tightly, but I still couldn't calm down. Suddenly, I thought of someone who might be able to help...

"Xiaoxiao! I need your help..." I picked up the phone and dialed Lin Xiao's number...

Xiaoxiao received my call and after listening to my description, she said "wait for me" without hesitation and hung up the phone. In less than an hour, she appeared in front of me and brought several employees of the flower shop. "Don't worry, there is strength in numbers, we will help you together!"

I looked at Xiaoxiao with emotion. Her righteousness and enthusiasm always gave me strength when I needed it most. I briefly introduced the situation to everyone and then began to assign tasks. Xiaoxiao and her staff were responsible for helping to contact vehicles and transport supplies to the base, while Bai Hanchuan and I began to work on a plan for the base's post-disaster reconstruction.

At this time, my father also came over. He anxiously asked about the situation. When he learned about the situation at the base, he said without hesitation that he would mobilize all his connections to help us. Seeing my father's worried expression, my nose was sore. I held back my tears and told him that we would do everything we could to get through the difficulties.

That night, we gathered all the employees and held an emergency meeting in a tent that was temporarily built at the base. Under the dim light, everyone's face was full of fatigue and worry. I took a deep breath, explained the current situation to everyone in detail, and proposed a preliminary solution.

"I know that the current situation is very difficult for everyone, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome the current difficulties!" Although my voice was not loud, it was full of power.

Bai Hanchuan also stood up, and he briefly analyzed the current situation and proposed a plan for technical improvement. "This rainstorm made us realize that the base's precautions against extreme weather were not perfect enough in the early stages of construction. Next, we need to..."

His words were steady and powerful, instilling confidence and hope in everyone. The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became lively, and everyone began to speak enthusiastically, proposing various suggestions and plans. Someone suggested that they could contact nearby villagers and hire them to help repair the damaged fields; someone suggested that they could use this opportunity to improve planting techniques and increase the ability of crops to resist disasters...

The meeting ended late at night. Looking at everyone's tired but hopeful faces, Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other, our hearts filled with hope. The next morning, everyone started the intensive and orderly reconstruction work according to the plan. Looking at the busy figures, I know that we can definitely overcome this disaster and usher in a better tomorrow.

Bai Hanchuan walked up to me and gently held my hand. His eyes were firm and gentle: "Don't worry, everything will be fine..." I held his hand back, feeling the warmth of his palm, and my heart was filled with strength.

However, just when we thought everything was going in a good direction, a piece of news broke the brief peace...

"Jinli, phone call." Lin Xiao hurried over to me and handed me the phone, her tone a little flustered. My heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over me.

"Hello?" I tried to make my voice sound calm.

"Jinli, it's bad, something has happened!" I heard my father's anxious voice on the other end of the line, and my heart instantly rose to my throat. "The city suddenly issued a notice to re-evaluate our project. If the evaluation is not qualified, we will..."

My father didn't say anything more, but I understood what he meant. If the project was stopped, all our previous efforts would be wasted and the company would suffer huge losses.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "Dad, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, I immediately told Bai Hanchuan about the situation. After listening to me, he frowned and looked serious.

"It seems that someone wants to take advantage of the situation." He said in a deep voice.

I understand what he means. This rainstorm is just a fuse, and there must be other reasons behind it.

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most urgent task is to solve the problem." I forced myself to calm down. "You lead the technical team to solve the technical problems as soon as possible. I will go to the relevant departments to understand the situation."

Bai Hanchuan nodded, said nothing more, and turned to his intense work. I know that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, but he will do his best to protect our common dream.

In the next few days, we entered a state of racing against time. Bai Hanchuan led the technical team to work day and night and finally solved the technical problems in the shortest time. My father, Lin Xiao and I helped repair the facilities and take care of the damaged crops at the base.

We are like a high-speed machine, and everyone is doing their best in their own positions. Fatigue, anxiety, pressure, these negative emotions are intertwined and almost crush us. But we can't fall down, because we are carrying the hopes of too many people.

"Jinli, look!" Lin Xiao pointed to a green field in the distance, a gratified smile on his face.

I followed her gaze and saw that the fields that had been destroyed by the rainstorm had now regained their vitality. New shoots were breaking through the soil, shining with hope in the sun.

My nose felt sore and tears almost came out. This is the result of our joint efforts and a symbol of hope.

"We succeeded..." I murmured to myself, with a hint of sob in my voice.

Bai Hanchuan walked up to me and gently held me in his arms.

"We succeeded." He repeated my words, his tone firm and powerful.

We looked at the revitalized planting base and company with gratitude in our hearts. However, at this moment, my cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number...

"Hello?" I answered the phone, my tone still containing a hint of joy of surviving a disaster.

"Is this Mu Jinli, President Mu?" A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" I responded politely.

"I'm from the Municipal Agricultural Products Procurement Center. We've noticed your company's recent project. When is it convenient for you? We'd like to arrange a meeting with you to discuss cooperation matters..."

After hanging up the phone, I was overjoyed. The city's agricultural product procurement center took the initiative to contact us, which means that our products have been officially recognized, which is of great help in opening up the market and increasing our visibility. I looked at Bai Hanchuan excitedly, and he was also smiling, and the fatigue in his eyes was diluted a little.

"I knew we could do it!" I clenched my fists excitedly and spoke in a firm tone.

In the next few days, the whole company was busy. According to the requirements of the Municipal Agricultural Products Procurement Center, we upgraded the packaging of the products and developed a detailed supply plan. My father and Lin Xiao also joined the busy ranks, helping us to check the orders and contact the transportation vehicles.

Watching boxes of beautifully packaged products being loaded onto trucks, I feel a sense of accomplishment. This is the result of the joint efforts of all of us, carrying our sweat and hope, and is about to enter a wider market.

"Jinli, thank you for your hard work." Bai Hanchuan walked over to me and gently wiped the sweat from my forehead.

"You too." I looked up at him, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in the corners of my eyes and eyebrows. "We succeeded, didn't we?"

"Yes, we succeeded." Bai Hanchuan nodded affirmatively, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

We stood side by side at the company gate, watching the last truck drive out of the gate. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on us, casting a layer of golden light.

"Next, we can take a good rest for a while." I stretched, with a hint of fatigue in my tone, but more of relaxation.

"Yes, everyone has been very busy during this period." Bai Hanchuan nodded in agreement, "After this busy period, I will take you there..."

Before he finished speaking, a black car slowly drove up and stopped in front of us. The car window slowly rolled down, and a man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses poked his head out with a professional smile on his face.

"Excuse me, is this Mu Jinli, President Mu?"
