Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, and night fell. The lights in the office seemed particularly dazzling. I held the latest sales report in my hand, and my brows were furrowed. For several consecutive weeks, the sales of vegetables in our planting base have been declining. Although I had expected that the market competition would become more and more fierce, such results still made me feel flustered.

"What's wrong? Are you worried again?" Bai Hanchuan pushed the door open and came in, holding two cups of steaming milk. He was also very worried during this period. The company was undergoing business restructuring, and the cloud of layoffs loomed over everyone's mind.

I took the milk and forced a smile: "It's okay, these are just some small problems at work that can be solved quickly." I didn't want him to worry about me at this time.

"Really?" Bai Hanchuan obviously saw through my forced smile, walked over to me, and gently hugged me, "Jinli, there is no need to hide anything between us. No matter what happens, we have to face it together."

His warm embrace made my nose sore, and the grievances and worries accumulated in my heart could no longer be held back and poured out. I handed him the sales report and choked up and said, "Look, the performance during this period..."

Bai Hanchuan took the report, flipped through it carefully, and his brows gradually furrowed. He certainly understood what this meant, which meant that all our previous efforts might go to waste, and that our common dream would face huge challenges.

After a long while, he put down the report, gently lifted my chin, and asked me to look at him: "Jinli, look at me. No matter what happens, I believe in you and ourselves. We can definitely get through this difficult time."

His eyes were firm and gentle, like a warm current, slowly flowing into my heart, dispelling my anxiety and fear. Yes, we still have each other, family, and friends, and we can definitely overcome all difficulties.

"Knock knock knock..." There was a sudden knock on the office door, and my father and Lin Xiao walked in, both with a hint of worry on their faces.

"Jinli, I heard from Lin Xiao..." My father hesitated, his worried eyes wandering back and forth between me and Bai Hanchuan. "Dad, Lin Xiao, why are you here?" I quickly stood up, hiding the worry on my face.

"Silly child, do you think your father's news network is just for show? I've heard about the vegetable base." My father patted my hands lovingly, "Your Aunt Lin and I are here today not to blame you, but to help you."

I looked at my father in surprise, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. I thought he would blame me for my poor management, but he not only did not blame me, but also offered to help me.

"Jinli, your father is right. We are a family. No matter what happens, we will support you." Lin Xiao also held my hand and gave me an encouraging look.

"But..." I was still a little hesitant and didn't know how to start.

"No problem," my father interrupted me. "I have contacted several large supermarkets and farmers' markets. They are very interested in the vegetables from our base. You can arrange for someone to send samples over tomorrow."

I opened my mouth in surprise and was speechless for a long time. I thought it would take a long time and effort to open a new sales channel, but I didn't expect my father to help me solve this problem so quickly.

"Dad, thank you!" I hugged my father excitedly, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Silly child, why are you being so polite to your dad?" My father patted my back lovingly. "Just remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, we will always be your strongest support."

Lin Xiao, who was standing by, looked at my father and me with a pleased smile on her face. She turned to Bai Hanchuan and said, "Hanchuan, you've been working hard during this period. Although the company's business is important, you should also take care of your health."

"Thank you, Aunt Lin. I will." Bai Hanchuan nodded gratefully.

"Well, it's getting late, we should go back." Father stood up and patted Bai Hanchuan on the shoulder, "You should get some rest early. If you need any help, just ask."

After seeing my father and Lin Xiao off, I turned and looked at Bai Hanchuan. There was a hint of fatigue on his face, but more of determination and hope.

"We will definitely succeed." He held my hand and said firmly.

"Yeah!" I nodded heavily, my heart filled with strength.

I know that with the support of family and friends, we can overcome the difficulties and usher in a better tomorrow. At this time, Lin Xiao took out a stack of exquisite cards from his bag, handed them to me and said, "Jinli, this is..."

"Jinli, this is..." Lin Xiao took out a stack of exquisite cards from her bag, handed them to me and said, "This is the promotional card I made in the flower shop. What do you think of it?"

I took the card and saw the name and contact information of our vegetable base, as well as some photos of vegetables, printed on it. It was a very beautifully designed card.

"Lin Xiao, you are so thoughtful!" I said touchedly, "How did you think of doing this for me?"

"Do we need to talk about this?" Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Isn't your vegetable base my vegetable base? I can be considered to be close to the water and get the moon first. From now on, I can use the freshest vegetables as embellishments for the flower packaging in my flower shop."

I looked at the bright and juicy vegetable photos on the card, and it seemed as if I saw the light of hope. Lin Xiao is always like this, silently giving for me without asking for anything in return.

"Thank you, Lin Xiao." I said sincerely, "It's my blessing to have a friend like you."

"Okay, stop being sentimental." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "It's getting late. I should go back. You should get some rest early."

After seeing Lin Xiao off, I returned to the room and saw Bai Hanchuan working at his desk. During this period, he had been running around for the company's affairs and had lost a lot of weight.

"How is it? Are things going well at the company?" I walked up to him and asked softly.

"Well, we are on the right track." Bai Hanchuan raised his head and gave me a reassuring smile. "The morale of the team is very high. We all believe that as long as we persevere, we will be able to overcome the difficulties."

"That's good." I breathed a sigh of relief. Both of us have been under a lot of pressure during this period, but we both gritted our teeth and persevered because we knew that we were not fighting alone. We still have each other and the support of our family and friends.

"By the way, my parents and Aunt Lin were here today. They care about you very much and support us very much." I told Bai Hanchuan what happened today.

"Yes, I know." Bai Hanchuan nodded, "When we are done with this busy period, let's go visit our parents and thank Aunt Lin."

"Okay." I said with a smile.

Seeing Bai Hanchuan's tired look, I said distressedly: "Take a rest first. I'll go get you a glass of water."

"Okay." Bai Hanchuan nodded, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair to rest.

When I looked at him, my heart was filled with love and gratitude. I was glad that he was always by my side, giving me strength and hope during my most difficult times.

"Knock, knock, knock..." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door...

"Knock, knock, knock..." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. My heart was shocked. Who could it be at this late hour?

When I opened the door, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was my father and Lin Xiao who came back. "Dad, Lin Xiao, why are you back?" I quickly welcomed them into the house.

Dad smiled and said, "Your Aunt Lin and I had dinner outside, so I thought I'd come and chat with you and see how you've been doing." Lin Xiao was holding a basket filled with fresh fruits and cakes, and said, "I know you've been working hard lately, so I'm going to give you some nutrition."

Seeing how much they cared about us, my eyes couldn't help but become wet. Bai Hanchuan also came over and exchanged a few words with Dad and Lin Xiao.

The four of us sat in the living room, drinking tea and eating snacks while chatting. Dad and Lin Xiao kept encouraging us, saying that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must believe in ourselves and persevere. They will always be our strongest support. Listening to their words, I felt warm in my heart, and all the fatigue and pressure disappeared.

To thank my father and Lin Xiao for their support, Bai Hanchuan and I decided to hold a small celebration at home. I cooked a few of my signature dishes, and Bai Hanchuan bought a bottle of good wine.

At the dinner table, we toasted to each other and thanked each other for their support and company. Dad and Lin Xiao looked at us with happy smiles on their faces. I know that we can't get to where we are today without their love and support.

After eating and drinking, my father and Lin Xiao stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, my father patted my shoulder and said earnestly: "Jinli, you and Hanchuan are both good children. I believe you will be able to create your own glory."

After seeing my father and Lin Xiao off, Bai Hanchuan and I started to clean up the dishes. After finishing, I walked to the window and looked at the bright moonlight outside, my heart full of hope. I believe that with the support of my family and the company of my friends, Bai Hanchuan and I will be able to overcome all difficulties and create a better future.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly. I picked up the phone, but before I could say anything, I heard the other party's hurried voice: "Is this Boss Mu? I am..."
