Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

Chapter 254: Negative Review by the Jury

When Wang Cuifen saw the people coming, her face turned pale, but she quickly regained her arrogance and pointed at me and complained: "Leader, you have to take charge of us! This group of people not only occupied our stall, but also injured our people!"

I sneered in my heart. It seems that Wang Cuifen will not give up until she sees the Yellow River and will not cry until she sees the coffin!

The middle-aged man ignored Wang Cuifen's shouting, but turned to look at me and asked in a serious tone: "What's going on?"

I took a deep breath, recounted the whole story in detail, and pointed out the evidence that Wang Cuifen and others were lying.

"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Cuifen screamed, "It's obviously you..."

"That's enough!" The middle-aged man shouted at Wang Cuifen, then turned to the people behind him and said, "Go and investigate the matter thoroughly. Whoever is responsible will be held accountable!"

"Yes!"

The crowd burst into warm applause. I nodded gratefully to the middle-aged man, and a huge weight was finally lifted off my shoulders.

The crowd dispersed, and the trade fair continued. I looked at the endless stream of customers in front of the booth, and my heart was filled with hope.

However, before I could be happy for long, a new crisis arose.

Halfway through the trade fair, a group of people came in in a mighty procession, led by a middle-aged man in a suit. He was followed by several staff members holding notebooks and pens in their hands. They looked like leaders who came to inspect the work.

"This is the jury, which is specifically responsible for selecting excellent products." Uncle Li explained to me in a low voice.

I nodded, but a feeling of uneasiness rose in my heart.

Sure enough, when the jury walked to Wang Cuifen's stall, Wang Cuifen came up to them with a big smile on her face and whispered something. The jury members immediately smiled and praised their products.

When it was our turn, the judges' attitude took a 180-degree turn. They just glanced at our products and showed disdain. Some even whispered things like "poor quality" and "backward technology".

I immediately understood something in my mind. It seems that Wang Cuifen has bribed the jury and wants to use this opportunity to suppress us!

I suppressed my anger, walked up to the head of the jury, and tried to explain to him: "Leader, our product..."

"No need to say more!" The person in charge interrupted me impatiently, "We have already checked it. Your quality is not good enough and does not meet our selection criteria!"

I was stunned for a moment. Before I could react, the person in charge took the jury away, leaving behind only a cold back.

I clenched my fists tightly, with a raging rage burning in my heart, but I had no way to vent it. Could it be that we were just going to let others do whatever they wanted?

At this moment, a big warm hand held my hand, and Bai Hanchuan's steady voice rang in my ears: "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

I looked up and saw Bai Hanchuan's determined eyes, and I felt a little relieved. I believe he will find a way...

Bai Hanchuan frowned tightly, his face was terribly gloomy. I knew he was angry and worried about this matter.

"Don't worry, I will find evidence." Bai Hanchuan patted my shoulder and said in a firm tone.

He began to ask around, trying to find evidence that Wang Cuifen had bribed the jury. However, Wang Cuifen was clearly well prepared and did everything perfectly, so we could hardly find any clues.

"This group of people is so despicable! They are simply bullying people blatantly!" Uncle Li stamped his feet angrily, "No, we can't just sit there and wait to die!"

"Uncle Li, do you have any good ideas?" I asked anxiously. Now I can only put my hope on the experienced Uncle Li.

Uncle Li pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The quality of our products is good, which is obvious to all. Those who have bought our products are living examples!"

My eyes lit up. Yes, word of mouth from customers is the most authentic proof!

"We can go find those customers and ask them to testify for us!" I said excitedly.

However, Mr. Li shook his head, his tone heavy: "That being said, it is not easy to find enough people to testify. Moreover, time is running out..."

Uncle Li's words extinguished my hope like cold water, and my heart sank again. Are we really going to watch Wang Cuifen's conspiracy succeed?

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in my sight. My heart was suddenly shocked and an ominous premonition came to my mind.

"Lao Li, why are you still here?" The man who came was the manager of the state-owned store who had ridiculed us before. He asked with a fake smile, "I thought you had packed up and left long ago!"

Uncle Li's face changed, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but I stopped him. I took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in my heart, and asked coldly: "Why should we get out?"

"Why?" The manager of the state-owned store shouted exaggeratedly, as if he had heard some great joke. "You still want to sell this product? Don't dream! I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a document from his pocket and waved it in front of me triumphantly: "Did you see it? This is the final evaluation result of the jury! Your product has been rated as unqualified! Now, the entire trade fair knows that you are a liar. Who will buy your products?"

My heart suddenly sank, as if I had been hit hard by a punch, and my vision went dark. I subconsciously grabbed Bai Hanchuan's arm and managed to stabilize myself.

As soon as the manager of the state-owned store finished speaking, the crowd around him suddenly became like a boiling pot, talking about it. I saw that the customers who were originally interested in our products showed doubts and disgust, and turned away one after another.

"How could this happen..." I muttered to myself, everything in front of me became blurry, and only a buzzing noise was left in my ears.

"Jinli, don't be afraid, I'm here..." Bai Hanchuan held my hand tightly, his voice low and firm.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Boss Mu, something bad has happened..." A young man ran towards us in a panic, his face pale and his forehead covered with sweat, "Something happened..."

The young man said breathlessly: "Those...those merchants who originally agreed to sign contracts with us...they...they all went back on their word!"

My heart seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss, and it felt cold. The words of the state-owned store manager spread like a plague, destroying all our previous efforts in a short period of time.

I helplessly let go of Bai Hanchuan's hand, turned around mechanically, and looked at our booth. The lively scene that was once crowded with people had disappeared, replaced by a chilling coldness. Those merchants who were originally interested in our products now avoided us as if we were the plague god.

"How could this happen... How could this happen..." I murmured to myself. Everything before my eyes became so unreal, as if it were a nightmare.

"Jinli, don't lose heart, we still have a chance!" Bai Hanchuan hugged my shoulders tightly, trying to give me strength.

I looked up and saw Bai Hanchuan's determined eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart. Yes, I can't just give up like this, I still have Bai Hanchuan, Uncle Li, and all the people who support us, we can't let them down!

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my flustered emotions. The most important thing now was to figure out why the jury gave such a result.

I snatched the document from the manager of the state-owned store and looked at it carefully. It clearly stated that our products were found to contain excessive amounts of harmful substances and did not meet national safety standards, so they were rated as unqualified products.

"This is impossible!" I cried out. This is simply nonsense! Our products have been strictly tested and there is absolutely no way such a problem would occur!

"How is it impossible? This is the final evaluation result of the jury, written in black and white, how can it be false?" The manager of the state-owned store sneered, his tone full of gloating.

I tightly grasped the documents in my hand, my heart filled with anger and resentment. This was all too bizarre. What on earth did Wang Cuifen do to manipulate the jury to come up with such a result?

Just when I was in despair, a bold idea suddenly flashed through my mind.

This idea was like a spark that instantly ignited the last hope in my heart. However, I knew that this method was very risky. If it failed, we would completely lose the chance to turn things around.

I bit my lips tightly, struggling fiercely in my heart. As time passed, I felt my palms were full of sweat.

"Jinli, what's wrong with you?" Bai Hanchuan noticed that something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

I raised my head, looked at him firmly, took a deep breath, and said, "Bai Hanchuan, I..."

I paused, looking around at the suspicious and mocking eyes around me, and suddenly made up my mind, "I have a way that may be able to reverse the current situation..."

I let go of Bai Hanchuan's hand, turned around, and took out a file bag from behind the booth.

"What are you going to do?" Uncle Li asked puzzledly.

I didn't answer, but held the document bag tightly in my hand and walked towards the main stage of the trade fair step by step...
