Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

Hanchuan's face was even gloomier than the weather outside. The laboratory's surveillance had been tampered with, which was no small matter.

I walked up to him and held his cold hand: "It seems that we are really being targeted."

He held my hand with such force that it seemed as if he was going to crush my bones. "I suspect it was Boss Zhang." His tone was cold, with a hint of gnashing teeth.

Boss Zhang, our biggest competitor, has been eyeing us covetously in order to seize the market.

During this period, the strange faces that appeared around the base and the equipment that was inexplicably damaged, all signs pointed to him.

However, we have no evidence.

"We have to investigate secretly." I said in a deep voice.

Over the next few days, there were more and more snoopers around the base, and even some equipment began to malfunction.

People were in panic and many employees chose to resign.

Hanchuan and I tried our best to keep them, but many people still left.

Looking at the empty workstation, my heart sank to the bottom. The difficulty of starting a business is much more difficult than I imagined.

That evening, I was getting ready to get off work when I suddenly saw a furtive figure coming out of the warehouse.

The man was short and fat, holding a toolbox in his hand. He was the one who had been sneaking around the base a few days ago.

I immediately realized that he must have been sent by Boss Zhang.

"Hanchuan!" I shouted in a low voice, motioning him to follow me.

We quietly followed the short and fat man and watched him walk to a remote place, take out some parts from the tool box, and start dismantling the irrigation equipment at the base.

I took out my camera and captured this scene.

"That's enough." I said coldly, with a hint of chill in my tone.

The short and fat man was startled and turned around abruptly. When he saw us, his face turned pale instantly...

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" he shouted in a timid voice, still holding the parts tightly in his hands.

"Boss Zhang sent you here, right?" Hanchuan said in a cold tone, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

The short and fat man's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Hanchuan. "I don't know what you are talking about!" he said stubbornly.

I took out my camera and showed him the photos I had just taken. "The evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to deny it?"

After seeing the photo, the short and fat man was completely panicked. He knew he was finished.

He collapsed on the ground and explained the whole process of how Boss Zhang instructed him to destroy the equipment at the base.

With this confession, we immediately contacted Officer Li.

Officer Li was very efficient. He quickly led people to the scene and arrested the short and fat man on the spot. Based on his confession, he found other evidence of Boss Zhang's crimes.

Boss Zhang's conspiracy was completely exposed, his company's image plummeted, partners terminated their contracts one after another, and the stock price plummeted.

Boss Zhang, who was once so arrogant, has now become a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat.

When the news reached the bank, the president, who had originally been cautious about lending to our base, immediately changed his mind.

He came to the base in person and expressed his willingness to relax loan conditions and fully support our development.

"Ms. Mu, Mr. Bai, I believe that your base will be able to overcome the current difficulties and achieve greater success." The president said, shaking my hand enthusiastically.

This is undoubtedly a huge turning point, and the base finally saw the light of day. I looked at Hanchuan, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

But just when we thought everything was getting better, Hanchuan received a phone call and his face instantly became solemn.

"What did you say? There's something wrong with our seeds?" He said in a low voice with a hint of disbelief.

My heart skipped a beat, and I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen...

Hanchuan hung up the phone, his face livid. My heart sank, and I held his hand: "What's wrong?"

"Boss Zhang is spreading rumors, saying that there is something wrong with our seeds." His voice was low, with suppressed anger.

I took a deep breath. This was really like adding insult to injury.

Having finally solved the funding problem, a new challenge now arises.

"He wants to destroy us completely."

Han Chuan's eyes were firm: "He won't succeed! We will hold a press conference and respond positively!"

The press conference was crowded with reporters.

I stood on the stage, took a deep breath, and began to talk about the development history of our base and the strict process of seed cultivation.

I took out the seed samples grown in the space system and showed them to everyone. They were plump, healthy and full of vitality.

"These seeds are all carefully cultivated by us, and there is absolutely no problem with their quality!" I said in a firm and resounding tone.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the back of the venue. Several men shouted loudly: "Swindlers! There is something wrong with your seeds! We have all been deceived!"

I immediately recognized one of them as a close confidant of Boss Zhang. Hanchuan was well prepared, and the security guards he arranged immediately stepped forward and controlled the troublemaker.

I continued my speech, using detailed data and evidence to refute Boss Zhang's rumors one by one.

I showed the cooperation certificate between the base and the authoritative agency, as well as the seed testing report, which proved that our seeds not only had no problems but were also of excellent quality.

After my speech, there was warm applause from the audience. Reporters came up one after another, vying for interviews. I responded calmly and answered their questions one by one.

After the press conference, Hanchuan came over and held my hand: "You did a great job."

I smiled and said, "Let's face it together."

Returning to the base, I looked at the setting sun outside the window, feeling mixed emotions.

I know that although this battle has been won, the war is far from over... Hanchuan walked over to me and gently put his arm around my shoulders.

I turned to look at him, there was a firm light in his eyes: "Don't worry, we'll face it together." He exerted a little force on his hands, and I felt a warm power coming from him... "Tomorrow..." he started in a low voice.

"Let's go to the city tomorrow," Hanchuan's voice interrupted my thoughts, "to report the situation to the Agricultural Bureau and take a look at the new support policies." I nodded and leaned tiredly in his arms.

"Okay." Although we managed to neutralize Boss Zhang's attack this time, he certainly won't give up.

This time they are spreading rumors, and who knows what means they will use next time.

Hanchuan seemed to see my worry and stroked my hair gently: "Don't think too much. We have been through so much, what else can defeat us?" His words gave me great comfort.

Yes, from having nothing to owning this thriving planting base today, we have experienced too many ups and downs and overcome too many difficulties.

Boss Zhang, you are just a small stumbling block on our road ahead.

The next morning, we drove to the city.

The reporting work went smoothly. The leaders of the Agricultural Bureau highly praised our work and promised to increase support for our base.

After leaving the Agricultural Bureau, I felt a lot more relaxed.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Hanchuan asked me with a smile on his lips.

I tilted my head and thought for a while: "I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, let's make dumplings?" "Okay," he smiled and ruffled my hair, "I'll make them when we get home." Back at the base, everything seemed to have returned to its former calm.

The workers were busy in the fields with smiles on their faces.

Looking at this vibrant scene, my heart is filled with hope.

However, this peace did not last long.

In the evening, Officer Li suddenly called me and sounded anxious: "Ms. Mu, something happened! Please take a look at today's evening paper!" My heart sank and a bad premonition came over me.

Hanchuan took the phone and turned on the speakerphone.

On the other end of the phone, Officer Li's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief: "There was a report in the evening paper... in the evening paper, saying... saying that your base..." He paused, as if he found it difficult to speak, "saying that your base used banned pesticides, and the products seriously exceeded the standards..." I stood up suddenly and snatched the newspaper.

The huge title suddenly caught my eye, shocking.

Hanchuan's face also turned gloomy in an instant.

He grabbed his coat and said, "Let's go to the newspaper office!" I grabbed him and said, "Wait! This is too strange. There must be someone behind it..." My eyes swept out the window and fell on a sneaky figure in the distance...
