Rebirth 70: I am a Koi
Chapter 311 Expert Investigation
Secretary Chen's voice was as soft as a mosquito, but I could hear it clearly: "Boss Bai, just now, the secretary of opponent Li called and said... said that expert Zhang has accepted their invitation and went to their base for inspection."
My heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran from my feet to my head. Li! It's him again! He's clearly trying to force us into a dead end!
Bai Hanchuan's face was also terribly gloomy, he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white. The atmosphere in the office was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.
"I understand." His voice was low and no emotion could be heard.
I forced myself to calm down. Now was not the time to panic.
"We still have a chance. Expert Zhang just visited their base for inspection, which does not mean he approves their products."
It seemed as if I was speaking to myself, but also to Bai Hanchuan and Secretary Chen.
But, we all know that hope is slim.
In the following days, the atmosphere in the base became even more depressing.
Due to the influence of public opinion, the base's sales volume dropped sharply, many employees began to worry about their jobs, and morale was low.
I went around encouraging employees and telling them to believe in the base and our products. However, my words seemed pale and powerless, with little effect.
Looking at the anxious expressions on the employees' faces, my heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I almost suffocated.
In the evening, I dragged my tired body back to the office. Bai Hanchuan was sitting in front of the computer with a frown on his face.
He looked up at me, his eyes full of fatigue and worry. "Jinli..."
He seemed to be hesitating to speak, so I walked over to him and gently held his hand.
"what happened?"
"Mr. Liu called just now..."
"Mr. Liu said that he contacted some old customers..." Bai Hanchuan's voice was a little hoarse, "They are willing to continue to support us."
I was stunned for a moment, and a warm feeling came over me. In such a difficult situation, there are still people willing to lend a helping hand, which is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
"Mr. Liu really helped us a lot." My voice was a little choked and my eyes were a little wet.
Bai Hanchuan held my hand tightly and gave me an encouraging look. "Yes, this gives us a chance to breathe."
Before I could fully recover, Secretary Chen rushed in again with a hint of joy on his face.
"Boss Bai, Boss Mu, good news! Expert Zhang has responded!"
My heartbeat quickened. "What did he say?"
"He agreed to come to our base for an inspection!" Secretary Chen said excitedly, "But...but his requirements are very strict. We must follow his procedures completely."
I took a deep breath. This was both an opportunity and a challenge.
"I understand. Notify all departments to hold a meeting immediately. We must go all out and make preparations to welcome Expert Zhang."
Bai Hanchuan also stood up, his eyes gleaming with determination. "This is our last chance, we must seize it!"
In the conference room, I conveyed expert Zhang's request to everyone in detail. The atmosphere was tense and serious, and everyone understood the importance of this inspection.
"In the demonstration phase, I think we should use 3D projection technology to more intuitively show the advantages of our products." The young technician Xiao Wang put forward his own idea.
Lao Li, an old technician at the base, frowned.
"3D projection? This technology is not mature yet. What if something goes wrong? I think it's safer to use traditional PPT presentations."
Xiao Wang was a little unconvinced: "Lao Li, what era is it now? Why are you still using PPT? It's too backward! Expert Zhang is a top figure in the industry, he must appreciate new technologies more..."
The two people's voices were getting louder and louder, and they were about to start a quarrel. I slammed the table... "Stop arguing!" I said harshly, and the meeting room fell silent in an instant.
"What time is it now? Do you still have the heart to quarrel? Have you forgotten how your opponent Li plotted against us?" I looked around and softened my tone. "Old Li, Xiao Wang, I understand your thoughts. Old Li's concerns are not unreasonable. New technologies do have risks. Xiao Wang's ideas are also very good. Only innovation can lead to progress. So, let's combine them and prepare the PPT and Xiao Wang's 3D projection, just in case."
Lao Li and Xiao Wang looked at each other and nodded. I breathed a sigh of relief, finally solving this problem.
The meeting lasted until late at night, and everyone was on edge, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Bai Hanchuan has been silently assisting me and handling various trivial matters.
He seemed to notice my tiredness, so he went out for a while and came back with a bowl of steaming chicken soup in his hand.
"Drink some soup to warm yourself up." He put the soup in front of me with a gentle tone.
I took the bowl of soup and a warm feeling surged in my heart.
The aroma of chicken soup filled the air, dispelling the tense atmosphere in the meeting room.
I looked up at him and found that his eyes were bloodshot and there was a layer of blue stubble on his chin.
My heart trembled slightly. He knew that I had a poor appetite recently, so he specially made chicken soup for me, but he was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.
"You drink some too." I pushed the bowl of soup in front of him.
He smiled and said, "I'm not hungry, you drink it." After that, he continued to work.
Watching him busy, my heart was filled with emotion and strength. For the base, for our future, we are all doing our best.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Expert Zhang to arrive tomorrow.
It was late at night and the base was quiet, with only the chirping of insects in the distance.
I stood by the window, looking at the dark night sky, feeling a little uneasy.
Bai Hanchuan walked up to me and gently held my hand.
"Don't worry," he whispered, "we did all we could."
I nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm myself down.
Suddenly, a rapid phone call broke the tranquility of the night... Bai Hanchuan's face changed and he immediately picked up the phone.
"What?!" The voice on the other end of the phone was crying and intermittent. I could barely hear that it was Aunt Wang who was in charge of the greenhouse.
"Manager Mu...Manager Mu, something bad has happened! The greenhouse...the greenhouse..." My heart sank. "What's wrong with the greenhouse? Aunt Wang, please tell me slowly!" "The tomatoes...the tomatoes are...all wilted!"
My eyes went dark and I almost fell down. Bai Hanchuan held me up.
"What's going on?" He asked in a hurried tone, his face livid.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down, "I'll go check it out."
We drove to the greenhouse and the sight before me took my breath away.
The tomato seedlings, which should have been full of vitality, now looked like frost-bitten eggplants, drooping and lifeless.
I walked quickly to a tomato plant and examined it carefully.
The leaves wilt and the roots dry out, as if due to lack of water.
But, I clearly arranged a regular watering schedule, how could this happen?
"Mr. Liu, come and take a look!" I quickly invited Mr. Liu, who had the most experience in the base, to come over.
Mr. Liu examined it carefully and frowned.
"It's strange, it seems like a man-made water shortage, but there is nothing wrong with the watering system."
My heart sank. Could it be that someone had deliberately sabotaged it?
Expert Zhang will come to inspect today. If he sees this scene, the consequences will be disastrous.
I forced myself to calm down and ordered everyone to rescue the tomato seedlings immediately. At the same time, I arranged for someone to check the watering system to find out the cause.
When Expert Zhang arrived, we had tried our best to save the situation, but there was still a sense of dejection in the greenhouse.
I tried to keep smiling and introduced our planting techniques and results to Expert Zhang.
Expert Zhang listened to my explanation while carefully observing the situation in the greenhouse.
He sometimes nodded and sometimes frowned, which made me feel very nervous.
Just as I was demonstrating the newly developed 3D projection technology, a reporter suddenly squeezed to the front and took a lot of photos of the wilted tomato seedlings.
"Manager Mu, what's going on with these tomatoes? Is there a problem with your planting technique?" My face changed and I was about to explain when Bai Hanchuan stood in front of me.
"Reporter, we are investigating the cause and will give you an explanation later."
I noticed that the reporter's name tag read "Zhao Qiang", from an unknown tabloid.
I vaguely feel that this matter is not that simple.
After the visit, Expert Zhang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Manager Mu, do a good job." I couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry in his tone, and my heart was in my throat.
After sending Expert Zhang away, I immediately found Bai Hanchuan and said, "I suspect..."
