Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

The afterglow of the sunset fell on the flower fields, giving each flower a golden edge, which was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated. However, I had no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery. The secretary's phone call was like a huge rock, slamming into the calm lake of my heart, stirring up thousands of waves.

Orders from internationally renowned hotels? Customized floral decoration services? This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for our base, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Don't worry, let's figure out the situation first." Bai Hanchuan gently held my hand. His eyes were as firm as ever, which gave me great strength.

We immediately rushed back to the office, where the secretary had already sorted out the detailed requirements sent by the hotel. This is a hotel known for its luxury and art, and the requirements for flower decoration are extremely high. It must not only reflect the style of the hotel, but also integrate the local cultural characteristics, and be unique and creative to make people shine.

"This is such a huge challenge!" I put down the documents, frowning.

"Challenges and opportunities coexist." Bai Hanchuan analyzed calmly, "Our base has a complete range of flower varieties and strong technical force, and is fully capable of undertaking this project."

"You're right, we can't miss this opportunity!" I took a deep breath, and my fighting spirit was rekindled. "We need to organize a team, conduct in-depth research on the hotel's style and needs, and develop a perfect floral decoration plan!"

In the next few days, Bai Hanchuan and I led the core members of the base to work day and night on the design of the plan. We consulted a lot of information, learned the design concept of the hotel, analyzed the preferences of the target customer group, and even went to the local area to experience the unique cultural atmosphere.

After several revisions, the plan was finally finalized. Looking at the final renderings, I was full of confidence. This will be a feast of flowers and an important step for our base to move towards internationalization.

I picked up the phone and was about to call my secretary to arrange the next step when suddenly the office door was pushed open...

"Mom, is there anything we can do to help?" The two smart kids in our family, our oldest son Bai Yang and our daughter Bai Xing, pushed the door open. Their eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.

Seeing the children eager to try, I smiled and said, "Of course, you can help mom think about how to use flowers to decorate the hotel and make it more beautiful!"

"Yeah!" The two kids cheered and immediately joined our discussion. Bo Yang has loved reading since he was a child and knows all kinds of culture and history. He suggested using the language of flowers to express the cultural connotation of the hotel, such as using peonies, which symbolize nobility, to decorate the lobby and orchids, which represent auspiciousness, to decorate the guest rooms.

Bai Xing inherited my artistic talent and has a keen sense of color and shape. She suggested using flowers of different colors to create different atmospheres, such as using warm red to create a festive atmosphere and using tranquil blue to create a romantic mood.

The children's wild ideas added a lot of highlights to our plan. Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other, feeling very happy. The children are growing up day by day. They are not only our pride, but also our most capable assistants in our business.

After the project was officially launched, the entire base entered a tense and orderly working state. As my right-hand man, Lin Xiao took on the important tasks of flower cultivation and on-site layout. However, halfway through the project, Lin Xiao encountered a problem.

"Jinli, something bad has happened. The color of the blue roses we cultivated can never meet the hotel's requirements!" Lin Xiao hurried to the office with an anxious look on his face.

"Don't be anxious, tell me slowly what happened." I calmed Lin Xiao down and asked about the situation carefully.

It turned out that in order to create a dreamy effect, the hotel specifically requested the use of an extremely rare blue rose. This kind of rose has extremely high requirements for the growth environment and cultivation technology. Although we have done a lot of experiments before, we have never been able to cultivate a color that meets the requirements.

"I understand. Don't worry. I'll think of a solution." I frowned and thought quickly about the solution in my mind.

Time is running out, and we must find a solution as soon as possible. I called together the technical backbones of the base to analyze the problem and find a breakthrough. After several days of hard work, we finally found the problem and adjusted the cultivation plan. Hard work pays off. With the joint efforts of everyone, we finally cultivated blue roses that meet the requirements.

Looking at the gorgeous blue roses, we all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief on our faces. However, at this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number...

A low and unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Boss Mu? My last name is Zhang, and I've heard of your name for a long time. I heard that you are cultivating a special blue rose..."

I was startled. Could it be someone in the same industry? But I had never heard of this Mr. Zhang. "Hello, Mr. Zhang, may I ask who you are?"

"Haha, don't be so reserved. I'm just a retired gardening enthusiast." The other party's tone was kind, but with a hint of mystery. "I happen to be cultivating some precious flowers here, maybe I can help you."

Although I was skeptical, I still politely invited him to visit the base. The next day, Mr. Zhang arrived as scheduled. To my surprise, the variety of flowers he brought was amazing.

"These are all my hard work over the years. Now that I am old, I just want to give them to someone who really understands flowers." Mr. Zhang pointed to one of the vines with lavender flowers and said, "This is a wisteria rose. The flower language is 'persistence in you, the happiest moment'. It is perfect to decorate the archway of the hotel."

I was deeply moved by his words. These flowers are not just plants, but works that he has poured countless efforts and emotions into. I solemnly promised him that I would cherish these flowers and let them bloom in the most beautiful posture.

With the help of Mr. Zhang, the hotel's decoration effect has been taken to a higher level. Lin Xiao said excitedly: "Jinli, you are so amazing that you can even find such a precious flower!"

I smiled, but my heart was filled with gratitude. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's generous help, it would have been difficult for us to complete this project.

In the following days, the entire base was like a high-speed machine, with everyone doing their part and working towards a common goal. I left early and came back late every day, moving flowers and arranging venues with the employees, and was often so busy that I didn't even have time to eat.

Bai Hanchuan also joined our team. Although he was not good at speaking, he was very decisive and solved many problems for us. I was moved when I saw him and his employees moving flower pots together, sweat soaking his clothes.

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, we completed the hotel's flower decoration task on time. On the opening day, the hotel lobby was decorated beautifully, with colorful flowers competing for splendor, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.

The client was full of praise for our work. The hotel manager shook my hand and said excitedly: "Boss Mu, thank you so much! Your decoration effect is simply amazing and exceeded our expectations!"

At that moment, all the hard work and efforts turned into joy. I looked at Bai Hanchuan who was also pleased, and said to him softly: "We..."

"We succeeded." I said softly, my tone filled with unconcealable joy and pride.

Bai Hanchuan's eyebrows were also filled with smiles. He gently put his arm around my shoulders and spoke in a deep voice in my ears: "We will always succeed."

The hotel lobby was bustling with people, well-dressed people, and laughter, filled with joy and excitement. Bo Hanchuan and I stood quietly in a corner, looking at the room full of flowers, looking at the flower kingdom we created with our own hands, and felt a sense of accomplishment.

The children walked among the crowd, excitedly introducing the names and language of various flowers to the guests, with innocent smiles on their faces, as if these flowers also carried their dreams and hopes.

"Jinli, congratulations." Lin Xiao came over with two glasses of champagne and handed me one of them. "You don't know, the whole hotel is praising your beautiful flowers!"

I took the glass with a smile and clinked it with hers: "Thanks to your help, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"We are good sisters, so why bother talking about hard work?" Lin Xiao smiled and shook her head. She looked across the lobby and said with emotion, "I never thought that the small planting base has developed so well now."

Yes, that small planting base has now become a well-known flower supplier. We not only provide flower decoration services for major hotels and shopping malls, but also open our own flower shop to sell various rare flowers and potted plants.

All of this is inseparable from the efforts of Bai Hanchuan and me, the support of all employees, and those who have silently helped us, such as the mysterious Mr. Zhang.

"Mom, Dad, look!" At this time, the children's voices brought my thoughts back. I saw that they were holding an exquisite card with a few large gold-plated words printed on it: Invitation to the International Flower Exhibition.

"What is this?" I took the card and asked puzzledly.

The children rushed to explain: "The hotel manager gave it to us. He said our flower decorations were amazing, so he recommended us to participate in the International Flower Exhibition!"

International Flower Exhibition? I was shocked. It is a grand event for the global flower industry. Being able to participate in this exhibition means that our planting base will be exposed to the world!

"How about it, consider it?" Bai Hanchuan's voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of encouragement and expectation in his tone.

I took a deep breath, looked at the gold-plated invitation in my hand, and an unprecedented sense of ambition surged in my heart.

"Of course I will participate!" I said firmly, "This is an important step for our planting base to go international!"

As soon as I finished speaking, my phone rang. I took out my phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Mu?" A fluent English voice came from the other end of the line, "We are..."

My heart skipped a beat and a premonition came over me. I subconsciously clenched my phone and motioned for the children to be quiet.

"Excuse me, are you ..."
