Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

The lights of the car cut through the night, casting long shadows on the rugged mountain road. Bai Hanchuan protected me behind him, and he was obviously relieved until he saw who was coming.

"It's Lin Xiao." He whispered.

I walked out from behind the tree, and Lin Xiao ran over to me in a hurry, looking anxious: "How are things? The children..."

"Don't worry, everything is going well." I held her cold hand and pulled her into the car. "Let's talk about it when we get back."

When we got back to the planting base, the children had already gone to bed. Bai Hanchuan went to check on the children, while Lin Xiao and I walked aside and whispered about what we had seen and heard tonight.

"Those people...it seems our previous guess was correct." Lin Xiao said in a serious tone.

I nodded. Bai Hanchuan suspected that those people were related to the people who framed him before. It seems that this incident is not accidental. Our current situation can be described as being attacked from all sides. If we are not careful, we will lose everything.

"Don't worry, we still have him." I looked not far away and saw Bai Hanchuan gently tucking in the quilts for the children.

Lin Xiao followed my gaze and said softly, "Yes, there is him, and there are us."

The next morning, we gathered in the small conference room at the base. In addition to Lin Xiao, Bai Hanchuan, and me, there was also a mysterious ally - a gardening master who had retired for many years. He was highly respected in the industry and had many students all over the world.

"I've heard about it." The old man put down his teacup and said in a steady and powerful tone, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

With the support of the old man, our confidence was doubled. We formulated a detailed counterattack plan and decided to use the power of public opinion to expose the conspiracy of the opponent.

The children also volunteered to publicly expose the evil deeds of their opponents in the school speech contest. Looking at their young but determined faces, I was moved and pleased.

As the date of the decisive battle drew closer, the atmosphere in the base became tense. I gathered all the employees and told them the whole story.

"I know this battle will be very difficult." I looked at the familiar faces and said firmly, "But I believe that good will prevail over evil! For our common ideals and for the home we have worked so hard to build, we must unite and fight to the end!"

Bai Hanchuan stood beside me. He patted my shoulder, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Jinli is right! We are a family, we must protect our home together!"

The faces of the employees were filled with worry, but more of it was determination. They had all been with me and Bai Hanchuan all the way, and had experienced the base from scratch, and had also gone through countless ups and downs. This relationship had long surpassed an ordinary employment relationship and was more like a family.

"Manager Mu, don't worry, we are not afraid!" A young man stood up. He was one of the first employees to work with us. He watched the base grow little by little and had deep feelings for this place.

"Yes, we are not afraid! At worst we can fight them!" Others also echoed.

I looked around at everyone, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. I clenched my fists and raised my voice: "Okay! Since no one is afraid, let's fight them to the end! I believe that good will prevail over evil, and we will definitely win!"

"We will definitely win!" everyone shouted in unison, the sound was deafening.

Lin Xiao stood beside me, her eyes moist. She patted my shoulder and whispered, "Jinli, don't worry, I've made all the preparations."

Lin Xiao is the technical backbone of our base. She used her professional knowledge to strengthen the base's security system and installed monitoring equipment in key locations to monitor the situation around the base 24 hours a day.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lin Xiao." I looked at her gratefully. "I feel relieved when you are here."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "We are good sisters, so why bother talking about whether it is hard or not."

In the following days, the base was filled with a tense atmosphere. Everyone was preparing for the upcoming decisive battle. Bai Hanchuan was responsible for contacting various forces and gaining more support; I led the employees to work overtime to rush the production and improve the quality of the products, hoping to gain an advantage in this decisive battle.

On the eve of the final battle, I received a strange phone call... The voice on the other end of the phone was old but strong and powerful, with a reassuring power. "Mu girl, I was introduced by Lao Liu. I heard that you were in trouble."

Lao Liu is a gardening master who lives in the countryside after retirement and devotes himself to studying flowers. He is also a friend of mine who I met by chance. He is upright, hates evil, and is highly respected in the industry. I didn't expect him to contact me at this time.

"Old sir, you know..." I was interrupted by him before I could finish.

"I know, I know everything." The old man's voice was filled with indignation. "Over the years, the flower trading company has relied on its position in the industry to suppress its peers and dominate the market, which has long aroused public outrage! This time I contacted some old friends, and we decided to unite and fight against them together!"

The old man's words warmed my heart. It turns out that there is still justice in this world, and there are still people willing to stand up and fight against evil.

"Thank you, old man, and thank you everyone!" My voice was a little choked.

"You're welcome, kid. We are all fighting for fairness and justice in the industry." The old man's voice was full of power. "You have to hold on. We will definitely support you!"

With the support of the old man and his friends, our confidence became stronger. Bai Hanchuan also came back from outside with more good news. He contacted some companies that had been suppressed by the flower trading company, and everyone decided to unite and fight against this industry giant.

We decided to formally declare war on the flower trading company at the industry summit. On the day of the summit, Bai Hanchuan and I walked onto the stage hand in hand. Facing the huge crowd below the stage, my palms were slightly sweaty, but my eyes were extremely firm.

"Hello, colleagues!" Bai Hanchuan's voice was loud and powerful. "Today, we stand here for fairness and justice in the industry! For the common interests of all of us flower people!"

"Over the years, flower trading companies have relied on their monopoly position to suppress their peers and manipulate prices, which has seriously damaged the healthy development of the industry!" I said in a resounding voice, "They have not only damaged our interests, but also the interests of consumers! Today, we are going to declare war on them. We want to fight for fairness and justice in the industry!"

As soon as I finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out from the audience. I know that we are not fighting alone, and there are countless people supporting us behind us.

After the summit, we returned to the planting base. As night fell, Bai Hanchuan and I stood in the square of the base, looking into the distance. I knew that a decisive battle was coming, but we were fully prepared, and no matter what the outcome, we would not be afraid.

"Bai Hanchuan..." I turned to look at him. Under the moonlight, his face was angular and his eyes were firm and deep.

"Bai Hanchuan..." I called him softly. The night wind blew by, bringing a cool scent of flowers and brushing across his resolute face. Under the moonlight, his eyes were firm and deep, as if they contained infinite power, which made me feel inexplicably at ease.

He turned his head, looked at me with deep eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel..." I paused, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to start. Should I lament the twists and turns of fate? Or the hardships we have gone through? Perhaps, I just want to express the peace and determination in my heart at this moment.

"I just feel that we have finally reached this point." He said it for me, with a hint of emotion in his tone, but more of a determination to move forward.

Yes, from being weak and helpless at the beginning to being united today, we have experienced so much. Those storms and hardships have not only failed to defeat us, but have made us stronger and more united.

"Bai Hanchuan, do you think we will win?" I asked, with a hint of uncertainty in my tone, but deep down my heart was full of hope.

He firmly held my hand, interlocking our fingers, as if to pass all his strength to me: "Yes, we will definitely win! Because we are righteous, and we represent the future of the industry!"

His words were sonorous and powerful, full of confidence and strength, and they also ignited the raging fire in my heart. Yes, we are righteous, and we have countless peers and consumers who support us. We have no reason to fail!

As the night deepened and a cool breeze blew, we stood there quietly. No one spoke, but the tacit understanding and trust between us flowed in silence.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance broke the silence of the night.

"Boss, boss lady, something bad has happened..." Lin Xiao ran over breathlessly, looking panicked, and hesitant to speak.

Bai Hanchuan and I looked at each other, and a bad feeling arose in our hearts.

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly." Bai Hanchuan asked in a deep voice, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"The Flower Association...the Flower Association..." Lin Xiao was out of breath and spoke intermittently.

"What happened to the Flower Association?" My heart tightened and a bad premonition came to my mind.

"They...they released a statement overnight..." Lin Xiao took a deep breath and finally said, "They want...to ban us completely!"

Just as he finished speaking, a gust of night wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness and blowing away the tranquility of the night.

I felt Bai Hanchuan's hands clench suddenly, veins bulging, showing his inner unrest at the moment.

"It seems that the clarion call for the decisive battle has already sounded..." He whispered, with a hint of coldness in his tone, but more of a determination to face death.
