Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

"Mr. Liu?!" Bai Hanchuan and I exclaimed in unison, surprised that this legendary gardening master would appear in front of us.

Mr. Liu walked up to us with a smile and patted Bai Hanchuan on the shoulder: "Xiao Bai, you recommended a good place to me! The flowers in this base are all growing vigorously. You can tell that they were carefully planted."

Bai Hanchuan smiled modestly: "Mr. Liu, you are too kind. This is all thanks to Jinli. She is the person in charge of the base."

Mr. Liu turned to look at me, his eyes full of admiration: "Little girl, you are great! You have such courage and ability at such a young age. Your future is limitless!"

I smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Liu, you can just call me Jinli. It's our honor that you like the flowers in our base."

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "Just call me Old Liu. We can call each other by our own names." He paused and continued, "This time I came here, in addition to wanting to see your new products, I also want to discuss something with you."

I was startled and vaguely guessed what he was going to say: "Lao Liu, please go ahead."

"It's like this. I see that your base has developed well, but it's still a little small. Many advanced technologies and equipment have not been used yet..."

I took a deep breath. Lao Liu was right. Expanding the scale and introducing advanced technology and equipment have always been our next goal. However, this requires a large amount of funds, and our current funds are far from enough.

As if seeing my concerns, Lao Liu smiled slightly, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to me: "Here are some of my old friends, they are all leaders in this industry, maybe they can help you."

I took the business card with both hands and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Lao Liu!"

Old Liu patted the back of my hand and said earnestly, "Jinli, I believe you will succeed! When the time comes, don't forget to treat an old man like me to a celebratory drink!"

I smiled and nodded in agreement, watching Lao Liu and his grandson leave.

"Jinli..." Bai Hanchuan held my hand, his eyes full of expectation and determination.

I turned to look at him, holding the business card tightly in my hand.

New challenges are coming, and we are ready.

"Lin Xiao, you say..."

"Lin Xiao, do you think the people Lao Liu introduced can really help us?" I turned to ask Lin Xiao, with a hint of worry in my tone. Since the planting base got on track, Lin Xiao has become my capable assistant, and her lively and cheerful personality has also brought me a lot of joy.

"Don't worry, Sister Jinli! Don't you still believe in Mr. Liu's vision? He is a leader in the industry. Anyone who is favored by him must be very capable!" Lin Xiao said confidently, "Besides, the quality of the flowers in our base is so good and the management is standardized. We are not afraid that they will not invest!"

Her words made me feel relieved. Yes, we have everything ready, and we just need the right time. I held the business card tightly in my hand and made up my mind to seize this opportunity to take the planting base to a higher level!

In the following days, we began to actively contact the people introduced by Lao Liu. As Lao Liu said, they are all experts in various fields, some are technical experts, some are investment experts, and some are marketing wizards. With their help, the planting base introduced advanced planting technology and management experience, and also obtained sufficient financial support.

Lin Xiao's professional knowledge also came in handy at this time. She graduated from an agricultural university and was familiar with the habits of various flowers. Based on the actual situation of the base, she put forward a series of suggestions for improving planting methods and organized technical training for employees, which greatly improved the yield and quality of flowers.

As the planting base grows and develops, we also begin to take on social responsibilities. We provide employment opportunities for surrounding farmers and regularly hold free technical training courses to help them master advanced planting techniques and improve their income levels.

"Jinli, look!" That day, Bai Hanchuan pointed to a green field in the distance and said, "Those are the fields of nearby villagers. Now they have started to grow flowers. The model of our base has really driven the development of the entire region!"

I followed his gaze, my heart filled with joy and pride. Looking at the simple smiling faces, I felt an unprecedented satisfaction.

"Bai Hanchuan..." I turned to look at him. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, making him look even more handsome and tall. "I..."

"I'm so glad to have been with you all these years." I looked at him with tenderness in my eyes, "Thank you, Bai Hanchuan, for always being with me."

My figure was reflected in his deep eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Silly boy, why thank you? It was because of you that I found the direction of my life."

We smiled at each other, and the setting sun made our shadows seem especially long, just like the long journey of life that we had walked hand in hand.

The thriving development of the planting base is inseparable from the efforts of everyone. On a sunny day, we held a grand celebration and invited all those who supported and helped us, including Lao Liu, Lin Xiao, the base staff, and the villagers who had been helped by us.

With colorful flags flying and flowers blooming, the entire base was filled with a festive atmosphere. I stood on the stage, looking at the familiar faces below, and my heart was filled with gratitude.

"Today, I want to thank all the people who have helped us. It is your support and encouragement that have brought us to where we are today." My voice was a little choked up, "Especially my husband, Bai Hanchuan, he..."

I turned to look at him. He was looking at me with a smile, his eyes full of love and encouragement. A warm current surged in my heart, and I continued, "He gave up his job in the city for me and came here to start a business with me. He put all his energy into the base, he..."

"Okay, Jinli, if you keep talking, I'm going to blush." ​​Bai Hanchuan walked up to the stage and interrupted me. The audience burst into good-natured laughter. He took my hand, raised it above his head, and said loudly: "Today, I want to announce to everyone that Jinli and I have decided to use part of the proceeds to set up a poverty alleviation fund to help more people in need!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out from the audience. I looked at him with emotion. This man always brings me surprises.

After the celebration, I changed into light clothes and strolled with Bai Hanchuan in the sea of ​​flowers at the planting base. The colorful flowers bloomed and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, which was refreshing.

"Jinli, look, what is that?" Bai Hanchuan suddenly asked me, pointing to an open space not far away.

I followed his gaze and saw that empty space...

I followed his gaze and saw that the empty space was filled with rows of newly cultivated flower seedlings! These seedlings were of different colors and beautiful shapes, and it was obvious that they were new varieties that had been carefully cultivated.

"This...what is this?" I covered my mouth in surprise, looking at everything in front of me in disbelief.

Bai Hanchuan smiled and took my hand, explaining, "This is a surprise I prepared for you. Do you still remember the retired old gardener? He is an expert in breeding new varieties. I specially asked him to help just to give you a surprise."

It turned out that Bai Hanchuan had been secretly planning this all along. He not only invited an old gardener, but also personally participated in the cultivation of new varieties. He knew that I had always dreamed of cultivating my own unique flowers, and he always silently supported my dream and turned it into reality.

"Bai Hanchuan, you are really..." I was so moved that I couldn't speak. I could only hold his hand tightly and let him feel my excitement at the moment.

"Do you like it?" he asked me gently.

"I like it, I like it very much!" I nodded excitedly, tears of happiness welling up in my eyes. These seedlings are not only new varieties, but also the embodiment of Bai Hanchuan's love for me.

We walked hand in hand in the sea of ​​flowers, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on us, as if covering us with a layer of golden gauze. In the distance, the cheerful laughter of children came faintly, adding a touch of vitality to this quiet sea of ​​flowers.

I stopped, turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, and said softly: "Hanchuan, you say..."
