Chapter 167 Creditors Gather at Red Star

"Since everyone has no objection, we still need a formal vote to pass this resolution. Secretary Chen, you will be responsible for recording this vote." Gu Qingyu said to everyone.

No objection, how could I have any objection!

The factory's performance was not good, and their lives as leaders were not easy either. They were either being asked to pay debts by people outside, or being blocked at home by workers from the factory to complain.

Now that the workers’ overdue wages have been paid, they are relieved. They believe that no more workers will block their door in the future.

The voting result was naturally a unanimous approval. Gu Qingyu nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, and now they could proceed to the next step.

So she said to Accountant Wu, "Accountant Wu, your finance department should take the documents to the Chengbei branch and ask President Lu to apply for a loan. We should try to get the loan approved before 3:00 this afternoon."

"You know, all our creditors will come to our house this afternoon!" Gu Qingyu said jokingly.

After giving the instructions, everyone returned to their posts and continued working. Sister Mei also spread the content of the meeting vote to every corner of the Red Star Food Factory.

"Hey, Sister Wang, have you heard? Our new factory manager said he's going to pay everyone their back wages."

"Is this true? Are you sure? My second child is going to start school soon and I'm worried about tuition."

A tall, thin woman walked in quickly from outside, got between the two of them with an excited look on her face, and said happily, "Really? The notice has been posted on the bulletin board. Go check it out!"

"Really? Then I want to go and take a look too!"

"Sister Wang, please wait for me, I'm going too!"

At this time, the Red Star Food Factory's bulletin board was surrounded by three layers of people. Everyone looked at the meeting minutes that had just been posted and started talking.

"This new factory director is quite capable. He's already paid everyone's wages on his first day. That's great!"

"Yes! Does that mean our factory is saved?"

Some people are happy, while others are naturally disappointed.

"Leaders, all the words sound nice, but wait until the real thing comes before you say anything!"

"Who knows what kind of trouble the new leader will stir up this time? Let's wait and see."

For a while, people were saying all sorts of things in front of the bulletin board, but generally speaking, this meeting record made the lifeless Red Star Food Factory suddenly lively.

In Dawangzhuang, four or five kilometers away from the Red Star Food Factory, five or six old men gathered at the home of Party Secretary Wang Haibo. They were smoking pipes and discussing something.

These people are the village party secretaries of the surrounding villages and are also the current creditors of a new food factory.

"Do you think Red Star Food Factory can really pay back the money this time?"

"I think it's a close call. I heard from my son-in-law who works at the factory that the Red Star Food Factory hasn't paid full wages for three consecutive months."

"Alas, how come the Red Star Food Factory is gone in less than a year?" someone said with emotion.

Several people gathered together to discuss the matter. Wang Haibo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "Is it Uncle Qin and the others' turn to go to the Red Star Factory to collect their debts today?"

"Oh, yes!"

"Uncle Qin and the others haven't returned yet, and now they've told us all to go to the Red Star Food Factory. It seems like things have really taken a turn for the better!"

"I think we should go there early. I have a feeling we can get our money back today."

Compared to these old guys who make a living in the dirt, Zhang Haibo, a retired soldier, is much more knowledgeable. Even he said so, it seems there is great hope!

"Let's go, let's go over and take a look!" someone couldn't wait and started urging.

"Yeah, since we have nothing to do anyway, let's go early." Someone agreed.

So, before two o'clock in the afternoon, the conference room of the Red Star Food Factory was filled with village party secretaries who came to collect debts.

"Uncle Qin, is Red Star Food Factory really going to pay back the money this time?"

"Well, I think it's true. I saw a notice posted on their factory bulletin board, so it shouldn't be fake."

"Wow, the sun is really rising from the west!"

You have to know that these people have come to Hongxing Food Factory countless times in the past six months, but have never gotten their money back.

Now that I tell them that they really have to pay back the money, to be honest, it’s a bit hard to believe!

Zhang Haibo noticed that there was something unusual about the Red Star Food Factory today. As they walked along, he felt that the workers in the factory were all vaguely excited.

So he asked Uncle Qin who was sitting next to him, "Uncle Qin, do you know what's going on here?"

"I'm not too sure about this!" the old branch secretary said, shaking his head.

But he thought of the young factory manager he met at the gate of the Red Star Factory this morning and said uncertainly, "That has something to do with the new factory manager who took office today."

"The new factory director?" Everyone else looked over when they heard that.

"Well, she's still a young girl!" the old branch secretary added.

Huh? The village party secretaries present all looked at the old party secretary in surprise. Only when he nodded in affirmatively did they come to their senses.

They will have to see later whether this young girl has supernatural powers. Otherwise, how could she be so powerful that she could pay back the money that had been overdue for so long on just the first day in office.

Gu Qingyu had no idea that these people were whispering behind her back about how powerful she was. At this moment, she was waiting in the office for a call from Accountant Wu.

Whether the loan can be approved today will determine Gu Qingyu's strategy for talking with the village party secretaries later.

If it was approved, she could just pay it back and be done with it! If not, she would need to negotiate with the branch secretaries and postpone the repayment deadline.

Fortunately, Lu Wenjun was really helpful this time. Accountant Wu called at 2:30 in the afternoon.

"Director Gu, our factory's loan has been approved!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Accountant Wu's words put Gu Qingyu's heart at ease. She said to Accountant Wu on the other end of the phone, "Thank you for your hard work. Now that the loan is processed, please come back quickly. The village party secretaries are already here!"

"Director Gu, there's a small issue I need to report to you!"

"Huh? What's going on?"

"The loan has been approved, but what should we do if the Chengbei branch doesn't have that much cash?"

Gu Qingyu felt relieved when he heard this. As long as the loan could be approved, this problem would not be unsolvable.

"Does our factory have a cash checkbook? If not, you can get one from the bank and we'll write cash checks for them, and then they can go to the bank to withdraw the money themselves!"

Accountant Wu slapped his head when he heard this. Look at his memory, he could even forget such an important thing.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I have a checkbook, but I rarely use it and I just forgot about it!"

"That's good. Come back as soon as possible! The factory is still waiting for you to come back and preside over the repayment!"
