Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Chapter 163 Payback 3

Just now in the conference room, Gu Qingyu discovered that Zhang Huaimin was definitely the leader among the people at the Red Star Food Factory.

Didn’t you see that as soon as Zhang Huaimin opened his mouth in the conference room, those who originally wanted to persuade Gu Qingyu to think twice before acting all shut up.

Gu Qingyu used the excuse of the other party being unwell to send the old fox away, for she was afraid that this person would suddenly show up later and hinder her.

Gu Qingyu thought about the tough battle ahead, so he instructed Wang Ziqiang beside him, "Deputy Director Wang, please take me to your office first. Then have Accountant Wu and the people from the Finance Office wait for me in my office with the accounting books."

"Okay, Director Gu! Your office is over here. Please follow me."

Wang Ziqiang diligently led Gu Qingyu to the office, and on the way he did not forget to introduce the development history of the Red Star Food Factory to Gu Qingyu.

"Our Red Star Food Factory used to be a well-known large factory in Xinhu City, but in just over half a year, we have ended up in a situation where we can't even make ends meet!" Wang Ziqiang said with infinite emotion.

Gu Qingyu had only heard Master Lu briefly talk about the Red Star Food Factory on the way here. After hearing Wang Ziqiang's words, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How could it fail so quickly?"

"Alas, buying those two production lines drained our family's savings, and who knew we'd end up with two piles of scrap metal?"

"I heard that the other party showed us a good production line, but deliberately set a trap when signing the contract, and actually delivered a production line that was almost scrapped."

"Well, didn't our people discover this trick when they signed the contract?" Gu Qingyu found this incredible, so she asked Wang Ziqiang.

"If they had found out, they wouldn't have bought these two piles of iron. The former factory director and secretary were both arrested for this!"

Wang Ziqiang saw Gu Qingyu frowning in confusion, so he moved closer and whispered mysteriously in Gu Qingyu's ear.

“I heard that the other party hired two young and beautiful salespeople to accompany us throughout the tour, and the contract was finally signed over a drink.

"And it is said that these two people were found to have received kickbacks of this amount from each other." Wang Ziqiang stretched out three fingers towards Gu Qingyu and gestured heavily.

Gu Qingyu never expected that her predecessors were so bold as to accept such a large kickback.

"Director Gu, this is your office. This Xiao Chen is your secretary. If there are any changes that need to be made to this office, please have Xiao Chen come and inform me!"

Gu Qingyu looked at the office environment, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Wang Ziqiang, "Okay, there's nothing that needs improvement. Thank you, Deputy Director Wang, for coming to show me the way!"

"You're so polite. From now on, we'll be comrades in the same trench!" After bragging about business with Gu Qingyu, Wang Ziqiang left when he saw that Gu Qingyu was fine.

"Secretary Chen, please notify the people in the finance office and ask them to submit the account books as soon as possible."

"Okay, Director Gu!"

After everyone left, Gu Qingyu sat in the office chair and rubbed his brows tiredly. The twists and turns this morning had made Gu Qingyu really exhausted.

Now that she has taken over this mess, she has no choice but to bite the bullet and get it done, and she must get it done.

Although no one knew how much Wang Dahai had revealed in Beijing, Gu Qingyu had to be cautious in his words and actions and keep a low profile at this time.

The leaders of the Economic and Trade Bureau demoted her from the position of office director to the Red Star Food Factory to clean up the mess. They were probably waiting for Gu Qingyu to fall here so that they could demote her completely.

Gu Qingyu had worked hard for three or four years in Ping'an County to gain her current political capital, and she was unwilling to be pulled down like this.

Beep, beep... there was a knock on the door

"Come in!" Gu Qingyu shouted outside the door when he heard the knock.

Accountant Wu led several people from the accounting office into Gu Qingyu's office and said, "Director Gu, I have brought you the account books you requested."

Gu Qingyu signaled Accountant Wu to place the account book on the table, then shouted to Secretary Chen outside, "Secretary Chen, go get some chairs!"

"First, find me the original contract for Red Star Food Factory to purchase the new production line and the loan contract signed with the bank!"

"Then you guys should sort out the contracts and outstanding amounts for grain purchases between our Red Star Food Factory and each village, and make two copies of the reconciliation statement for each village. I'll need them this afternoon!" Gu Qingyu instructed the people in the finance office.

With Gu Qingyu's instructions, several people in the finance office began to get busy.

Gu Qingyu was not idle either. She took out the contract that Accountant Wu found and studied it carefully to see if she could find some breakthrough.

Looking at the words "two instant noodle production lines" written on the purchase contract, Gu Qingyu really wanted to bring out her two exes and give them a good beating.

How come it doesn’t even mention the production line model, and the full payment is required in advance? She has never seen such a rough contract, so how dare she sign it?

Gu Qingyu really couldn't bear to read this purchase contract. It made her feel so upset and uncomfortable!

So Gu Qingyu simply put it aside and picked up the loan contract next to it to look at it.

If Gu Qingyu was upset before, she was so happy now after seeing what the collateral in this loan contract was!

Haha! Who would have thought that the collateral on this contract would be [two instant noodle production lines]!

Isn't this the same scrapped production line those two idiots bought? I wonder how this contract was even signed.

For Gu Qingyu, this was finally a breakthrough. At least she had the capital to negotiate with the bank.

Gu Qingyu was just worrying about where to find the money to solve the current difficulties. Now the opportunity came, which gave Gu Qingyu a reason to continue looking for a bank loan.

What if the bank refuses to lend money to the Red Star Food Factory?

It would be easier not to take out a loan. Gu Qingyu could just not repay the money and let the bank take away the two abandoned production lines, saving tens of thousands of dollars in interest every month!

Although this method is a bit shameless, isn't it the only solution when one is forced into a desperate situation?

While Gu Qingyu was busy checking for loopholes in the contract, Accountant Wu and his team also sorted out the reconciliation statements with each village according to Gu Qingyu's request. "Director Gu, the reconciliation statements have been sorted out. Would you like to take a look?"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Gu Qingyu took it and looked at it carefully. Seeing that there was no problem, he asked Accountant Wu and others to leave.

After being busy for a whole morning, Gu Qingyu finally had an idea to solve the problem, and he finally felt relieved!

So she sat leisurely on the chair, opened a account book and started to look at it. Unexpectedly, she found a big problem at a glance.
