Seeing that Li Xiyue was sitting in the chair without any politeness and wouldn't leave, Director Zhang said impatiently, "Young lady! Even if you stay here and don't leave, my schedule is already full, and I can't print for you. Is there even twenty-eight hours in a day?"

Li Xiyue said with a smile, "Director Zhang, do you pay for all those orders you mentioned? Is it like usual, printing things first and then paying you back when they have the money?"

As for whether this money can be repaid, that's hard to say; it might be something they'll never be able to pay off in their lifetime!

Factory Director Zhang sat down opposite Li Xiyue with a helpless sigh. He said, "You're right... but there's nothing we can do about it. We're all brother units, and the country has set a production plan, so we have to complete it. Sigh..."

Li Xiyue said, "I'm paying in cash!"

Li Xiyue reached into her military green canvas handbag and released two thousand yuan from her spatial storage.

She took out the money and slapped it on Director Zhang's desk.

When Factory Director Zhang and the gatekeeper saw the two bundles of money, their eyes widened in disbelief.

Both are 10 yuan a bundle, and judging by their thickness, they should be worth 2,000 yuan.

Two thousand yuan!

Although paying salaries is still a drop in the bucket, at least we can give employees some subsidies first, and this should only be a deposit!

Factory Manager Zhang glanced at the money, then at Li Xiyue. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Young lady, how many calendars do you want to print?"

Li Xiyue said, "Print 20,000 copies first, and the rest will depend on my instructions."

Although she knew that calendars would definitely make money, she was still unsure about the sales volume, since she had never sold them before.

Factory Director Zhang said, "20,000 copies. The paper and printing cost for one calendar is 1.5 yuan, so 20,000 copies would cost 30,000 yuan."

"Young lady, it's not that I look down on you, but you say you're a self-employed individual. Do you even have 30,000 yuan?"

His tone was full of skepticism. "You won't find a single person with ten thousand yuan in ten villages and eight shops. This young girl can come up with 30,000 yuan? That's just bragging!"

Li Xiyue's eyes widened in surprise, "What? 30,000 yuan?"

Factory Director Zhang sneered and said, "It's 30,000 yuan, didn't expect that, did you?"

Young lady, you should consider your own capabilities before making any decisions. Thirty thousand yuan—is that something you can easily come up with so easily?

Li Xiyue said with a smile, "Only 30,000 yuan! I didn't expect it to be so cheap! Then I'll order another 10,000 copies! Print 30,000 copies for me!"

Factory Director Zhang's mouth was agape, his jaw almost dropping to the ground...

Cheap……

For the first time, he began to doubt the meaning of the word "cheap"...

He stammered, "30,000...30,000 books? Forty-five thousand yuan?!"

He said the last sentence through gritted teeth!

What does 45,000 yuan mean?

Their factory has 300 employees, whose monthly salary is 16,000 yuan, and the reimbursed medical expenses are about 8,000 yuan.

Forty-five thousand yuan is almost enough for their expenses for two months!

Li Xiyue said, "Yes! Now you can schedule the work for us, right?"

I'll pay you a deposit of two thousand yuan first, then another five thousand yuan on the day we start production, and another twenty thousand yuan when we've printed half of the calendars. The balance will be paid upon delivery of the finished product!

Factory Director Zhang took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had been the director of the printing factory his whole life, and he had never done such a smooth business deal.

They took the money so readily, all in cash with no delays!

He nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, even if I have to work overtime until midnight, I will make sure your goods are delivered first!"

I had the finance department accept the two thousand yuan deposit first!

Give me the photo samples, and I'll discuss the production schedule with the production department and schedule it for you as soon as possible.

When Li Xiyue heard the word "photo proof," her mind went blank. How could she have forgotten that printing calendars requires photo proofs?

But where does she get the photo proofs?

And then there are the movie stars, where does she get them from?

We were careless this time!

She coughed awkwardly and said, "I didn't bring the photo samples with me. I'll go back and get them, and I'll bring them to you in the next couple of days."

Factory Director Zhang nodded hurriedly and said, "Alright, I'll discuss the production schedule with the head of the production department in a bit. You bring over the photo samples in the next couple of days, and we'll start production as soon as possible!"

He was even more anxious than Li Xiyue now, thinking about his employees' two months' wages and medical expenses, which were more important than anything else!

If he can't come up with the medical expenses, the company's long-time employees will probably besiege his office!

Seeing that it was almost time for afternoon classes, Li Xiyue said goodbye to Director Zhang.

Factory Director Zhang escorted Li Xiyue all the way to the factory gate before returning to his office building. The first thing he did upon returning was to find the production department.

Li Xiyue hurriedly returned to school through the spatial passage, running into the classroom as the school bell rang.

It was still the same familiar course, but with an unfamiliar teacher.

Du Jingshan was lecturing in this class, and she kept her head down and didn't look at him.

If she hadn't suspected Du Jingshan of being a spy, she wouldn't have bothered to even glance at him.

However, she always felt that Du Jingshan was watching her intentionally or unintentionally.

She said to the security guard in the space, "Where can I get photo samples? I don't even have a camera. I heard that you need a professional camera to take these kinds of photos."

And where am I supposed to find big stars? Would those big stars even let me take pictures?

Mibao sat in the boss's chair like a human, holding a dried fish between her fingers and munching on it. She was a very proper cat, but she had an air of irreverence about her.
