Chapter 157 Funding is a Problem



The next day.

When Liu Ruonan got up, Zhuang Sheng had already gone to the army. Ning Haotian no longer came, and the meal Zhuang Sheng had prepared was placed on the dining table.

After washing up and finishing her meal, Liu Ruonan took the bus to the store. Perhaps because of the heavy rain yesterday, the weather was a bit cold today, and compared with the past, business seemed a bit slow.

Liu Ruonan went to visit Liu Kaixu and Song Xinlan. Seeing that they were fine and had no cold or fever, she felt relieved.

The road construction has always been on Liu Ruonan's mind. She wants to go to the mayor to discuss the road construction. Liu Ruonan doesn't know much about the road construction. She should probably ask the mayor for instructions on this matter!

Liu Ruonan asked Chen Lei to accompany her to the city government office again, where she found the mayor and discussed the issue of road construction.

Liu Ruonan planned to pay for the road herself, which would connect directly to the city. She thought she could name it after her garment factory.

She remembered that in her previous life, several roads in the city were named after large factories, which also helped to raise the reputation of the factories.

Since Liu Ruonan was investing, the government didn't need to contribute, which was of course something the government was happy to see. Therefore, the mayor personally helped Liu Ruonan apply for approval for the road construction.

The approval has been obtained, but funding is still a problem.

Because he had just invested in a factory, the money Liu Kaixu gave him was used to buy equipment, but it was certainly not enough, so he borrowed some from Fulu.

It can be said that Liu Ruonan is now penniless and heavily in debt.

However, Liu Ruonan had nothing to worry about. The price hikes next year were already imminent, and the money she had invested would definitely come back.

After a preliminary estimate with the mayor, we found that it would cost at least 10,000 yuan to build this road.

But she really has no money now, what should she do?

Liu Ruonan wanted to go to the factory to take a look. She wondered what the factory looked like after yesterday's heavy rain.

The ground outside the factory is mostly dirt roads, which become muddy when it rains. This situation is not conducive to doing business. Liu Ruonan wants to renovate the perimeter of the factory as well.

They took a taxi to the factory gate. The taxi driver kept complaining all the way, saying that the road was difficult to travel on. In the end, he asked Liu Ruonan for two more dollars for the fare.

Liu Ruonan didn't mind it. After all, the road was difficult to walk on because of the rain. It wasn't easy for other people to run a business.

Then she negotiated with the driver and asked him to wait here, and she would pay for the return fare and the waiting fare.

Liu Ruonan entered the factory gate, but found that the door leading to the factory building had been paved with wooden boards. As long as she stepped on the wooden boards, she would not be afraid of falling into the mud pit.

Liu Ruonan wondered, could it be Zhuang Sheng? Impossible. Zhuang Sheng had taken such a long leave from the army to go abroad, so she must have a lot of work waiting for her now. So, who could it be?

At this moment, hearing the sound of puffing and banging coming from the factory, Chen Lei looked at Liu Ruonan and asked, "There seems to be someone in the factory."

Liu Ruonan understood, it must be Ning Haotian!

This morning, Ning Haotian must have left home with Zhuang Sheng. Liu Ruonan didn't think much of it at the time. After all, with Zhuang Sheng gone, they were left alone, a man and a woman, which really wasn't appropriate. Ning Haotian's departure saved them from any awkwardness.

However, Liu Ruonan did not expect that Ning Haotian would come to the factory.

The machines were not arranged properly at that time, so maybe he was the one who arranged the placement of the machines!

Liu Ruonan and Chen Lei entered the factory, and as expected, Ning Haotian was leading the workers to arrange the machines.

Because Liu Ruonan had been to the city government, it was already past noon. Before Liu Ruonan and Chen Lei came, they had eaten steamed buns and wontons, but they didn't know whether Ning Haotian and the workers had eaten yet.

The transportation here is really inconvenient and eating is also a problem.

Ning Haotian looked up and saw Liu Ruonan coming in. He quickly walked over to her and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Now that you're here, can I?" Liu Ruonan teased. At a glance, the factory had been almost cleaned up, and many machines had been placed in appropriate locations. Now it looked like a garment factory.

Various advanced clothing machines are refreshing to look at.

"You worked so hard until late yesterday, why didn't you rest for a while at home?" Ning Haotian said to Liu Ruonan while directing the workers.

"I'm fine." Liu Ruonan responded: "It's already past noon, everyone must be tired, right? Do you want to eat something and rest for a while?"

"I've already rested!" Ning Haotian responded, "Let's work hard and finish all the work today, then there won't be any more trouble later."

Liu Ruonan scolded, "How can you just rest? You have to eat. Without eating, how can you have the energy to work?"

"You worry so much. You've already eaten." Ning Haotian retorted unconvinced.

"How do you eat in this place where there is no village in front and no shop behind?" Liu Ruonan asked in surprise. Indeed, many things in the factory are not perfect yet. There is no restaurant nearby and no tableware to cook with in the factory.

"I bought it before I came here, but it was a little cold. Fortunately, I was full. Please reimburse me for this!" Ning Haotian said, taking out a list, which clearly recorded the food Ning Haotian bought, a total of twenty-five yuan and twenty-six cents.

Liu Ruonan curled her lips and smiled. She hadn't expected Ning Haotian to be so foresighted. Liu Ruonan put the list away and said to Ning Haotian, "I'll report it to you when I get back."

Suddenly remembering something, he looked at Ning Haotian and asked, "Haven't you been wandering around all the time? Where did you get the money?"

"Uh... I'm not stupid. I have hands and feet. Can't I make some money myself? I can't let myself starve to death while I'm wandering around!"

Ning Haotian seemed to have run into a trap. He was silent for a long time and finally found an excuse to get away with it.

Liu Ruonan believed it; after all, Ning Haotian didn't look like an ordinary person. Although Liu Ruonan didn't know his true identity, whether he was a runaway young master or a wandering artist with a lot of skills, she knew he had the ability to keep her from starving.

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Ning Haotian waved his hand, motioning Liu Ruonan to follow him. Then he turned to the workers and said, "Put them in the positions we've arranged earlier. Don't put them in the wrong place, otherwise you'll have to redo the work and waste a lot of effort."

Having said that, he pulled Liu Ruonan to the office.

The factory and the office are on the same road. When the factory was built, this road was repaired and paved with cement, so it is easy to walk on.
