Chapter 59: More Powerful Than She Imagined

The two spoke in low voices, and Zhou Nuan didn't hear clearly. Seeing Gu Xiyue's serious expression, she was about to ask when a man with glasses came towards her.

When the man with glasses saw Gu Xiyue, his expression relaxed and he quickly walked over to him, "Old Gu, you're back just in time. I have something urgent to talk to you about."

There was a look of anxiety on his face, and it seemed that the matter was not small. Gu Xiyue looked at her and said, "Go with He Tao first, I'll find you later."

After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Nuan’s reaction, he quickly left with the man with glasses.

He Tao seemed to be used to it. "Sister-in-law, can I take you for a stroll?"

"Oh, oh."

Zhou Nuan came back to her senses and followed He Tao in another direction, asking as she walked, "Who was that just now?"

"The account manager in our factory, who is in charge of negotiating business, is Lao Tian, ​​Tian Yanjing, who has been with Brother Yue for many years."

I see. They are brothers who work together. No wonder he seems to have a good relationship with Gu Xiyue.

"Is there often trouble in the factory now?" Judging from Tian Wenjing's performance, it seems that there is a lot of trouble.

"The factory has just started, so there are bound to be all kinds of troubles. First of all, we have to make customers trust us, so that they will be willing to give us orders. Moving to a larger factory and even spending a lot of money to buy a car are all for this." He Tao said, "Brother Yue invested all his money in this factory, and he also borrowed a lot."

"Borrow money? How much?"

"One hundred thousand..."

He suddenly realized that he had said too much. Fearing that Zhou Nuan would worry, he hurriedly made amends, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. That was all in the past. Things are much better now. We have turned a loss into a profit."

Zhou Nuan naturally didn't take it to heart. Which boss doesn't borrow money first and then make a profit? As the saying goes, the timid will die of starvation and the bold will die of gluttony. In this era, those who are hesitant and timid are destined to achieve nothing great.

However, in this era where the average wage per capita does not exceed 100 yuan, Gu Xiyue dared to take the risk and borrow such a large sum of money, which already shows that he is not an ordinary person.

No wonder Qin Yuezhi was not told. I was afraid that Qin Yuezhi would be shocked when she heard the number.

Gu Xiyue was even more powerful than she had imagined.

"Well, it's only 100,000 yuan, not much." She nodded. In her world, 100,000 yuan was just the amount of money to buy a wallet, not a big deal at all.

He Tao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know for a moment whether she didn't know how much 100,000 yuan was or she was dumbfounded by the number.

But looking at her expression, it seemed like she really didn't take it to heart. I couldn't help but mutter, "You're worthy of being Brother Yue's person. You have a big heart..."

"He Tao, what did you say?"

"Nothing." He Tao said quickly, and took her to the factory. "Sister-in-law, this way."

The factory area is not small, with machine tools and various kinds of clothing piled up in different areas, not messy at all, and not like other small factories where clothes are thrown around randomly and messy. It is obvious that there are strict requirements and discipline, which is very consistent with Gu Xiyue's style as a veteran.

The workers were also busy at their workstations in an orderly manner. When they saw them coming, they just glanced at them casually and then looked away. Different people came to visit every day, and they were used to it.

But every time it was Tian Yanjing who brought people here, and it was rare to see He Tao bringing people here.

Zhou Nuan took a look at the finished garments. They were all popular styles, with bell-bottoms, cropped pants, etc. accounting for the majority.

She actually couldn't appreciate cropped pants, but they were in fashion now, and this was the market that Gu Xiyue mentioned. As for traditional clothing such as cheongsam, she couldn't see any of them, but she saw the army green short-sleeved shirt that Gu Xiyue often wore among a pile of cropped pants, which looked like military combat uniforms.

Just as she was about to ask, He Tao had already led her out, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the office and wait for Brother Yue."

Zhou Nuan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and followed He Tao out of the factory.

The two walked towards the office and did not notice that among the new employees, Sun Meixiang was staring at her back with a look of jealousy on her face.

The office is not far from the factory. It is called an office but is actually a reception room. There is a complete set of tea sets on the coffee table and next to it is a very comfortable sofa.

Just as I sat down, someone came and knocked on the door, "Brother He, I can't find Manager Tian and Brother Yue..."

Seeing Zhou Nuan, the man paused and asked, "Are there any customers here?"

He Tao frowned, "What's the matter?"

The man hurried over and whispered something in He Tao's ear. He Tao frowned even more tightly, "Why are you here again?"

He raised his foot and was about to walk out, but suddenly remembered that Zhou Nuan was still there, so he hesitated and stopped.

Zhou Nuan said, "It's okay, you go ahead, I'll wait for Gu Xiyue here."

When He Tao heard this, he said, "I'll be back soon," and followed the man away quickly.

As soon as the man left, the room became quiet, with only the sound of machine tools in the factory not far away.

Zhou Nuan had nothing to do, so she looked around for a while. There was nothing special in the office. Apart from the basic things, there was nothing else.

The sofa she was sitting on was extremely comfortable. She couldn't help but take a nap when she curled up in it. Plus, she didn't sleep well last night, so her eyelids started to droop as soon as she was quiet for a while.

She wanted to close her eyes and rest, but she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

And at this time on the other side.

Tian Yanjing and Gu Xiyue were walking hurriedly. Tian Yanjing said anxiously, "This batch of goods is almost due for delivery, but old man Fan is making trouble at this time. He insists that there is a problem with the quality of our goods and refuses to sign for them."

"There's nothing wrong with the goods. We made them according to their requirements. I guess he was upset because I didn't get what he wanted last time, so he's deliberately looking for trouble."

"What does he want? A kickback?" Gu Xiyue asked.

"It would be easy if they just wanted kickbacks. At most they would give up some profits, but they want us to arrange it..." Tian Yanjing was at a loss for words.

"you say."

Tian Yanjing glanced at him and said, "I heard that when Hong Kong businessmen come here as agents, other garment factories will arrange a woman to accompany them. They have to satisfy him."

Gu Xiyue frowned.

Seeing this, Tian Yanjing said quickly, "I know you can't stand this the most, so I ignored his unreasonable request and only agreed to it after I gave him good cigarettes and good wine. Who knew that he would say something sarcastic at the last moment?"

Gu Xiyue knew about this. It was something that everyone kept to themselves. Finding a pretty girl to accompany you, those Hong Kong business agents were old and lustful, but they were very generous. Many girls with little experience were eager to encounter such a good thing. The girl was willing, the Hong Kong business agent was also satisfied, and the transaction could be completed smoothly. All three parties were satisfied, so why not do it?

Not all Hong Kong business agents are like this, but unfortunately, this was the one they encountered.

As a retired military officer, Gu Xiyue naturally would not allow such a thing to happen in his own factory. Tian Wenjing knew his style, so he politely refused.

I didn't expect that something unexpected would happen in the end. If we really don't sign for it, all our efforts will be wasted.

Gu Xiyue naturally thought of this as well, and his face became serious.

"Where is old man Fan now?"
