Ye Beiping, who was standing to the side, saw that the two men's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, but he didn't find it strange and invited them to sit down with a smile.
"Director Li, Director Wei, are you here to collect payment for the goods?"
The two men were somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, but Li Peiqiang reacted quickly. After all, he had been in this position for more than ten years, and he knew what to say at this moment.
He quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Director Wei and I happened to have some free time today, so we thought we'd come over to invite Mr. Jiang to dinner. We didn't expect you to be back, Mr. Ye."
Upon hearing that it was a dinner invitation, Jiang Hai and Ye Beiping exchanged a smile.
Jiang Hai, in particular, hadn't seen Wei Daming or Li Peiqiang invite him to dinner in the three days he'd been here. Now that Ye Beiping was back, and suddenly both factory directors wanted to treat him to dinner, things probably weren't so simple.
Ye Beiping immediately understood the meaning of the two state-owned factory directors: they probably had people watching Jiang Hai at all times, for fear that he would run away.
However, he couldn't say this outright, so he just smiled and said, "In that case, let's settle the payment for the last batch of goods before we eat."
“This…” Li Peiqiang hesitated.
This kind of thing should be handled by the factory's own finance department; he wouldn't dare take the money so casually.
If he lost them, Li Peiqiang couldn't afford to pay for them even if he sold his underwear.
Wei Daming exchanged a glance with Li Peiqiang, sharing the same hesitation.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Ye Beiping said generously, "Director Li, Director Wei, you can notify your finance department to come over now. There's no rush. We're not that hungry right now."
"Okay, okay."
Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming both nodded, stood up, and said "sorry."
I went downstairs to find a phone to call the factory's finance department to come and settle the payment.
At this moment, Jiang Hai, who was in the room, curled his lip and said, "Beiping, you and Jiang He just got back, and they came over. They probably already knew you were back."
"It's alright." Ye Beiping sat calmly in his chair and raised his hand, saying, "What good would it do if they knew? They'll be happy to settle the payment on time, and they might even gain more goodwill from us. Let's not worry about the other little things."
"Who told us to get something for nothing?"
"Mhm." Seeing Ye Beiping's calm expression, Jiang Hai could only nod in agreement.
Jiang He, who had been silent all along, was happy to see his brother and Ye Beiping working together more and more smoothly. Touching the four thousand five hundred yuan beside him, he began to fantasize about when he would get married and build a house.
Half an hour later.
Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming each brought their own family's finances to Jiang Hai's room.
The finance staff were mostly women. When they were suddenly taken to a room, both of them frowned and looked at Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming with wariness.
However, the finance officer from Jiangnan Leather Factory hesitated before entering the room, and was stunned when he saw Ye Beiping sitting upright: "It's you?"
Ye Beiping also looked in the direction of the voice, slightly surprised: "It's you?"
It turns out that the accountant called by Jiangnan Leather Factory was Xu Yun, the young woman Ye Beiping rescued the first time he came to Wencheng.
The others, seeing the surprised expressions on Ye Beiping and Xu Yun's faces, were also puzzled.
Xu Yun was the first to react, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be you. Did you buy the goods before?"
She was still somewhat shocked when she said this.
Five hundred pairs of leather shoes, all bought in one go—it seems Ye Beiping is quite wealthy.
Li Peiqiang, looking completely bewildered, pointed at Xu Yun, then at Ye Beiping, and asked, "You... know each other?"
I never expected that Ye Beiping knew Xu Yun.
If that's the case, does that mean there's absolutely no problem with 10,000 pairs of leather shoes? After all, he's an old acquaintance of Xu Yun's.
Countless speculations arose in Li Peiqiang's mind.
Wei Daming was no simple character either. He began to wonder if Ye Beiping's knowledge of the finances of Jiangnan Leather Factory meant that their First Leather Shoe Factory had lost its advantage.
Ye Beiping glanced at Xu Yun, then smiled and said to Li Peiqiang, "Director Li, we've only met once, we're not that close."
Um?
These words made Xu Yun frown slightly, but he still nodded to Li Peiqiang: "Yes, Director Li, we're not very familiar with each other."
Li Peiqiang was not happy to hear this.
If it's well-cooked, that's fine, but if it's not, then it's all for nothing.
Ye Beiping knew perfectly well what Li Peiqiang meant, but there was no need to involve a woman in his business with the Jiangnan Leather Factory. Otherwise, he could have contacted Xu Yun when she gave him her contact information after he first arrived in Wencheng.
The reason I haven't gone looking for him is not only because I don't want to cause trouble for Xu Yun, but also because I haven't really helped him much. After all, if that highway robber had robbed me of my money, I would probably have to sleep under a bridge when I got to Wencheng.
After explaining the situation, Ye Beiping, wanting to prevent Li Peiqiang from asking too many questions, asked Xu Yun and the finance manager of the First Leather Shoe Factory to calculate the money first.
While counting the money, Xu Yun secretly watched Ye Beiping and Li Peiqiang chatting and laughing. Ye Beiping was nothing like a country boy. Every time they met, Ye Beiping could surprise him.
She echoed Ye Beiping's words just now because she didn't want to cause trouble for him, in case he had other plans or something.
Within ten minutes, both finance departments had counted the money.
Ye Beiping nodded and said to Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming, "Director Li, Director Wei, please have your finance department write me a receipt."
“Of course.” Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming immediately had their finance department write a receipt.
