After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng looked at the man opposite him, tidied up his documents, and said, "I'm going home now. If you want to sit, then you can."
"Mr. Lu, things always need to be resolved, what kind of attitude is this?" The man opposite said pitifully, "I'm begging you, I'll do anything, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you?"
"No, no, no, I've already given you a solution. We've met many times and eaten together so many times. Secretary Huang knows about this too. We're best buddies, President Liu!" Lu Feng said with feigned distress, "Brother, I have a way, and I won't make things difficult for you, right?"
He watched as Lu Feng kept calling him "brother," and although the two had indeed eaten together many times and drunkenly swore brotherhood with their arms around each other's shoulders, he still couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lu, my surname is Chu!"
"That's not important. What's important is that I've already provided a solution," Lu Feng said, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
“Our bank cannot accept that proposal.” Vice President Chu said with difficulty, “How about this, you pay off the loan first, then apply for a loan and go through the process again. We also have quotas and tasks.”
“We don’t have the money to pay back. Just seize the factory. Go through the court to put up a seal. Once it’s sealed, we’ll vacate the premises.” Lu Feng put the folder aside and offered this solution.
"President Lu, aren't you being unreasonable? Who would dare shut down your factory? This is ridiculous! You have money; you have over 300 million yuan in cash in your account right now," Vice President Chu said, speaking his mind.
"How do you know the company has over 300 million in its accounts?" Lu Feng looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Who told you that?"
"The tax bureau just came to check your accounts a few days ago."
“Brother, you don’t understand.” Lu Feng stood up, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, and placed it in front of him, saying, “That money belongs to the material suppliers and employee salaries; it can’t be touched.”
"Mr. Lu, do you take me for a fool? You run such a big company, don't you make money?"
"Yeah, it doesn't make any money!" Lu Feng said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Then why did you start a company?"
"Serve the people!"
“I can’t argue with you. Anyway, my job is to get you to pay back the money. Several of us vice presidents will take turns keeping an eye on you. If you want to drag this out and don’t want to give me face, and you insist on tearing things apart, then there’s nothing I can do,” Vice President Chu said, crossing his legs.
"Then I'll go home after get off work!" Lu Feng said as he packed his things, "You stay here."
"I'll go home with you."
Lu Feng was annoyed by his persistence. No one could stand being pestered like this for a month. He sighed and said, "Okay, you go back first. I'll have dinner with Huang Youwei tonight and resolve this matter. You won't be under any pressure, and I won't be annoyed either."
"Are you sure?" Vice President Chu was somewhat incredulous. In his mind, no matter how much he pestered, the other party would not give him a penny.
“I'm sure. If you still don't hear anything by tomorrow, come back.” Lu Feng said to him earnestly.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once." Vice President Chu stood up, took a pack of cigarettes in his hand, and prepared to leave.
Lu Feng reached out and took the cigarette back.
"Isn't this for me?"
"I offered you some earlier, but you didn't want it. I won't give it to you now." Lu Feng casually put the cigarette back into the drawer.
The other party was also at a loss for words, saying, "Mr. Lu, you really are stingy. It's not that I'm making things difficult for you, it's just that you really have to do things according to the rules. We know what you're thinking. You just want to drag it out and pay back little by little, so your cash flow keeps rolling."
"Alright, alright, enough nonsense. You're off work, go home." Lu Feng sat down impatiently and started calling Huang Youwei.
Seeing that he was really going to deal with this matter, Vice President Chu pushed open the office door and left.
After the call connected, the person on the other end asked, "Who is this?"
"It's me, Lu Feng..."
"Beep beep beep..." The call was disconnected.
Lu Feng was dumbfounded. Why did Huang Youwei hang up on him? He called back, and it hung up again. He called several times, but Huang Youwei wouldn't answer. It seemed that Huang Youwei already knew what he was up to.
There was a knock on the office door, the door opened, and Zhang Fengxia walked in, saying, "Eat at home, or eat here?"
"I reckon I'll have to go out to dinner with some people." Lu Feng stood up and straightened his clothes. "Could you call home for me later and tell them I'll be back late?"
"You're not going home for dinner on the first day?"
"Huang Youwei messed with me, I have to treat him to a meal." Lu Feng picked up a briefcase, looked through its contents, gave a few instructions, and went downstairs.
When Lu Feng arrived at the municipal government, he jogged inside and saw Huang Youwei strolling along a path with two middle-aged men who appeared to be leaders from the districts and counties below.
"We must convey this spirit. Only when districts and counties are strong can the entire city become strong. This work must be done thoroughly, going deep into the grassroots, and immersing ourselves in planning for development and the future. We must stand the test of history, and as officials, we must benefit the people in our jurisdiction and have a sense of responsibility..."
As Huang Youwei was speaking, he saw Lu Feng, paused for a moment, and continued speaking. Secretary Cui had already run over.
"President Lu, Secretary Huang is busy today. We can talk about it another day." Secretary Cui stepped in front of Lu Feng.
“I’m not here to look for anyone, I’m just here for a stroll,” Lu Feng said, looking at him.
"President Lu, don't make things difficult for me. Secretary Huang already knows about your situation and will make an appropriate response at the right time."
"What you said is quite appropriate," Lu Feng said with a smile. "I just wanted to treat him to a meal. He can chat first; you don't need to block me."
