National cotton factory.
The factory director, Zhang Weiguo, had not slept well for several days.
Out of respect and respect, he lent Zhao Jianping eight hundred thousand.
Now, the money had already been taken away.
However, he had no idea what Zhao Jianping wanted to do.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
" That day, he opened his mouth and asked me for two million…"
Zhang Weiguo recalled that he had mentioned the chemical plant to Zhao Jianping that day.
"The chemical plant just handed in a bill. I have some money on hand. I don't know if Zhao Jianping went.”
As he thought about it, he picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed a number according to the phone book.
A moment later, the call was connected.
"Hello, Old Zhou, I'm Zhang Weiguo. How have you been these few days?”
"Ah, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask you if Zhao Jianping has been looking for you these past few days.”
"I did. He borrowed 700,000 yuan from you?”
"How would I know what he's doing? He even took 800,000 from me.”
"If I don't give it to him, what should I do? He cries, makes a fuss, and hangs himself. He's already so grown up.”
"What? Old Chen also lent him 500,000 yuan?"
"Alright, then let's meet and discuss.”
The call ended.
However, Zhang Weiguo did not feel at ease at all. Instead, he became more and more uneasy.
Two million was not a small sum in this era.
This was not something they could take out personally. They had borrowed it in the name of the factory.
However, he had to return what he had borrowed.
If they could not get the money back, it would be a big blow to their factory.
Now that they were about to face restructuring, it was not only the northern airport that was having a hard time. They were also having a hard time.
Zhang Weiguo had already contacted the directors of the chemical plant and the rolling mill and agreed to meet in his office.
As he waited, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
He picked up his phone and called the northern airport.
……
At the northern airport.
The phone in the director's office rang.
The phone had rung many times in the past few days.
The technical department head, Sun Yong, and the personnel department head, Li Jun, looked at each other.
"What should we do? Do you want to answer it or should I?"
They knew that this call was definitely for the factory manager.
But now, the new and old factory managers were not around, so they had to answer the call.
In the past few days, they had already accepted several cases.
Other than two who were asking about orders, the others were looking for the factory manager.
The old factory manager, Zhao Jianping, had borrowed money from other factories and had already exchanged it for supplies to go to the Furious Bear Country.
They knew about this.
As Zhao Jianping's trusted aides, their loyalty could be guaranteed.
When Zhao Jianping left, they were the ones who sent him off.
It was because of this that they understood the seriousness of the matter.
Buying supplies and making a fortune overseas.
To put it nicely, it was to save the factory.
To put it bluntly, it was speculation!
Therefore, he did not dare to let anyone else know about this.
If the matter blew up, the two factory directors might even go to jail, let alone be fired!
"Forget it, I'll answer it!"
The HR Minister, Li Jun, picked up the phone.
He was in charge of human resources, so he was better at communicating.
"Hello, who is it?"
"I'm Zhang Weiguo, who are you?" Where's Zhao Jianping?"
"Are you looking for the old factory manager?" If you have anything to say, tell me. When the old factory manager comes back, I'll tell him.”
"He went out? Where did he go?"
"I have an order to discuss and have been out for a while.”
"Is he still in the factory today?"
"Yeah, he had a meeting with us this morning.”
"What about your new factory manager? That person…Chu Feng, right? Where is he?”
"The factory manager and the old factory manager went together and haven't returned yet.”
"They went together?"
"Yes, you know that the two factory directors are master and disciple. It's normal for them to go together.”
"Alright, Zhao Jianping is back. Tell him to call me back.”
The call ended.
Li Jun finally heaved a sigh of relief.
This time, he dodged it again.
But soon, the phone rang again.
He and Sun Yong looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.
……
National cotton factory.
After hanging up, Zhang Weiguo heaved a sigh of relief.
Since Zhao Jianping was still at the northern airport, there shouldn't be any problems.
After all, they had been friends for many years, so there was still trust.
If it wasn't for the fact that the amount was huge and he couldn't bear the responsibility, he wouldn't be so nervous.
However, after calming down, he felt a deep sense of self-blame.
He felt that he shouldn't have suspected Zhao Jianping, and he shouldn't have made this call.
"Old Zhao has treated me well. How can I doubt him?”
"Sigh, I really deserve to die. If Old Zhao finds out, he'll be so sad.”
But he had already made the call.
The two directors of the national cotton mill and the rolling mill were also on their way.
His goal was to discuss Zhao Jianping's matter with him.
"Forget it. When they come later, I'll pretend to be confused and get rid of them.”
Not long after.
"Manager, Manager Zhou of the chemical plant and Manager Chen of the rolling mill are here.”
"Quick, please!"
Not long after, two middle-aged men were brought in.
Zhang Weiguo had already boiled the water and was making tea.
"Come, come, sit. Try my new Biluochun.”
Biluochun was green tea. It had a lighter taste and was usually more popular among young people.
Middle-aged people like them usually liked to drink more black tea.
Zhang Weiguo also liked to drink black tea. The two factory directors also liked to drink black tea.
However, he just had to brew a pot of green tea.
He seemed enthusiastic, but in fact, he was sending the guest off, and it was not easy to say it clearly.
Factory Manager Zhou waved his hand and said," Alright, alright. Don't give us a hard time. I have something important to tell you."”
"What is it?"
"Hey, are you playing dumb? Didn't we make an appointment just now to discuss the matter of Old Zhao borrowing money?”
Zhang Weiguo chuckled and said," Hey, you're talking about this. I just called to ask. It's nothing. Old Zhao went to discuss business." He probably wanted money for new orders and new equipment.”
They also knew a little about the incident at the northern airport.
Zhao Jianping was also capable. Back then, he had even learned from the experts of the Bear Country. His professional standards were excellent.
In recent years, the factory had been in a slump. The main reason was that the equipment was aging and could not keep up with the times.
Zhao Jianping had asked the higher-ups for funding many times, but he was rejected.
He had complained to them about this matter many times.
Zhang Weiguo could understand.
"What did they say?" Old Zhou asked angrily. Could it be that the new and old factory managers were not around and had gone out to discuss the order?”
"How do you know?" Zhang Weiguo was stunned and asked doubtfully.”
"How would I know? Nonsense, how do you think I know? I called them the day before yesterday, and that's what they told me.”
"I asked him yesterday and he said the same thing." Elder Chen echoed.”
This time, Zhang Weiguo was stunned.
The stone that had been put down in his heart was lifted again.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
A terrifying thought suddenly appeared.
Zhao Jianping couldn't have run away, right?
The few of them looked at each other and saw similar thoughts in their eyes.
"Let's go to the North Airport in person. The three of us add up to two million. I don't know if Zhao Jianping borrowed money from others. This is not a small amount.”
Although they were cautious, they knew that they had been too hasty.
After all, the money had already been lent out. If they could not find the person, the money would go down the drain. They had to be responsible.
……
A car stopped in front of the northern airport.
Although it was still working hours, the place seemed a little deserted.
Without orders, there was naturally nothing to do.
With nothing to do, it was naturally deserted.
"Let's go and take a look. If Zhao Jianping doesn't come back today, I'll wait here!”
"Yes, we have to stop him. We have to ask him if he wants the money to buy equipment!”
The three of them entered the courtyard.
The old man in the duty room saw that they were aggressive and did not dare to stop them.
He immediately called Li Jun.
He also knew these factory directors.
In the workshop.
When Li Jun received the call, his face turned pale.
Sun Yong, who was standing at the side, saw that his expression was not right and quickly asked,""What happened?"
"Manager Zhang of the National Mian Plant, Manager Zhou of the chemical plant, and Manager Chen of the steel rolling plant are all here!"”
"They're all here! Where are we?"
"We've already entered the door. We'll be going to the workshop in a while.”
"F * ck! What's going on? Didn't he already pacify her?”
"They must have communicated."
"Then what should we do?"
"What should we do? He should deal with it first. Could he tell the truth?”
A few minutes later.
Three figures had already entered his line of sight and were heading straight for the director's office.
Li Jun quickly went up to him and said politely,""Sorry for not welcoming you, directors. I…"
"Cut the crap, I'm looking for Zhao Jianping!"
"Our factory director went out and hasn't returned yet.”
"Hmph!" Old Zhou said coldly. He said the same thing yesterday, so what? Old Zhao went abroad? You won't be back for a few days?"
Li Jun's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word 'overseas,' but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
"Of course not," he laughed."You're really good at joking.”
"Cut the crap. I don't have time to waste with you. We must see Zhao Jianping today. If he doesn't come back, we'll wait here!”
……
The sky was already dark.
They had already gotten off work at the northern airport.
However, the three factory directors were still reluctant to leave.
The lights in the factory were all turned off, and only the lights in the director's office were still on.
They had to pay for the food in the factory.
The three of them had stayed in the office and had been starving until now.
It wasn't that Li Jun and the others couldn't bear to part with a meal.
The purpose of ignoring the meal was to let them leave early.
However, he did not expect these few people to be so able to endure.
"Gu ~ Gu ~"
Zhang Weiguo had been hungry for a long time. He also had gastric problems. When he was hungry, his muscles would ache.
"What should we do? Are we really going to wait here? I'm afraid I'll really die here!"
Old Zhou's face darkened as he sighed.
"This Zhao Jianguo is really something. He actually left us here for so long! Good boy, don't even think about borrowing a penny from me in the future!”
Elder Chen said," Let's talk about the future later. What about the money?"”
Zhao Weiguo held his stomach and thought,"I believe in Old Zhao's character. He shouldn't do anything out of line.”
"He's already out of line by borrowing so much money!”Old Zhou said unhappily.
In the end, Elder Chen came up with an idea.
"I have a relative in the northern airport. I'll go to his house and ask if Zhao Jianguo has been around these few days.”
"Alright, let's do that. Let's go. I'm starving!”
The few hungry people finally left.
Li Jun, who was hiding in the dark, heaved a sigh of relief.
As for Zhang Weiguo, he had just returned home when he received a call from Old Chen.
"Old Zhang, bad news. My relative said that Zhao Jianping and his disciple are not here. They haven't seen each other for a few days!”
" What?!"
Zhang Weiguo was stunned.
The fear in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
It made his hair stand on end.
Could it be that they really ran away with the money after seeing the Beiji Plant close down??
