Chapter 88 White lies
However, the amount of funds needed to rebuild the silk production base is huge. Although the Xingqing Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the silk production base had made some money before, the funds for redeeming work points had to be advanced according to the contract signed with the Xiangyang Brigade, so the money earned had been almost used up.
Su Qing went to see Lin Yueran overnight to learn about the current financial situation.
"There are still more than 20,000 yuan in the account, but half a year has passed, and the work points for the second half of the year need to be advanced to the commune, so we can't touch this money yet." Lin Yueran has her unique side in finance. She always has a scale in her heart, and she can count everything even without the account book in front of her.
"But the purchase of this batch of new production equipment, including shipping and installation fees, is estimated to cost at least 50,000 yuan." Su Qing saw that the funding gap on the account was quite large, frowned, and began to worry.
Moreover, during this period of time, Su Qing drank the spiritual spring water once in the space. Now she found that for some unknown reason, the space had crashed like a computer. She didn't know what kind of problem it had, and the original sign-in and points redemption functions were all invalid.
This directly led to the breakdown of the supply chain in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the cooperation agreement signed with Jinfeng Farm was also affected.
At present, the post-disaster reconstruction of the silk production base is imminent, and difficulties in capital turnover are the biggest gap facing us.
After all, in the cooperation agreement signed with Xiangyang Brigade, Xiangyang Brigade holds a proportion of equity similar to that of a future joint-stock company.
Early in the morning, Su Qing went to the commune to discuss the matter with Party Secretary Su Wangxing and Captain Su Guozhong. With their consent, Accountant Bai Lanxiang advanced 25,000 yuan from the commune to Su Qing for the purchase of equipment.
Knowing that the reconstruction of the base urgently needed money, Lin Yueran also mobilized his friends, such as his younger brother Lin Yuetong and her classmates in night school, to raise more than 9,000 yuan for Su Qing.
The brothers Su Yu and Su Hang also earned some money in the past two years. Combined with their parents' annual work points, their father Su Guisheng's income as a village doctor, and Su Qing's regular savings for the family, Su Yu, as a representative, also handed over more than 17,000 yuan to Su Qing.
Holding the heavy tens of thousands of yuan in her hands, Su Qing was extremely excited.
Since her rebirth, Su Qing has always been determined to lead her family and friends to become rich. After more than two years of hard work, as she imagined, her relatives and friends have gradually gone from being penniless to having some meager income. Although they are still some distance away from the well-off stage, they are considered to be the first few people to become rich in the entire commune.
Two years of hard work also received feedback and rewards from relatives and friends. Su Qing felt warm in her heart, but also felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavier.
After buying a long-distance bus ticket and taking two ferries, Su Qing once again embarked on the journey to Yang City since her rebirth.
Su Qing had no place to stay in Yangcheng. He remembered that Li Yuemei had invited him many times before she left, asking him to visit her if he arrived in Yangcheng. According to the address she left, Su Qing finally found the bookstore run by Li Yuemei's husband Wenhu.
"What? You said Lu Xingchen didn't go back to Yang City to work?" Su Qing originally wanted to ask Li Yuemei about Lu Xingchen's whereabouts, but she didn't expect her answer to be beyond her expectations.
"Yes, is there a male educated youth named Li Guobiao in your Hongxing Village?" Li Yuemei asked back.
"Yes, there was a male educated youth named Li Guobiao. Last time, he took advantage of his drunkenness and tried to molest me. Later, he was taken to the police station by Su Hang." When I think about the previous gathering, I still feel a little scared when I think about it now.
In her previous life, Su Qing was defiled by Li Guobiao and then trafficked to a remote village to become the wife of an ugly bachelor, which almost led to her death.
I encountered drunken trouble again in this life, and this guy almost succeeded. I hated him to the core.
"Li Guobiao's father is the head of a state-owned enterprise in Yang City. Although I don't know his name, I heard that this person has certain contacts with all kinds of people in society. He is not someone you can easily mess with..." Li Yuemei seemed to have something else in her words. She stopped talking halfway and hesitated in her heart, wondering whether she should tell Su Qing what she was going to say next.
"Tell me what this means?" Su Qing didn't know what the other party meant and was looking forward to her next words.
"Lu Xingchen saw you being bullied by Li Guobiao, and he was so angry that he gave him a severe lesson. He beat Li Guobiao half to death, but he was also detained by the police station." Li Yuemei told the truth.
"What? You mean Lu Xingchen is still detained in the police station!" Su Qing's eyes widened. She had never expected this to be the case.
"Yes, for your sake, he took all of Li Guobiao's hatred on himself. I heard that Li Guobiao's original target was you. It was said that Li Zhiqing had hired a killer to kill you. It was Lu Xingchen who saw through everything in advance. Not only did he beat up Li Guobiao, but even the killer was said to be completely subdued by him." After Li Yuemei finished speaking, she handed the letter in her hand to Su Qing.
It turned out to be a letter that Lu Xingchen sent to Li Yuemei a few days ago.
Su Qing remembered that when Lu Xingchen left, he left her the address of his former unit in Yang City. She guessed that she would come to Yang City to find him and would definitely come to Li Yuemei, so she informed Li Yuemei of the situation in advance.
I really didn't expect that Lu Xingchen had done so many things for me secretly. Su Qing felt warm in her heart.
She had felt a little aggrieved and resentful about his sudden departure, leaving her old father who had just recovered his memory to take care of, and abandoning her even though she knew she would need help after the fire at the base. But now, all these grievances and resentments in her heart had long disappeared.
Looking at every word Lu Xingchen wrote in the letter, Su Qing felt as if Lu Xingchen was right in front of her. As she read, she found herself in tears.
"You silly deer, why are you doing this? Why don't you just tell me clearly? You make me worry about you so much." Su Qing wiped her tears while handing the letter to Li Yuemei.
"He can't say it. He's asking for trouble and will have to worry about the trouble affecting you. He also doesn't want you to worry about him because of his affairs. Li Guobiao has been released now. I know he is a vengeful person, so you must be extra careful when you come to the provincial capital this time." Li Yuemei is still more worried about Su Qing's situation.
Su Qing also knew that, as Li Yuemei said, Li Guobiao was such a person.
In her previous life, after Su Qing became the CEO of a company, she also took revenge on Li Guobiao. His father's power had indeed given her a headache.
Although she had been prepared in this life, she was just not fully prepared yet. The other party had some plans against her, and although she did not succeed, Lu Xingchen stood up for her, and she also knew what the consequences would be.
However, Su Qing still needs time to digest Lu Xingchen's white lie.
Just as the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door, as if someone was about to come in.
