Chapter 141: Director Song Has Your Back
Gu Yue hadn’t expected Song Chu to offer to accompany him. Using the excuse of a business trip to investigate and introduce cooked food techniques was indeed more reliable.
“Can you get away?” A warmth welled up in his heart for the first time.
Song Chu chuckled, “I can get away. I don’t have to report to the County Economic Office for another month.”
“I’ll also take the opportunity to bring the future farm directors out to broaden their horizons. Staying in the village all the time is too limiting. This is a perfect and legitimate reason.”
Every time she proposed something she wanted to do, Gu Yue would quickly devote his energy to helping her. So, she wanted to help him too.
Gu Yue wasn’t a pretentious person who stood on ceremony. He was quite happy with Song Chu’s offer to help.
“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Director Song to accompany me on this trip.”
Song Chu gave him an “OK” gesture. “No problem, Director Song has your back.”
Gu Yue couldn’t help but laugh. This was the first time in his life that someone had said they would have his back. It felt pretty good!
Two days later, Song Chu received a call from Director Luo at the pig farm.
He gave a definite answer. The clothing factory had approved her second proposal, which was to pay 20,000 yuan for the idea and technique of making down jackets.
The only requirement was that Song Chu could not disclose this idea and technique to any other factory, ensuring their factory’s exclusivity.
Song Chu naturally wouldn’t do anything so unethical. She took the initiative to propose signing a contract, outlining the requirements and obligations of both parties as a mutual guarantee.
In addition to the 20,000 yuan, the clothing factory would also continuously purchase duck down and goose down from the pig farm.
The clothing factory had no objections to this, and even more so, wanted it included in the contract.
After all, there weren’t many people raising ducks and geese now, and even fewer were opening duck and goose farms. If they wanted to make it big, they would need a steady supply of raw materials.
It was difficult to explain everything clearly over the phone. So, the next day, Song Chu brought Tang Youhua and Tang Wei to the clothing factory to negotiate and sign the contract.
They were going to be the director and vice-director of the pig farm in the future. It was necessary for them to witness this, so they would have a clear understanding.
After the contract was signed and stamped with the official seal, both parties kept a copy.
Director Luo smiled and asked, “Director Song, do you want to take the 20,000 yuan with you today, or come back another day to get it?”
They had already prepared the money and were planning to immediately set up a new workshop specifically for producing down jackets. Otherwise, it would be too late if they waited until winter to start production.
Song Chu replied, “We’ll take it with us today.”
With her around, even if they encountered robbers, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Director Luo smiled and asked, “Do you need us to send a few people to escort you back?”
This was 20,000 yuan. Nothing could go wrong.
Song Chu smiled and politely declined, “Thank you for your kindness, Director Luo, but the two comrades I brought with me are quite strong. We won’t have any problems on the road.”
Director Luo didn’t insist further and took them to the finance department to get the prepared money.
Because Director Luo had already given instructions over the phone, she came prepared with a backpack.
This was also something she had recently asked her mother to make for her, making it more convenient when going out.
Tang Youhua and Tang Wei, who had come with her, felt a sense of unreality as they watched Song Chu stuff stacks of money into the backpack.
This was the most money they had ever seen in their lives. It was quite intimidating.
At the same time, their admiration and respect for Song Chu rose to another level. She was truly amazing.
Not only did she secure a long-term order for duck down and goose down from the clothing factory, but she also managed to get them to pay 20,000 yuan for some idea and technique. This was simply incredible.
Song Chu had shown them the down jacket before. Their impression was that it had a nice style and was relatively lightweight.
But they never expected that just making such a garment could fetch 20,000 yuan for the idea and technique. A new world had opened up for them.
Song Lao Si and Song Ping already knew about the 20,000 yuan and had personally witnessed how Song Chu had negotiated the deal.
But when Song Chu stuffed stacks of money into the bag, they still couldn’t help but feel shocked.
After getting the money and signing the necessary documents, Song Chu said they needed to return to the village.
Because the bag contained 20,000 yuan, Director Luo didn’t try to keep Song Chu and the others any longer. It was safer for them to return as soon as possible.
Director Luo saw them off at the factory gate and couldn’t help but say to his secretary beside him, “This Little Song, Director Song, is incredibly composed. She’s not an ordinary person.”
“This is 20,000 yuan, not 200. How can she be so calm?”
No wonder she could easily and confidently converse with Vice-County Magistrate Sheng. He couldn’t compare to her composure.
The secretary nodded in complete agreement. “That’s right. She’s bold and courageous, it’s admirable.”
If it were him carrying 20,000 yuan on the road, his hands and feet would probably be shaking.
But looking at Song Chu, it seemed like she was just casually carrying a backpack. This kind of mental fortitude was not something ordinary people could achieve.
No wonder she could negotiate a 20,000 yuan deal. He couldn’t help but admire her.
On the road, Tang Youhua, Tang Wei, Song Lao Si, and Song Ping all looked extremely nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Tang Youhua and Song Lao Si rode their bikes on either side of Song Chu, protecting her in the middle.
They were extremely wary of people on the road, as if they were afraid someone would come out and rob them at any moment.
Song Chu found it both funny and exasperating. “With that look on your faces, are you afraid that people won’t know I’m carrying money?”
“There’s no need to be so nervous. Try to relax. Just pretend I’m carrying a bunch of waste paper,” she reassured them.
The four of them: “…” No, they couldn’t pretend it was a bunch of waste paper.
They realized that their nervousness might actually attract more attention, so they tried their best to calm down.
But they were still scared and nervous. This was 20,000 yuan!
Song Chu smiled and said, “Even if you can’t think of it as waste paper, just remember my combat power.”
“If anyone dares to come and rob us, I can kick them flying with one kick. Taking on ten people would be a piece of cake. I’m not even afraid carrying it myself, so what are you afraid of?”
One of the reasons she deliberately brought them along to witness her making money was to train their mental endurance.
If they saw more of this, they would naturally become more at ease in the future.
And indeed, this reassurance worked instantly. The four of them simultaneously remembered Song Chu’s fighting prowess.
She was the village bully who could kill a wild boar single-handedly. Their worries seemed a bit excessive…
As a result, they gradually became less tense. However, it wasn’t until they returned to the pig farm and handed the money over to the accountant and cashier that they finally relaxed completely.
The cashier and accountant were stunned. As they watched Song Chu pull out stacks of money, they couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Although the farm director had given them a heads-up, seeing so much money in person still felt a bit unreal.
“Count the money. After confirming the amount, put it in the safe and lock it,” Song Chu waved her hand in front of the two stunned individuals.
This was a safe she had asked Huo Kai to help her buy last week.
“There will be even more money at the pig farm in the future. You need to stay calm,” she added with a smile.
The two immediately snapped out of it. Their hands were shaking a little as they counted the money. This was definitely the most money they had ever seen.
But the farm director was right. They needed to stay calm and not embarrass themselves.
How could Director Song be so capable? This was 20,000 yuan, and she wasn’t even excited?
Indeed, people like Director Song were beyond the comprehension of ordinary folks like them.
