Chapter 260 Asking for Help
After more than a week, the Spring Festival is approaching, but the performance of the Supply and Marketing Department is unsatisfactory, and the products in the warehouse are still piled up.
The accounts receivable were finally recovered partially, which somewhat eased the factory's funding problem. However, looking at the financial statements in front of him, Lin Yuhang's brows were still furrowed, because according to his calculations, if this situation was not improved and the factory continued like this, the funds in the factory would not last until around Labor Day.
Lin Yuhang came to this factory with a passion, and he didn't want to leave without accomplishing anything. He thought of many ways, but none of them could solve the difficulties he faced. In desperation, Lin Yuhang had to admit that everyone has their own expertise, and many jobs cannot be done well with passion and enthusiasm. Now he really couldn't come up with a good solution to the problem he was facing.
Smoking in the office, the ashtray in front of him was full of cigarette butts. After a long time, Lin Yuhang stood up, put on his coat, left the office, went out, rode his bicycle, and left the factory directly.
Imperial University of Peking, as the Spring Festival approaches, Imperial University of Peking is about to usher in winter vacation again.
This winter vacation is Lin Yan’s last winter vacation at Imperial University. After the summer vacation, the Class of 1977 students will start their formal internships, and they will graduate at the end of the year.
As graduation approaches, Lin Yan's days in school have entered the countdown. She feels that time has passed so quickly. The time when she took the college entrance examination in the northwest seems to be still in front of her eyes, and now she is facing graduation in the blink of an eye.
In the last half year, Lin Yan and her classmates had learned almost everything they needed to learn. The most important thing next was the graduation exam and thesis defense. These days, Lin Yan had been spending her time in the library reading reference books and preparing for her graduation thesis.
Today, Lin Yan was reading in the library as usual. Song Yuanchao was not around. He was here an hour ago, but now he has to go to class. Just as Lin Yan was concentrating on copying the contents of the reference book, a person walked towards her quickly.
"swallow!"
"Why are you here?" Lin Yan asked curiously when she looked up and saw that it was her roommate.
"Your brother is here to look for you. He went to your dormitory just now and you were not there. I told him you might be in the library." The roommate said softly.
"My brother is here? Where is he?" Lin Yan stood up and looked behind him, but did not see Lin Yuhang.
"He's outside. I'll help him come in and tell you." The roommate said, and at the same time asked curiously: "By the way, Yan Zi, why have I never heard you mention your brother? Your brother is so handsome. How old is he? Does he have a boyfriend?"
Lin Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little girl actually had her eyes on Lin Yuhang. However, Lin Yuhang was indeed very handsome, and as a former soldier, he had a masculinity that ordinary people didn't have. Moreover, it was winter now, and Lin Yuhang wore gloves to cover up the defects of his fingers. As for the fake eye, it wouldn't be so obvious if no one paid attention. At first glance, these girls who were thinking about love were indeed easily attracted to such a young man.
"Don't think about it. My brother already has a girlfriend, and my nephew is about to have one too." Lin Yan said with a smile. She said this naturally to find a reason to help Lin Yuhang refuse. After all, the matter between Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin was already known to both parents, and now they were just waiting for Luo Lin to return from military service.
"Oh! That's a pity..." the girl said disappointedly. After she said it, she suddenly remembered that such words were too unreserved, and she stuck out her tongue at Lin Yan embarrassedly.
Lin Yan smiled and said nothing. She tidied up the things on the table, thanked her roommate, took the book to the book return area and returned it first, then walked out of the library with her notebook and other things.
When I came out of the library, I saw Lin Yuhang standing not far from the door, looking at me with a smile.
"Brother, why are you here?" Lin Yan came to Lin Yuhang's side, took Lin Yuhang's arm and asked, "Aren't you at work? How did you find time to come to our university? By the way, this is your first time here, right? Come on, I'll take you around, there are still many beautiful sights on our campus."
Lin Yuhang smiled and nodded. This was indeed his first time at the Imperial University of Peking. The troubles at the unit had been giving him a headache these days. He remembered that Lin Yan was about to graduate, and that she was studying economics, so he suddenly decided to come to the Imperial University of Peking to ask his sister if she had any solution to the problems at the factory.
Lin Yan took Lin Yuhang around the campus for a while, and finally walked to the lake and found a place to sit down.
After sitting down, Lin Yuhang lit a cigarette, thought for a while, told Lin Yan the purpose of his visit, and talked about many problems related to the factory and asked Lin Yan for her opinion.
After listening carefully to Lin Yuhang's words, Lin Yan thought about it carefully and said apologetically: "Second brother, I didn't expect the situation of the Eighth Factory to be so bad now. I understand what you mean. I have to think about this matter carefully. But you also know that I am just a college student. Although I have learned a lot in school, theory is one thing and practice is another. I am afraid I can't really help too much. I am also worried that the solution I mentioned may not work in practice."
"It doesn't matter. I just want to hear other people's opinions for reference. I will have an idea of what to do next." Lin Yuhang replied with a smile.
He had already considered what Lin Yan said before coming here, but he still wanted to hear Lin Yan's advice. Just as he said, it is always good to have more people give advice, and maybe it can give him some inspiration.
"That's right, I'll definitely think about it." Lin Yan nodded, but soon she suddenly said, "By the way, second brother, you can actually ask Yuan Chao about this! Maybe he has a solution!"
"Yuan Chao? Isn't he just a sophomore?" Lin Yuhang was stunned.
"You don't even know your own brother-in-law. Do you know what Yuan Chao did before he entered university?"
"What do you do? Aren't you and him both educated youth? What else can educated youth do?" Although Lin Yuhang was not unfamiliar with Song Yuanchao and they had a good relationship, Lin Yuhang really didn't know some things about Song Yuanchao. He only knew some superficial situations.
Seeing that Lin Yuhang knew nothing about Song Yuanchao's situation, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh. With a smile, she told Lin Yuhang some of Song Yuanchao's past. Of course, there were some things that Lin Yan did not tell, especially those about Xiangjiang Shenghua Company. After all, this was Song Yuanchao's secret. Even if Lin Yuhang was not an outsider, Lin Yan would never reveal it to anyone without Song Yuanchao's consent.
When Lin Yuhang learned that his brother-in-law was actually the workshop director of a collective enterprise in Shanghai before taking the college entrance examination, and almost became the factory director of this enterprise. In addition, with the help of Song Yuanchao, this enterprise has now been reborn. Not only has it established the Tengfei Garment Factory, but it has also exported its products overseas and has become a well-known enterprise in Shanghai and even the whole country, Lin Yuhang was a little stunned.
He never thought that Song Yuanchao actually had this ability. After all this time, the real god had been by his side without him knowing. Since Song Yuanchao had faced similar problems as he was now, he must have experience in this, and maybe he really had a way to solve his problem.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuhang couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately asked Lin Yan to take him to talk to Song Yuanchao. Lin Yan naturally wouldn't refuse this request, and took Lin Yuhang to the teaching building, and waited at the door of the teaching building for a while. After a while, Song Yuanchao's class was over, and the students came out of the teaching building in twos and threes.
Song Yuanchao came out with Luo Yang, Sun Yaoliang and others. As soon as he walked out of the building, he saw Lin Yuhang standing with Lin Yan.
"Second brother, why are you here?" Song Yuanchao hurried forward to greet him. Luo Yang knew Lin Yuhang, and he also knew the situation of his sister Luo Lin and Lin Yuhang. Today, Lin Yuhang was surprised and was very happy. He also hurried forward to shout "Second brother Lin."
"Yangzi, long time no see." Lin Yuhang greeted Luo Yang with a smile, and at the same time his eyes noticed Sun Yaoliang who was with them.
"Let me introduce you to my classmate, roommate and good friend, Sun Yaoliang. Yaoliang, this is Yan Zi's second brother, you can call him second brother too."
"Hello, second brother!" Sun Yaoliang hurriedly greeted Lin Yuhang. Lin Yuhang smiled and shook hands with Sun Yaoliang: "What a coincidence today. Have you eaten? Let's go have dinner together later. I'll treat you."
"No need, second brother. I have something to do later. You and Yan Zi should eat with Yuan Chao." Luo Yang was very observant and knew that Lin Yuhang and Lin Yan came together to talk to Song Yuan Chao about something.
Sun Yaoliang was also a smart man. He reacted immediately after Luo Yang said that. He smiled and said that he and Luo Yang had already made arrangements, and they would have this meal again when they had the chance. Then he said hello to Lin Yuhang and the others, and the two of them left together.
After they left, Lin Yuhang asked Song Yuanchao with a smile. Song Yuanchao naturally would not refuse and nodded in agreement immediately.
The three of them went straight out of the campus and ordered a few dishes and a bottle of wine at a small restaurant not far from the campus.
The dishes were all ordinary, and the wine was not very good, just ordinary Erguotou. They were all family, so there was no need to be polite. After the dishes were served, Song Yuanchao first toasted Lin Yuhang with a glass of wine, and smiled and said that he had not had time to formally congratulate Lin Yuhang for his job at the Eighth Factory, so today's glass of wine was to celebrate.
Lin Yuhang was a straightforward person, and soldiers all had a good alcohol tolerance, so he immediately raised his hand to drink the wine in the glass, then smiled at Song Yuanchao with the bottom of the glass in his hand.
He finished a glass first, then drank slowly, and ate a few chopsticks of food. Lin Yan told Lin Yuhang about the matter of looking for him. In fact, when Song Yuanchao saw Lin Yan bringing Lin Yuhang to see him, he had already guessed something. Lin Yuhang might have something to do with him, but he didn't expect that Lin Yuhang came to see him because of the factory's matter.
He looked at Lin Yan to inquire, and Lin Yan gave him a reassuring look. Song Yuanchao knew that Lin Yan had not revealed her secrets to Lin Yuhang, and he immediately felt relieved.
"Second brother, please tell me the details of the factory's situation. I'd like to listen first and then see if there is any solution." Since Lin Yuhang asked to join him, Song Yuanchao naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. He immediately handed him a cigarette and said.
After taking the cigarette, Lin Yuhang did not light it up immediately. He nodded with a serious expression and immediately started talking about the situation of the factory and the problems it was facing. As Lin Yuhang spoke, Song Yuanchao listened carefully at the side. His expression did not change much, and he did not interrupt his narration.
