CHAPTER 526: CHAPTER 525: VISITING THE FACTORY MANAGER

Since this factory director’s surname is Lu, Zhen Yu just happened to know someone with the surname Lu!

So, on the return bus trip, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but gossip a bit, "Han Mingyue, do you think... this factory director could be Lu Huai’s dad?"

Han Mingyue smiled and shook her head, "There are many people with the surname Lu in this world, there can’t be that many coincidences."

Zhen Yu was just asking casually, and after receiving a negative answer, she actually felt much more relieved in her heart.

Having acquaintances has its benefits, but not knowing someone has its perks too!

Talking about money with someone you know hurts feelings! Although she didn’t have any feelings for Lu Huai...

After getting off the bus, the two of them inquired around and finally found Factory Director Lu’s residence.

It was a very ordinary residential building, the exterior looking a bit old, even. After climbing up to the fourth floor in one breath, Zhen Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock!

Creak—creak...

The person who opened the door was a boy who bore a resemblance to Lu Huai, with about fifty percent similarity. As soon as Zhen Yu locked eyes with him, both of them froze on the spot!

"Lu Wei?! What are you doing here?!" Zhen Yu’s tone was quite surprised, and without waiting for him to answer, she immediately followed up with another question!

"Where’s Qian Duoduo?!"

Just the mention of a name scared Lu Wei into stepping out the door, trying to cover Zhen Yu’s mouth with his hand, while also emitting a strong hushing sound.

Zhen Yu was trying to analyze the situation in her mind, thus she stood still.

Han Mingyue, however, stepped forward from her side and grabbed Lu Wei’s arm in her hand!

"Speak if you have something to say! No need for hands!"

"Uh!" Lu Wei immediately understood the relationship between the two people outside the door, feeling a bit embarrassed but still whispered the truth, "Well, my mom is in the living room! Can we not mention Qian Duoduo, please?!"

"What happened?" As soon as she heard Lu Wei say this, Zhen Yu sensed something unusual. "You were still fine when she called after I gave her money on New Year’s day, right?!"

"After you called that weekend... my mom found out," Lu Wei said with an unhappy look on his face.

Zhen Yu’s heart also started sinking, "So?"

"My mom went to Teacher Qian’s house and made a scene! I, we," the rest of the words seemed to get stuck in Lu Wei’s throat, and he just couldn’t say them.

Zhen Yu didn’t need him to say anything to understand—obviously the two had been forced to break up.

"Lu Wei? Who’s that at the door? Why are you talking for so long?!" A girl’s voice came from inside.

It was then Lu Wei remembered to ask Zhen Yu, "Are you here looking for Lu Mei?"

"No! We’re here to find Factory Director Lu!" Zhen Yu replied while glancing into the room.

After hearing her, Lu Wei paused for a moment before letting the two inside, then continued.

Realizing whom Zhen Yu was looking for, he couldn’t help but express his surprise, "What do you need my second uncle for?!"

Zhen Yu responded with a question instead of an answer, "Is Factory Director Lu at home?"

"He is! He’s just talking to my dad!" In fact, Lu Wei didn’t really want to pry, but seeing that Zhen Yu wouldn’t say, he led them straight into the house.

——

"Second uncle! These people are here to see you!" Walking past the partition to the couch, Lu Wei immediately shouted towards the direction of the north window! After shouting, he then turned his head and dove into a bedroom located on the left side of the security door.

"Looking for me?" Factory Director Lu immediately got up from the couch, thinking it might be a friend who had come to the house!

But then...

"Are you Factory Director Lu? Hello! I’m Zhen Yu!"

Factory Director Lu looked puzzled at Zhen Yu, who was giving him a polite greeting. Is this... is this a student?! She looks to be about the same age as his own daughter! What is she looking for him for? Is she here on behalf of her parents?

"Whose kids are you? Are you looking for me regarding the factory?"

Zhen Yu smiled and nodded, "Indeed, it’s about the factory! Can we sit down to discuss?"

Factory Director Lu let out a resigned chuckle, "Heh, sit down! Let’s talk while seated."

After sitting back down, Zhen Yu spoke first. "Factory Director Lu, I want to ask you about the current state of Snowflake Milk Factory. Is it possible to acquire it?"

"Acquire?!" Factory Director Lu was startled at the question. "Who wants to acquire it? Is it you?!"

The middle-aged man sitting beside Factory Director Lu also looked stunned, and then he began to scrutinize Zhen Yu carefully.

Zhen Yu smiled slightly, her next words filled with brazen confidence. "Heroes often come from the youth! Don’t judge by appearances, please? That’s right! It’s me! I came here today to find out how much money it would take to acquire a milk factory!"

After hearing her, Factory Director Lu exchanged a glance with his older brother, but then he suddenly asked something completely unrelated to the previous topic. "Have you reached the age of eighteen yet?"

"Not yet!" Zhen Yu quickly responded without any hesitation, "I can register the factory under my brother’s name!"

Factory Director Lu and his brother looked at Han Mingyue at the same time, having been silent since entering.

Han Mingyue: "..."

I am not her brother! Not!

——

"Um... So the situation is that Snowflake Milk Factory is deeply in debt and on the verge of closing down." With a ’grasp at straws’ mentality, Factory Director Lu started speaking. "Many state-owned enterprises are undergoing shareholding reform, and the milk factory is no exception! A few old friends and I at the factory are intending to buy some shares, but the intention from above is to privatize Snowflake Milk Factory entirely! We don’t have enough funds, and indeed we’re currently worried about this situation... My brother and I were just discussing buying shares in the milk factory!"

Zhen Yu’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this!

It would be great to have a partnership! She only had one million in capital to use, and she was indeed afraid that it might not be enough. Moreover, if she were to buy the whole factory herself, she’d need to recruit various professionals to manage and produce...

But cooperating with the milk factory’s management team would eliminate all these worries!

This was like unexpectedly finding a pillow when wanting to sleep! Zhen Yu really wanted to laugh out loud three times to express her joy!

Unfortunately, she couldn’t do that, nor could she behave like that in someone else’s house!

So, she immediately followed up, "How much funding are you short of now? How many shares are left? If it’s suitable, I want them all! How about we cooperate?"

"Are you serious?!" Factory Director Lu was somewhat shocked by the audacity of the young lady in front of him, but he was more skeptical of Zhen Yu’s capabilities! Does she really have that much money?!

Not only having money but also having the final say, what did this young lady’s parents do?!

Factory Director Lu’s disbelief was quite obvious, so Zhen Yu lowered her gaze, thought for a moment, then looked up and said directly, "How about this! I’ll leave my personal information with you, and you can take one week to investigate me! After a week, I’ll visit again, how does that sound?"
