Chapter 132 - Chapter 132 - 132: Visiting to Collect a Debt (2/2)

Hou Jianchang had a clear grasp on these figures, “There are four orders in total, the cost has already been covered, and it’s all waiting in the warehouse. We can deliver in ten days!”

“Right now, all it takes is two hundred and eighty thousand to keep the factory running smoothly for ten days.”

At this point, Hou Jianchang looked at the workers around him, “But to pay the workers their overdue wages requires more than seven hundred thousand.”

“Mr. Hou, it’s less than half a month’s wages, you don’t need to worry about that.”

Someone shouted out, and all the workers echoed in agreement.

Chen Yu raised his hand to gesture for silence, and the place quickly quieted down.

“Everyone, I am now in a partnership with Mr. Hou, and I won’t lay off any of you. Your salaries will still be paid in full each month, as before. All you need to do right now is return to your posts and continue working.”

Cheers erupted on the spot.

For these disabled workers, it was likely that apart from Hou Jianchang’s place, they had nowhere else to go.

If they left here, they might not have any support for the rest of their lives.

The factory being able to operate normally was an enormous piece of good news for them.

Chen Yu then transferred three hundred thousand to Hou Jianchang.

“Mr. Hou, remember, you only have ten days! I will be assessing the entire factory during these ten days while also making some modifications. After ten days, I need the factory to be capable of producing new products.”

Hou Jianchang nodded excitedly and wrote Chen Yu a receipt.

By the time Chen Yu and Tong Ya returned to the shop, it was already afternoon.

Usually, the flow of people in the shop would gradually decrease at this time, but today it was still packed, mostly with travel groups from out of town.

They must have seen the anime and come here to check in.

As soon as Chen Yu entered, a few self-media journalists approached him.

“Are you the owner of this shop? You really are handsome! Is your life really like what’s depicted in the comics?”

“Can you talk about how you managed to go from a small food cart to such a big shop in such a short time?”

“Where’s your daughter? We would like to interview her and also invite her to be an ambassador for our children’s clothing line.”

…

Chen Yu frowned. Although these self-media questions seemed normal, they were somewhat wishful thinking.

Comics are adaptations, not a reflection of his real life, plus he had the support of the system.

No matter what, he wasn’t about to let Tuan Tuan become an endorser so easily, as if he couldn’t afford to support his daughter.

After politely greeting them, Chen Yu took Tong Ya next door to the car shop.

“Zhang Fan, I have a big job for you, I’m not sure you can handle it.”

Zhang Fan was lying underneath a truck and quickly slid out after hearing Chen Yu speak.

“What’s the big job?”

“I need to build a batch of large machines and was hoping you could help!” Chen Yu took out some comparative drawings of certain parts.

Zhang Fan took a look and immediately became excited.

“This really is a big job, but with dimensions like these, we’ll need a professional machinery factory. I can put you in touch—how soon do you need them?”

Chen Yu thought for a moment, “The sooner the better, within ten days ideally!”

Zhang Fan shook his head, “The machines you need are too large, I doubt we can rush them out in ten days, unless we get several machinery factories to work on it simultaneously, but that’s going to be quite expensive.”
