After a moment of distraction, Fei Hu said, "Don't worry about where I am right now. Just tell me, did something happen?"
"Yes, my factory is about to go bankrupt. It looks like I won't be able to recover over a million. This is the hard-earned money of my sisters; I feel like I could die from despair. What should I do?" A-Lian was nearly in tears.
It was indeed a serious situation. Fei Hu sighed in relief and gently asked, "Take your time and explain what happened."
"The boss I've been supplying suddenly ran away. His factory was taken over by someone else, and the new boss doesn't recognize our accounts. What should we do?" A-Lian sounded completely lost.
Fei Hu held the phone and thought for a moment before comforting A-Lian, "Don't panic. I'm currently in Shanghang and should arrive in A City by this afternoon. Once I get there, we can discuss it further."
A-Lian's mood noticeably improved after hearing this. After hanging up, Fei Hu quickly tidied up her room, grabbed her bag, and went downstairs to check out.
The hotel had excellent service facilities; as soon as she stepped outside, she took a taxi straight to the long-distance bus station.
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, Fei Hu arrived at A-Lian's factory with a large backpack. Her arrival brought life back to the previously quiet factory.
In A-Lian's office, everyone was seated, seemingly having stopped work. The usually lively and mischievous Xiao Qi had suddenly become quite subdued. When Fei Hu saw A-Lian, she could hardly believe her eyes; in just over a month since they last met, A-Lian seemed like a different person. She was dressed very casually and wore no makeup, especially noticeable were the dark circles under her eyes, suggesting she hadn't slept well for several days.
"Everyone, let's perk up! There's no river we can't cross. Xiao Qi, I see that everyone hasn't eaten yet. Take a few people out to buy some boxed lunches. Actually, I haven't eaten either. We can eat while discussing things; we'll find a solution. Where can he run off to? Unless he goes to the moon, then I really wouldn't know how to deal with him," Fei Hu laughed heartily, instantly lifting the atmosphere in the room.
Xiao Qi called a few sisters to go buy food while Fei Hu insisted on giving her two hundred yuan. Everyone present felt deeply moved by Fei Hu's generosity.
Once seated, A-Lian remembered to pour Fei Hu a glass of water. With red-rimmed eyes, she said, "I'm so sorry to trouble you with everything and make you rush back without lunch. Will this delay your work?"
"It's fine. First, tell me about your situation here. Once I understand everything clearly, we can come up with a plan together. There's no need to rush; when problems arise, we just need to solve them," Fei Hu said reassuringly. However, deep down she was still anxious; over a million was not a small amount—this was the hard work of these people for more than a year that could vanish just like that. Moreover, she had invested twenty thousand yuan into it.
Hearing Fei Hu's words eased A-Lian's mood slightly as she let out a sigh of relief and slowly explained, "Rongxin Company is our biggest client; we supply all our gloves to them. At first, we settled accounts every three months, but later it became six months. We didn't want to lose such an important client and kept accommodating them. Unexpectedly, a few days ago they called us and said to stop supplying goods because their boss has changed and they no longer want our products."
"That's really ridiculous. Just one word, and they say no? Let's all go to their company and deal with this new Boss!" A woman standing behind A-Lian suddenly exclaimed.
A-Lian waved her hand to silence her and continued, "As soon as I heard, I rushed over. Indeed, almost all the staff at Rongxin Company have been replaced. The new Boss doesn't even talk to me; he had his secretary speak to me instead. They said the Boss has changed, and the one who owes us money is Boss Hong. I should just contact Boss Hong. Also, their company has terminated our cooperation, plain and simple. When I went back, the security wouldn't let me in."
Fei Hu thought for a moment and asked A-Lian, "Is the current Rongxin Company a new company registered by Zeng Xin, or is it still using the original name?"
"They only changed the Boss and the staff; everything else remains the same," A-Lian replied firmly.
Fei Hu couldn't help but curse, "They think they can play tricks like this? If they think they can get away with it, they're dreaming. If we can't resolve this, we'll go through legal channels. Can the law not handle them?" As he spoke, Fei Hu stood up, his stomach growling.
"No way. If we go through legal procedures, we're guaranteed to win 100 percent, but it will take too long and drain us financially. These people have factories and equipment that cost money every day. By the time a judgment comes down, all the money we could recover will be gone," A-Lian said sadly, lowering her head.
Fei Hu completely understood her feelings at that moment. A woman leading a group of women had fought hard through thick and thin to save the factory, only to face such a situation now—anyone would find it unbearable.
Just then, the boxed lunches that Xiao Qi and the others had ordered arrived. Fei Hu urged everyone to eat first while he dialed Ye Xiaofei's number. As soon as the call connected, Fei Hu said, "Xiaofei, can you do me a favor?"
"Wow, you're asking for help? What's up?" Ye Xiaofei replied casually; she might have been busy.
Fei Hu organized his thoughts and explained A-Lian's factory situation over the phone. Feeling it wasn't enough weighty, he added, "These are my friends who helped during the Annual Meeting."
On the other end of the line, Ye Xiaofei paused for over a minute as if she were thinking hard. Meanwhile, Fei Hu was getting anxious; he feared she would outright refuse to help.
Everyone noticed Fei Hu's tense expression as they stopped eating and watched him intently. The office fell into a heavy silence with no sound at all. Holding his phone tightly, Fei Hu felt sweat beginning to form.
"How about this: you have them send samples to our procurement department. If the quality is acceptable, then we can have them supply our labor protection products. You know there are quite a few subsidiaries under Sheng Wei; if they can do well, it could basically save them," Ye Xiaofei finally spoke on the phone.
Upon hearing this news, Fei Hu was overjoyed and quickly shouted into the receiver, "Thank you!"
"Don't rush to thank me. First, tell me, have you returned to City A?" Ye Xiaofei's voice changed, and Fei Hu couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. Did he return at the wrong time?
Holding the phone tightly, Fei Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I just arrived not long ago."
"Then don't go back to your place tonight. Come over tomorrow," Ye Xiaofei said before quickly hanging up. Fei Hu shook his head helplessly; this woman was too formidable.
"What's going on? Hurry up and tell us. If you don't speak, we can't eat this meal," said Xiao Qi, who had been silent, handing a box of takeout to Fei Hu with eyes full of anticipation.
Fei Hu let out a sigh and shared Ye Xiaofei's decision over the phone with everyone. Instantly, the entire office erupted in excitement. When these women got worked up, it was truly hard to believe. First was Xiao Qi; she suddenly lunged forward, hugged Fei Hu, and planted a kiss on his cheek. This led to chaos as all the other women followed suit, each wanting to kiss Fei Hu. This was a first for him.
Over twenty people kissed Fei Hu's face, leaving it covered in saliva. Finally, only A-Lian remained seated without moving. Xiao Qi was not having it; she shouted, "Fei Hu has done such a huge favor for our factory; Boss should show some appreciation!"
Everyone chimed in unison: "Boss, give us a kiss! Boss, give us a kiss!" The chorus continued endlessly. A-Lian blushed, stood up, walked over to Fei Hu, and gave him a firm kiss on his left cheek. This kiss left the deepest impression on Fei Hu.
Once everyone quieted down, Fei Hu smiled and said, "Don't celebrate too early. They want to see the quality of your products. If the quality doesn't meet standards, no one can save you."
"Haha, don't worry about that. Our product quality is the best among our peers because we're just starting out and don't know how to cut corners yet," A-Lian confidently replied.
Fei Hu suddenly thought of Bald Zhang. With such a big issue at A-Lian's factory, why hadn't he seen him? Fei Hu couldn't help but ask A-Lian, "What has Bald Zhang been busy with lately? Why haven't I seen him?"
A-Lian sighed and said, "Don't ask about him; that useless guy got caught sleeping with someone else's girl and was beaten up by her boyfriend. Now he's in the hospital recovering from his injuries. He's been looking for you these past few days." Hearing this, Fei Hu shook his head helplessly.
