Chapter 181 But do good deeds
"Whatever the head office says, President Li says, it doesn't work," Zhu Wangang said helplessly. "This case has been escalated, and our bank no longer has the authority. Ask President Cui to find a connection with the head office. It's useless to ask us anyway."

Cui Changjia was very annoyed. She had gone to great lengths to owe such a large loan just for this batch of things from the old factory, but she didn't expect something to go wrong at the last minute!

But she couldn't show her anger, and said, "Leader, can you tell me who is in charge at the head office now? I want to ask what the situation is."

"I can tell you who it is, but you have to understand that this matter has nothing to do with our bank anymore."

Cui Changjia said quickly, "Don't worry, I will never say that you told me."

Zhu Wangang told Cui Changjia that it was Director Huo Xingzhong of the Settlement Department of the Head Office.

Cui Changjia left Zhu Wangang two boxes of oranges that he bought yesterday. Zhu Wangang felt that he had not helped Cui Changjia and refused to take them. Cui Changjia threw the oranges to him and ran away.

Cui Changjia stopped the car after it had driven one street away. She was very frustrated. It was clearly a done deal, so why did it fail again?

Cui Changjia called Cui Xiuyuan to report. Cui Xiuyuan was also surprised. He had the same idea as Cui Changjia. If someone had already set their eyes on that batch of things, they would have done it a long time ago. Why did they have to wait until now?

"Jia Jia, I don't know Director Huo, but I know other people in the head office. I'll call him first to see if I can ask him if I can use his connections to meet Director Huo."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your call."

Cui Changjia, who was sitting in the car, looked very unhappy. At this point, there was nothing she could do and she could only wait for her brother's call.

Everyone is happy when things go well, but it is really hard to get emotional when things don't go well. So during the time when Cui Changjia was waiting for Cui Xiuyuan to call back, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

Since they started working on the loan until yesterday, both Cui Wenquan and Cui Xiuyuan were extremely happy, not because the things in the old factory were actually worth more than 600,000 yuan, but more because of the emotion.

After all, they bought it bit by bit, big machines, small equipment... every one of them is the result of their hard work!
At some point, the weather started to become gloomy. The weather forecast said that there might be heavy snow in the next week. Moreover, it was already the twelfth lunar month, and soon all departments and industries would be on holiday. Cui Changjia thought to herself that it seemed that her plan would most likely fail before the New Year.

If it really doesn't work, Cui Changjia thought, she would ask Zhou Qingyan for help. Anyway, she owed him a favor, so she could pay it back when the time comes. But before that, she had to figure out what was going on.

About half an hour later, Cui Xiuyuan called back.

"Vice President Wang said that the head office did not deliberately escalate the case. Someone was dissatisfied with the branch's private handling of the materials. Even President Li and his colleagues might be punished, and they were required to follow the formal bidding process."

She asked Cui Xiuyuan, "Does that mean we're still going to auction off the things from our old factory?"

Cui Xiuyuan said, "Yes, conduct an internal auction."

Cui Changjia said irritably, "The bidding is unpredictable. If someone raises a bid, we have to pay more if we want it. What if the other party deliberately raises the price? Should we take advantage of this trap or not?"

Cui Xiuyuan calmly analyzed, "There are only two possibilities for this kind of thing. One is that President Li has offended someone and someone wants to find fault with him. The other is that someone is targeting us. I just contacted President Li and he said that he had given up on promotion a long time ago and now he doesn't have much power. It's unlikely that someone wants to target him, so the problem is most likely with us."

"What did Dad say?" "Dad means that this matter ends here, and we should not worry about redeeming the old factory materials."

Their family had gone through so many hardships before they were able to settle down, and the children had already shouldered enough. Cui Wenquan didn't want to see his children running around and getting into trouble everywhere.

Cui Changjia understood her father's decision, but she couldn't swallow it. "Brother, what do you think?"

Cui Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "Even if I can't win the fight, I still want to know who is targeting us. If we give up this time, what if the other party comes up with another way to target us? Do we have to hide every time?"

After listening to her brother's words, Cui Changjia's troubles were relieved a lot. Fortunately, her brother did not give up his pursuit of the truth, and from this incident, it can be seen that her brother's working state is back!

"Brother, I'm going to the Bank of China's head office to find Director Huo and ask him what's going on."

"You can't get in without someone familiar to take you there. I'll call Vice President Wang."

"Don't fight yet. I'll go contact him myself and tell him I heard the news and I want this batch of supplies too. Ask him how to go through the process and then get more information."

Cui Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if we can't find him, then we can discuss how to deal with him."

After hanging up the phone, Cui Changjia felt much calmer. If there was a problem, just deal with it. It was no big deal. The worst result was that the batch of supplies would be abandoned!
Cui Changjia then drove to the Bank of China head office. When she arrived at the lobby of the head office, she went straight to Director Huo from the settlement department to ask about the asset auction.

The lobby clerk asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

Cui Changjia said directly, "He asked me to go directly to his office, but I forgot which office it was."

"Then come with me."

Cui Changjia didn't expect it to be so smooth. He was actually taken to the second floor by the lobby staff and said, "The third one is the settlement office. Go there by yourself."

"Thank you."

Cui Changjia had already prepared to be "shameless", so she didn't feel nervous or timid when she knocked on the door and waited outside. When the door opened, she went straight to the young man in his early thirties wearing a bank uniform who opened the door and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Director Huo. I want to consult about the auction of materials from an old factory."

The young man looked at Cui Changjia with a strange look and said, "Come in first."

Cui Changjia was surprised that this person's attitude was so friendly, "Thank you."

The young man asked Cui Changjia to sit down, took a disposable cup and filled it with water for her, and handed it to her, saying, "Director Huo hasn't come this morning yet. Which unit are you from?"

Cui Changjia quickly took the water and said, "I'm from Zeyuan Office Furniture. I want to consult about the old factory materials in Cui's Furniture Store."

The young man took Cui Changjia's business card, looked down at it, and said excitedly, "Were you also stuck on the highway on that day when it snowed heavily in early December?"
