The vicious female supporting role is posted in the opposite direction by the cub

A profound sense of absurdity and a bursting hope nearly suffocated him.

Less than five minutes later, Lei Ran's phone started ringing incessantly.

His hands trembled as he answered the phone. A hurried, even fearful voice came through: "Hello? Manager Lei? This is Wang Ming from the Ocean Bureau! Oh dear, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! You know Director Zhao, why didn't you say so earlier? It's a sea area renewal application, right? Hurry up! Send the materials over right away! No, no, no, where are you? I'll send someone to pick it up! Immediately! I'll get it done right away! I guarantee it will be renewed for you before the end of the day!"

Director Wang's voice was loud and obsequious, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present through the microphone.

Yan Yueqing raised her chin at Lei Ran: "Manager Lei, didn't I ask you to arrange for someone to deliver the materials last night? There was no need for Director Wang to actually make this trip, was there?"

Lei Ran was a little embarrassed. The information was readily available, but he was heartbroken last night and had no idea that President Yan would be so powerful.

Xiao Qi, who was in charge of sales, noticed that Manager Lei was nervous and quickly said, "President Yan, Manager Lei arranged for me to go! I'll go now, right away!"

He grabbed the application materials that had been prepared on the table and practically stumbled out of the meeting room.

Xiao Qi was quick, and his smile showed not only the joy of helping Lei Jing out of the predicament, but also the excitement of seeing hope!
"The third point we discussed last night, insufficient funds?" Yan Yueqing turned her gaze to the still-stunned crowd and calmly asked, "Who is the accountant? Did you bring the ledgers?"

Old Zhang jumped up in shock, stammering nervously, "Mr. Yan, it's me, Accountant Zhang. The ledgers and everything are ready—"

Yan Yueqing raised her head towards Jun Jiu: "How long will it take?"

"Using the newly developed software from Junjia, it takes about an hour to obtain fifteen years of basic data."

"Okay." Yan Yueqing's voice was calm and even. "Accountant Zhang, go and hand over the work to Jun Jiu."

Old Zhang nodded blankly.

One hour? Fifteen years of baseline data?

what?
They probably weren't talking about account books, were they?
He'd been an accountant for decades, and he knew all too well how complicated bookkeeping was!
When General Manager Yan first took over the company, he was able to review the company's accounts for the past fifteen years using a newly developed software?
Is it really that exaggerated?

He approached with suspicion, carrying a thick stack of ledgers: "Mr. Jun, these are fifteen years of handwritten ledgers. They were also transferred to a USB drive last year after they were digitized..."

Jun Jiu had already set up the silver equipment, and the screen lit up with a faint blue light, forming a 3D visualization area: "Give me the USB drive, and put the paper in the scanning area."

With a soft "beep," the device automatically flipped through the pages and began scanning.

The ledgers, dozens of volumes thick, were placed on the machine, which flipped through them rapidly, faster than reading ten lines at a glance.

Meanwhile, the data on the USB drive was being imported into the computer at lightning speed. Jun Jiu's fingertips moved rapidly in the air, and countless data streams converged into dynamic charts on the screen.

"This...this is an inventory turnover rate curve?!" Old Zhang suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the screen. "I spent three sleepless nights over the past two months calculating this number!"

Young cashier Xiao Jiang gasped: "Even the bad debt provision ratio is highlighted in red! Uncle Zhang, didn't you say this was the most time-consuming part?"

For people who can't understand financial statements, looking at the dense data on the screen is bound to make them dizzy!

But now, in this small office, no one shows the slightest sign of boredom or fatigue.

Everyone watched with great interest as the new technology rapidly analyzed the company's financial situation over the past ten years, occasionally whispering a few words.

Someone murmured, "With this technology... the company can definitely turn things around!"

Previous doubts about Yan Yueqing have vanished in the face of new technology.

An hour later, Jun Jiu calmly reported the figures: "Gross profit margins for the past three years: 18.2%, 5.7%, and -31.4%. The cash flow breakpoint occurred eight months ago." The corresponding voucher page image popped up on the screen simultaneously.

“All correct…” Old Zhang’s fingers dug into the cover of the ledger. “It took me two weeks to figure out the whole picture!”

Xiao Jiang suddenly smiled wryly: "Uncle Zhang, the amount of work this software can do in an hour is enough for us to calculate for half a year, right?"

Old Zhang looked at Yan Yueqing, his Adam's apple bobbing: "President Yan, with this technology... shouldn't we old accountants be laid off?"

"On the contrary." Yan Yueqing tapped the screen with her fingertip, and the debt chart instantly lit up. "Only traditional experience combined with real-time data can save Haixing."

She paused, then added, "So you're now in charge of all the passwords and keys for the company's bank accounts?"

"Yes...yes, Mr. Yan! But...but there's no money left in the account! Not a single penny!"

"Don't be nervous, sit down and talk." Yan Yueqing gestured for him to sit down, then turned to Jun Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, bring up the ES Bank corporate account interface. Accountant Zhang, give me your highest authorized account number."

Old Zhang stammered out a long string of numbers.

Jun Jiu quickly operated the tablet, then pushed it in front of Yan Yueqing and Old Zhang.

Yan Yueqing extended her index finger and pressed it on a spot on the tablet that required both fingerprint and iris verification, while looking at the iris scanner on the screen.

The money arrived in ten seconds.

When Old Zhang heard the text message notification, he instinctively leaned closer to the screen. When he saw the balance number representing the main account of Haixing Company, his pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size!
The length of that string of numbers... far exceeded his imagination!
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. Then he gasped sharply and his body fell backward uncontrollably, but luckily he was stopped by the back of the chair next to him.

“Mr. Yan… Mr. Yan… this… this… this…” He pointed at the long string of dizzying zeros on the screen, his tongue completely tied, unable to utter a single word.

That was a huge sum of money he'd never dared to dream of, even after a lifetime as a junior accountant! And it was just lying there quietly in the company's previously empty account?!
Yan Yueqing seemed oblivious to his lapse in composure, her tone remaining as calm as if she were ordering food: "The principal and interest on the bank mortgage loan up to today must be paid in full before the end of the day. Within three days, settle all outstanding employee wages, paying three times the standard rate. The timeframe is calculated from the day Manager Lei took over and the outstanding wages began. You can verify the specific list and amounts with Manager Lei… All payments to suppliers, including Hongxin Feed Factory, including principal and interest, must be completed within seven days. Furthermore, allocate special funds from the account to immediately purchase the highest quality feed, ensuring the farm is fed today, and stockpile enough for a month's maximum demand…"

With each point Yan Yueqing made, Old Zhang's face gained more color. By the end, his wrinkled face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance and energy!

"If time is too tight, I can arrange for someone to help you?"

"No need, no need! I'll take care of it right away! I guarantee it will all be completed within the stipulated time!" Old Zhang's voice was loud and clear, full of strength. He grabbed the old-fashioned calculator and ledgers on the table, his movements as swift as the wind, and rushed out of the conference room, as if he had instantly become twenty years younger!

He wants to settle accounts! He wants to receive payment!
He wanted everyone to know that the starfish had come back to life!
Yan Yueqing's gaze finally landed on Xiao Wang, who had been in a daze, and Lao Fang, who was trying to process everything in front of him.

"Xiao Wang." Wang Yan was called out, and she stood up straight with a start.

“Your task—” Yan Yueqing looked at her, “is to immediately contact the distributors with whom you previously terminated your cooperation and tell them that Haixing will not go bankrupt, that we have the most abundant funds and the best products. We are willing to renegotiate the previous contracts, on the condition that they settle accounts according to the newly established, more reasonable market price. Those who are willing can continue to cooperate. Those who are unwilling should be listed, and new channels will be available to replace them later.”

"Second, prepare the highest quality shellfish and grouper samples. I will give you the contact information for the international trading group 'Blue Ocean Source' later. Send them the samples and all our quality inspection reports. Tell them that we are seeking long-term, stable, and high-end cooperation. Whether you can close the deal depends on your capabilities."

Xiao Wang was completely stunned when he heard Yan Yueqing's clear and decisive instructions, especially when he heard "Blue Ocean Source, a top international seafood trading group".

That was a channel that small companies like theirs would never have dared to dream of before! President Yan actually managed to connect with them directly?!
The immense shock left her mind blank, only instinctive excitement remaining: "Yes! President Yan! I'll get on it right away! I'll contact them immediately!"

After saying that, he ran out almost simultaneously, his face showing a mixture of ecstasy and disbelief.

Finally, there was Qin Tian, ​​the main person in charge of the farm, and Lao Fang, the warehouse manager.

Qin Tian spoke first: "President Yan, the shellfish deaths were very sudden! We tested the water quality and found nothing wrong. We suspect it's a new pathogen or toxins in the bottom sediment, which requires in-depth testing by a professional organization. The grouper mainly died from a four-day lack of feed, coupled with aging equipment and insufficient oxygen supply, which caused a stress response that led to the problem..."

“Okay.” Yan Yueqing nodded, dialed the second number, and said in fluent English, “Dr. William, I need the best marine pathologist and aquatic emergency response expert from your team to come to Huaguo Haidu on the next flight. I will send you the coordinates and preliminary situation report now. Priorities: diagnose and control the mass shellfish mortality event and stabilize the stressed fish population. Budget is unlimited. I need a preliminary assessment within 24 hours of landing.”

The other party agreed very readily.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yueqing said, "Solving technical problems takes time, but with the experts and money in place, we have a direction. Repair what needs repairing, replace what needs replacing, and immediately restore the bait supply to minimize losses. I'll give you one hour to prepare all the necessary documents. Once the experts arrive, you'll be in charge of the entire process, helping them find the root cause of the problem. All expenses and material needs of the expert team can be applied for directly from Accountant Zhang, and will be reimbursed based on actual costs, without needing approval."

"An expert team?! An international team?!" Qin Tian was completely stunned, followed by indescribable excitement and elation!
International experts have come to save his fish?! He's saved! The fish farm is saved!
This new boss is simply a god descended from heaven!
"President Yan, I...I've noted it all down! I have all the information! I'll go organize it right away! It'll be done soon!" Qin Tian's voice was loud and clear, filled with excitement at being valued and understood. After speaking, he immediately rushed out in a flurry of activity.

The remaining few people looked at the excessively young woman in front of them, feeling as if they were dreaming!
In less than two hours, all the mountains weighing down on the starfish were moved away?!

Bankruptcy liquidation? Postponed indefinitely!

Is the renewal of maritime zone permits a dead end? A ministerial director issues a direct order, and the district bureau is begging for help!
Debt and cash flow collapse? Astronomical sums of money arrive instantly!

Aquaculture technology crisis? A team of top international experts rushes to the rescue!
If Lei Ran had any doubts about Yan Yueqing before, after all this, he just wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

Jun Jiu answered a phone call, still sporting that carefree smile, but now anyone looking at him would only think—what a serious man at work! What a charming assistant!
"Mr. Yue, all instructions have been issued simultaneously. ES Bank's fund flow monitoring is normal, the freeze order has been confirmed to be in effect and has been communicated to the court, and we have received feedback from Secretary Shi and Director Zhao. The renewal of the sea area permit is expected to be completed this afternoon. We have contacted the liaisons for 'Blue Ocean Source' and 'International Marine Biological Disease Prevention and Control Center,' and the relevant materials and requirements have been sent. They have indicated that they will immediately assemble a team and arrive on time this afternoon."

"Hmm." Yan Yueqing responded, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dilapidated factory area outside.

The reversed light shone on her hair, giving her a serene and resilient look.

She continued, "Lei Ran, once the marine area renewal is completed, start recruiting immediately. Recruit professional talent, especially in aquaculture technology and trade. Salaries and benefits will be 150% of the highest industry standards. Also, contact an engineering company to come for an on-site inspection tomorrow. I need to see a plan for the factory renovation and environmental remediation within a week."

"I understand." Lei Ran was so moved that she almost cried.

Yan Yueqing's gaze fell upon the distant sea that had once been shrouded in despair... but now, in her eyes, it was like a rough gem waiting to be polished.

She gazed intently, as if she could see through the desolation before her and sketch out a brand-new blueprint.

After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look at the farm." She turned around and walked out with steady steps, as if the storm that had just stirred up huge waves in everyone's hearts was nothing more than a dust being swept away for her.

But Lei Ran knew all too well that the fate of Haixing Company had been completely rewritten at this moment.

While they were at the farm, news of the new boss's arrival spread like wildfire among the company's remaining employees and their families.

"What? The sea area permit renewal...it's approved?! It's done today?!"

"The wages... have all been paid?! And all the owed wages have been paid?!"

"Damn! My money's in! Wait a minute—it seems like I received too much?"

"The bank loan has been repaid? We don't have to go bankrupt?!"

"International experts are coming to save our fish and shellfish?!"

After the unbelievable discussion, there was a deathly silence, followed by an overwhelming sense of elation and sobs.

Many of the long-term employees who had packed their bags and were ready to leave put down their burdens and spontaneously returned to the company.

Instead of rushing to Yan Yueqing's office, they quietly picked up tools and began clearing the overgrown weeds around the company, wiping the dusty windows, and tidying up the messy warehouse... expressing their gratitude for surviving the ordeal and their renewed hope for the future with the simplest of actions.

The situation at the farm was worse than expected. When Yan Yueqing led a group of people on a tour back to the office, they ran into Xiao Qi, who was rushing back.

He returned with the newly issued, bright red-stamped renewal permit for the sea area, only to find that the company had undergone a complete transformation in just a few hours! (End of Chapter)
