Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 27 Then I will give you a favor!
A little after eight the next morning, Cao Yukun arrived at the beverage factory on time. As he was going upstairs, he heard people talking in some office on the first floor.

Oh, the Commonwealth of Independent States consisting of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine was established yesterday.

Sure enough, this means that the big process has already begun?

There should be less than 20 days left until the final disintegration!

After standing there for a while, Cao Yukun went upstairs. As soon as he arrived at the office, before he had time to look at the documents he needed to approve today, he suddenly received a call from Huang Jiaying.

She said, "Would you like to come over for a run today?"

Cao Yukun was surprised, "Running? Why do you want to run in the city?"

Huang Jiaying was speechless for a moment before she said, "What running? I meant to use my connections... to get a loan!"

"oh oh……"

Cao Yukun suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Why do we need to run again? Didn't Director Zhou already agree?"

Huang Jiaying said, "It's not just him who agrees! The necessary procedures must be followed! Risk assessment, asset assessment, and various reviews, do you think he can approve it just because he's the director? There are seven or eight procedures to get a loan approved! Although as long as he agrees, there will definitely be no problem in the end, but there is still a time issue! Any procedure will take you ten days or half a month, isn't it a small matter? Many times, even Director Zhou is not convenient to urge this link, do you understand?"

Cao Yukun immediately understood.

In fact, as long as he was sure that the loan could be released, he was not in a hurry. He had his own timetable - the stock subscription certificate should be issued in early January, so for him, as long as he could get the loan by the end of December, it would be enough! There was no need to rush for it a few days earlier or later!

But from what Huang Jiaying said, if I don't send gifts to each link, this matter might even be delayed for two or three months - so I better go!
Listen to others and eat enough.

After hanging up the phone and saying hello to the office director Tao Mingqi, he drove straight to Fuping County.

Huang Jiaying is an insider and comes from a banking family. So, even though she has only been working for half a year, she is very familiar with the internal operating procedures. With her suggestions and recommendations, things are not difficult to handle.

After going to the county department store to do some shopping and coming back to take a quick walk around their office floor, everything was basically done. Everyone was very happy - two ladies each bought a big-brand scarf worth two or three hundred yuan, and six men each bought a high-end tea gift box of similar price.

Director Zhou, on the other hand, gave both.

In fact, it has not reached the level of bribery, but the amount of money is indeed not small.

In this era, the monthly income of an ordinary worker is generally around 84 yuan. Cao Yukun was a temporary worker in the car team before, earning 5 yuan a month, while a regular worker only earns 104 yuan. His father Cao Weiguo is the deputy director and a section-level cadre, earning only 148 yuan a month.

And after going through this whole process, it cost a total of nearly three thousand!
After they finished their rounds and returned downstairs, Cao Yukun took out the remaining scarves and tea from the car and handed them to Huang Jiaying. Huang Jiaying smiled and said, "I told you that no matter how bad your grades are, you can't be so confused about this. I clearly counted with my fingers how many boys and girls there were, but no matter how I calculated, I felt that you must have bought one too many! It turns out you're still thinking about me!"

She took it and smiled happily, "Okay, I have also worked hard, so just accept it!"

He couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and look at Cao Yukun, "It's strange, with your little cleverness, you are much better than that idiot Huang Jiapeng. Why did you foolishly beat Zhang Weimin?"

"Look, isn't this a good idea? And you're quite obedient! Last time you accompanied Lao Zhou for dinner, and this time you gave me a gift, I think you're quite smart, I really can't figure out what you were thinking at the time!" Cao Yukun could only laugh, and didn't make any excuses for what happened at the time. He just waited until Huang Jiaying had enjoyed the two things in her hand enough before saying with a smile: "I see that you seem to be quite free today, and it just so happens that I don't have anything to do today. It's almost noon today, how about I treat you to a delicious meal to make you happier?"

Huang Jiaying couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard that.

Turning her head to glance at Cao Yukun, she thought for a moment and said with a particularly cute and tsundere look, "Alright... OK! Since you are still sincere, I will give you a favor!"

…………

When the two of them got into the car, chatting and laughing, she picked up the mobile phone that the factory had just given Cao Yukun two days ago, played with it for a while, and said to him, "I think you have a phone call here?"

Nowadays, a mobile phone is a very high-end gadget. No matter whether you are a big or small boss, carrying a mobile phone with you wherever you go is a matter of face. When you eat, you can take it out and stick it on the table. Even the waiters will be extra polite to you and provide more considerate service.

However, Cao Yukun obviously didn't think much of this thing. It was a bit novel when he first got it, but it became boring after ten minutes. When he went out driving, he usually threw this thing into the armrest box.

Huang Jiaying, on the other hand, liked it very much at first sight. She would play with it for a while during the ride in the car, asking questions like a little girl - well, of course, in fact she was still a little girl.

I just graduated from junior college half a year ago and I’m only twenty-one years old.

The car stopped again just after it started. Cao Yukun took the big brick-like object from her hand, turned it over, and saw that there was indeed a missed call. It was the number of the Huguan Township Police Station, so he called back.

It was my dad. He said, "The county finance department called me just now and asked me to go over and collect another month's salary. It's more convenient for you to drive, so go and collect it yourself when you have time!"

Cao Yukun agreed immediately. After hanging up the phone, he turned around and said to Huang Jiaying with a smile, "It's finally happened! I've been in the car team for four months, and the second month's salary is finally going to be paid!"

Huang Jiaying also laughed, "You guys are doing great! Jiapeng has only been paid for one month since he started working, and the factory promised to pay him another month before the Spring Festival, but I don't know if it will keep its promise!"

…………

At noon, he treated Huang Jiaying to a delicious meal, then sent her back. He even ran to her office, occupied her desk and chair, and had a cup of tea. When it was almost past one o'clock, he said goodbye and drove straight to the county government. When he entered the gate, the gatekeeper was a little confused, so he stopped the car and handed a cigarette to the security squad leader in the booth. They chatted for a few words before he went in and stopped the car.

It is very easy to collect salary. You just need to sign and you will get it. It is eighty-four yuan and fifty cents. This is the salary for August.

Enough to treat Huang Jiaying to three and a half meals.

Now the county still owes him more than half a month's salary for September, October, and November. According to the rules, he should be paid another month's salary before the Spring Festival.

After receiving his salary and about to go downstairs, he thought for a moment and turned back, planning to say hello to Director Zhao from the county government office. Although he was fired, he still had to admit that Director Zhao was actually a good person, and Cao Yukun was not the original owner. In his opinion, since he was a native of the county, it was not a bad thing to establish a good relationship with him.

So he went back and knocked on her office door.
