However, Qin Ran has made so many trips to the Education Bureau, and he still has some gains. That is, he was familiar with a middle-aged elder sister in the office of the Education Bureau.

Originally, Qin Ran still had the illusion that he could solve the problem of arrears through legitimate means. He even organized workers to go to the education bureau or the county government to ask for wages, but this was only a fleeting moment.

Extraordinary means in extraordinary times are the ability of a strong man. The accumulation of primitive capital is gray, Qin Ran has a grand plan and will not be confined to the convention.

After repeated inquiries, he learned that his second uncle was secretly befriending the two leaders of the Education Bureau, and it was not difficult to guess that the troublemakers behind this matter must have nothing to do with the second uncle.

"Sister Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you again today. Yesterday, our company sent out some benefits, just one more, I came over today and brought it to you. Thank you for taking care of our company over the years. Seeing that there was no one around, Qin Ran handed a big bag to Sister Zhang.

When I opened the seal, I saw a set of Olay skin care sets, and Sister Zhang had seen a price tag of 168 yuan in a local shopping mall. She had the urge to buy, but thinking that her monthly salary was less than 900 yuan, she was still reluctant to spend this money in the end.

"That's too precious, isn't it?" Sister Zhang was a little reluctant to return the things to Qin Ran.

"It's okay, the rest of the benefits issued by the company. It's a tyrannical thing for me to keep it, and you've always taken care of me. Of course, Qin Ran stopped Sister Zhang from returning it as soon as possible.

Seeing Qin Ran's resolute attitude, Sister Zhang accepted the gift with a little embarrassment, and said, "Xiao Qin, you really take care of Sister Zhang." If you have something in the future, just say to Sister Zhang, I will do my best to help if I can. ”

"There's a little thing I want to trouble you." After speaking, Qin Ran whispered a few words in Sister Zhang's ear.

"Okay, it's up to me, just wait for my good news." Sister Zhang patted her chest and responded.

At noon the next day, the pager on Qin Ran's waist rang, and he recognized it as the phone number of the Education Bureau's office. Dialing back, it was Sister Zhang calling.

"Xiao Qin, do you remember what you entrusted me? I just learned that Director Lu returned to the bureau this afternoon, and he has no other arrangements on his schedule. ”

"Okay, thank you Sister Zhang, I want you to help arrange it in the afternoon."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Ran came to the office of the Education Bureau with a briefcase, and Sister Zhang was already waiting here.

She went to the director's office and knocked on the door, saw Director Lu inside, and said, "Director, Boss Xiao Qin, who contracted the building, is here." Then she pretended not to see the director's eyes that signaled not to accept the interview, and welcomed Qin Ran into the office warmly.

After making a cup of tea for the two, Sister Zhang closed the office door, leaving Qin Ran and Director Lu behind.

First of all, there was a brief greeting, and neither side mentioned the matter of the project payment. Although Qin Ran had just graduated from junior high school, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces had a strong business atmosphere, and many people had already mixed in the society before graduating from junior high school, so Director Lu did not feel that he was slacking off when he was young.

"I deeply regret what happened to Ling Zun. Alas, it was quite at this time that your father was in this position to talk and laugh with me. It's a pity ......" Director Lu finally regretted the two words, and it was indeed because he felt it. When Qin Guangzong opened the joint and won the construction contract of the building, the promises he made to him are now null and void.

"Thank you, Director Lu, for your concern. But people always have to look forward, after all, living well is the best memorial to the deceased. Qin Ran said and was suddenly attracted by a word on the wall behind his desk.

"Director Lu, your character really has the charm of the thin gold body of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, especially the word 'for', elegant and straight, with iron painting and silver hooks!"

Qin Ran pointed to the "promising" calligraphy behind the director's desk.

"Yo, you know calligraphy, too?" Director Lu replied with a hint of surprise.

Qin Ran waved his hand and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I was forced by my father to learn calligraphy, and I copied many famous works, but I still wrote like an earthworm crawling, and I couldn't get on the façade. ”

"Haha, this is a temporary graffiti work of a friend of mine, and it can't be put on the stage." Director Lu is very useful in his heart, he has been studying thin gold for many years, but he does not admit that this character is his own work.

With a common topic, he talked with Qin Ran about his calligraphy experience with great interest.

"Director Lu, I have an elder who loves thin gold in his life, and he recently told me that he wanted to find a master's work to put in his new home. It seems that there is really fate, and he must like this pair of words. I don't know if you are willing to endure the pain of love, to fulfill the wish of my elders. Qin Ran made his request to Director Lu.

"This-this-"

Director Lu hesitated for a moment.

"Oh, you don't have to worry. My elder is a bookworm, and as long as he sees something he likes, he often spends a lot of money. Without waiting for Director Lu to react, Qin Ran took the initiative to stand up and walked behind the desk.

"Forgive me for cutting first."

Qin Ran said as he walked over and carefully rolled up the words "things are man-made" and held them in his hand.

"Director Lu, I'm so happy to see the words, I almost forgot a little thing. I hope you can support the project money. Workers are waiting to pay their children's school fees. And I guess the elder will have to ask for another word, because his new home also has a living room. ”

After speaking, Qin Ran bowed and left the director's office.

Locking the door of the office, Director Lu looked at the pen fee left by Qin Ran.

"This Xiao Qin is a little interesting." Director Lu muttered to himself when he was alone.

Then, he picked up his office phone and called the treasurer to his office.

At noon the next day, Qin Ran received a mysterious call from Sister Zhang, telling him good news. At the bureau leadership meeting, Director Lu has just reached a consensus to pay the first 60% of the project payment.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the Finance Department of the Education Bureau called, asking Qin Ran to go over and sign immediately and transfer money directly at the bank.

Seeing the bank staff transfer 480,000 yuan in cash to his personal bank account, Qin Ran breathed a deep sigh of relief in his heart.

As soon as the money arrived, Qin Ran immediately called Director Lu and offered to invite him to dinner alone, thank the leaders for their care, and then booked a private room at the famous Chang'an Hotel in the county.

Chen Hao also learned that Qin Yaozu was making a hindrance, and now that the first project payment of the Education Bureau had suddenly arrived, Qin Ran must have done something, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.

So Qin Ran instructed him to book a box and accompany Director Lu to dinner together in the evening, and he went to execute it without saying a word.

That night, Director Lu only brought the driver here, and Qin Ran was only accompanied by Chen Hao.

When he was full of wine and food, Qin Ran made a color, Chen Hao knew that he had asked the driver to buy cigarettes outside, and only Qin Ran and Director Lu were left in the box.

"Director Lu, thank you so much for your strong support for our work this time. And the pair of characters you gave me, my elder liked it so much that he immediately ordered me to find another pair of similar characters for his other living room. The elders have orders, and those of us who do small things must implement them. So, I have to trouble the leader again for your help. ”

"Haha, Xiao Qin, let's count ourselves as friends. It's just a gesture, it's just a gesture. ”

Indeed, as long as he does it, he can receive a satisfactory pen fee.

After seeing Director Lu get into the blue bird car and leave, Chen Hao reported to Qin Ran that he had put the prepared gifts into the trunk of the car just now.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

At this moment, Qin Yaozu, who received the news, was angry at home, and broke two vases at home.

Qin Ran did not know the news of the project money from the Education Bureau, but Wang Changchun told him. So he just called Director Zhao of the Education Bureau to ask for an understanding, and when the other party saw that it was him, he coldly replied that the leader's arrangement was incompetent, and hung up the phone.

I used to talk about it when I was eating, but now when I see that the situation is not good, I immediately turn my face and don't recognize people.

"Phew, these things!"

I have painstakingly laid out the plan for more than a month, and the cooked duck that I originally swore to be in hand flew away like this.

Early the next morning, the on-site office was crowded, and the suppliers received the news that they could settle 50% of the material payment, and all of them flocked to it.

After a long day's work, only a few hundred yuan of the 150,000 yuan in cash that had just been withdrawn from the bank was left, and the rest was settled to the supplier.

Under Qin Ran's generous public relations, the remaining 40% of the project cost of 320,000 yuan was quickly allocated to the account. After the balance arrived, Qin Ran notified the supplier to settle the remaining payment, so there was another 90,000 yuan missing from his bank account.

"Qin Ran, according to the convention, you don't have to settle it all, won't we still have to do projects in the future? You can settle 80% of them first, and leave 20% behind, and then let them supply, roll over and pay back, and reduce their financial pressure. Seeing that Qin Ran was so generous, Chen Hao reminded out of kindness.

"It's okay, Uncle Chen, I have my own sense of proportion. A few days ago, you were at the food stall, how did you think about it, would you like to continue to work with me? After Qin Ran answered, he countered Chen Hao's army.

Chen Hao frowned and said, "I have to listen to your future plans before making a decision!" ”

"Okay, I'll tell you a big plan in a few days."

Because Chen Hao's recent performance made Qin Ran very satisfied, Qin Ran personally gave him a bonus of 3,000 yuan to reward him for his help.

There were still 3 days to go, and on August 15, Qin Ran notified the three creditors who had borrowed 150,000 yuan in advance.

According to the agreed annual interest rate of 10%, Qin Ran settled 165,000 yuan with them at one time and got back the IOU.

"Young man, you are a good person, and the appearance of this time has surprised us. You can always come to us if you need it. This time, it was Lu Youcai, who was in the lead, who spoke.

"Haha, I will have a big plan to implement soon, and I believe we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." Qin Ran survived the first career crisis and added more self-confidence to his aura.

And the second uncle Qin Yaozu never came to him again, as if he had forgotten that there was still a plan in Qin Ran's hands, and even the material cost settlement of their store was still Qin Ran's second sister-in-law. According to insiders, Qin Yaozu has been drinking heavily at home recently, and he gets drunk all day long. Sometimes he pointed at his son and scolded, saying that he couldn't imagine that you were a white-eyed wolf, eating inside and out, and scheming more ruthless than adults. Referring to Sang and scolding Huai like this, Qin Ran laughed at himself.

On August 17, Qin Ran took a shuttle bus to Jiangzhou, the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
