Chapter 914 We want the explanation now!
The door of the CFO's office was suddenly pushed open, and the pungent smell of perfume arrived first.
Liang Ranran looked at her stepmother, who was wearing delicate makeup and walking towards her in ten-centimeter red-soled shoes. The diamonds on her nails scratched fine marks on the report.
The woman who once wore a nurse's uniform and cared for my father in the ward was now tapping the loss figures with her well-maintained fingers. The sneer on the corner of her mouth was completely different from the gentleness when she handed me warm water seven years ago.
As two black commercial vehicles rolled over the gravel road, sounds of an argument could be faintly heard in the distance.
Passing the concrete mixing station at the corner, the scene of two groups of people confronting each other in front of the office building came into view.
Standing in the front row of the team in dark blue work clothes, Yu Liguo, with beads of sweat on his forehead, was trying hard to maintain order.
This young vice president who was promoted exceptionally by Liang Tingshan now seemed outnumbered and powerless facing more than 20 visitors in suits and ties on the other side.
There were a few burly men in particular, with the security badges on their chests glowing coldly in the sun.
"Boss Liang is on his way, everyone..."
Yu Liguo's persuasion was rudely interrupted.
The leader, Mr. Liu, who had a slicked-back hair, threw away the file bag. The edge of the hard kraft paper cut through the air with a crisp sound. "Don't give me that! There are only three days left for the equipment authorization. Either pay compensation or see you in court!"
The roar of the engine interrupted the battle at the right time, and the commercial vehicle that had just stopped instantly became the focus.
Liang Ranran, who was sitting in the back seat, turned her knuckles white and looked at the young man in the passenger seat who was always calm: "Are you sure about the technical solution you mentioned this morning?"
Zhou Qi drew smooth arcs with his fingertips on the tablet and nodded slightly.
"Mr. Liu, we have never been late in payment during the three years of our cooperation..."
Yu Liguo tried to evoke affection, but was cut off by a sneer.
"Can friendship be used as liquidated damages?"
Mr. Liu loosened his tie, and his metal cufflinks banged against the folding table that had been brought in temporarily. “Tell Liang Tingshan that we don’t have the official seal and checkbook today. We’ll have the Legal Department come over with a property preservation order!”
Zhou Qi noticed that there were three Mercedes-Benz cars parked outside the crowd with their engines still running, and their license plates were deliberately covered.
When his eyes swept over a burly man wearing Bluetooth headphones, the other party quickly turned away and avoided looking at him. This abnormal behavior made him add a few more notes in his notebook.
Liang Ranran knew Zhou Qi's ruthless methods. When she first heard in Hong Kong that he wanted to overthrow the Huo family, she thought it was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
But in just a few days, the Huo Group, one of the four major wealthy families in Hong Kong, collapsed. This scene is still being repeatedly analyzed in business textbooks.
So when Zhou Qi spoke again, she chose to trust him unconditionally.
As the noise of the crowd approached, Gao Qingliang lowered his voice to remind:
"Mr. Zhou, the leader is Liu Zhou from Shunzhou Machinery. He was the equipment lessor for the previous Nanshi project, and the contract payment has not been settled yet."
"Are you afraid that he will bring up old issues?" Zhou Qi chuckled as he stroked his cufflinks.
"He has never even met me."
Gao Qingliang narrowed his eyes behind his glasses: "But this local tyrant..."
Before he could finish his words, Liang Ranran had already rushed into the center of the confrontation.
The hem of her pink sweatshirt rustled in the autumn wind. She faced a dozen burly men and said, "Uncles, tell me about the project."
Liu Zhou spat out the betel nut residue in his mouth and glanced at the girl with Gao Qingliang's ponytail.
The round apple face reveals childishness, but the curve of the chest is particularly eye-catching, which is so contradictory that it makes people laugh.
"Is there no one left in the Liang family? Are they letting a baby take the blame?"
"My dad is preparing materials for resuming work."
Liang Ranran pinched her fingertips into her palm: "But you guys, are you in a hurry to claim compensation when there are only three months left in the contract?"
"You little girl, you know nothing!"
The contractor pointed at Liang Ranran with his tattooed arm: "It's written in black and white on the breach of contract clause! I've lost two hundred thousand dollars if I stop working for one day!"
Liu Zhou threw out a pile of documents: "Equipment depreciation, staff loss of work, expected profits, seven million is a bargain for your Liang family!"
The crowd was immediately in an uproar, and the amount of claims went up one after another.
"Do you want any money?"
Liang Ranran suddenly raised Qingliang's voice: "Clause 12 of the contract states that there is a 'force majeure clause'. This landslide is a geological disaster. According to the agreement, both parties share the risk!"
"Speak clearly!" a questioning voice came from the crowd.
Liang Ranran clenched the contract in his hand: "We will execute according to the terms of the contract. If there is any dispute, please go through legal procedures."
She glanced at the debt collectors blocking the factory gate and said, "If you gather to disrupt production order again, I will contact the local police station immediately."
"Call the police?"
Liu Zhou leaned against the electric door and sneered, flicking off the cigarette ash with his index finger:
"When your father took the order, he begged us to advance the money for turnover. Now you're strong enough? You, a yellow-haired girl, are you qualified to slam the table in front of us?"
Financial director Chen Fang flipped open the account book and interjected, "Boss Liang promised to pay in installments last month, but now he doesn't even dare to leave the office?"
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Liang Ranran's work badge: "Let Liang Tingshan come out! What's the point of hiding behind a girl's skirt?"
"open!"
Liang Ranran broke free and took two steps back: "There are quality issues in the project acceptance. According to the contract, we have the right to postpone payment..."
"Stop talking about the terms!"
Liu Zhou kicked over the material box next to him, and metal parts scattered all over the floor: "Either you pay me today, or we 23 suppliers will live in your exhibition hall!"
He took out his cell phone and shook it: "It's a good opportunity to let the customers who come to see the equipment know how the Liang Group is a deadbeat!"
Liang Ranran's breathing became rapid as she watched the debt collectors raise their phones one after another.
If these short videos were to be spread out, the military orders that were being negotiated would definitely fall through. She forced herself to remain calm: "My dear uncles, we have been cooperating for so many years..."
"Now you know how to call me uncle?"
Lao Wang, a building materials merchant, interrupted at the top of his voice: "Last month, my wife was hospitalized and asked you to advance the payment for the goods. What did the finance department say? 'Official business'?"
He suddenly took out the medical certificate and slammed it on the table: "If you don't settle the 800,000 yuan today, I will move the oxygen cylinder here!"
In the chaos, someone started to make a noise: "I heard that Mr. Liang's daughter still doesn't have a boyfriend? How about we become in-laws to pay off the debt?"
Greasy laughter spread among the crowd, and several men gathered around with ill intentions.
"Everyone, stand back!"
Liang Ranran grabbed the explosion-proof alarm on the table: "The security system is directly connected to 110. Do you need me to demonstrate it now?"
Her fingertips hovered over the red button: "Who wants to be a negative example that hinders the normal operation of a company?"
Liu Zhou squinted at the alarm, then suddenly grinned and said, "Don't get excited, niece. We just want to have some tea with Mr. Liang."
He sat at the main seat in the reception area and said, "I heard that you are applying for Gao Qingliang's new technology subsidy? A labor dispute at this time..."
He deliberately dragged out the last word: "Do you think the Science and Technology Bureau dares to approve it?"
Liang Ran suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back, as his father was operating the business without telling any of the shareholders.
She suppressed her panic and said, "The creditors' meeting will be held in three days. Now, please..."
"We want the truth now!"
The crowd suddenly erupted in roars, and several agitated vendors began to shove the security guards.
