Chapter 556: Chapter 556

As the year-end approaches, every industry is busy, especially the government sector.

Fortunately, Zhen Yu had contacted a law firm in advance, so just after the Little New Year, she arrived at Factory Director Lu’s house with a lawyer and her brother, right on the scheduled time.

When the three of them arrived, everyone was already waiting there. In addition to the people Zhen Yu had met last time, there was another man who resembled Factory Director Lu.

Since Zhen Yu had met Lu Wei’s father before, she immediately guessed that this man must be another brother of Factory Director Lu.

"Who are these two?" Factory Director Lu had already known that Zhen Yu’s brother would represent her and handle all the procedures under the name of Zhen Yan, so he had always thought that Han Mingyue was the ’brother’ Zhen Yu had mentioned.

But now that they were about to handle serious matters, she brought two strangers. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelFɪre.net

"Oh! This is my brother Zhen Yan! This is Lawyer Li!"

"Lawyer?!" Factory Director Lu was confused, "What is this..."

"We siblings don’t know anything about the procedures for investing and starting a business, so it’s better to let professionals handle it! Didn’t you say that the cooperation agreement and contracts are ready? Let Lawyer Li review them directly later."

"...Alright." After all, Factory Director Lu had been the director of a state-owned dairy factory. He had seen his fair share of significant events, so despite a new layer of appreciation for Zhen Yu’s shrewdness, he promptly nodded!

Anyway, he had used no tricks nor had he planned to cheat her, so he was not afraid of the lawyer’s inspection!

Zhen Yu had already made it clear to Lawyer Li that she did not want to participate in the management of the dairy factory, and she also agreed for Factory Director Lu to be the sole legal representative of the enterprise.

But! She demanded that all products produced by the dairy factory must be inspected periodically! She didn’t know exactly where to send them for inspection, but she must be fully informed about the food safety and hygiene conditions! Moreover, she must have the power to conduct random inspections at any time to prevent her partners from fooling or cheating her!

Once a ’quality’ issue is detected, the managers, including Factory Director Lu, must sit down with her to discuss solutions! If they do not act, she has the right to demand a production halt and liquidation at any time without their further consent!

This last condition terrified Factory Director Lu and the others; detecting a problem meant dissolving the partnership... This young lady thought running a factory was child’s play, where one could flip attitudes just like that?!

Yet no matter how much they argued logically, Zhen Yu simply gave them one reply!

"As long as you do not have quality issues, there won’t be any problems!"

"Who can guarantee that..." Someone blurted out the truth a bit too freely.

Zhen Yu immediately frowned deeply, "The milk powder is made for human consumption! It enters the body! If you can’t even meet this most basic requirement, then why bother running a factory? Might as well open an illegal workshop instead!"

The men fell silent, each one bowing their heads in contemplation.

Seeing this, Zhen Yu directly looked at Factory Director Lu!

"Factory Director Lu, you have put all your efforts into opening this dairy factory! You even sold the house you lived in! Didn’t you ever think of making it bigger and stronger?!"

"...Yes! Of course!" Factory Director Lu candidly admitted: "How could a businessman not have any goals? Right now, I just want to get the dairy factory up and running, but in the future! I hope Snowflake Dairy can spread beyond Qi City, beyond our province... I want to turn the dairy factory into a major dairy group like the ones in the province!"

"So, what do you think is the most important thing for a food enterprise?!"

Factory Director Lu took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I understand what you mean! Rest assured! We will definitely prioritize food safety and hygiene!"

After reaching consensus, the subsequent matters became much simpler.

Lawyer Li, being a professional, was a great help. Zhen Yu simply sat aside as an observer gaining knowledge, while Zhen Yan only needed to hold a pen, signing where directed, and that was OK.

The points Zhen Yu made on the spot were not reflected in the contract, but Lawyer Li mentioned that they could sign an additional agreement! It could be attached to the back of the contract!

After dealing with the internal affairs, the group dispersed. The subsequent matters only required Factory Director Lu, as the soon-to-be legal person, to handle alone.

Anyway, he alone represented everyone.

But walking on the way home, Zhen Yan still had some worries.

"Little sister, the $750,000 is spent, and our family doesn’t have much money left. What about the subsequent investments you promised..."

"Don’t worry, brother, I’ve already planned it all! There are five months until your college entrance exam, and the dairy factory needs to handle various official procedures first, the newly acquired factory buildings need sorting out, not to mention we don’t know if there are any major issues with the production lines, plus there’s running around for raw and auxiliary materials supply, and hiring workers... To start official production, I reckon it will definitely be after your exams! The income from the two internet cafes in these five months will definitely exceed their pooled money!"

"Uh..." Zhen Yan showed an expression of ’indeed true’, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Little sister, are you thinking of giving up the internet cafe business?"

"Not at all!" Zhen Yu didn’t understand why her brother would say that and looked at him seriously!

"Then, you’re spending all the money from these five months, aren’t you going to open the internet cafe in the Capital?"

"Oh! That one! Don’t worry about the computers! But indeed, we need to save some money for the decoration and the tables and chairs... Why don’t you find time to handle a mortgage loan for both properties!"

Unexpectedly, his sister would suggest such a solution, Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment! But then he thought, mortgaging both internet cafes indeed would not hinder opening one in the Capital. So, he relievedly smiled, "Alright! I’ll hurry to handle it tomorrow! After all, the approval and loan disbursement takes months! It’s better to have it done in case of emergencies!"

Zhen Yu smiled, "Up to you."

Seeing his sister in a good mood at the moment, Zhen Yan hesitated for a while before he finally said, "There’s one more thing..."

"What else?" Since her brother was worried about ’business’ a second ago, Zhen Yu didn’t think about other possibilities and urged directly, "If there’s something, just say it! We can discuss and solve it together."

"You asked for this..."

"Come on!" Zhen Yu urged a bit impatiently, "Hurry up, don’t drag it out!"

"Mom wants us to visit her on the 30th..."

"You can go by yourself if you want."

"That won’t do! What about you then? Little sister..."

"...I’m better off alone..."
