Chapter 198: Chapter 162: Reverse Its Way

Changqing Biological Finance Department.

"Knock knock!" Human Resources Director Tang Yun knocked on the door of the manager’s office.

"Manager Yang, this is last month’s payroll; we need your Finance Department to verify and sign-off on it."

The seemingly young Finance Manager Yang took the documents, glanced at them, and suddenly let out a long sigh as he sat in his chair.

"Manager Yang, you’ve just been promoted with a raise, with a bright future ahead, why that long face?" Tang Yun joked with a smile.

Not long ago the company had seen a wave of high-level departures, and this Manager Yang was the tall one pulled from the ranks of the short, promoted to fill the gap.

"Ah! Mr. Tang, to be honest, I don’t know how much longer I can sit in this position..."

"Er... what’s going on?"

"What’s going on? What else could it be? We’re out of money!" Manager Yang said with a pained expression.

"Honestly, I really admire Chairman Gao’s unbending will, but just the re-purchasing of that batch of ineffective drugs has drained almost all of our liquid assets.

We can’t secure a loan, and I’m really not sure if we can payout last month’s salaries!"

"Is the situation that serious?" Tang Yun frowned.

She knew the company was definitely short on cash, but she had not realized it was to this extent.

"Isn’t it just! These past few days, I’ve been so worried my hair is turning white, but Chairman Gao keeps saying she’ll figure something out, what can you say about that..."

Manager Yang was about to pour out his grievances when suddenly the phone on his desk rang.

"Ring ring ring! Ring ring ring!"

Manager Yang gave a ’hold on’ gesture with his eyes.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello! Manager Yang, this is Elder Kang from Bai Yu Pharmaceutical. I just wanted to ask when the final payment for our last shipment will be settled?" A man’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Manager Kang, isn’t that final payment according to the contract not due yet? What is this... "

"Manager Yang, tell me the truth, did your company’s cold storage malfunction recently, resulting in losses of tens of millions? I’ve heard your cash flow is almost broken?"

"Ah?" Manager Yang felt a lurch in his heart.

Wasn’t this incident supposed to be under wraps? How did the other party know?

"It seems there really was such an issue then! Manager Yang, I have no other demands, just please settle that final payment for our company as soon as possible."

When Manager Kang heard Manager Yang hesitate without an immediate denial, he knew the issue was probably true and urged impatiently.

"Manager Kang, our company has had a long-standing cooperation with Bai Yu Pharmaceutical. Your asking for payment before the contract’s due date, isn’t that..."

"Manager Yang, let’s not talk about those useless things. The news is already out, and I’m afraid that if we wait too long, we won’t be able to get back a penny.

The economic situation is bad lately; everyone is tight on cash; our factory is waiting on that money to start production.

You just said it yourself, we have a long-standing relationship. You can’t just leave an old friend high and dry, right?"

"It’s not like that, Manager Kang..."

"Forget it, I’m heading to your company right now; I’ll personally talk to Chairman Gao! Beep beep..."

"No, Manager Kang! Hello? Ah!"

Manager Yang had just hung up the phone when the landline rang again immediately.

"Hello? Manager Wu? You mentioned the cold storage... this cold storage... no no, rest assured, our company’s finances are fine..."

As he was struggling to cope with the situation, his mobile phone in his pocket also started ringing.

"Manager Wu, please hold on for a moment... Hello, is that Manager Wang? What? You want the payment for the goods as well, this..."

Watching all this, a sense of foreboding emerged in the heart of Tang Yun, who was standing nearby.

She quickly left the finance office and headed briskly towards Gao Yuan’s office.

"Knock knock! Chairman Gao!"

She had just dashed into the room when she saw Gao Yuan leaning back in her chair, leisurely reading a book and sipping coffee.

"Mr. Tang, what’s the matter?" Gao Yuan looked up at her.

"Chairman Gao, I just went to the finance office; it seems many suppliers are calling to press for payments. I’m afraid the news about the cold storage incident and the company’s financial difficulties has leaked!" Tang Yun said anxiously.

"Oh? Is that so... Heh! That was quick."

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan simply smiled lightly, appearing unruffled.

"Alright, I am aware of the matter."

After saying that, she actually went back to her book.

Tang Yun was baffled by Gao Yuan’s reaction.

The situation was dire, and yet there she was, absorbed in reading... "New Media Communication Theories"? What did that have to do with anything?

She should be looking into "Crisis Management Public Relations" instead!

Gao Yuan was their linchpin, and seeing her so calm and composed helped Tang Yun to somewhat regain her composure.

"Chairman Gao, under these circumstances, I fear it won’t be long before the suppliers block our doors. If this escalates, the company could be thrown into chaos."

"No worries, running a company is never plain sailing. Facing some setbacks and difficulties is normal; just treat it as a stress test for the company."

As soon as Gao Yuan finished speaking, Jiang Wenmin rushed in, looking anxious. Seeing Tang Yun, he paused for a moment.

"Chairman Gao, are you aware of the situation?"

"If you’re referring to the matter with the suppliers, I already know."

"Uh... there’s another thing."

"Yes? What is it?"

"Chairman Lu said he would come over in a bit to talk to you in person about the bank loan."

"Heh! How timely of him," Gao Yuan said, with a slight curl of her lips.
