Chapter 44 Just Call Me Yu-An
In comparison, Manager Sun's credibility score is simply unconvincing.

After signing the contract, Chi Yu handed it to Sun Youfu. Sun Youfu didn't linger and, seemingly in a real hurry, greeted him and left quickly.

"The purchasing department?" Song Youan asked.

Chi Yu nodded slightly: "He's an old hand at the club. Manager Sun was already here when I arrived. He's now the head of the purchasing department."

Seeing Song You'an's slightly tense expression, Chi Yu subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Youan thought for a moment and said truthfully, "My first impression of this person wasn't very good."

Chi Yu was slightly taken aback: "Manager Sun has no problem with his work ability."

Is there no problem?

His ability score was only 84.2, far below that of the public relations manager.

Moreover, does the work of the purchasing department really require very strong abilities? Song Youan had reservations about this.

It wasn't that she didn't believe Chi Yu's assessment, but rather that she had more faith in her own system.

However, she couldn't show any emotion at this moment, otherwise the whole thing would seem too abrupt. She nodded as if she understood: "As long as you are capable at work, that's fine."

Chi Yu looked at Song You'an with a puzzled expression. He felt that Miss Song had been acting a little strange just now.

When Song You'an got home that evening, she took out the information about Lanting Club that Chi Yu had compiled for her again, and focused on looking through the documents related to the purchasing department.

However, the relevant documents only contained figures for financial expenditures, without any specific details. Moreover, Sun Youfu had been at the Lanting Club for many years, but the documents he had only contained data from the purchasing department for the past two years. Song Youan had no way of verifying whether this person had any problems.

On second thought, if there were problems in this information, Chi Yu would have discovered them beforehand when compiling it.

Moreover, if Sun Youfu really had a problem, he must not have been too blatant to have gone undetected for so many years.

Song You'an knew that she was not shrewd enough and had no experience in this area. She didn't even know what means a head of a purchasing department would use to seek personal gain.

Inflated prices? Or inferior products being passed off as superior ones?
These methods are too rudimentary; Chi Yu is too clever to miss them.

Or is the system's rating just a score that doesn't prove that Sun Youfu has any substantial problems?

Song Youan actually hoped it was the latter. She would rather be judging others by her own petty standards than see the system's rating truly reflect a person's true nature and prove that the other person was completely untrustworthy.

Her phone rang as she was thinking. She snapped out of her reverie, picked up the phone, and saw it was a call from Chi Yu.

I glanced at the time; it was already close to midnight.

"Hey."

"Miss Song, you're still awake, aren't you? There's been a result regarding the matter you asked me to investigate."

"About Tian Di Gang Building Materials Company?"

"Yes, I asked around with several business owners. At first, none of the industry leaders had heard of this company, so I asked around with other people. Unexpectedly, I found a business owner who had a working relationship with their company before."

Chi Yu paused noticeably before continuing, "You guessed right, your cousin's company is indeed facing significant operational difficulties."

Song Youan's heart jumped: "Explain yourself more clearly."

Chi Yu organized his thoughts and slowly began to speak: "I heard that the company secured a very large project in the first half of the year, contracting to supply building materials for a new amusement park. However, this amusement park is a huge project, and for a company of Tiandi Gang's size, supplying such a large project is very difficult, especially in terms of funding."

“The company’s cash flow was originally very strong. The project funds from the second half of last year have been gradually coming back this year. Even if there is still a shortage of funds for the amusement park project, it should be able to solve the problem as long as we get a loan from the bank.” “However, I heard that the bank has assessed that Tiandi Gang Building Materials Company has changed its legal representative in the past six months, so the company is considered to have potential risks, and the loan has been delayed.”

"Right now, the raw material supplier is waiting for your cousin to pay for the goods. Your cousin's company needs money to buy raw materials to invest in production. The amusement park is not in a material shortage yet, but it is estimated that it will not last long. If your cousin fails to deliver the goods by the deadline, he will be suspected of a serious breach of contract. If the entire amusement park project is brought to a standstill because of this, your cousin will have to bear a great responsibility."

Song Youan's face grew increasingly grim as she listened. She never imagined that her cousin would be in such a serious situation and under such immense pressure.

No wonder he was so thin, but he didn't say anything and even forced a smile to tell me he was fine.

"Ms. Song, has this company changed its legal representative in the past six months?" Chi Yu asked.

Song Youan let out a soft breath and said in a low voice, "Yes, this is a company that my aunt founded, but she passed away not long ago, and my brother is now the legal representative of the company."

Chi Yu paused for a moment upon hearing this, and finally said, "The most urgent matter is to resolve the cash flow problem of your cousin's company."

"Mr. Chi, can I ask you for another favor?" Song Youan asked.

"Okay, you say."

"Come with me to my brother's company tomorrow afternoon."

Chi Yu understood that Miss Song was going to take action herself.

"No problem, then tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Thank you."

"That's all for now, Miss Song, you should get some rest."

Just as Chi Yu was about to hang up, Song You'an suddenly said, "I've wanted to correct you for a long time. From now on, just call me You'an. Miss Song sounds too stiff."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Chi Yu said, "Okay, I'm a few years older than you. If you're willing, you can call me 'brother,' so that we can keep things under wraps and I can continue to help you hide your identity."

Goodnight, Brother Chi Yu.

Goodnight, Yuzu.

The next day, the wooden sign in front of Youanju was changed to "No guests today".

She carried twenty small cakes to the Prime Minister's residence in the capital, only to find a large crowd gathered in front of the gate, where an old woman was distributing something.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a red envelope.

"Excuse me, why is the Prime Minister's residence giving out red envelopes to the people?" Song You'an stopped someone and asked curiously.

The man had just snatched one when he opened the red cloth bag and saw that there were three pieces of silver inside. His eyes widened in surprise.

As expected of the Prime Minister's residence, it exudes grandeur.

"Young lady, you should go quickly too." The man said cheerfully, "The Prime Minister's two grandsons both passed the imperial examinations this year, and his eldest grandson is even the third-ranked scholar. The Prime Minister is so happy that he is giving out lucky charms to the people to celebrate."

So that's how it is. Song You'an squeezed forward and saw a red cloth bag coming straight at her. Before Song You'an could react, the tall man in front of her intercepted it halfway.

The crowd stirred, which startled her, and she quickly retreated.

Please vote for me.
