61: Creditors come to the door

Early in the morning, Lu Fan arrived at his office.

He had been away for five days, and there was a lot to handle.

Just as he finished boiling water, the office door was knocked on. Unsurprisingly, the first to enter was undoubtedly Liu Zhicheng.

"Uncle Liu, I've been away these past few days, thank you for your trouble!" Lu Fan casually brewed tea and handed it over, "Have a seat and drink some tea first."

"Thank you, President Lu!"

After sitting down, Liu Zhicheng took out some documents from his briefcase, "President Lu, we initially compensated 1,000 orders.

Yesterday, the bank called and said the loan is due, and they won't allow us to continue making external payments.

So the compensation was forced to stop."

"Wait, isn't the bank loan still due in three days?" Lu Fan opened the loan document to confirm again.

"President Lu, strictly speaking, the loan repayment should be at least a week later.

But the bank froze our account. You know how banks are..."

"I know, let it be!" Lu Fan raised his hand to stop Liu Zhicheng from continuing and handed over a note.

"Uncle Liu, find a bank to open a new company account, then call the number on this note to complete the financial handover."

"Young President Lu, have you found an investor?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Liu Zhicheng's face.

"Not exactly an investment, more like a short-term loan."

Lu Fan lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and instructed, "Once the funds arrive, prioritize completing the compensation and salary payments.

You can handle everything else as you see fit!"

"Understood, I'll get to work right away, open the new account as quickly as possible, and ensure the bridge financing arrives smoothly."

Without another word, Liu Zhicheng got up and went to carry it out.

With the major issue resolved, Lu Fan, now free, began reflecting on this dual-crossing journey.

To be honest, this dual-crossing journey had its highlights. First, he tricked the japanese and excellently completed the first system task.

He also found an agent and launched a plan to resist the war and save the country.

At the same time, he purchased enough antiques to pay off the debt, which could smoothly resolve the modern debt crisis.

However, compared to the first trial, this second dual-crossing journey had far too many shortcomings.

First, he didn't prepare the optimal materials for the system task.

Things like Drones couldn't be brought at all.

Second, for the upcoming Battle of Shanghai, he had goals but no practical plan.

This time, he didn't even visit such an important place as Sihang Warehouse.

Let alone anything else.

Third..."Bang~~"

Just as he was thinking, Lu Fan was interrupted by the rude sound of the door opening.

He looked up and saw a man and a woman at the door, stirring up huge waves in his calm mood.

The man was the manager of Hongtian Liming Non-Performing Asset Disposal Co., Ltd., also his old classmate and arch-rival: Li Jun.

The woman was his childhood sweetheart and his credit specialist at Tiandong Bank: Zhou Wei.

At this moment, the two were as intimate as conjoined twins, a relationship anyone could see.

They were together, and coupled with his company account being frozen and unable to compensate consumers,

It was likely they were behind it.

Li Jun targeting him was understandable, but Zhou Wei was truly unexpected.

Suppressing his anger, Lu Fan asked, "What are you here for?"

"Oh~~~ still so aggressive with your words."

Li Jun tightened his arm around Zhou Wei, looking at Lu Fan with a smug expression, flaunting it to the max.

"I heard you need to compensate three small targets, so I came to remind you. The time given by the higher-ups is limited, you don't have much time left."

Lu Fan coldly replied, "No need for your concern, get out of here."

"How can I not be concerned? If you can't repay, the higher-ups will forcibly intervene.

If you can't repay the loan then, won't it implicate my little darling?"

Li Jun wore a wicked smile, his wandering hand freely moving around Zhou Wei's waist, full of sarcasm and mockery.

Lu Fan said irritably, "Don't give me any trouble here, this isn't your concern."

But Li Jun didn't mind, instead becoming even more smug. He raised his eyebrows, provocatively looking at Lu Fan.

"How is it not my concern? Let me tell you a secret, many of your suppliers have contacted me.

Entrusting me to help collect debts. Surprised?"

"We'll talk about it when that day comes." Lu Fan's face visibly cooled.

"Old Li, why bother talking to him? You need to act quickly. Our bank isn't afraid, but you need to be careful.

You should take action in advance to prevent him from acting desperately and transferring assets."

Seeing this, Zhou Wei not only didn't mind stirring trouble but also fanned the flames.

Awakened by this, Li Jun happily cupped Zhou Wei's face and gave her a hard kiss.

"Weiwei, you really understand him best. I'll go make arrangements right away."

Li Jun immediately picked up the phone, arrogantly boasting, "Lu Fan, if I don't ruin you this time, I'll take your surname!"

In the messy office, only the former childhood sweethearts were left staring at each other.

There aren't many reasons for a woman to hold a grudge against a man, usually just one.

But he believed he hadn't hurt Zhou Wei emotionally.

It was true they were childhood sweethearts, but growing up together since they were kids, they knew each other too well.

With a buddy-like relationship, he really couldn't bring himself to make a move.

After he took over this body and inherited the original owner's memories, it became even harder to make a move.

To avoid being discovered as an imposter, he didn't dare have any improper thoughts about this childhood sweetheart.

He maintained a good friend level, afraid that excessive familiarity might inadvertently expose his secret.

Could it be that because he didn't make a move, she held a grudge?

Lu Fan lit a cigarette, calmed his mood, and asked, "Zhou Wei, freezing my company account in advance, and now this.

What exactly are you trying to pull?"

Zhou Wei sneered dismissively and spoke lightly, "If I can't have it, I'll destroy it!"

"Don't give me that nonsense. If you want to ruin me, at least let me know why."

Lu Fan rolled his eyes; he didn't believe Zhou Wei's nonsense.

"We're so close, you've changed girlfriends one after another, but you never considered me. Am I really that unworthy?"

Zhou Wei glared coldly, looking like a resentful woman.

"Sigh~~" Lu Fan let out a long sigh. Having grown up together, how could he not know this was just an excuse?

There must be another reason for Zhou Wei to target him.

A woman's heart is as deep as the ocean; guessing a woman's thoughts gave him a headache.

Forget it, if she won't say, then so be it. Whatever.

He shook his head and said bitterly, "Whatever reason you have for wanting revenge, I'll accept it.

But Li Jun isn't a good person. To get back at me, it's not worth ruining yourself."

Not persuading her was fine, but this advice made Zhou Wei explode, "Who do you think you are to meddle? You're not myWho, mind your own business!"

Lu Fan exhaled smoke, pursed his lips, and his temper flared up.

"Fine, fine~~ I'm meddling too much. Go ahead and make a scene~~ Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

"Hmph~~" Zhou Wei snorted coldly, slowly stepped forward, and sat down, "Why leave? We haven't even discussed the main matter yet..."
