Chapter 77: Unexpected Trouble

"You were the one who said there was no problem before, so why is there a problem now?" Yu Zhou was a little confused. After all, according to his thinking, the bank's policy would not change so quickly. Moreover, the account manager not only notified him but was also willing to talk to him. What did that mean? It meant that the obstacle this time might not be with the bank at all. If he thought about it carefully, the current situation would be a bit complicated. However, even if it was complicated, he couldn't just ignore it at this moment, because he was in desperate need of this money. If this path didn't work, the subsequent situation would be difficult to predict. It was even highly likely that the dried fruit factory would be taken away by someone else. "Actually, the review procedures for this matter are all fine." "But it's being held up by the deputy bank president." "He found a problem that wasn't a problem and exaggerated it. I think you must have offended someone, or a competitor found out about your situation." "Is that why they are putting so much effort into this matter?" The account manager was also very helpless and even a little confused. Everything was clearly in line with the previous regulations, so why was it being personally inquired about by the deputy bank president over a non-issue? This situation didn't seem like their operations were flawed, but rather that Yu Zhou was being targeted. In an instant, Yu Zhou thought of countless possibilities for this matter. Indeed, under normal circumstances, such a thing would absolutely not happen. Even if there were major loopholes, it would never reach the current situation, because this was the early 1990s. Loan quotas were definitely a channel for everyone to get promoted in the bank. If you lent out hundreds of thousands more, you would have hundreds of thousands more in your quota. In such a situation, leaders would absolutely not obstruct progress. But it just so happened that it became a problem for him. If there wasn't something fishy going on, it would be strange. One could figure out the key point without even thinking about it. Could it be that others who wanted to acquire the dried fruit factory were causing trouble behind the scenes? Yu Zhou thought about it carefully and felt it was unlikely. Because he had not only himself but also the formidable Qin Siyue behind him. It was normal for someone not to give him face, but to not even give Qin Siyue face was very unusual. Could it be that the person causing trouble behind the scenes had a grudge against him? The thought made Yu Zhou frown even deeper. If that were the case, the matter would be difficult to handle. "If you're short on money, don't do things beyond your capabilities. Going to the bank, I really admire your nerve." Suddenly, while Yu Zhou and the account manager were still discussing the upcoming situation. A discordant voice was heard around them. The person's tone was very arrogant, and his voice was familiar. Yu Zhou turned his head and saw none other than his arch-rival, Liu Dalong. Instantly, upon seeing that expression on this person's face, Yu Zhou's complexion began to turn gloomy. It was very clear that the truth was out, and it was Liu Dalong's doing. Even though he had removed him from the position of deputy director of the Second Textile Factory, he hadn't expected that Liu Dalong would still cause him trouble in this matter. However, it made sense. What kind of person was this guy? He was the district mayor's brother-in-law. Even if he lost his job and couldn't stay at the Second Factory, would he just sit idle? It was normal for him to want to get involved in the reform and restructuring circle immediately. Moreover, with his brother-in-law's connections, it wouldn't be that difficult to acquire a factory of the dried fruit factory's caliber. Under such circumstances, he only needed to think a little to understand some of the key points. He might not only be seeking revenge but also wanted to gain control of the dried fruit factory. It seemed that this guy was not only his enemy now but also his competitor. "Liu Dalong, if you want to take over the factory, let's compete fair and square, based on the abilities of those behind us. Playing like this breaks the rules." Yu Zhou's expression was somewhat uncertain. It was clear that at this point, some things could be understood with a single thought. His appearance here already meant trouble. However, he didn't expect the other party to so unscrupulously break the rules to block his loan. It wasn't Yu Zhou bragging, but being able to produce hundreds of thousands in an instant was something that even people with connections and background might not be able to do without pressure. Therefore, if you had the ability, finding the bank was naturally the best choice. But for someone to want to use their connections to block your choice was like playing dirty tricks and breaking the rules. At this point, it was a foregone conclusion that the two sides would fall out. However, Yu Zhou hadn't expected Liu Dalong to come and show off in front of him. "Breaks the rules? In this area, I am the rule." "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've latched onto a big shot." "Insignificant small characters will always remain insignificant small characters. Did I give my permission for you to try and fly up the branches to become a phoenix?" "You dared to deal with me before. If I don't make you go bankrupt, am I not living up to the name Liu Dalong? Am I not feared for nothing?" Liu Dalong was very arrogant, and he had the capital to be arrogant. After all, the assets he had accumulated over the years were astronomical. If he really wanted to acquire a factory, you had to admit it wouldn't be a difficult task. It was precisely for this reason that even though Liu Dalong had lost his position as deputy director of the Second Factory, Yu Zhou had always known that he was not to be underestimated. However, he didn't expect that before he could find trouble with him, he would come to cause trouble for him first. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be keeping a low profile now, and not showing any of his strength in front of others? "You think you can control me like this?" Even though Yu Zhou was very dissatisfied in his heart, he still maintained a very calm demeanor at this moment. That's right, he couldn't accurately define Liu Dalong, but Liu Dalong certainly didn't know about his relationship with Qin Siyue. They were partners, not him clinging to a big shot. Moreover, Liu Dalong couldn't even begin to imagine how terrifying Qin Siyue's influence was. Under such circumstances, he dared to make a rash move. One didn't know whether to call him courageous or heartless.
