Chapter 159 Good Brothers

Du Heming rushed to the telephone, grabbed the receiver, and said, "Hello, Director Mu!"

"Huh? Really?"

"what?"

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment! I'll call you back shortly!"

"Hongxue, hurry up, come here, let's calculate it again. How much are we still short of our subscription target?" Du Heming shouted to his son in a strong voice.

When Du Hongxue was doing the accounting, Li Yan hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Good news! Director Mu said that several people on his side want to subscribe to government bonds, and he asked us how many tasks we have."

"Really? That's great! Who are they?" Li Yan was also very happy. Her husband and son had been so worried about this that they couldn't eat or sleep and were even thinking about quitting their jobs.

“Gao Haoran, Ting Nan, Ting Nan’s two older brothers, and Director Mu and his friends are all interested and think it’s a good investment opportunity.” Du Heming said, then turned to Zuo Jinyue and asked, “Xiaoyue, do Ting Nan and her brothers have money? Won’t we make things difficult for them?”

"Dad, don't worry. I heard that Brother Nan has been running a brick factory for several years now. He has a good reputation and can't keep up with the orders. Her second brother is now the chief designer of Little Sun Clothing Factory. He gets dividends and a salary, and he also sells a lot of design drawings to other factories. The design fees are quite substantial. I heard that Nan and Uncle Huo jointly run a Gao Family Martial Arts School. Uncle Huo has a great reputation and many students. She also runs a small market in the countryside with my eldest uncle. They have some extra money. Dad, don't worry, they are all sensible people." Zuo Jinyue was proud, especially of Zheng Ruidong, the boy she used to talk to a lot. She never expected that the three siblings would grow up so quickly.

"That's good, that's good!" Du Heming was relieved and urged his son, "Hongxue, have you figured it out? Director Mu and the others are waiting."

“Dad, no need to calculate, I’ve got it. I’ll give you 10,000, you 50,000, our combined target is 60,000. We’ve been running around for so many days, and only our own family, my father-in-law, and a few friends have bought some. We’re still almost 50,000 short,” Du Hongxue said, embarrassed.

Equally embarrassed, Du Heming received the exact amount and made a phone call. As soon as he mentioned the amount, Mu Xudong laughed heartily on the other end: "What a coincidence! Including what the Zheng brothers, Xiang Qian and Rui Dong, just sent, it's exactly your amount."

It turned out that Zheng Ruidong had received the letter from Factory Director Mu and then told his elder brother. Zheng Xiangqian was the most loyal of his brothers, especially since Du Hongxue had gone to great lengths to send Ruidong fabric and other supplies, and there was also Zuo Jinyue's help to Tingnan. He was grateful and wanted to repay the kindness.

They took out all their money and borrowed some more from others, managing to scrape together 20,000 yuan, which they then delivered to Director Mu's house.

They entrusted Mu Xudong with the entire matter, as they didn't have time. Zheng Xiangqian was the factory manager, and he was too busy with factory affairs to leave. Zheng Ruidong had also entered the town's middle school, where there were seven subjects in the first year of junior high. He had no one to help him prepare in advance, and English alone was giving him a headache, leaving him no time to design clothes.

Du Heming listened on the phone, overjoyed, and thanked them repeatedly. He had originally thought that it would be very good if Director Mu and the others could raise 20,000 yuan, but he didn't expect them to solve the problem completely.

"Don't be so polite, we're all on the same side, helping each other out, especially since we're helping the country this time. Brother Du, our train is tomorrow, we won't arrive until the day after tomorrow, will that cause any problems?" Mu Xudong was very generous, addressing Du Heming as a brother for a while.
