Chapter 40 Punching into Cotton_1

```

Niu Dajun had signed his name on the notebook in black ink on white paper; Qi Shuli couldn't say he hadn't received the letter. If the matter escalated, it wouldn't look good for him with Qi Xiaoyan there—Secretary Qi would find it hard to explain.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Shuli weighed the pros and cons in his mind and made the most favorable decision, smiling amiably. "Ah, Comrade Niu, seeing you reminds me of the letter that was delivered a few days ago. I was so busy I left it at the village committee office and forgot to pass it to Comrade He. I'm really sorry; it was my negligence at work that made you and Comrade He take an extra trip."

Niu Dajun was startled; he hadn't even had the chance to question Accountant Qi, but the man had already admitted to forgetting to deliver the letter. This left Niu flustered, unable to vent his frustration. If he hadn't come today, would Qi Shuli ever remember?

Like punching cotton, both Niu Dajun and He Tiantian felt stifled.
