This morning the accountant called me saying that Li Zhiyu has a payment of two hundred thousand that hasn't been made as per the agreed contract timeline.

Li Zhiyu is usually pretty reliable in his dealings, and this is the first time I've encountered such an issue. Fortunately, I need to deliver goods to various shops today, so I might as well ask him what's going on.

After delivering to two stores, I arrived at Li Zhiyu's store. To my surprise, I saw a familiar figure inside his shop.

Xu Xiaorui was chatting inside with Li Zhiyu, and she seemed a bit agitated.

"Li Zhiyu, what exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? Looks like you really mean business this time," Li Zhiyu responded.

Xu Xiaorui noticed me and brightly smiled.

"Baichuan, you're here."

I nodded and replied, "Yeah, what are you two talking about? You seem so worked up."

Li Zhiyu calmed down as well and said, "Nothing, nothing, buddy. She just happened to pass by and we casually chatted."
