Li Shi remembered that Yueyue mentioned earlier in the day that she didn't join him today to meet her investor because she had gone back to her hometown to raise funds from her parents.
"Could it be that she is having trouble raising funds and wants my help?"
Li Shi and she had only climbed Mount Lu once, dined together twice, and had intermittently talked about project matters in the group chat. They were fairly acquainted, but it was just that, and they weren't close enough to lend money casually.
He went straight to the point and said, "Is there something you need? You can just say it over the phone."
"I…"
Si Si hesitated for a while before finally saying, "It's nothing much, I just wanted to thank you in person for investing in us."
"No need for thanks, it's already late today. If there's anything else, we can talk about it the next time we sign the contract."
"Oh, okay."
