The bureau chief laughed after hearing Gu Xiaobei's words and said, "Are you afraid we'll skip out on the bill?"
Gu Xiaobei feigned embarrassment with a chuckle, saying, "All this merchandise is on credit too. It's right before the New Year, everyone's eager for money, aren't they?"
The bureau chief said straightforwardly, "Alright, once you deliver the merchandise, go collect your money from the finance department." He then pointed to a stern-looking middle-aged man beside him and said, "This is Director Zhao from finance. Look for him later." He also reminded Director Zhao to prepare the cash.
Gu Xiaobei cheerfully saw the God of Wealths off to the market's entrance.
The weather had been unusually warm these past few days, making the icicles under the eaves melt and drip water.
Gu Xiaobei's mood was even better than the weather. This deal not only solved the inventory problem but also allowed her to recoup the losses from the misplaced merchandise.
