Chapter 42 Like me?

She had only known Liu Chao for three days and Yuan Banyue for two days.

Do you really want to buy on credit?

There is not even a piece of paper proof.

The payment is made once a week, and if you need goods every day, the payment will be one or two thousand yuan!

Liu Chao is a market worker, so he definitely can't escape.

But Yuan Banyue...

Chu Xuan whispered to Liu Chao, "How close are you and Yuan Banyue?"

"You're worried about the payment, right? I blame you for not explaining it clearly." Liu Chao patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry about the payment. He and I grew up together. He's his own boss now and comes here every week to buy goods. Not only your goods are settled every Monday, but also the goods from other stores. To be honest, I help him with the usual replenishment. It's just a matter of a phone call. So far, he hasn't defaulted on payment for goods. If he does, don't worry. I know his address and will help you collect the debt. And my commission will be paid after he settles the payment."

With Liu Chao's guarantee, Chu Xuan felt a little relieved. He was reluctant to grill the fish fillets and not make any money, so he let the truck go.

But he was also planning to sign a contract when he saw Yuan Banyue next time.

After all, it is the boss who owes the debt.

You must be on guard against others and have paper proof.

After watching the delivery truck drive away, Chu Xuan asked, "Brother Liu, are you saying that Boss Yuan doesn't order our grilled fish fillets every day?"

"Exactly. Let's put it this way. If he needs a lot someday, I'll call him in advance."

"Okay. Brother Liu, thank you for the introduction."

"Isn't this a win-win cooperation? I'll write a receipt with the exact amount of grilled fish fillet, the price, and the date, and sign my name and fingerprint."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

After a while, Chu Xuan got the receipt and felt more at ease when he saw Liu Chao's signature and fingerprint on it.

At this time, someone else came to pay to rent a temporary stall. Liu Chao returned to the payment office. Chu Xuan waved his hand and went to his temporary stall to wait for Mu Chenze.

There was a pile of pears at the stall next to us, 30 cents a pound.

Chu Xuan bought ten kilograms directly.

This stall has a time limit, and she did not renew the lease. Half an hour later, someone came with a payment receipt to set up the stall.

Chu Xuan had no choice but to carry his things in a sack and wait outside the market. He took out a mixed flour steamed bun and ate it while waiting.

Eat a pear when you are thirsty.

Now she doesn't care whether she can eat pears while taking Chinese medicine.

After waiting for another half an hour, Mu Chenze finally showed up.

Mu Chenze was sweating profusely and panting, "Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Chu Xuan looked concerned, "Did the delivery go wrong today?"

"No, it went smoothly. Actually, I got here earlier and happened to see you prove your innocence. That troublemaker fell and got killed. I quietly followed her, which delayed me quite a bit, so I'm late... ahem..."

Mu Chenze felt like his throat was about to smoke, and he started to cough dryly when he said this.

It was only 4:30 in the morning, and there was no one at the water and cold drink stalls around.

For the first time, Mu Chenze realized that he had to bring a cup when he came to the city, because he was really thirsty.

Chu Xuan took out a pear from the sack and handed it to him, "Find a place to wash it."

Mu Chenze didn't bother to wash the pears. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped it, and started eating it with a crunch.

The skin is thin, juicy, crispy and sweet.

After a while, he finished one.

"Did you buy it from the stall next to yours?"

Chu Xuan nodded.

Mu Chenze threw the pear core in his hand into the garbage pool not far away, "Wait a moment, I'll buy some to take back."

Chu Xuan suddenly remembered that he loved pears. "I bought it for you! Is five pounds enough?"

"Enough. How much? I'll give it to you!"

"I'm giving it to you, no money required."

Mu Chenze was in a good mood and was already thinking about buying something for Chu Xuan to take back. "Thank you! Give me the sack! We can talk while we walk."

Chu Xuan didn't bother to be polite and handed him the sack.

He walked forward with the sack on his back.

Chu Xuan followed behind him.

Mu Chenze stopped and raised his eyebrows, "Walk parallel to me, otherwise we won't be able to talk."

Chu Xuan almost bumped into him, but luckily she stopped in time. "Next time, if you stop suddenly in front of me, you have to tell me in advance, otherwise I'll knock you down and you'll have to bear the consequences. I'm a big guy, over 200 pounds, you know the consequences."

Mu Chenze couldn't imagine being knocked down by her. He touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "I know. But you seem to have lost some weight. You shouldn't weigh 200 pounds anymore, right?"

"I forgot to borrow the scale in the market office. I'll go get it someday." Chu Xuan also felt that she had lost some weight and walked side by side with him. "Tell me! Have you discovered that the woman causing trouble is related to Zhang Dong's family?"

"That's right. She's Zhang Dong's aunt. Zhang Dong's brother Zhang Qiu came with her, but he didn't show up. They're planning on how to deal with you later. From the way they sound, they're planning to rob you."

"Robbery? Aren't they afraid of breaking the law?"

"Of course they are! That's why they disguise themselves. We have to be fully prepared."

"Shall we invite a few more people to the city next time?"

"No need. I have a few friends in the city who can help protect you secretly for a few days. Just leave it to me."

Chu Xuan blurted out words of praise, "You are really awesome!"

The look she gave him was full of admiration.

Mu Chenze couldn't help blushing and remained silent.

Chu Xuan took out a handful of money from his pocket, counted out fifty yuan, handed it to him, and continued, "Hire your friends. If this money is not enough, you can ask me for more."

Mu Chenze didn't answer. He quickly adjusted his mood and responded heroically, "No need. I'll just send them some seafood when the time comes."

"Then I'll send you grilled fish fillets."

"good."

Chu Xuan hopes that the Zhang family can rob as soon as possible to avoid having to trouble Mu Chenze’s friends for secret protection.

Come early and deal with it early.

But this kind of thing is not something she can decide.

Perhaps the Zhang family felt that it was risky and gave up the idea.

"By the way, Mu Chenze, do you not want your family to know that we are close? Or do your family not want us to have any contact?"

Mu Chenze stopped again, and Chu Xuan also stopped and looked at Mu Chenze calmly.

Mu Chenze's face was full of confusion. "My family doesn't want us to have any contact. It's just that I don't want them to know that we're close for the time being. The village chief's family isn't the talkative type. Even if they knew we were close, they wouldn't say anything."

Chu Xuan looked puzzled, "Why?"

Mu Chenze blushed to his ears, "No reason, I just don't want my family to know for the time being."

In fact, he didn't know the reason, he just followed his heart.

Chu Xuan looked curious. "Didn't you say we were good friends? Shouldn't a good friend visit your house? Let your family know we're good friends?"

"You have a point. But I have my reasons for bringing people home. Once you, my good friend, have stood the test, I will let you visit my family. For now, it must be kept secret."

"I was originally planning to invite you and Ji Ping to dinner soon, but since you need to keep it a secret, let's just invite Ji Ping!"

"That won't work! Why don't you take some time to go to Ji Ping's house and cook for us? Wouldn't that keep it a secret?"

"Secrecy again! Mu Chenze, you're so fussy, you don't like me, do you?"

After asking this question, Chu Xuan felt that he was being a bit arrogant.
