Su Tiantian never thought that after taking half a day off, she would have to deal with such a troublesome and difficult matter when she came back.
Sitting in her office were accounts receivable accountant Shen Runan, cashier Yang Yuping, and business manager Tang Yuening.
Tang Yuening said anxiously, "I called Xingneng's purchasing manager today and invited him to dinner, but he declined. I hesitated for a moment and asked when the payment for the goods would arrive. He said, 'I've already signed your company's payment application and submitted it to the Finance Department for review according to the procedures. According to the contract requirements, it should have arrived.'"
Yang Yuping said: "I definitely didn't receive the payment from Xingneng Company for last month's goods."
Shen Runan said: "I asked their accountant in charge of reconciliation yesterday, and she said that she saw with her own eyes that their company's financial manager had signed about six or seven days ago. I felt that something was wrong. Why didn't I receive the money? So I asked Manager Tang to ask their purchasing manager."
Su Tiantian glanced at the files on the computer and said, "The payment is six days overdue. Have you asked Vice President Li?"
Shen Runan said: "Deputy President Li? Which Deputy President Li? Shouldn't you go to the Finance Department or the Purchasing Department to reconcile accounts and collect payments from their company? It's reasonable for payments to be delayed for a few days, but I'm still worried, so I'll go find Manager Tang first, and then come over to report to you as soon as you get to work."
Su Tiantian said: "Next time something like this happens, you can report it immediately, regardless of whether I am at work or not."
Shen Runan nodded repeatedly.
Tang Yuening said, "Vice President Li's name is Li Boyu, the Vice General Manager of Xingneng Company. That's why I came to see Director Su. Vice President Xiao said that Director Su has a good relationship with Vice President Li and is in charge of the Finance Department, so he is more suitable to handle this matter both professionally and personally. It's normal for some companies to delay payments for a few days, but Xingneng Company has always paid on time since we started working together."
Su Tiantian flipped through the address book and said, "I'm not very familiar with Vice President Li, but he and my husband are friends. I'll give him a call and ask."
Shen Runan looked relieved: "Actually, I called their company's cashier yesterday. She was very arrogant and said there was no need to rush me. I would pay when it was due. She also asked me if I was a good person. I called from my mobile phone and recorded the call."
Su Tiantian said, "Runan, send me the recording. You guys go back to work first. I'll take care of the payment for Xingneng Company."
Su Tiantian is not really familiar with Li Boyu, and she doesn't contact him privately. She has colleagues to deal with official matters, and Liu Jingze to deal with personal matters. But now that the official matters have fallen on her head, she has to deal with them.
Li Boyu had saved Su Tiantian's phone number, so he was a little surprised when he saw the call: "Sister-in-law Tiantian?"
Su Tiantian's tone was calm: "Good afternoon, Baiyu, I have something I want to talk to you about, business."
Li Boyu said, "Then I'm going to call you Director Su. Please speak."
Su Tiantian said, "Vice President Li, good afternoon. The situation is this: our company hasn't received payment for last month's goods from your company. We've consulted your purchasing manager and reconciliation accountant, and they said they've approved it according to the procedures. However, it's really strange that we haven't received payment even though it's six days past due according to the contract."
Li Boyu pondered for a moment and said, "I will give you a reply before I get off work today."
Su Tiantian said sincerely, "Thank you, Vice President Li."
Li Boyu chuckled: "Sister-in-law Tiantian, you're welcome. When are you free? I'd like to invite you and Jingze to dinner. I heard that Ayu and Axuan are also here to celebrate Mr. Liu's birthday today. I'd like to invite them too. I wonder when are they free?"
Su Tiantian said, "Bai Yu, I finally understand. You don't want to treat me to a meal, you want to treat your three cousins to a meal. Just ask them directly. I don't care even if you go out to drink, sing, and find beautiful women. Okay?"
Li Baiyu was helpless: "Sister-in-law Tiantian, what are you talking about? It's really a simple meal. Of course, I sincerely invite you. Jingze has rarely been out for social events recently because he wants to accompany you."
Su Tiantian said, "Okay, anyway, as long as Liu Jingze is willing to take me with him, I'll go."
Li Boyu said: "Then I will tell Jingze that my sister-in-law wants to go too."
After hanging up the phone, Su Tiantian worked while listening to several people from the Finance Department talking about how Mr. He’s girlfriend came today, Manager He’s girlfriend came, and Manager He’s girlfriend’s brother also came.
Su Tiantian pretended to snort: "During working hours, what's right and wrong? Are you trying to deduct my salary?"
Qiu Yuqing wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she stood beside Su Tiantian with a thick face and said, "Director Su, our good director, I heard that your husband's two cousins went to have tea with President He and Manager He today. Do you have any gossip to share with us?"
Su Tiantian's fingers didn't stop tapping on the keyboard, her eyes still focused on the monitor, a slight smile on her lips: "Why, there's no latest news in your gossip group?"
Chen Chanying smiled and said, "How could our Director Su be so well-informed about some of this information? I heard that Manager He had a fight with his girlfriend and her brother today. Speaking of which, when I knew they were at the front desk, I went to check and saw that Manager He's girlfriend is a very beautiful woman."
Wei Jiadong also looked very excited. "When they were blocking the door at the gate, I ran to the security room to see. She was indeed a beautiful woman, but she looked a little cold. I guess she had an argument with Manager He, so she brought her brother and so many people to block the door."
Su Tiantian stopped what she was doing, looked at them, and said word by word, "I don't want to meddle in other people's business, especially Manager He's personal affairs. He's not only a business manager, but also Mr. He's cousin. His father is one of the company's shareholders. You should be careful."
