Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu smiled and responded: "Thank you for your support. All the receptions today are free. I hope you like them."

The first day of business was very smooth, and customers praised the snacks made by He Yuzhu. Looking at the busy scene in the store, He Yuzhu was filled with joy and satisfaction. He knew that his hard work had finally paid off.

As night fell, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu sat in the store to take a break after a busy day. He Yuzhu picked up a cup of tea, took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "Huairu, today is a good day. I am very happy to see that everyone likes our food."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded. "Yes, Yuzhu, your hard work has finally paid off. I believe that things will get better and better in the future."

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu, his heart filled with gratitude. "Huairu, thank you for your support and help. Without you, it would be difficult for me to get to where I am today."

Qin Huairu patted his shoulder gently, with a warm light in her eyes. "Yuzhu, we are friends, no need to be polite. As long as you are happy, I am happy."

In the following days, He Yuzhu's snack bar gradually got on the right track and the business became more and more prosperous. He and Qin Huairu took care of everything in the store together, cooperated tacitly, and their relationship became closer.

However, life is always full of challenges and uncertainties. One evening, He Yuzhu was busy preparing food for the next day when he suddenly received a call. A strange voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. He? I'm from the bank. There are some problems with your loan here. Please come as soon as possible."

He Yuzhu put down his work, feeling a little uneasy. He knew that he had applied for a loan from the bank when he opened the store, but he didn't expect that there would be problems now. He quickly packed up his things, said hello to Qin Huairu, and hurried to the bank.

Arriving at the bank, He Yuzhu met the manager who was in charge of handling his loan. The manager looked serious, handed him a document, and said, "Mr. He, we found some problems with your loan application, which may need to be reviewed again."

He Yuzhu took the document and felt nervous. He flipped through the document and found that the problem was with his credit record. It turned out that he had a record of overdue repayment a few years ago, which was now discovered by the bank and affected the loan approval.

"Manager, this matter is very important to me. My store has just opened and funds are very tight. I can't make any mistakes." He Yuzhu said anxiously.

The manager nodded to show his understanding. "Mr. He, we will handle this matter as soon as possible, but you need to provide some additional supporting documents to prove your repayment ability and credit status."

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, knowing that this matter could not be delayed. "Okay, I will prepare the materials as soon as possible, thank you for your help."

Back at the store, He Yuzhu told Qin Huairu what happened. Qin Huairu showed a trace of worry after hearing this. "Yuzhu, this matter cannot be taken lightly. It must be resolved as soon as possible. Just let me know if you need my help."

He Yuzhu nodded and said gratefully: "Huai Ru, thank you. I will prepare the materials as soon as possible and hope to solve this problem smoothly."

In the next few days, He Yuzhu was busy with the business in the store while running around various departments to prepare the supporting documents required for the loan. During this period, his pressure became greater, but he never gave up. He knew that only by persisting could he truly realize his dream.

Qin Huairu saw this and felt distressed and worried. She tried her best to share the store affairs so that He Yuzhu would have more time and energy to deal with the loan issue. Whenever she saw He Yuzhu's tired figure, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Finally, with the help of Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu successfully prepared all the materials. He went to the bank again and handed the documents to the manager. After carefully reviewing them, the manager nodded and said, "Mr. He, your materials are complete. We will process your loan application as soon as possible. Please wait a few days."

He Yuzhu returned to the store and saw Qin Huairu busy in the kitchen, and the fatigue in his heart was slightly relieved. He walked over and said softly: "Huairu, the matter at the bank has been resolved for the time being, and the next step depends on how fast they can handle it."

Qin Huairu turned her head and showed a concerned expression: "Yuzhu, that's great! You've been very busy these days, take a rest first, I'll take care of these."

He Yuzhu nodded, but he still felt a little uneasy. He knew that although this matter had come to an end for the time being, there would still be many challenges in the future. He walked to the door of the store and looked at the street outside, with a complex emotion in his heart.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu pushed the door open and walked in with a bad look on his face. He walked straight to He Yuzhu and said coldly, "He Yuzhu, I have something to tell you."

He Yuzhu turned around and looked at Jia Dongxu, feeling something was wrong. "Dongxu, what's the matter? Just say it."

Jia Dongxu put his hands on his waist, his eyes full of hostility. "He Yuzhu, you opened this store in such a good location, and it caused my previous business to plummet. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

He Yuzhu was stunned and frowned. "Dongxu, I rented this land legitimately. You can't blame me for the poor business. Everyone has his own business, and competition is normal."

Jia Dongxu sneered, his tone even sharper. "You say it lightly, but do you know how much I lost because of the bad business? This can't be explained in a few words."

He Yuzhu felt a surge of anger. He knew Jia Dongxu was always arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be so unreasonable. "Dongxu, I understand how you feel, but this is not for me to decide. We are all neighbors. If you have anything to say, just talk it over. Don't be so unreasonable."

Jia Dongxu obviously didn't intend to give up, he took a step forward and approached He Yuzhu. "He Yuzhu, I don't care about these, I just want you to close this store, otherwise we're not done!"

Qin Huairu heard the quarrel and hurried over, standing next to He Yuzhu, trying to persuade them. "Dongxu, calm down. We are all neighbors. If there is any problem, we can discuss it properly."

Jia Dongxu glared at Qin Huairu, his tone full of dissatisfaction. "Huairu, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't interfere!"

He Yuzhu was even more furious when he saw this, but he tried his best to control his emotions and said calmly: "Dongxu, this won't solve the problem. If you have any objections, you can contact the property management or the Chamber of Commerce, and we can negotiate a solution together. But it's impossible for me to close the store."

Jia Dongxu was obviously unwilling to give up. He snorted coldly, walked out of the store, and left a threatening message: "He Yuzhu, just wait, this is not over yet!"
