Huang Xiaojue went to answer the door. A security guard stood there, holding a notice. "Sir," he said, "it's time to pay the property management fee. Your unit has been in arrears for half a year already."
Yan Xixi took the notice, looked at it, and said, "You've got the wrong door. This notice is for Unit 1 on the 9th floor; I'm in Unit 1 on the 5th floor. Besides, I pay my property management fee in full every month. I have no overdue payments."
The security guard was astonished. "Really?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Huang Xiaojue.
Huang Xiaojue glared at him fiercely. What was this guy up to? Why was he creating trouble at this time?
He felt that something was off. Eyeing the security guard suspiciously, he abruptly stepped forward. "You're a security guard. Why are you collecting the property management fee?"
"Calm down, calm down... Sir, to tell you the truth, I'm collecting it on behalf of the office... Here, look at my work ID..."
