How should we deal with this person? 37.4 -> 13

Hi all,

I hope you are all well. I have been away from the forums for a few months, but am back with what seems like a straightforward Yi answer to a question-- but I'd love to hear other interpretations.

I asked, "How should we deal with [x]?". "We" is myself and my partner, who are in business together. X is a sort of middleman we've recently had to deal with who is very well connected but possibly not all he seems. I don't think he would out-and-out cheat us out of money, but I also feel like he is not telling us the whole story on some of his connections and what his motivation is totally in working with us. He's just a little...shady. And neither my partner nor I like shady.

I received 37.4 ... which seems to be quite explicitly telling me that my suspicions are not entirely unfounded, and that we should counteract the uneasiness by forcing him to be very clear and above board ("expenditures and income well balanced"). We specifically asked him for clarification on a matter in that area a few days ago, and he has not replied. So that was on my mind in asking as well.

13 makes sense in this context too as the resulting hexagram, since this really is about relationships with other people (this man came to us through another business connection).

I guess what I'm really asking is, do any of you have personal experience with 37.4? And how did it turn out? Thank you!

Update, despite no replies:

We decided not to work with him in anything but the barest capacity. Once he realized that, he paid what he owed us immediately and was very respectful. I still feel like it would have been more difficult if we'd gotten more entangled. We've now wrapped things up with him.

Thanks for updating mulberry - it's frustrating clicking on a thread that noone answered let alone not getting the outcome so good on you.
Actually it would be great if all threads started were completed with the final outcome. I may be guilty of not updating but when I do come across one of my own I update it then.
