Uncle!

Afternoon.

Ministry of Finance.

In a lounge in an annex building, Dong Xuebin, Yan Yizhi, and Chen Xiaomei were all getting hungry, their stomachs growling as they could only stare at one another.

Yan Yizhi ventured, "County Chief Dong."

Dong Xuebin said, "You're all hungry? Wait a little longer."

Yan Yizhi said, "But if we wait, Director Qian's side has already..."

Dong Xuebin cut him off. "We'll go out to eat later. Bear with it."

Since the leader had spoken, Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei did not dare say anything more, though they were both privately puzzled.

Just then, Chen Xiaomei's cousin Zhang Hui came hurrying over from the distance. "Xiao Mei, why are you all here? I've been looking everywhere for you!"

Chen Xiaomei froze. "Cousin, what happened?"

Zhang Hui said quickly, "Come with me, hurry! Don't ask anything!"

Yan Yizhi hurriedly stood up. "Director Zhang, what exactly is..."

"Talk while we walk. You've really struck it lucky." Zhang Hui lowered his voice. "I just heard Director Qian say that Minister Xie from the Ministry of Finance wants to see you."

Chen Xiaomei exclaimed, "Minister Xie? Which Minister Xie?"

Zhang Hui looked at her. "Which other Minister Xie could there be? Didn't you see him just now?"

Chen Xiaomei and Yan Yizhi could not help drawing sharp breaths. "Minister Xie wants to see us?"

"I don't know what's going on either." Zhang Hui said, "Maybe the Ministry of Finance has some support plan for impoverished counties. You happened to run into him, so you caught the opportunity."

Yan Yizhi grew excited at once.

Chen Xiaomei was equally thrilled.

Dong Xuebin merely chuckled. Some damn support plan.

A while later, Director Qian appeared at the entrance as well. He gave Dong Xuebin, Yan Yizhi, and the others a long look.
