Chapter 623: Chapter 567: Deadlock

Qingbai City meeting room.

Members of the special investigation team from the ministries, provincial departments, Changyang City Bureau, and Qingbai City Bureau were all in a heated debate. Previously, everyone got along amiably, inviting each other out for meals, chatting over drinks.

It was when the topic of budget came up that everyone was still very restrained, whether one party was contributing a bit more or a bit less, they could always come to an agreement.

That was until they heard the story of Xu Taining...

"Our budget has already reached its limit!"

"Ours is maxed out as well."

"Who can bear this."

Liu Jinghui didn't need to discuss the budget issue and sat distantly, whispering to Jiang Yuan beside him, "Honestly, with all the trouble it takes to request Xu's assistance each time, if we can't make use of him this time, let's not bother inviting him."
