Jiang Yifan, watched closely by Ye Xinyan and Jinrong, showed no sign of discomfort and spoke with his usual candor and gentleness, "Please forgive my frankness, educating the common people is the duty of a local official.

I have also heard that the shop is in negotiations to purchase the adjacent shops and residential houses. If they continue to do business this way, the Qi family's prosperity is just around the corner."
