"No money?"
Song Guanchao was taken aback.
Zeng Li said, "Besides this situation, I can't think of any other reason that would make a local Finance Bureau proactively seek funds from the Judicial Bureau."
"And..."
"Don't you find it strange? From land acquisition to demolition, and now to demolition compensation... why has Mayor Zheng been constantly involved?"
"Zheng Bihui is, after all, the head of the City Government. Could it be just to irritate Sister Weiwei?"
"Anyway, I've never seen any Mayor waste time and energy on such matters. Explaining it merely as an intention to disgust people seems far-fetched."
"To me, his actions seem more like deliberate delays in project progress, delaying the Finance Bureau's disbursements."
"However..."
Zeng Li furrowed her brow again, "How could the Finance Bureau have no money?"
"I remember the high-speed rail project was something Mayor Zheng applied for from the province, right?"
Song Guanchao nodded.
