Li Xiao, however, was no longer in a rush.
He glanced at Zhou Jinyu, who still maintained his gentle demeanor. When Zhou Jinyu noticed his gaze, he even offered a nod and a small smile.
Li Xiao lightly tapped the fingers of the hand resting on the table.
'Zhou Jinyu fancies himself clever, but he really doesn't know anything. He's always been one for backstabbing, yet today he suddenly steps forward to attack me. I'm afraid his intentions lie elsewhere.'
Sure enough, someone soon chimed in. "Mr. Li was indeed careless about this. As I recall, the military provisions allocation plan is usually submitted for review at the end of the year. How did word get out at a time like this?"
The man shook his head, casting a disapproving glance at Li Xiao. "This was all baseless rumor, yet it caused such a stir. If the Military Department misunderstands because of this and a rift forms with the base, that will be your responsibility, Mr. Li."
