Secretary Wu was going to leave with Grandpa Gen and Company Commander Yue. Before he left, he reminded Principle Chen, "Town Mayor Ye seemed unwilling to sign the document. That shows that he is unhappy with the fact that Ye Jian is going to have a new registered residence. The school might need the support of the government in certain areas next time. What you did today… Town Mayor Ye might bear a grudge against you because of this."
The school and the government didn't seem to have any relationship but in fact, they were closely knitted. For instance, if the school wanted funds to renovate their facilities, they needed to go through government sectors.
If Fujun Town Middle School needed funds from the government, the first sector they had to go through was the town government. It was understandable that Secretary Wu would be worried.
He wanted to remind Principal Chen so that he could be prepared for this kind of situation.
