Jiang Tao caught the hint immediately. He nodded and said, "Station Manager Mo, you need to sell them according to the allotted price! After all, this seed station belongs to the government." This was a reminder for Mo Deli to be fair and do not use public goods in exchange for favors.
Mo Deli was annoyed by this. He cursed Xiao Lingyu. 'What a fool. I was trying to be nice, and you don't know how to appreciate it.'
He was dissatisfied with Xiao Lingyu because Xiao Lingyu stood in his way. This was a good opportunity for Mo Deli to endear himself to Jiang Tao, but Xiao Lingyu had put a stop to that. However, since Mo Deli was not clear about the nature of the relationship between Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Tao, he did not voice his unhappiness.
