Secretary Zhang had mentioned all these things, and Jiang Chen had naturally heard of them before. However, there was really no need to bring up these official policies at this time, and sure enough, Secretary Zhang soon revealed the meaning behind his words.
There was a gap between the funds earmarked from above and their pre-planned budget.
"Isn't this the government's business? Why don't you go to the higher-ups for money?"
Wu Guangjiang couldn't help but say, lacking in education and not understanding the art of beating around the bush.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Secretary Zhang's face, but he stopped short of speaking.
As the village secretary, he needed achievements. To ask for more money from above would be an admission of his insufficient capabilities.
"How big is the shortfall?"
Lan Peizhi asked, straightforward and to the point.
"Not much, just one and a half million would be enough."
Secretary Zhang hurriedly replied.
One and a half million?
