Tianqing forfeited their qualification? Zhongjing got the spot!
The two ministers' words silenced the entire room.
Everyone looked stunned and shocked, exchanging glances, even including the leaders on the review committee.
Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng were particularly dumbfounded and disbelief.
In contrast, Bai Xiaosheng appeared calmer.
After the quiet, the room erupted, and everyone began talking all at once.
"What happened? Why did Tianqing City forfeit their qualification!"
"Incredible, they were almost guaranteed to get the spot!"
"That company in Tianqing indeed had some issues before, but they were brave enough to reveal them themselves and handled everything properly, the province decided not to pursue further, so how could this..."
"I just ran into Dai Mingcheng, the mayor of Tianqing, and I had no idea he was actually here to apply for the forfeiture!"

Amid the babble, people mentioned some things that Ji Mingyang didn't know.
