Cheng Yuan was utterly distressed. Why couldn't the executive director believe him?
"Executive director, I'm just the lowest-ranking Deputy Town Chief. Ma Guorong arranged it this way because he thought he had me cornered! It also serves as insurance for them; if there were ever any issues with the dam and bridge later on, they could pin the blame on me!"
"The reason I requested to apply for the special fund was precisely because I didn't want to be the scapegoat. Moreover, I wanted to do something tangible for the people of Lingshan Town."
"Stepping back, establishing a special fund is all to your benefit with no harm! If a major issue arises in a project under your supervision, wouldn't you also have to take responsibility?"
Shen Manwen furrowed her brows deeply, carefully contemplating Cheng Yuan's words.
