The county had just completed the construction of a large-scale housing development on both sides of the main street, although the project was contracted to Ma Youren and Xu Xiaowan.
But the county also made a fair amount of money from it.
At such a time, Anzhou County would definitely not be short of money.
The reason Mu Haibing said this was probably just an excuse.
This did make Zhou Qing somewhat displeased.
When the subject came up, Mu Haibing sighed, then shook his head and said, "County Chief Liu, County Chief Zhou, you two are not aware of the situation within the county. The large-scale development previously undertaken has left the county quite in debt. Although we've benefited quite a bit from the main street construction project, it has only just covered our debts."
"If you two don't believe me, you can go and ask Director Zhao from the Finance Bureau and see if I'm lying to you."
