Chapter 921 - The Cup of Tea (2/2)

As he thought about it, he couldn’t help but glance at the bureau chief beside him.

When he met his gaze, Bureau Chief Chen smiled unnaturally. “Oh, it must have been my subordinate’s negligence. I’ve never seen this proposal properly before either.”

“Is that so?”

Shi Yuting turned his head and looked at Xiangyi.

Xiangyi looked momentarily at Shi Yuting before turning back to Bureau Chief Chen. “I’m afraid that is not true. Previously, I had handed the entire proposal to Bureau Chief Chen and watched him read it. In fact, he even increased the price by 8%.”

8%?!

Hearing Xiangyi’s words, the mayor’s face immediately darkened, and he turned to Bureau Chief Chen, glaring at him.

Having been exposed, Bureau Chief Chen started to get anxiously uneasy.

“Well, I-I didn’t see the figures properly. I must have missed a ‘0’.”

“There weren’t any 0’s in the price I gave,” said Shi Yuting.

This time, Bureau Chief Chen was completely flustered.

The mayor’s face turned ashen.

8% was not a small amount. He was obviously just trying to fill his own pockets!

“Go write a letter of apology and hand it over!” Mayor Xia insisted sternly to Bureau Chief Chen.

Bureau Chief Chen had no choice but to nod his head.

“Sorry for making a fool of myself,” said Mayor Xia to Shi Yuting.

Shi Yuting chuckled and was about to pick up the tea again because he was indeed a little thirsty.

However, he paused again when his hand touched the teacup.
