"County Magistrate Bai, as you can see, I've invested nearly all of my assets into this department store. If you want me to acquire Ancheng Food Factory, I am truly powerless to do so."
"But that's not the case, Lin, you're overthinking it."
County Magistrate Bai quickly explained as he saw her refusal was resolute.
"Ancheng Food Factory has been losing money year after year, we wouldn't be so unkind as to force this upon you. But this is no small matter, not just for you, Lin, but also for the County Committee. We need to take a long-term view. How about this—once you're done with these busy days, come back to the county and take a look at the current state of Ancheng Food Factory. Even if all you can do, Lin, is offer some advice, as long as it ensures the employees keep their jobs and the over a thousand workers have food on their table, you would have done a great service for Ancheng County."
