Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1388

The mindset of soldiers differed from that of politicians. What seemed impossible to him might not be the case for Pan Chiyan.

Pan Chiyan thought for a long while before he said, "It's not impossible, but I need to consult the leaders first."

"Cousin, if the leaders agree to the deal, then please prepare a written agreement with the official seal. Otherwise, the supplier won't sell even a single grain to us," Houzi reminded him.

This time, Pan Chiyan was stunned. He had planned to solve the crisis first and then deal with the black market later. He hadn't expected the supplier to demand a formal agreement.

With such a document, it would be difficult to take action against the supplier in the future. Once the agreement was revealed, it could undermine the laws and principles they were trying to uphold.

After thinking for a moment, Pan Chiyan asked, "Cousin, is it possible for us to get the grains first?"

Houzi, fully aware of how cunning politicians could be, shook his head. He looked at his cousin and said, "Cousin, without the agreement, there will be no grain."

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Pan Chiyan nodded and said, "I understand. I will give you an answer by noon at the latest."

After saying this, he finished his tea and left with Xie Xuanzi.

When they returned to the state-owned inn, Pan Chiyan made a phone call to his leader. After a moment, the call connected, and he said, "Sir, it's me, Pan Chiyan."

Hearing this, the mayor asked, "Chiyan, how is it? Can you get the grain?"

"Sir, we can get 100 tons of grain, but they are demanding a written agreement stating that we won't interfere with the grain business in the capital. They also want us to pay a delivery fee, as they will only use their own people to transport the grain," Pan Chiyan replied.

After he said this, he heard soft murmuring from the other side. It seemed the leaders were in a meeting and had been waiting for his update.

A few minutes later, the mayor said, "Chiyan, you can agree to their request. Send the grain over as soon as possible. Once we receive it, we will send the written agreement."

Pan Chiyan had already guessed this and said, "Sir, the supplier made it clear—no written agreement, no deal. They want the agreement stamped with the official seal."

As soon as he said this, the mayor responded with a hint of anger, "Such arrogance! These people know they are violating the law and still dare to make so many demands!"

"Sir, it's actually not a bad thing to let them sell the grain," Pan Chiyan said cautiously.

"Chiyan, what do you mean by that?" the mayor asked.

Pan Chiyan paused for a moment before explaining, "Although 100 tons sounds like a lot, it's barely enough for internal distribution. If the commoners can obtain grain from another source, it will ease the burden on the state-owned grain and supply store."
