Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1390

When Mayor Sun heard Pan Chiyan's words, his eyes lit up. After being on edge for so many days, he had finally received confirmation from the capital that he could continue serving as the mayor. He just didn't know what price he would have to pay for his crime.

Thinking about this, he smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Comrade Pan, is there anything I can help you with?"

Pan Chiyan had been waiting for those words and said, "Comrade Sun, regarding the grain, we have already found a solution."

As soon as he heard this, Mayor Sun straightened his back and asked, "Comrade Pan, did that side agree to your request?"

Pan Chiyan nodded and replied, "It's a done deal, but we still have to pay for the grains. When Comrade Xie and I came to this city, the higher-ups said this matter would be handled by Comrade Sun."

"So today, I came to discuss this with you. I don't know whether Comrade Sun will agree to help us cover the expenses or not," he added meaningfully.

Mayor Sun already knew he would have to pay a price, but he hadn't expected the central government to ask him to cover all the expenses. He knew the price of the grain sold by that middleman, and 10,000 kilograms of rice would cost a fortune.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he asked, "Comrade Pan, may I ask how much grain you secured from that side?"

Pan Chiyan took a sip of tea before replying, "We requested 100 tons of rice and they agreed."

As soon as he heard this, Mayor Sun's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, "100 tons?!"

Raising his gaze, Pan Chiyan looked at him coldly and asked, "Why? Is that too much for Comrade Sun?"

Realizing his loss of composure, Mayor Sun quickly said, "N-no, of course not."

"100 tons is barely enough for our internal distribution, and we still need much more. But considering that Comrade Sun might not have enough funds to cover the expense, we decided to order less," Pan Chiyan said with a sigh.

When he heard this, Mayor Sun cursed him inwardly, but he still had to smile and reply gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, Comrade Pan."

Waving his hand, Pan Chiyan said casually, "We are comrades—it's only natural to help one another."

"Comrade Sun, we need 270,000 yuan by this evening at the latest. I hope you can do your best to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future," he added.

"Comrade Pan, this—"

Before Mayor Sun could negotiate the deadline, Pan Chiyan stood up, followed by Xie Xuanzi.

He looked at the mayor with a gentle smile and said, "Comrade Sun, please send the money directly to that side. I know you have the channels, so you don't have to trouble me with this small matter."
