Rewind the clock by half an hour.

At that time, Zhou Xianzong and Lin Xiaoying came to the headquarters of the General Chamber of Commerce to submit the application report for cultivation resources for the coming year on behalf of the Dongjiang Martial Arts Bureau.

After the report was submitted, the two waited for more than 20 minutes, and finally the report was returned.

The person who informed them that the application report was not approved was the secretary of Vice Minister Gu in charge of the resource treasure house of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and his name was Wu Mingze.

The other party handed the report back to Zhou Xianzong, and said indifferently:

"This report is unlikely to be approved, so let's revise it again and then apply for it."

Zhou Xianzong and Lin Xiaoying were both surprised by this.

The two glanced at each other, and then, Zhou Xianzong looked at the secretary Wu, with a flattering smile on his face, and asked:

"Secretary Wu, can you tell me what went wrong? This report was drafted by me myself, carefully reviewed, and does not increase much resources compared to previous years, so it should not be overpassed. ”

Wu Mingze said lightly:

"There are too many resources applied for in the report, you Dongjiang can only apply for one-third of the above cultivation resources at most, and if you exceed this amount, it is impossible to be approved."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianzong and Lin Xiaoying were stunned.

The Dongjiang Martial Arts Bureau can only apply for one-third of the cultivation resources on the report?

Why?!

This question popped up in both of their minds, and they all looked at Wu Mingze, wanting a reasonable explanation.

However, Wu Mingze didn't seem to want to explain anything, and after dropping these words, he turned around and was about to go upstairs, intending to go back to his office.

With such a disdainful attitude, where can Zhou Xianzong still endure it?

He immediately grabbed the other party, forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible:

"Secretary Wu, we haven't made any mistakes in the Dongjiang Martial Arts Bureau this year, right? Let's Dongjiang can only apply for one-third of the cultivation resources, is there no explanation at all? ”

"Before I came, I asked other brother provinces, and they can apply for more resources than in previous years, why can't we apply more on the Dongjiang side, but also reduce resources?"

Wu Mingze glanced at Zhou Xianzong's hand holding his clothes, and his face instantly turned cold.

He said coldly:

"Why are you embarrassed to ask me?"

"What achievements have you made in the past year? Other provinces have applied for resources and cultivated one or two martial arts masters, what do you have in Dongjiang? ”

"I approve so many resources for you every year, but as a result, there is not a single martial arts master, so many resources are wasted, and it is not bad that you have not removed your Dongjiang Martial Arts Bureau, and you still have the face to ask me to explain, hum!"

This reprimand can be said to have not left half of Zhou Xianzong's face.

You know, this is the lobby on the first floor of the Treasure House Building!

In the scene of people coming and going, after being scolded like this, countless eyes looked at it, Zhou Xianzong's face was red, and he could hardly raise his head.

Lin Xiaoying on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

"Secretary Wu, you don't need to be so excessive, right? We ......"

As soon as she was halfway through speaking, Zhou Xianzong stopped her and prevented her from continuing to speak.

Zhou Xianzong didn't want Lin Xiaoying to offend Wu Mingze.

This girl is a practical person, and her heart is not bad, she has just become a martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm, and she was transferred from the Police Security Bureau to the Military Affairs Bureau, and became an official member of the Dongjiang Martial Arts Bureau.

There is still a great future in the future, and it is not cost-effective to offend Wu Mingze for this.

In fact, Zhou Xianzong was also very annoyed in his heart.

He is also the director of the Provincial Martial Arts Bureau, and his identity is only higher than this Wu Mingze, but the other party represents Gu Chenan, Deputy Minister of the Military Affairs Department.

This Vice Minister Gu holds the treasure house of the General Chamber of Commerce, and he has the final say in the distribution of cultivation resources to the martial arts bureaus below every year.

Even if Zhou Xianzong was not satisfied, he didn't dare to turn his face directly with Wu Mingze.

He pulled Lin Xiaoying behind him and didn't let the girl interject, then looked at Wu Mingze, opened his mouth with embarrassment and resentment, and said:

"Secretary Wu, our Dongjiang has also produced a martial arts master!"

Wu Mingze nodded, with a sarcastic expression:

"Yes, it's out, I know who you're talking about, that Ning Zhenxiong, right?"

"And where is he now? Broke through the Martial Arts Grandmaster, why didn't you see him come with you? ”

Zhou Xianzong was speechless.

Ning Zhenxiong naturally couldn't follow.

People are dead, how can they come over?

But he couldn't explain this matter to Wu Mingze, so he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Although Ning Zhenxiong didn't come, the Deputy Minister Ding of your Martial Arts Department saw it with his own eyes when he went to Dongjiang, and he has indeed achieved a martial arts master."

When Wu Mingze heard this, he sneered a few times and said disdainfully:

"Then you can go to the Vice Minister Ding and ask her to give you an application report."

"She's seen it but not me, who knows if what you're saying is true or not?"

Zhou Xianzong's face was extremely ugly.

What Wu Mingze meant was that he had made up his mind not to give them the Dongjiang Martial Arts Bureau to approve this resource application report.

But the other party is holding on to the problem of the martial arts master, and he can't solve it immediately!

For a while, Zhou Xianzong had no choice but to soften his attitude, held Wu Mingze's right hand with both hands, and begged bitterly:

"Secretary Wu, one-third is really too little, give more, at least ...... At least it's the same as last year, right? Otherwise, how will I explain to the people below when I go back? ”

Wu Mingze had long run out of patience, he shook off Zhou Xianzong's hand, and said with a disgusted expression:

"What do you have to do with me?"

"I can give you a third of the approval, it's already to give you face, don't be ignorant, hurry up."

"If the harassment continues, I'll have to notify the guards!"

With that, he stayed no longer, turned and stepped up the stairs.

Joke, this Dongjiang Martial Arts Bureau is not the sphere of influence of their faction, why do they have so many resources?

Cultivation resources are already tight, and the people of their own faction are not enough. Not to mention that there was none, and even if there were, there was no way he would allow this report to be submitted.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoying couldn't hold back any longer.

She didn't care about Zhou Xianzong's obstruction, and shouted at Wu Mingze's back:

"Secretary Wu, you are just a secretary to Vice Minister Gu, and your rank is not as high as our director, why do you talk to our director like this?"

"Whether the resource application report submitted by our Dongjiang Military Affairs Bureau is not approved or not, and how much it is approved, it is up to Vice Minister Gu to have the final say. You, a secretary, took our report and stuffed it back untouched, and said that it could only approve one-third! ”

"Who gave you the power?"

"You call Vice Minister Gu, I'll ask him, is it true that our Dongjiang Martial Arts Bureau can only apply for one-third of last year's cultivation resources next year!"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Mingze, who had already walked up half of the stairs, suddenly turned around.

His face was extremely gloomy, and the momentum of the peak cultivation of the Bone Refining Realm suddenly pressed towards Lin Xiaoying:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"This is the headquarters of the General Chamber of Commerce, I am the secretary of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Martial Affairs, what am I doing, when is it your turn to intervene as a woman?"
