Secretary Zhang's face showed signs of hesitation.
After a pause, he said, "Sister Hua, I certainly want to accommodate you, but you know that Comrade Cornell's issue is quite serious. There are many people from higher up keeping an eye on it, and it's not something that just a word or two from me can resolve, especially Deputy Secretary Fabian Vincent from the municipal party committee, who's been relentlessly pursuing it. I'm really in a tough spot."
Cornell?
Upon hearing this name.
Dirk Carter shivered slightly.
Although he hadn't yet taken office in Koryn City.
He knew there was a member of the municipal party committee, standing committee, and vice mayor named Cornell Morgan there—could it be the same person?
Sister Hua smiled faintly.
She stood up.
Walked to the side of the office desk.
And brought over a box she had prepared in advance.
Placed it onto the coffee table.
With a snap, the box opened, facing Secretary Zhang.
