Chu Youwei had met that burly man once before at the banquet; his name was Zhi Mang.
"Lord Mengdie is resting. General, if you have anything to say, please feel free to speak to me."
General Zhi Mang looked on with suspicion and sized up Chu Youwei from head to toe. He naturally thought of Chu Youwei, since he had seen her at the banquet.
"Either way is fine. Just sign the one on your left."
Chu Youwei slowly sized up the general in front of her, and naturally noticed that the general's divine sense had inadvertently swept over her, since the other party did not intend to hide it.
But before Chu Youwei could even pick up the document, the general spoke again with a suspicious look on his face.
"Are you capable of making that decision?"
Chu Youwei merely glanced at the general and said calmly, "My name is Chu Youwei. If it's reasonable, I can make the decision."
Chu Youwei...
Who is it?
To put it bluntly, they had only met once in the council hall. General Zhi Mang did not know Chu Youwei; he had only heard that she was a woman Su Cheng had brought back from another world.
Having said that, he activated his divine sense again and examined the area carefully...
"This is His Majesty's mark..."
Chu Youwei ignored Zhi Mang and simply flipped through the documents, examining them carefully.
After a long while, Chu Youwei carefully read through it and then spoke frankly.
"For this chapter, you need to go find Xiao Ai. This is military business, isn't it?"
"Stamping it with the seal of Chaoxia Hall won't help. Military approvals only accept the seals of Zhuoxin Hall and Fuyue Hall, don't you know that?"
Zhi Mang instinctively wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat.
This Chu Youwei is no ordinary person; she's from Sucheng, so the mark on her back can't be fake.
"But Xiao Ai told me to ask Fuyue Palace for it first, saying she doesn't have any money!"
Xiao Ai is notoriously rich. Her Qingyue Heavy Armor is basically the Su City Guard, equipped with the latest and best weapons and equipment!
But Xiao Ai is also notoriously stingy!
She only steals from others; don't even think about squeezing money out of her!
Chu Youwei certainly noticed the problem. Although she didn't know exactly what the problem was, she was certain that there was something wrong with this item!
"General, you know that even if Lady Mengdie were awake, she wouldn't approve this kind of document."
"His Majesty often says that you generals have spent your lives on the battlefield and have worked very hard. Youwei also knows that the generals have unspeakable suffering."
"But General, you should also be understanding of Xiao Ai and Lady Mengdie, shouldn't you? Managing this household isn't easy either."
Upon hearing this, General Zhi Mang was also a little angry. This brat was lecturing him?
But just as the general was about to speak, he saw Chu Youwei's expression change.
“If the general trusts Youwei, Youwei can help you.”
General Zhi Mang was also taken aback when he heard this, thinking to himself, "Does Chu Youwei really dare to say such a thing?"
"Speak, I am listening."
Chu Youwei remained calm, simply making a couple of marks on the document before closing it.
Chu Youwei, who had been sitting in Mengdie's seat, picked up the documents and slowly stood up, then walked to General Zhimang.
"I know that the general has his own difficulties, but in my humble opinion, I'm afraid the general may not have seen the contents of this document himself."
"Moreover, General's trip is indeed unfortunate, and it is indeed inconvenient for Lady Mengdie to entertain guests."
After speaking, Chu Youwei handed the document to the burly man, gesturing for him to open it and take a look. She then glanced in Mengdie's direction, indicating that she should not make a fuss, before continuing.
"General, you might as well take the documents back first. Youwei can talk to Xiao'ai about this and see if Xiao'ai can help you find a way to raise some money. If that doesn't work, Youwei is also willing to do her part for you."
This is of course pure fabrication. Where would Chu Youwei get such a big face?
Let alone Chu Youwei, even Su Cheng would find it difficult to deduct money from Xiao Ai!
Apart from necessary military spending, Xiao Ai strictly controls all other expenditures, but even so, the budget is still insufficient.
Xiao Ai can only supplement her wallet by occasionally betting on rich players.
However, Chu Youwei had just used her pen to mark out all the unreasonable items in the document, so she believed that the general wasn't a fool.
At this point, Chu Youwei quickly realized that, to put it bluntly, Xiao Ai and Mengdie were just passing the buck.
Xiao Ai is so smart; she could probably tell something was wrong with this document just by glancing at it.
But Xiao Ai naturally couldn't offend her subordinate, since Su Cheng still needed to rely on her. If she discovered that there was a problem with this project and didn't punish her, she would probably have even more trouble in the future!
Xiao Ai, of course, wouldn't do something that would offend people, so she simply forwarded the document to Fuyue Hall and told Zhi Mang that she had no money and asked Zhi Mang to ask Meng Die for it.
Chu Youwei felt that if she didn't come, the two of them must have planned to play the good cop and the bad cop.
This way, Xiao Ai can save a lot of expenses and make Zhi Mang grateful to her. After all, if something like this happens in Fuyue Hall, the military can only send someone to plead for her, right?
It's actually a small matter. If Xiao Ai is in a good mood or has extra money, she can approve it directly without any problem.
But right now, Xiao Ai really doesn't have any money. In this huge inner city, everyone who can breathe is asking her for money. Where is she supposed to find money?
As for Mengdie, it seems they just happened to catch this little dummy and decided to test her.
Just as Chu Youwei had expected, after reviewing the documents, the general initially seemed somewhat angry, but then decided to see what Chu Youwei was up to.
But after seeing the amounts drawn up by Chu Youwei, he quickly understood the problem.
