Zhang Cheng didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he had expected it all along.
"Such a huge hole, Director Bai, even if I go bankrupt, it's just a drop in the ocean."
Bai Huafeng waved his hands repeatedly: "Xiao Zhang, you've misunderstood. No matter how difficult things are in the city, we can't let you shoulder the burden alone. What I mean is, I'd like to ask for your help in attracting some investment."
