But then he sensed something more in Fan Xian's words and couldn't help but ask further.
"Does the Old Man of the Moon know the standards of living for ministerial-level leaders in the Heavenly Court, especially for someone like the Old Man of the Moon who oversees a formal department? How much are their monthly official expenses?" Fan Xian countered by asking Wang Yao.
"Salary and benefits standards? Job-related expenses? What are those?" Wang Yao was a little confused by the question.

If your department wants to operate normally, it will inevitably have to deal with subordinate departments and other departments at the same level, and even with foreign countries."

Think about it, if foreign guests, colleagues, or subordinates want to visit your home, but you don't even have a proper villa, and if you always have to consider whether your salary can afford to give someone a gift, can you still be called a ministerial-level leader?"

"When you treat people to meals or give them gifts because of work, that's what we call official spending. As a ministerial-level leader, your standards in these two areas are practically the highest in Heaven."
Fan Xian stared at Wang Yao and explained.
