CLAP! CLAP!
Mao Fang clapped enthusiastically, and a few people at the table trying to curry favor with the couple followed suit. However, most of the guests paid them no mind. He's just a pipsqueak of an official, yet he loves putting on airs. It's exasperating.
Zhang Chao continued, "I've witnessed the care you've all shown our Matron over the years. And I'll say it again: I have some influence in this county. If any of you need my help, don't hesitate to ask!"
Everyone was rendered speechless. Is this guy for real? Help? He's said that plenty of times over the years but hasn't lifted a finger to do a single thing.
