Zhang Meilin was surprised and said, "He still doesn't know?"
"He knows, but not a lot."
Minister Zhou took out a cigarette and handed one to him.
Zhang Meilin stood up voluntarily, lit it for him, and only then sat back down to light his own.
Minister Zhou said, "I'll briefly go over things with you first, so you have a general idea of what's going on. When you meet him tonight, you'll know what needs to be done."
Zhang Meilin immediately sat up straight.
"Have you read all the materials Wen Jun sent you?"
"I have."
"The old city redevelopment project has been turned over to Secretary Lu by Mayor Zheng. The original budget for this project was already prepared, but due to sudden financing for the high-speed rail project, the city needs to allocate an additional two or three billion yuan annually."
"Financially, there's no extra money. Secretary Lu can only draw funds from the old city redevelopment project."
