The cabin seemed small, but its actual size was quite large.
Baiyu walked in, twisting and turning, and finally arrived at the office of the Minister of the Action Department.
The living quarters of this Minister were even more luxurious than his headquarters in Villiduo.
Everywhere one looked, there were green-glazed porcelain, sandalwood furniture.
There were also some landscape paintings that seemed to be the work of famous artists. Although such artworks were not as rare in this world as they were on Earth, they were still unattainable for the average person.
A real connoisseur of enjoyment.
And someone who pursued art, which was quite rare among martial artists.
Baiyu did not have a prejudice against martial artists, after all, he was one himself. Most of his time was spent studying and training, leaving little room for other considerations.
He knocked twice, a clear humming sound resonating back.
The wooden door was opened by a burly man.
Baiyu was slightly taken aback, knowing that the Minister of the Action Department was a woman, which was information he had ascertained earlier.
Among the three departments.
The Ministers of the Inspection Department and Logistics Department were both men.
Only the Action Department.
Seemed to be led by a woman, which was quite rare since most in the military were men.
Thus, Baiyu remembered.
The man opening the door seemed rather intriguing.
Since this was the Shelter, it seemed that the Action Minister had not moved out to live elsewhere, melding work and living space, transforming from a nine-to-nine to a round-the-clock schedule.
If it were just an office, it would be different.
This was the Minister’s residence, and the appearance of a man indeed made Baiyu think in a skewed direction.
Had he barge in on something he wasn’t supposed to?
The man looked burly yet honest, responding swiftly without losing composure, "You actually came in person, without announcing, my lady was just sending someone to smooth things out with money outside."
The key words the man mentioned were utterly perplexing to him.
Sending someone with money?
The man saw the confusion on Baiyu’s face, clapping his hands, self-blaming yet smiling, "You see, the former President probably didn’t tell you about my lady’s special situation?"
"No, I only knew Shang Yufei was the Minister of the Action Department, I didn’t even manage to meet her when the departments gathered the other day."
Baiyu admitted straightforwardly.
The man confirmed, "President, the Shang Family has always worked in the Veterans Mutual Aid Association.
My lady’s father was the previous Minister of Action.
After his retirement.
He handed the position of Minister of Action to my lady, a decision the former President endorsed.
The Action Department has thrived, handling many affairs smoothly.
But the funds have been somewhat scarce.
My lady often used family money to fill these gaps.
Another similar affair arose, my lady is sending money now but is sure to get a lecture from the elders at home."
The man looked a bit worried.
Always taking money from home to patch gaps, once or twice might be fine, but frequently, no one can stand it.
It seemed.The financial crisis of the Action Department was far more serious than he had imagined.
"President, I will take you inside now, my lady must have calmed down by now."
The man pushed open the door.
The whole room was about a hundred square meters wide.
All necessary living amenities were present; the living room also had a desk full of documents and files.
Really was a true 007.
The wooden door inside was pushed open, and a pretty girl with a face full of anger came out.
However, upon seeing Baiyu, she froze for a moment.
Baiyu extended his hand, smiling, "I came to the Action Department today to understand the situation, and just happened to encounter the matter outside.
What exactly is going on?
If there’s any problem, you can tell me."
Shang Yufei was still not very familiar with the newly appointed President.
She had always been hot-tempered.
Her own strength is not weak, allowing her to hold down the people in the Action Department.
Facing Baiyu, she inexplicably softened a bit, "Old trouble, the Mutual Aid Association has an obligation to help old soldiers, but sometimes accidents happen.
The old man from this family was originally treated in our Mutual Aid Association Hospital, but due to accumulated injuries from his younger days and the decay with age, his Blood Qi depleted, we could only use medicine to prolong his life. Newest update provided by novel•fire.net
When he eventually passed away.
This family carried the corpse over."
Baiyu nodded slightly.
He had seen this kind of thing quite a bit, wasn’t this a medical dispute like those on Earth?
The hospital in the Veterans Mutual Aid Association had always been funded by the Association to treat veteran free of charge.
