Shen Hanxiu's gaze was sharp as he looked at the minister and spoke lightly, "Sit."
The minister did as told, trembling, his eyes darting to the documents in front of him, then back to Shen Hanxiu. Before the minister could speak, Shen Hanxiu said, "As the head of the second financial department, are you in charge of the building materials expenses?"
The minister was momentarily stunned before he nodded laboriously, "Yes, President Shen... Is there a problem?"
Xue Qi, sensing something was wrong, immediately wanted to excuse herself, "Minister... You two talk, I'll go work outside."
Shen Hanxiu spoke up promptly to stop her, "Hold on."
After stopping Xue Qi, Shen Hanxiu then looked at Yang Zichen, who then said to the minister, "Minister Wang, who has been in charge of the lumber accounts recently?"
Since all accounts were signed, Yang Zichen's question was clearly rhetorical. The minister couldn't lie, "Because of the account trail... it was done by an intern."
