Chapter 1120: Newcomers in Office 1041

“The proposal from the subordinate…” In the financial department office of the Wenhua Hall a few days later, Wang Yucái looked somewhat nervously at the stunningly beautiful Imperial Concubine Alice.

To be honest, aside from her blonde hair and blue eyes, Wang Yucái had to admit that the Concubine, once known as the most beautiful woman of the Northern Ridge, was indeed pretty.

With an additional aura of nobility, Alice sitting there fully met every fantasy a man might have of a female boss in the workplace. She didn’t look at all like a mother of several children, maintaining an impeccable figure.

However, what made Wang Yucái nervous was not Alice’s beauty, but the funding proposal he had submitted the day before, which she was holding in her hands.

Chen Jing, the new Vice Minister, had submitted to him a construction plan to expand the throughput capacity of Beiyuan City port. This plan was full of ambitions, actually requesting a construction fund of 150 million Tang Yuan in one gulp.

Heaven knows where Chen Jing got the confidence to ask for more than a hundred million Gold Coins at once: Wang Yucái, serving as the Minister of Revenue for the Dahua Empire for so many years, had never seen what a real one hundred million Gold Coins looked like.

“Such proposals can directly be delivered by the secretary of the attendant’s office next time. Vice Minister Wang, are you bored with nothing to do? To deliver the application by yourself?” Alice had long been accustomed to seeing such official documents with that kind of expression.

The Ministry of Industry on the other side really had been spending money as if it were no object. A casual project application would exceed one billion, and it wasn’t unusual to see some projects involve several tens or even hundreds of billions.
