The village chief reluctantly glanced at the document twice before returning it to Qin Yao.
"I'm busy these days, if you're in a hurry, you can take it to the government office yourself."
If it were someone else, the village chief wouldn't have said that.
But everyone knows about Qin Yao's good relationship with County Magistrate Song in Kaiyang County, hence the suggestion.
Qin Yao had thought the same but, out of respect for the village chief's hierarchy, gave him some face by not going directly to the county government.
Now that the village chief had said this, she agreed to it readily.
Still early, she bid farewell to the village chief and immediately headed to the county government to deliver the document.
Song Zhang was informed by the government staff and personally came over to join in the fun.
He wasn't wearing his official robes nor was he hosting; he simply stood behind the clerk in charge of school subsidies, watching the proceedings.
