Director Lin was taken aback and immediately began shifting the blame, "Secretary Ren, it's all my fault. Our town has always been getting our grain seeds from the county town seed company, but who could have expected a sudden change this year? I will make a call right now to inquire and see."
The county town seed company?
"Indeed, we need to inquire."
Director Lin immediately went to make the phone call and came back.
"Secretary, I've called and asked. They said the quality of this year's grain seeds is worse, affected by last year's issues. What should we do now?"
What?
Just a mention of being 'affected' and that's it?
They're only telling them now when it's time to plant?
"You all go back first, I will give you an answer tomorrow," Secretary Ren knew that each team leader had begun to get busy with the spring planting.
This seed issue could not be delayed.
"But Secretary, those seeds, we can't transport them back now."
