Chapter 1043

Paul was stunned upon hearing Silas‘ remark. He nodded in agreement and said, “Yeah. I think so, too.”

Silas raised an eyebrow and couldn’t believe he actually laughed at that. “Paul, I’m just as busy. It’s hard for me to manage everything when you just drop everything on me like that.”

Paul responded, “Your performance bonus is doubling this month.”

“Okay. Go ahead and do your thing. I’ll take care of things here.”

Paul gave him a pat on the shoulder and walked away. But halfway through, he turned back. “I just remembered your uncle works in the Department of Land and Natural Resources, right?”

“Yeah. Why?” Silas asked.

“Can he pull information on land use and development from there?”

Silas replied, “They should be able to provide it. Local files are submitted to the upper levels, so they are probably available.”

“Then, can you do me a favor?” Paul asked.

About 30 seconds later, Silas looked puzzled. “What exactly are you trying to do?”

Paul grinned before he even spoke. “Meet the parents.”

Silas was even baffled by that response.

“Send it to me when you have it. I’ll treat you to a meal later.”
