Within a few steps, Meng Yuanbai had reached the entrance of the Hall of Political Harmony.
He tidied up his attire and adjusted his facial expression before he stepped inside and approached a door at the deepest part of the hall. He knocked solemnly, "Official Meng Yuanbai, acting on orders to come here. I wonder if the Minister has time to spare for a meeting?"
The Ministers' offices were naturally not all crammed into one room; each had their own separate office. Under normal circumstances, specific officials were responsible for running back and forth, delivering reports and documents. Only during particularly significant matters would the Ministers meet to discuss face to face.
The room deep inside the Hall of Political Harmony belonged to the current Prime Minister, Zhao Hongbo.
Following Meng Yuanbai's voice, a deep and aged voice soon came from inside the room, "Come in."
"Yes."
