"Well, the province is currently third within domestic rankings, clearly evident that our industries here are keeping us afloat during this recession." Chaeyoung informed everyone within the governor's office where they are currently.


"Our coordination with the local conglomerates has always benefited us, nothing is better than having our products made here, right at home." The governor stated.


"How about your social welfare systems, governor? With the recession going on, it must've been tough to handle all the programs." Chaeyoung asked.


"Well, as you've said earlier ma'am, our industries are keeping the country afloat, but unfortunately, our social programs are having a hard time to catch up with the demands of the people." The governor reported, causing concerns for Mina.


"Our budget depleted, some are sadly denied their allowances, all in all it's a tight belt for us." The governor added.


"That is our grave concern now governor, that's why we are using this opportunity to listen to the people's affairs." Mina reassured.


"For now, we hope for the government to swiftly pass the budget for next year, Your Majesty. It will give the people its much needed relief." The governor firmly hoped.


Chaeyoung took notice of the governor's remarks as she then quickly scanned his office. She quickly distinguished the governor's picture with the Prime Minister.


"It seems that you and the Prime Minister are close." She observed.


The governor glimpsed at his picture and smiled.


"Yes, Ms. Son. We are party mates for almost a decade now. Alongside that photo, I hope to add Her Majesty's picture as soon as possible." The governor replied.


"This is also Prime Minister's home province, right?" She added.


The governor responded with a zealous nod; He may be not just some avid party mate, but a hardline supporter of Prime Minister Oda.
