Shengrui finally nodded in sudden realization: "No wonder you, at such a young age, could take the position of Deputy County Magistrate. Your insight is much farther-reaching than mine; I truly thought

it then. The County Government is Zhao Chuanchun’s personal estate. I wouldn’t dare to just walk in there. You should stay out as well. It’s not difficult to make progress elsewhere. We could dispatch you to other units just like I did with my little aunt, who is now

Lin Fan’s phone rang—it was Zhao Qian Yue. However, he chose not to answer, instead turning to Liu and said, "Uncle,
