After inquiring about the series of incidents in Jingping Town, Mr. Qi got up and left; his next destination was the City Center Official Residence where Qu Muzhi was stationed.
After seeing Mr. Qi off, Nalan Shuo returned to his office, his eyes laced with a complex mixture of regret and worry. "Little Yang, you're a smart person. Rebuilding the Luming Bureau is an opportunity for you. You should also understand why I asked you to come back and meet Special Commissioner Qi."
"You want to recommend me for the position of Director of Luming Bureau," Yang Xiao stated bluntly.
"You're currently Deputy Director. That position should be yours. If you don't take it, it will be handed over to Qu Muzhi. In any case, we must keep that position within the hands of our Rongcheng Patrol Division; we can't let an outsider take advantage of it," Nalan Shuo said, clearly on the same page as Huang Guozhao from the City Center Official Residence regarding this matter.
