Xue En is the white glove pushed by Lu Ping'an's faction, both a reform pioneer and a scapegoat.
There are only two possibilities for his dismissal: one, the entire project has exploded and there is no need for him to continue working, so he steps down as the scapegoat.
Or, he does too well, the reform succeeds, and he steps down as the scapegoat.
"....What scapegoat?"
"Social security instability, an increase in criminal cases due to layoffs, and some protestors holding signs."
Lu Ping'an was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Well done."
These reasons are not only typical of a trumped-up charge but also completely dismissible everyday troubles.
Taking this opportunity to step down, naturally, there is only one possibility.
"The framework of the reform is almost set up. If I don't let go now, it will only annoy people."
"A lot of people have come in from outside?"
"Plenty... your awakening is a good thing."
"I see."
