The rumors circulating suggest that the higher-ups value Hongyang more than Liu Zhizhong, what's going on?
Of course, not many people know that Hongyang is the actual son of Minister Luo Tianlin!
Could Luo Tianlin not stand up for his own son?
Hongyang is quite pleased with this, feeling that the old connections of the Zhang Family in the Provincial City are still present. His grandfather's efforts in nurturing Luo Tianlin back then weren't in vain!
With Uncle Luo standing up for him, Hongyang's confidence is bolstered.
As for Vice Minister Lu Xiping, he's actually been feeling a bit frustrated lately.
He has been in charge of the organizational cadre assessment and appointment on the Minority Autonomous State side, but the situation in Shanan has almost entirely gone wrong, leaving him quite troubled and hardly appearing.
