Chapter 54: The Official Path, The World
Inside the villa, Lin Fan was sitting on the sofa, staring at the television in front of him, but his gaze was blank.
"Still pondering over your shattered worldview?"
Chen Jiayi walked over with a cup of coffee and curled up in Lin Fan’s arms, smiling.
"Yes, I’m indeed having trouble accepting it."
Holding the delicate Chen Jiayi, Lin Fan sighed and said, "I knew the officialdom was dark and interpersonal relationships were complex, but after stepping in, I realized that what I knew before was just the tip of the iceberg. Thinking about these indulgences like a pond of wine and a forest of meat, it seems truly terrifying now."
"This is just the beginning. Have you thought about it? There are many details you didn’t notice, like your transfer order. If it was signed by Mayor Zhu, why did it still need to wait a few days?"
Chen Jiayi leaned on Lin Fan’s shoulder. The smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to have already seen through everything.
"Right, why?"
Lin Fan was stupefied for a moment; he indeed hadn’t thought about this question.
"Of course, it was to give you more chances to move around. You met everyone you should have met yesterday, so these next few days are to gather your own network, and each one of them is at the rank of vice director. Do you think anyone could just call them together for dinner, especially on short notice? Actually, it’s all for laying the groundwork. Each of them has their own connections, and you need to make the most of these days."
