Chapter 238
Zhang Meilin said, "What if Director Qin is willing to give up some benefits?"
Minister Zhou laughed and replied, "Director Qin might be willing, but what about He Kang?"
"His fate has long been out of his own hands. Whether he can land safely depends on whether He Kang is willing to protect him."
Zhang Meilin felt a chill in his heart.
Is this what political struggle is?
Thunder out of a clear sky!
One misstep and you’re doomed forever.
He looked at Minister Zhou and asked, "Is Minister Zhou choosing Secretary Wu?"
After asking, he realized his words seemed covetous and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, Minister, that was out of line."
Minister Zhou did not mind. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, almost sighing as he said, "It’s not about me choosing Secretary Wu, it’s about whether Secretary Wu is willing to accept me."
Zhang Meilin furrowed his brows in confusion, not understanding why Minister Zhou would say such a thing.
