Chapter 581 - 579: The Key Reason for Dismissal
According to the news, Wang Yongan was assigned to Qi City, which is two hundred miles away, under the tutelage of Prefect Gao.
At first, Prefect Gao treated him as an ordinary adviser. However, he gradually took a liking to him.
After all, Wang Yongan had an impressive appearance and a very pleasant way of speaking; his social conduct and manners were truly remarkable.
Gradually, Prefect Gao entrusted Wang Yongan with many responsibilities, signaling his intent to groom him.
This angered someone, namely the First Master, who served under Prefect Gao. Initially, it was he who introduced Wang Yongan to Prefect Gao, but later he found that Prefect Gao was becoming increasingly appreciative of Wang Yongan.
How could this be acceptable? Everyone depended on Prefect Gao for their livelihood; favoring you would surely mean neglecting me.
The First Master was also a capable man. He kept a calm face and still referred to Wang Yongan as a brother, but behind his back, he was always looking for something to use against Wang Yongan.
Just then, the words that Wang Yongzhu had spread through the Escort Agency finally reached Qi City.
The First Master immediately recognized this opportunity and, furthermore, Wang Yongan was about to meddle in a very urgent matter—a task that could only be entrusted to a confidant. If Wang Yongan managed to take this task, the First Master himself might have to step down.
Therefore, seizing on a slip-up by Wang Yongan and combining it with the words spread by Wang Yongzhu, the First Master conveyed the matter to Prefect Gao’s ears.
The First Master had a niece who was married as a concubine to Prefect Gao and was greatly favored by him. With a little pillow talk, Wang Yongan was dismissed by Prefect Gao.
