Chapter 566 - 513: Being the Villain (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Lu Tongda sat in the dormitory living room, with one hand clutching his phone and the other on the door. His eyes weren’t on his phone, in the room only the subtle snores of Jiang Yuan could be heard, truly leaving him scratching his head in frustration.
Mu Zhiyang had been a bit anxious himself, but seeing Lu Tongda so worked up, he became less so. Instead, he advised, "Chief Yu also said, let’s wait until Captain Jiang wakes up. Waiting a few hours won’t matter, so you don’t need to keep watch like this."
"Leaders from the ministry might say it doesn’t matter, but in reality..." Lu Tongda used to be in the Iron Cavalry, working early mornings and late nights, and hadn’t really interacted with any leaders.
Mu Zhiyang said, "The one who said it doesn’t matter is Captain Yu, he wouldn’t say that without knowing better than us. Just do as he said, no need to worry unnecessarily."
Glancing at his watch, he added, "If we go over now, it’ll almost be time for dinner too. I think Chief Yu was reluctant to have Captain Jiang go and drink. If you go, it’s improper not to accompany them in drinking, might as well go later. Worst case, we work overtime."
Lu Tongda hesitated and said, "I feel it’s quite a rare opportunity, think about it, how often does the ministry come to our place? When I was in Changyang, I never heard about it, and it’s even less in Qinghe City, they might not come once in several years."
"The people of Qinghe commit fewer crimes against their own, so frequent visits from the ministry aren’t something good, are they?" Mu Zhiyang, now firmly rooted in Ningtai and, one could say, by Ningtai Jiangyuan’s side, no longer liked to hear critical voices.
Lu Tongda laughed helplessly: "What I mean is, if Captain Jiang wants to advance, isn’t this a good opportunity? If Captain Jiang gets a promotion, we will benefit too... right?"
Mu Zhiyang looked Lu Tongda up and down: "You’ve only been with Captain Jiang for a few days..."
"Progress isn’t made in just a day or two," said Lu Tongda.
