Kindness the Only Weakness

Jerking her head up, Yun Xi faced Mu Feichi with an expression of disbelief. "How did my dad have access to these top-secret files?"

"As I said before, don't underestimate your dad. It takes a trick or five to climb from the bottom to the vice president of the Urban Construction Bureau."

Yun Xi smiled. "I knew he had schemes, but it's a shame how short-sighted he is. He has been stuck in terms of promotion for years, but if he had this around he could have climbed more. Yet, he chose to give it up now, at what cost? What did you have to do to convince him? He's a man who only goes after profits."

"I only used my authority as the Young Commander as a carrot for him and nothing else. Do I look like someone he could bargain with?"

"My dad was willing to let himself be used like this? Doesn't make sense though. He could have been living at the height of luxury with this. Why didn't he do anything with it?"
