Seeing Emperor Yanqing's solemn and earnest expression, Yan Qinglai slightly smiled, quite pleased.
If Emperor Yanqing can deduce that being dropped into Dalian is due to the Ling Family's influence in Liaoning, how could Yan Qinglai not figure that out?
In fact, it took Yan Qinglai a long time to decide on the location for Emperor Yanqing's new placement. He had been hesitant to make the choice until the incident in Hong Kong provided him with the perfect opportunity.
In Yan Qinglai's mind, there's no better place than Dalian for Emperor Yanqing to enhance his reputation.
According to Yan Qinglai's plan, Emperor Yanqing would only need one or two years in Dalian before being promoted to deputy provincial level, making it entirely possible for him to overcome the most challenging barrier of a bureaucrat's career path - to be promoted from being at deputy provincial level to provincial ministerial level - before turning forty.
