Cheng Guangyao's mouth hung open as he watched the young man in a deep cyan uniform slowly descending from mid-air.

His heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Ever since Zhou Ping'an had risen to power in Dongjiang, Cheng had been keeping an eye on this "subordinate" from the minor city.

Public officials, strictly speaking, are expected to be much like military personnel.

Personal capabilities are secondary; what's crucial is the ability to follow orders and be sensible.

They might even suppress you crazily or find a way to dismiss you.
