Chapter 379: Driven by Interests

At lunchtime, Zhao Yu began complaining bitterly to Bai Zhizhan, but it seemed more like he was venting to someone.

Perhaps he couldn't find anyone to confide in usually.

"I could call the Grand Secretary if you need," Bai Zhizhan tentatively suggested.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he knew that even if he did call Xue Yuanzheng, it might not solve the problems, as Xue Yuanzheng couldn't handle everything.

After all, Xue Yuanzheng expected his subordinates to solve problems for him, not create them.

Bai Zhizhan had some influence, but not enough to make the Grand Secretary serve him.

Besides, Xue Yuanzheng didn't understand the Navy.

If he were to get involved, he would have just asked Liu Changxun to step in, and Liu Changxun being a competitor of He Yongxing, could further complicate the situation.

Moreover, if approaching Xue Yuanzheng were effective, Zhao Yu would have sought him out already.
