Qin Mu's expression hardened, and the words he intended to reprimand with were stuck in his throat.

Xia Chen pulled Qin Mu aside and whispered, "Sir, I know the procedure seems a bit off, but rest assured, once the Zhonglang General learns about this, he will be overjoyed. Not only will he not blame you, but you might even get a promotion because of this achievement!"

A smile hung on Xia Chen's face, completely different from the cold, stern look he had while working earlier. Although Qin Mu was just a Commandant, he was still Xia Chen's superior. Xia Chen had studied the wisdom of the elders, and it was etched in his heart.

In politics, one must always make more friends and fewer enemies, uniting everyone possible. At the crucial moment, someone will naturally push you to the highest position.
