"Alright."
The Grand Secretary seemed to have no reaction to Xie Quan's bold statement.
Xie Quan was not surprised by this at all and slowly stood up. This is how he was, straightforward and blunt. If he did not recommend Xu Qing to the Grand Secretary and spoke of Xu Qing's merits, it would not be in his style. Conversely, it might give the Grand Secretary a reason to question him about Xu Qing's affairs.
His approach would naturally make the Grand Secretary skim over the matter.
The people of the world, no matter how smart they are, will have traces of fixed patterns in what they do for a long time.
This is true for the Grand Secretary, and so is it for the Emperor.
Even Xu Qing's thoughts are quite predictable. He likes to focus on the core essence of the problem, selecting the aspects that are beneficial to himself, and also seem beneficial to others, like controlling water, adept at riding the momentum.
Or to say, people like Xu Qing are like water themselves.
