"My Lord, I didn't expect such a slippery person to arrive," Liu Xuan's clerk said with a frown after Cen Gaosong left.
Liu Xuan's face turned cold. "Hmph, he must have been guided by someone. If this person were truly smart, he would be promoted right now instead of being transferred laterally to our place."
"Then are we really going to wait here for that Gu Wenheng?"
"It's not yet the date for him to take over," Liu Xuan said. "However, the road here is not easy to travel. A delay is quite normal, but I won't have that much time to wait for him when the time comes."
"But what if..."
"There are no 'what ifs'. The road is so difficult to traverse, and with delays happening every now and then, it will add up and make him late," Liu Xuan said coldly.
The clerk quickly agreed, "When you came to take over back then, My Lord, you were also delayed on the road. I really hope Mr. Gu doesn't run into those highwaymen and local thugs, thus delaying his time to take office."
