"Aren't the two of you also likely to be nominated? Maybe you guys will have a chance to rise to the top?"
For a moment, the air was filled with joy.
Everyone knew that Zhao Chen was on Gu Jiumu's side. With his strength and experience, coupled with Gu Jiumu's support, he might actually have a chance to rise to the top.

Now that he had met Hechi, who was supported by the strongest faction, he could only blame himself for being unlucky.
Although everyone was secretly jealous of Hechi's position, when they saw Zhao Chen who was even more unlucky, they immediately felt at ease.
" Thank you, Brother Zhao." Hechi stood up, pretending to be reserved. He raised his cup to Zhao Chen and said," I have to thank Brother Zhao for accompanying us."
Zhao Chen's face darkened.
