However, following this incident, Deputy Prefect Guan found himself even more diminished in the eyes of his peers.
His abandonment of those who stood by him during adversity only served to highlight his lack of gratitude after reaping benefits. His sarcasm and dissatisfaction painted him as selfish and utterly devoid of empathy. Who would willingly associate with such a cold-blooded individual if not for ulterior motives?
Deputy Prefect Guan seethed with rage.
As a Deputy Prefect, he had lost all semblance of prestige and dignity within the government office. Since the incident with the account book, contempt from Jia Heming and his cohorts had intensified.
Meanwhile, Lord Shao effortlessly endeared himself to others.
A few meager fruits were all it took to elicit gratitude from everyone. Truly remarkable!
Although the spectacle concluded swiftly, Shao Yunduan was aware of the incident.
