Wang Ye was well-liked when he was just a regular congressman and even when he became a member of the Economic Committee. No matter which faction they belonged to, most had a favourable impression of him.
After all, he was the youngest member of the Duma, with other members often being at least a full generation older or more.
Thus, very few viewed Wang Ye with hostility.
However, ever since he became the director of the Economic Committee, the number of people unsettled by him increased.
A man much younger than themselves, suddenly climbing 'above their heads', would likely irritate most people.
This was particularly true for some within the Economic Committee who were even more discontented.
It was understandable, as Wang Ye had "stolen" their opportunities for promotion.
Yet, no matter how uncomfortable they felt, few showed it openly. Those who managed to reach these positions had at least some degree of discretion.
