The news of Su Bin's appointment as the deputy minister of the Court of Judicial Review quickly disseminated throughout the capital.
At Su Bin's residence, well-wishers came to offer their congratulations and establish connections. The continuous influx of guests resulted in a substantial pile of gifts.
Declining gifts entirely was not an option.
Being an official in the capital, it was imperative for Su Bin to grasp the customs and etiquette of the officialdom, ensuring a swift integration into this world.
However, Su Bin had instituted a personal guideline: he would not accept gifts of substantial value. Even if he did accept such a gift, he would promptly reciprocate with a gift of similar worth. This practice was known as reciprocation.
