The Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren stepped off the carriage. Fortunately, his stay within the palace hadn't been long. After tidying his official robes, he entered the Ministry of Revenue and first went to greet Grand Master Xiao. Grand Master Xiao neither said much nor asked any questions; he simply stated, "The Emperor values you, so you must be more thoughtful and cautious."
Zhou Shuren bowed and replied, "This official will bear it in mind."
Xiao Qing was growing increasingly fond of Zhou Shuren. The favor revealed by the Emperor, coupled with some hints, made it clear that he genuinely intended to cultivate Zhou Shuren as a successor. Of course, the most crucial factor was Zhou Shuren's ability to manage the silver for the Ministry of Revenue.
When Zhou Shuren returned to his office, he saw Qiu Yan lift his head and greeted him, "Mr. Qiu."
