In fact, as everyone was discussing, they didn't know that Zhan Yongtao's promotion had already been arranged by Ji Yang.
The reason why the news hadn't spread was that, currently, none of their minds were on the hometown affairs; the well-born young men from outside were all caught up in their parents' troubles. They knew that with their parents' downfall, they couldn't carry on in the hometown anymore, so they were no longer dealing with the affairs of the town.
Xun Liqiang was the same; harboring intentions of making a good impression on Ji Yang, he hadn't divulged the matter.
By the time Ji Yang spoke on the phone with Xun Liqiang, Xun Liqiang had made it clear that he wouldn't interfere with local matters anymore and that he would agree with whatever Mr. Ji Yang approved.
When it came to Le Jianjun and Guo Huaijie, Ji Yang also communicated with them, and both expressed no interest in involving themselves any further.
