It was all just an act, a show of neither opposition nor cooperation.
But now that Lai Shun and Yan Chen had an incident, the two immediately changed their stance, actively approaching Qiu Tu to ingratiate themselves.
Qiu Tu, however, didn't turn them away.
After all... he had no personal vendetta against them, and they were both quite capable. With them around, the Political Department could operate more smoothly.
The great man had said it well, "Have more friends, fewer enemies."
Subordinates like these, who only differed in faction but had no personal conflict and were capable, were the kind Qiu Tu was willing to foster.
So, he also took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for both of them, as a gesture of "cooperation."
And when he sent the two of them off, Qiu Tu also checked their loyalty.
Zhang Jian: 31, Cai Peiyuan: 34.
Both within the normal range for subordinates. As long as Qiu Tu's orders were reasonable and lawful, they would carry them out conscientiously.
