"Of course, if you wish to be a Head of a Thousand Households like Shen, who awaits real achievements, that is another matter altogether!"

Yang Ge, as if chewing over his words, asked, "How so?"
After a long moment of contemplation, Fang Ke answered, "I can't say for sure, Shen... his heart harbors mountains and rivers, he never needs orders from superiors on what to do and what needs to be done; he has it all accounted for in his mind!"
"To say something that might make you laugh, I have followed Shen here and there for more than two years, yet it seems I have never fully understood how Shen acts."
"The cases that his lordship has handled, in my eyes, are mostly thankless, dirty, and exhausting tasks."
"If done well, no one displays his merits; if botched, plenty are there to kick him when he's down."
