Chen Nan said with a smile, "You let Director Zhao arrest someone at the Party School meeting today without asking for permission, a move that must have angered many big shots."
"But, you also just acted outside the rules."
"Setting aside the rule-breaking, what you did today indeed felt immensely satisfying to people."
"Because that's the only way people like Dai Shouyi could be brought down."
"It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that your merits and demerits cancel each other out."
Lu Yuanyang nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Chen Nan said made a lot of sense.
Chen Nan continued, "The big shot behind Dai Shouyi will definitely harbor resentment towards you and may even want to cause you trouble. But how could he bring you down?"
"By giving you a covert demotion, transferring you to some remote area to oversee work?"
Lu Yuanyang shook his head with a smile, "No, even if he wants to bring me down, he wouldn't do it so obviously."
