After entering Feng Jing’s office, she looked at Ji Yang and asked, "Do you know Sun Xiaoxiao?"
Ji Yang was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to ask such a question.
As Ji Yang hesitated, Feng Jing said, "I went to school with her; her family is from Capital City. When she was young, she lived at her grandmother’s house which is in our province."
Only then did Ji Yang understand, and he asked, "Since you know her, why didn’t you say hello?"
"That was several years ago. Her family is no ordinary family; all I know is that they are powerful, and we actually didn’t interact much."
Ji Yang just slightly nodded his head.
Feng Jing continued, "I accidentally saw you with her yesterday. I didn’t expect you to have such a connection. With that kind of relationship, you’re set for life!"
Feng Jing’s eyes gleamed, seemingly reassessing Ji Yang.
Feng Jing had always behaved closely with him, and Ji Yang knew it was mostly because he was handsome. This wasn’t self-flattery by Ji Yang; he had long realized that women liked being around him.
Feng Jing then poured a cup of tea for Ji Yang and sat down across from him, saying, "The top official in the province has been transferred. Actually, everyone knows there was something off with him. Usually, they move someone first and then investigate."
Ji Yang knew he wasn’t very familiar with the workings of the bureaucracy and just listened.
Feng Jing added, "So, with his downfall, there will be significant changes throughout the province. Some people with connections are trying to move away as much as possible, and others are trying to erase some traces. But even so, some people will definitely get into trouble. The Chu Family was quite close with the top official, so they’ll be affected too. However, the Chu Family still holds significant influence in Capital City. The impact will be there, but not too severe; moreover, the family they married into will also provide some help."
Hearing this, Ji Yang realized that this woman had fully grasped his situation.
"Now, will the people in our village be affected?" Since she seemed willing to share, Ji Yang asked directly.
"Hehe," Feng Jing laughed, "Chief Ji, that’s not a question an official typically asks. You’re too direct."
And truth be told, there was a charming allure to her. Her laugh stirred something in Ji Yang’s heart.
He hadn’t paid much attention to her before, but now, sitting across from her, Ji Yang had to admit she was genuinely attractive.
After laughing for a bit, Feng Jing looked at Ji Yang and said, "Since you asked like that, I’ll share some of what I know."
It seemed that knowing about his relationship with Sun Xiaoxiao, Feng Jing intended to strengthen her ties with him.
Ji Yang was not foolish and quickly understood her intentions.
As for this, Ji Yang didn’t mind. The official scene was all about forming alliances, and having such an alliance was indeed beneficial.
Feng Jing sipped her tea and then said, "Xun Liqiang is probably done for."
Ji Yang was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean he’s done for?"
"His wife is the daughter of a deputy minister in the Provincial Propaganda Department. You might not be aware, but that woman is actually on her third marriage. Xun Liqiang doesn’t wield much power at home, and his wife is quite the player."
At this point, Feng Jing meaningfully looked at Ji Yang. Ji Yang understood; that woman was notorious.
Thinking about the kind of life Xun Liqiang led, Ji Yang could only offer his silent condolences. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novèlfire.net
"That’s just their family affair," Ji Yang was puzzled. "How can you say he’s done for?"
