The days passed, one by one.
Chen Yuan spent the entire day in Linzhou, working from morning till night with almost no rest. He even had his lunch in the office. Pei had brought him a meal from the cafeteria after seeing he was too busy to go down himself.
Too many things had piled up. He had his work, but he also had a personal life, and when weighing the two, his approaching engagement was obviously more important.
In truth, he felt an immense sense of guilt for every day he took off. His own father had entrusted him with such an important position; he felt he shouldn't be so hands-off.
Even though the experienced seniors and juniors in the northern region kept everything running in perfect order, he still had to hold down the fort in the office often to cast his deciding vote on major resolutions.
Reform was imminent.
