Taking Advantage

After Zhou Jia coaxed Yangyang to sleep, he carried him to the small bed and covered him with the blanket. He sat by the bed and told Li Yu what he had seen at the magistrate's office today. "That Comrade Wu has been sizing me up behind my back. I guess he should have been in this position, but I beat him to it for some reason. I've already made up my mind. No matter which side he's on, I'll do my job well."

Li Yu thought for a moment. "I don't know much about officialdom either, but you were made an exception by His Majesty to be promoted to a magistrate. I think those people have long found out about it. They don't dare to play any tricks. At most, they will give you some trouble so that your official duties in the magistrate's office won't be so smooth. If you think being an official is cheerless, we can just resign and go back to being rich."
