Huang Weiyi quickly agreed, promising he would follow the instructions, hold his ground, and wait for Chen Chuan's arrival.
After the call ended, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his brow. 'This job is no walk in the park,' he thought.
In fact, when he had mentioned his subordinate's abilities, he had been worried Chen Chuan would want to poach the man. But if he hadn't said anything, he would have had no way to prove the source of his intelligence.
Beyond not wanting to lose such a talented individual, there was another reason: the man had been wronged by the government in the past and deeply distrusted anyone in an official capacity. Huang Weiyi had promised to protect him. If Chen Chuan were to ask for him, he would have to politely refuse, which ran the risk of causing offense.
Thankfully, Chen Chuan never brought it up, allowing Huang Weiyi to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
