Chen Ping'an recalled his conversation with Liu Yuanhua. Faced with Liu Yuanhua's attempt to recruit him, he had tactfully expressed that he was still young and had no intention of joining any faction for the time being. He only wished to develop his career within the Garrison system and serve the Dynasty!
It was all politically correct nonsense, but it had also served to convey his polite refusal.
However, it was as if Liu Yuanhua hadn't understood the underlying meaning of his words. He told Chen Ping'an that if he were to join the Liu Family, they would fully support his career in the Garrison Commandant's Office.
Faced with Liu Yuanhua's renewed attempt to recruit him, Chen Ping'an ultimately refused once more.
"Thank you for your favor, Lord Liu, but I am young and my abilities are meager. I'm afraid I will only disappoint you!"
Liu Yuanhua didn't show much of a reaction to Chen Ping'an's rejection, but Chen Ping'an could still faintly sense his displeasure.
