Ning Jie wasn't surprised in the least by what Monk said.
Setting aside the fact that Monk's life trajectory in this life matched his previous one, Monk's parents were high-ranking officials after all, so his vision was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people. In his previous life, Monk had participated in the old city redevelopment alongside Fu Jianye, and like Fu Jianye, the two of them had enjoyed a meteoric rise, eventually becoming major regional officials.
Monk had a strong rustic, outlaw streak in him. He hadn't gone as far up the ladder as Fu Jianye, but it was precisely this roguish charm that made Monk the kind of good official people always praised.
