Su Yan was unaware of the many events that had transpired in the outside world. Upon returning to Yunjing, he went to see the President.
They discussed recent affairs and Su Yan attended numerous meetings. Throughout this period, Nie Jinhong remained by his side, serving as his deputy. Once these miscellaneous matters were settled, the time came to distribute rewards. Su Yan’s status had already reached its peak, and there was nothing left to confer upon him. Consequently, Su Yan passed this benefit on to Nie Jinhong, allowing him to receive the reward in his stead. Under these circumstances, Nie Jinhong was promoted to major general, attaining a position of great prestige. With this political power, he was now on the same level as Zhao Yongan of Yunhai.
After going to the North, he would no longer need to look to others for approval; instead, it would be others who had to gauge his mood.
