"Director, I just wanted to stir up some trouble for Ma Hanshan. It’s only two silver dollars, either way. If we could actually find some dirt on Ma Hanshan, our Party Affairs Bureau would be able to get the upper hand over the Secrecy Bureau here in Beiping."
Ji Zijun shook his head. "Ma Hanshan won't have any issues. He has been with the Secrecy Bureau for a very long time. Even before the Military Statistics Bureau was officially established, he was already working under Dai Chunfeng. His seniority is quite deep."
