"What? You want to find something to do?" Vice Minister Ding finally looked Zhao Yan in the eye, scanning him up and down as if weighing the probability that Zhao Yan had lost his mind. Who in their right mind would go looking for extra work?
"Replying to you, My Lord, I truly wish to participate in some of the work, which is why I have come to see you," Zhao Yan said. He disliked the way Vice Minister Ding was staring at him; it felt vaguely insulting.
"You’ve only just arrived a few days ago. There’s no rush for these matters. I don't have anything on my hands right now that requires your attention. When there is, I will naturally call for you." Vice Minister Ding wanted to keep Zhao Yan in a state of aimless confusion. If Zhao Yan had no tasks, he could have no political achievements, and thus, he would never be able to challenge his position as Vice Minister.
