"However, whether he can reach the pinnacle of the Forbidden City depends on far too many factors. After all, this whole thing is a series of strategic games, which is why I said it depends on whether the Lin family pulls its weight!" Ye Chen said.
"Are you implying that if he fails to become a son-in-law of the Lin family, the probability of him reaching the top will shrink infinitely?" Lin Zhaoyang said in a deep voice.
"No, no, no. Do you take me for such a superficial person, Elder? Even if he has no affinity with the Lin family—or if the Lin family has no intention of courting or supporting him—I believe the Fu family in Modu will recruit him. Besides, aside from the Lin and Fu families, there are still many influential clans in Sijiu City, aren't there? As long as one has sufficient capability, as long as one's ability breaks through a certain threshold, there is bound to be no shortage of resources and support! So, to sum it all up in one sentence, Jiang Donglin's potential is infinite—at least in my view, it is infinite. To put it without a single trace of exaggeration, among all the people in official circles I know, including those descendants backed by powerful clans in Sijiu City, not a single one has potential that can compare to Jiang Donglin!" As he spoke, Ye Chen's tone grew sonorous and ringing.
