Li Guanyi said, "He's a fool."
"Having come this far, still wanting to maintain a high and mighty balance? I think these Elders deserve a lesson,"
Ji Zichang somewhat agreed with this statement, yet reflected deeply and sighed.
Even if Li Guanyi hadn't guessed who the so-called aristocratic family and shopkeeper represented, he could relate due to his own similar situation and empathized with that young shopkeeper.
So, would he think the Elder's choices were detrimental and say these words?
If one could speak like this, it was truly the mark of a natural politician and powerful minister.
Ji Zichang spoke in a gentle voice, "Let's just consider them shortsighted then,"
Choosing a somewhat less harsh term, he then said, "Therefore, I have thought of another choice, which is to completely relinquish power."
Ji Zichang took a deep breath, looking at Li Guanyi:
"Go hand over the title of Store Manager to that young shopkeeper."
