Hong Anguo quietly told Yang Xiao that through special channels he learned that the General Bureau was very pleased that Sheng Yanlin, that old fox, had accepted all the treaty terms thanks to Yang Xiao's efforts, and that he had been listed as a key young cadre for the General Bureau's next training phase.
"Congratulations, Younger Brother Yang. Don't forget about your elder brother when you become successful in the future." Hong Anguo remained with his usual cheerful demeanor.
"Thanks to Brother Hong's guidance. I see that Brother Hong is also blessed with good fortune and will soon rise even higher." Yang Xiao reciprocated with polite words.
"Hahaha—" Hong Anguo laughed heartily: "I don't really care about promotions or such; like you, my younger brother, my heart is solely concerned with the country. Promotion and wealth are not our wishes; we only wish for peace and prosperity for the nation."
