A Contest Across Empty Space, Discussion of Promotion

"Sir, you have a letter."

The moment Chen Ping'an emerged from seclusion, he heard from Yuan Zutong that a letter had arrived.

Zhong Shanliang's injuries were quite severe. These past days, Yuan Zutong had been handling the affairs of the Town Pacification Office from top to bottom.

"Oh?" Chen Ping'an was slightly surprised. "Where was it sent from?"

"Reporting to you, sir, it should have come from North Azure Stronghold!" Yuan Zutong replied respectfully.

Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered. He had roughly guessed who had sent the letter.

Inside his private office, Chen Ping'an saw the letter. It bore Confidential Sealing Wax and an official seal, its specifications and grade exceptionally high.

He opened the envelope and unfolded the letter. When he saw the signature, it was indeed just as Chen Ping'an had expected.

The letter had been sent by Gu Qingchan!

Come to think of it, he and Gu Qingchan had met only recently at North Azure Stronghold. What was she writing to him for now?

With a trace of doubt in his heart, Chen Ping'an began reading Gu Qingchan's letter.

There were not many pleasantries. Gu Qingchan's opening was concise and clear, getting straight to the point.

Gu Qingchan stated bluntly that she had also heard of the dispute between Chen Ping'an and the Universe Control Division over the credit for his achievements. After roughly learning the circumstances, she had casually added fuel to the flames.

It was not a major matter, and she had thought that with her stepping forward, the Universe Control Division would at least give her some face. Yet unexpectedly, although communication between the two sides had initially gone relatively smoothly, a problem had arisen during implementation. After making inquiries, it seemed someone on the Universe Control Division's side had also spoken up.
