Zheng Xiang nodded, "Yes. Before assuming my duties, I wanted to review the records to understand how they were managed previously, so I can lead effectively. Although I haven't officially started, I sought permission from His Majesty." He explained, concerned about any potential misunderstanding.

Zheng Liang shook his head and said, "You did the right thing. You earned this position on merit. What I want to say is," He paused, hesitant, "I recommended you for this position because I believe you're the best candidate to handle the financial records."
