In the current court, I’m afraid there’s no one who understands education better than you,” Pei Yanci said. “How could this official not trust daren’s words?” Qi Xiang laughed heartily and patted his shoulder reassuringly. “First, focus on properly handling the establishment of the Education Bureau.
