Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenpeng simply laughed and shook his head, saying, "Neither."
"Seniority, age? Those are lines set for ordinary people."
"But now in this chaotic era, with your profound background and strong capabilities, what can seniority and age do to hinder you?"
"The Sanctuary was established just a few years ago, to be honest, everyone's experience here is actually quite shallow."
The secretary asked, "Then...what is it?"
Jiang Zhenpeng earnestly replied, "It's 'appointment from another place'. Or you could say 'checks and balances'."
Jiang Zhenpeng said, "Although I don't know exactly what Qiu Tu did or what he relied on to win the favor of leaders like Old Rao and Elder Tang."
"But...obviously, several leaders think it's better for him to be the Chairman of the Dongye State Council than of the New State State Council."
"And this brings up a problem. Qiu Tu is a native official of Dongye State."
