Upon hearing that Jiang Haiqiu secretly aligned with Deputy Director Cao, Ji Yang couldn't help but view her in a new light. After all, he himself hadn't even considered aligning with Deputy Director Cao.
As if understanding Ji Yang's thoughts, Jiang Haiqiu said, "It's not that I didn't tell you about aligning with Deputy Director Cao. Actually, I'm not sure if he will help me under such circumstances. He hasn't explicitly stated any intent to support my allegiance. But as my situation has recently become clearer, only then did he reach out to speak with me, which happened just yesterday. He must have realized I'm in the clear and needs someone in the department to collaborate on some tasks."
