Chapter 303: Business Trip
The reunion with the master began with a report.
Mun-sang stood before his master and reported on everything that had happened over the past six months, what he had done, and what he needed to do going forward. I waited awkwardly for the report to end.
“Well, well, Mun-sang probably did a fine job anyway. Just let it slide. If I hadn’t entrusted it to you, that’s one thing, but once I did, don’t you know I meant to trust you completely?”
“……”
Well, with a bit more grumbling, that is.
During the report, which lasted over half an hour, the master changed his expression several times.
He let out a low groan at the news that the city wall had collapsed, killing five and injuring over thirty.
Upon hearing that the delay in the government’s response was the cause, he frowned as if angry.
He scoffed at the suggestion that I had drafted the reform plan to address this very issue.
But when Mun Sang explained the details and outcomes of the reform plan, he looked utterly shocked and pointed his finger at me.
“Wait, are you giving credit to that guy?”
“No.”
Give credit where credit is due.
“How could that be? It was the current head who drafted the reform plan and persuaded the other heads. I merely chimed in from the sidelines.”
“……Surprising.”
The master nodded and looked at me.
“Well done.”
His gaze was intense, his voice short yet resonant.
Feeling acknowledged by my master, I felt a lump rise in my throat without realizing it.
