What kind of news spreads the fastest and widest?
Of course, salacious news.
And whose salacious news spreads the fastest and widest?
Of course, that of influential figures...
As the Speaker of Dongye State, Qiu Tu practically lived under the spotlight every moment. His every word and action influenced all facets of Dongye State's affairs.
Take the simplest example. Ever since Xinjie City's Five Elders got close to Qiu Tu and sent Fang Tangtang to his room, they gained Qiu Tu's backing.
Not only did they gradually regain a certain degree of influence in Xinjie City, but they also expanded their business empire to several neighboring cities.
Although they did it cautiously, without blatantly using Qiu Tu's name to intimidate others, all the powerful figures in various cities knew they had some connection to Qiu Tu, so no one dared to make things difficult for them.
Sometimes, not facing obstacles is itself an advantage.
