In this world, most people's ambitions focused on the pursuit of power, which also meant they had to take on corresponding duties.
Gu Shanhai, however, was different. He transformed these duties into research achievements, so he was indeed working, but the work he did was just the leftover part when he became stronger. That's why he never felt like he was actually working.
So, asking him to supervise and manage again felt more like overtime to him.
Of course, there was overtime pay.
It was like having him manage maritime affairs; Gu Shanhai would turn a blind eye to some of Jiang Lu's minor offenses, perhaps even secretly offering Gu Shanhai some extra benefits.
But Gu Shanhai didn't want to do that. If he could take rightfully and nobody could fault him, why should he sneak around? Such actions could become unnecessary trouble.
