Dan Youguo frowned, his voice deep and solemn, "To be an official is to serve the people, taking the people as the foundation, not seeking personal gain or fa. If that ans, your, husband, indeed, feels this way..."
He wanted to lead the reason for Di Mingzhe’s resignation to Di Xiaxia.
In fact, it was originally because of Di Xiaxia, but how could Di Mingzhe admit that?
"No," Di Mingzhe countered Dan Youguo’s words, "Your Excellency the President, you worry too much. My wife is very supportive of my serving the people. However, I am feeling sowhat unwell, and I think I may not be able to fulfill my duties."
"I see," Dan Youguo pondered for a mont and smiled, "then I won’t press you. However, this matter is of great importance, so I hope you will consider it carefully before making a decision. We are on the eve of a grand era of events; let’s discuss this matter later."
"Yes," Di Mingzhe nodded, saying no more.
He knew arguing with Dan Youguo here would be fruitless, and he also knew that Dan Youguo would probably not let him off easily.
However, he had already begun making his arrangents, so he would just wait and see.
If Dan Youguo dropped the matter and decided to cultivate soone new, then he had no desire to get entangled in these issues.
If Dan Youguo couldn’t swallow his pride and insisted on troubling him, Di Mingzhe would not be afraid; this was sothing he had anticipated.
At that mont, Dan Youguo smoothly changed the subject, and Di Mingzhe did not persist.
They continued to converse as amicably as before, and everything returned to calm, as though the matter had never been raised.
However, the thoughts of those high-level officials standing there were constantly churning.
Clearly, the President and the Vice President had clashed!
The reason was simple, likely due to the marriage.
Privately, everyone had begun preparing their own positions.
Logically, they should align with Dan Youguo’s strategy, given that he is currently the President.
However, his term would be up in less than a year, and more importantly, he was of advanced age.
A President may only serve up to three terms, each term lasting three years; three terms totaling nine years. He had already served three terms and was advanced in years, naturally leaving no reason for him to remain in the presidential seat.
Therefore, the next President would definitely be soone else.
Di Mingzhe had always been very low-profile; it seed as though the role of Vice President was just a job to him.
He quietly did what he was responsible for, never demanding exposure, nor any other special treatnt.
His Vice Presidential Residence was also built at his own expense; the state rely provided so staff, guards, and professional facilities, like a small hospital.
In other words, Di Mingzhe was not short of money, so his service as President would truly be for the people and the country.
So should they let go of Di Mingzhe and allow him to resign, waiting for Dan Youguo to promote a new Vice President?
If it ca to promotion, Dan Youguo would surely choose soone young, since his ultimate goal was an alliance through marriage.
But it isn’t easy to find young talent; not just anyone can beco Vice President, and there isn’t enough ti to cultivate them.
While the senior officials outwardly appeared to be engaging with Dan Youguo and Di Mingzhe, discussing the sports event with laughter, their thoughts were preoccupied with this matter.
Dan Youguo was an extrely shrewd old fox as well, revealing nothing on the surface and maintaining his friendly deanor.
After much deliberation, the senior officials thought it over but ultimately were unable to reach a conclusion.
