If the selected candidate has strong backing, employing them requires considering those behind them. Is this inviting an ancestor?
The two men pointed out earlier remained silent, showing no hint of embarrassment. Gu Chengyu felt these two were relatively steady and likely had no strong backing.
They were of similar age, around forty, and Gu Chengyu had reasons for choosing them.
Since these two were about the same age, they would likely keep each other in check and work more diligently.
This age was just right; too young and they might be restless; too old and they might be complacent and lazy.
Li Zhongxin was somewhat surprised to see Gu Chengyu pick these two.
He thought about it and felt he should remind him to avoid future blame.
So, he softly said, "Mr. Gu, Yun Zemin is just a scholar by background."
Gu Chengyu had noticed this when introduced, finding it odd. Did this person have a strong backer? Otherwise, they wouldn't likely fit in among scholars as just a scholar.
