奧魯赤參政湖廣，辟為蒙古都萬戶府知事。 When Oljei took up office as Huguang regional councilor, he recruited Chahan as director of affairs in the Mongol Chief Ten-Thousand Households Office.

奧魯赤進平章，復辟為理問，政事悉委裁決，且令諸子受學焉。 After Oljei advanced to grand councillor, he again brought Chahan in as judicial intendant, leaving the full weight of administrative decisions to his judgment and setting his own sons to study under him.

未幾從奧魯赤移治江西。 Before long he accompanied Oljei when his administration was transferred to Jiangxi.

前後從奧魯赤出入湖廣、江西兩省，凡二十一年，多著勳績。 Over twenty-one years he followed Oljei between Huguang and Jiangxi, compiling a long record of distinguished service.
