Li Guohua's calculations were abuzz as the new acting mayor proposed reassigning the duties within the city government—a move which didn't just touch on Li Guohua's own interests. Undoubtedly, the other deputy mayors would all feel a sense of self-threat. Li Guohua rashly interrupted Nie Zhenbang's words, an obvious tactic to garner support from those unfamiliar with the actual situation, banking on their opposition. As long as the other deputy mayors all objected, even if Nie Zhenbang was acting mayor, it wouldn't be easy for him to enforce his plan. If he did force it, it would leave people with the impression of him being autocratic and undemocratic. Strength may be key in official circles, but one must not lose their reputation.
From the side, Zhao Xintian slowly said, "Mayor Li, I think we should let Mayor Nie finish his statement before drawing any conclusions."
