Li Guangqiang's eyebrows raised slightly, but with a sly interest, Nie Zhenbang seemed to want him to back him up. Li Guangqiang was also very clear about Nie Zhenbang's mindset. Given Li Guangqiang's status in the provincial government, he knew that he couldn't oppose Nie Zhenbang.
In fact, Li Guangqiang had no intention of opposing. Considering it from several aspects, for one, he was a non-partisan official. Although he had attained a sub-ministerial level, the chances for further advancement were not that great. Non-partisans certainly have some advantages, but they also have many disadvantages. The first and foremost is not to even think about being the head of the party and government. One can only hold deputy positions. Even if it's a top job, it's basically within departments such as ministries. Don't even consider the party and government system. This factor alone was enough to diminish Li Guangqiang's competitive spirit.
