The grand auditorium of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Government was packed to capacity, holding over a thousand people. Leaders with the requisite status from various cities and counties in the province, from provincial government agencies, and the capital's various districts were all seated inside. Today was the day the new Secretary took office.
The appointment of the head of the Party Committee is different from that of the head of the government. The latter requires a process through the People's Congress, whereas the appointment of the Party Committee is announced directly. There is no possibility of being voted out in this scenario.
Under these circumstances, officials across the province naturally wanted to foster good relations with the new Secretary. Regardless, it was necessary to make a lasting impression.
