He Yusheng was well aware of the current situation in Hongjiang Province. As the Executive Deputy, He Yusheng had his own advantages. On the one hand, he was the second in command of the government, the Deputy Secretary of the Party Group within the government. It was only natural and the logical next step for him to succeed the leading position. Additionally, the support from Governor Liu Yong was another significant advantage.
However, He Yusheng also had several disadvantages. Compared with Wen Baogui, their official levels seemed to be the same, but there were subtle differences in the details. It was common for the provincial committee's full-time deputy secretary to take over as governor, and then for the executive deputy to be adjusted to full-time deputy secretary. Such a move often resulted in a win-win situation, pleasing everyone in the system and allowing most people to advance in their careers.
