Cheng Xinhua's comment caused a twitch in Zhao Weihong's face. Despite both being deputy secretaries, at this moment, being evaluated in such a manner by Cheng Xinhua seemed to make her feel as if she was a notch lower than him.
From the side, Deputy Mayor Ali spoke up: "Comrade Chen Le, aren't you slightly too young? Political and legal affairs are crucial departments holding significant powers. I suggest that the Municipal Party Committee considers this thoughtfully. Personally, I recommend Comrade Peng Jianhui. His achievements in political work are evident. Compared to Chen Le, Comrade Peng Jianhui has the advantage of age."
In the officialdom, age does matter. At times, being older can hinder promotion. But sometimes, being too young can also be an obstacle to promotion. It is a double-edged sword. It all comes down to how one uses it.
