Tao Ze's expression froze on his face.
Indeed.
Being a principal officer at thirty was considered young and promising, but a deputy officer... wasn't that common either?
A formless anger arose in his heart. He had planned to flex about his job at the Public Security Bureau, but now he found himself caught in a dilemma.
He thought to himself, even if I say I'm a principal officer, Xu Wendong wouldn't know, right?
"I didn't expect Brother Xu to be so familiar with the workings of officialdom. You're right, being a principal officer at thirty is indeed promising. As for being a deputy officer... they're everywhere, and to put it bluntly, they're worth nothing." He wore a gentle smile as if he truly were a principal officer.
Xu Wendong chuckled and asked, "Which department of the Public Security Bureau does Mr. Tao work in? I happen to have a friend working there too. He might be able to lend you a hand if needed."
