Hu Chengguo looked at Ji Yang and said, "The officialdom is a battleground, where progress can only be made through relentless struggle. Yang, I feel that your mentality hasn't truly become that of an official."
Ji Yang smiled and replied, "I'm just a rural officer. If I hadn't been promoted by someone, I'd still be a rural officer. My advancement has been quite fast, and to be honest, according to the standard procedures for promotion, mine was a bit inappropriate. So, I'm actually quite content now."
Zhou Chengqian laughed, glanced at the others, then looked back at Ji Yang and said, "Actually, many rules are made for the average person. As long as you have powerful support, many procedures can be bypassed."
Ji Yang suddenly took it seriously; after all, he had entered the realm of politics and cared deeply about these matters.
Sun Xiaoxiao said, "It's just a matter of seniority."
