Everyone here has been immersed in the bureaucracy for many years, like old foxes, and they all know the most important rule of officialdom: Better to have the lower ranks grumble than to leave a bad impression on your superiors.
Especially those superiors... who can decide your fate.
In the past, the appointments of deputy directors and commissioners of various cities in the planning areas were decided by the Sanctuary's General Investigation Bureau and the Administrative Commissioners' General Conference.
Therefore, deputy directors and commissioners used to seek favor with those bigwigs from the Sanctuary who could decide their fate.
Now, with the establishment of Dongye State, the positions of deputy directors and commissioners of various cities will be decided and adjusted by the Dongye State Council.
