Zhou Qing shook his head and hurriedly followed with, "I don't have such big ambitions yet, and besides, I've only been promoted to deputy county mayor for less than a year. Being promoted to county mayor at this time wouldn't be in line with the rules either."
"But you've always been working on development in Anzhou County, and the county's economy has gradually improved. It's not impossible to make an exception for a promotion as long as the notice comes down from the province. Our city will definitely comply."
The implication was already very clear; they were preparing to have Standing Committee Vice Provincial Governor Liu Junliang step forward and speak out.
But Zhou Qing was no fool. It was true that Liu Junliang had the ability to do so, but once he did, Zhou would be beholden to others in the future.
Even worse, Zhou could end up with a handle in Song Yong's hands.
A standing committee vice provincial governor couldn't afford to be led by the nose.
