When it was time to clock out, Liu Zhizhong still had his secretary stay a bit longer for overtime because there was a lot of material to be compiled and summarized.
There sure has been a lot of thematic ideological study materials demanded from above these days!
Although everyone knows studying this stuff is pretty much useless, this type of formalism is very necessary.
In the Party and government system, every department and group needs to compile everything, like study photos, summaries, notes, etc., all gathered together, ready for inspections at any time.
For the City Committee, with its many internal organizations, there's just too much to summarize.
A first Secretary like Zhang Yuxing, who doesn't manage things, has nothing to fear from the Zhang Family Members.
Even if Ma Xudong gets in trouble, it certainly won't affect Zhang Yuxing.
As for Lu Yuqing, the executive deputy secretary, she really is in charge of things and has been focusing on just that lately.
