Whispers filled the room instantly.
Xu Qianli had quite the nerve; merely a Government Office Director with no backing since the old County Magistrate was gone, he audaciously sat in the chair reserved only for the County Magistrate.
How could he be so bold; had he gone mad?
Li Weiguo was the first to jump up and raise a question.
"Director Xu, do you realize you're sitting in the wrong seat?"
"That seat is for our number two man in Jiang City County, the backbone of Jiang City County Government, it's a seat only the County Magistrate can occupy."
"What right do you, a mere office director, have to sit in that seat?"
Ding Biao said, "Exactly, there's a place for every rank, Xu Qianli, what makes you think you can sit there?"
"What right?"
Xu Qianli responded forcefully.
"I am here on behalf of the old County Magistrate!"
