Official Career Storm Chapter 715

Arriving at the hotel, they entered the suite where Zeng Li often stayed.

Zeng Li entered the room and began undressing, stripping down to her underwear in front of Song Guanchao, tiptoeing in place and twirling: "Do I look good?"

"You look good."

"Well, then later, you can take your ti to admire."

Zeng Li threw a teasing glance and went to take a shower.

After finishing her shower, she ca out wrapped in a towel and said, "You should take a shower too."

"I don’t think I need to..."

"Hmm, do you still want to listen or not?"

Song Guanchao had no choice but to take a shower as well.

Halfway through, Zeng Li suddenly dashed in, startling him. He covered his groin: "What are you doing?"

"Who knows how many won you’ve played with, yet you’re pretending to be innocent in front of ."

Zeng Li teased and grabbed his clothes before heading out.

Song Guanchao could only co out wrapped in a towel.

Zeng Li tossed so essential oil to him, turned into the room, letting the towel fall from her body, her flawless figure dazzling Song Guanchao.

Her fingers glided down from her chin, brushed over her perky chest, making her bosom shiver slightly.

Then, they moved down her abs, lingering briefly over her delicate beauty seam.

This seductive pose and movent left Song Guanchao visibly aroused, with the towel tented.

Wiggling her hips, Zeng Li cat-walked over, and Song Guanchao could even feel the heat radiating from her body.

She gently tugged at the towel on Song Guanchao’s waist, letting it fall to the ground.

She glanced down and chuckled, gripping it deftly before playfully spinning away like a butterfly and sprawling onto the bed.

"Hurry up and give a massage."

"Ahem."

As Song Guanchao cald down, he considered grabbing the towel but decided it was unnecessary.

He walked over, trying to maintain so distance as he massaged her.

While massaging, he asked, "Go on."

"So impatient."

With a tease, Zeng Li said, "I rember, didn’t Sister Weiwei take control of the Disciplinary Committee?"

"Not quite," Song Guanchao replied, "Secretary Wang is a fence-sitter, leaning on both sides. But Secretary Wang’s focus is indeed still on the Secretary’s side. The task force stationed at the City Committee is also composed of the Secretary’s people."

"Then let the Disciplinary Committee be stationed at the Developnt and Reform Commission to thoroughly investigate, checking all the directors."

"That’s too..."

"Too much?"

Zeng Li continued, "That’s why I say you are short-sighted."

"You worry that other departnts will think it’s making a mountain out of a molehill, and Sister Weiwei might have trouble executing her work in the future, but have you thought about, if you do nothing, people will just think you’re easy to bully."

"Besides, to Sister Weiwei, there are only two types of people: those who are her people, and those who are not."

"No matter how overboard you go, your own people will only think you did well. The tougher you are, the more secure they feel, thinking they’ve picked the right person to follow."

"As for everyone else, why care what they think?"

"Before doing anything, they weren’t Sister Weiwei’s people. Afterward, they still aren’t. So what’s there to worry about?"

"Moreover, if you act against the Developnt and Reform Commission, other departnts, unless they’re stupid, will have to weigh the consequences before pulling any tricks in the future."

"For a leader, soone has to play the bad cop, and soone else the good cop."

"You just be the bad cop; let Sister Weiwei be the good cop."

Song Guanchao said, "The Developnt and Reform Commission isn’t easy to handle."

Zeng Li’s tone was quirky: "Do you have so misunderstanding about the Developnt and Reform Commission?"

Song Guanchao countered, "Isn’t the Developnt and Reform Commission a small governnt?"

"..." Zeng Li was montarily speechless, then said, "I’ve suddenly realized, you seem to not understand the Developnt and Reform Commission at all."

Song Guanchao didn’t seem embarrassed this ti: "I’m rely a latecor; understanding average functional departnts is not bad."

Zeng Li said, "Let give you a little briefing then."

"Since you know it’s called a ’small governnt,’ you should know why it’s called a ’small governnt,’ right?"

"Not clear."

"It’s simple. Because the Developnt and Reform Commission covers a wide range of responsibilities and is involved in planning and policy decisions, which connects it with nurous governnt departnts, it impacts fewer departnts only than the governnt office."

"The Developnt and Reform Commission holds a crucial position within a city; it is the coordinating departnt for economic operations and leads the formulation and implentation of so significant strategic plans. For instance, the Five-Year Plan, have you heard of it? These are crafted by the National Developnt and Reform Commission."

"But here’s the thing."

Switching her tone, Zeng Li said, "The authority of the Developnt and Reform Commission is much bigger at the top, smaller at the bottom!"

"Moreover, the position is particularly special. If you have observed the resus of provincial ministerial-level leaders, you’d find that over half have served in the Developnt and Reform Commission."

"My dad once said that the Developnt and Reform Commission is a bridge departnt; you can enter the vice-provincial level even without serving as its director. But if you do beco the director and do not commit any major blunders, it’s almost certain to enter the vice-province."

Song Guanchao genuinely didn’t understand these intricacies.

But hearing her explain, he felt even more that he shouldn’t rashly ss with the Developnt and Reform Commission.

"Such an important departnt, are you sure you want to provoke it?"

"Dummy." Zeng Li said, "Didn’t I ntion before, the Developnt and Reform Commission is bigger at the top, smaller at the bottom."

"What I ntioned earlier is all about the Provincial Developnt and Reform Commission."

"To give you the simplest example, if Mayor Zheng or Secretary Lu were to be promoted, the next step would be for the province to place them in the province as Provincial Developnt and Reform Commission Director."

"As long as they obtain the director position in the Provincial Developnt and Reform Commission, there’s at least a ninety percent chance to enter the vice-provincial level."

"As for the Director of the Prefecture-level City Developnt and Reform Commission..."

Zeng Li suddenly chuckled and asked, "Do you wonder why Sister Weiwei dares to back you up and isn’t afraid of you causing issues at the Developnt and Reform Commission?"

"Because the city-level Developnt and Reform Commission is a watershed."

"County-level Developnt and Reform Commissions are not even as good as the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. The Prefecture-level City Developnt and Reform Commission, although ranked high within the governnt, lacks autonomy."

"Provincial departnts can directly decide on the next year’s fiscal allocation, while city bureaus only have advisory power. Whether it’s fiscal advice or investnt project planning, they only have the right to suggest, reports must be submitted to the Provincial Departnt for decisions."

As he listened to her detailed explanation, Song Guanchao was enlightened.

"So, the City Developnt and Reform Commission is just a paper tiger, looks strong but isn’t practical?"

"Not exactly," Zeng Li said, "The power is there; it’s just not as vast as you imagined. And the promotional path for the Developnt and Reform Commission directors ans they must heed the city governnt leader."

Song Guanchao asked, "What is the usual promotion path for Developnt and Reform Commission directors?"

Zeng Li said, "Mainly the City Governnt Office Secretary-General, Vice Mayor, Deputy Mayor or Mayor. So may enter the Provincial Developnt and Reform Commission as directors or so provincial departnts."

"None entering the City Committee?"

"There are, but very few, not representative."

Zeng Li concluded, "Overall, the City Developnt and Reform Commission is constrained in authority by upper managent while their personal promotion is controlled by local governnt."

"Sister Weiwei is bold with you because she understands this, knowing that the Developnt and Reform Commission can’t make much of a splash."

"And furthermore..."

"And furthermore what?"

"Kiss first, then I’ll tell you." Zeng Li pouted her hips: "Kiss here."
