On the car ride back to the City Committee, Zhou Zheng's emotions slowly calmed down.
Having been within the system for almost thirty years, climbing to his current position, he had forgotten the most crucial aspect of the bureaucracy.
That is, understanding the leadership.
If the leader likes grand gestures, then, as a subordinate, one must cater to that.
If the leader is pragmatic, he mustn't be ostentatious.
Only by discerning the leader's thoughts and governance philosophy can one navigate smoothly.
Yet he had overlooked this point.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
After a discussion with Secretary Gao, he suddenly realized.
Secretary Gao is evidently pragmatic, whereas he is somewhat eager for quick success and centralized power.
With such a character, Secretary Gao surely has opinions.
But since he isn't one of Secretary Gao's people, even if Gao has opinions, he wouldn't express them directly.
This time, it was a fortunate mishap, Zhou Zheng thought with relief.
