Secretary Zhang had been with Li Zhiguo for many years, though he was Li Zhiguo's chief secretary, and therefore carried significant weight before other secretaries and officials.
However, Secretary Zhang knew that he was always just doing tasks for others; if he were released to be the chief or deputy head of a sub-bureau, it would be entirely different.
Secretary Zhang had long pondered this, especially given his current age, nearing forty, and he had yet to have an opportunity.
"Mayor Li, I want to stay by your side."
Secretary Zhang said.
Li Zhiguo smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, this is your chance; no need to beat around the bush with me."
Secretary Zhang became increasingly pleased. He knew that this time, what Li Zhiguo said might be true; when Li Zhiguo became the top official, the secretaries would surely be changed.
So, now was the time to seize this opportunity and do something significant; it wouldn't be a bad idea.
