Indeed, as soon as Liu Zhizhong reported to the Provincial Party School, he sensed an unusual atmosphere.
Fuck, this session's Youth Class was divided into a middle-aged class and a youth class. The former consisted of cadres aged 38 and over who were to be promoted and nurtured, all of Standard Level or above, totaling 46 people. Moreover, they were not full-time students and did not need to reside at the school permanently. They just came to register, attend the opening ceremony, listen to important lectures, partake in the final evaluations, and their graduation ceremony—all just to bolster their qualifications.
The youth class wasn't large, consisting only of 28 people.
Among these 28, the oldest was shockingly Zhang Hongyang, at 32 years old.
The youngest was Liu Zhizhong, aged 28.
The others were all around 30 years old, appearing to be very young, Standard Level cadres or deputy-level cadres.
