After a moment, Tian Xujian descended, his face grave and serene. At this point, Yi Chang went to the left side of the first official car, opened the rear door, and positioned one hand on the door frame. Normally, this would be a task for a secretary. However, Tian Xujian still hadn't chosen a secretary, so this became Yi Chang's responsibility.
After Tian Xujian boarded the car, Yi Chang was about to follow suit when he noticed that Tian Xujian sat in the seat behind the front passenger seat and didn't move from there. This irked Yi Chang.
This disrespect left no room for Yi Chang, who was not Tian Xujian's secretary. According to hierarchy, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee should either sit in his own official car or share the backseat with the leader. Currently, Tian Xujian had no secretary and so Yi Chang had to accompany him. However, Tian Xujian's gesture clearly indicated that Yi Chang should sit in the front. This seemed intentional.
