Wu Qiangwei believed that Song Guanchao's recommendation of Fu Ying contained no personal feelings, and that he genuinely felt Fu Ying replacing Chang Youcai as Vice Mayor would be the best option for her.
If possible, Wu Qiangwei also wanted to promote Fu Ying.
But after careful thought, she still decided to give up.
She had no choice.
After all, Jiangzhou was not her Jiangzhou alone.
She had to take other leaders into account.
The essence of officialdom is the exchange of interests, a subtle balance in which you are part of me and I am part of you.
She certainly could promote Fu Ying and replace all the Vice Mayors with her own people.
But doing so would invisibly offend more people.
Officialdom is the most typical "when one man rises to the Way, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"; every leader wants to grow his own following.
