Zhang Lan asked in surprise, "No way."
Han Xiangning laughed and said, "Why not? Don't forget what he used to do. Being in charge as the Deputy Mayor seems big, but the real power might not be greater than the Director's. Besides, he's not even the Deputy Mayor, just a Deputy Researcher."
"Won't he take charge when he comes back?"
"He won't, at least he won't take the initiative to manage."
Han Xiangning smiled and added, "He said he's been stepping back for over two years already. Even if he takes his role seriously, he can only do it for another two years. Instead of involving himself in everything and annoying people, he'd rather not manage anything and spend his precious time with my master's wife."
