"Are you being transferred?" While still on the road, Xiao Li's call came through, having already heard the news.
"It seems the news spread quickly!"
"Yes, it's all over Xincheng now."
"Right, I'll be going to the provincial investment promotion bureau as a deputy director, probably ranked towards the bottom."
"That might be good, fewer people targeting you. Actually, I'm quite happy with this arrangement. After all, your age is a disadvantage. Where are there people in their twenties who become deputy heads? If you really were made a deputy head, I guess there would be uproar online."
Ji Yang had never really thought about this, but now that he seriously considered it, it was indeed the case. Without someone to shield him, he'd face too much skepticism.
Xiao Li then said, "I think this matter involves people in the province wanting to put you in your place, but there are also those on your side who want you to lay low for a while."
"I understand."
