Chapter 367
"Ah?"
Lu Feng was stumped and scratched his head, saying, "Squad leader, I don’t understand this stuff."
Then, after thinking for a few seconds, he added, "But I think you’re smart, squad leader. You can learn anything right away, even the company and battalion commanders, political commissar, and the old chief have said so."
"I think with your smarts, it doesn’t matter whether you’re in the military or in politics, as long as you want to do it, you can do it well."
"And aren’t you doing well right now?"
"Only three months in, and you’ve moved from being a driver to a top secretary in the City Committee. Even the Mayor has to give you face when he sees you."
Song Guanchao gave a self-deprecating smile, "What use is face? What I want is not just face. I entered politics because I want to make Lingjiang better."
Lu Feng said, "Lingjiang is pretty good now."
"Is it?" Song Guanchao shook his head. "You’re not in the system, so you can’t see a lot of things. In this line of work, there are too many people who are deadweight, not taking care of their responsibilities. Those few who do want to commit to their duties also end up being forced to conform to the corrupt norms."
Lu Feng asked, "Squad leader, are you being targeted by someone?"
"Who knows."
