Xu Chunliang keenly sensed that he was being investigated and said with a smile, "Not worth mentioning!"
He neither confirmed nor denied, leaving Zhang Yiben plenty of room for speculation. However, he didn't lie; in Xu Chunliang's view, a deputy section level wasn't worth mentioning to begin with.
Zhang Yiben said, "I've been working for so many years and I'm still not at the deputy section level."
His deputy section level issue would be resolved this year, thanks to the help of a benefactor. In the system, having no background means having no future, which means that every small step forward requires much more effort than others.
Xu Chunliang said, "Aren't you already a section chief?"
Zhang Yiben said, "My section chief position is about the same as your dean position."
The two of them exchanged a glance and laughed at the same time, both having titles in name only.
Zhang Yiben said, "I've heard you come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners?"
