Chapter 664

"Not good. It’s absolutely terrible!" Zhao Lichun screamed internally, mentally marking a giant 'X' over the idea. A member of the Provincial Standing Committee holds a deputy-provincial level position. Currently, Qi Tongwei’s position is a bureau-level post as a member of the Jingzhou Municipal Standing Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, overseeing Jingzhou’s finance, development, and reform. His next promotion path could follow three avenues: a lateral transfer to another city, continued promotion within the city to the role of Mayor or Party Secretary, or a transfer to a provincial-level post. With these three options, if he wants to enter the Provincial Standing Committee, the first is clearly out of the question. That leaves only further advancement: serving in key roles like Head of the Provincial Organization Department, Head of the Publicity Department, Head of the United Front Work Department, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, or Party Secretary of a major city.
