Chapter 95

Jiang Cheng said doubtfully, "What kind of underhanded rules could there be?"

Yang Luo smiled, "This is Shanghai, a municipality directly under the central government. Liu Zhirong is indeed the vice mayor, and nominally, he is the direct superior of Chief Han. But don't forget, both Chief Han and Liu Zhirong are at the deputy ministerial level. However, Chief Han is a member of the Standing Committee, is Liu Zhirong? Another point, Chief Han has a lot of room for promotion. If he gets promoted, it would be a leap to the top. If Liu Zhirong gets promoted, he would just go from acting to permanent. This is the difference between being a member of the Standing Committee and not. Think about it, would Liu Zhirong's wife dare to cause a scene? Would Chief Han give her any face?"

After saying this, Yang Luo patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder, "Old Jiang! You should learn the art of political strategy."

Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully, "Political strategy?"

"Yes! Political strategy! There are three types of strategy. Cao Cao, a cunning hero, was skilled in dark strategies. Zhuge Liang, with his unparalleled intelligence, was skilled in open strategies. And for officials, they must be skilled in political strategy to navigate the political arena smoothly."

Jiang Cheng looked at Yang Luo, "I don't understand!"

"Ha ha ha," Yang Luo laughed heartily, "You don't understand, which is why you're still just a small police captain. When you understand, perhaps Shanghai will be in your hands."

Jiang Cheng muttered, "If you understand, then why are you just a small police officer?" Jiang Cheng was annoyed that Yang Luo called him a 'small' police captain, adding an extra 'small.'

Yang Luo took a deep final drag on his cigarette and pressed the butt into the ashtray forcefully, "I don't want to be an official." He then patted Jiang Cheng's office chair, "Sitting in such a chair is exhausting, the higher you sit, the more exhausting it is. As the saying goes, 'In the position, do the job.' The higher the position, the greater the responsibility. I don't want to worry about so-called public issues with some title, it would kill me. And my personality isn't suited for being an official." It was unclear if Jiang Cheng heard Yang Luo's words, but he was just thinking hard about what political strategy was.

Yang Luo looked at him and smiled, "Old Jiang! If you don't understand, don't think about it. You're not suited for this kind of game. I'll give you a piece of advice: no matter what happens in the future, as long as you firmly stand by Chief Han, your career will rise accordingly."

Jiang Cheng raised his head and said, "Chief Han is my superior, of course, I will stand by him."

Yang Luo shook his head helplessly. Jiang Cheng was a straightforward and honest man, just like his brothers who would take bullets for him, and he was trustworthy. The fact that Jiang Cheng had reached his current position was certainly due to his capabilities, which was one of the main reasons Yang Luo respected him. Otherwise, with Yang Luo's personality, he wouldn't care about you no matter how high your rank.

"You'll understand my words in the future." He finished with a sly smile, "Now, let's discuss how to have some fun with the Green Gang. I've been idle these past few days and am a bit restless. Let's have some fun with the Green Gang."

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat at Yang Luo's smile, "What are you up to now? Playing with the Green Gang? They're not that easy to mess with. Come up with a detailed plan quickly, and most importantly, when we act, don't give them any chance to react or cause any disturbances."

Yang Luo smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry! I, Yang Luo, will never give the enemy a chance to live. But now isn't the time to act, so I can only have some fun with them."
