"He's got some serious pull. I thought he wouldn't be promoted and transferred until next year, but he was maneuvered out midway through this one." Wang Linchi smacked his lips, a sigh escaping him.
The Prefect Magistrate had been promoted and transferred. He had already left by the time Wang Linchi went to collect his Level Four allowance.
This left the Principal anxiously frustrated. After all, based on merit, he should have been promoted first, but instead, the Prefect Magistrate of Qinghe City was allowed to leave before him.
His successor was also from their faction, so there was no concern about conflicts of interest. Their established connections were simply passed on.
"However, nothing in the world is absolute," Wang Linchi muttered under his breath.
Even within the same faction, there were allocation problems. What if the newcomer wanted more? That would require redistribution.
