Upon hearing Secretary Gao's words, Secretary Tian wanted to recommend himself.
But he held back.
It's not that he's afraid of Secretary Gao, but he knows it's meaningless to do so.
Even if he recommends himself, the final decision requires a vote.
However, the final appointment authority lies with Secretary Gao.
So-called voting is just a procedure.
If the recommended candidate isn't to his satisfaction, it won't pass.
Thus, Secretary Tian sat silently with a scowl.
Secretary Gao slowly glanced over several committee members, finally settling on Governor Hou: "Governor Hou must have a recommended candidate?"
As the retiring governor, the organization usually pays attention to his recommendations.
Governor Hou nodded, "Indeed, I have a recommended candidate."
Everyone perked up their ears, eager to know who would be nominated as governor.
"I recommend the City Secretary of Tongzhou City, Lu Zhizhong."
