I always thought 'groups' were temporary units. It wasn't until I saw Captain Chen and Director Liu last night that I realized the headquarters has set up several second-level departments. Below those departments are offices, and below the offices are divided into groups, but the groups aren't officially structured."
Although Zhang Junyan had served in the army, he was always in the grassroots and really didn't know these things. He asked curiously, "Then, what is the rank of an office?"
"It seems to be at the level of a Commander. Those agency cadres can be ranked up to the deputy level within their department. Ordinary advisors and assistants, even if they don't become deputy directors, can strive for Deputy Division Commander, while technical cadres are basically at the Commander level!"
Not going to the Capital, one wouldn't know how small the officials are.
