"Old classmate, this is James Smith, the deputy section chief of the City Bureau's turnover tax department. He's quite promising. I specifically asked him to help us out with this matter. With Smith Chief's support, the lower precincts won't refuse to give face."
Emma Campbell's Aunt Mary's classmate is named Michael Johnson, now a section chief at a precinct. However, he's not in the same precinct as Aunt Mary's husband. In a precinct, personnel management is decided by the director, especially temporary workers, which can be settled with just a word from the director. However, as a section chief in one precinct, he can't dictate anything to directors of other precincts, but a deputy section chief from the City Bureau does have such influence.
