Indeed, he did use a strategy of divide and conquer plus focusing on the major while letting the minor slip today, which successfully reduced the degree of influence the Security Bureau had by a significant amount. The bubbling drama was calmed down.
But this was all temporary.
The department heads are currently suppressed by Fang Ze's high-pressure approach, using his authority as the director. But that doesn't mean they are convinced in their hearts.
Even, compared to before Fang Ze suppressed them, they are likely even more dissatisfied with him now.
As for the lower-level commissioners, although their attitude has changed and they are no longer so aggressive, they are still waiting and watching.
Everyone is waiting to see how Fang Ze will handle being the director.
All the undercurrents have simply moved from the surface to underground.
So, Fang Ze couldn't afford to take it lightly.
He still had to find a way to win over the people in the bureau.
