While Wang Ye was still shopping in Weidenghan, his counterparts at the city bureau had already received a report from Liudmila and had urgently convened a meeting to discuss their response.
Liudmila had driven herself to the station and reported directly to the Director in person, worried that she might not be able to explain the situation clearly over the phone.
The Director, upon hearing the report, acknowledged that it posed a challenge, but he was not overly fearful.
For one, he was not responsible for the mess at hand, so even if Mikhail would want to cause trouble, he wouldn't aim for him.
Secondly, he was the big boss of the city bureau, after all!
Being such an important figure, they even respected him within their first faction.
Even though he was not on par with Mikhail, Mikhail would still have to respect the face of Grezlov or the Kremlin, they couldn't give him a hard time.
Moreover, respect should be mutual!
