At this point, the Number Five Leader's smile faded, and he turned serious once again, "Comrade Zhenbang, regarding our conversation today, you must absolutely keep it confidential. At present, this is just a preliminary plan. I am entrusted by the senior leadership and the Politburo to speak with you. However, concerning the issues with Jiangnan Province, the authorities above have not yet formed a unified opinion. That is to say, everything is still subject to change. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang was once again puzzled. Why was the Central Committee now conducting its affairs so unreliably? They hadn't reached a formal, unified position, hadn't adopted a resolution, and yet they had sought to have this conversation with him. What if there were to be a change of plan? Wouldn't that make things awkward for him? This approach seemed rather lax.
