Longxi Provincial Committee, grand conference room.
It was 8 a.m., the beginning of the workday, yet at this moment, all eighty seats in the grand conference room were occupied. Officials from each of the ten cities across the province, various bureaus, and committees, as well as leaders from state-owned enterprises within the province, had all assembled.
At 8:20, the meeting officially began. Presided over by Liu Xiaomin, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee, Nie Zhenbang started to speak after a quick glance around the room.
With a rather composed expression and a slight nod of his head, Nie Zhenbang began, "The day before yesterday, I made a special trip to Jinan City. Yesterday, I visited the Ancient Capital Economic and Technological Development Zone. Over these two days, I have gained a detailed understanding of the economy across the entire Longxi Province. Overall, I am not satisfied with the economic development of our province."
