This act stunned all the members of the standing committee. Li Guohua, in particular, was dumbfounded in this moment, a look of delight emerging on his face. Nie Zhenbang's action was simply too unwise. Slamming the table during the standing committee meeting - what was he doing? Wasn't this akin to the behavior of an aggressive woman berating others in the streets?
Furthermore, if Nie Zhenbang were officially the mayor and the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, it could be excusable. After all, he would be the second in command of the municipal party committee and the top official in the government or, to use a common phrase, the mistress of the landlord's mansion. But now? An acting mayor was comparable to a concubine awaiting elevation. Acting in such a manner would inevitably give off a domineering impression. Even the other standing committee leaders would be pondering. If Nie Zhenbang behaved this way now, what would happen once he was elected?
