At this moment, the conference room was also silent, and the members of the finance bureau knew it was not their place to talk. At a time like this, observing Mayor Nie's attitude was crucial, anyone who spoke would be deemed a fool. Plus, some people were considering that Liu Qingquan from the finance bureau was likely to rise to power. It's better to align with him now rather than later. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.
If Ren Yong knew that some members of his team still had this mindset, perhaps he wouldn't have blocked the budget from the public security bureau.
Moreover, Ren Yong didn't anticipate that Nie Zhenbang would intervene in the internal affairs of the finance bureau without considering his status. Generally speaking, the city does not interfere with the division of work among the various bureaus; this is determined by negotiation within each unit.
