The courtyards of Li Taishi and Nie Zhenbang were merely separated by a wall, the compound of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Courtyard One and Courtyard Two, in between, is just a wall less than 1.7 meters tall.
As soon as Nie Zhenbang got off work in the afternoon, he stood up. It was rare to not work overtime in his office, and as he left the office, Li Jupeng, who was outside, was somewhat surprised to see him up.
Nie Zhenbang preemptively said: "Jupeng, let's call it an early day. Tonight, I don't have much on my plate. You don't have to accompany me."
Li Jupeng nodded, the job of a secretary requires understanding implicit directives. Mayor Nie's intention was clear, don't follow him tonight, anything more would be overdoing it and become more bothersome. This point, Li Jupeng could now understand quite well.
