"Dad, you go ahead, I don't have anything going on here for now." With that, Nie Zhenbang covered the receiver and said to his secretary Li Jupeng outside: "Jupeng, please close the door for me. I have something to take care of. I'm not seeing anyone."
As the mayor, he could make excuses to anyone in Wanghai City, even if that someone was City Committee Secretary Li Taishi unless they were higher-ranking leaders who had come to inspect.
Nie Zhenbang understood Father-in-law Yang Shengli's personality well. If it weren't something important, he would never call him. Could it be that Elder Yang had passed away?
Upon thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang immediately dismissed the idea. While he was in Jingcheng, he had heard that Elder Dong's condition was even more critical. Given their statuses, the physicians and the state would do everything possible to prolong their lives, even if it meant being a vegetable lying in bed, as it still served as a deterrent.
