Liu Sheng was around 45 years old, with neat side-parted hair, a short-sleeved white shirt, and dark trousers. His attire was the standard set of a system official. He was about 1.7 meters tall and slightly overweight, a black briefcase in hand. His smile was warm and sincere.
Guided by Li Jupeng, Liu Sheng entered the office. Clearly, he was a bit nervous at this moment.
Nie Zhenbang could empathize. Having been in office for several months without reporting to higher-level leaders, he would probably feel the same way.
Before Liu Sheng could speak, Nie Zhenbang dismissed any nervousness with a wave of his hand, saying, "Director Liu, please have a seat."
Like many officials, Liu Sheng was careful not to settle fully into his chair, perching himself halfway on the edge. This allowed him to get up at a moment's notice.
