Nie Zhenbang's statement made his intentions quite clear, hinting at a sense of satisfaction on both sides.
Wang Jianhua was quite pleased. Within the system, some intentions, once basically achieved, do not need to be explicitly stated. This was something that could only be understood, not shared verbally.
Just then, there came a hurried knock on the door outside. Followed by the voice of the municipal government secretary, An Guoyu, sounding out, "Mr. Ju Peng, is the mayor inside? I have an emergency situation that I need to report immediately."
An Guoyu's behavior left Nie Zhenbang stunned. Ever since Secretary An had earned his trust and approval, he always had been quite composed. Suddenly, what made him so restless?
Before anyone could respond, An Guoyu had already entered. Seeing Nie Zhenbang and Wang Jianhua sitting on the sofa, he nodded slightly and said, "Mayor Wang is here too. Saves me a trip."
