Mayor Nie was hosting a dinner party for his faction—a news that quickly spread amongst all his faction's officials.
Before leaving work, Nie Zhenbang called Yang Anna and also sent his driver Guo Sanbao to her. He prepared all the dishes for the evening by himself instead of using the readymade ones provided by the small respite at the Municipal Party Committee. Perhaps this was going to be the last gathering for him and his subordinates in Wanghai City and consequently, the last meal he offered them. He wanted everything to be perfect.
After work, Nie Zhenbang left his office with Li Jupeng and went home. As soon as he entered the door, Yang Anna appeared, dressed for cooking.
"An Na, how is the preparation going? I'm here to help," said Nie Zhenbang, rolling up his sleeves and preparing to enter the kitchen.
"Mayor, cooking personally today, we are really fortunate."
