At the level of Nie Zhenbang and Zeng Taiping, a lot could be communicated without the need for explicit words. Concerning these matters, Zeng Taiping's words had made his opinion quite clear. The truth was, if Fan Youcai had the ability to serve as the head of the Finance Department, there wouldn't be any question about his competence with such matters, whether or not he was capable of serving in a higher position.
Yet Zeng Taiping suggested that Fan Youcai needs to learn more from Nie Zhenbang. This meant that Nie Zhenbang's words were still influential in the matters of the Finance Department. With Zeng Taiping's approval, there shouldn't be any issues from Fan Youcai's side.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang also stood up and modestly said, "Secretary Zeng, that's too serious; I'm far from being an expert, I'm still learning. As for the finance work, it's mainly led by Comrade Fan Youcai."
