Zhang Shengshan was taken aback; he had not expected Nie Zhenbang to be so dismissive, confronting him directly. With an embarrassed smile, Zhang Shengshan nevertheless appeared calm and collected. He said indifferently, "Director Nie, please be patient. This bidding meeting overall was a tremendous success, fully reflecting the principles of fairness and equity. Throughout the bidding process, we introduced a notary system, striving for maximum transparency. It can be said that this was a bidding event comparable to those in textbooks."
Zhang Shengshan was no pushover. At first listen, his words seemed proper and without issue. But with a bit of thought, one could clearly understand.
By saying so, Zhang Shengshan was undoubtedly mocking Nie Zhenbang for not trusting his subordinates, hinting at some meddling.
Nie Zhenbang scoffed. He had already experienced Zhang Shengshan's fallacious arguments before and was no longer surprised.
