The so-called having ideas or not, is merely a courteous phrase used by leaders, and Nie Zhenbang, being a leader himself, deeply understands its intricacies.
From President Qiao's words, much information could already be inferred: the situation in Hongjiang Province was not good. Nie Zhenbang was not very familiar with Hongjiang Province, but back when he was in Minan, he did have some business dealings with the Hongjiang Provincial Committee. Hongjiang Province is an old revolutionary base and an inland province. These details composed Nie Zhenbang's preliminary impression of Hongjiang.
However, at this moment, Nie Zhenbang dared not take it lightly. The fact that President Qiao had described Hongjiang as a tangled mess indicated that the situation in the province was somewhat unstable, which was a test for President Qiao.
