Bashu Provincial Committee meeting room.
At this moment, it is two-thirty in the afternoon, not long after the workday has begun. Yet the atmosphere inside the small meeting room seems oppressive and gloomy. This is the first standing committee meeting of the Provincial Committee following the Xingzhou City flood prevention case. All the committee members are aware that today's meeting is unlikely to be peaceful.
As the time draws near, Zeng Taiping enters from outside the door. At this moment, Zeng Taiping appears very calm.
However, it is clear that beneath this calm there lurks a sense of satisfaction—a provocation and an affront to Nie Zhenbang. Such a major case ending in such an understated manner is an insult.
