Seeing the hesitation in Xia Gang's demeanor, Nie Zhenbang was naturally aware. There must be some words that were difficult to utter. But at this moment, in front of Liu Zhentao, the more evasive he became, the more it would feel inappropriate and unsuitable. It would make Liu Zhentao feel as if Secretary Nie didn't trust him. Such a matter could easily lead to misunderstandings and antipathy. Even worse, it could disrupt the harmonious atmosphere that Nie Zhenbang had meticulously fostered. Such an outcome was something Nie Zhenbang would never allow.
In a place where harmony prevails, everyone can pull together, and everyone's thoughts can be aligned. If there's disunity, and everyone has their own hidden agendas, nothing can be achieved. Everyone would become preoccupied with internal struggles, and no one would care about the region's development and construction.
