Once Zhang Ziwen is seated, General Huang says with a smile, "Let me introduce you: This is Commissar Zhang from the Naval Committee. He is here today specifically for you."
"Greetings, commander!" Zhang Ziwen instinctively stands up straight. He gives a standard salute with a loud voice, but he stops halfway because this is not a military setting. He awkwardly lowers his hand.
Commissar Zhang stands up and chuckles, "Quite the strong voice, very soldier-like. However, in civilian settings, we don't usually bother with salutes; a handshake to express comradery will suffice." He extends his hand with a smile.
