When Shen Xueshan, representing the Liaoning Provincial Committee, first appeared at the entrance of the conference hall, the originally bustling venue suddenly fell silent. Almost everyone instinctively turned their gaze towards the door, while the photographers responsible for video recording and photography immediately aimed their cameras at the entrance.
Facing the scrutiny of the audience and the cameras, Shen Xueshan, who became a pawn of Chen Fan due to receiving a "gift," no longer pondered why neither Chen Fan nor Nalan Yongke had appeared yet, instead, he walked towards the rostrum with a faint smile on his face.
Following behind Shen Xueshan was Chang Xin.
Unlike Shen Xueshan, Chang Xin also had a smile on his face, but it was tinged with bitterness.
