"Wow, so many people are here already. Looks like I'm late."
Chen Fang said with a smile.
Jiang Tuo grabbed Chen Fang's hand, also smiling brightly, and said, "No, no, we came early. Chen Secretary arrived just in time."
Indeed, he knows how to talk; his words felt like a spring breeze.
Besides Jiang Tuo and Zhang Shihua.
There were three other people.
Disciplinary Committee Secretary Zhou Feng.
Organizational Minister Deng Xingyong and Director of the Public Security Bureau Li Yonggang.
It is evident these people were Jiang Tuo's staunch loyalists.
Of course, today's banquet was more than it seemed, and right from the start, Chen Fang caught the ramifications.
Jiang Tuo arranged for Chen Fang to sit between him and Zhang Shihua.
This seating order was appropriate.
Chen Fang was the top official, flanked by the second and third officials, adhering to the hierarchy.
The issue arose when Chen Fang had just sat down.
