"Elder Zhang, please, don't say that. As far as Jiangzhou is concerned, you are the most brilliant calling card there is. Who in the entire circle doesn't know that you are a truly virtuous official, deeply loved by all the people? The scene back when you retired—where countless citizens of Jiangzhou lined up in front of the municipal government and the provincial party committee offices with banners, pleading for you to remain in office—has now become a benchmark case study at the Party School! That’s why, the moment I was on my way to Jiangzhou, I thought to myself that I had to pay you a visit. It’s just that when I first arrived, there were simply too many things to attend to, so I couldn't free myself up until now," Chen Jianfeng said with a quick laugh.
"That's all ancient history; there's no need to bring it up. Come on, let's go inside and sit. Come on in first!" Zhang Weimin shook his head and waved his hands.
He then turned to Yan Huaili, saying, "Huaili, why don't you take Section Chief Chen and the others inside first? I’m going to wash my hands before I join you."
