With Zeng Li and Wu Ming present, Song Guanchao maintained his role as the office director and did not overstep boundaries, stopping his drinking at the right point.
At eight-thirty, Song Guanchao got up to leave, but only saw Wu Ming standing up with him, with Zeng Li showing no intention of leaving.
Unable to resist, he cast an inquiring glance at Wu Qiangwei, who responded with helplessness, and he immediately understood that Zeng Li intended to stay the night.
Seeing this situation, Song Guanchao extinguished the flicker of restlessness in his heart, changed his shoes, and left.
The next day in the office, Song Guanchao called Zhou Xingjian.
"Director Song, are you looking for me?" Zhou Xingjian now admired him greatly.
The incident at the meeting had long spread; Vice Mayor Chang Hai had brazenly forced a group of standing committee members to express their opinions according to his ideas.
