"Secretary Luo, is it true that rumors arise because there's some truth behind them? Isn't that why they exist?" Wang Zhanting tapped his fingers on the table leisurely. "After all, everyone here is your elder; you should understand their feelings. Secretary Hua is our strong supporter. If he indeed has any issues, how should we juniors face the crisis? We're in the middle of a major overhaul in the Northern District. Prolonging a leaderless state will negatively impact the area, which is a concern for everyone. If Secretary Hua is indeed out of the province on an inspection, shouldn't he wait until things here are settled before taking such actions?"
"Minister Wang, are you implying that Secretary Hua's actions are inappropriate?"
"Ah, Secretary Luo, that's not a pleasant way to put it. We didn't mean it that way. As you said, either call Secretary Hua back to chair the meeting, or we'll wait patiently."
