East Red Action leadership group was fully assembled today, for the first time since the plan was launched. Associate leaders left their posts to gather at the command center, witnessing a historic moment. People had started arriving since 4 PM, Bai Yang didn't recognize anyone, yet everyone came to shake hands with him.
Zhao Bowen and Wang Ning introduced him around; Bai Yang was dizzy with all the titles he heard, each sounding very impressive. Uncle Zhao introduced some as professors, directors, and chiefs, while Wang Ning mentioned some were at the associate bureau level, deputy department level, and department level.
A certain chief told Bai Yang that although it was their first meeting, they had been collaborating for a long time. Bai Yang felt anxious, wondering how he mysteriously became colleagues with a department head.
Bai Zhen was timing with a pocket watch.
