At noon, 11:00 a.m., Wu Qiangwei left early, followed by Song Guanchao and Zeng Li, heading to the hotel.
In the hotel banquet hall, five tables were set up.
All members of the action group had arrived. When Song Guanchao entered, everyone looked over at him and then started clapping vigorously, welcoming Song Guanchao.
This scene made Song Guanchao a bit uncomfortable.
Being too much in the spotlight sometimes isn't a good thing, especially with leaders like Secretary Lu present.
Zeng Li's eyes curved into a smile as she looked at Song Guanchao, as if she was the one who had achieved something.
Everyone took their seats and the dishes were served.
Secretary Lu stood up, holding his glass, and said, "I propose we all toast to Secretary Song!"
Song Guanchao quickly stood up.
He knew Secretary Lu meant no harm and wasn't intentionally putting him on the spot, but it was still drawing attention.
Others might praise, but you shouldn't get carried away.
