Chapter 985 - 985 941 Hongjiang River Specialty

?Chapter 985: Chapter 941: Hongjiang River Specialty Chapter 985: Chapter 941: Hongjiang River Specialty Director Chang showed no consideration at all; his words appeared to be quite normal, but they made the leaders from Hongjiang Province look somewhat displeased, including He Yusheng.

Listened to what Director Chang said, there seemed to be no issue on the surface, just nostalgia for past hardships. Everyone had experienced those times and understood what it was like. However, it’s important to listen to the tone as well as the words, and it was clear Director Chang meant something else.

In essence, he was just mocking Hongjiang Province.

In front of outsiders, the officials from Hongjiang still maintained a basic line of principle and integrity. For example, whether it was He Yusheng, Xu Hongzhuan, or other deputy leaders, many frowned upon hearing the words, because in fact, you’re just a department-level official from a ministry. In terms of rank, a mere regular director-level position. Now, when several local dignitaries from Hongjiang have personally come to welcome you regardless of the food quality, at least their sincerity is evident. Moreover, the central government has repeatedly stressed the importance of simplicity in travel and hospitality; it disapproves of showy displays, disturbing the public, blocking roads for processions, and holding lavish banquets. Acting this way is a strict compliance with those directives, so how could an official from a department lack such understanding.

Next to him, Director Zhao’s expression seemed to betray a sense of amusement; he clearly noticed the expressions of the Hongjiang people. Old Chang didn’t know how to read the room; were these things really to be said here?

He then chuckled, “Old Chang, you still need to raise your political consciousness. Red rice, pumpkin soup, these are the specialities of the revolutionary base areas. We can’t forget our roots, no matter what we forget. Life now, compared to the revolutionary times, is worlds apart. Standing on the land of Hongjiang, remembering the revolutionary forebears who died for the nation’s and the people’s independence, I think, a self-service meal is quite appropriate. Eat as you like, however you want.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice suddenly came from outside, “Well said.”

Everyone looked over as Nie Zhenbang walked in from outside. A faint smile was on his face, having overheard the incident just now. Although he felt some dissatisfaction, he did not show it at this moment.
