This address and salute immediately left Xiao Zhigang dumbfounded.
He swallowed hard.
Somewhat incredulous, he stepped forward.
He asked Li Anran, "Director Li, this person is..."
"Oh, let me introduce. This is Chen Shu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Dongchuan Provincial Committee, Secretary of the Jindu City Committee, and also the leader of our special task force this time."
Buzz.
Xiao Zhigang was stunned at once.
He was shocked for a full few seconds before he reacted.
He grasped Chen Fang's hand, regretfully saying, "Chen... Secretary Chen, I... I am truly sorry, I... I didn't mean it, I just... I just..."
He wanted to make up an excuse to explain his behavior.
Unsure whether due to nervousness or a lack of words, he didn't get the last sentence out.
"Director Li, what task force?"
Chen Fang asked, somewhat confused.
Li Anran pursed her lips and said, "Secretary Chen, let's talk in the car, Minister Wen and the others are already waiting for you."
