Secretary Sun was not especially clever, but having followed Secretary Lu for so long as a major figure in the City Committee, he had sufficient information to discern the pros and cons.
At the dinner tonight, although Zhang Meilin seemed to be the top dog, the whole scenario was controlled by Deputy Secretary Chen Guanyun.
The attitudes of other standing committee members and bureau leaders were subtly different toward Chen Guanyun and Zhang Meilin.
He hadn't noticed at the time, but thinking back now, it was glaringly obvious.

It was clear that this was a setup targeting Zhang Meilin.

Secretary Sun felt completely at a loss, and his first instinct was to steer clear.
