Features: A long called "No Scandals," with a subtitle—"The Confidential Mayor's Diary." "No Scandals" actually means there are scandals, and "Confidential" tells you there's something to it, something... A high-level cadre meeting called by the provincial government had just ended. The mayor and the secretary of the provincial party committee rushed into the restroom, each taking an urinal, but then saw the deputy governor and the party secretary of the provincial organization department following behind. They held back their urine just as they were about to release it, making room for the leaders. If one gave way, the other had to give way too; if someone didn’t, they’d get the short end of the stick. The two leaders took their turns urinating while bantering, but the mayor and the secretary standing behind them didn’t dare to laugh. If they laughed too little or too much at the wrong time, it would reflect poorly on them. Yet, in this situation, not laughing wasn’t right either. Not only did they fail to laugh, but even after securing a spot to urinate, they couldn’t go through with it.
A long called "No Scandals," with a subtitle—"The Confidential Mayor's Diary." "No Scandals" actually means there are scandals, and "Confidential" tells you there’s something to it, something exciting—full of thrilling material. This is because people always have vivid imaginations when it comes to the world of officials. It’s also one of the reasons why "officialdom novels" have remained so popular for so long. This book benefits from the author’s firsthand experience in the officialdom, writing about the officialdom from within it, which makes it all the more authentic.
