"No Scandals" actually means there are scandals, and "Confidential" tells you there's something to it, something... A high-ranking 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, pulling down their pants, 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, tactfully giving up their spots for the leaders. If one gave way, the other had to as well; if someone didn’t, they’d get the short end of the stick. The two leaders relieved themselves heartily while bantering, but the mayor and the secretary standing behind them didn’t dare to laugh. If they laughed too little or too much, 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 their urinal spots, they couldn’t even go to the bathroom.
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. Because people always have vivid imaginations when it comes to the officialdom. This is also one of the reasons why "officialdom novels" have remained so popular for a long time. This book benefits from the author being an insider in the officialdom, writing about the officialdom from within, which makes it even more authentic and skillful.
