Yuan Peiqiang knew he misspoke, his old face heating up, and he coughed awkwardly as he explained, "I didn't mean anyone here, please don't misunderstand."
Gao Xinhua persisted, "Then who did you mean?"
Zhao Feiyang said, "Secretary Gao, don't be upset, Old Yuan just misspoke." He looked at Yuan Peiqiang with a smile and said, "Old Yuan, you've been at Changxing for a while now, you should have adapted to the work pace by now. I feel like you're a bit slow to get into the state."
Everyone understood that Zhao Feiyang was implying that Yuan Peiqiang was not competent.
Yuan Peiqiang nodded and said, "Dean Zhao is right, I've been busy with the new hospital's construction lately, so I'm a bit fatigued."
Zhao Feiyang was thoroughly enraged by this. Yuan Peiqiang, what do you mean? Trying to claim credit? You busy with the new hospital's construction? Was the new hospital built by you alone?
