According to the plan, in Yangcheng, Zhang Xiaoxi also "took" Wang Ye to have a discussion with the mayor.
The reason for saying "took" Wang Ye was that Wang Ye did not disclose his identity and temporarily acted as Zhang Xiaoxi's assistant.
Otherwise, the reception standard would have skyrocketed!
After all, the status of the mayor of Yangcheng City is actually far below that of Wang Ye as the "Duma's First Vice Speaker"...
And it's likely that the mayor of Yangcheng was completely unaware of Wang Ye's true identity, perhaps due to his level, he had not been privy to this secret.
Therefore, during the meeting with Zhang Xiaoxi and Wang Ye, even though his attitude was quite enthusiastic, you could still see a bit of condescension in his demeanor.
He "enlightened" Zhang Xiaoxi as someone of higher status.
