On Sunday evening, the Taipei Taxi Union held a banquet. Jiang Wanan showed up just after President Lai Ching-te and Shen Boyang were about to leave. Netizens accused him of deliberately being an hour late because he was hiding from his rivals. However, after learning that this was an arrangement by the organizer, Jiang was scheduled to arrive at the venue around 7:30 p.m. Shen Boyang was ready to take a ride to leave. After learning that Chiang had arrived, he returned to the venue to say hello and suddenly whispered a few words into his ear. The scene was photographed and sparked heated discussion among the outside world.
Shen Boyang said afterwards that he told Jiang Wanan that "child abuse has become a systemic problem, and the city government really needs more help in the system." However, Jiang did not respond much at the moment and was busy toasting table after table. Only later was he interviewed and said, "Child abuse is not treated properly. In fact, it has been clearly explained to the outside world. On the contrary, poisonous oil is a systemic problem, and the central government should explain it clearly." Seeing that Jiang did not dare to respond to Shen immediately, but later only gave some answers that he had already said when facing the media, and even mentioned poisonous oil, a large number of netizens shook their heads.
A Pudu dinner party was also held at Guanghua Shopping Mall on Monday. Shen Boyang actively traveled to attend the event, but Jiang Wanan, who was originally scheduled to attend, was nowhere to be seen. When being interviewed by the media, a reporter said that Jiang had temporarily canceled the trip and asked Shen whether it was related to the meeting the day before. After hearing this, Shen Boyang helped calm down and said: "Maybe the mayor's schedule is busy, so he may not be able to make time for it. I think this is okay. Today's protagonists are the merchants in the entire Guanghua business district. We focus on them. Whether the mayor will come, I think that is his own schedule." But the city councilor Liu Yaoren on the side smiled and said: "I was scared by you yesterday, and I am shrinking today."
Political worker Zhou Xuan shared this interview scene on the evening of the 7th. Netizens said, "Yesterday, I was caught off guard by PUMA when I was asked an hour late. Today, I simply didn't dare to ask A and B.", "When Jiang Wanan was photographed memorizing the manuscript, he was yelling at Shen Boyang for frozen garlic. The scene was so ugly that he had to avoid it in the future.", "A mayor can really be sneaky," and "Bao Li is stupid B "If something comes to me, I'll run to you." "Yangflee, Yangflee, run away immediately when you hear Shen Boyang coming."
