Reborn as a Noble's Son-Chapter 337 - 328 Gathering Order_1
Chapter 337: Chapter 328 Gathering Order_1
Nie Zhenbang’s response satisfied Zhuang Aiguo greatly – “plan then act” typified the basic quality a mature cadre should have. If Nie made decisions off the top of his head without any understanding or investigation, that would go against the intention of key training. Such a cadre, who makes decisions on a whim, wouldn’t go far in the long run.
Subsequently, Zhuang Aiguo nodded and said, “Good, I estimate that in the next day or two, a leader from the Central Organization Department will contact you. Come by tomorrow afternoon when I have some time.”
As soon as he returned to his place at the Dynasty Club, all three women greeted him. None of them were simple-minded wives. During their honeymoon, when their husband was called away, it was certainly essential. Nie Zhenbang did not wait for the trio to ask before declaring, “I just received accurate news. This time, I may be posted to the local area, Liangxi City in Jiangbei Province.”
When Nie Zhenbang speaks of accurate news, it is indeed accurate news. Especially when coupled with a definite location, it implies that the matter has basically been settled.
Upon hearing this, Yang Anna immediately suggested, “Oh, then we should also start preparing. Sister Wan, let’s go to Liangxi City first to scout the place, and buy a house. Sister Li Xue is pregnant, she should not go. Once we’ve settled everything, we can move her over.”
From Anna’s tone, this sounded like a complete relocation. However, Nie Zhenbang had no objections. Now that they were married, it was fine. Anna would definitely go. Moreover, with Li Lixue being pregnant, Nie Zhenbang would not feel at ease leaving her in Jingcheng. Having the three of them together provided mutual care.
With this in mind, Nie Zhenbang moderately said, “That sounds good. Wan and Anna, you two go ahead and arrange everything first. This way, we can move in directly when we arrive. It’s convenient.”
Although there would surely be housing arrangements, it was not a strict rule that they had to live in the municipal committee and municipal government’s families area. If they had their own houses, who could criticize them for living in their own houses?
Seeing that Nie Zhenbang had said this, Dong Wan and Li Lixue could not say anything else, but they were quite pleased. This also indicated that Nie Zhenbang treated the three women equally.
On this side, the three women naturally went to discuss the housing matter. After all, ostensibly they could not live together, but secretly, arranging where to live and how to layout the house required the three of them to discuss and consider.
Nie Zhenbang, however, had already taken out his phone and dialed Ning Zhiyuan. For something concerning Jiangbei Province, Liangxi City, only Ning Zhiyuan could help.
As soon as the call connected, before Ning Zhiyuan could speak from the other end, Nie Zhenbang stated, “Zhiyuan, help me find the information on Liangxi City. This time, I might be assigned to Liangxi. Do it as soon as you can, and try to deliver the materials to me at the Dynasty Club by tomorrow morning.”
After hanging up, Ning Zhiyuan had an interesting expression on his face. Nie Zhenbang was unexpectedly going to Liangxi City and even his father, Governor Ning, did not receive the news beforehand. Evidently, this was quite sudden. This time, Nie Zhenbang would be going head-to-head with Li Guohua in Liangxi. It appeared that Jiangbei Province would not be peaceful in the future.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiyuan promptly called Su Jinguo, whom his father’s secretary. When Su answered, Ning Zhiyuan chuckled, “Secretary Su, hello, it’s me, Zhiyuan. I need a favor.”
As the secretary, in front of the governor’s son, Su Jinguo naturally didn’t dare to strike a pose and display his role as the government secretary. He laughed heartily, “Zhiyuan, why so polite? We’re brothers, aren’t we? Speak, what is it? I will certainly handle it for you if I can.”
Ning Zhiyuan then said, “Brother Su, a friend of mine wants detailed information on Liangxi City. Can you help get it for me? I’ll need it tonight. Could you send it to me by fax? Is it doable?”
On the other side, almost without hesitation, Su Jinguo quickly responded with, “Okay, no problem.”
Justice was indeed served by Ning Zhiyuan. He said it would be by morning, yet it was not even nine in the morning and Nie Zhenbang already received the material sent by Ning Zhiyuan. What Nie Zhenbang needed was not general data about Liangxi City, but information about the staff members of the Liangxi City Committee. Introductions of the city could be found anywhere and Nie Zhenbang could look at those just before starting work there. There wasn’t a need to study them now. What Nie Zhenbang wanted to see was the cadre data of Liangxi City. Knowing one’s own strength and the enemy’s is the sure way to victory, this is exactly what it means.
Looking at the data, it showed that Liangxi City, as the economic powerhouse of Jiangbei Province and the second-largest city in the province, had a total of 13 standing committee members. This was a quite a large system.
The list included Liangxi City Committee Secretary Fan Changsheng, Mayor Wu Jiacheng, Full-time Deputy Secretary Zhu Zhuozhen, Political and Legal Committee Secretary Huang Jiang, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Lei Dingguo, Executive Deputy Mayor Li Guohua, Organization Department Head Huang Junshan, Propaganda Department Head Li Xiaoqin (female), Military District Commander Peng Kaibao, Standing Deputy Mayor Zhao Xintian, United Front Work Department Head Wen Yuhe, City Committee Secretary-general Hu Youquan, and Liangcheng District Committee Secretary Ye Zhengwen.
Nie Zhenbang was not surprised to see this list. Liangxi City was the second largest city in Jiangbei. Its economic output ranked first in Jiangbei, even exceeding that of Jiangzhou, the capital city of Jiangbei Province. This fact alone speaks volumes. Having thirteen standing committee members was not an excessive number compared to the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, there were also the names of the leading members of the Liangxi City government, along with the heads of each direct-operated bureau. This was the most comprehensive list of names that could be obtained on the surface. At the bottom, there were notes on who was closely linked to who and who had disagreements. With this list in hand, Nie Zhenbang had a clear plan in mind. It would be immensely useful for him to gain a solid footing in Liangxi City.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang already had suitable candidates in mind. Zhuang Aiguo had made it clear that he could bring his own people, but even though Zhuang Aiguo said he could request anyone, there were nevertheless boundaries. If he could really ask for anyone, Nie Zhenbang might as well replace the entire committee. Why bother thinking so much?
After reflecting for a moment, Nie Zhenbang carefully deliberated. For the position of secretary, he decided to transfer Yi Jun to Liangxi City as Deputy Secretary-General of the city government, temporarily acting as his own secretary. Currently, Yi Jun was the Secretary-General of the Xinli City government, a role equivalent to that of a senior department level cadre. The position of Deputy Secretary-General in Liangxi City also fell under the same level; hence, it can be regarded as a lateral shift. After a period of transition, once Yi Jun had a solid grasp of the situation, he could completely take over as the city government Secretary-General. As for the secretary, that would require a new selection. Another candidate Nie Zhenbang considered was Chen Le. Currently, Chen Le was a standing committee member of the Xinli City Party Committee, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and concurrently the director of the Public Security Bureau. Xinli City was a sub-provincial city, and the public security bureau was a sub-bureau-level unit, so Chen Le was overqualified, classified as a department-level cadre. If transferred to serve as the director of the Liangxi City Public Security Bureau, it would be a lateral movement as well. Having these two individuals would not only mean working with cadres he had personally promoted and was familiar with but also greatly assist in controlling the city government and even having a certain influence on the Liangxi City’s Party Committee.
Having made these decisions, Nie Zhenbang promptly dialed Yi Jun’s number. As soon as the call connected, Yi Jun on the other end seemed somewhat surprised and excited, “Secretary, how have you been?”
Nie Zhenbang laughed, “Haha, what’s there to feel good or bad about? I’m not old or feeble. I’m in great health and everything I eat tastes delicious. Xiaoyi, the reason I’m calling you is to ask you something. If you were asked to leave New Li City and take up a post in Liangxi City of Jiangbei Province, would you be willing?”
Upon hearing this, how could Yi Jun not be willing? To tell the truth, he had been waiting for this call for two years. Although he was settled with a family, Yi Jun still clearly remembered the words Nie Zhenbang said before he left. Now, the wait was finally over. As for the issue of his family, Yi Jun was not a child, and his rank wouldn’t be downgraded, thus ensuring his wife and children would get a satisfactory settlement. Therefore, Yi Jun responded without hesitation, “Secretary, I’ve been waiting for your call for two years. I have no issues, everything will be in accordance with Secretary’s instructions.”
Yi Jun’s straightforwardness and decisiveness pleased Nie Zhenbang. Though Yi Jun was promoted by him, Nie Zhenbang had been somewhat worried given the two years’ gap, wondering if his influence over Yi Jun remained. Yet, it now seemed that the concern was unnecessary. His appeal was still intact. After hanging up with Yi Jun, Nie Zhenbang dialed Chen Le’s number.
Unlike Yi Jun, Chen Le, working in public security, played a joke right when he answered, “Secretary, I’ve been waiting for your call. I’m ready at any time. Secretary, please just issue the command.”
Hearing Chen Le’s words, Nie Zhenbang laughed and pretended, “Chen Le, do you know I called to give you an assignment? Can’t it be a regular call to simply chat?”
Chen Le sneered in his heart. In the past two years, Nie Zhenbang had never called him. Normally, it was always he who called Nie Zhenbang. As if he would believe Nie this time.
Then, Chen Le played along with Nie Zhenbang, “Secretary, I am always prepared. When you call, I know it must be for a task.”
Nie Zhenbang chuckled and then became serious, “Alright, let’s get down to business. Chen Le, I’m thinking about transferring you to Liangxi City, Jiangbei Province. Prepare yourself.”
Nie Zhenbang’s leadership style was becoming more and more mature. For every subordinate with different styles, Nie Zhenbang had a different way of speaking to them. With Yi Jun, he was serious and calm, while with Chen Le, he had a military style. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
From the other side, Chen Le’s voice came through, “Yes, sir! As soon as I receive the order, I will head to Liangxi City immediately to prepare everything for you, Secretary.”
After establishing the mindset for these two, Nie Zhenbang stood up. It was now noon. After the four men had lunch together, Nie Zhenbang took a rare short rest. At two in the afternoon, he headed to the office building of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
As he entered Zhuang Aiguo’s office, Zhuang Aiguo also smiled and asked, “Have you made up your mind?”
