Chapter 688: Chapter 644 WangHai Miracle_1
National Television Station
“Daily at Seven” news section.
At this moment, it is precisely seven o’clock in the evening. In the main conference room of the Wanghai City Municipal Party Committee and City Government office building, people gathered just as if they were about to hold an expanded meeting of the Wanghai Municipal Party Committee. Those sitting at the front are the members of the Standing Committee of the Wanghai Municipal Party Committee. Behind them are committee members of the Wanghai Municipal Party Committee.
Dozens of people are sitting upright, staring at the large screen in front of them. They are watching the “Daily at Seven” on the national television station via projector.
This collective television watching by committee members is a first in the history of Wanghai City. However, this was a request from the city party secretary, Tian Xujian. No one dared to contradict it.
After the initial reports about the country’s leaders, the screen switched, and the announcer said in standard Mandarin, “In the past few years, Wanghai City in Minan Province has seized the opportunity presented by the development of the internet industry. By taking advantage of the 14th root server, the city has energetically developed the computer information and internet industry, from which it has reaped great results over three years. Its per capita GDP growth has maintained at a rate of 20 percent, ranking first in the country. Now for the detailed account.”
...
At this moment, the committee members finally understood why they had been called together to watch the television broadcast. The news broadcast by “Daily at Seven” represents a sort of affirmation from the country. Now, during an election year, and at the national level, there are no uncertainties. Secretary General Shen is sure to be re-elected for another term. However, for localities, this is a rare opportunity. At this critical moment, the strong affirmation that Wanghai City is receiving signifies something profound. It is unavoidable that Tian Xujian doesn’t feel excited.
Following that news segment, the announcer’s image reappeared on the screen. This time, a male announcer took over: “In 2001, the central Party committee and the State Council, based on the current social development situation, looked far ahead and made broad plans. They established the Provisional Draft of the Three Public Expenditures Regulation. Now, three years have passed. How is the implementation of the Three Public Standards across the country? Below, please see the report sent back by our station’s reporters.”
…
At seven thirty, with the end of the news, the projector was turned off, and the lights in the conference room came on. At this moment in the meeting room, applause echoed throughout.
Tian Xujian, sitting in the central main seat, stood up. Beside him were Nie Zhenbang and Li Chaoyang. At this moment, a smile graced Tian Xujian’s face. He raised his hands and pressed down as if to calm everyone, then said, “Comrades, today is a day worth celebrating and being happy about for our city of Wanghai. Under the leadership of Mayor Zhenbang, the social and economic development of Wanghai City has risen a level each year. Three years ago, Wanghai was still undeveloped. Now, Wanghai has become a dazzling pearl. The per capita GDP has surpassed that of Nanhai City. This is our honor and pride. It is the rightfully earned ‘Miracle of Wanghai’.”
In these three years, Nie Zhenbang has turned thirty-three, almost thirty-four. Compared to three years ago, he is now more modest.
From the outside, he appears very steady and mature. However, even so, a thirty-four-year-old deputy ministerial level official is an extremely rare occurrence domestically.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang also raised his hands, signifying for everyone to quiet down before taking over the topic, “Comrades, the achievements of Wanghai City are worth recognizing. Just now, Secretary Tian gave me a high hat to wear. But here, I also want to emphasize. Let’s borrow a phrase from the television earlier, the ‘Miracle of Wanghai’. This miracle is not my individual achievement. It’s the joint effort of all the members of Wanghai City Government and the people of Wanghai City. Here, on behalf of the Wanghai City Party Committee and Government, I want to express heartfelt thanks to all the comrades present for their strong support of the city government’s work over these three years.”
Nie Zhenbang’s words seemed to have a hint of achievement sharing. This led to applause from all the officials in the city.
After the meeting, as soon as Nie Zhenbang stepped out of the conference room, Tian Xujian called from behind, “Mayor Zhenbang, let’s go together.”
Their three-year partnership has resulted in a much more intimate and harmonious relationship than when they first started. Over the years, Tian Xujian has further validated his initial decision.
As they walked together, Tian Xujian pondered for a moment before saying, “Mayor Zhenbang, honestly, when I came to Wanghai City, I had a lot of prejudices against you.”
Hearing Tian Xujian’s words, Nie Zhenbang chuckled and said, “Secretary Tian, it looks like you are about to leave. Have you settled on a new location yet?”
At Nie Zhenbang’s words, Tian Xujian was momentarily stunned but soon laughed, “Zhenbang, you’re indeed hard to fool. No sooner had I said those words than you guessed it. Sometimes, I suspect if you are a freak.”
Nie Zhenbang also laughed. After several years of collaboration, although they were not incredibly close, they did understand some of each other’s basic habits. He continued, “Secretary Tian, it wasn’t hard to guess. After three years, I have some understanding of your character. You’re not a sentimental person, so if you’re feeling so wistful today, it must mean something. Given the central government’s current favor towards Wanghai City and its performance, it’s only right that you move up the ladder. Have you decided on your destination?”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s analysis, Tian Xujian couldn’t help but admire him. The saying, ‘Reading the signs and knowing the future,’ sounds simple, but it’s not easily achieved. This is the difference between mediocrity and genius.
Then, Tian Xujian nodded and said, “The Central Organization Department calls me for a meeting on the day after tomorrow. According to news from Jingcheng, I may likely be appointed the governor of Heishui Province.”
Tian Xujian paused before continuing, “After I leave, I plan to nominate you for the position of Secretary of the Wanghai City Municipal Party Committee. Over the years, I have come to realize that you, Nie Zhenbang, are a true party member and cadre. I will be most assured if Wanghai City is in your hands.”
Upon hearing Tian Xujian’s words, Nie Zhenbang smiled, “Secretary Tian, thank you for your trust and support. Wanghai City wouldn’t have achieved what it has today without me. Do you remember when Governor Li first took office? Without your firm support, Secretary Tian, Wanghai wouldn’t have made such progress. My words in the meeting room just now were not mere courtesy; they were genuine.”
Tian Xujian could not help but sigh in retrospection. It was natural for the Li family and Nie Zhenbang to be at odds. As a governor, Li Jianghe could potentially create problems for Wanghai City. Although Wanghai City has strong autonomy, the Provincial Committee of Minnan Province does have control over many matters. Reflecting on this, Tian Xujian felt especially sentimental.
After a pause, Tian Xujian said seriously, “Mayor Zhenbang, after my transfer, the central government will respect our opinion in Wanghai City to some extent, and respect my recommendation. Also considering your personal background and capability, I believe there shouldn’t be much of an issue with you taking over as the party secretary. As for the mayor’s position, I’m thinking of having Comrade Li Chaoyang, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, to succeed. What do you think?”
The Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Chaoyang, is Tian Xujian’s protege. Now that Tian Xujian is being transferred to serve as the Governor of Heishui Province, he intends to secure a position for Li Chaoyang in return. It’s his obligation towards his subordinate.
Even if Tian Xujian didn’t recommend him, with Qiao Yiren around, he would most likely be the city’s party secretary. However, upsetting Tian Xujian at this time would be ill-advised. After considering, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “Comrade Li Chaoyang’s capabilities are indeed commendable. As Secretary Tian has made the decision, I have no objections.”
Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang agreeing, Tian Xujian felt the weight lifted off his chest. This matter was a bit of a gamble for him because if Nie Zhenbang had not agreed, he would have been in a difficult position. But now, it was a win-win situation.
After parting with Tian Xujian, Nie Zhenbang began to contemplate. Three years had passed in a flash. He didn’t realize that he had indeed spent one term in Wanghai City.
Tian Xujian was being transferred, and there shouldn’t be much suspense for him to take over as the party secretary, given Qiao Yiren’s presence. However, Nie Zhenbang suddenly stood up, thinking of Qiao Yiren, he realized he had overlooked something. Based on past conventions, Qiao Yiren will be transferred to Hucheng City as the party secretary in a year, preparing for the Central Government transition in the next term. That means, wouldn’t Li Jianghe be taking over the position of the Provincial Party Secretary of Minnan Province?
Although in his past life memory, Li Jianghe was not the governor of Minnan Province, this was not surprising. From the moment the fate of the Nie family changed, many families in Jingcheng had experienced significant changes. However, some things remained unchanged. There was no doubt that Li Jianghe has been conscientious in his work for the past three years, so there should be no problem for him to take up the position of the Provincial Party Secretary in Minnan province.
Upon this realization, Nie Zhenbang became serious. When Li Jianghe was only a governor, there wasn’t much issue as he was kept in check by Qiao Yiren above him and Tian Xujian and himself below. However, once he becomes the Provincial Party Secretary, it would definitely pose a huge threat to Wanghai City and him. It seems that the Li family is awaiting him here. (To be continued.
