Chapter 695: Chapter 651 Staff Appointments and Dismissals_1

Near midnight, Nie Zhenbang’s official car exited the Minwang Expressway, Minzhou toll booth.

At this moment, Li Jupeng glanced back, Mayor Nie had already fallen asleep. Checking his wristwatch, it was already past midnight. Immediately, Li Jupeng turned his head and spoke to Guo Sanbao beside him, “Brother Bao, let’s head to the Minnan hotel. At this late hour, I’m guessing Secretary Qiao has probably already gone to rest. Let’s find a couple of rooms to rest first.”

Ever since getting in the car, Li Jupeng had been extremely excited. His unyielding spirit had gained Mayor Nie’s approval. Consequently, he agreed to take him along for the ride. Li Jupeng saw this very clearly, and this was the cause of his excitement. From a personal standpoint, at his level, if he were to be demoted, he may hold a deputy position in a district in Wanghai City at most. His ranking won’t exceed the level of a division head.

Yet, accompanying the Mayor, as the Mayor’s status rises, so will his own. Mayor Nie’s rapid career advancement is evident to all. Hence, Li Jupeng aimed to keep in step with Mayor Nie’s progress closely.

From a lofty standpoint, Li Jupeng aspired to make a difference serving alongside Mayor Nie. However, considering his experience and abilities, they were still insufficient. Being able to serve with Mayor Nie, being part of the team, was also a great fortune.

As the car was about to arrive at the entrance of Minnan hotel, Li Jupeng turned to Nie Zhenbang and called out, “Mayor, Mayor, we’ve reached the Minnan hotel.”

...

Nie Zhenbang’s former military discipline allowed him to wake up quickly. He glanced outside the car and nodded, “Find a place to stay for now.”

The night passed without a word.

The next morning, Nie Zhenbang got up around 6:00 and after practicing a set of Shape-Intent Fist exercises, it was just past 7:10.

Outside the door, the doorbell rang. He opened the door to find Li Jupeng and Guo Sanbao standing at the doorway. Nie Zhenbang then smiled and said, “Let’s go for breakfast.”

Around 7:50, Nie Zhenbang was already at the doorstep of the Provincial Committee Office Building. He picked up his phone and dialed Liang Yuan’s number. Once connected, Nie Zhenbang cordially asked, “Brother Liang, are you busy?”

Rank-wise, Nie Zhenbang was at the deputy-ministerial level and Liang Yuan was no more than a division head. There was a considerable difference in their levels. However, as Provincial Committee Secretary General, Qiao Yiren was backing Liang Yuan. Not just Nie Zhenbang, even Governor Li Jianghe tended to be polite to Liang Yuan most of the time.

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s voice, Liang Yuan didn’t dare to be presumptuous. He chuckled, “Zhenbang, you’re in the provincial capital?”

At this juncture, whether it was Wanghai City or Minnan Province. Even at the central level, this was a year marked by frequent personnel movements. Liang Yuan could guess at this point. It was only a matter of time before Nie Zhenbang made his way to the provincial capital.

Nie Zhenbang chuckled, “Brother Liang, you’re indeed worthy of being the provincial committee secretary general. Your political instincts are truly extraordinary. Brother Liang, does Secretary Qiao have some time this morning?”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Liang Yuan didn’t mince his words. He was well aware of the relationship between Nie Zhenbang and Secretary Qiao. This was no ordinary official. He replied promptly, “This morning, around ten, the Secretary will attend a trade negotiation meeting with Minan’s overseas businessmen. In the afternoon, the Secretary is due to inspect and provide guidance in Puzhou City. He does have some free time now. You can come over now.”

At eight o’clock, just when the day began, no sooner had Qiao Yiren walked into his office than he saw Nie Zhenbang, who was already waiting inside, standing up.

“Secretary Qiao!”

Upon seeing Nie Zhenbang, Qiao Yiren showed no surprise. This time, the arrangement for Nie Zhenbang’s position was initially at Qiao Yiren’s request to Comrade Jia Minfu. The central government’s decision was something Qiao Yiren was already completely aware of.

He then smiled, “You’ve arrived, Zhenbang. Sit, please.”

As he said this, Qiao Yiren undid his coat, hung it in the coat closet, and took a seat at his desk. At this point, Liang Yuan served a cup of hot, fresh tea to Nie Zhenbang. Qiao Yiren finally said with a smile: “Zhenbang, it seems you’ve already received the news from the Central Organization Department, haven’t you?”

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang also nodded and said, “The night before last, Minister Shi gave me a call and briefly mentioned it. Secretary Qiao, the main focus of my visit this time is regarding some personnel arrangements and adjustments in Wanghai City, for which I would like to seek your advice.”

Nie Zhenbang had made the decision to visit yesterday for a reason not based on mere speculation. It seemed to be just a normal report. But within this, Nie Zhenbang had made a carefully considered decision.

Based on the memories of his past life, Secretary Qiao would also be transferred this time. However, at this time, there are still no news reaching Wanghai, let alone the entire Minan Province. But Nie Zhenbang has caught this point.

Qiao Yiren himself definitely knows he will be transferred from Minan. In that case, the personnel arrangements Nie Zhenbang made for Wanghai City would certainly not be refuted by Qiao Yiren. On the contrary, he would even make every effort to make it happen, which is why Nie Zhenbang dared to take all the positions in Wanghai City.

Looking at Nie Zhenbang’s expression, Qiao Yiren shifted his body a bit and said with a smile, “Then go ahead and share.”

Then, Nie Zhenbang recount in detail some arrangements he made at home last night. After that, he summarized, “Secretary Qiao, the current situation in Wanghai City has not been easy to come by. In my personal opinion, in order to maintain and continue this momentum and ensure a smooth transition of the city’s leadership team, this is very necessary. What do you think…?”

Listening to Nie Zhenbang, Qiao Yiren was also deep in thought at this moment. From what he understood from Nie Zhenbang’s report, if such adjustments were made, the entire Wanghai City would indeed be under Nie Zhenbang’s control. This would certainly have a substantial protective effect on the policy continuity in Wanghai city’s future.

As for the two centrally managed officials, Nie Zhenbang definitely didn’t do this without thinking. Such a position entrusted to Nie Zhenbang, certainly, the central government would give Nie Zhenbang enough face and support. As for other positions, it may look and sound shocking. The primary positions of the Wanghai Municipal Committee have been occupied by Nie Zhenbang’s people. However, in fact, it is not difficult to implement. The people that Nie Zhenbang chose were all at the bureau level. It was merely rearrangement of positions, which is very normal.

About this matter, Qiao Yiren also doesn’t want to anger Nie Zhenbang. Nie Zhenbang was brought along from Liangxi City by him. Firstly, the Yuhai Case put Nie Zhenbang into a tough spot, and now, Nie Zhenbang is leaving Wanghai City to become the director of the workgroup. You can say this was also orchestrated by him. Therefore, it’s only right that he should arrange this last step.

At this thought, Qiao Yiren nodded and said, “Hmm, it’s very thoughtful of you to consider such an adjustment. It’s very good. I think it can be done.”

At this time, Liang Yuan entered the room and said, “Secretary, it’s almost time. At ten o’clock, you are scheduled to attend the Minan Overseas Businessmen Trade Fair. What do you say?”

Nie Zhenbang was already very familiar with this routine. Immediately, Nie Zhenbang got up and said, “Secretary Qiao, you go ahead with your work, I’ll leave now.”

Less than three days after returning from Minzhou, the Central Organization Department released a tentative appointment notice, dismissing Tian Xujian. Minnan Provincial Committee Standing Committee, Secretary, Standing Committee Member, and Department Member positions in Wanghai City Party Committee. He was proposed as a new member, Standing Committee Member, and Deputy Secretary of the Heishui Provincial Party Committee, and nominated as the Deputy Governor and Acting Governor of the Heishui Province People’s Government. Another dismissal and appointment notice released at the same time brought a shock to the entire Wanghai City. Dismissing Nie Zhenbang, as deputy secretary, standing committee member, and committee member of Wanghai City Party Committee, it was also suggested to dismiss Nie Zhenbang, as the Mayor of Wanghai City People’s Government. He was to be transferred to Jingcheng for a different appointment.

The news left Tian Xujian stunned for quite some time. Initially, Tian Xujian was certain that Nie Zhenbang would undoubtedly succeed him in his secretary position when transferred. But unexpectedly, Nie Zhenbang was transferred along with him at the same time.

On Tian Xujian’s end, once the seven-day notice period for his proposed appointment ended and after the Wanghai City Party Committee held a farewell party, Tian Xujian left Wanghai to take up his new post in Heishui Province.

Meanwhile, Shi Jiandong, the Minister of the Central Organization Department, visited Wanghai City and announced the central government’s appointment decisions. Wang Jianhua was appointed as the member, Standing Committee Member, and Secretary of the Wanghaishi Municipal Party Committee, and Li Chaoyang was appointed as the member, Standing Committee Member, Deputy Secretary of the Wanghaishi Municipal Party Committee, and the Deputy Mayor and Acting Mayor of the Wanghai City People’s Government.

In the subsequent Minnan Provincial Committee standing committee meeting, the attitude of Qiao Yiren was resolute. After a vigorous debate, a package of personnel appointment and dismissal resolutions regarding Wanghai City were passed. Basically, things went according to the assumptions and arrangements Nie Zhenbang had made.

At the city government office building in Wanghai City, where the newly appointed city party secretary and acting mayor, along with all new city leaders, were standing at the mayor’s office door.

The door opened and Li Jupeng stood at the door with a briefcase in hand, and Nie Zhenbang walked out. At that moment, under the leadership of Wang Jianhua, all the leaders came forward to meet him.

“Mayor, the city has prepared a banquet at the Wanghai Hotel. They are getting ready to hold a farewell party for you. What do you think…?” The newly appointed city party secretary was still reporting in a low voice just like a subordinate would.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang wore a smile on his face as he looked around at the people. Then, waving his hand, he said, “Old Wang, comrades, there’s no need for formalities. I came to Wanghai City alone and quietly, so let me leave quietly as well. My simultaneous departure with Old Tian will not have a major impact on Wanghai City. On the whole, the central government has given full consideration to our situation in Wanghai City and ensured a smooth transition. I trust that Old Wang and Comrade Chaoyang will work together to build a better Wanghai City. You guys don’t have to send me off. Let Sanbao drop Ju Peng and me off.”(To be continued.
