Chapter 902 -858: Company Staffing

The headquarters of Huaxia Group wasn’t situated in Jingcheng, but in Ganzhou City, the capital of Northwestern Ganzhou Province. This decision was made from two considerations, on one hand, among the three major satellite launch bases in China, one is located within Ganzhou Province, and this launch base is responsible for significant missions such as manned spaceflight projects. As an important auxiliary part of Huaxia Group, the Ganzhou Satellite Launch Center, although not listed under Huaxia Group, placing the company here was undoubtedly very appropriate.

Moreover, two of the most important military factories under Huaxia Group were also located here, one being the People’s Liberation Army Airborne Equipment Manufacturing Factory and the other being the Ganzhou Automotive Machinery Factory.

From the outside, these two factories seemed to be nothing more than inconsequential small enterprises, but in fact, the former was a well-known aircraft manufacturing company in the military, and the latter was a key enterprise for tanks, armoured vehicles, and military vehicles in the country. With this in mind, it was quite natural for Huaxia Group’s headquarters to be based here.

Additionally, considering the development and planning of Huaxia Group, this time, the state had granted Nie Zhenbang very generous policies. From the military’s perspective, although Nie Zhenbang didn’t have command, mobilization, or training authority in the Xibei Military Region, his inclusion on the Xibei Military Region Party Committee enabled him to effectively coordinate the synergistic relationship between the Group and the military region.

Moreover, in his capacity as the Chairman of Huaxia Group, Nie Zhenbang was included as a member of the Ganzhou Provincial Committee. This was another precedent. Although he wasn’t on the Standing Committee, as the leader of a central enterprise of ministerial rank and also a member of the Xibei Military Region Party Committee, he would most likely not be taken lightly by the entire Ganzhou Provincial Committee team, whether he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Ganzhou Provincial Committee or not.

After a series of exchanges with Director Shen, the preliminary framework for Huaxia Group had also been established. Due to the nature of the Huaxia Group’s business, this allowed for greater flexibility. The entire senior management of the Group was completely dominated by Nie Zhenbang. Apart from the heads of various factories and research institutes under Huaxia Group, who were automatically included in the management layer of Huaxia Group, all other department components were to be appointed by Nie Zhenbang alone. This delegation of power ensured Nie Zhenbang an absolute position within Huaxia Group, which reflected the strong support he had from above.

Jiangbei Province, Jiangzhou Airport.

The flight from Jingcheng to Jiangzhou had just landed smoothly, and Nie Zhenbang, along with his escort Wu Li, had already appeared outside Jiangzhou Airport.

Unlike when he worked for the government, Nie Zhenbang now looked more like a businessman, dressed in a simple casual shirt with short sleeves and sporting a pair of toad sunglasses—a spitting image of a boss.

“Little Wu, call a taxi, we’re going to Liangxi City,” Nie Zhenbang instructed Wu Li next to him.

Nie Zhenbang hadn’t managed to buy a ticket to fly directly to Liangxi City from Jingcheng. Not wishing to trouble others over such a minor issue, he, of course, had to choose to fly to Jiangzhou first.

From Jiangzhou to Liangxi was only a bit more than an hour’s drive. By a little after three in the afternoon, their car had already entered the urban area of Liangxi City.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang took out his phone and dialed Chen Le’s number. After a few rings, Chen Le’s voice came from the other end, “Hello!”

Chen Le was the first person Nie Zhenbang had chosen for the establishment of Huaxia Group. The reason for choosing Chen Le was after careful consideration.

Nie Zhenbang was very familiar with Chen Le’s character, a person with a background in the field of public security, who had his own convictions and principles, was loyal to the country and the people, and importantly, Chen Le wasn’t rigid. He understood how to gauge the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caused such a big stir with Nie Zhenbang back in Lixian.

Afterward, when Chen Le was transferred to Liangxi City and joined him in taking the risk of being completely suppressed to overturn Li Guohua, it also proved Chen Le’s attitude towards Nie Zhenbang.

With the formation of Huaxia Group, Chen Le was doubtlessly a fitting candidate, whether to lead an operations team or to take charge of the Group’s internal security department; he would easily adapt to the role.

Over the years, Chen Le had been working in Liangxi City. Although he has now become the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Liangxi City, all things considered, he was somewhat being restrained. Being transferred to Nie Zhenbang’s side would also be a form of compensation.

At this point, Nie Zhenbang intentionally disguised his voice and said, “Director Chen, do you have time today? In the evening, I would like to invite you to dinner?”

As soon as his voice fell, on the other side, Chen Le’s voice immediately became serious, “Who are you? I’m telling you, I don’t care which group you are from, I, Chen Le, will not entertain your tactics. Don’t use these tricks in front of me.”

Chen Le’s words pleased Nie Zhenbang greatly. After several years, Chen Le remained the same, which greatly relieved Nie Zhenbang. Then, smiling, he said, “Chen Le, it’s me. I have arrived in Liangxi now. Let’s meet up for a gathering tonight.”

By then, Chen Le had also recognized who it was. Unable to conceal his joy, his voice tinged with excitement, “Mayor? You’ve come to Liangxi, great, great. I’ll arrange a place right away.”

…

At the Jin Ding International Hotel in Liangxi City, this venue once overturned Li Guohua. However, Jin Ding remained, as ever, one of the high-end establishments in Liangxi City.

Now, in a private room on the second floor of the dining section of Jin Ding, Chen Le appeared very happy. Seeing Nie Zhenbang walk in from the door, he immediately went up to meet him.

However, Chen Le suddenly hesitated when considering Nie Zhenbang’s identity. This pause did not escape Nie Zhenbang’s notice. Chen Le’s behavior pleased him even more. First, Nie Zhenbang’s own arrival did not lead Chen Le to invite Yi Jun, Ning Zhiyuan, and the others, indicating that Chen Le was someone who could keep his composure. Now, seeing an old friend, old leader, and old boss, he had the urge to get close but could still control himself, showing that Chen Le was still rational. His mindset had not vulgarized with the passage of time.

Nie Zhenbang, seeing Chen Le’s expression, took the initiative to go forward and embrace him, smiling, “Director Chen, it’s been a few years, and you seem to have gotten older. Work is important, but you have to take care of your health, too. Health is the capital of revolution, after all.”

Nie Zhenbang’s intimate words flashed a touch of emotion across Chen Le’s face. Although his career had been stagnant in recent years, he harbored no resentment towards Nie Zhenbang. Everything he had was brought by Nie Zhenbang. Otherwise, he might still be stuck in Lixian as a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. Now, having reached the Standing Committee of the Liangxi City Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Chen Le had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

With a sheepish laugh, Chen Le waved his hand, “Old Leader, don’t you understand me by now? I can never sit still; I’m destined to be a hard worker. During the recent seismic event in Wenshu, I led a team there. I intended to visit you, but considering how busy you were, I came straight back.”

Nie Zhenbang chuckled, “Oh you, Chen Le, going to Bashu and not coming to see me. Later, you should drink three glasses as a penalty.”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Chen Le also laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and gestured for the waiter to serve the dishes. Chen Le also opened a bottle of liquor—not any particularly high-end baijiu, just the commonly seen Feitian, which costs a little over a thousand per bottle—affordable for Chen Le.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Observing Chen Le, Nie Zhenbang could clearly sense that Chen Le was not entirely satisfied with his days in Liangxi. Consequently, Nie Zhenbang, smiling, said, “Old Chen, I actually came here this time specifically for you. I’m about to make a job move, leaving Bashu for a new position. How about it? Are you interested in working with me?”

The moment these words were spoken, Chen Le had already lifted his head to look at Nie Zhenbang, saying resolutely without any hesitation, “Old Leader, is this true? I’d be more than happy to go.”

Seeing Chen Le’s reaction, Nie Zhenbang was not in a hurry, but smiled and said, “Old Chen, having reached middle age, you’re still not calm. This isn’t like you, are you not concerned about what the job is, what unit it is?”

As he spoke, without waiting for Chen Le to ask, Nie Zhenbang continued with a serene smile, “This time, I’ll be transferring to a newly established company, Huaxia Group, a ministerial-level entity, to assume the position of Chairman. If I transfer you over, I plan for you to take charge of the Group’s security department as the manager.”

This statement completely stunned Chen Le. It wasn’t a government post but a corporate one. This jump was too much to handle. If it were a government department, going there—even if it only meant a half-grade promotion—becoming the director of the Public Security Department was not out of the question. But now, as a manager of the group’s security department? Chen Le couldn’t help but ponder deeply.

As someone from within the system, Chen Le was clear about the difference between corporations and government departments. Moving into a corporation, escaping that circle later would likely be difficult. In today’s society, with every position closely matched to a candidate, Chen Le fell silent.

Nie Zhenbang had been watching Chen Le all this while. The shifts in Chen Le’s expressions were all noted by Nie Zhenbang. It was normal for Chen Le to have a hesitation, and just when he was ready to speak, Chen Le suddenly looked up, resolute, and said to Nie Zhenbang, “Mayor, back in Lixian, I said I would do as you say. Now, my words still stand. I’ll follow you to the corporation.”
