Reborn as a Noble's Son

Chapter 338: Chapter 329 – Organizational Conversation_1

The tone and manner in which Zhuang Aiguo spoke made Nie Zhenbang feel quite comfortable. Standing in the grand office of the country’s fifth highest executive, Nie Zhenbang didn’t feel too constrained. On the contrary, it was extremely refreshing. This was the kind of finesse that Nie Zhenbang needed to learn.

Immediately following, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said: “Secretary Zhuang, I’ve made up my mind.”

Seeing Nie Zhenbang’s assertiveness, Zhuang Aiguo also laughed and gestured for Nie Zhenbang to sit down, slowly saying, “Please, sit down. Judging by your confident demeanour, why don’t you go ahead and express your thoughts?”

Nie Zhenbang was well aware that a man like Zhuang Aiguo, a genuine party and national leader juggling countless tasks daily, couldn’t be expected to converse for several hours as he might with an ordinary cadre. Immediately following, Nie Zhenbang also nodded and said: “Secretary Zhuang, I went home yesterday and I’ve chosen two candidates. One is Chen Le, the Standing Committee of the Xinli City Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Bazhou City in the Xibei Autonomous Region. I’m hoping if it’s possible to assign him as the head of the Public Security Bureau in Liangxi City. The other one is Yi Jun, the Secretary-General of the Xinli City Government. If feasible, I would like Yi Jun to serve as my secretary. In terms of official position, he will be assigned as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Liangxi Municipal People’s Government. What do you think…?”

Listenting to Nie Zhenbang’s words, Zhuang Aiguo seemed quite satisfied and nodded approvingly. The selection and arrangement of these two candidates was cleverly and appropriately done, particularly the grasping of the Public Security Bureau, would be a solid asset in Nie Zhenbang’s hands. Law enforcement bodies, especially these volatile ones, could indeed deter many hooligans. For Nie Zhenbang’s election, it would be a great boost. The other candidate, the choice of secretary was also skillfully made. Yi Jun had been Nie Zhenbang’s secretary for a long time, and he was trusted and easy to work with. More importantly, Yi Jun’s rank was also higher. After some time in Liangxi City, waiting for Nie Zhenbang to settle down and Yi Jun to familiarise himself with the city government’s situation, Yi Jun would certainly be the prime choice for the steward of the city government.

These two positions, internally and externally compliment each other, and they can be considered as mutually beneficial. They are capable of maintaining firepower and stability in the city government. This would be of significant aid in securing Nie Zhenbang’s position. Immediately following, Zhuang Aiguo also nodded and said: “One is the head of the Public Security Bureau, the other is the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government. These positions aren’t too high-ranking. And also, both of them involve lateral transfers, hence operating them shouldn’t pose any difficulties. I’ve made a note of this. Go home now and keep your phone line open to wait for a call from the Central Organization Department.”

After leaving Zhuang Aiguo’s office, Nie Zhenbang returned home. At this point, Dong Wan and Yang Anna had already left Jingcheng to rush to Liangxi City. These two girls really were swift in action, they had already set out even before the formal organization had begun their discussion.

Upon entering his house, he saw Li Lixue carrying a bunch of bed sheets from the room. Seeing this, Nie Zhenbang immediately rushed forward, grabbed the bed sheets from Li Lixue’s hands and reproached her: “Li Xue, what are you doing? You could have simply just called a service attendant to help you. You’re pregnant now, you must be more careful!”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Li Lixue also smiled and replied: “Aren’t you exaggerating a bit? It’s only been over a month, and as per the doctors, unless there are any special circumstances, it’s good to be more active for the baby’s sake. Also, it’s not good to let the service staff wash our personal linen. Nevertheless, it’s our washing machine, it’s not tiring to wash them ourselves.”

After a pause, the happiness on Li Lixue’s face was uncontained as she teased, “Who is being overly precious here? I came from the countryside. Back in the day, didn’t I make it here by myself from the international line?”

Hearing Li Lixue reminiscing about this, Nie Zhenbang’s mind flashed with an image of a stubborn girl, standing on a station platform alone, selling small commodities on a wooden panel. Softly, Nie Zhenbang held Li Lixue in his arms and whispered: “Li Xue, I’m sorry I couldn’t give you and our child a complete home.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Lixue’s fingers were pressed against Nie Zhenbang’s mouth. Standing in front of Nie Zhenbang, Li Lixue, who was over one meter and seventy centimeters tall, did not seem short at all. Her eyes were somewhat blurry and emotional as she whispered: “Zhenbang, don’t say anymore. Being with you is the greatest happiness of my life.” Saying this, Li Lixue looked up, her eyes somewhat lost and affectionately murmuring, “Honey, I want…”

Nie Zhenbang was somewhat worried as he replied: “Li Xue, the baby…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Lixue’s red lips were already pressed against his. In that moment, passion ran wild.

After resting for the afternoon, at around eight p.m., Nie Zhenbang suddenly received a phone call from the Central Organization Department, instructing him to report to their office at 8:30 a.m. the next day.

No words were exchanged throughout the night. Nie Zhenbang had read many books recently on caring for pregnant women, and he knew that a moderate lifestyle was necessary. As long as there was no excessive frequency and intensity, everything would be fine. There was no repeat of their afternoon activities that evening. They just embraced calmly, and the next morning, before six o’clock, Nie Zhenbang was up.

Upon returning to Jingcheng, Nie Zhenbang’s life fell back into a regular pattern. After waking up, he practiced a set of Shape-Intent Fist in the gym, which left him feeling quite refreshed and somewhat sweaty. After taking a bath, Nie Zhenbang promptly headed to the kitchen. Recently, Li Lixue had mild signs of pregnancy and her appetite was not so good. On the food front, Nie Zhenbang naturally made sure to cover all bases.

The breakfast was exquisite and not in large quantities, but varied in styles, allowing Li Lixue to pick what she liked.

After breakfast, Nie Zhenbang made a phone call and had Li Lixue’s secretary come to accompany her before he comfortably whisked away to the Central Organization Department.

The Central Organization Department’s office building’s seventh floor houses the Cadre Management Directorate, a newly established department in charge of managing the sub-ministerial level cadres from various ministries and commissions in Jingcheng. Currently, Nie Zhenbang belongs to the Central Disciplinary Inspection Commission and is scheduled for a sub-ministerial level position. Thus he had to come here.

Nie Zhenbang directly headed to the director’s office, knocked on the door, and a voice from inside invited him to enter. He stepped into the room with a smile and said, “Hello. You must be Director Zhao. I am Nie Zhenbang. We talked over the phone last night.

Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, the middle-aged man sitting in the office chair rose to his feet. Director Zhao himself was only at the departmental level and in his forties. Nie Zhenbang, on the other hand, was about to hold a departmental-level position at the age of twenty-seven. In the past, there was a deputy department-level leader who was also twenty-seven, but his position was non-party and non-governmental, and he was in a remote western region, so his situation was completely different from Nie Zhenbang’s. This caused Director Zhao to be extremely courteous. He quickly extended his hand, shook hands enthusiastically, and then said, “Director Nie, it’s an honor to meet you. Just now, Deputy Minister Cao called and instructed me to guide you directly to him once you arrived. I will take you there now.” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Nie Zhenbang was a bit surprised at the moment. He had not expected that his organizational discussion would be personally hosted by a minister. This is remarkable.

Deputy Minister Cao’s office is on the ninth floor. With Director Zhao leading the way, Nie Zhenbang directly reached the office. Director Zhao knocked on the door, pushed it open, and introduced Nie to Deputy Minister Cao: “Minister Cao, Comrade Nie Zhenbang from the Central Disciplinary Inspection Commission is here.”

As he walked into the office, Nie Zhenbang took stock of Deputy Minister Cao: a man in his mid-fifties, with a rigid and serious expression.

Indicating for Nie Zhenbang to sit down, Deputy Minister Cao got straight to the point, saying slowly, “Comrade Nie Zhenbang, we have asked you here today, as mandated by our superiors, to have a discussion with you. We hope that you will not feel apprehensive or nervous. This is merely a standard discussion.”

After a pause, Deputy Minister Cao continued, “Comrade Nie Zhenbang, the organization is quite satisfied with your work in Xinli City and the Central Disciplinary Inspection Commission. You have strong foresight. Xinli City has seen four consecutive years of rapid economic development; this foundation was laid by you. In the two years you’ve worked in the Central Disciplinary Inspection Commission, although there haven’t been any spectacular cases, your theories and initiatives have been very valuable in the fight against corruption.”

The entire talk was full of praise and commendation, which was almost a routine in every organizational discussion. After all, when promoting an official, it is natural to first state the reasons for the promotion, and their political achievements are the best reasons.

At this moment, after Deputy Minister Cao finished speaking, Nie Zhenbang displayed a humble attitude and said with a low voice, “I want to thank the organization for its recognition and praise. Although I’ve achieved something, I still need to continue working hard. In my future work, please be assured, Deputy Minister Cao. Please be assured, organization. I will earnestly study and implement the spirit of President Yuan’s speech. I will work hard and strive to reach new heights.”

At this point, Deputy Minister Cao nodded in satisfaction. Regardless of whether his words were sincere, at least his attitude deserved recognition. After a pause, Deputy Minister Cao spoke again, “Hmm, your attitude and thoughts are good. Party members and officials, especially those in leadership positions, need to have this mindset: they must guard against arrogance and rashness. Currently, the Party and the country are advocating for younger cadres and the rotation of officials. To respond to the Party’s call, the Central Organization Department has decided to select a group of younger, educated, and capable cadres from various ministries in Jingcheng for grassroot positions. You graduated from the Chinese department of Jingcheng University and you’re a master’s student in economics. Your abilities in various areas are excellent. This time, the organization has also considered you as a candidate. We are planning to transfer you. What do you think about this?”

At this point, if Nie Zhenbang still didn’t know what to say, then he had wasted his six to seven years working within the system. Immediately, Nie Zhenbang responded solemnly, “Deputy Minister Cao, I have no objections. As an individual, I firmly obey the arrangements of the organization. Comrade Lei Feng said that ‘I am just a screw, wherever the Party needs me, I will be there.’ I have no demands of my own.” (to be continued.
