Reborn as a Noble's Son

Shen Yanshuo had also seen it clearly at this moment, given the Li family’s usual style, the candidate for the game would definitely not be his turn. Rather than getting this position and then going to the National People’s Congress or the CPPCC for a consolation job, he might as well make a gamble at this moment. This is Shen Yanshuo’s current mindset.

While the Li family provided some help to get him where he is today, those are only relative, he also cultivated successors for the Li family in this position. It would be difficult to determine who owes who.

Just like the current Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhuang Aiguo, from a certain perspective, Zhuang Aiguo should belong to the Nie system. But, at this moment, does any domestic family really see Zhuang Aiguo as part of the Nie family? Even if the old man of the Nie family is here, when dealing with Zhuang Aiguo, he would probably treat him as an equal, because Zhuang Aiguo already has this level and qualification.

After getting Shen Yanshuo’s work done, Qiao Yiren immediately returned to Liangxi City. On the evening of October 10th, a grand closing ceremony was held at Azalea Square in Liangxi City.

The next day, leaders and staff from the eastern five provinces and the Donggang special zone were departing Liangxi by plane in succession.

At the same time, in the afternoon of the same day, the Jiangbei Provincial Committee held a special standing committee meeting. The meeting decided to dismiss Nie Zhenbang from the positions of member, standing member, and deputy secretary of the Liangxi City Committee, and proposed to the Liangxi City People’s Congress Standing Committee to dismiss Nie Zhenbang from the position of Mayor of Liangxi Municipal People’s Government.

This dismissal document, like a gust of wind, instantly exploded in the Jiangbei officialdom. Many first and second leaders of the cities in the province have their eyes on Liangxi City, and the position of mayor of Liangxi City is something everyone dreams of.

Then, several appointment and dismissal documents quickly calmed down the officialdom of Jiangbei. The provincial committee decided that Zhu Zhuozhen, deputy secretary of the Liangxi City Committee, was nominated as deputy mayor and acting mayor. Huang Jiang, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Political and Legal Committee, was appointed as deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, no longer serving as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Executive deputy mayor, Zhao Xintian, nominated as executive deputy mayor. The original mayor of Zisha City, Ning Zhiyuan, was appointed as a member and standing member of the Liangxi City Committee, and nominated as a candidate for deputy mayor. In addition, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee’s Political and Legal Committee was held by Leng Yecheng, deputy secretary of the Jiangzhou City Committee’s Political and Legal Committee.

This series of measures are completely arranged according to Nie Zhenbang’s request, the only difference is that Chen Le did not ascend to the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee in this confrontation. This is inevitable, Chen Le, is the direct responsible person for Li Guohua’s downfall, coupled with Chen Le’s current high-level treatment at the deputy bureau level, with Chen Le’s age and experience, there is room for further advancement, but reasons can be found to stop it. Naturally, it will not be entirely as hoped.

On this side, after the series of decisions of the provincial committee were sent to various cities and provinces, Nie Zhenbang is now packing his things. As for the job arrangements for Yi Jun, Huang Xuyang and others, they are not under the jurisdiction of the provincial committee, this aspect, believe it or not, is not a problem, Fan Changsheng has always been looking at Shen Yanshuo. At this time, it is impossible not to listen to the call.

Nie Zhenbang’s things are few and simple, several books on economics and national public policy. Two sets of changing clothes, this is all Nie Zhenbang’s belongings in the mayor’s office.

Looking at Huang Xuyang, who seemed a little depressed, Nie Zhenbang also laughed: “What’s wrong, Xuyang? Looking at your mood, it seems to be not very good.”

Huang Xuyang’s expression seemed a bit complicated, his mouth moved a few times, and he said in a low voice: “Zhenbang, thank you.”

At this time, Huang Xuyang used the identity of a classmate, and the meaning of his words was also very clear. He was thanking Nie Zhenbang for appointing him as secretary.

Hearing these words, Nie Zhenbang laughed. He put the last book into the suitcase, stood up very freely, walked to Huang Xuyang’s side, patted Huang Xuyang’s shoulder and said: “Xuyang, what are you saying? Don’t think too much. I chose you, of course, there are some classmates’ feelings in it, but the main reason is your own ability. We graduated from the same class, do you think I don’t know your ability? Before, you just didn’t meet a suitable platform to show your talent. Long-term suppression has made you doubt and distrust yourself. I didn’t do anything, all opportunities were won by your own efforts.”

Speaking of this, Nie Zhenbang paused for a moment, and smiled: “Has the Organization Department talked to you yet?”

“Well, I talked this morning. Secretary of the Daji town party committee in Zisha City.” Huang Xuyang nodded and replied.

This position surprised Nie Zhenbang. Fan Changsheng was generous this time, and even raised Huang Xuyang’s level by half, directly becoming the head of the party committee secretary. This will also benefit Huang Xuyang’s future prospects.

Then, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said: “Daji Town, not bad, it’s a good place, close to Guicheng District, this time, Daji Town is within the scope of the demolition and relocation of Liangxi Film City, go to Daji Town, there will definitely be a lot of things, cooperate with investors of the Film City, and do a good job of demolition and resettlement for the local people. Be broad-minded. There will be many jobs and business opportunities in Daji Town. You should have a long-term perspective. You should focus on sustainable development. In the future, if you have any doubts, you can ask Mayor Yi for more advice, or you can go to the city to find comrade Zhiyuan and Xintian. I believe, you will have a meteoric rise.”

After saying these, Nie Zhenbang picked up his suitcase, walked out of the mayor’s office, without much nostalgia. Here today, gone tomorrow is the rule for both soldiers and officials. It’s a joke that he has to leave Liangxi, a prosperous economic area, before his plans have been unfolded, but it’s quite helpless. This is inevitable.

Along the way, numerous office workers came out of the office, stood in the corridor, looked at Nie Zhenbang, and nodded in greeting. Nie Zhenbang’s personal charm has indeed affected these people. In the late night, in most of the lit offices of the municipal government, the presence of Mayor Nie can always be felt.

Downstairs, Yang Qingshan had already waited on the side. As soon as he saw Nie Zhenbang, he hurriedly opened the car door. This would be the last time Yang Qingshan served as Mayor Nie’s personal driver. Afterwards, Yang Qingshan would join the city’s Public Security Bureau, serving as the head of the first brigade of the Public Order Division.

The car drove towards Liangxi Jiangnan Airport. After the airport’s military-to-civilian transition, only two routes were currently open: one from Jingcheng to Liangxi, and the other from Liangxi to the South China Sea.

Nie Zhenbang’s itinerary was to return to Jingcheng for a two-day stopover. He would wait for the Organization Department of the Minnan Provincial Committee to announce his appointment and to carry out the nomination publicity, after which Nie Zhenbang would head to Minnan Province.

By the time they arrived back at Jingcheng City Airport, it was already midday. Yang Anbang and Yang Anna were waiting at the exit as he stepped out of the airport.

Seeing Nie Zhenbang, Yang Anna excitedly waved her hand, behaving as if they hadn’t seen each other in a very long time.

As soon as they got into the car, Yang Anbang, who was driving, said, “You kid, the strategy you played recently scared me into a cold sweat. You really dare to play. You know the Li family well. They are famous for their protective nature. I heard that the old man of the Li family was so angry that he spat blood. The Li family has already declared that they will fight with you to the end.”

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang sneered and calmly said, “Second brother, I feel that as your business grows, your courage seems to shrink. Worrying about everything. So what about the Li family? Spat blood? He might not have much time left to live. Jingcheng, let alone Huaxia, is not ruled by the Li family alone. Fight to the end? Let them come. I, Nie Zhenbang, have never been afraid of anything since I stepped into this circle at the age of sixteen.”

These remarks were incredibly domineering. Anna, who was almost a mother now, clapped her hands excitedly and said, “Exactly, second brother, you like to boost others’ ambitions and undermine our morale. That Li Guohua is not a good person, he deserves it. If anyone wants to mess with big brother Zhenbang, they should see if we agree.”

Yang Anbang smiled bitterly at this moment. It was indeed rare to encounter such a wonderful sister and brother-in-law. If it weren’t for the remaining influence of the Nie family, and the ambiguous attitude of the Yang and Dong families, followed by President Yuan’s suppression, and Vice Chairman Shen’s attendance at the Liangxi forum opening, which caused the Li family great concern, could it really have been so easy?

Immediately, Yang Anbang laughed, “Alright, alright, I can’t reason with you two. Zhenbang, this time when we return, father wants to see you.”

…

The original Jingcheng Municipal Committee’s family residential area in Dongcheng district of Jingcheng.

When Yang Shengli served as the Executive Deputy Mayor of Jingcheng, he also had a house here. Since Yang Shengli’s wife has always been working in Jingcheng, this house was preserved.

At this moment, Yang Shengli sat in the study of this four-bedroom flat, looking at Nie Zhenbang who was sitting across from him.

Compared to their first meeting, Yang Shengli looked much older. After all, he was already 52, approaching 53.

There was a silent pause between the father and son-in-law. After a while, seeing no intention of his father-in-law to speak, Nie Zhenbang had to brace himself and asked, “Dad, did you want to see me?”

Hearing this, Yang Shengli nodded, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, cursing in his heart, “Little punk, I thought you were going to keep your mouth shut.”

Then, he said solemnly, “I heard that you are to take up a position in WangHai. Did you discuss this matter with your uncle?”

Within the Nie family, Nie Guowei was always overlooked by the aristocratic families of Jingcheng. Having such a father, Nie Zhenbang didn’t know whether he should feel fortunate or lament. As for the Li family affair, Yang Shengli didn’t mention it again. The incident was over, at most, they were political opponents. Anything else? Given Yang Shengli’s status, it was not something he would care about. If there was a fight, the Yang family wouldn’t sit idly by and watch their son-in-law being bullied. The Yang family, with four brothers in the family, was no pushover.

“I’ve discussed it briefly. As you know the situation in our family, my uncle is now focusing on ideological education work in the military. I can make decisions about my own matters,” Nie Zhenbang replied respectfully.

A glint of appreciation flickered in Yang Shengli’s eyes. Nie Guodong played this hand beautifully. At the time of the power transition, he would likely have a seat. This strategy was likely devised by this young man. Yang Shengli knew better than anyone the capabilities of the Nie brothers.

However, thinking of WangHai, Yang Shengli’s brows furrowed. He said solemnly, “Zhenbang, after this New Year, I expect to be transferred back to Jingcheng to serve as the Party Secretary. This time, the situation in WangHai might not be as simple as you think.” (.)
