Reborn as a Noble's Son

After setting the time with Gao Wei, Gao Wei had just left for less than a minute when a voice came from behind: “Mayor, Mayor Nie, I finally found you.”

The voice, out of breath and panting, made Nie Zhenbang turn his head to see a man around forty-five years old. His hair was neatly parted to one side, meticulously groomed. His white shirt was accompanied by a red tie, black leather shoes were polished to a high gloss. He was indeed a person who cared about his appearance and comportment.

Seeing Nie Zhenbang looking somewhat puzzled, the man smiled and said, “Mayor Nie, let me introduce myself, I am the Secretary General of the Municipal Government, An Guoyu. Mayor Nie, regarding your accommodation, your house is still being renovated. In the meantime, I have temporarily arranged for you to stay at the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse. Shall I show you the place?.”

The Wanghai Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse is located diagonally across from the Wanghai Hotel, a distance of less than 500 meters. It’s just opposite the City Party Committee and the City Government.

Nie Zhenbang’s room was arranged on the third floor of the Hong Yan Lou in the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse. As soon as he entered the main entrance of the guesthouse, a woman in her thirties came forward: “Hello Mayor Nie, I am Ma Fei, Deputy Director of the Reception Department of the Municipal Party Committee.”

Ma Fei was probably between 165 cm and 168 cm tall. For a woman to have such a height was already considered tall. Furthermore, Ma Fei had an excellent figure and her splendid bosom was quite grand. She had fair skin and her facial features were rather delicate. Overall, Ma Fei was considered a very attractive woman.

It was not easy for a female cadre within the system to do well, especially for those like Ma Fei who could be called upon to serve the leaders at any time. However, judging from the way that Ma Fei was now, this woman was not a simple character.

At this point, Secretary General of the Municipal Government, An Guoyu, also came up and nodded with a smile: “Director Ma, Mayor’s accommodation arrangement is being handed over to you. Make sure that Mayor Nie has no worries about his work.”

Secretary An, you’re speaking as if I hadn’t done a good job of serving the leaders in the past. Don’t worry, I will arrange everything perfectly for Mayor Nie.” At this point, Ma Fei shot An Guoyu a look which emanated a poise, causing an unanticipated jolt in Nie Zhenbang’s heart.

Following Ma Fei directly to the third floor, a twenty-year-old waitress came over at this time. To be chosen to work at the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse, especially in a place like Hong Yan Lou which is dedicated to serving the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, whether it was her figure or her appearance, she was considered a top pick.

At this moment, Ma Fei smiled and said, “Bai, this is our newly appointed Mayor Nie, who will be temporarily living in suite 302. During the time Mayor Nie is here, you will be in charge of arranging for his daily needs.”

The young girl looked a little shy and innocent. After seeing Nie Zhenbang, she was surprised. She had never seen such a young mayor before.

Looking around the suite, it had one bedroom, a living room and a bathroom. The room had a moderate design style, after all, suites like these for public figures, none of the leaders would stay in for a very long time. It was not appropriate to have too much personalization in the interior design.

The furniture was made of black walnut, the walls were snow-white, and the bedroom was furnished with a large bed, a wardrobe, and a desk. Outside was a sitting room, complete with a completely traditional black leather couch. There was a large vase made of cloisonne standing in a corner.

Walking into the bedroom, the young girl’s face also turned a little pink: “Mayor, this is a bathtub with a massage function.”

These words felt a bit ambiguous, Nie Zhenbang noticed this as well. He responded indifferently, “Comrade Bai, where is the dining area? Will there be late-night snacks served here at night?”

At this moment, Ma Fei walked in from outside the door, smiling and saying, “Mayor, rest assured, We have staff members from Hong Yan Lou who take turns on a 24-hour duty cycle. They will be available to serve you at any time.”

This statement was yet another one that could be misinterpreted. Ma Fei, this woman, was too beguiling, exuding a light fragrance from her body, a seductive aroma.

Seeing that Nie Zhenbang did not seem to show much interest and his words and actions were quite serious, after a few words, Ma Fei left with Bai.

“Wenna, you must seize this opportunity. Your auntie has gone to great lengths to bring you into the small reception of the Municipal Party Committee. Whether you can secure a position here depends on your performance. Mayor Nie is a young man in the prime of life.” As soon as she left Nie Zhenbang’s room, Ma Fei whispered to the waitress Bai Wenna next to her.

The young girl gritted her teeth, appearing to struggle for a moment. After a long pause, she nodded, “Auntie, I will work hard.”

At this moment, however, Nie Zhenbang was unaware that he had just been calculated by two women on his first day in Wanghai City.

In his bedroom, Nie Zhenbang went straight to sleep, a capability he had honed during his years in the Xibei Military Region.

Over time, he had developed an instinct to sleep whenever he was bored – a great way to pass the time.

The situation in Wanghai City could only be described as unfathomable. Although he remembered the Eastern Sea Group, what he had seen and heard were only superficial. With his mindset at the time, it was unlikely that he would take the time to seriously study these aspects.

Now, he could only claim that compared to others, he could quickly find some breakthroughs. As for other aspects, they were of no help. It was unlikely he’d figure out his mission so soon after arriving, so instead of daydreaming, it was better to have a good sleep.

By around seven o’clock, Nie Zhenbang woke up, dressed neatly, and after freshening up, he left his room.

At this moment, the service staff at the door had changed. Seeing Nie Zhenbang come out, the service staff immediately came to greet him and whispered, “Mayor Nie, would you like to have a meal?”

“No, I just woke up and I’m not really hungry. I’ll just go for a walk. No need to arrange any security. Also, don’t notify Deputy Director Ma.” Nie Zhenbang waved his hand indifferently and walked out of the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse.

The streets of Wanghai City were clean and distinctive. WangHai was considered one of the top spots among seaside tourist cities.

The streets were lined with trees bearing the breath of the subtropics, and there was a faint smell of seawater in the air. It gave Nie Zhenbang a whole new feeling.

The safety environment in Wanghai was quite good, and the city’s construction and development were also admirable. However, Nie Zhenbang was clear that this prosperity was built on the substantial profits generated by the Eastern Sea Group. The gradual recovery of Wanghai City after several years of adjustment following the collapse of the Eastern Sea Group in his previous life said it all.

At around eight o’clock, Nie Zhenbang’s phone rang with a local Wanghai call. Without a second thought, it was surely Gao Wei. As soon as he picked up, Gao Wei’s voice came over, “Third Brother, the location is set. It’s Glasses Seafood Stall, one of the most famous seafood stalls in Wanghai.”

As the lanterns began to light up and the charms of the Wanghai night scene unfolded, he hailed a taxi and headed straight to Glasses Seafood Stall. He saw Gao Wei and Nie Jiamin waiting by the roadside.

Nie Zhenbang had never been a big fan of seafood, and let Gao Wei order. He simply requested a serving of stir-fried pipis and scallops and sat on the side.

Fresh draft beer was brought over. Now, on his first day in office, it wouldn’t attract too much attention. This was the most relaxing time. Once his exposure on Wanghai Television starts increasing, opportunities like this would be hard to come by.

“Third brother, I’ve heard about your incident. One word, awesome! I’ve long been annoyed with Li Guohua. Now that he has lost his reputation, he’s lost face to stay in the system. As for that crap place Liangxi, it’s not worth us going there. It’s also good here in Wanghai. If the three of us brothers put our heads together, what are we afraid of?” Nie Jiamin gulped his beer and disdainfully talked.

Next to him, Gao Wei was smiling. He took out a pack of special cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to each, and asked with a smile, “That old man, Shi Yiwu, has become a Local Emperor in Wanghai. He comes and goes in a Bentley. Isn’t he afraid of his ass getting burnt? Third Brother, how did you let Shi Yiwu get away with being so arrogant today?”

Nie Zhenbang smiled faintly. Most people grow through setbacks. The saying goes, “Let one setback make you wiser.” If he wasn’t growing at this point, how could he have achieved what he has?

Nothing could be done about Shi Yiwu, that was for certain. At least for now, no drastic actions could be taken against the Eastern Sea Group which had broad implications and involved many officials. Any slight mistake could potentially break the chain of clues and yield no results. This was, of course, unacceptable.

With a faint smile, Nie Zhenbang did not answer Gao Wei’s words, but appeared a bit enigmatic. Just then, the sound of loud engines echoed down the spacious street.

Immediately afterward, intense braking sounds rang out at the street corner as two sports cars, one red and one yellow, charged out from around a corner, followed by a police motorcycle.
