Chapter 952 -908: Strong Support
“`
The so-called having ideas or not, is merely a courteous phrase used by leaders, and Nie Zhenbang, being a leader himself, deeply understands its intricacies.
From President Qiao’s words, much information could already be inferred: the situation in Hongjiang Province was not good. Nie Zhenbang was not very familiar with Hongjiang Province, but back when he was in Minan, he did have some business dealings with the Hongjiang Provincial Committee. Hongjiang Province is an old revolutionary base and an inland province. These details composed Nie Zhenbang’s preliminary impression of Hongjiang.
However, at this moment, Nie Zhenbang dared not take it lightly. The fact that President Qiao had described Hongjiang as a tangled mess indicated that the situation in the province was somewhat unstable, which was a test for President Qiao.
A comprehensive assessment of the new team’s governance capabilities, crisis response abilities, and overall leadership and rallying power was necessary, so the description Leung Far and Fang Li used, being called to duty in a time of crisis, was not an overstatement.
“What do you think?” Nie Zhebang hadn’t given it much thought, his expression resolute as he looked up and said, “Chief, I’ll follow the organization’s decision. Personally, I have no objections.”
In fact, whether or not someone has ideas in this context is merely redundant, like unbuttoning one’s trousers to fart—a superflous act. Of course, from a leader’s perspective, asking for opinions in this manner can reflect a democratic style of leadership. But from a subordinate’s point of view, it’s meaningless. Imagine if someone took this as an opportunity to tell the leader, “Leader, I have some thoughts. I’ve just started at Huaxia Group, and there is much work yet to be perfected. Additionally, I haven’t had deep interactions with the military district’s personnel. So, do you think I could perhaps continue at Huaxia Group for half a year before discussing further?”
If someone were to really say that, then Nie Zhenbang would be a complete idiot. In such a case, it’s certain that President Qiao wouldn’t say anything. Instead, he might offer some encouragement, but after that, forget about any possibility of moving around.
At this moment, a slight smile appeared on President Qiao’s lips. When it comes down to key moments, it’s his own people he can trust. Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, he was very satisfied. After pondering for a moment, President Qiao spoke up, “Zhenbang, I’m well aware of the purpose and meaning behind Comrade Xiu Chao’s decision to have you build Huaxia Group. I also realize that making this decision is tough for you. But I’m pleased. This shows me that Nie Zhenbang is still the same Nie Zhenbang, unchanged.”
“Do you have any thoughts regarding the personnel arrangements at Huaxia Group?” President Qiao inquired once more.
At this point, it was President Qiao’s way of offering compensation. Nie Zhenbang paused, then responded, “Chief, even if this matter hadn’t come up, I was prepared to discuss it with you. Huaxia Group has just been established and has already faced serious corruption issues. Although actions have been taken, when it comes to several vice president candidates, I feel something is lacking. If I am to be transferred, I personally believe that the current Deputy Governor of Yanbei Province, Comrade Nie Jialei, would be the best choice to succeed me.”
Choosing the worthy without avoiding one’s own relatives is a principle deeply grasped by Nie Zhenbang. Since President Qiao was offering compensation, Nie Zhenbang had no reservations, especially since Nie Jialei was indeed suitable.
As his cousin, Nie Zhenbang was well aware of Nie Jialei’s capabilities in various aspects. He lacked a bit in breadth of vision and stature and might find it challenging to take on the role of a regional lord in the party and government system. However, he would be perfectly suited to the Huaxia Group. Corporations are not like local governments; they are much simpler. There is no doubt that Nie Jialei would be competent at Huaxia Group.
Furthermore, another reason why Nie Jialei was suitable relates to the major uncle, Nie Guodong, who was once the second-in-command in the military. That connection would leave Nie Jialei without any issues.
Continuing, Nie Zhenbang said, “Chief, currently, with the set-up of one principal and three deputies at Huaxia Group, and following the issues with Zhang Shengshan, another deputy position needs consideration. I believe that adding someone from the military system would be appropriate. Upon review, the current Commander of the Jiangzhou Military Region Jiangnan Province Military Subdivision, Comrade Zhang Xu, seems suitable. Therefore, my suggestion would be for Comrade Zhang Xu to take on the role of General Manager and for Comrade Nie Jialei to become the Chairman. As for future personnel changes and staffing, I am confident they will come up with suitable arrangements.”
Zhang Xu is from the Zhang family and was once a rival to Nie Zhenbang in love affairs. Dong Wan chose not to be with Nie Zhenbang, accepting instead to be his lesser wife, a matter that considerably embittered Zhang Xu, a fact well known within their circle. President Qiao did not expect Nie Zhenbang to recommend Zhang Xu.
After pausing for a moment, President Qiao nodded and said, “This arrangement is good, taking into account all aspects and well thought out. I think we can arrange it this way. Later on, I will discuss this matter with Comrade Wang Suzhou. As for yourself, moving to the new unit, do you have any plans?”
The name Wang Suzhou certainly reminded Nie Zhenbang to take note; it seemed that Wang Suzhou was destined to be the future head of the Central Organization Department.
“`
Reflecting on himself, Nie Zhenbang seriously considered the matter, as the leader’s intention naturally was to ask whom he would bring along. This kind of thing is quite normal within the system; there are those who take office alone and those who bring people, with all kinds of situations.
As for bringing people, it boils down to three types: secretaries, guards, and cadres. After some thought, Nie Zhenbang answered, “Commander, concerning the choice of secretary, I don’t plan to bring anyone over. I feel that Secretary Yun doesn’t quite adapt to the local party and government system. Additionally, Comrade Wu Li is quite exceptional. My opinion is that Wu Li should stay at Huaxia Group and serve as the deputy director of the Group Security Department. Wu Li’s rank is also sufficient. Regarding the guards, I will comply with the organization’s arrangements. As for the secretary, I’d like to consider that after reaching the locality, as it would help me to familiarize myself with the circumstances and carry out my work without being completely in the dark.”
“Moreover, I wish to bring one person over, the current director of the Huaxia Group Security Department, Comrade Chen Le, who was previously the director of the Yu Province Public Security Department. If convenient, I hope that Comrade Chen Le could be transferred to serve as the director of the Hongjiang Province Public Security Department.”
President Qiao nodded, acknowledging that Nie Zhenbang indeed was a doer. Within such a short time, he quickly grasped the situation and made the best considerations and choices. Indeed, it’s better to find a secretary locally. This would significantly speed up the familiarization process and facilitate work. As for bringing a senior public security official to take office, that is basically an old strategy. It’s not easy to intimidate others in a new place with a new leadership team; all aspects must be considered, and it’s not feasible without someone completely trustworthy. Having such a law enforcement agency behind oneself is also a significant support.
After pondering for a moment, President Qiao also smiled and said, “Comrade Yun Fei must have given you a hard time, hadn’t she? Your opinion, however, is very pertinent. Comrade Yun Fei was personally assigned to you by me. This time, since you’re being transferred from Huaxia Group, there likely won’t be any significant issues. Comrade Yun Fei’s work can be considered to have come to an end. As for the arrangements for your guard, that’s also very good; leaving someone of your own at Huaxia Group will definitely help you in the future. Although this time, you didn’t spend a long time at Huaxia Group, sometimes, what is needed is just such an implication, just such a signal.”
At this point, President Qiao hesitated for a moment and then said, “As for Comrade Chen Le’s assignment, let’s do this: this comrade’s rank and qualifications are sufficient, and there’s no need for a lateral move. My opinion is to directly appoint him as a standing committee member and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee, also serving as director of the Public Security Department. Let Comrade Chen Le report there immediately to support you in advance.”
With that said, Nie Zhenbang was also stunned; he hadn’t expected President Qiao’s support to be so substantial. The Huaxia Group’s recommended candidate was confirmed by President Qiao without the slightest hesitation, and as a result, Nie Jialei directly stepped up to a ministerial level position. Nie Zhenbang believed that if properly managed, enduring three to five years at Huaxia Group and achieving results, there wouldn’t be any issue advancing to a vice-national position.
Moreover, in Hongjiang, it was unexpected that while he only requested a director position, President Qiao straightforwardly upped the ante, bestowing upon him the position of a vice-provincial level secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.
It’s essential to understand that this role is entirely different from that of a director. If it were only the position of a director, the deterrent effect would not be as strong as it is now, not to mention that this also includes a vote on the standing committee.
Having said all that, President Qiao also stood up and said, “Take these next few days to rest well in Jingcheng. In addition, An Na’s job transfer will also be carried out simultaneously. Prepare yourselves; in these next few days, I will arrange for someone to escort you to take office in Hongjiang.”
Nie Zhenbang nodded, feeling grateful and excited. This wasn’t just about the degree of support but more importantly, it indicated that he had returned to the normal track, and he also obtained President Qiao’s approval and trust. What happens next is up to him.
He respectfully said, “Commander, please proceed with your work. I won’t disturb you any further.”
Exiting President Qiao’s study, in the outside living room, Fang Li and Liang Yuan were waiting. Seeing Nie Zhenbang come out, and considering that the conversation had lasted over two hours, both stood up.
Nie Zhenbang also nodded understandingly; this was not only a greeting but also implied that the talk had been very successful. Approaching them, Nie Zhenbang lowered his voice and said, “Director Fang, Brother Liang, if you’re free tonight, let’s sit down at Dynasty. I’ll be treating.”
Fang Li promptly agreed. Nie Zhenbang was rising to prominence, always a favored figure within the national system. Being on good terms with him was only beneficial without any downsides.
Liang Yuan glanced at his watch; it was already past ten, almost eleven o’clock. He then whispered, “I’ll go inform the commander first. Wait for me.”
