Chapter 957 -913: Conversation with the Organization Department
The next day, for the entire day, Nie Zhenbang didn’t go out. Since the higher-ups had sanctioned his leave, there naturally was a purpose behind it. Over the course of the day, in the morning at a little past eight, after they had dropped Dong Zhiping off to study, the car headed straight into the courtyard complex.
This time, the eldest uncle had also completely stepped down, and Elder Nie Guowei had already retired. The whole Nie family now lived here. In the large courtyard that was five or six thousand square meters, it only felt customary to live in if there were enough people. Not to mention Nie Guodong and Nie Guowei’s couple, even if everyone moved in it wouldn’t feel crowded.
Nie Zhenbang’s return pleased the old lady the most. In the past, with both her sons busy with work and not living here, she often felt lonely. Usually, her eldest daughter, Nie Guoping, visited more frequently. When Guoping didn’t come, the old lady would appear quite despondent.
The old lady was now in her nineties and nearing a hundred years of age, but her body and health in various aspects were still quite good, and her senses were sharp. She chatted with Nie Zhenbang and Yang Anna for a while.
After having lunch, in the Nie family’s study, it was inevitable that the eldest uncle and their father would discuss matters with Nie Zhenbang. This time, Nie Guowei had undoubtedly made certain sacrifices. He was only 59 years old, and retiring so early was indeed a pity.
However, this was an unavoidable path; the Nie family couldn’t possibly have two prominent figures at the same time. Moreover, being a father and son unit, that would be an irony to the Party and the state and detrimental to the reflection of democracy. It was absolutely unacceptable.
Both were concerned about the Hongjiang River issue. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang inquired in detail about the situation of Fang Maotang. The influential figure now led a secluded life and did not reside in Jingcheng permanently, sometimes staying at the Northriver Sanatorium, at other times at the Lushan Sanatorium.
Although the Fang family’s elder was distinguished, the descendants of the Fang family were not particularly impressive. The elder’s protective nature, coupled with the indulgence of the deceased old lady, led the Fang family’s younger generation to be like flowers in a greenhouse, unable to grow strong and hearty.
Consider this: in Jingcheng, who else had the courage of Elder Nie to send their grandson to the harshest places for toughening up? Looking across the circle of noble families, there’s only one such family and no other.
In the afternoon, the couple took their leave. This trip to Hongjiang was expected to occur in the next few days, and many things needed preparation. Yang Anna was also ready to accompany Nie Zhenbang to arrange housing matters in advance, essentially setting up the groundwork for Li Lixue and Dong Wan. Anna was quite happy that both sisters could return this time. They had given too much for their husbands and received too little.
After spending the afternoon shopping, they had walked through all the major malls in Jingcheng and prepared all sorts of necessities before heading home.
At seven in the evening, Nie Zhenbang sat punctually in the living room, with the national television’s “Daily at Seven” news broadcast playing on the big screen TV.
After the news anchor delivered some brief reports and covered the activities of the leaders, the program officially moved on to the main subject.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
On the news, the new appointments for the leaders of the Central Organization Department and the Central Propaganda Department were officially announced. Without any surprises, Wang Suzhou took over Shi Jiandong’s position, assuming the role of head of the Organization Department. Additionally, Ji Jianning became the head of Propaganda.
At the same time, several other adjustments were announced, including leadership changes in the Ministry of Transport, the Xibei Autonomous Region, and several provinces in Ludong.
At seven-thirty, the news ended, and Nie Zhenbang stood up. Just as he rose to his feet, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang. Looking at the incoming call, it was a number belonging to Wang Suzhou.
Nie Zhenbang felt a sudden astonishment. Indeed, with the new personnel appointments, a new atmosphere was present. As soon as the appointment decision was announced, Wang Suzhou’s call came through. From this, it could be seen that President Qiao’s working attitude was practical.
As the saying goes, “As above, so below.” President Qiao’s stance would naturally be learned and pondered by those beneath him.
After answering the call, Nie Zhenbang didn’t wait for Wang Suzhou to speak and chuckled, “Minister Suzhou, hello.”
Even though Wang Suzhou’s rank was only at the ministerial level, he was part of the inner circle. Within the Party’s official duties, Wang Suzhou’s position was half a level higher than Nie Zhenbang’s. Such an address was thus perfectly normal.
On the other end, Wang Suzhou spoke with a laugh, “Zhenbang, there’s no need for such formalities between you and me. This time, I’m calling on behalf of the organization. Comrade Zhenbang, tomorrow morning at nine, please come to the Organization Department. This is a necessary organizational procedure to follow.”
The night passed without incident. The next morning at around eight-thirty, Nie Zhenbang arrived at the Organization Department and went straight upstairs. After sitting in Wang Suzhou’s office for two minutes, Wang Suzhou emerged from the inner room. He was very pleased with Nie Zhenbang’s attitude.
Nie Zhenbang was a person both trusted and valued by the leader, but at this moment, Nie Zhenbang didn’t show any arrogance. In everything he did, he always demonstrated humility. Just take the current matter, the organizational talk, which was originally scheduled for nine o’clock. Nie Zhenbang’s arriving half an hour early fully indicated the importance he attached to the matter and the respect he had for himself.
“Zhenbang has come so early, since you’re here already, let’s start then,” Wang Suzhou immediately moved the conversation half an hour earlier. This kind of matter was entirely up to Wang Suzhou’s discretion.
He ordered his secretary, “Xiao Tang, make arrangements; I won’t see anyone for the next hour.”
Entering Wang Suzhou’s office, Nie Zhenbang looked around. The office was not large, about 50 square meters, very simple and plain. The right side was the reception area, and the left was the work area, everything seemed proper and to the point. Opposite the reception area hung a calligraphy piece personally inscribed by Qiao Yiren that read “Govern for the Public,” with a profound and clear implication. It fully demonstrated Wang Suzhou’s character, indeed a very cautious person.
If this kind of setting were on the local level, it would still be with future prospects in mind. Wang Suzhou had now reached a peak in his life but still maintained his usual style, which was really admirable.
This conversation seemed very formal. Wang Suzhou sat behind his desk while Nie Zhenbang also took a seat in front of the desk.
For this occasion, Wang Suzhou even opened a notebook on the desk, which was part of the procedure. As a leader of the organizational department, speaking on behalf of the organization with leadership cadres, the general outline of the conversation had to be recorded. In addition, the performance of the cadre being spoken to also needed an evaluation.
After a pause, Wang Suzhou smiled and said, “Zhenbang, let’s begin.”
Nie Zhenbang nodded, and at this moment, Wang Suzhou became serious, “Comrade Zhenbang, this time, I’m speaking to you on behalf of the organization. I hope you have no concerns or worries. This is entirely a normal procedure.”
Next, Wang Suzhou briefly summarized Nie Zhenbang’s previous resume and work, saying, “Comrade Nie Zhenbang, looking at your work over the years, it has been outstanding. In terms of qualifications, it also meets the selection criteria for party and government leadership cadres. Young and strong, very good in various aspects of knowledge and ability. For a cadre like you, the organization’s attitude has always been clear, you must be put to great use. This time, entrusted by the central leadership, I am speaking to you on behalf of the organization. You should be mentally prepared, the organization has decided to increase your responsibilities. Do you have any opinions or comments?”
Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang naturally understood what he should say next. In such conversation processes, it was essentially a formality, reflecting the party’s democratic system. After all, in the promotion and utilization process of cadres, the organization truly seeks the opinions of the cadres themselves.
Nie Zhenbang’s expression was very serious. Although everyone present was acquainted, Nie Zhenbang was clear about what to do. To be frivolous and smirking would appear too childish.
After a pause, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “I’m grateful to Minister Suzhou, thankful for the organization’s trust and support. Personally, I resolutely obey the organization’s arrangements. No matter where I am or what position I hold, I will do my utmost to do my job well and contribute bricks and tiles to the construction of the party and nation.”
After saying this, the organizational talk was essentially over; at this moment, Wang Suzhou’s expression also relaxed, accompanied by a slight smile.
However, having been involved in the assessment and management of organizational cadres for so long, Wang Suzhou naturally carried a serious demeanor daily.
“Zhenbang, this time, the work in Hongjiang River is entrusted to you by the leader – it’s a tremendous responsibility,” Wang Suzhou said somewhat sentimentally.
In fact, Wang Suzhou was also worried for Nie Zhenbang. With Nie Zhenbang being young, whether he could hold authority, whether he could straighten out the tangled mess in Hongjiang River, was still uncertain. One misstep could lead to a dismal result.
Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “Minister Suzhou, rest assured, without the diamond, I wouldn’t take on porcelain work. Since the leader trusts me and Minister Suzhou supports me, I am confident I can do this job well.”
Wang Suzhou nodded too and said, “Yesterday, Comrade Chen Le already went to take office in Hongjiang River, personally escorted by Vice Minister Wang. Don’t be in a hurry on your end. Wait until the afternoon when the organization department issues the public announcement of your intended appointment. Let’s say seven days later. After seven days, I will personally escort you to Hongjiang River.”
Nie Zhenbang was very grateful. Wang Suzhou might seem stern, but he was a very decent person. Vice Minister Wang was the organization department’s executive deputy minister, a rank suitable even for escorting principal officials of provincial governments or top leaders of provincial parties. Personally escorting Chen Le was definitely a show of strong support. Furthermore, Wang Suzhou would personally escort him in the future, which was an even stronger endorsement, showing a clear stance to the comrades in Hongjiang River.
Upon leaving the organization department and just as he exited the main doors of the building, a man in his forties approached with a smile, respectfully asking, “Excuse me, are you Secretary Nie?”(
