Chapter 1177: Chapter 1133: Losing Temper in the Treasury Departnt Chapter 1177: Chapter 1133: Losing Temper in the Treasury Departnt “`
“Hmm, I will definitely implent the secretary’s instructions strictly and carry them out in the whole province, within the propaganda system. The propaganda departnt, in particular, must do a good job in transmitting and propagating positive energy, becoming the stronghold, the vanguard,” Li Hongying chanted the slogan, yet her firm expression conveyed her desire to align herself.
Nie Zhenbang smiled faintly. Li Hongying’s attitude was sothing he had anticipated; it wasn’t anything unusual. One shouldn’t be too proud. Being overly proud would make one seem out of place. In that case, no one would support or follow below.
Under the premise of not violating major principles, Nie Zhenbang was also soone who let minor, inconsequential details pass. There is no gold without impurities, and no person is flawless; this is an eternal truth. Crystal clear waters harbor no fish. In the ancient officialdom, the idea of “it’s a blessing to be confused sotis” ant just that.
After pondering for a mont, Nie Zhenbang also slowly began to speak, “The work of propaganda must grasp the situation in Longxi, and address the issues within Longxi Province, such as the uneven economic developnt issues, like the problems of the countryside, left-behind children, left-behind elderly, as well as environntal protection issues. The propaganda departnt should guide public opinion properly. They need to go deep into the grassroots, carry out lectures, touring education, as well as various other dia thods. Convey positive energy, highlight the advanced, highlight the individual. Go deep down and deliver the policies of the party to the front line. This is the way to mobilize the masses, to work together and build a better Longxi.”
These words ca easily to Nie Zhenbang, but they deeply shocked Li Hongying and her husband. Nie Zhenbang’s capabilities were fully demonstrated; his understanding of propaganda work was such that it could be said he had it at his fingertips. Such ability was definitely shocking. After the shock, naturally ca sincere admiration.
Glancing at her wristwatch, it was already nine in the evening. Arriving at six, after dining and the exchange, ti had indeed flown by. Now, Nie Zhenbang also stood up, “Minister Hongying, Old Feng, it’s getting late. I won’t impose any longer.”
After Nie Zhenbang left, Li Hongying’s face relaxed considerably. Despite calling it a family banquet and it being an informal occasion, Nie Zhenbang’s status was there, and both the Li couple dared not be the slightest bit careless or neglectful.
At this mont, after Nie Zhenbang had left, they finally relaxed. Slumping onto the sofa without regard for image, Li Hongying then turned to Feng Changqing and said, “Husband, go wash an apple for . When Secretary Nie was here, I really didn’t eat much.”
Feng Changqing was extrely caring towards his wife and said with a smile, “You and your concerns.”
Finding a fruit knife and picking up a Red Fuji apple, he sat next to Li Hongying and began to peel it carefully, “Hongying, Secretary Nie is indeed extraordinary.”
Others only knew of Li Hongying’s formidable abilities, but she was well aware that her husband, with his scholarly elegance, although not so successful in his career, had been indispensable in her own success.
Speaking of Nie Zhenbang, Li Hongying also sat up straight and nodded, “You noticed too? The delicate balance of the Longxi Provincial Committee began to shift after Secretary Nie took office. With my background and status, it’s quite difficult to advance further. Across the country, there are very few won holding the office of provincial committee secretary. So, getting closer to Secretary Nie might not be a bad idea. Yan Fengjiao, the female mayor of Lizhou City, I believe you’ve heard of her. She’s the one Secretary Nie promoted himself.”
Feng Changqing listened and chuckled, handing the peeled apple to Li Hongying, “You always think about these things. Indeed, the early bird catches the worm. In my view, Secretary Nie’s appointnt to Longxi signifies significant ambitions. Stepping into the arena with the role of Longxi Provincial Committee’s leader, the central governnt’s support isn’t minor.”
…
The next morning, Nie Zhenbang woke up on ti, refreshed. Yesterday’s wine had no side effects. It didn’t go to his head, was llow, and had a sweet aftertaste. This also gave Nie Zhenbang an anticipation for the Qin Chuan liquor. The liquor industry has always been a mainstay for the people of the country. While serving in Bashu, which is known as the city of liquor, Nie Zhenbang now had to wait and see, considering the uncertain future of Longxi’s developnt.
At seven fifty in the morning, Nie Zhenbang and his bodyguard Wang Jian arrived on ti at the Provincial Committee compound. Many people were already waiting in the yard; this morning, Nie Zhenbang was set to inspect the Provincial Finance Departnt. Originally scheduled for next week, the Finance Departnt reported they were almost ready. Given this, Nie Zhenbang decided to go with the flow and moved the inspection to today.
This was naturally a big deal. Not only Liu Xiaomin was fully prepared, but all mbers of the Provincial Committee’s standing committee were watching. They all anticipated what moves Nie Zhenbang would make during his visit to the Finance Departnt.
The entourage was quite simple, consisting of only his secretary Xia Gang, his bodyguard Wang Jian, and the Provincial Committee’s Secretary-General Liu Xiaomin accompanying him, as well as a journalist stationed there by the propaganda departnt.
This ti, Liu Zhentao didn’t co, finding an excuse to decline. As for Liu Zhentao’s thoughts, Nie Zhenbang saw them quite clearly. Although Liu Zhentao had canceled, Nie Zhenbang knew his intentions, which were simply to see what asures and attitudes Nie Zhenbang would take during his visit to the Finance Departnt. It was all about acting according to circumstances. These were common tactics for everyone.
As the leading official, Nie Zhenbang’s travels were always to be reported publicly. This was an important ans to increase his influence within the province.
“`
The new secretary takes office, and what changes in policy ensue? What changes occur internally? These matters are inseparable from reporting. Additionally, the frequency of appearances on television, newspapers, and other dia is also a sign of how important a leader is.
The Finance Departnt, located in the western part of Ancient City’s urban area, is in a completely different direction from the Provincial Committee compound. A domineering SUV followed by a Jinlong business van, one after the other, traverse the urban area.
The cityscape of Ancient City was fully displayed before Nie Zhenbang. The well-preserved ancient city walls zigzag through the city. It’s as if he had traveled back in ti, returning to the prosperous era of Changan.
By the roadside, the CBD Business Center of Ancient City, with its tall buildings, exudes a modern atmosphere. The convoy continued on, and as it drew near West City, the dilapidated old city districts on both sides caused Nie Zhenbang to frown. The renovation of the old city in Ancient City had beco a matter of necessity, as its appearance had been severely affecting the image of Ancient City. Furthermore, the slums were also breeding grounds for darkness. Renovating the slums was inherently a good deed that would benefit the people’s livelihood.
“Secretary, you’re inspecting the Finance Departnt today. Many leaders in the province are watching, aren’t they?” Liu Xiaomin, sitting beside Nie Zhenbang in the domineering SUV, suddenly spoke up.
As ti went by, Liu Xiaomin gradually aligned herself, starting with due diligence. Then she made concerted efforts. After initial trust was established, Liu Xiaomin began to touch upon so deeper topics. However, she managed this very well.
Nie Zhenbang actually admired Liu Xiaomin sowhat. The performance of these two won in the Longxi Provincial team had truly surprised him, whereas the n now seed rather inferior by comparison.
He smiled lightly, “Hehe, that’s normal. A new official lights three fires, right? To speak truthfully, perhaps the first fire may have burned the Zhao Group of Jinan City. Now, everyone up and down is waiting for my second fire, aren’t they?”
There was another thought Nie Zhenbang didn’t voice out loud, who said that a new official must light three fires upon taking office? Is it okay just to light one? The main purpose of a new official lighting fires is to intimidate the petty and highlight authority. Once the goal is achieved, whether to light fires or not is secondary.
The Finance Departnt’s building was an old-style office building, and the yard wasn’t very spacious. Within the transparent-style fence, the Finance Departnt building was only a few ters away from the main street. The parking lot in the yard was also pitifully small.
Upon Nie Zhenbang’s arrival, Wang Zhaohai, along with other mbers of the Finance Departnt’s team, ca forward to greet him at the entrance: “Secretary, welco to the Finance Departnt for your guidance.”
Looking around at everyone, there were a total of seven officials on this side. Nie Zhenbang was quite pleased with this; Wang Zhaohai was not confused and had not mobilized all the staff of the departnt to co to the reception.
If that had been the case, he might have had to vent his anger. During working hours, they abandon work to greet a leader; if this got out, it would not only embarrass the Finance Departnt but also Nie Zhenbang.
The group entered the conference room of the Finance Departnt. Nie Zhenbang took the main seat, flanked by Liu Xiaomin and Wang Zhaohai. Then, Wang Zhaohai reported on the recent work of the Finance Departnt, specifically addressing the previous report contents and Nie Zhenbang’s instructions, and provided an update.
Nie Zhenbang listened very seriously and carefully. Such deanor was necessary. Subordinates respect their superiors, and the leader naturally has to give face to his subordinates. As for the report, Nie Zhenbang had to be serious both emotionally and rationally. Even if he wasn’t genuinely interested, he had to appear to be.
After Wang Zhaohai finished speaking, Nie Zhenbang looked up at Wang Zhaohai and asked, “Director Wang, is that all?”
This question imdiately tightened Wang Zhaohai’s brow. He was sowhat unsure about Nie Zhenbang’s attitude. Nervously, he looked at Nie Zhenbang and said, “Uh… currently… these are roughly the asures we’ve taken.”
As his voice fell, Wang Zhaohai didn’t expect that Nie Zhenbang would slam his hand down on the table. The room instantly fell silent. The atmosphere was tense with annoyance. Nie Zhenbang was truly unhappy with the efficiency of the Finance Departnt. The entire report lacked any substantial asures, filled with abstract concepts and not a single ntion of control over financial expenditure. This attitude undoubtedly irritated Nie Zhenbang. Given Longxi’s tight financial situation, if the Finance Departnt continued like this, Longxi’s developnt would be a joke.
After pondering for a mont, Nie Zhenbang looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, “I am very dissatisfied with the actions and report of the Finance Departnt.” (
