Chapter 786: Chapter 742: Team Division eting_1
At the level of Nie Zhenbang and Zeng Taiping, a lot could be communicated without the need for explicit words. Concerning these matters, Zeng Taiping’s words had made his opinion quite clear. The truth was, if Fan Youcai had the ability to serve as the head of the Finance Departnt, there wouldn’t be any question about his competence with such matters, whether or not he was capable of serving in a higher position.
Yet Zeng Taiping suggested that Fan Youcai needs to learn more from Nie Zhenbang. This ant that Nie Zhenbang’s words were still influential in the matters of the Finance Departnt. With Zeng Taiping’s approval, there shouldn’t be any issues from Fan Youcai’s side.
At this mont, Nie Zhenbang also stood up and modestly said, “Secretary Zeng, that’s too serious; I’m far from being an expert, I’m still learning. As for the finance work, it’s mainly led by Comrade Fan Youcai.”
By saying this, he returned the complint. Hearing this, Zeng Taiping laughed heartily, “Oh, Zhenbang, you are too humble.”
After returning from Secretary Zeng Taiping’s office in the afternoon, as soon as he started work, Nie Zhenbang instructed Li Jupeng, “Jupeng, arrange a eting with Governor Sun and Governor Pan.”
It had been close to two months since he was transferred to Bashu until his official election. Now, it was ti to confirm the division of work in the governnt team. The reason for asking Li Jupeng to notify Sun Jialuo and Pan Jianzhang was for the sa purpose.
In the provincial governnt team, if the division of work issue could have the approval of the two standing committee mbers of the provincial party committee, the next steps would be easier.
It took less than five minutes for the door to open from the outside. Led by Li Jupeng, Sun Jialuo and Pan Jianzhang stepped in. By this ti, Nie Zhenbang had already stood up, walked away from his desk, personally pouring each of them a cup of hot tea. Then, he also sat on the sofa next to them.
Sun Jialuo appeared a bit tense, sowhat reserved. Nie Zhenbang was understanding about it. Their relationship had been decent while they were studying at the central level together. However, after Nie Zhenbang was transferred to Bashu Province, Sun Jialuo followed in Zeng Taiping’s footsteps. Although it was never explicitly stated, everyone knew that Sun Jialuo’s actions were sowhat unethical.
Even if Sun Jialuo didn’t do anything, didn’t take sides, and just watched the drama, no one would say anything. But now…
Nie Zhenbang had his own plans regarding this matter, but for the ti being, it was not the right ti.
After organizing his thoughts and language, Nie Zhenbang started, “Old Sun, Old Pan, this ti I have specifically invited you two here for one main issue.”
After a pause, Nie Zhenbang observed their reactions. Sun Jialuo appeared as composed as ever. Pan Jianzhang, who had a different relationship with him, appeared more relaxed. As soon as he heard these words, his eyebrows visibly raised.
“Ever since my appointnt in Bashu Province, several months have passed, and the main issue this ti is to readjust the division of work within the provincial governnt team,” said Nie Zhenbang casually.
At this point, Sun Jialuo and Pan Jianzhang had adjusted their emotional states and appeared more normal.
After a pause, Sun Jialuo looked up at Nie Zhenbang and said, “I agree with the Governor’s proposal. Ever since the Governor took office, due to so issues and perhaps considering that he was not yet formally elected, the division of work in the team has not been settled. Now, I am very supportive of making it official.”
Then, Sun Jialuo took the initiative to say, “Governor, ever since Deputy Premier Nie left Bashu, I have been in charge of developnt and reform. But I’m limited in my capabilities. I want to hand over this part of the work.”
Hearing Sun Jialuo’s words, Nie Zhenbang, who had anticipated this, exchanged glances with Pan Jianzhang. Then he said, “Old Sun, if you say so, you’re just being overly modest. If I rember correctly, your role in the governnt includes presiding over the routine work, responsible for developnt, key projects, personnel, labor, etc. You’re in charge of the Developnt and Reform Commission and the Personnel Bureau. It would be unfair to you, and it would hinder the key projects throughout Bashu, most of which need the approval of the Developnt and Reform Commission. I cannot agree to your request.”
Nie Zhenbang decisively rejected Sun Jialuo’s suggestion. He knew very well Sun Jialuo’s thoughts at this mont. In many provincial and municipal governnts across the country, it is quite common for the head of governnt to control finance and developnt and reform.
For example, when his father was in Bashu, he was in charge of the Developnt and Reform Commission. However, for the sake of Bashu’s economic developnt, Sun Jialuo took over after his father left. Sun Jialuo’s current move is, in fact, an acknowledgnt of his weakness.
Imagine this, the work of the Reform and Developnt Commission. It’s in the hands of the top brass, any project will inevitably require the signature of the top brass in order to proceed. In this way, no one can bypass the authority of the governnt’s top man.
Nie Zhenbang paused for a mont, then chuckled, “Old Sun, we are classmates, you know my character well. Be it in matters or in person, I am straight-talking. I never resort to deceit or false pretense. This ti, the adjustnt of duty assignnt within our team is just routine. Most of the assignnts, I don’t plan to change. As for my workload, my primary responsibilities will be to preside over the comprehensive work of the provincial governnt. I’ll manage finance, supervision, auditing, and planning, overseeing the departnts of finance, supervision, auditing, and the Provincial Planning Commission. I’ll also be in charge of coordinating with the Ministry of Finance, Supervision, and Auditing in their Bashu offices.”
As his words fell, admiration was evident on the faces of Sun Jialuo and Pan Jianzhang. Sun Jialuo sighed at this mont, realizing he had underestimated his classmate. Despite being the youngest among them, his execution was mature and his considerations scrupulous.
By holding control over finance, it’s as if he’s gripping the financial lifeline of the province; controlling supervision is akin to holding a trump card that can suppress anything at any ti; with auditing in hand, that’s essentially mastering the performance evaluation of other cadres; finally, by grasping the job planning, the staffing in the province would be under his control. He may not hold many portfolios, but each of them is vital. Moreover, he has Huang Jin, who can be said to be in the sa boat with him. In this way, Nie Zhenbang’s position in the provincial governnt is as sturdy as Taishan.
Reflecting on this, Sun Jialuo nodded, “The governor’s arrangents are excellent. I have no personal objections.”
On the side, Pan Jianzhang also smiled and said, “Governor, I have no objections.”
Hearing the two of them, Nie Zhenbang nodded, “Since you both agree, we should strike while the iron is hot, gathering other mbers of the team to convene a eting. We’ll rally all the governnt team mbers at ho. At the eting, we’ll officially confirm it.”
With the approval of these two, the two most important people in the governnt team had expressed their agreent. Basically, the entire eting should proceed without any issues.
Very quickly, in less than half an hour, all the at-ho leaders of the provincial governnt team were seated in the eting room, and Nie Zhenbang promptly entered the room.
Glancing at everyone, Sun Jialuo and Pan Jianzhang were on his left and right, followed by Zhou Yining, Huang Jin, Li Xiaoyang, Li Wei, Li Guangqiang, and Ma Yuequn. Lastly, Secretary General Fang Yuan sat last. His secretary, Li Jupeng, who was also the Chief of the Office of the Governnt Secretariat, was seated on the side, serving as the eting recorder. Among the team mbers, Assistant Governor Chen Feng, had gone to Chunan Province to participate in the Western Region Tourism Expo.
Setting down his teacup, Nie Zhenbang laughed, “Let’s get started, comrades. The main purpose of this eting is to decide on the division of labor.”
He paused, glancing at everyone’s expressions. Apart from Sun Jialuo and Pan Jianzhang, the calst individuals were Huang Jin, Li Guangqiang, and Ma Yuequn. Huang Jin, despite having the title of Vice Governor, was only in charge of the Public Security Departnt. Moreover, he established a good relationship with Governor Nie through the incident at Yangde City. He was not worried about his work being affected.
Additionally, the situations of Li Guangqiang and Ma Yuequn were similar. One was a non-partisan, the other was from the Democratic Factions. One was responsible for agriculture, forestry, fishing, animal husbandry, and water affairs, the other for science, education, culture, health, and sports. They were working in peaceful departnts and didn’t care whether there were adjustnts or not.
Moreover, both were not mbers of the Party Leadership Group of the Provincial Governnt. They had a clear self-awareness.
The ones who were anxious were Zhou Yining and Li Wei. Nie Zhenbang chuckled at this mont, “In terms of key work areas, there won’t be many changes. As for Comrade Li Wei, there will be a slight adjustnt. From now on, I will supervise the work of the Labour Departnt and the Personnel Departnt. Also, since the departure of Vice Premier Nie, the work of the Departnt of Finance, Supervision Bureau, and Provincial Planning Commission hasn’t been clearly assigned. From now on, I will take charge of these.”
With Nie Zhenbang’s words, Sun Jialuo, Pan Jianzhang, Huang Jin, and Fang Yuan all expressed their approval one after another.
Next, naturally, nobody was foolish enough to oppose such a matter. The eting unanimously passed the issue of team duty assignnt.
…
As Nie Zhenbang declared the eting adjourned, everyone stood up. Nie Zhenbang also stood up and whispered to Sun Jialuo next to him: “Old Sun, tomorrow is the weekend. How about getting together?” (.)
