Chapter 982: Chapter 938 Gong Zheng Visits Chapter 982: Chapter 938 Gong Zheng Visits Hearing this voice, it turned out to be the Secretary of the Provincial Discipline Committee, Gong Zheng.
Nie Zhenbang was sowhat puzzled. Gong Zheng’s visit—could it also be about this matter? If so, Xu Hongzhuan’s opponent this ti was not simple—it seed they were set on thoroughly destroying Xu Hongzhuan, intent on ruining and toppling him completely.
In Hong Feng’s heart, he had also sowhat guessed, and he felt a bit of relief. Fortunately, at the most critical mont, he had made the wisest choice. Otherwise, once Secretary Gong reported back, if he were to report then, the nature would have been quite different.
In Secretary Nie’s eyes, he was just soone forced by circumstances to report, a completely different nature from what it was now.
Not waiting for Nie Zhenbang to give an order, Hong Feng slightly bowed and turned to walk out; soon after, he welcod Gong Zheng inside. Moreover, he brewed a cup of hot tea for Gong Zheng before turning to leave.
One had to say, Hong Feng’s series of actions pleased Nie Zhenbang greatly. Initially, deciding on Hong Feng partly stemd from the fact that there was no need to reacquaint himself, allowing for Hong Feng to get started quickly. Now, Hong Feng’s performance in various aspects was indeed quite comndable.
Gong Zheng sat naturally on the sofa in the visitor’s area, picking up his teacup and leisurely took a sip, praising, “I’ve long heard that the Shifeng tea here at Secretary Nie’s is exceptional. Now, having experienced it firsthand, I have to say it indeed is the pinnacle of all teas. I’m afraid, it is not inferior even to the mother trees of Dahongpao.”
“Secretary Nie, if I’m not mistaken, this batch of Shifeng must have been picked before Qingming Festival. And moreover, all of it harvested by the hands of young girls, processed manually,” Gong Zheng added.
Nie Zhenbang let out a chuckle, for he was never particular about tea. However, he was sowhat familiar with these teas’ origins, and what Gong Zheng said was not far off. Subsequently, Nie Zhenbang also took a seat on the sofa and smiled, “Comrade Gong Zheng, you truly are a tea connoisseur. Since you like it, I’ll have Hong get so for you later on. I don’t have much left, about half a pound. Comrade Gong Zheng, since you’re a tea lover, you can take three ounces back with you. I’ll keep two ounces for hosting guests.”
Gong Zheng also smiled at that mont, “Then I must thank Secretary Nie. It looks like I’ll have to visit you more often in the future.”
As the words fell, Nie Zhenbang also laughed. Secretary of the Discipline Committee, Gong Zheng, had an interesting way about him. He was not the kind of person who was old-fashioned and ticulous to a fault; this joke was particularly sophisticated. It did not detract from his status as the Secretary of the Discipline Committee, yet it served to close the gap between them. And very subtly and evasively, it conveyed a deep aning.
Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “You’re quite sothing, Comrade Gong Zheng, it seems you’ve set your heart on these two ounces of my tea.”
After a bit of banter, the initial sense of unfamiliarity between them had diminished quite a bit. Nie Zhenbang then spoke earnestly, “Secretary Gong, you didn’t co just for the tea, did you?”
At that mont, Gong Zheng, too, beca serious. The upper echelons of the provincial committee were indeed busy—not to the point of handling myriad matters every day, as that would be overly exaggerated, but they were certainly very occupied. Considering and balancing everything, no matter how minute, in the entire province was a certainty. To say they were busy was not an overstatent.
Gong Zheng nodded and said, “Secretary Nie, I am here mainly to report a matter to you. It concerns Comrade Hongzhuan. The Provincial Discipline Committee has received an anonymous letter of accusation, mainly reporting on so issues during Comrade Hongzhuan’s tenure as the Secretary of the Wenchun City Party Committee. I’ve read this letter, and although so contents are ambiguous, most of it is speculative and presumptuous, with a strong subjective bias. Therefore, I’m here to consult with you on how we should handle it.”
Gong Zheng’s words imdiately put Nie Zhenbang into deep thought. Gong Zheng’s capacity and strength in discipline inspection work were beyond doubt.
Now that Gong Zheng had brought this issue to his door, it rited serious consideration; Nie Zhenbang couldn’t help but weigh his options cautiously. As for this matter, Nie Zhenbang found it challenging. To investigate would pose great concerns; to not investigate would also carry risks.
After a pause, Nie Zhenbang finally made a decision. As the top leader, he had to assu his own responsibilities. He guessed that what Gong Zheng was doing at the mont was exactly such a probe. Previously, his appearance at the standing committee eting allowed everyone to see his capability, to see his strong advantages in economic construction and background. He guessed this was the mindset Gong Zheng had at the ti when he raised his hand in agreent; otherwise, it was strange that Gong Zheng followed suit after Wen Baogui raised his hand. After that incident, Gong Zheng had so thoughts about Wen Baogui, and now, what Gong Zheng needed to see was probably still the responsibility of himself as the top leader.
Nie Zhenbang then spoke with a softened tone, “Comrade Gong Zheng, I have also worked in disciplinary inspection before and I understand the challenges of such work. It’s not easy, maintaining the purity and integrity of the party while also being mindful of the thod and approach, taking care to protect our comrades. These are contradictory aspects, and disciplinary work is tough.”
Nie Zhenbang didn’t directly state what to do, but instead approached from the side, from the difficulty of disciplinary inspection work, expressing his opinion first. Naturally, these were things that could resonate, and Gong Zheng was naturally nodding in agreent repeatedly.
After a mont, Nie Zhenbang looked at Gong Zheng and asked, “Comrade Gong Zheng, with your years of experience in discipline inspection, how credible do you think this complaint letter is?”
At this mont, Gong Zheng basically understood what Nie Zhenbang ant. Be mindful of working thods, protect your comrades. Didn’t that imply that when it ca to initiating investigations by the discipline inspection commission, one had to be prudent and cautious?
Imdiately after, Gong Zheng nodded and said, “Looking at the complaint letter, it seems rather empty and grandiose, and furthermore, it’s an anonymous letter. Considering this, its credibility should be reduced a notch. Moreover, since it involves a standing committee mber of the provincial party committee, according to the regulations, such matters should be reported to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. What I an is that since most of it appears to be fishing in troubled waters, it’s better not to report it for now and to investigate confidentially within the province first. Additionally, communicate with Comrade Xu Hongzhuan to ensure that no one is using this as an opportunity for revenge.”
Nie Zhenbang nodded, expressing his agreent, “That’s correct, we cannot rule out this possibility. The complainers are fearful and secretive, which amply demonstrates this point. I think we should be cautious. My opinion is that the discipline inspection side can pay so discreet attention, but this matter should not be made public. Furthermore, I plan to talk to Comrade Xu Hongzhuan in person, as sotis we need to be mindful of working thods and their effects.”
Essentially, with Nie Zhenbang saying this, he had put the final seal on the matter. Gong Zheng wasn’t a naive youngster who didn’t understand anything; he imdiately nodded and said, “That would be good. I think we will arrange the matter according to Secretary Nie’s instructions.”
After pausing for a mont, Gong Zheng continued, “Secretary Nie, there is another matter I would like to report to you. After the New Year, the provincial discipline inspection commission is preparing to select a batch of disciplinary officials from across the province and hold a special training class for the discipline inspection system at the provincial party school. This is to promote the comprehensive developnt of our province’s discipline inspection and supervision work. I specifically ca to report this to you and also to invite Secretary Nie to attend the opening and speak to our comrades.”
Disciplinary official training class? Nie Zhenbang imdiately nodded. This sort of thing was quite common at the local level, not just this type, but others like organizational cadre training classes, propaganda cadre training classes, and political and legal cadre training classes, and so on, all kinds of specialized and targeted training. Generally, these are held within their own systems, but, like this ti, holding it at the provincial party school, the scale, level, and significance are completely different. It could be said that this training class for disciplinary officials could be considered a talent enhancent course for the reserve cadres of the discipline inspection system in Hongjiang Province. One could foresee that future discipline inspection officials, leaders of various departnts of the provincial discipline commission, deputy secretaries, and even the secretary of the provincial commission might erge from this group. Moreover, his attendance and speech would elevate the status and level of the event.
Nie Zhenbang showed no hesitation. Even if it was a courtesy in return for a favor, Nie Zhenbang responded to Gong Zheng’s invitation with great alacrity, saying, “This thod is excellent. Disciplinary inspection and supervision work is systematic and long-term. The personal quality and case-handling capability of disciplinary inspection officials play an imasurable role in maintaining the purity of the party and governnt team. Naturally, I am very willing to participate. When the ti cos, Secretary Gong, rember to notify ; I will definitely attend.”
After these discussions, the two exchanged views on the current work of the discipline commission in Hongjiang Province. Mostly, it was Gong Zheng reporting and Nie Zhenbang listening. Occasionally, Nie Zhenbang would interject with pointed remarks, which greatly impressed Gong Zheng.
As they spoke, Gong Zheng stood up and said, “Secretary Nie, I shall take my leave now, and thank you for the tea.”
Nie Zhenbang also stood up, took the initiative to shake hands with Gong Zheng, and smilingly said, “Comrade Gong Zheng, with you in charge of the provincial discipline commission’s work, I am completely at ease. If you ever want to enjoy so tea, feel free to co and sit with . I can’t guarantee Shifeng tea, but I’m always open to providing ordinary pre-Qingming tea.”
Both of them understood this statent. It seed like a conversation about tea, but the real aning was to communicate and connect more often.
Nie Zhenbang personally escorted Gong Zheng to the door and watched him leave. As soon as Gong Zheng was gone, Nie Zhenbang’s expression imdiately turned solemn. He said to Hong Feng, “Hong, notify Xu Hongzhuan right away, no matter what he is doing. Tell him to co to imdiately.”
