Reborn as a Noble’s Son
Chapter 1120 - Chapter 1120 Chapter 1076 Precautionary Arrangements

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1076: Precautionary Arrangements Chapter 1120: Chapter 1076: Precautionary Arrangements Nie Zhenbang summoned, and Qin Guanghan naturally would not refuse. In fact, to speak truthfully, Qin Guanghan was somewhat unlucky. In reality, from the time Nie Zhenbang was transferred to Hongjiang Province, Qin Guanghan had already started to distance himself from He Yusheng. At that time, both of their children were nearly at the stage of discussing marriage.

However, afterward, Qin Guanghan began to gradually reduce this relationship after Nie Zhenbang took office. Of course, there were some factors involving rumors about He Miao that weren’t good, but this wasn’t the main reason.

At Qin Guanghan’s level, such matters were seen very clearly. Yamen born, wealthy and powerful, and at an age of youthful frivolity, it was rare to find those who weren’t indulgent. Of course, there were such people, but they were after all a minority.

In the current social climate, such matters were no longer considered strange; they were not the main reason for the estrangement between the two parties.

Nevertheless, afterward, He Yusheng and Nie Zhenbang suddenly got close. Later, as Wen Baogui was transferred away and Fang Yuanshan took office in Hongjiang, Qin Guanghan made a judgment error for a short while.

This mistake directly led to the distancing of his relationship with Nie Zhenbang. At this moment, upon receiving a call from Nie Zhenbang, Qin Guanghan was very pleased. This was a rare opportunity to mend the rift with Secretary Nie, which would be hugely beneficial.

From Qin Guanghan’s office to Nie Zhenbang’s, it was just a few steps’ distance, all on the same floor. In less than two minutes, Qin Guanghan had walked in through the door.

This time, Nie Zhenbang personally took action and poured a cup of tea for Qin Guanghan, not the pre-Qingming Longjing, but rather Da Hong Pao.

From this detail, one could discern the difference between Huang Wenwei and Qin Guanghan.

Setting the teacup on the coffee table and sliding it toward Qin Guanghan, Nie Zhenbang also sat down, smiling as he said, “Comrade Guanghan, please have some tea.”

Qin Guanghan was not too restrained. After more than two years, although he couldn’t claim to understand Nie Zhenbang completely, he did have a fairly solid grasp.

Nie Zhenbang was someone who always focused on official matters. In affairs of state, if there were disagreements, Nie Zhenbang belonged to those who would never shirk his duty and would argue vehemently. However, behind the scenes, Nie Zhenbang was quite easy to get along with.

Picking up the teacup, Qin Guanghan sniffed the aroma, then took a sip, his eyes closing slightly as though savoring the aftertaste in his mouth.

Completing the sequence with fluid grace, he had shown his appreciation for the tea. It was then that Qin Guanghan finally opened his eyes, smiling and saying, “After all the teas I’ve drunk, I still find the Da Hong Pao from Secretary’s place to have a unique flavor. It truly is the supreme tea, the king of teas. It’s a pity that the water is somewhat lacking and so is the teaware.”

Nie Zhenbang laughed as well, “Comrade Guanghan, you truly live up to your reputation as a ‘poet secretary.’ The cool pavilion halfway up the mountain, the sound of guqin and crane calls, a pond, a cup of tea–such a scene is beyond my ability to mimic. Whether it’s black tea or green, good or bad, they all seem the same to my palate. This crystallization from the mother tree of the Da Hong Pao is wasted with me. Later, I will have Hong prepare some for you to take with you. Just as a precious blade suits a hero, good tea also needs one who appreciates it.”

Speaking, Nie Zhenbang then said with a smile, “This year, our Hongjiang Province’s ‘two sessions’ have been delayed quite a bit. This year is also very important for Hongjiang. A significant number of leadership positions at the basic county and city level and the prefectural cities must be adjusted. This time, Comrade Guanghan, your work is quite heavy.”

Having said this, Nie Zhenbang’s gaze bore into Qin Guanghan as he continued, “Comrade Guanghan, you are the full-time deputy secretary in charge of organizational and personnel matters, and you also double as the Party School’s principal. In the promotion and advancement of leadership officials, you must fully leverage the role of the Party School. I think, during this period, it might be good to organize a short training class for young officials at the Provincial Party School. This way, we can also better select talents for the entire province.”

Nie Zhenbang appeared very composed as he casually uttered these words. However, for Qin Guanghan, these words had a very different taste.

As a full-time deputy secretary, in charge of collective organizational consciousness and organizational and personnel work, it’s common for the full-time deputy secretary to have another moniker at the local level: the personnel secretary.

But Qin Guanghan was well aware of the situation in Hongjiang Province. Ever since he himself had served as the Director of the Organization Department, basically, he had nothing to do with personnel work as the deputy secretary.

Qin Guanghan had profound feelings about this. Back when he was the Director of the Organization Department and had sidelined Wen Baogui, and then when he became the deputy secretary and was subsequently sidelined by Li Wei.

Ever since his position was adjusted and he became the full-time deputy secretary, whether it was appointments or changes, when was there ever anything to do with him in the internal personnel work of the province?

This truly confirmed the saying, “The past of others is your today.” However, at this moment, hearing the words from Nie Zhenbang, Qin Guanghan was somewhat incredulous. The meaning of Secretary Nie’s words was clear; it was a signal, a sign for him to also participate in this round of provincial cadre adjustments.

Adjustments in leadership at the prefectural level and below, including the county and city levels, have always been an arena of fierce competition among provincial committee leaders.

Every position is a point of contention. Such matters are quite normal for a leader. Reflecting a leader’s value can be seen in multiple aspects, with the most important aspect being the leader’s authority. However, authority is not self-bestowed. Authority is demonstrated through other matters.

For example, arranging something for one’s relatives without directly intervening, as a leader, one must consider their image. At such times, just a glance or a word, and the subordinates will handle everything efficiently; this is an expression of authority.

In plain terms, authority needs a response from those below, without subordinates, the so-called authority is just empty talk.

Therefore, personnel adjustments have always been a focal point of dispute among leaders. To hold the power of personnel adjustments is to hold the initiative and the advantage. Now, with Secretary Nie’s remarks, he is undoubtedly including himself in this circle.

Faced with such an opportunity, Qin Guanghan would naturally not let it slip by. After pondering for a moment, Qin Guanghan nodded and said, “Secretary Nie’s instructions will be strictly implemented. In fact, in this regard, the provincial Party school has also given some thought to it in line with the central documents’ spirit. In promoting young cadres, the Party school must also do its part to select a group of vigorous and ideologically strong cadres for training. This also aligns with the spirit of the central authority.”

Having said this, Qin Guanghan took the opportunity to add, “Secretary Nie, when classes start, we hope that Secretary Nie can come and provide guidance.”

Nie Zhenbang listened and chuckled. Qin Guanghan was indeed tactful–inviting him to speak at the inauguration of the training class was, without doubt, a favor. Speaking at the opening would demonstrate his attention to young leadership cadres and also inform them that it was Secretary Nie who had nodded in approval for their promotion.

The Party school has always been a place that can increase the reserve cadre force. Do we not see that the successors up top usually also serve as the Party school’s principal?

Nie Zhenbang nodded and readily agreed, then said, “In terms of organization and personnel, Comrade Guanghan could communicate and coordinate more with Comrade Wei Ran. Two heads are better than one. More discussions can improve our personnel work.”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Qin Guanghan also nodded, appearing very sincere, and said, “Secretary, please rest assured, I will definitely strengthen my ties with Minister Wei Ran and work together to manage the province’s organizational personnel affairs well.”

Having reached this point in the conversation, Qin Guanghan had already understood; it was obviously a great opportunity to get closer to Li Wei, Wei Lin, Chen Le, and the others, and Qin Guanghan would naturally not give up on this.

After discussing the personnel issues of Hongjiang Province for a while longer, Qin Guanghan took the initiative to stand up and take his leave.

Nothing can be achieved overnight. Easing of relations also takes time, and others cannot trust you completely all at once. These things need to be proven with actions and over time. This cannot be rushed.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang also stood up and escorted Qin Guanghan to the door before turning back to his seat.

Hong Feng walked in from outside the door at this moment. Today, Secretary Nie’s series of actions had left Hong Feng somewhat puzzled. After careful consideration, Hong Feng was surprised.

Looking at all the signs, Secretary Nie’s actions seemed to pave the way for the future, starting with Huang Wenwei and then Qin Guanghan. The relationship between these two individuals and Secretary Nie could only be described as ambiguous, but their positions were very special. Clearly, Secretary Nie was planning and considering for the future.

Seeing Nie Zhenbang sitting at his desk, Hong Feng hesitated, unsure of how to start.

But it was Nie Zhenbang who looked at Hong Feng and smiled, saying, “Hong, do you have something on your mind?”

Nie Zhenbang’s words emboldened Hong Feng, who, with a determined look at Nie Zhenbang, asked, “Secretary, are you going to leave?”

Hong Feng’s question somewhat surprised Nie Zhenbang; Hong Feng’s political acumen had caught Nie Zhenbang off guard. Looking at Hong Feng, Nie Zhenbang simply smiled and said, “You’re quite astute. However, it’s not certain yet. My preparations are just a precaution.”

Having said this, Nie Zhenbang then looked at Hong Feng and said, “Hong, with the provincial Party committee’s Deputy Secretary-General Yin Weihua transferring to the People’s Congress, his position has been vacated. You should be mentally prepared for this possibility.”

In fact, at this moment, Nie Zhenbang began to see Hong Feng in a new light. At present, Hong Feng held a director-level post. If he served as the Deputy Secretary-General of the provincial Party committee with the rank of a major secretary, he would step into the deputy department level. This would, without doubt, be of great benefit to Hong Feng.
