Chapter 1154: Chapter 1110: Goodbye, Hongjiang River Chapter 1154: Chapter 1110: Goodbye, Hongjiang River “`

Following the conclusion of the conference, there was a grand luncheon held at the Provincial Committee guesthouse to welcome Wang Suzhou and his delegation. Of course, although described as grand, the arrangements in every aspect strictly adhered to the standards of the reception regulations. Moreover, since it was noon, neither tobacco nor alcohol was offered.

After the banquet, the hustle and bustle at Fang Yuanshan’s doorstep naturally increased. Nie Zhenbang, however, remained quite indifferent to all this, understanding that it’s inevitable for local cadres to have such thoughts. Besides, with Fang Yuanshan assuming the new role of the top leader, it was necessary for him to hold such a status.

If the doorstep had been deserted, that would have been the abnormality.

Yet, while the leadership of Hongjiang Province was still in a state of surprise, while still in the stage of taking sides and declaring their determination, the central government consecutively released several notices of proposed appointments.

A few days after Wang Suzhou left Hongjiang, the * Organization Department sent Vice Minister Wei Liyang once again. At the Hongjiang Provincial Committee hall, Wei Liyang announced a series of personnel appointments and removals.

After careful consideration, the central government agreed to accept Fang Yuanshan’s resignation as Governor of the People’s Government of Hongjiang Province, appointing Qin Guanghan as the Deputy Governor and Acting Governor and submitting the decision for discussion and passage by the Standing Committee of the Hongjiang Provincial People’s Congress.

At the same time, the decision was made to appoint Huang Wenwei as a member of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee, Standing Committee, and Deputy Secretary, and to propose the removal of Huang Wenwei from the position of Executive Deputy Governor.

Xu Hongzhuan was relieved of her duties as the Secretary-General, Standing Committee member, and member of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee, and was appointed as a member and Standing Committee member of the Provincial Committee, nominated as a candidate for the Executive Deputy Governor of Hongjiang Province.

Chen Le was relieved of his duties as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, Standing Committee member, and member of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee, with another appointment pending.

Zhou Chuanjia was relieved from his duties as the Deputy Governor and appointed as a member of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee, Standing Committee, and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee.

Liu Yaowen was decided to be added as a member of the Provincial Committee and Standing Committee.

This series of appointments and removals once again surprised the leadership cadre of Hongjiang Province. At this moment, upon receiving this news, people like Li Youquan, Zhang Zhiqiang, and Liu Junwei all breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, from the current structure of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee, even though Secretary Nie had been transferred, this arrangement meant that their own faction would not suffer too much of a blow.

In comparison to these developments, the personal involvement of Hongjiang Provincial Committee Organization Minister Li Wei in escorting Hong Feng to his new position in Wenchun City was rather quiet and inconspicuous.

As arranged by Nie Zhenbang, in the end, Hong Feng was appointed as a member of the Wenchun City Committee, Standing Committee, and Deputy Mayor of Wenchun City.

Additionally, Dai Fei’s military status was transferred from his guard battalion, and he was reassigned to the Wenchun City Armed Police Force as the commander of the third detachment.

With all these matters settled, Nie Zhenbang’s mind was finally at ease.

The reason why Nie Zhenbang lingered in Hongjiang for nearly a week after the announcement of his transfer and departure was not only because of the need to handle the schooling of his children and some family trivia but more importantly because he wanted to see things settle down.

Nie Zhenbang was well aware of the workings within the system. Until the final moment, nothing could be taken for granted. Having seen occurrences of “capsizing in the gutter”, he wasn’t going to take chances.

Despite his comprehensive considerations for the issues in Hongjiang, and despite the central government’s approval, who could assert with certainty that these were done deals before the official documents were issued?

Now, with everything complete, Nie Zhenbang could finally let go of his worries. It was rare and relaxing for him to unburden himself from any work-related pressure for the first time, sitting on the couch and watching the Hongjiang News Broadcast in its entirety.

On television, Fang Yuanshan had held a plenary meeting at the Provincial Committee Headquarters, reiterating and emphasizing the current situation of economic development and raising new requirements. His call to action centered on the present situation while considering the long-term perspective, increasing the intensity of tourism development and enhancing the development of the tourism industry’s entire supply chain. It wasn’t just about developing tourist destinations; there was also a need to keep pace with complementary services and peripheral products in terms of accommodation, food, clothing, and transport.

This news brought a smile to Nie Zhenbang’s face. Clearly, Fang Yuanshan’s actions were a way of expressing his stance that he would never resort to damaging the environment for economic achievements.

“Is there anything interesting? Now you can say you’ve shed your official duties and feel light,” Anna emerged from the room, dragging a large suitcase behind her.

Having lived in Hongjiang for over two years, it was impossible for them to have no belongings. Anna alone had four suitcases worth of items, and Li Lixue and Dong Wan had nearly as much.

Nie Zhenbang rose to his feet with a chuckle, saying, “Let me handle it. You took care of me when I was busy with work, now that I have some free time, let me serve you.”

Luckily, Li Lixue had already taken the lead a few days prior, using the family’s private jet to take back a considerable amount of luggage to Jingcheng.

In addition, after completing the school transfer procedures for the children, Dong Wan also took the kids back to Jingcheng. At this moment, only Nie Zhenbang and Anna remained. They too would depart from Hongjiang the following morning.

Watching Nie Zhenbang pack, Anna gave him a playful look and joked, “Keep talking. When have you ever been so attentive? You’re destined to be served by us, the maids and mistresses.”

The next morning, early.

The two got out of bed, took two suitcases, and went downstairs where the vehicle provided by the Hongjiang Provincial Committee was already waiting.

“`

The driver saw Nie Zhenbang and An Na exit the residential complex and also opened the car door to greet them, “Secretary Nie, let me take care of that for you.”

Although Nie Zhenbang had already left his position, in Hongjiang Province, the majority of the cadres, including the newly appointed Secretary Fang Yuanshan, still addressed him as Secretary Nie.

“Hehe, thank you,” Nie Zhenbang said without ceremony, handing over the luggage to the driver to put in the trunk.

The car started but did not take the main gate on Construction Avenue; instead, it came out of the back door of the Provincial Committee residential area and circled into the Provincial Committee courtyard.

Seeing this, Nie Zhenbang was momentarily stunned, “Young comrade, let’s head to the airport. There’s no need to stop by the Provincial Committee.”

The driver also turned around at this moment, looking somewhat troubled, “Secretary Nie, Secretary Fang, Governor Qin, and the others have instructed me. They said, we must make a trip to the Provincial Committee before heading to the airport.”

The car stopped at the entrance of the Provincial Committee courtyard. Ahead, below the steps, a group of people gathered. Fang Yuanshan, Qin Guanghan, Huang Wenwei, Xu Hongzhuan, Li Wei, Zhou Chuanjia, Gong Zheng… all thirteen members of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee were present.

Behind them stood all the members of the party group of the Hongjiang Provincial Government. The leaders of various bureaus, along with several municipal leaders, were also standing there.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zhenbang opened the car door, stepped out, and quickened his pace. He shook hands with Fang Yuanshan, “Secretary Fang, this is… too grand, too kind. I really don’t deserve this.”

At this moment, Fang Yuanshan also felt grateful. Nie Zhenbang did not address him as Old Fang or Comrade Yuanshan, which would have been more intimate. Instead, he called him Secretary Fang.

This was Nie Zhenbang sending a message to the others. He was preserving the authority of Fang Yuanshan. How could Fang Yuanshan not be grateful for Nie Zhenbang being so considerate even as he was leaving?

Immediately smiling, he said, “Secretary Nie, it’s only right. We heard you were leaving today, and the comrades all wanted to see you off. After you leave, we may only have the chance to meet once a year during the sessions. I hope Secretary Nie can continue to help and support our work in Hongjiang.”

Nie Zhenbang shook hands and said farewell to everyone. It was then that Xu Hongzhuan looked around, suddenly somewhat shocked. He whispered, “Secretary, look outside.”

This made Nie Zhenbang pause, only to say, “Secretary-General…”

Before he could finish, Nie Zhenbang slapped his forehead and said with a laugh, “Hehe, my apologies, my apologies, comrades. I haven’t quite gotten used to it yet.”

Saying this, Nie Zhenbang smiled, “Comrade Hongzhuan, what’s happening?”

Looking in the direction Xu Hongzhuan was pointing, at that moment, at the entrance of the Provincial Committee courtyard, an unknown number of people had already gathered. Both sides of the road were filled with people, many of whom were holding signs.

“Secretary Nie, the people of Hongjiang thank you.”

“Secretary Nie, a good secretary for the people.”

“Secretary, welcome back to our Tuan Mountain Village.”

…

And so on, various slogans without grandiose or empty words. But they were suffused with the simple and heartfelt emotions of the people. The gratitude and remembrance for Nie Zhenbang were evident at that moment.

Looking at all this, every leader was deeply moved. To be sent off by tens of thousands, reaching such a level as an official, was a kind of achievement in itself.

After a pause, Nie Zhenbang turned to Fang Yuanshan and said, “Secretary Fang, let’s go over and take a look.”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Fang Yuanshan also nodded. He clearly understood that Nie Zhenbang was paving the way for him.

As Nie Zhenbang and Secretary Fang stepped out, the cries of the crowd became louder, “Secretary Nie, please stay!”

“Secretary Nie, don’t leave us.”

Moved by these words, Nie Zhenbang bowed deeply. It was an awkward moment for Fang Yuanshan. Then Nie Zhenbang shouted, “Folks, thank you, thank you. I would also like to stay, but as a public servant of the people and the Party, we must all follow the organization’s arrangements. Wouldn’t you agree?”

At this, Nie Zhenbang pushed Fang Yuanshan forward, smiling, “Folks, this is Secretary Fang. I believe you’re all familiar with him. Before, Secretary Fang and I worked together in the same team. The achievements of Hongjiang not only include my contributions but also those of Secretary Fang. Now, Secretary Fang is taking over my position, and you should be happy. I trust Secretary Fang, the organization trusts him, and you all should trust him even more. Right?”

After a cordial exchange, Nie Zhenbang turned back to enter the car, looking out the window at the people waving goodbye. A touch of sorrow in his heart, he murmured, “Farewell, Hongjiang!”(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation and monthly tickets at Qidian.
