Ancient City

Today, Ancient City seemed extremely solemn. Early in the morning, at the entrance of the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government office building, located at No. 1 Hucheng Road in Ancient City, a heavy atmosphere was already evident.

Along the courtyard of the entire Longxi Provincial Committee and Provincial Government, on the transparent-style fence, a flagpole was erected every two meters or so. On the flagpoles, colorful flags fluttered.

At the entrance of the courtyard and above the office building of the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government, large red banners were hung up. They warmly welcome Minister Wang Suzhou from the central organization department to visit our province for inspection and guidance. They warmly welcome Secretary Nie Zhenbang to take office in Longxi.

The base of the office building of the Longxi Provincial Committee and Provincial Government was about one meter higher than the sign at the entrance, with steps leading up. In front of the lobby was a slope. Cars could drive directly up and park in front of the lobby so that even in a downpour, you wouldn’t get wet.

At this moment, a gathering of people had formed on the steps. Today was a big day for Longxi Province–the top leader of the Provincial Committee was taking office. With Minister Wang Suzhou from the central organization department personally escorting, no member of the Longxi Provincial Committee team dared to be the least bit negligent.

At the entrance, several members of the Standing Committee grouped together in twos and threes, quietly conversing. They were all talking about the changes in Longxi after Nie Zhenbang took office.

At that moment, the elevator on the left side of the lobby dinged, and a middle-aged man about fifty-three or fifty-four years old with a calm face walked out.

At that time, the other members of the Standing Committee all looked over: “Governor Liu.”

“Governor.”

And so on, such greetings rippled among them. The middle-aged man was the incumbent Deputy Secretary of the Longxi Provincial Committee and Governor Liu Zhentao.

After scanning the crowd, Liu Zhentao nodded in response to their words and glanced at his wristwatch. Liu Zhentao looked up and said, “It’s getting late. I think we should head to Qinyang Airport first.”

…

As the flight from Jingcheng slowly landed at Qinyang Airport, the cabin door opened, and Wang Suzhou emerged at the forefront.

Liu Zhentao had already welcomed him: “Minister Suzhou, welcome, welcome.”

While speaking, Liu Zhentao’s gaze had already shifted beyond Wang Suzhou. At this moment, Wang Suzhou obviously understood what Liu Zhentao was looking for. With a calm smile, he said, “Comrade Zhentao, you needn’t look anymore. Comrade Zhenbang didn’t come with me, he arrived here before me. He should have arrived in Ancient City last night at around eleven. Let’s not delay; shall we proceed to the Provincial Committee together?”

Upon hearing this news, Liu Zhentao’s face showed some astonishment, but after pondering for a moment, he replied with a smile: “Heh, Secretary Zhenbang’s style of doing things is indeed unique. In that case, Minister Suzhou, shall we return to the Provincial Committee first?”

Though Liu Zhentao’s words seemed relaxed and his expression calm, his heart had sunk. What was Nie Zhenbang implying? Coming early… was this a surprise attack?

As the car entered the Longxi Provincial Committee courtyard and stopped at the entrance of the Provincial Committee auditorium, Nie Zhenbang left the steps of the auditorium doorway. He walked towards Wang Suzhou with an open and serene smile: “Minister Suzhou, I arrived a step ahead.”

Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, the attention of the members of the Longxi Province’s Standing Committee was immediately drawn to Nie Zhenbang. Meanwhile, Liu Zhentao also came forward, extending his hand and smiling: “Secretary Nie, welcome, welcome. We had no idea you would arrive early. The province was not able to prepare for your reception; please forgive us.”

Liu Zhentao’s words, while seemingly ordinary and simple, implied certain things between the lines. Of course, Nie Zhenbang could discern the subtlety. Smiling and shaking hands with Liu Zhentao, he said: “Governor Liu, you’re too polite; I hardly deserve such courtesy.”

As personnel announcements and appointments were involved and considering the importance of the matter at hand, the group did not tarry outside any longer.

It was merely a brief exchange between the future top two leaders of Longxi Province, after which Wang Suzhou timely interjected: “Comrades Zhenbang and Zhentao, it’s getting late. I think we should start the meeting.”

Wang Suzhou’s words were carefully chosen. Clearly, everyone could see that Liu Zhentao was slightly dissatisfied. Nie Zhenbang’s unconventional early arrival in Longxi, no matter how it was viewed, seemed like a show of distrust toward the cadres of Longxi Province.

At this time, even though Liu Zhentao’s lips remained sealed, his actions spoke louder, subtly undermining others. Everyone understood the implications of his words. If left unchecked, not only would it delay important matters, but it would also harm Nie Zhenbang. This would offend the entire standing committee leadership. Wasn’t he just causing trouble for himself?

Upon hearing Wang Suzhou’s words, the expressions on many faces changed momentarily, casting meaningful glances at Nie Zhenbang. Clearly, everyone perceived Wang Suzhou’s speech as a form of support for Secretary Nie.

Furthermore, historically within the domestic system, the top leader from Longxi had never been admitted to the central committee. Domestically, among the provincial and municipal leadership, generally six regions have leaders who are part of the central committee. The four municipalities directly under the Central Government, Yuedong, and the Xibei Autonomous Region included.

Now that Nie Zhenbang had joined the central committee as the head of the Longxi Provincial Committee, this broke a record and a convention, which all the members of the Longxi Provincial Committee had to consider.

When Liu Zhentao heard Wang Suzhou’s words, there was no significant change in his facial expression. With a calm smile, he nodded slightly and said, “Minister Suzhou is right. Minister Suzhou, Secretary Nie, please come in. All comrades from the province can hardly wait.”

Wang Suzhou walked at the front, with Nie Zhenbang right behind him, side by side. This scene surprised the officials of Longxi Province immensely. The support for Secretary Nie from above was evident.

Typically, Secretary Nie and Minister Suzhou were both central committee members, and as such, on equal footing within the Party.

However, Wang Suzhou was the head of a central key core ministry, a status that was undeniable. In name, the appointment and turnover of the first and second leaders of the provinces and cities were in the hands of Wang Suzhou. Normally, a half-step back was considered appropriate, but now, walking side by side indicated many underlying issues.

As the provincial committee’s leadership team entered, over a thousand seated leaders within the Longxi Provincial Committee Auditorium stood up. The hall erupted in thunderous applause, and every official saluted as the leaders passed by.

The banner was hung high above the stage, beneath which red tablecloths were spread. Without flowers or plants, the tables were simply adorned with neatly arranged small bottled water.

After taking their respective places on the stage, Liu Zhentao unexpectedly walked to the host’s position.

This move further revealed Liu Zhentao’s character. No wonder it was said that Minister Suzhou had warned that Liu Zhentao was not one to be taken lightly. A person with such a desire for control naturally would not be easy to get along with.

“Next, I would like to invite Minister Wang Suzhou of the Central Organization Department to read the central government’s decision.”

Liu Zhentao’s statement was concise and to the point, devoid of any superfluous words, and cut straight to the heart of the matter.

This took Nie Zhenbang by surprise. If Liu Zhentao were as straightforward inside and out, that wouldn’t be so bad. Nie Zhenbang wasn’t afraid of someone who didn’t beat around the bush. Such people, once you have their measure, are easy to deal with.

At this moment, Wang Suzhou also stood up and, clearing his throat, said, “After careful consideration and study by the central government, and taking into account Comrade Hu Shangzhi’s health issues, it has been decided to relieve Comrade Hu Shangzhi of his duties as Secretary, Standing Committee member, and Committee member of the Longxi Provincial Committee.”

“Comrade Hu Shangzhi’s work in Longxi Province is certainly commendable…”

Wang Suzhou went on to give a fair evaluation and summary of Hu Shangzhi’s work in Longxi. Normally, this would include a resignation speech by Hu Shangzhi, but given his health problems, that part was naturally omitted.

Wang Suzhou continued, “It is decided to appoint Comrade Nie Zhenbang as a member, Standing Committee member, and Secretary of the Longxi Provincial Committee. Comrade Nie Zhenbang, born in ’70 from Yanbei Tang City, entered Jingcheng University’s Chinese Department in ’86. After graduating in ’90, he served as a youth league cadre, and in ’91 was transferred to serve as the deputy county head of Xinli County in Bazhou City, Xibei Autonomous Region… The central government’s decision to have Comrade Nie Zhenbang oversee Longxi Provincial Committee’s work is the result of careful consideration and thorough study. We also believe that Comrade Nie Zhenbang will certainly do well in managing the work of Longxi Province.”

After introducing Nie Zhenbang’s career history and summarizing it, Wang Suzhou looked at him with a smile and said, “Comrade Zhenbang, why don’t you say a few words.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang subtly nodded his head to Wang Suzhou, acknowledging him, and stood up amidst the roaring applause, deeply bowed, and then said with a smile, “I appreciate Minister Suzhou’s high praises, the warm applause from comrades, and the sincere welcome from the entire provincial committee team. I’d like to say a few words.”

Nie Zhenbang’s voice was loud and clear, his speech crisp and lucid, with no beating around the bush. His enunciation was distinct and carried a resonant tone, which instantly commanded the attention of all the leaders present.

“First and foremost, I firmly support the central government’s decision and will unconditionally comply with the organizational arrangements. I feel extremely honored to come to Longxi Province and work with everyone. As the saying goes, ‘Idle talk leads nations astray, while diligent work makes a country thrive.’ These words were spoken by President Qiao at the beginning of his term, and I find them to be very good, very solid. At the same time, I have always upheld this work style and attitude. I am possibly unfamiliar and not well understood by everyone here, but I hope that, in our future work together, we can adapt to and understand one another. I am not one for empty talk or cliches, and I dare not promise what I might bring to the people and officials of the whole province. However, I do want to say that with the presence of the comrades in this room, Longxi Province will undoubtedly become even more glorious and splendid. Thank you, everyone.”

The words had barely faded when the room fell silent. At that moment, everyone seemed stunned. What, was that the end of the speech? That was remarkably succinct.(To be continued.
