November in Longxi had gradually become cold, and several snowfalls had already occurred. Nie Zhenbang’s return to Longxi was quiet and unceremonious. No special reception was arranged. The entire process was conducted silently and without fanfare.

This was also in line with the central government’s call and President Qiao’s spirit. After President Qiao took office, he had made it clear that even during state visits, in public occasions, any pomp and ceremony regarding welcomes and send-offs were strictly prohibited.

Where necessary, they would generally use a military airport for departures, just like it was this time at South Suburban Airport. Even so, the send-off was strictly controlled. This pragmatic work attitude and style naturally influenced the entire grass-roots level.

Following his return flight from America, Nie Zhenbang didn’t linger in Jingcheng. He had already made enough public appearances. During this accompanying visit, Nie Zhenbang, as the only local leader in the entire delegation, brought particular attention to the exchanges between Longxi Province and some foreign localities. This was evident from the national television news reports.

In addition, an exclusive interview with “Times” and his speech at the Kennedy School of Government had undoubtedly propelled Nie Zhenbang onto the world stage.

Everything has its limits, including media exposure. As for what national objectives President Qiao had for this visit, Nie Zhenbang did not dare to speculate. However, he had made the necessary impression and achieved his goals.

Now, what Nie Zhenbang needed was not exposure, but to keep a low profile. To settle down and gradually recede from the public eye, and to do his work well on the ground in Longxi Province. This was the most appropriate response.

Just after he returned to the provincial committee’s guest house in Longxi Province, there was a knock on the door. Upon opening it, he found Liu Zhentao, Liu Xiaomin, and the Director of Publicity Li Hongying had all come.

“Heh, you all are quite informed, knowing that I have just returned,” Nie Zhenbang said with a laugh.

After the three of them entered, Nie Zhenbang nodded in greeting and said with a smile, “Please sit down. I’ve just returned, and your news is incredibly timely. No sooner had I stepped through the door than you arrived.”

Liu Xiaomin also said with a smile, “Secretary, are you criticizing me? As the Secretary-General and the major steward of the provincial committee, there are no trifles around the leadership. Serving the leadership and handling the logistics is my duty. Just as you entered the building, Deputy Director Wen of the reception office called me. My intelligence work is not to be taken lightly.”

Liu Xiaomin’s humorous remark made everyone laugh, and Nie Zhenbang also chuckled, “Good job, Comrade Xiaomin. You’ve arranged for spies, I see.”

Li Hongying added with a smile, “Secretary, the Secretary-General is skilled enough to do security work.”

After the joking, Nie Zhenbang turned serious and looked at Liu Zhentao next to him, “Comrade Zhentao, how are the arrangements for the automotive city project foundation-laying ceremony coming along?”

At Nie Zhenbang’s inquiry, Liu Zhentao smiled and said, “Secretary, that’s precisely why we came over–to report about this matter to you.”

After pausing. Liu Zhentao continued, “Because we postponed the foundation-laying ceremony, the preparations are now even more thorough. At present, representatives from Huaxia Group and LT Investment Group Company have already arrived in Longxi. The preliminary plan is to go to Liangzhou City on the morning of November 17th. The ceremony will officially take place at 10:08 a.m. on November 18th. Tomorrow night, Liangzhou City will host a grand cultural evening in collaboration with the provincial publicity department. At that time, the crew from the national ‘Chinese Sentiments’ program will be in Liangzhou.”

Hearing Liu Zhentao’s report, Nie Zhenbang nodded in satisfaction. Such arrangements were unexpected yet delightful. Having the national television as a platform was an excellent opportunity for promotion. The ‘Chinese Sentiments’ crew from the national network coming over would not only promote the automotive city but also offer a comprehensive showcase of Longxi Province’s spirit and culture.

Then, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “That’s good. To be able to make such detailed and meticulous arrangements in such a short time shows that the preparation team is very dedicated. The publicity department is doing its job well. While we focus on economic development, we can’t neglect the construction of spiritual civilization. This approach is excellent.”

“`

Speaking of this, Nie Zhenbang’s gaze had already turned toward Liu Xiaomin next to him, “Comrade Xiaomin, I think we can set the schedule like this. In terms of specific arrangements, it will be up to you.”

As the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, Liu Xiaomin was responsible for the services of the leadership, including scheduling these matters, all of which required the assistance of the Provincial Party Committee Office.

Over the following days, Nie Zhenbang’s work schedule was very standard. On the morning of the fifteenth, Nie Zhenbang visited the construction site of the old city renovation project in Ancient City once again. He went deep into the front lines to check on the progress and construction of the project.

After the bidding ended, the shantytown renovation project in Ancient City also quickened its pace. With funds smoothly in place, all related works had also been simultaneously initiated. Right next to the ring road main thoroughfare, a large real estate project covering over five hundred acres had already started. A large amount of demolition work in the shantytown area had been completed, and the surrounding walls were already built. Plenty of construction equipment had been brought in.

In addition, all eleven municipal transportation reconstruction projects had started. With the shortest taking three months and the longest taking eight months, parts of the southern and northern districts of Ancient City, which used to be the most disordered and dirty areas, would transform into something akin to a new city.

On the sixteenth, Nie Zhenbang received Chen Xuan Ran, the newly appointed Secretary of the Linzhou Municipal Party Committee, in his office. This time, Chen Xuan Ran had come specially to express his gratitude. During the standing committee meeting, if it wasn’t for Secretary Nie’s attitude, Chen Xuan Ran understood that it would have been impossible for him to overcome this hurdle. As a prefectural city’s Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Chen Xuan Ran naturally knew that to do well in Longxi Province, being diligent and practical was one aspect, while maintaining contact with Secretary Nie and reporting thoughts was indispensable.

Chen Xuan Ran reported on the current situation of Linzhou City, including the morale of officials and the public after the Lingxiao Coal Mine incident, among other matters.

Nie Zhenbang also nodded slowly, feeling that choosing Chen Xuan Ran was indeed not a mistake. The man was familiar with the situation in Linzhou City and was capable at work. Linzhou City had stabilized so quickly, thanks in part to his efforts. After a moment of thought, Nie Zhenbang also spoke up, “Linzhou City is rich in coal resources that are easy to mine with excellent coal quality. These are Linzhou’s advantages. Currently, Linzhou’s development must not shy away from addressing its problems. The development in this area must not be halted due to one Lingxiao Coal Mine incident. In the next step of work, we still need to strengthen the exploration of energy resources. Let Linzhou keep up with the pace of the entire province.”

Chen Xuan Ran was extremely respectful, appearing very sincere while taking notes in a notebook as Nie Zhenbang spoke. A leader’s instructions must not be taken lightly, as a good memory is no match for a bad pen. Being cautious is always the right approach.

After listening to Nie Zhenbang’s words, Chen Xuan Ran also nodded and said, “Secretary, your words are clear and to the point, and they have shown us the way forward. I now feel brimming with confidence. After returning, I will definitely follow your instructions and delve into Linzhou’s advantages in mineral resources. I will not let down the expectations of you and the organization.”

…

On November 17th, Nie Zhenbang and his delegation went to Liangzhou City, accompanied by provincial leaders such as Liu Zhentao, Chen Zhewen, Liu Xiaomin, and Li Hongying. At the Liangzhou Municipal Committee, they listened to the work report of Yang Yicheng, Secretary of the Liangzhou Municipal Party Committee, and learned about the planning and layout of the automobile city project.

In the afternoon, they visited the Liangzhou City Industrial Park, and in the evening, at Liangzhou Square, a grand cultural evening was officially performed. Through Longxi TV and other units, over a hundred stars from across the country gathered, truly a dazzling assembly, which marked a good beginning for the foundation of the automobile city.

The next morning, in the Liangzhou City Economic Development Zone, over a thousand acres of newly requisitioned land had basically completed the infrastructure of “three connections and one leveling.” In front of the completed podium, representatives from the Huaxia Group and LT Investment Group Company together, amid the sound of gongs, drums, and fireworks, formally laid the foundation for the automobile city project. Nie Zhenbang picked up a shovel and dug out the first spade of soil.

With the official start of the automobile city, it also signified that amidst the national uproar over the competition for automobile city projects, Longxi Province ultimately emerged as the big winner. At the same time, the Provincial Department of Commerce and Liangzhou Municipal Government together were planning to launch a national investment campaign around the automobile city project. It was foreseeable that the entire Liangzhou would welcome a peak in investments.

The layout of the entire industry chain surrounding automobile manufacturing, from upstream raw material production and supply to the design of complete vehicles and the production of auto parts, would be fully expanded, potentially forming an industry chain worth tens if not hundreds of billions. This would play an incredibly important role in the industrial layout of the entire Longxi.

In the afternoon, Nie Zhenbang and his entourage drove back to Ancient City.

In the car, Nie Zhenbang and Liu Zhentao sat together. As the car was nearing Ancient City, secretary Xia Gang approached from behind, bowed slightly, and said, “Secretary, there’s something I’d like to report to you. There is a very important message on your official Weibo account. Below, we didn’t dare to respond on our own initiative, so we passed it up to you.” (To be continued.
