Chapter 628: Chapter 584 Wang Jianhua Visits (Double Update Seeking Monthly Ticket)_1
The sudden news elicited varied reactions from several deputy leaders of the municipal government. Among them, Wang Dongju was the most indifferent, being a deputy and a member of the Democratic Factions, she always refrained from getting involved in the affairs of the Municipal Party Committee.
Soon after, Wang Dongju smiled and said, “Mayor Nie, I will leave first.”
After Wang Dongju left, Hu Jiawang and Wang Jianhua also stated their intention to leave.
Meanwhile, Liu Gaohua and Deng Yihui accompanied Nie Zhenbang into the mayor’s office. After his secretary Li Jupeng poured a cup of tea for Liu Gaohua and Deng Yihui, he tactfully stepped aside.
With Li Taishi’s departure, Liu Gaohua was now fully integrated into Nie Zhenbang’s system within the municipal government. This was quite normal. To Liu Gaohua, Tian Xujian was certainly not an object of allegiance, and his own status was very awkward. Migrating over, there was no guarantee he would gain Tian Xujian’s approval, so, Liu Gaohua had only one path to follow, which was to align himself with Nie Zhenbang.
“Mayor, what’s Tian Xujian trying to do? This is a risky game he’s playing. With the female secretary, this has pushed Tian Xujian right into the storm.” Deng Yihui seemed very relaxed, speaking with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang looked over at Liu Gaohua whose demeanor was also relaxed. Seeing this, Nie Zhenbang sighed. Even Liu Gaohua and Deng Yihui considered Tian Xujian’s move risky. From this perspective, one could say Tian Xujian’s move was correct and quite successful.
It’s no wonder that after Tian Xujian took office, he started stirring up controversies in WangHai. However, before his actions could gain traction, they were shut down by the usually low-key Wal-Mart Group, leaving him utterly discredited. His prestige in WangHai was completely undermined. As a result, officials throughout the city probably took him lightly. This kind of habitual thinking was very dangerous, as evidenced by the identical reactions of Liu Gaohua and Deng Yihui.
Yet, a serious Nie Zhenbang remarked: “This is a good move by Tian Xujian.”
Seeing the two somewhat puzzled faces, Nie Zhenbang laughed and said, “Old Liu, Old Deng, think about it, what is Tian Xujian’s reputation in WangHai now?”
“The suspension of Wanghai New Port forced Tian Xujian to apologize. On the surface, no specific reason was given. However, all the officials in WangHai knew he had been defeated. In WangHai, Tian Xujian has become a laughing stock.” Liu Gaohua began to analyze.
This analysis was very accurate and detailed. Indeed, Tian Xujian’s situation in WangHai was very embarrassing. Not to mention the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the government, even the officials from the lower districts had the attitude of watching a comedy unfold.
A newly appointed Party Secretary, who could not wait to show off after taking office, ended up stepping on a land mine, forcing him to apologize. Among the officials in WangHai, Tian Xujian was now seen as a bumbling official. Whoever would choose to align with him would be a laughing stock.
Nie Zhenbang laughed and looked at Deng Yihui, “Old Deng, you share the same thoughts, right?”
Then, Nie Zhenbang continued, “True, if we only look at the incident of WangHai New Port, Tian Xujian has indeed become a laughing stock. However, when this incident is linked to his decision to hire a female secretary, Tian Xujian stands out he’s not a simple character.”
All the attendees were high-profile officials with superior political awareness and leadership skills. With Nie Zhenbang’s hint,
Liu Gaohua was the first to express his sudden realization, “Mayor, are you suggesting that Tian Xujian chose Li Sha as his secretary on purpose?”
Nie Zhenbang nodded, explaining, “Indeed, from this perspective, it’s clear Tian Xujian is not so easy to deal with.”
At present, Tian Xujian’s prestige had reached an all-time low. Under such circumstances, he could never turn the tide by following regular routines. However, the extraordinary move of hiring a female secretary allowed him to keep the public’s attention. If managed properly, gradually, Tian Xujian would make people see him in a new light. With a few more successful events, he could certainly reverse his declining momentum in the Municipal Party Committee. After all, Tian Xujian was still the Party Secretary, a fact that could not be ignored.
“Not easy to deal with,” said Nie Zhenbang with a sigh. Meanwhile, Liu Gaohua and Deng Yihui also grasped the crux of the matter.
Watching the two men’s grave expressions, Nie Zhenbang also smiled and said, “Haha, Old Liu, Old Deng, there’s no need to worry. We can simply wait and see. In such matters, my consistent attitude is to let things take their natural course. We are not fighting for power for the sake of fighting. As long as Wanghai City’s economic development continues in accordance with our plans, everything else is unimportant. Let Tian Xujian do as he pleases, we don’t need to interfere with him.”
Nie Zhenbang’s words resonated with both Liu Gaohua and Old Deng who nodded in agreement. Mayor Nie’s approach was a classic one: maintain a non-interference attitude regardless of the person or what they do. As long as it doesn’t hinder the city’s economic development, they are free to act as they wish, because their goals are fundamentally different. Tian Xujian’s goal is to control the Wanghai Municipal Party Committee, while Mayor Nie’s goal is to develop Wanghai and lay the foundation for the city’s future development. Completely different concepts. Under such premises, Tian Xujian’s any conspiracy would be ineffective.
After seeing off Liu Gaohua and Deng Yihui, Nie Zhenbang had just sat down at his desk when Li Jupeng came in and whispered, “Mayor, Deputy Mayor Wang is here.”
Li Jupeng’s words left Nie Zhenbang stunned. Wang Jianhua was visiting, which, if his memory served him right, it was Wang Jianhua’s first proactive visit since he took office. It seems that after the incident with Tian Xujian, Wang Jianhua had made some decisions.
Nie Zhenbang had some understanding of Wang Jianhua, and some information about him sprung up in his mind.
Wang Jianhua was not a local cadre born and raised in Minan Province. He was brought over from Qianzhou Province to Minan in an east-west cadre exchange program, and initially served as the deputy director of Pumtou District in Puzhou City.
After two years of temporary assignment, Wang Jianhua didn’t return to his hometown, but stayed and got promoted to the executive deputy director of Pumtou District.
Later, he moved up to become the deputy mayor of Puzhou City, the executive deputy mayor, and finally, the mayor. Wang Jianhua made the leap from the vice-department to department level in less than eight years.
Looking at his career, when Wang Jianhua first came from Qianzhou Province for an exchange, he was already thirty-five years old. In the first eight years, Wang Jianhua transitioned from an ordinary cadre to a vice-department level official. In the subsequent eight years, Wang Jianhua experienced a spectacular transformation. Indeed, he was not an ordinary person.
The more economically developed the region, the more it highlights their own abilities. To Nie Zhenbang, there are three types of officials. The outstanding ones can still achieve good results even in poor areas. Excellent ones, just like Wang Jianhua, can’t do much in impoverished areas but can quickly rise when stationed in a more developed area. The worst kind, even in prosperous areas, they will cause trouble. There’s no need to say more about these people.
Nie Zhenbang then nodded and said, “Please come in.”
Nie Zhenbang rose from his chair, walked to the door, and by a stroke of sheer timing, he arrived at the door just as Wang Jianhua did.
This kind of attitude surprised Wang Jianhua, he then smiled and said: “Mayor Nie, you’re too polite, I am not worthy.”
At this point, Nie Zhenbang chuckled, personally poured a cup of hot tea for Wang Jianhua, then sat on the sofa and said, “Mayor Wang, I’ve heard a lot about you. The construction of tourism and economic development in Puzhou City is so remarkable. Now, since you have been transferred to Wanghai City, much of the pressure on me in these areas has been eased.”
Nie Zhenbang’s words touched Wang Jianhua. It was said that Nie Zhenbang was an unusual person in the officialdom. After a deep conversation with him, Wang Jianhua was refreshed by Nie Zhenbang’s pragmatic attitude. Nie Zhenbang was indeed open-minded, humble, and most importantly, he was ready and willing to delegate power. It’s comfortable to work under such a person; there’s no need for sycophancy, just complete your tasks. He wouldn’t steal credit and political achievements from his subordinates.
Thinking of this, Wang Jianhua pondered for a moment, then respectfully said: “Mayor, I’ve been wanting to visit you since I took office days ago. Finally, I have managed to do so. In our work, we’ll need you to guide us in the overall direction. Rest assured, Mayor, that my strongest quality is execution. If you give me any task, I will definitely complete it without compromise.”
The implication in Wang Jianhua’s words made Nie Zhenbang smile inwardly. It seemed that Wang Jianhua was expressing loyalty to him, declaring his allegiance.
Nie Zhenbang then nodded and said, “Mayor Wang, you’re being too polite. I believe that our cooperation will definitely be successful. Mayor Wang, since you’ve just taken up your position here, if you encounter any difficulties in your work or have any requests in your daily life, feel free to tell me. The organization will do its utmost to guarantee your needs.”
