Chapter 413: Chapter 396 Fan Changsheng’s Counterattack_1
After the unpleasant gathering with Fan Changsheng, Nie Zhenbang didn’t put much thought into it. He always abides by his principles, and while he may be ruthless in achieving his goals, he is not willing to go against his own principles.
Looking at the documents on the table, ever since the Textile Group was established, Huang Jiangsheng has shown somepetency, for example, by hiring arge number of sales staff. Jiangbei Province and Jiangnan Province are already developed regions for clothing industry. Upon understanding the fabric needs of these clothing factories, the Textile Group, with its strong production foundation and capacity, has signed many contracts. Everything in the Textile Group is on the right track. However, the Textile Group proposes a path of specialized development and held a shareholders meeting for the real estate development work. By unanimous consent, it was agreed that the development would be handled by anotherpany, however, ensuring the housing arrangement for the relocated residents and meeting the housing needs of the employees within the Textile Group is a must.
The document finally arrived at Nie Zhenbang’s desk, reading the fewrge characters annotated by Shi Hongbo on the document: “Please review, Mayor Zhenbang.” Nie Zhenbang couldn’t help but chuckle.
Shi Hongbo was certainly capable, but he was also too smooth. He could have made a final decision as the mayor in charge of this matter, yet he pushed it to Nie Zhenbang. Thus, Nie Zhenbang took his pen and made a note on the side: ‘Respect the decision of the Textile Group shareholders’ meeting. Agree with the Textile Group’s n. Signed, Nie Zhenbang.’
He set the document aside and picked up another one. Just then, Yi Jun walked in, holding a document, which he put on the desk, and said, “Mayor, this is the material sent from the municipal partymittee’s office. Please review some of the issues to be discussed at the routine standingmittee meeting tomorrow morning.”
He took the documents and Yi Jun exited the room. The entire document was only two pages long with the front detailing some abstract matters, like learning from Comrade Shen Yanshuo’s speech at the sixth meeting of the Provincial Party Committee,prehensively advancing the process of a well-off society in Liangxi City, and so on. Nie Zhenbang roughly reviewed the content and flipped the page. But upon seeing the second page, his brow furrowed. The first issue was about Huang Junshan’s retirement, the second, surprisingly, was about the personnel discussion on promoting Lu Wu, the District Secretary of Guicheng District, to the position of deputy department-level cadre of the Municipal Party Committee.
Nie Zhenbang didn’t expect Fan Changsheng to move so quickly, forcing Huang Junshan into retirement. If Huang Junshan were to retire before any incident urred, following the convention, Lei Dingguo would have to back down. If he didn’t, the responsibility and pressure Lei Dingguo would have to bear would be much greater, since it would involve breaking national, not just Liangxi City’s, conventions. Under such pressure, Lei Dingguo would have no choice but to back down.
The second issue was even more apparent, it was directly targeting him. The position of deputy department-level cadre may sound prestigious, but everyone knew it was nothing more than a position to idle around in until retirement. Even though the rank was high, the real power was vastly different from that of a department-level official in Guicheng District. Moreover, after this, Lu Wu’s career was essentially at its end.
What’s more important is that Lu Wu’s existence was rted to his ns for the reconstruction of the old city. This was the vital point. He could be certain that Fan Changsheng must have heard some rumors, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a perfectly targeted move.
Nie Zhenbang immediately picked up the phone and dialed: “Mayor Xintian, do you have time tonight? Could we get together? Right, invite Secretary Lei and Comrade Kaibao as well.”

The regr standingmittee meeting was held as scheduled in the small meeting room of the Liangxi City Committee the next morning. At this moment, all the standingmittee members had different mindsets.
Huang Junshan lost his former demeanor, his eyes shed with vengeance and resentment when he saw Lei Dingguo.
Fan Changsheng sat at the head of the oval conference table, with Nie Zhenbang on his left and Zhu Zhuozhen on his right. Nie Zhenbang and Zhu Zhuozhen were sitting directly opposite each other.
After a moment of contemtion, Fan Changsheng cleared his throat and said loudly, “Comrades, recently, a lot of things have happened in Liangxi City. These events have made national, even international headlines. This standingmittee meeting has the fullest attendance so far. At the sixth meeting of the provincial partymittee, Secretary Yanshuo emphasized again that we should seize the current opportunity to actively attract foreign investment and be innovative under the favorable current circumstances. As the city with the strongest economy in our province, Liangxi City must put attracting investment first. We need to liberate our thoughts, go out, bring in, and I believe, we can consider linking investment attraction to performance evaluation. This would increase the enthusiasm of the majority of leading cadres.”
After a long speech, Fan Changsheng took a sip of his tea and continued, “This time, we mainly discuss two matters. Firstly, Minister Huang from the organizational department came to me and asked for early retirement. I know Minister Huang well; he is diligent andw-abiding, very disciplined, and principled, such cadres are rare. However, considering his health, I understand his desire to retire early. Considering that Minister Huang is under the provincial jurisdiction, I suggest that the municipal partymittee should discuss this first, formte a resolution, and then report it to the organizational department of the Provincial Party Committee.”
