Chapter 753: Chapter 709: Gentlemanly Governor_1
Like most locales, the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government share a common office building. They use the same office tower.
The entire office building of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government covers an extremely large area. It is located at No. 1, Red Flag Avenue in Tianfu City. This is the development zone of Tianfu City, and Red Flag Avenue is a newly built two-way ten-lane road. It can be regarded as the widest urban street in Tianfu City.
At the entrance of the Provincial Party Committee and Government, there is a lawn square of about 20,000 square meters. The lawn uses imported German grass seeds and is a mixture of ryegrass, bermudagrass, and tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, and roman. In this way, it can ensure that the lawn maintains a green color at any time.
In the middle of the square is a metal sculpture about fifteen meters high. An abstract human figure looks upward, representing the vigorous cultural spirit of Bashu Province.
Surrounding the sculpture is an elliptical music fountain. Artificial water channels extend along this fountain, winding and rugged. At both ends of the square are two irregular ponds.
Behind the square is a fifteen-story office building of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government with a width of 240 meters. In front of the main entrance, twelve marble pillars soar upward, extending to the height of ten floors. The whole building is imposing. In the center, the bright national emblem is eye-catching. On both sides of the pillars, there is a five-story signboard. On the left, the characters “Bashu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Huaxia” are written in red, while on the right, it says “Bashu Provincial People’s Government.”
...
About a hundred meters to the right of the building, there is a six-story cubic building, which is the logistics center of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Government.

A hundred meters to the left, precisely mirrored, is a similarly styled building, which is the Bashu Provincial Party Committee Auditorium, the destination of Nie Zhenbang and his entourage this time.
After the delegation disembarked from their vehicles, naturally at the center stood Minister Shi Jiandong. As the central leader, Shi Jiandong was there by duty. To the left of Shi Jiandong was Zeng Taiping, and Nie Zhenbang stood on the right of Shi Jiandong at the moment.
The other members of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Government team automatically followed the three based on their respective positions.
Such positioning doesn’t need explicit arrangement. With five thousand years of cultural heritage, this kind of hierarchical distinction has long been ingrained in the bones of every Huaxia person.
The three-meter-tall, two-and-a-half-meter-wide heavy door slowly swung open. At the moment, the Provincial Party Committee Auditorium, which can accommodate more than two thousand people, was filled to capacity. The 20 municipal governments of Bashu Province, plus Tianfu City, and the 62 departments of the Provincial Party Committee and Government, each had representation. The total number of units was eighty-three, amounting to over two thousand five hundred people—the entire province’s leadership above the division level was seated.
With the opening of the door, every cadre in the auditorium voluntarily stood up. Everyone, standing sideways, saluted Shi Jiandong and his group. There was also warm applause in the auditorium.
In the middle of the auditorium, the stage had temporarily been arranged as a podium. Four rows were set aside solely for the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee, the government as well as the People’s Congress and the Political Consultative Conference leaders.
Right above the podium, a large red banner was hung high. The banner’s vivid lettering was striking: “Bashu Province Leadership Cadre Conference.”
Under the guidance of Zeng Taiping, everyone took their seats at the podium. At this moment, Lu Qingyu, Secretary-General of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee, took the stage as the master of ceremonies.
“Respected Minister Shi Jiandong, leaders, comrades, good morning. Today, we are full of hope and warmth… While we celebrate the successful convening of the national “Two Sessions,” we welcome the provincial leadership conference in our province. First, I request Minister Shi Jiandong to announce the Central Committee’s decisions on appointments and dismissals.”
As Lu Qingyu’s words fell, Shi Jiandong, who was seated in the center of the first row of the podium, got up. There was a microphone placed in front of each leader on the podium. Next to it was the lighting and sound control room of the Provincial Party Committee Auditorium. Through it, every leader could give a speech without having to leave their seat.
After bowing slightly to the audience, Shi Jiandong sat down and started saying, “On behalf of the Central Committee, and after careful consideration by the Central Committee, it was decided to appoint Comrade Nie Zhenbang as member, standing member, deputy secretary of Bashu Provincial Committee. He is also to be appointed as the Deputy Governor, acting Governor of the Bashu Provincial People’s Government, and nominated as candidate for Governor.”
After a pause, Shi Jiandong continued, “Comrade Nie Zhenbang, male, born in 1970, holds a master’s degree in economics from Jingcheng University. He is a party member. Since he started working in 1990, Comrade Nie Zhenbang has worked in the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, participated in the formulation and evaluation of the national youth civilization number. He has been appointed as the deputy county head in Lixian County of the Xibei Autonomous Region… and later transferred to become deputy party secretary and mayor of Liangxi City in Jiangbei Province… During his tenure as the deputy party secretary and mayor of Wanghai City, he achieved noteworthy results.”
The words of Shi Jiandong were basically routine, thoroughly introducing the resume and achievements of Nie Zhenbang to the leaders of Bashu Province. Finally, he concluded: “Comrade Nie Zhenbang, in his sixteen-year career, has created the nationally renowned miracles of Lixian and WangHai. He pioneered the Three Public Expense Regulations in the country. He made outstanding contributions to the Party and the country, creating a happy life for the vast masses of people. Letting comrade Nie Zhenbang take up the post of Deputy Secretary of the Bashu Provincial Committee is a decision made by the central government after careful deliberation. We have reason to believe that, under the leadership of Comrade Nie Zhenbang, the Bashu Provincial Government will surely achieve greater brilliance.”
When Shi Jiandong’s voice fell, thunderous applause immediately erupted in the auditorium, these were heartfelt compliments. At this moment, regardless of their faction and mindset, over two thousand five hundred leading cadres present expressed the warmest welcome to Nie Zhenbang’s arrival.
At this moment, Lu Qingyu raised both of his hands to signal silence. Then he opened his mouth and said: “Next, please let the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zeng Taiping, speak.”
Zeng Taiping had no objections to Nie Zhenbang’s arrival. Putting aside the fact that Nie Zhenbang is the son of Nie Guowei, even if he were a total stranger, Zeng Taiping would not take any drastic action in the first encounter.
On the one hand, it’s not clear whether friends or enemies, rashly establishing an enemy is not the level of maturity a politically adept cadre should have. Zeng Taiping would naturally never do such idiotic things.
As Lu Qingyu’s words faded, Zeng Taiping adjusted his body slightly, smiling he said, “Respected Minister Shi Jiandong, all comrades. I fully support the arrival of Governor Zhenbang. Just now, as Minister Shi introduced, I believe everyone has gained a preliminary understanding of Governor Zhenbang. Such a strong leadership team in the provincial government is something I’ve always dreamed of. Bashu Province is an economically underdeveloped area in our country. As an old saying goes, ‘the road to Sichuan is tougher than climbing to the sky.’ Transportation is a major obstacle hindering our province’s economic development. Now that the Central Government has transferred Governor Zhenbang here, it fully demonstrates the Central Government’s attention to and support for our province’s work. I believe, in our province’s development, Comrade Zhenbang can surely lead the province’s leading cadres in creating a new miracle.”
Zeng Taiping’s words made many people on the stage ponder. With Secretary Taiping so openly expressing support for Nie Zhenbang, this attitude naturally attracted the attention of others.
Next, according to the procedure of the meeting, Nie Zhenbang would naturally deliver his inauguration speech.
Originally, Ju Peng and his team had prepared the speech. However, at this point, Nie Zhenbang decided not to use it.
From the moment Nie Zhenbang set foot on Bashu Province’s land, he felt a unique atmosphere. Looking at Zeng Taiping’s attitude, it was very polite, but his words implied a certain degree of arrogance, as if warning him what should and should not be done.
Additionally, the attitude of the Executive Deputy Governor, his old classmate Sun Jialuo, was worth pondering. It could be determined that Sun Jialuo’s mood was not as optimistic and relaxed as it appeared at the moment.
Given these circumstances, Nie Zhenbang decided not to use the prepared speech. This was entirely impromptu. Ju Peng’s speechwriting was quite excellent, aptly grasping the central policy and the characteristics of the times. It not only showed his ambition as the newly appointed governor but also showed full respect for the leaders of Bashu Province.
However, if the situation hadn’t changed, it would indeed be a good article. But now? After Zeng Taiping’s rhetoric, saying the same thing would seem bland.
In Nie Zhenbang’s understanding, this time, this is his first appearance in Bashu Province. He wouldn’t do anything drastic, but if he lost his features, the appearance would undoubtedly be a failure. Therefore, Nie Zhenbang was also preparing to switch up his approach.
Standing up, with a reserved and scholarly demeanor, he slightly bowed then sat down, smiling he said: “First of all, Minister Shi Jiandong read the central government’s resolution and delivered an important speech. Personally, I resolutely obey the organization’s resolution and fully endorse the central government’s decision. Speaking for myself, I am very happy to work, live, and learn with everyone in Bashu. Before coming, I heard about the spiciness of Bashu Province, famous worldwide. This time, when I set foot on the land of Bashu Province, I genuinely felt the spiciness in the zeal.”
This sentence immediately won warm applause from the entire hall, because after the first sentence that was formulaic and conventional, the following words were interpreted by the provincial cadres. The new young governor didn’t play by the rules.
Some official jargon on some policies was not repeated in the same old way. This was precisely what aroused the interest of everyone present.
Next, Nie Zhenbang’s scholarly performance, frequently quoting classics, eloquent in many ways, not only summed up the advantages of Bashu, but also fully expressed his confidence and determination. This move also impressed the leading cadres present.
The reputation of the Scholarly Governor was quickly rooted in people’s hearts. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
