Chapter 835 -791: Playing Tricks on Me

Changhong City

Nie Zhenbang arrived at Changhong City yesterday afternoon at around three o’clock. At the toll station exit of the Tianchang Expressway in Changhong City, the leaders of Changhong City’s four major teams were all present to welcome him.

However, Xu Aiguo, as a person, was very discerning in terms of protocol. He had a full grasp of Nie Zhenbang’s preferences and, in the matter of protocol, managed to leave Nie Zhenbang without half a complaint.

Xu Aiguo was guarding against himself; Nie Zhenbang was very clear about this. But at the moment, Nie Zhenbang didn’t pay too much attention to it. As long as Xu Aiguo didn’t cause him any trouble, he could tolerate his presence.

In the afternoon, he specifically listened to the work report of Changhong City in the Municipal Party Committee meeting room. In the evening, Nie Zhenbang also directly declined the banquet invitation from Changhong City and went to rest early.

Morning

Nie Zhenbang practiced his boxing with great ease and felt somewhat invigorated. The small guesthouse of the Changhong Municipal Party Committee had an excellent environment. The decades-old house didn’t feel run-down at all after renovations and adjustments, giving off an antique charm instead.

Standing in the courtyard, he could see from afar Sun Jialuo and Fang Yuan walking towards him with grim expressions. Nie Zhenbang picked up his clothes and after dressing, watched the two men enter the courtyard. He paused before saying, “Old Sun, Old Fang, why do you look like this? Is it the matter at Xingzhou City?”

Old Sun nodded and said in a deep voice, “Governor, a major incident has occurred. Last night, in Tianfu City, a fire broke out at the headquarters of the Huazhi Steel Group. Half of the office building was burned down, including the most important finance room, archives room, and the engineering department.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang suddenly stood up. His expression became grave; the Huazhi Steel Group had been burned down. The speed and decisiveness of these people far exceeded his estimates. With this turn of events, all clues had vanished.

Next to him, Fang Yuan also said, “Additionally, news has come from both Xingzhou City and Tianfu City. The case has reached a conclusion; the issue with the flood dike was led by the project supervisor of the engineering department of the Huazhi Steel Group’s Xingzhou City flood dike. This person has surrendered himself to the authorities this morning. Also, the illegally obtained two hundred million in funds have all been returned.”

Sacrifice the pawn to save the castle—that was the only phrase Nie Zhenbang could think of at the moment. It was clear that the other party had made all the necessary preparations. Unbeknownst to him, he had been completely outmaneuvered.

It was certain that these people were well prepared, and there would be no evidence or leverage against the lower-level individuals; the only thing that could be traced to Huazhi Steel Group was the quality of the work. Now, a scapegoat had been presented. Even if he wanted to investigate further, it was not possible at this time.

Thinking this, Nie Zhenbang became somewhat annoyed, daring to play such underhanded tricks in front of him. They truly didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Did they really think they could escape the law like this? Since you’re not playing by the rules, don’t blame me if I don’t act fairly and take advantage of my position.

After pausing, Nie Zhenbang waved his hand and said, “Given the circumstances, I think Comrade Bo Jun must have a solid plan, so we will not interfere. However, Old Sun, keep a close watch on these two hundred million in funds, and be sure to immediately return them to the account of Xingzhou City and urgently begin the reconstruction of the Xingzhou City flood dike.”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, the two men were somewhat astonished, with Fang Yuan standing there dumbfounded, not quite comprehending. He asked in confusion, “Governor, what do you mean by this?”

This expression earned him a glare from Nie Zhenbang, who spoke irritably, “What’s that look for, Old Fang? Since everything is already clear and the facts are evident with ample justification, I have even less reason to cling to the matter.”

As he spoke, Nie Zhenbang stood up and said, “Alright, don’t dwell on this matter anymore. Have you had breakfast yet? If not, I’ll ask Ju Peng to bring some for you.”

After breakfast in the living room, Xu Aiguo and Huang Zhenqiu had already arrived. Outside, a business car was parked. After everyone got into the car, this time, two minibuses formed a convoy to the old town district of Changhong City.

Changhong City, as one of the main industrial bases in Bashu Province, already had four or five military factories congregated there. In terms of area, the old town of Changhong City is comparable to that of Tianfu City.

The convoy stopped in the family quarter of the Hongfei Group. The Hongfei Group is a pivotal state-owned company directly under the central government in Changhong City, with annual tax payments exceeding three billion.

Under the Hongfei banner, a variety of household appliances such as televisions, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., are bestsellers nationwide. The predecessor of Hongfei Group was the military’s 5137586 factory, which specialized in producing radar and other electronic equipment and products for the military. After the transition from military to civilian production, the 5137586 factory was joined by several other military factories in Changhong City to form the Hongfei Group, becoming one of the leading enterprises in the domestic home appliance manufacturing industry.

As a centrally administered state-owned enterprise, the chairman of Hongfei Group also holds a vice-ministerial level position. This is actually half a level higher than the Party Secretary of Changhong City.

At this moment, at the entrance of the old factory area of Hongfei Group, the company’s leadership was also solemnly arrayed, waiting here.

On the open ground at the factory entrance, dragon dancers, lion dancers, and senior citizens’ waist drum teams had long been organized and were prepared for their performance.

As Nie Zhenbang and his party got out of the car, the scene immediately erupted with enthusiasm, and several hostesses dressed in cheongsams offered flowers to Nie Zhenbang and his entourage.

Xu Aiguo was now introducing someone at the side, “Governor, this is Mister Zhao Zhuobin, the chairman of Hongfei Group Co., Ltd.”

Nie Zhenbang’s face was calm at the moment, with a trace of indifferent smile, Xu Aiguo, this person, was actually playing tricks with him too.

Hongfei Group, what kind of company is it? It can be said that in the entire Bashu Province, except for a few large liquor groups and Huazhi Steel Group, it belongs to Hongfei Group. A centrally administered state enterprise. Almost half of the urban area of Changhong City is supported by Hongfei Group.

The entire Hongfei Group, with its employees alone, has no less than eighty thousand people. If family members are also included, excluding a portion that consists of dual-income families, these eighty thousand employees have at least one hundred thousand family members. One hundred and eighty thousand people. If this were elsewhere, it would be considered a small city.

Moreover, with such a good performance by Hongfei Group, even though it’s in the old city area, it should be led by Hongfei Group when it comes to the transformation. The Changhong City Municipal Party Committee and city government should assist from the side. This is the most correct way. Now, Xu Aiguo, instead of focusing on the transformation of Changhong City’s urban villages and shantytowns, has included Hongfei Group as the main target for transformation. This is putting the cart before the horse.

Zhao Zhuobin approached with a smile at the moment, extending his hand, and said, “Governor, welcome, welcome, thank you for coming to inspect and guide our company.”

Nie Zhenbang smiled lightly, nodding slightly, “Director Zhao, no need for formalities. Hongfei Group is a key enterprise in our province, a major taxpayer. Looking at Hongfei Group’s residential district, the houses are orderly, greenery and sanitation as well as all aspects of the work are so excellent, I’m very pleased. The dragon and lion dances and the cultural life of the elderly are also very well organized.”

This remark, while seemingly a compliment, at the moment, made the atmosphere somewhat eerie. Beside him, Huang Zhenqiu also had a moment of realization, and the look in his eyes towards Xu Aiguo at his side also became much more profound.

Without realizing it, he had been played by Xu Aiguo, lured by the big pie chart of political accomplishments that Xu had painted.

After a pause, Huang Zhenqiu’s thoughts turned, and he also smiled and approached, saying, “Governor, wise words. Hongfei Group has always been the pillar enterprise and major taxpayer of our city. City municipal projects and infrastructure construction have benefited greatly from Hongfei Group. Just the downstream industry alone has had a huge impact on our city. In terms of employee welfare and compensation, Hongfei Group is also a benchmark.”

Nie Zhenbang nodded slightly to Huang Zhenqiu’s words; at last, Huang Zhenqiu had come to understand. He was no longer being led around by Xu Aiguo.

This exchange made Xu Aiguo’s expression suddenly awkward, while Zhao Zhuobin smiled and said, “Governor, let’s sit in the group’s meeting room. The development of Hongfei Group still relies on the support and help from the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government.”

After inspecting Hongfei Group, Nie Zhenbang and his group declined the banquet invitation from Hongfei Group and went straight to the next location. In West Chang District of Changhong City, they inspected the urban villages there. Originally, in the 1990s, this area was a junction between the urban and rural areas of Changhong City, and it gathered a considerable number of rural resident resettlement areas. With the development of the times, it has now been surrounded by the city and turned into urban villages.

Throughout the journey, Nie Zhenbang did not say much, nor did he express any opinions. He looked at the urban villages and the residential districts of several bankrupt enterprises and then the group returned to the Municipal Party Committee. The standard for lunch was set by Nie Zhenbang himself: a working meal. The reception and meal strictly adhered to the “three publics” standard, and after eating, in the meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee, Nie Zhenbang spoke in a deep voice, “After seeing the old city area of Changhong City, I think the city’s old town renovation plan is still a bit too advanced. The whole plan needs further detailed study and deliberation. Mayor Zhenqiu, you are responsible for making the necessary adjustments, and then I will review your report.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zhenqiu looked somewhat pleased as he nodded his head, aware that this was his last chance. Whether he could satisfy the governor depended on his own actions. (
