Chapter 956 -912: Third Brother’s Scene

Zhao Xinglong had not finished speaking when, faintly, Liu Kun’s voice came through from the other end of the phone, “Dragon Miner, what are you up to? Weren’t you going to Starmoon this time? I heard you brought back a few bottles of nice wine, take them out, will you?”

In the background, Li Hua’s teasing reprimand could also be heard, “You country bumpkin, how come the oil royalty of the Middle East didn’t drown you.”

Nie Zhenbang hung up the phone, a knowing smile on his face, his heart filled with a touch of warmth. Brotherhood was not something spoken about or formed through daily dining, whoring, and gambling. Over the years, even though they were all in different places, had started families and built careers in various fields, the depth of their feelings had not faded.

The car drove up to the entrance of Dynasty, and the security guards at the door immediately stood at attention and saluted. This was the car of a real big boss. The car moved unobstructed all the way and drove into the exclusive underground parking lot. Nie Zhenbang took the exclusive elevator directly up to the 6th floor.

This time, the 6th-floor clubhouse’s exclusive Huabiao Hall was the venue. Yes, on the 6th floor, this room could no longer simply be called a private room but, more accurately, a hall.

The space, encompassing a full three hundred square meters and designed around a central pillar, was cleverly divided into open areas serving different functions.

On the side were several private tea table spaces. One side featured a huge circular table designated for state dinners, able to accommodate eighteen people. Next to it, there was an exclusive wine cabinet. Members who qualified for entry here each had their personal wine cabinet.

Behind the wine cabinet, there was a small stage set up for performances either after the meal or before it; one could sing a tune or, if so inclined, take to the floor for a dance.

When Nie Zhenbang arrived, the group was already seated in the adjacent reception area. Four wide, extra-long sofas were arranged around a long marble coffee table, ensuring that even with twenty or thirty people, no one would have to stand.

Zhao Xinglong, Li Hua, Liu Kun, Nie Jiamin, Nie Jialei, Yang Anjun, Yang Anbang, Zhang Xu, Liu Bin, and Gao Wei all were present. Those expected and those not, those frequently in touch and those less so, all had come.

However, there was a clear division on the scene. Zhao Xinglong, Li Hua, Liu Kun, and Yang Anbang, the businessmen who had frequent contact with Nie Zhenbang, naturally sat in one area.

Nie Jiamin, Yang Anjun, and Zhang Xu, the three from the military, sat off to the side, with Zhang Xu looking somewhat displeased, annoyed by historical roots that everyone present was well aware of but naturally would not bring up to mar the mood.

Nie Jialei then sat with Liu Bin and Gao Wei. All being in politics, they shared common topics.

As soon as Nie Zhenbang walked in, everyone stood up. After all, he was today’s protagonist, and Elder Nie was soon to depart for a posting elsewhere. Gathering together was also a bit like seeing him off.

During the meal, Zhang Xu poured himself a glass of wine, stood up, and said to Nie Zhenbang, “Elder Nie, this glass is for you.”

The sentiment had been expressed, and Nie Zhenbang, without hesitation, drank it down as well. He was well aware of Zhang Xu’s intentions. This time, his placement of Zhang Xu in Huaxia Group was good for Zhang Xu. Although Zhang Xu was a major general, the Zhang family was on a downward path and his prospects were not bright, which was why he had been stationed at a local military command. Those really with potential, like Nie Jiamin and Yang Anjun, were in field troops.

Thus, joining Huaxia Group was actually a lucky break for Zhang Xu, as securing a full ministerial level was now not an issue.

“Little Brother, following Xu’s words, I’ll also toast you. Xu, I’ll toast you as well. From now on, we’ll be partners,” Nie Jialei said with a smile, standing up.

After two drinks, the atmosphere relaxed. Those present had all grown up in such an environment, adept at adjusting the mood, all skillful players. A meal passed in good spirits.

After dinner, some who should leave, particularly the older ones such as Nie Jialei, Yang Anjun, and Zhang Xu, all stood up, said their goodbyes, and departed.

The ones remaining in the room were close brothers. Everyone was much more relaxed than before, with Zhao Xinglong shamelessly occupying half a sofa, slumped into it as if he had melted away.

Gao Wei approached, his father having retired from his position as the head of the Central Office, stepping down completely, and Gao Wei having been transferred to Chubei Province as a Standing Committee member and Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Hongcheng, attaining an associate ministerial level, a significant step forward.

Jingcheng, as a sub-provincial city and a regional center, carries significant weight. This time, Gao Wei is appointed at a high-ranking vice-ministerial level, which clearly indicates that he is aiming for the position in the Chubei Province Disciplinary Committee.

Liu Bin is also doing not too bad. He has been delegated to serve as the Executive Deputy Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee in Yanbei Province, as a standing committee member of the Disciplinary Committee. There will inevitably be some moderate adjustments this time. According to Liu Bin’s age, it’s time for him to produce some results.

“Big brother, this time, I’m not convinced,” Liu Kun said, still holding a wine glass in his hand, swirling the red wine inside.

This guy had drunk a bit too much. Nie Zhenbang also laughed and said, “Kun, what are you unconvinced about? Hua has said it, you’re just a bumpkin. Now, you’re selling your beef and mutton products all over the world; you’re a landlord. What else are you dissatisfied with?”

Liu Kun, with a smiling face, replied, “Big brother, you’re being unfair. Zhao Xinglong goes to the Star Moon Nation once, and you introduce him to such good business partners. Now, Longhua Mining has suddenly become the top dog in the borax industry worldwide, yet I’m still treading water. This time, as you head to the local post, no matter what, I must go and support you, big brother.”

Liu Kun was very smart. Today, Nie Zhenbang had run between eight ministries, and the fact that many ministry leaders were too scared to show up had already spread in the circle of influential families. This showed that Elder Nie was truly anxious. When had anyone seen Elder Nie put his face on the line like this?

Therefore, Liu Kun thought about offering support, but he was couching it in terms of asking for Nie Zhenbang’s care. Nie Zhenbang smiled and then said, “Kun, there’s no need to rush this matter. I’ll come to you when the opportunity arises.”

Meanwhile, Yang Anbang slowly began to speak, “Third brother, this time, I was planning to set up the headquarters of the Wal-Mart Group’s South Central District in Jingcheng. Unfortunately, the officials there are too full of themselves. I think it’s better to place it in Hongcheng. With your personal attention, I can rest assured. Your second sister will also be at ease.”

Yang Anbang’s words held a subtle sense of being non-negotiable. He first made it clear that they were planning to set the headquarters in his jurisdiction; then, he brought up Xiao Yali.

The relationship between the two families was very close. Yang Anbang was the Nie family’s son-in-law, and Nie Zhenbang was the Yang family’s son-in-law.

Furthermore, Xiao Yali was famously straightforward and fiery. If Nie Zhenbang didn’t agree to this, he would most likely not get past her.

With a wry smile, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “Alright, if you, Big Boss Yang, say so, what can I do? However, there are some things I have to make clear.”

Then, Nie Zhenbang looked around at everyone and said, “Brothers, I understand and appreciate your kindness, but this matter is not going to stump me. Rest assured. When the time comes to seek help from my brothers, I will not be shy. Now? Everyone should go about their business as usual. Don’t worry about me.”

Nie Zhenbang was sincere and didn’t use the excuses like the organizational department hadn’t talked to him yet, etc. Such words might work in front of outsiders, but they would seem alienating among his own brothers.

However, Nie Zhenbang’s words still conveyed Elder Nie’s pride and boldness. Even under pressure, Elder Nie had his own confidence.

With the conversation reaching this point, it was difficult for anyone to say much more. Zhao Xinglong also sat up and said with a smile, “Third brother, this time, I plan to stay in Hongjiang permanently. I have some business dealings with Hongjiang Copper, and we’re planning a big project together. You wouldn’t drive me away, would you?”

As Zhao Xinglong finished speaking, Liu Kun had a thought; this fellow was smart. Didn’t the third brother refuse help? But if this person went over there, it would be to support the third brother. Staying in Hongjiang meant that when something came up where the third brother shouldn’t step in personally, they would be the ones to take action.

After a pause, Liu Kun also said, “Xinglong, let’s go together. I was planning to inspect the market environment there too.”

These two, in their back and forth, cornered Nie Zhenbang with their intentions clear. They had already stated they were on official business, and as for staying permanently, that was their right. After all, you couldn’t possibly say that once you become the head of Hongjiang, they couldn’t go there, right?

Moreover, Nie Zhenbang understood the deep meaning behind these two guys’ actions, and he was somewhat touched in his heart. This was what friends and brothers are like. Even if you are reluctant, they would find ways to shamelessly insist on coming over to support you. He then waved his hand and said, “I can’t control you guys. You’re all forty years old. Do you still think you’re young lads?”

An Na had also come over tonight. When Nie Zhenbang reached the ninth floor and entered the door, he noticed something different. The ninth-floor lighting was smart; if there was no one in the house, the lights would turn on automatically upon entering. If someone was there, you could remotely disable this feature.

As he entered, An Na came out from the bedroom just in time and, seeing Nie Zhenbang, smiled and said, “I’ve just put Zhiping to sleep. How was it? I heard that you made quite a name for yourself in Jingcheng today.” (
