Reborn as a Noble's Son-Chapter 425 - 405: The Parachuted Organization Minister_1

Chapter 425: Chapter 405: The Parachuted Organization Minister_1

The news that the three major figures of the Municipal Committee went to the provincial capital one after another quickly spread across the entire Liangxi City, prompting discussion among the city officials.

The Minister of Organization, who controls all the official titles in the city, naturally attracts everyone’s concern. Some believe that Secretary Fan would definitely win, as he is an influential figure in Liangxi City. They believed that this time would be no exception.

Others, however, favored Mayor Nie and Secretary Zhu, as the alliance between the two was indeed a force to be reckoned with.

Surprisingly, the provincial organization committee decided to appoint Sun Minghao, a completely unfamiliar person, as a vice president and member of the party committee of the Provincial Party School.

Such an appointment, dropping in from the sky as it were, was beyond anyone’s expectations in Liangxi City. Despite having considered all kinds of possibilities and analyzing changes in the provincial committee’s strength, they never thought that in this provincial committee meeting, all thirteen standing committee members unanimously approved Sun Minghao’s appointment. Sun Minghao was relieved of his current positions, and appointed as a member, standing committee member, and Minister of Organization of the Liangxi Municipality.

…

At this moment, at the junction of Liangxi City and Jiangzhou City on the Hujiang Expressway, all the leaders of the Liangxi Municipal Committee Standing Committee arrived. A fleet of cars strategically parked by the roadside.

According to the news from the Provincial Committee Office yesterday, this morning, Yang Xingan, a member of the Provincial Committee and the Minister of Organization, will come to personally deliver Sun Minghao for his new position.

This news was taken very seriously by the entire city of Liangxi. Everyone arrived early in the morning and waited by the roadside for Minister Yang’s arrival.

The weather in April was still somewhat unpredictable. Today, drizzle fell, and secretaries were holding umbrellas beside their leaders. Though not a physically demanding task, it was somewhat uncomfortable over time.

Fan Changsheng was expressionless at the moment, glanced at his watch, and said in a deep voice, “It’s still early, I estimate it will take another half an hour. Everyone may return to their cars and wait. The police car in front will notify us immediately once there is news.”

Nie Zhenbang got into his car as soon as Fan Changsheng’s voice fell. He hadn’t anticipated an airborne appointment like this. It seemed that Shen Yanshuo was taking the development forum very seriously. The expressions of the current standing committee members showed that, including him, everyone was anxious to build a good relationship with the new Minister of Organization.

However, Nie Zhenbang also had some understanding of Sun Minghao through Ning Shouchang. Sun Minghao was not young, he should be around fifty this year. Although he was only at the deputy hall level, Sun Minghao’s connection network in the province could not be underestimated.

On the one hand, Sun Minghao had worked in the Party School for many years and many officials had been trained at the school, which meant he had established various connections. In addition, Sun Minghao also had a strong background as he was a high school classmate and now a relative of Yang Xingan, the Minister of Organization. This suggested he was not an ordinary figure.

Looking out at the convoy through the car window, Nie Zhenbang smirked coldly. He was certain his courtesies will not have any influence on a person like Sun Minghao. As for how things will pan out in the future, he was not worried in the slightest. He would do his own things. As for how Sun Minghao would perform, there was nothing to worry about. If he hindered the progress of the forum, Shen Yanshuo would intervene without him needing to step in.

Half an hour went by in a flash. The police car in charge of surveillance at the front finally sent a message that Minister Yang’s car was coming. The leaders of the Municipal Committee Standing Committee all got out of their cars.

As ever, the expression on Fan Changsheng’s face was serious, as befit the dignity of the Secretary of the Municipal Committee.

Zhu Zhuozhen’s face was expressionless, showing no signs of joy or sadness. Li Guohua was extremely low-key at this moment. He had been quiet for a while after the incidents with the People’s Congress, but Nie Zhenbang did not believe that Li Guohua would give up so easily, as it did not match what he knew of Li’s character.

As for Li Xiaoqin, her expression was quite complex. Initially, she had hoped to take on this significant position, but the sudden change of plans shattered those hopes. Naturally, her mood was a bit low, which was normal for a woman.

They did not have to wait for long after getting out of the car, a black Audi slowly parked at the end of the convoy. This move surprised Nie Zhenbang.

It seemed that both Minister Yang and Sun Minghao were not simple characters. Given Yang Xingan’s status, his car would usually park at the very front of the convoy. In fact, the Liangxi City Committee had deliberately left a space of ten or so meters at the front for Yang Xingan’s car.

But surprisingly, Yang Xingan parked his car at the very back. Seeing this, Fan Changsheng didn’t hesitate too much. With a wave of his hand, he said in a deep voice, “Let’s all go over there.”

At this moment, with the arrival of the members of the Standing Committee of the Liangxi City Committee at the back of the motorcade, Yang Xingan’s car door opened, and an umbrella was promptly held up over him. With a beaming smile, Yang Xingan disembarked. Looking at Fan Changsheng, he extended a hand and said, “Comrade Changsheng, the comrades in Liangxi City are truly too considerate.”

Fan Changsheng also wore a smile on his face, “Minister Yang, your words are killing us! You are the big boss of all provincial cadres. Today, you have brought us such an excellent cadre. It is our duty – both morally and logically – to personally greet him in Jiangzhou City. Welcoming him here is, in fact, an act of negligence on our part.”

Hearing Fan Changsheng’s words, Yang Xingan couldn’t help but laugh heartily, “This Changsheng… I remember when you were acting as the county chief in Qianzhou, you were renowned for your eloquence. All these years have passed, and your eloquence seems to have grown ever sharper!”

Then, turning his head, Yang Xingan uttered, “Mayor Nie, long time no see.”

Hearing Yang Xingan’s words, Nie Zhenbang also stepped forward with a smile, shook hands with Yang Xingan and said, “Welcome Minister Yang.”

Then, Yang Xingan turned to Fan Changsheng and said with a smiling face, “Secretary Changsheng, Mayor Zhenbang, allow me to introduce to you our main man today, Comrade Sun Minghao. Sun will be working in your city, Liangxi, and you two tycoons will need to take good care of him.”

This sounded like a joke, but there was a hint of seriousness hidden in it. Hearing this, Fan Changsheng laughed heartily and readily agreed. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Following that, under Yang Xingan’s introduction, Sun Minghao also met the other members of the Standing Committee of the Liangxi City Committee and officially acquainted himself with them.

After Yang Xingan shook hands with each of the Liangxi Municipal Committee members, he grinned and said, “Comrade Changsheng, let’s proceed to the municipal committee.”

This time, Yang Xingan didn’t reject the proposal. His car was the first to start moving forward. They headed towards Liangxi City, led by the guiding police vehicle from the Liangxi City Public Security Bureau.

Next, they conducted a meeting for all leading officials in the city’s hall. At the meeting, Yang Xingan, representing the provincial committee, announced Sun Minghao’s appointment. After the announcement, Fan Changsheng was the first to lead a round of applause, which was echoed by a robust round of applause from the rest of the hall.

After the conclusion of the meeting, Fan Changsheng, Nie Zhenbang, and Zhu Zhuozhen approached Yang Xingan. Fan Changsheng, on behalf of the Liangxi City Committee, smiled and said, “Minister Xingan, it’s time for lunch. Over here, we have prepared some drinks. We would be honored if you could join us.”

When it came to Fan Changsheng’s invitation, Yang Xingan was quite decisive. After a brief hesitation, he accepted the invitation. The group then enthusiastically proceeded to the city committee’s special reception area.

The large private room was filled with the leaders of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Council, including Yang Xingan and Sun Minghao. The table was laden with the finest dishes. However, seeing the extensive spread, Nie Zhenbang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

From the moment he entered, Nie Zhenbang had been watching Sun Minghao and noticed a slight change in his expression. Nie Zhenbang couldn’t help but wonder, “Given Fan Changsheng’s usual standard, the choice of dishes is entirely based on the national banquet standard, and the liquor must be a ten-year-old Moutai. It seems that Sun Minghao is not showing disdain for the meal. It appears that Sun Minghao still has the demeanor of a teacher and is slightly disdainful of the large, lavish expenditure commonly seen within the system.”

With this in mind, Nie Zhenbang felt a surge of joy. There are many ways and methods to win people over, such as: catering to their preferences, offering them gifts, property, antiques, gorgeous women, etc. His approach was also straightforward, aiming to find common ground. From this point of view, Sun Minghao seemed to be a very approachable person.

When all the guests’ wine glasses were filled by the waitress, Fan Changsheng stood up, raised his glass with both hands and said to Yang Xingan, “Minister Xingan, we thank the provincial committee for their support and recognition of Liangxi City’s work. We appreciate your concern for our work. I’ll drink this cup to you first.”

No sooner had he said this, than Fan Changsheng resolutely drank the entire cup. Although it was a small glass, it was a clear demonstration of Fan Changsheng’s respect.

Yang Xingan found it difficult to refuse. He smilingly lifted his glass and also chuckled, “Comrade Changsheng, we can drink, but let me say in advance, the comrades of Liangxi City must not advance in turns on me.”

Upon hearing this, the Standing Committee in Liangxi City all started to laugh. Li Xiaoqin also stood up holding her glass. At thirty-four years old, she had maintained herself very well and exuded an appealing maturity.

“Minister Yang, you can’t include me in that. In any case, I want to toast you separately. Here’s to you,” said Li Xiaoqin, demonstrating unabashed boldness as she drank her wine.

The atmosphere at the table quickly lightened. Nie Zhenbang drank with ease, effortlessly handling the situation. After several rounds of drinks, Sun Minghao, who had up until then been quietly drinking his wine and occasionally telling a joke, stood up, raised his glass, and surprisingly walked over to Nie Zhenbang, “Mayor Nie, let me toast to you.”(To be continued.
