Chapter 605 -561: Character Interview (Extra update at 1250 monthly tickets)_1

Since the exposure, Mayor Nie personally led the team. Any unit that violated regulations, these leaders, dare not play any tricks in front of Mayor Nie, all acted respectfully, honestly paying out of their own pockets, for the exceeded costs.

Meanwhile, the municipal party committee and municipal government announced on Sea-view City TV Station, that the implementation of the ‘Three Public’ regulations would start. Within half a year, the municipal party committee along with the municipal government will form investigation and inspection teams consisting of members from the organization department, supervision bureau, and finance bureau. They will perform random checks and inspections on the execution of the ‘Three Public’ regulations citywide.

This is like a sword hanging over the heads of all city party and government leaders, ready to fall at any moment. It is like a timed bomb that could potentially shatter someone’s future prospects at any time.

With the implementation of this measure, the atmosphere throughout the city has improved significantly, and the ‘Three Public’ regulations are being carried out systematically.

Nie Zhenbang’s focus naturally returned to his regular work. In order to develop computer networks, he still needed policy support from his superiors.

The Ministry of Information Industry, which was established last March by merging the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs and the Ministry of Electronics, is in charge. It seems that for this project, he would have to return to Jingcheng. Thinking about this, Nie Zhenbang started to ponder.

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang. As soon as Nie Zhenbang answered the phone, Lin Mohan’s voice came through, “Mayor, do you have a moment?”

Nie Zhenbang was very pleased with Lin Mohan at this moment. After observing for some time, Lin Mohan’s capabilities in various aspects were impressive and had gained Nie Zhenbang’s recognition.

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang responded with laughter, “Old Forest, just say it. Why are you so formal with me? Speak up.”

Hearing these words, Lin Mohan also felt a warm feeling inside. He had a clear sense of Mayor Nie’s personality. Mayor Nie was a typical workaholic, who separated work matters from personal ones. To keep up with Mayor Nie, you must first do a good job. It is a must. Otherwise, even if you obey, Mayor Nie would disdain.

Further, if you want to get rich by following Mayor Nie, forget about it. Working diligently with integrity guaranteed you a promotion.

For this type of person, Lin Mohan was entirely convinced. In fact, none of the cadres were corrupt from the beginning. Everyone has a monument in their hearts. Everyone dreams of benefiting the people as officials. Now, Lin Mohan had found such a guide and naturally followed him up without hesitation.

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s laughter, Lin Mohan also laughed and said, “Mayor, this matter does involve you. A reporter from the Sea-view City TV Station recently proposed to do a special interview on you. As this matter involves you, Sea-view City TV Station can’t decide on its own and reported it to me. Coincidentally, the National TV Station is preparing to do a series of special programs on the twenty years of reform and opening up. I plan to recommend you as the representative for WangHai. So, I agreed to this exclusive interview. I guess, this reporter will be at your place soon.”

Hearing Lin Mohan’s words, Nie Zhenbang was at a loss as to what to do. High exposure was not a good thing. Especially for a person of his age holding high office, once his background was purposely exposed, he could be in trouble.

Immediately, Nie Zhenbang reprimanded, “Lin Mohan, what are you up to? Cancel this exclusive interview immediately. They should report on Secretary Tai Shi, Secretary Si Yuan, why report on me?”

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, a clear voice came in, “Excuse me, is Mayor Nie here?”

Hearing this voice, Nie Zhenbang frowned, and said to Lin Mohan on the phone, “Old Forest, your good deed. Arrange Secretary Li for this special edition, my side, is not necessary, understand?”

Just as he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door. Li Jupeng poked his head in and whispered, “Mayor, Reporter Jiang from the city TV station is here. She said, Minister Lin from the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department asked her to come over for an exclusive interview.”

Upon hearing these words, Nie Zhenbang laughed inwardly. This girl really knew how to use small things to create big impact. Moreover, he had experienced how persistent Jiang Ruoxuan could be. This woman was a complete workaholic. She would never give up until she achieved her goal. Even if he refused to see her this time, she would likely force another encounter. Right away, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, let her in.”

A moment later, Jiang Ruoxuan entered Nie Zhenbang’s office. Today, she was wearing a light blue floral dress, showcasing her fair shoulders and perfect figure. It was a distinct style compared to the previous times they had met.

“Reporter Jiang, please take a seat. Ju Peng, pour a cup of tea for Reporter Jiang.” As he spoke, Nie Zhenbang turned to Jiang Ruoxuan and asked, “Reporter Jiang, why are you looking for me today?”

This time, Jiang Ruoxuan had come on her own, equipped with a camera, a voice recorder, and a notebook, all the standard accoutrements of a journalist.

Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Jiang Ruoxuan stood up, took a document from her bag, placed it onto the table and then sat back again, saying, “Mayor, this time, I would like to conduct a personal interview with you for a news piece to mark the 20th anniversary of the economic reform. This will be a show for the Wanghai City and it will be broadcasted nationally. These are the contents of the interview; please take a look.”

As Nie Zhenbang examined the materials, Jiang Ruoxuan briefed him, “The interview mainly consists of five parts: first, a follow-up on your daily life and work; second, on the case of Eastern Sea Group; third, on the startup of Wangtian Highway; fourth, the Three Gorges Regulation; and fifth, a comprehensive summary. The key and detailed aspects of the interview are all noted in these documents. Do you think we could start now?”

Upon hearing her, Nie Zhenbang pondered. At this point, if he refused the interview, Jiang Ruoxuan would definitely not accept it. He had seen the determination of this woman. She dared to conduct an undercover investigation in Tongping District just based on a conversation between Li Jupeng and Liu Mihui. One could imagine, if on that day she hadn’t called him, Zhao Zhuobin and Li Dongjiang, in their self-preservation, wouldn’t have hesitated to apprehend her eventually. The consequences would have been unimaginable. It was quite usual for Zhao Zhuobin and Li Dongjiang to harm someone under the guise of robbery.

At this point, Nie Zhenbang was sure that if he did not agree, Jiang Ruoxuan would not give up and would insist on the interview. As a result, everyone in the City Hall building might end up knowing about it, and those unaware might even think that he was bullying her.

Anyway, the final decision on what to air after the interview was in the hands of Lin Mohan. This was something Nie Zhenbang was not worried about. In a matter of such importance, Lin Mohan wouldn’t compromise.

Given the situation, the best approach might be to go ahead with the interview and also put an end to Jiang Ruoxuan’s persistence. With this in mind, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “Reporter Jiang, I don’t have any engagements in the morning. In the afternoon, I have to attend a meeting at the City Business Union. I reckon with this schedule, we might as well start now.”

Nie Zhenbang’s willingness to cooperate caught Jiang Ruoxuan off guard as she was expecting a much more resistant response. But she regained her composure quickly. Opening her notebook and taking out a pen, she placed the voice recorder in front of Nie Zhenbang and seated herself on the chair opposite him. She asked, “Mayor Nie, when you took office in Wanghai city, Eastern Sea Group was at its peak. Could you share your views on the company?”

Jiang Ruoxuan had picked the most contentious topic to begin the interview, aiming to grasp as many eyeballs as possible. Clearly, her substantial experience as a journalist was not just hearsay.

Though Nie Zhenbang was confident that this interview wouldn’t be publicized, he couldn’t just blurt out anything as it was still an interview. He had to adhere to certain norms and principles.

After a moment’s pondering, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “Many people argue that the Eastern Sea Group has made significant contributions to the economic development of Wanghai city. However, I consider the advent of the Eastern Sea Group as a hurdle to the balanced economic development of the city…”

In the following two hours, while Jiang Ruoxuan posed questions, Nie Zhenbang responded appropriately. By the end of the interview, Jiang Ruoxuan had filled her notebook with his responses. She was pleased with Nie Zhenbang’s cooperation, which had significantly surpassed her expectations. Standing up, she thanked him, “Mayor Nie, I appreciate your cooperation. This concludes our textual interview. Now, would you please let me know when we can schedule the video interview?”

A video interview as well? Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang was taken aback. Just as he was about to refuse, his phone rang. Surprisingly, it was from his father-in-law, Yang Shengli, a call that made him sit erect. His father-in-law, who was always annoyed with him for his affairs with other women, rarely called. Being uncertain of the nature of the call, Nie Zhenbang didn’t dare to neglect it. He soon waved his hand and said, “Reporter Jiang, I have some matters to attend to – you may leave now.”

As soon as he picked up the phone, Yang Shengli’s voice came through, “Zhenbang, are you free now?”
