Chapter 768: Chapter 724 Standing Committee Meeting_1

Bashu Province, Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government Office Building. The small meeting room on the top floor of the Provincial Committee Building.

This is the routine monthly meeting of the Standing Committee of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee.

It had been several days since the last government team meeting was convened. Nie Zhenbang wasn’t too upset for long about the situation at the government team meeting. The members of the government team, each harboring their own thoughts, felt somewhat troubled and faced increased difficulty in getting things done. However, this wasn’t entirely problematic. Relatively speaking, this situation greatly strengthened his authority within the government team.

Upon entering the small meeting room, he found already many people sitting there. Looking around, all the other members, except for Long Genghua, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee, and Zeng Taiping, the Secretary of the Provincial Committee, had taken their seats.

Upon seeing Nie Zhenbang entering, Qin Linlin, the Minister of Propaganda of the Provincial Party Committee, was the first to speak: “Governor Nie has arrived.”

Being a woman gave Qin Linlin the advantage of initiating such greetings without giving out a vibe of being a sycophant, which could have been the case if a male member greeted that way. Her greeting sounded much more normal.

Nie Zhenbang also smiled and said: “Hello, Sister Qin. All comrades are here already. If I don’t come now, I’ll be late.”

As his words trailed off, Hou Wenkui, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, laughed and said: “Governor Nie, you are so humble, we should learn from you.”

While they were talking, Long Genghua entered from outside with a calm face, showing neither sadness nor joy, and less than half a minute later, Zeng Taiping also entered.

As the top person in the Provincial Party Committee, Zeng Taiping naturally had an aura of authority. Despite everyone being leaders of the team, the prestige of the team leader still needed to be respected. Suddenly, the other standing committee members straightened up in their seats.

Zeng Taiping was satisfied with this display and his expression softened slightly. He took his seat at the head of the table, glanced around at everyone, and then said: “To put it briefly, let’s start the meeting.”

His words were concise, but they revealed a sense of authority, fully demonstrating Zeng Taiping’s confidence. This was a testament to his confidence in the standing committee members of the provincial party committee.

After a pause, Zeng Taiping continued: “This meeting is a routine meeting of the Standing Committee. However, there are a few important matters to discuss.”

At this point, no one spoke up, everyone was waiting for Zeng Taiping’s next words. Zeng Taiping then continued: “The first item is to study the important speech and guiding spirit of Director Shen at the Central government’s Western Region Development Meeting and implement the superior directives wholeheartedly. We need to seize the opportunity and promote the successful execution and development of our province’s strategy to enrich the people and strengthen the province.”

This issue was a standing feature on such committee meetings, often discussed as abstract topics. After Zeng Taiping finished speaking, the other standing committee members all passionately expressed their views. The leaders in charge of various matters also expressed their attitudes regarding their respective areas.

For example, after Long Genghua, the Deputy Secretary, Ning Bojun, the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, and other people spoke, Hou Wenkui, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee stated: “Secretary Zeng, all leaders, comrades, the political and legal front is also preparing to hold a province-wide learning conference at the beginning of next month. We’ll study the central instructions earnestly, do a good job on the political and legal front, and guard our province’s economic development and Western Strategy.”

After everyone finished speaking, Zeng Taiping’s gaze fell on Nie Zhenbang, he smiled and said: “Comrade Zhenbang, you are an expert in economic development. Do you have anything to say?”

Zeng Taiping’s words stunned Nie Zhenbang, who had planned not to speak at this standing committee meeting. Having just arrived, he was not familiar with some things in the standing committee. His strategy at the moment was simple: listen more and speak less.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Taiping called out to him. What did he mean? Did he want to intentionally highlight himself and show his support to the other standing committee members, or did he have other purposes? After thinking for a moment, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said: “Since Secretary Zeng has called upon me, I have a few words to say.”

As he spoke, Nie Zhenbang’s demeanor, which had been receding, suddenly rose. This change left the other standing committee members somewhat moved. Nie Zhenbang was a quiet man, but his transformation now was like a drawn sword, sharp and piercing. This man was not simple at all.

Seeing the change in everyone’s demeanor, Nie Zhenbang also chuckled inwardly. This was the effect he was aiming for. After a pause, he continued calmly, “This time, the central government officially begins the Western Region Development Project. This presents a golden opportunity to Bridge the economic disparities between the eastern and western regions. Nowadays, in the prosperous coastal areas of the east, the cost of human resources is gradually rising. The production cost is gradually reaching the international standard, and the industry structure is shifting from labor-intensive to technology-intensive. I believe that seizing this opportunity, making adequate preparations, leveraging our province’s affordable human resources and abundant industrial resources, undertaking industrial transition, accelerating urban construction and transportation construction, we can promote the rapid economic development of Bashu Province by banking on this national strategy of Western Region Development.”

When he finished, the eyes of many committee members now looked at Nie Zhenbang differently. His speech was not empty rhetoric. It was well-reasoned, and demonstrated a deep understanding and study of the national economic situation. His grasp and prediction of the economic situation were both accurate and bold.

This made many committee members discard their previous disdain. This young governor was not simple.

Zeng Taiping seemed to have predicted this reaction. He smiled and said, “Governor Zhenbang’s summary is insightful and thoroughly analyzed. As leaders of the entire province, we need such a broad perspective and foresight to better serve the ninety million people of Bashu.”

After a pause, Zeng Taiping continued, “The second issue, about the Li Clan Group from Donggang Special Economic Zone investing in the Changhua Expressway project. The highway from Changhong City to Huazhi City is a key project for our province. The survey work for the route has already been completed. This time, the formal signing of the contract must be conducted. It is essential to ensure the safety of the Li Clan Group representatives when they visit Bashu, making them feel at home.”

Regarding this matter, all committee members had nothing to say. It was a good thing. Once the Changhua Expressway was built, it would form a network with the Tianchang Expressway and Tianyu Expressway. This would be a tremendous benefit for Bashu Province, and no one would object to it.

Next. Nie Zhenbang glanced around the room, discovering everyone had grown serious and the room was silent.

This scene caused Nie Zhenbang to chuckle inwardly. At this committee meeting, all eyes were probably on the third issue, which involved personnel changes within the province, an issue nobody could avoid.

Currently, among the entire standing committee, the most relaxed and unburdened was Nie Zhenbang. Being new, he had no opinion about the upcoming personnel changes and could view them from an observer’s perspective. This was also a perfect chance to assess the other committee members.

At this moment, Zeng Taiping cleared his throat and continued, “Let’s move on to the final issue. The candidate for Secretary of the Yangde City Party Committee.”

At this point, Zeng Taiping turned to Lu Yong, who had remained silent, “Lu Minister, as the Provincial Party Organization Minister, personnel organization falls within your purview. Does your department have specific views on the candidate for the Secretary of the Yangde City Party Committee?”

Yangde City. Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang’s lips twitched upwards. It seemed that the contest this time would be extremely fierce. In his short time in office, Nie Zhenbang had become familiar with the situation in Bashu Province. Yangde City, located just 40 kilometers from Tianfu City, had used its advantageous location to quickly develop its economy. Ranking only third in the province after Tianfu City and Changhong City. Secretary of the Yangde City Party Committee offered a vital route into provincial-level leadership.

Upon hearing Zeng Taiping’s words, Lu Yong, who had been silent throughout the meeting, nodded slightly. He flipped through the notebook in front of him and said slowly, “Comrade Secretary Zeng, Governor Nie, and all comrades. Regarding the candidate for the Secretary of the Yangde City Party Committee, the Provincial Party Organization Department has conducted thorough research and inspection. We have considered it carefully, and the department is putting forth three candidates. One is Comrade Bu Dehui, the current Deputy Secretary of the Yangde City Party Committee. Another is Comrade Zhang Zhongxiong, the current Deputy Secretary and Mayor of Yangde City. And the third candidate is Comrade Fan Youcai, the current Secretary of the Ningxi City Committee.”

Lu Yong presented all three candidates before preparing to analyze and explain why each one was recommended by the organization department.

However, before Lu Yong could speak, Ning Bojun, the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, raised his hand and said, “Secretary Zeng…”

Ning Bojun’s behavior caused many standing committee members to look his way. Zeng Taiping frowned but said calmly, “Comrade Bojun, let’s hear Minister Lu’s opinion first.”

His comment, neither harsh nor soft, caused Ning Bojun’s face to cloud. His just now had indeed been impulsive.

Witnessing this, Nie Zhenbang curved his lips into a knowing smirk, inwardly chuckling. It seemed that this standing committee meeting would be interesting.

PS: Sorry, I only came back at ten forty in the evening. Today, I went to the countryside. My eldest cousin’s son, my cousin, was diagnosed with lung cancer, so I paid him a visit. He is only in his fifties. He has suffered all his life, and just sent his children away. He was supposed to be enjoying his life, but then he fell ill. This has greatly affected Old Cai’s mood, and I am feeling quite down. What is most important? Life is the most important. Family is the most important. Today, there is only one chapter, four chapters behind. But do not worry, I will make up before the end of the month. (To be continued.
