Reborn as a Noble's Son-Chapter 783 - 739 Madame’s Route_1

Chapter 783 -739 Madame’s Route_1

Taking the phone, Nie Zhenbang didn’t avoid the people present, this was also one of Nie Zhenbang’s tactics. Doing it in front of everyone, this shows that when it comes to family matters, he can face everyone, and he considered those present as his confidants.

“An Na, you’ve never called me during work hours before, what’s up? Anything special today?” Nie Zhenbang said with a laugh.

On the phone, Yang Anna seemed a bit embarrassed, clearly, there were other people around her. Because, the tone of Yang Anna’s speech was obviously a bit unusual: “Zhenbang, are you free tonight? Sister Liang from our office invited us to dinner. What do you think?”

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang immediately furrowed his brows. What kind of person was this, taking the wife’s route? Moreover, it was clear that this “Sister Liang” was shrewd. She made An Na inescapable. The only option left was to call.

The two had been in sync for many years. Clearly, from the tone of An Na’s words, one could tell that An Na was extremely reluctant to have this dinner. However, she had no choice but to make this call.

After a brief thought, Nie Zhenbang laughed and said: “I thought it was something serious? It’s just a dinner. It’s a normal interaction among your colleagues. That’s normal. In that case, I’ll be back roughly around the same time. Wait for me downstairs of your office building after you finish your work in the afternoon. I’ll come pick you up.”

Hanging up the phone, Nie Zhenbang looked at Fang Yuan next to him and said, “Old Fang, do you have any impression of a Sister Liang from the Provincial Women’s Federation? She’s a cadre who works in the same department as An Na.”

Regarding the dinner, Nie Zhenbang was now seeing it clearly, the wife’s route was not a path that could be cleared with just one meal.

If Nie Zhenbang was overly wary of such things, it would be overly cautious, inevitably leading to the feeling of avoiding confrontation.

Asking Fang Yuan was not a decision made on the spur of the moment. As the secretary-general of the government, he was the steward of the government. As a steward, the lifestyles of the provincial leaders were all within the scope of his duties. Many work arrangements for the leaders’ family members were handled by them. Asking Fang Yuan was definitely asking the right person.

At this moment, hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Fang Yuan also pondered for a while, then said, “Sister Liang? If I remember correctly, she should be Long Genghua’s wife. Among the provincial party leaders, the only one whose wife is named Liang is Long Genghua, and I heard his wife also works in the Women’s Federation.”

“Then it can’t be wrong.” Before Fang Yuan could finish speaking, Nie Zhenbang drew his conclusion. Throughout the entire Bashu province, after he started the first fire, those who could, and dared to invite him, were very few in Bashu province. Those who could sit on an equal footing with An Na must not be ordinary cadres. So, the scope got much smaller.

Just after four in the afternoon, Nie Zhenbang’s car entered the office building of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. Little Wu here parked the car in the office’s parking garage, and after completing the registration process, drove out Nie Zhenbang’s private car from the garage.

Nie Zhenbang paid great attention to the implementation of the “three public expenses”. Going out for inspection was a pre-declared matter, but now that he was back, Nie Zhenbang naturally strictly grasped the usage of public vehicles within the limits.

Nie Zhenbang’s car was very ordinary, a domestic Zhonghua. Although it was known as the “Little BMW”, its price-performance ratio was quite high. The overall performance was undoubtedly excellent. However, it followed the old path in handling some small details and appeared somewhat inattentive to fine details.

Nie Zhenbang didn’t care about these. The domestic car industry had to go through such a process, it was unavoidable.

The car drove out of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government compound, heading directly towards the Women’s Federation. At the entrance of the Women’s Federation building, Yang Anna was standing at the door of the guard room, looking out. Seeing the car coming, Yang Anna also walked over, opened the door and got in, saying, “Little Wu, go to the western suburbs. There’s a place called Bashu Live Fish Village there.”

As expected, Little Wu, the carefully arranged life secretary, was not only proficient in martial arts but also very skilled in driving.

The car sped quickly, almost reaching the maximum speed limit on the city road. At this time, it happened to be rush hour. From the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to the western suburbs, they had to drive through the entire Tianfu City. The car quickly drove through the city and after getting onto the Third Ring Road, the speed gradually increased.

Tianfu City’s urban municipal transportation construction was commendable. Relying on the center of Tianfu City, the four ring roads significantly relieved the traffic pressure in the city.

Half an hour later, they exited from the western suburb of the Third Ring Road. Ahead was the city’s main road. The road was wide, and the buildings on both sides began to become sparse. Less than two kilometers after getting off the Third Ring Road, there were many farmhouse restaurants along the road.

At this time, it was the peak period for dinner. Every shop along the road had personnel wearing reflective vests. Whenever they saw a car, they would imitate the police and gesture for it to turn right and stop. Many outsiders, sometimes not knowing why, would wave and stop to see.

Bashu Live Fish Village occupied about twenty acres, in the middle of which was a water pond covering about ten acres. The bottom was covered with a layer of cobblestones. Various pipes were distributed in the pond for supplying oxygen to the fish.

Surrounding the pond were other architectural pieces. Pavilions, terraces, and winding corridors added a touch of the South of the Yangtze River style to the place.

Nie Zhenbang noticed Long Genghua as soon as he stepped out of the car. Standing beside Long was a woman and a young man in his twenties.

Upon seeing Nie, Long stepped forward and greeted him with a smile. “Governor Nie, welcome, welcome. Please come inside.”

Being public figures, Long did not engage in lengthy pleasantries. They all walked into the fish restaurant, passed a waterside corridor, and entered an antique private room towards the end.

After they had seated, Zhenbang thanked Long with a smile, “Secretary Long, thank you for your generous hospitality. I can’t thank you enough.”

Laughing at Zhenbang’s remark, Genghua retorted, “Governor Zhenbang, you’re making me blush! It’s just a meal. Let me introduce you to my wife, Liang Cuie, who happens to work with your sister-in-law in the Women’s Federation office. It’s such a coincidence. This is my son, Long Hao, who is also working within the system.”

Long Genghua suddenly became serious and instructed his son, “Hao, call him Uncle Nie.”

At this moment, Nie was also examining the son of the third-ranking official of the provincial party committee. With the children of Zeng Taiping and himself not in Bashu, Long Hao could be considered the top prodigy in Bashu. However, there was no trace of arrogance or complacency in Long Hao, which impressed Nie. Long Genghua did indeed raise a good son.

The spicy hotpot fish of Bashu Live Fish Village was a special signature dish there. The intense Sichuan spicy flavor gave Nie a rather pleasant feeling.

Anna was continually opening her mouth due to the spiciness and was constantly drinking her beverage. The atmosphere at the meal was quite harmonious.

At that point, Liang Cuie suggested, “An Na, let’s go look at the fishpond together. The moonlit fishpond of Bashu Fish Village is a great sight. It’s a nice time to walk and aid digestion after eating.”

Understanding the situation, Yang Anna replied, “Sure, Sister Liang. Please lead the way.”

Once the women left, the three men moved to the sofas in the private room. Looking at Long Genghua, Nie expressed his gratitude again, “Secretary Long, thank you for your wonderful hospitality.”

Nie’s calm demeanor made Long a bit frustrated. He had arranged this meeting through his wife on purpose. Lately, Nie had been quiet and seemed to make no moves, which had made Long’s life difficult. Long realized it was essential to maintain a good relationship with Nie concerning Bashu Province’s affairs.

After a pause, Long asked with a smile, “Governor Zhenbang, have you heard about this? The municipal party committee secretary of Ningxi City, Fan Youcai, is rumored to be transferring to the provincial minister of finance while also serving as the secretary of the finance party group.”

Upon hearing this, Nie was startled. Decisions on cadre adjustments and removals within the province needed to be discussed and passed by the standing committee of the provincial party committee. Now that Long had already gathered the news when Nie was not aware of this situation showed that Long was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

The Ministry of Finance was crucial for Nie. Now that Zeng Taiping was putting Fan Youcai in charge of the finance department meant that he had control over the financial power. It seemed that Zeng was very dissatisfied with Nie’s previous methods in Yangde City.

Moreover, the position in the Ministry of Finance was critical, comprising one of the few real power bureaus. With just a small opportunity, a promotion to vice-president was not a big problem.

Observing Nie deep in thought, Long was quite satisfied. The more troubled Nie was by Zeng Taiping’s move, the higher the hope that Nie would ally with him.

With this in mind, Long remarked with a grin, “Brother Zhenbang, there’s something I’d like to get off my chest.”

At this moment, Nie replied with a smile, “Secretary Long, please feel free to speak your mind.”

Long calmly smiled and said, “As the old saying goes, ‘a man should not be without power or money for a day.’ This is an attempt to cut off your lifeline.”
