Chapter 845 -801: Fang Yuan Takes a New Post

Mrs. Feng was stunned. To her, the events of tonight were like a play, even more miraculous than all she had experienced in her lifetime.

Her snack stand had been destroyed again, yet this time she had met the governor, seen leaders and officials she never had in her life, and been graced by the presence of higher-officials she’d never imagined meeting. And now, the governor’s wife was being unexpectedly polite.

“Ma’am… I, I really shouldn’t,” Mrs. Feng hesitated, intending to call her ‘young lady’ initially, but then remembering this was the governor’s wife. She didn’t know what to call her, her demeanor betraying panic and excitement, her words getting tangled.

At this moment, Yang Anna felt moved and touched, her soul profoundly shaken. As the pride of the heavens, she had always lived a blessed life. Described as one of luxury and comfort, Yang Anna had never witnessed such a scene.

Mrs. Feng’s life touched An Na’s most sensitive chord. Stopping Mrs. Feng’s gesture, An Na spoke gently, “Mrs. Feng, please say no more. This is just a little token from our family; you must accept it. Look at your stand; it will definitely need to be rebuilt, and things will have to be bought — all requiring money. Please, take it. We’ll come to visit you again in the future.”

Watching Nie Zhenbang and Yang Anna walk away, Mrs. Feng kept muttering, “Good people, really good people. How could I accept this?”

As Nie Zhenbang and An Na left, everyone’s gaze turned to nearby Tang Bingquan and Huang Jin. One was the Secretary of Tianfu City’s Municipal Party Committee, and with such chaos in Shujiang District, it was natural for all eyes to be on him.

Huang Jin was the Vice Governor and the head of the Provincial Public Security Department. This incident with the Shujiang District Public Security sub-bureau was naturally related to him.

After a moment, Tang Bingquan and Huang Jin shared a wry smile. With a heavy voice, Huang Jin said, “Secretary Tang, it’s better if we take separate actions. You and I both understand Governor Nie’s character. More talk is pointless. This time, the Provincial Public Security Department is set to carry out a major rectification of law enforcement quality across the province.”

Huang Jin’s words were cryptic, not explicitly stating his intention, but Tang Bingquan understood the implication.

Tang Bingquan nodded; he too was infuriated over this matter. At the time of regulating the night snack vendors, considering that those running the stalls were mainly laid-off workers, urban unemployed citizens in extreme poverty, and rural migrant workers — all marginalized social groups.

Initially, after careful research and investigation, the municipal party committee and government selected several locations within the urban area as designated operating zones for night snack vendors. No fees were required, which was a good initiative — centralized management was convenient for the citizens and helped maintain urban cleanliness.

But now, a good deed had turned sour. The actions of Shujiang District’s Urban Management Bureau deeply dissatisfied Tang Bingquan.

Nodding, he said, “Old Huang, everything is clear without words. Let’s each do what we must,” Tang Bingquan spoke up.

After Huang Jin left, Tang Bingquan immediately turned to the leaders of Shujiang District, saying sternly, “All of you, come with me to the Municipal Party Committee.”

On the way, Tang Bingquan immediately informed the other standing committee members in the city to rush to the small meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee.

In the meeting room of Tianfu City’s Municipal Party Committee, a solemn silence prevailed. The standing committee members had rushed over from their homes; some still smelled faintly of alcohol, which was normal. Drinking a little during the rest period was not an issue, especially not in such an urgent and impromptu meeting.

Seeing the leaders from Shujiang District, respectful and attentive, sitting on the side as if they were students who had erred, everyone understood — Shujiang District was in trouble.

Scanning the attendees, Tang Bingquan cleared his throat and proclaimed gravely, “Comrades, let me first inform you of a situation.”

Tang Bingquan then recounted the events that had occurred in the Shujiang District night market. Hearing this, Lu Chengdong, the mayor sitting beside him, had an odd expression. Getting caught by Governor Nie was akin to courting death?

After finishing, Tang Bingquan continued gravely, “Comrades, I believe the nature of this incident is self-explanatory, a most despicable behavior. Regarding the involved suspects, I suggest following Governor Nie’s directive to dismiss them from public office permanently. The Chief of Shujiang District Public Security sub-bureau and Shujiang District’s Urban Management Bureau should be demoted. The top two leaders of Shujiang District Committee and District Government should be given disciplinary warnings.”

With Governor Nie’s name at the forefront, there was no need for further talk, and the incident having been caught in the act made the standing committee’s unanimous approval of Tang Bingquan’s proposal unsurprising.

…

Seven days passed since the nomination was publicly announced. Fortunately, with Sun Jialuo and Long Genghua’s support, there had been no overturn during this period. Once the announcement period ended, the Organizational Department of the Provincial Party Committee immediately issued the formal appointment and dismissal documents: Li Yunhe, the Secretary of Xingzhou City Municipal Party Committee, was transferred to the Provincial Government to assume the role of Secretary-General of the Office; the former Secretary-General Fang Yuan was reassigned to Xingzhou City as Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee; mayor Hu Baoguang was moved to be the Party Group Secretary and Director of the Construction Department; and the previous Director of the Construction Department, Liu Qingyuan, was appointed as Deputy Secretary of the Xingzhou City Municipal Party Committee, and Acting Mayor.

Mid-October

Early in the morning, at the entrance of the compound of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, two Toyota Coaster business vans that made up the convoy were already parked at the entrance. Beside them stood Lu Yong, the expressionless head of the Organizational Department of the Provincial Committee, while Nie Zhenbang had also personally hurried over. At the entrance, Fang Yuan and Liu Qingyuan were somewhat excited. This time, they were finally going to govern a jurisdiction.

Now within the Party, experience in grassroots work is increasingly valued. Being able to govern a jurisdiction at this time is a solid foundation for both Fang Yuan and Liu Qingyuan, and it is greatly beneficial for their futures.

Furthermore, the development momentum of Bashu Province is visible to all cadres. The economic development of Bashu Province has shown a burgeoning trend under Governor Nie’s strategic planning this year. It is foreseeable that in the next two years, there will inevitably be an explosive growth.

Xingzhou City, on one hand, has the backing of the reservoir area and the support of the national immigration and flood prevention funds, and now, with the coordination of the province, the development of Xingzhou City is tremendous. These factors will become chips for promotion and achievements in the future. Being transferred to Xingzhou City is like being equipped with an engine.

With Nie Zhenbang’s arrival, many people took the initiative to come forward and greet him.

“Good morning, Governor.”

“Hello, Governor Nie.”

“Governor, good morning.”

The styles of greetings varied, but the intention to ingratiate themselves with Nie Zhenbang was quite evident.

Lu Yong also took the initiative to extend his hand and said, “Good morning, Governor.”

Faced with Lu Yong’s initiative, Nie Zhenbang smiled faintly; in the system, it was always common to greet with a smile, so Lu Yong’s action was quite ordinary.

Knowing this well, Nie Zhenbang extended his hand and shook hands with Lu Yong, saying, “Good morning, Minister Lu. This time, it’s going to be quite demanding on you. Minister Lu, may I have a few words with Comrade Fang Yuan and Comrade Qingyuan?”

Lu Yong replied with a smile, “It’s not hard work at all, Governor, you flatter me. It’s what I’m supposed to do.”

Governor Nie wore a smile and nodded, saying, “Comrades Fang Yuan and Qingyuan, you’ll soon assume your new positions. As the leaders of a jurisdiction, starting today, you will be the public servants of the four million residents of Xingzhou City. In your work in Xingzhou City, refrain from arrogance and impetuousness. Maintain a modest and prudent style.”

After a pause, Nie Zhenbang’s voice softened, “The situation in Xingzhou City has blown up this time. With the cadre’s morale unsettled, your main task currently is to ensure the stability of Xingzhou City. I believe you both have the capability. Moreover, the reconstruction of the Xingzhou City flood dike needs to be well-managed by the municipal Party Committee and City Government. You must ensure that practical measures are implemented. Think more, consider more, and always prioritize the interests of the people. I trust that you will present a satisfactory report to the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government.”

As soon as Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, Fang Yuan, on behalf of the other newly-appointed officials, replied, “Governor, please rest assured, and the organization can rest assured. We will definitely ensure the stability of Xingzhou City and the construction of the flood dike. We will be diligent, progressive, and maintain integrity and pragmatism in all our work in Xingzhou City.”

Liu Qingyuan also nodded and added, “Please be assured, Governor, we will unite closely around Secretary Fang Yuan, and go all out to carry out the comprehensive work of Xingzhou City.”

After these words, under Nie Zhenbang’s farewell, the group got into the vehicles and slowly drove out of the residential compound of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government.

Around eleven o’clock in the morning.

The convoy slowly entered the compound of the Xingzhou City Municipal Party Committee and City Government. As they got out of the vehicles, facing the welcoming City Party Secretary Li Yunhe and City Mayor Hu Baoguang, Lu Yong nodded and immediately said, “It’s already eleven o’clock. Without delay, let’s head to the municipal auditorium first to read the Provincial Committee’s appointment.”

Subsequently, in the municipal auditorium, Lu Yong, representing the Organizational Department of the Provincial Committee, announced the orders of appointment and removal: Li Yunhe was relieved of his duties as City Party Secretary with another position pending, Hu Baoguang was relieved as Deputy Party Secretary and his removal as City Mayor was submitted to the Xingzhou City People’s Congress Standing Committee for approval, with further appointments pending. The appointment letters of Fang Yuan, Liu Qingyuan, and others were read.

Next, Li Yunhe and Hu Baoguang each made a farewell speech. Afterward, Fang Yuan straightened his body and cleared his throat before saying, “First, I would like to thank the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government for their trust, and thank Minister Lu for taking the time to come here from his busy schedule. Next, I want to thank Secretary Li Yunhe for his insightful speech. To be frank, when I learned that I was coming to Xingzhou City, I was very reluctant.”

This statement left all the cadres present in stunned silence.

PS: These past few days, I’ve been so busy with preparing for the gathering that I’ve been all out of sorts. Today will be one update, and tomorrow, I will return to two updates. (
