After the Standing Committee meeting, under this broader context, the entire team of the Liangxi City Committee put aside their personal thoughts, even Li Guohua, who had already received a call from home. Vice Chairman Shen, who currently is set to succeed President Yuan, had a certainty that left no room for doubt.

This time, Vice Chairman Shen would be inspecting Liangxi City personally. Although Nie Zhenbang’s performance didn’t matter, everyone tried to leave a good impression on him.

As a result, the Liangxi City Committee was united as never before. From the Propaganda Department, two of the million-dollar satellite television broadcast vans were purchased at once to equip the Liangxi City Radio and Television Center. Moreover, a significant upgrade was given to the production equipment for television programs. The Liangxi City Committee personally issued instructions to recruit specialized talents in journalism and media. Such talents were enrolled under the special talent recruitment program, guaranteeing their treatment in all aspects.

In the municipal engineering department, the city replaced outdated streetlights on the main roads with brand new octagonal palace-style lights. Each road had its characteristic. The green belts on both sides of the road have also been renovated with arrays of tree canopies, a flourish of flowers and plants, rock carvings, and bonsai motives varying from place to place, yet all having their unique style.

Even on Liangxi Avenue, the city’s main road, valuable French plane trees were imported. In no time, Liangxi’s cityscape scaled a new level.

In cooperation with this, the public security bureau received orders from the city committee and notice from Nie Zhenbang. In response, Chen Le did not dare to slacken his efforts. He was well aware of the situation in his jurisdiction and had become familiar with it over the past year.

For a time, many street hooligans received warnings from the police in their jurisdictions to stay put during this period: any trouble and no one could save them.

However, some petty thieves did not take this to heart and continued operations as usual. But, after a series of crackdowns on these recalcitrant elements, fundamental changes occurred in the public security situation throughout Liangxi City.

“Mayor, our planning bureau will strictly follow your instructions given at the old city renovation project site in Guicheng. We will thoroughly implement the spirit of the city committee, strictly control all old city renovation projects, and guard this checkpoint,” said Chen Yao, director of the Liangxi City Planning Bureau, as he sat in Nie Zhenbang’s office, reporting his work. The assertiveness displayed by Nie Zhenbang made Chen Yao dare not swindle at this point, considering how unusually harmonious and united the Liangxi city committee was. Chen knew if the Mayor was displeased, no one would clean up his mess.

“Good, Director Chen. Looking at the situation, it’s apparent that our planning bureau colleagues have worked hard. However, this isn’t enough. As both individuals and officials, we should adopt a preventive mindset. Although the demolition work has been completed smoothly, it has revealed many issues. As an essential department in urban construction, the planning bureau should not limit itself to merely supervising the public. We need to intensify the supervision of the project works. We must firmly curb any attempts to modify planning privately or evade regulation by rounding corners,” Nie Zhenbang applauded before offering a word of advice.

Such positive feedback from Nie Zhenbang excited Chen Yao. Although Chen was older than Nie, as a subordinate in their professional capacity, Chen had no leverage for negotiation.

Chen Yao nodded and said, “Yes, I will heed Mayor’s reminder. In the Zhou Clan Group’s project, we have issued administrative decisions jointly with the construction bureau and other relevant departments. Many buildings using substandard steel have been demolished already.”

At this point, Nie Zhenbang’s mobile phone in his hand suddenly rang. Nie had two phones. One was the publicly-announced Mayor’s number – his work phone for day-to-day liaison with other governmental officials.

The other was his personal phone. Few people knew this number, mostly personal friends and trusted subordinates like Chen Le, Yi Jun, Yang Qingshan, and Huang Xuyang.

Others were from Jingcheng, like Liu Kun and Zhao Xinglong, as well as his family members.

The phone went ringing. Thinking it couldn’t be the officials on the city side – considering they had his fixed line number, and even Huang Xuyang had not contacted him on the phone he held. When such people needed him, they wouldn’t take this route.

Consequently, Nie Zhenbang looked at Chen Yao sitting on the couch, gestured with his hand, and said, “Director Chen, that would be all for now. You may go back. If there’s anything, feel free to find me.”

This was merely words of comfort, but they were very effective. Such assurance gave Chen Yao the confidence and left him worry-free, allowing him to tackle ongoing matters more freely.

Nie Zhenbang then waved Chen Yao off, pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket and saw that the incoming call was from Dong Wan.
