Chapter 315: Chapter 309: Closing the Case and Returning to Beijing_2
After saying that, He Weimao intentionally avoided the topic. It was somewhat awkward when it came to his own reputation. Being too modest gave people a feeling of pretense, but not being modest would generate an impression of arrogance. It was hard to strike a balance. Avoiding the topic was, naturally, the best choice.

Later, He Weimao said with a smile, “Director Nie, Comrade Cao Zhian, Secretary of the Communist Party Committee of the East Mongolia Region, and Comrade Gu Bingyi, Commissioner of the East Mongolia Region Office, have both called me. Is Director Nie not planning to visit the East Mongolia Region?”

Nie Zhenbang’s timely compromise had won the goodwill of the East Mongolia Region and Ludong Province. The concession merely returned the power of investigation to Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee. It was no significant harm to the case. For Nie Zhenbang, perhaps it was just a trivial matter. But for Ludong Province and the East Mongolia Region, it was a big deal. If Nie Zhenbang insisted on investigation, Ludong Province and East Mongolia would not object. But if the news got out that Ludong Province had a case that neither provincial nor city level could investigate, and only the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection could intervene, it would be a whole different scenario. Thus, Ludong Province and East Mongolia were very grateful to Nie Zhenbang.

“Director He, let it go. I have been out for over ten days. It’s time to return to Jingcheng to report on my work. As for the East Mongolia Region, I’d better not go. Let’s go straight to Lu Quan City. Now that I’m on the disciplinary committee, I believe we’ll have many opportunities to meet in the future. If we don’t have business contacts in the future, I can still visit by myself. I trust that Director He will certainly welcome me then.” Nie Zhenbang pondered briefly and then declined He Weimao’s invitation.

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, He Weimao laughed, nodded, and said, “Haha, Director Nie is right. I also hope, and am willing, that there are no major incidents in Ludong, even across the nation. It’s best for us, who work for the discipline inspection commission, to have nothing to do.”

The car moved smoothly towards Lu Quan, the capital city of Ludong Province. To get to Lu Quan City from Dameng County, it wasn’t necessary to pass through the East Mongolia region where the county seat was located. The convoy set off at 9:30 in the morning and had arrived at Ludong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government compound by about 4 in the afternoon.

The six-and-a-half-hour journey was a bit faster than by bus, but not much, because the road condition in Dameng County was not good for speeding.

At this time, Secretary Huang of the Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee had already been waiting at the side. As soon as Nie Zhenbang stepped out of the car, Secretary Huang greeted him: “Director Nie, welcome, welcome. This time, you have given me quite a surprise.”

Although his words were in jest, indicating that Secretary Huang didn’t care much about, in his jokes, there was a touch of dissatisfaction.

Right now, Nie Zhenbang also smiled and said, “Secretary Huang, I apologize for the sudden visit. I went straight to Dameng County without communicating with the comrades in Ludong in time. It was a mistake on our part. Secretary Huang, you are a seasoned discipline inspector, and in front of you, I am like a raw recruit. I will need to learn a lot from you in the future.”

Hearing this, Secretary Huang seemed quite satisfied and nodded. Nie Zhenbang praised Secretary Huang while lowering his own position, not mentioning that it was Secretary Ouyang Xia’s decision. This approach greatly pleased Secretary Huang. Nie Zhenbang indeed was not a simple character to have achieved his current position at such a young age.

As a veteran discipline inspector, Secretary Huang was well aware of the procedures. Without the leader’s directive, Nie Zhenbang would not dare to make a move without informing him. The Disciplinary Commission at the district and city level could be disregarded, but the provincial level Disciplinary Commission had to be informed. Without local comrades’ cooperation, many tasks couldn’t be carried out. However, Nie Zhenbang didn’t mention that it was the leader’s directive, this fully maintained the leader’s prestige. Secretary Huang was very satisfied with this principle and method of handling affairs.

Then, Secretary Huang also said with a laugh, “Director Nie, please join us in our provincial committee conference room. Secretary Qi and Governor Guan have been looking forward to your arrival.”

Nie Zhenbang, He Weimao and Gao Wei entered the meeting room of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee, following Secretary Huang. Inside, the leaders of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee had already stood up.

Qi Quansheng, the secretary of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee, was a typical Ludong man. He was tall and muscular, with thick eyebrows and large eyes. His every movement was characterized by a certain boldness. His manner of work and speech gave others the impression of being swift and decisive.

Qi Quansheng and Nie Zhenbang merely shook hands and nodded in a formalized manner. In response to Nie Zhenbang’s goodwill shown in this case, the Ludong provincial government sent a luxury motorcade to greet him, showing they had gone to great lengths. The fact that Secretary Huang was personally sent to receive him fully demonstrated the importance that Ludong Province attached to the matter. However, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, Qi Quansheng, a central committee member himself, could not be as courteous to Nie Zhenbang as if he were a subordinate. This was considered the highest level of reception.

After everyone took their seats, Qi Quansheng took a glance around the room and loudly proclaimed: “Comrades, this time, under the guidance of comrades from the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, the Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee has solved the case involving Feng Dabiao, secretary of the Dameng County Party Committee. Having read the case report submitted by Comrade Shou Zheng, I was shocked.”

The meeting room fell silent. The leaders of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee were well aware of Qi Quansheng’s style. Qi Quansheng was a difficult man to judge. Ludong province’s economy had continuously reached new heights under his leadership, with their economic growth among the fastest in the country. This clearly showed his capabilities. Qi Quansheng himself was incorruptible, living a simple and clean life. But Qi Quansheng also had somewhat paternalistic attitudes.

After a brief pause, Qi Quansheng continued: “Comrades, with the deepening of reform and opening up. The continuous growth of economic level. The prevention and elimination of official corruption under the new circumstances is worth our deep thought. Dameng County, a county characterized by poverty across the province and the nation, yet it has produced the number one corrupt official in Ludong. This is a disgrace, a disgrace indeed. I propose that we take this case as a lesson, as an opportunity. We should carry out intensive political and ideological study. We should regard anti-corruption as a major task for the whole province. Implement President Yuan’s instructions from the central party. We must strive for clean governance, transparent systems, and fair power.”

Next, after Qi Quansheng’s speech, He Weimao, representing the special case team, gave a detailed introduction of the Dameng case to the leaders of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee.

Afterwards, at the Ludong Hotel, the provincial standing committee team leaders hosted a special banquet for Nie Zhenbang and others. Qi Quansheng and others attended the banquet and toasted Nie Zhenbang before leaving quickly. Huang Shouzheng, the Secretary of the Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee, accompanied them throughout the entire event.

After the banquet, under Huang Shouzheng’s arrangement, Nie Zhenbang and his party hurried to Lu Quan Airport to catch the eight o’clock flight back to Jingcheng.

Early the next morning, Nie Zhenbang hurried to the office building of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission. As soon as he entered his office, Gao Wei had already come in, smiling, he said: “Third brother, I finished the case files of Ludong Province last night after working overtime. Please take a look.”

Nie Zhenbang nodded, very satisfied with Gao Wei’s performance. He understood that Gao Wei, as a scion of a prominent family, held a high rank like his father. Yet, in Gao Wei, Nie Zhenbang could see a unique temperament, demonstrating a focus on the system. He saw a person worth nurturing.

Then, Nie Zhenbang also smiled and said: “Put it there, I’ll take it to report to Secretary Ouyang.”

But just at that moment, the door of the office was knocked twice, Liu Bin had already come in, looking at Nie Zhenbang and Gao Wei, and then said: “Old Third, Deputy Secretary Liu just called, asking you to come to her office.”
