This time, Nie Zhenbang entered the Central Party School’s Refresher Course Department. The Refresher Course Department is responsible for the rotational training of medium and high-level domestic leaders.

The main classes offered include special classes for provincial and ministerial level leaders, refresher classes for provincial and ministerial level officials, refresher classes for prefectural and city level officials, refresher classes for main municipal Party and government leaders, municipal Party Secretary training classes, as well as service management work for various classes from the Central Committee, Central (Organization Department), Central (Propaganda Department), and other central departments and state organs.

Since the reform and opening up, the Refresher Course Department has had 5000 provincial and ministerial level officials, 22000 prefectural and city level officials, and 1000 county level officials study here.

This time, Nie Zhenbang is participating in the spring short-term training program of the special class for main provincial and ministerial level leaders.

The news of Nie Zhenbang attending this class immediately caused a huge sensation among all the established families in Jingcheng.

Everyone understands what this class means. The attitude of the central leadership is very clear. Since they are major leaders at the provincial or ministerial level, those who are qualified to participate in this training program are major officials from all over the country. At the very least, they are all at the level of members of the provincial party committees. This indicates that Nie Zhenbang is likely to be placed in a specific locality, at the minimum with a real position in the provincial party committee.

Because the entire class is a short-term training class, this time, it is also the smallest class, with only twelve people in total.

They are Liu Yi, the standing deputy governor and member of the Yuedong Provincial Party Committee, who is currently 53 years old; Sun Jialuo, the standing deputy governor and member of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee, currently 57 years old; Huang Jingxuan, the mayor of Chongqing City, currently 55 years old; Luo Chuncui, Secretary of the Xidu Municipal Party Committee and member of the Longxi Provincial Party Committee, currently 56 years old; Qian Jiayi, Deputy Secretary of the Caoyuan Provincial Party Committee, currently 59 years old; Jiang Yonghao, Deputy Secretary of the League Central, currently 43 years old; Li Yu (female), Director of the Organization Department and member of the Caiyun Provincial Party Committee, currently 53 years old; Caisang Duojie, deputy chairman of the Snow Area Autonomous Region government, currently 60 years old; Chen Guoqing, Director of the Propaganda Department and member of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee, currently 48 years old; Zhao Changyong, Deputy Governor of Jiangnan Province, currently 51 years old; Li Lantian, Governor of Jinmei Province, currently 56 years old; and lastly, Nie Zhenbang, head of the Three Public Affairs Office, currently 36 years old.

Twelve people, each from a different region. Some are already officials at the ministerial level, wielding substantial power. In arranging the class instructor, it also reflects the importance the central government places on the class, this time, executive vice principal of the Party School Wu Qingtian will serve personally.

In terms of dormitory arrangements, considering the level of officials, the refresher department arranged single rooms for everyone. Because everyone is studying while still holding office, the course arrangement is quite relaxed. The same is the case with whether or not to live in the dormitory.

After reporting on Friday. No class meeting was organized. After the weekend. Monday morning. At eight o’clock. All twelve people had already arrived in the classroom arranged by the refresher department.

Nie Zhenbang walked in the door, at this moment, there were already five or six people in the classroom. They all stood up.

Among them, a man in his thirties or forties spoke up: “Big brothers, this here, I think, no need to guess. It’s our youngest brother in our class. Comrade Nie Zhenbang.”

Nie Zhenbang also smiled at this moment. He recognized Jiang Yonghao, they were both officials from the Youth League. Although they had not interacted much, he still recognized him.

“Brother Jiang, you came early. Apparently, you’ve gotten familiar with the older brothers. I am fortunate to be able to join this class with you all. I will have to rely on your care in this upcoming month.” Nie Zhenbang spoke quite modestly.

Subsequently, the other people arrived one after the other. Among the twelve classmates, Nie Zhenbang only recognized Jiang Yonghao and Chen Guoqing, the director of the Propaganda Department of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee. The others were not within his scope of inspection. Nie Zhenbang thought about this deeply.

Eight-thirty

At this time, Wu Qingtian, the executive vice-principal of the Party School, and Qiao Yiren, the principal, walked in from outside. Wu Qingtian was in charge of the class meeting. Then Qiao Yiren gave an important speech at the class opening meeting. With that, the day’s affairs were basically completed.

At this level, after all, they all hold significant power. Regarding discipline, it naturally won’t be too strict.

Take the class advisor Wu Qingtian for instance. His own level is roughly the same as a few comrades in class. If he were to manage too strictly, and if someone doesn’t play ball. It would be embarrassing for both sides to not back down, and it wouldn’t look good. Therefore, this class prioritizes self-discipline rather than strict regulation.

At this moment, a middle-aged man got up. He was about fifty years old, had thick eyebrows and bright eyes, and some balding on his head. He wore a dark jacket. His body shape represented the typical shape you see in many bureaucrats within the system, slightly overweight.

At this moment, with a smile, the man said, “Leaders, our gathering is a result of destiny. Since we’ve all gathered here today, let me be the host and invite you all to lunch. We can take this opportunity to enhance our bond, what do you say?”

As soon as the words were spoken, off to the side, the only female student, Li Yu from Caiyun Province, chuckled and said, “Old Sun, that’s simply not right of you. What do you mean by ‘all of you leaders’? We are all classmates. For saying that, you should be punished to drink three cups of wine.”

Sun Jialuo let out a hearty laugh at that moment and said, “Sister Li, you set a high standard for organization work and you are careful with your words. Fine. I, Sun Jialuo, will take the punishment of drinking three cups of wine.”

By the end of the meal, everyone appeared to be much more at ease with each other. Sun Jialuo seemed to be particularly lively and free-spirited. As it was a private dinner, no bill was spotted. Nie Zhenbang found it inappropriate to comment. After the meal, naturally, everyone went their separate ways. They were not children, each had their own paths.

Like Caisang Duojie, apart from attending training, he also took on the significant task of going to the development bureau for a project.

Furthermore, even without any tasks, once in Jingcheng, naturally, there would be some friends and leaders to visit.

Nie Zhenbang made a call to Qiao Yiren. Now, the status of Secretary Qiao had been formally established. It could be said that domestically, it was already semi-public. From what it appeared currently, this year Qiao Yiren and Mu Dingjian would replace Qian Shengtao and Zhu Xiaojun and officially enter the core of the government. Qiao Yiren would serve as the Vice President of the country and Mu Dingjian would naturally become the Vice Premier.

At this moment, Qiao Yiren still had his office in the school. A stranger’s voice came over the phone as soon as it was connected, “Hello, who are you looking for?”

Nie Zhenbang knew that it must be Qiao Yiren’s new secretary, and replied with a chuckle, “Could I speak to Secretary Qiao? This is Nie Zhenbang from the Bureau of Officials.”

A moment later, Qiao Yiren’s voice came through the phone. His hearty laughter echoed in Nie Zhenbang’s ears, “Ha-ha, is that you, Zhenbang? Are you downstairs in my office building?”

Qiao Yiren had expected Nie Zhenbang’s arrival quite early. On one hand, Nie Zhenbang was his old subordinate, and on the other hand, now that Nie Zhenbang was studying at the party school and Qiao Yiren was the principal, it was only natural to call on him both officially and personally.

In response, Nie Zhenbang laughed and said, “Secretary, you’re prescient. I’m downstairs. Do you have time now?”

As soon as the words fell away, there was a pause on the other end of the line. Qiao Yiren was increasingly busy these days, so he probably didn’t know how to arrange his time.

After a while, Qiao Yiren’s voice came again, “Come on up. I have a bit of free time.”

Qiao Yiren’s office was quite simple. Upon entering, a man about forty years old greeted Nie Zhenbang, and said very politely, “You must be Comrade Nie Zhenbang. I am Chief Ye’s secretary, Ye Zijian. Director Nie, please come this way.”

Ye Zijian’s words were very polite, which fully demonstrated that he had already understood the relationship between himself and Qiao Yiren.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was also very polite, nodding and saying, “Brother Ye, you’re too kind. I’ll go in first. If we have the chance, I’ll have a good conversation with you.”

The moment he entered, Qiao Yiren stood up. This kind of respect also showed the importance Qiao Yiren attached to Nie Zhenbang. With a nod towards the sofa in front, Qiao Yiren smiled and said, “Zhenbang, do you have any views about attending the party school?”

Upon hearing Qiao Yiren’s words, Nie Zhenbang fell into deep thought. He had collaborated with Qiao Yiren for nearly four years and understood Qiao Yiren’s working style and personality. Qiao Yiren was never one to make baseless inquiries.

He organized his thoughts, and then Nie Zhenbang spoke slowly, “Secretary Qiao, I have some thoughts, but I’m not sure if they’re correct.”

At this moment, hearing Nie Zhenbang’s formal words, Qiao Yiren laughed heartily. “You’ve become more cautious during the year I haven’t seen you, Nie Zhenbang. Do you really need to be like this in front of me? Just say it.”

Encouraged by these words, Nie Zhenbang immediately nodded and said, “Secretary, considering the composition of my classmates, only Chen Guoqing from Ludong Province is within my scope of investigation. The rest of the cadres are strangers to me. So I think the main purpose of this short training is to expand my network.”

Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Qiao Yiren showed an appreciative smile. Indeed, this was the main reason for Director Shen’s task. While Nie Zhenbang had the advantage of age, he still lacked political connections, especially at higher levels. This time, he had met many provincial and ministerial leaders through inspection, but that was still not enough. This training was a great opportunity to build the network. (To be continued.
