Chapter 918: Chapter 874 Speech Chapter 918: Chapter 874 Speech On this end, after receiving the notice from Nie Zhenbang, Zhao Xinglong and Li Hua were naturally very happy. Longhua Mining was set to expand its business scope and variety, and they certainly would not miss out on mineral resources like borax.
Instantly, Zhao Xinglong arranged for a team of professional experts, led personally by him, to set off for the Starmoon Nation.
Meanwhile, over in the Starmoon Nation, under Emerson’s arrangements, Nie Zhenbang’s people smoothly boarded the anti-missile destroyer docked at the Ground Navy Port. Of course, accordingly, they made sure to tour the Navy Military Technology Re
Standing aside, Nie Zhenbang didn’t speak. At this moment, with tempers flaring, Nie Zhenbang clearly understood he could only let the leader vent; to speak now would be like seeking death.
Comrade Qiao Yiren, looking at Nie Zhenbang, seemed slightly exasperated. He took a few deep breaths and sat down before speaking in a grave tone, “A gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall. Do you know where this saying comes from?”
Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang felt a sense of relief. With that, he knew the source of Comrade Qiao Yiren’s anger; it must stem from his boxing match in Star Moon Nation.
Outwardly, Nie Zhenbang replied with great respect, “This saying was by Confucius. The complete passage reads: ‘To guard against disasters from the outset to avoid them beforehand is to spare the feelings of distress. Being cautious and prudent, a gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall, lest he disregards it casually.’ The meaning is to anticipate and prevent potential dangers, to detect latent risks and take preemptive measures. If in a precarious position, one should leave in advance.”
As soon as Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, Comrade Qiao Yiren continued the topic, “You do understand. Then why make such an ignorant mistake this time? Don’t tell me about fulfilling the mission; there are many ways to achieve it. And you, Nie Zhenbang, ever since you entered politics, starting from Lixian, you’ve always been unconventional. Tell me, where haven’t you caused heart-stopping alarm? That’s just part of your nature; within the system, it’s alright, there’s danger but not to the extent of life-threatening risk. This time you’ve outdone yourself by getting physically involved. What do you think you are? A savior? Have you considered your parents, family, children? Have you thought about whether you’ve lived up to the leaders’ trust, the organization’s cultivation, the expectations of the nation and its people? ‘Those who labor with their minds govern others; those who labor with their strength are governed by others.’ Look at Zhuge Liang; despite his immense talent, he had to handle everything personally. Yet, what was the outcome? Identifying and cultivating talent is the correct principle of employing people. You, a ministerial level official, taking matters into your own hands. If word gets out, wouldn’t that be a joke? You must deeply reflect on this issue. Realize the seriousness and the errors in your ways. To put it bluntly, this is a typical manifestation of political immaturity.” (
