Nie Zhenbang had always paid close attention to this matter. As a male leader, having a female secretary—what kind of situation was that? Wasn’t it inviting criticism and giving people something to talk about?

Therefore, when it came to selecting a secretary, Nie Zhenbang was always vigilant. Starting from Lixian, there had been many secretaries by his side, all without exception, were male. This time, Nie Zhenbang had not expected that the higher-ups would assign a female secretary to him.

As an enterprise leader at the ministerial level, Nie Zhenbang certainly had the right to raise this issue with his superiors. However, upon Yun Fei’s arrival, Nie Zhenbang didn’t dare to speak out. It was useless to turn to anyone about this matter. Earlier, Minister Jiandong had already made a call, revealing a piece of information. This time, regarding the choice of secretary, it was useless for you, Nie Zhenbang, to look for anyone else. Only Director Shen or Comrade Qiao Yiren had the authority, and if these two big shots agreed to change your secretary, he had absolutely no objections.

But just this single clause completely deflated Nie Zhenbang. The recent events in Star Moon Nation had obviously left the higher-ups somewhat dissatisfied. If it had been a Party or governmental leadership position, Nie Zhenbang’s sin would have been grave. It was only because he was in a business environment, keeping a lower profile, that it was so. In the grand scheme, this was a sign of political immaturity. To put it mildly, it was a mistake of individual heroism.

Over the past few days, Yun Fei’s performance had initially satisfied Nie Zhenbang. Through many years of leadership, he had gained some insights into the use of secretaries. Despite being a woman, Yun Fei showed exceptional competence in her role as a secretary.

For instance, now she preemptively managed everything without needing to be told, a definite advantage for a leader’s secretary. She was there the first moment the leader needed her, and out of sight the moment the leader frowned. She was the leader’s shadow in times of downfall and never stood in the way of the leader’s limelight during success. That was the pinnacle of being a secretary. Clearly, Yun Fei was doing well—as of now, Nie Zhenbang was quite satisfied with her.

Taking the phone, the moment it connected, he heard the hearty voice of Song Lihe, Secretary of the Ganzhou Provincial Party Committee: “Zhenbang, my dear brother, it’s been too long.”

Nie Zhenbang’s acquaintance with Song Lihe dated back to the previous year, during the national congress sessions, when Song Lihe was the leader of the Ganzhou Provincial Delegation and Nie himself was the deputy leader of the Bashu Provincial Delegation. Their meeting venues during the sub-group discussions of the National People’s Congress were right next to each other, which led to their familiarity.

“Heh, Secretary Song Lihe, this time I come to Ganzhou, I’m planning to stay for good. From now on, Huaxia Group will be relying on Secretary Song Lihe’s support,” Nie Zhenbang said with a smile.

“Secretary Song Lihe, do you have some time now? I’d like to meet with you right away, for a discussion,” Nie Zhenbang didn’t beat around the bush much and directly broached the subject.

Upon hearing this, there was a noticeable pause from Song Lihe. Leaders like Song Lihe at his level usually had their schedules detailed and arranged in advance. Having previously served as a leader in Bashu Province, Nie Zhenbang was well aware of this.

For an impromptu matter like his, it would not be easy to find time. After a moment, Song Lihe’s voice came through, “My brother, I’ve just looked at the schedule, and in a while, I have to attend a reception dinner. It’s for a business inspection delegation from Yuedong, led by a Deputy Secretary of the Yuedong Provincial Party Committee. How about we postpone it until later? Let’s set it for tonight. The Ganzhou Provincial Party Committee will then organize a welcome dinner to honor your delegation’s arrival.”

Song Lihe’s tone was very polite, giving Nie Zhenbang much face. As a ministerial-level Secretary, Song Lihe was the top official of Ganzhou Province. Although Nie Zhenbang was of the same rank, the matter was clear—Song Lihe was not a subordinate and would deal with Nie as he pleased.

That Song Lihe was so courteous stemmed from his consideration of Nie Zhenbang’s age advantage. A ministerial-level leader not yet forty— even though Nie Zhenbang was now in business, who could say what the future held?

“Yun Fei, turn around, let’s head to the company first,” Nie Zhenbang hung up and ordered Yun Fei.

As Nie Zhenbang’s car entered the gate of Huaxia Group’s Ganzhou Base Factory Area, which was formerly the entrance to Factory 38, Zhang Shengshan and his party had just stepped out of their vehicle.

Seeing Nie Zhenbang’s car stop, they paused, and Zhang Shengshan approached with a smile, “Director Nie, after you.”

The office building of Factory 38 is in quite good condition. The six-story building isn’t tall, but it stretches out in a lengthy span, and upon entering the front lobby, there are slogans on both the left and right sides—one reads, “Military Industry Strengthens the Military, Scientific Re
