?Chapter 1226: Chapter 1181: Inspection of the Shantytown Chapter 1226: Chapter 1181: Inspection of the Shantytown Approximately an hour later, there was a knock on the door from Xia Gang. Inside, Zhou Chaoguo stood up before Xia Gang could come in, “Secretary, you have a busy schedule, so I won’t disturb you further. Later, I will head straight back to Yizhou City and definitely address the matter in Shu?sh?n County with utmost seriousness. I’ll muster the elite and handle the investigation thoroughly to present a satisfactory result to the organization.”

“Secretary, it’s almost eight o’clock,” Xia Gang entered and, following the old routine, mentioned the time. He didn’t specify what the matter was about.

This gave some leeway when dealing with certain unperceptive officials. At eight o’clock, one could say there’s a social engagement, an activity, or some other business—a host of possible excuses. Of course, such obtuse officials were not common. Zhou Chaoguo certainly knew how things worked.

Nie Zhenbang glanced at Xia Gang, nodded, and without avoiding Xia Gang’s presence, said to Zhou Chaoguo, “Comrade Chaoguo, you’re not just presenting a report to the organization, nor merely giving me, Nie Zhenbang, an explanation. The role of a ‘parent official’ is not because we are the people’s parents, but quite the opposite—we are officials chosen by the people. We must treat the citizens as we would our own parents and provide them with a satisfactory answer.”

He personally escorted Zhou Chaoguo to the door, which made Zhou feel deeply grateful. This was the skill of a leader who dispensed both strictness and benevolence as favors.

Xia Gang took Zhou Chaoguo to the elevator then returned. Having served as a secretary for so long, Xia Gang was well-versed in the intricacies involved. There was a difference in how subordinates were treated. The regular officials compared to those who were direct subordinates of Secretary Nie—the difference was night and day, naturally reflected in the attitude as well.

Back in the office, Xia Gang also pushed the door open and entered, “Secretary, it’s eight o’clock. What do you think about having something to eat first? If you continue to have irregular meals, I won’t know what to say when your sister-in-law calls.”

Nie Zhenbang had assumed his role without bringing An Na with him, but she would basically call every day. An Na would call Nie Zhenbang and sometimes Xia Gang too, to indirectly learn about Nie Zhenbang’s real living conditions. This was not the first time.
