Chapter 974 - 974 930 Unexpected Visitor

?Chapter 974: Chapter 930 Unexpected Visitor Chapter 974: Chapter 930 Unexpected Visitor On Sunday morning, bright and early, Nie Zhenbang arrived at the provincial committee compound. The committee’s office was naturally not as bustling on the weekend, which provided Nie Zhenbang with an opportunity to spend some time on each floor. To his surprise, when he reached the third floor, he unexpectedly found Hong Feng, who was at that moment working overtime in his office.

Nie Zhenbang was very satisfied with the work ethic exhibited by his prospective secretary. After Xu Hongzhuan had sought out Hong Feng the day before yesterday, Nie Zhenbang believed that word had probably spread throughout the provincial committee.

Although he had merely given Hong Feng a task without formally deciding on anything, letting Hong Feng give it a try, there was never a shortage of people in the system who sought to forge connections in advance.

Everyone knows that it’s easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in snowy weather. Such gestures are well understood and acknowledged within the system, and making them once recognized becomes meaningless. As a result, inevitably, some people within the system look to make these charitable efforts.

Of course, this ‘sending charcoal in snowy weather’ is not genuine charity, but rather small kindnesses offered after sensing certain indicators, in the belief that the other party is unaware.

Put plainly, such gestures lose their value. Nie Zhenbang believed that on these weekend days, people must have approached Hong Feng to stoke the cold stove of favors. That Hong Feng could refuse invitations and social engagements was a pleasant surprise to Nie Zhenbang. It also indicated that after the previous events, Hong Feng’s mentality had undergone a tremendous change, and he had matured.

Without disturbing Hong Feng, Nie Zhenbang continued upstairs. He spent the morning in his office skimming through Hongjiang’s government economic work report and various data. Overall, Hongjiang’s current issues still revolved around the economy—agriculture was the dominant sector, and industrial development was weak. Tourism was not thriving. The local economy was mainly reliant on labor migration. Such an economic model had its limitations—talent was neither entering nor staying, and those who were present wanted to leave, creating a vicious cycle over time.
