?Chapter 984: Chapter 940: Recalling Bitterness, Thinking of Sweetness Chapter 984: Chapter 940: Recalling Bitterness, Thinking of Sweetness Seeing Nie Zhenbang lost in thought, Xu Hongzhuan naturally understood what Secretary Nie was currently contemplating. Secretary Nie’s status in Hongjiang Province was relatively detached because, looking through the history of Hongjiang over the years, one could find that the head positions of both the Party and government teams usually, at most, included an alternate member. However, Nie Zhenbang was a full member of the Central Committee, which was the significant difference.

At the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was only the Minister who was on an equal level for exchange with Secretary Nie. Of course, officials from Jingcheng might be regarded as one rank higher, but that would just be the rank of a Deputy Minister. If Nie Zhenbang came out to meet them and show the local respect, that would be sufficient. But now, with a group of bureau and division-level leaders coming down, it was inevitable that Nie Zhenbang would have to consider personally greeting them.

“Secretary, this time, the officials coming are from the Ministry of Civil Affairs’s Disaster Relief Department and the Assistance Department to inspect the ice disaster in our province…” Xu Hongzhuan’s words weren’t too explicit.

However, Nie Zhenbang was very clear about the implications. It was comparable to lobbying at the ministry, the difference being that local officials needed to actively go to Jingcheng to lobby for projects and support, whereas when ministry officials came down, often the situation wasn’t that severe. Usually, it was the bureau-level and division-level officials who would come down to take a look and distribute some resources. Typically, the local Party and government leaders would be very enthusiastic, not to mention accompanying them throughout the entire visit, at least meeting them and providing a reception was obligatory.

After a pause, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s follow the usual practice. When are they coming? I will make an appearance at midday to receive them.”

Saying so was already considerate and provided enough face; a local official of his rank personally attending was quite significant. The ministry officials would understand; to expect local Party and governmental leaders to accompany them throughout the whole visit would be excessive.

Xu Hongzhuan nodded. As the Secretary-General, the main aspect of his job was to anticipate the leaders’ thoughts and address their concerns, to find and fill gaps in the leaders’ work. To diligently maintain and support the leaders’ lives.

Xu Hongzhuan had mentioned everything that needed to be said. As for the decisions, it was up to the leaders’ arrangements, who would surely have their deeper considerations. His job was to do his duty and not to overstep, which wasn’t what the leaders wanted to see.
