Reborn as a Noble's Son

Director Zhao is also one of Chen Le’s men, though he has recently allied with him. Right now, Chen Le is short of capable men and Director Zhao, being a personable man of adequate talent, he is quite suited for the role of department head even though his abilities aren’t outstanding.

Having met who he knew to be Chen Le’s boss, Nie Zhenbang, Director Zhao was now breaking into a sweat. This Yang Zehao sure chose the wrong person to provoke, he had to pick Nie Zhenbang of all people.

Thus, Director Zhao promptly went forth, joining his feet together and saluting him with a formal police salute. He said loudly: “Greetings, Director Nie. Zhao Li from West City Police Station reporting! Awaiting your orders.”

Upon hearing Director Zhao, the man next to him, Brother Yang, blanched instantly then stuttered: “Zha… Zhao… Director, this… this man is the director?”

Zhao Li now understood the situation, this Yang Zehao, despite his fondness for seeking petty advantages, and relying on his status, had certainly racked up some debts from many stalls around West City Police Station. Zhao Li had turned a blind eye to it, based on the principle that the problems weren’t major. He had not expected that this would lead to offending Nie Zhenbang.

Zhao Li had heard of Nie Zhenbang’s strong character. As the top boss of the political and legal circles, even the robust Secretary Zhao Kunlun, had ultimately made way and given up his director position. It was only because he joined under Director Nie that Director Chen is in his current position. If Director Chen were to find out about this, wouldn’t he skin him alive?

Nie Zhenbang had a gloomy expression. He said: “Director Zhao, is this person from your station? How come people are complaining about him owing debts everywhere? He doesn’t even pay attention to the ten taboos of the County Public Security Bureau and so blatantly accepts bribes; people like him, I will suggest to Chen Le to take it seriously.”

At the moment, Director Zhao nodded again and again, and then said: “Yes, I will definitely follow the director’s instructions, deal with it seriously, strictly follow the ten-taboo regulations of the Public Security Bureau, and deepen the political learning of all station police. For Yang Zehao who has openly violated the ten taboos, I will make it clear to you that we will definitely dismiss him.”

Nie Zhenbang nodded. At this moment, he could not say much. Dismissal was already the greatest punishment. To continue looking into this would be to belittle Director Nie.

Then, Nie Zhenbang said solemnly: “Director Zhao, being dismissed isn’t a solution, the lesson this time should remind your station to pay attention to the quality of the associated police officers and correctional staff. Don’t wait for problems to occur before trying to fix them, this is irresponsible towards the people. Let’s leave it at that for today.”

After leaving the evening snack stall, Dong Wan and the others had lost their interest in continuing to stroll. After the three of them returned to the hotel, the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.

Without waiting for Nie Zhenbang to speak, Li Lixue smiled and said: “Zhenbang, I’ll sleep over here tonight. You and Wan should enjoy your time together.”

At this moment, Dong Wan’s face turned a bit red. She lowered her head and glanced at the flirtatious look on Li Lixue’s face next to her, then turned her head and said: “Humph, I don’t want to spend time with him. If someone has to go, you go, Li Xue.”

The rooms in the Lixian Hotel are somewhat simple in comparison. There is no luxurious decor, and even the television is an old-fashioned color TV. The bathroom is also not as modern as those in later hotels. The kind of couple’s room in a later hotel with an obscure transparent bathroom simply doesn’t exist in this era.

As soon as they entered the room, Li Lixue went into the bathroom. The sound of flowing water was enchanting to Nie Zhenbang’s senses.

After a while, Li Lixue came out in a very hazy semi-transparent nightdress. A pink gauze nightdress with a hollowed-out bra.

“Isn’t it pretty? This is something that An Na sent us specially from Australia.” Li Lixue blushed a little.

Her face was a bit rosy, and she whispered: “Hmm, this dress, it’s too embarrassing.”

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang also laughed: “Such a beautiful dress, how could it be embarrassing? I think it’s great.”

They spent a passion-filled night together, which doesn’t need mentioning. In the second half of the night, Nie Zhenbang secretly snuck out. Over to Dong Wan. Unlike Li Lixue, who was very outgoing, Dong Wan always maintained a certain restraint. However, in private, Dong Wan was just as wild.

The next morning, Nie Zhenbang naturally opened his eyes – this had become a routine for him. Looking at Dong Wan, curled up in his arm, he carefully withdrew his hand. He cautiously dressed himself. Seeing Dong Wan’s smiling face, Nie Zhenbang, at this moment, impulsively kissed her before carefully opening the door and leaving the room.

When he arrived at the office, Yi Jun was just coming out from the inside. Seeing Nie Zhenbang, Yi Jun immediately said: “Director, the police department just called. They told me to inform you that their work is not yet in place.”

Hearing Yi Jun’s words, Nie Zhenbang suddenly said: “Yi Jun, you go and arrange for Deputy Director Li to notify Chen Le. This morning, we will visit the police department and hold a onsite office meeting.”

Nie Zhenbang had a sudden whim. With Chen Le’s ability and methods, he would surely take advantage of last night’s incident. At this time, any action could bring more advantages than disadvantages for Chen Le. In the police department, after Zhao Kunlun’s departure, he may still be the Party Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, but his superior has changed. This opening was Chen Le’s opportunity.

Half an hour later, the car was ready. It was an ordinary Santana. As soon as Nie Zhenbang came downstairs, Li Lin greeted him with a smile: “Director, I think it’s time for you to arrange a full-time driver. It will be more convenient for you.”

Hearing Li Lin’s words, Nie Zhenbang nodded in agreement. When he first took over Lixian, his position was only deputy director and he had no constant entry, so he didn’t choose a full-time driver. After that, Nie Zhenbang forgot this matter. At the moment, it seems necessary to arrange a full-time driver. Then, Nie Zhenbang also smiled and said: “Director Li, I’m afraid I’ll trouble you again to help me find a driver, just like you did with Yi Jun. He is doing a great job.”

The car quickly entered the yard of the police department. At this moment, Chen Le and several deputy leaders of the police department had already waited there. Knowing that Nie Zhenbang didn’t like pomp, Chen Le didn’t prepare a grand reception.

As soon as Nie Zhenbang got out of the car, Chen Le walked up to him with an apologetic expression on his face. He sighed and said to Nie Zhenbang: “Director, I really feel sorry. The incident last night was due to my negligence in work. Please criticize me.”

“Well, Director Chen, don’t take everything on yourself. As the proverb goes, ‘the dragon has nine offspring,’ different people require different care. The police department has a big job, it’s not possible for you to cover every part of it. That, I can understand.” Nie Zhenbang patted Chen Le’s shoulder in a friendly manner. This time, Nie Zhenbang was here to back up Chen Le, so he had to show his attitude.

Nie Zhenbang then glanced at several other deputy directors. Among them, the newly-appointed deputy director Cai Weijun, who was promoted to deputy director by Chen Le once he took over. The director of the West City Police Station was Wei Qiang.

The other few were all loyalists to Zhao Kunlun. Promptly, Nie Zhenbang changed his tone, saying: “However, Director Chen, I think it is necessary to strengthen ideological and political work in the police department. If such an incident happens, it does have something to do with some in charge. The mindset of the police department needs to change. In this era of market economy, we value the survival of the fittest. Staying conservative is unacceptable. Let’s go to the meeting room.”

As soon as they entered the meeting room, Chen Le immediately said: “Director Nie, after the auxiliary police incident, our party committee urgently convened a meeting. With the opinion proposed by Comrade Zhao Li, the party committee of our bureau intended to decide to expel Comrade Yang Zehao. In addition, the director of West City Police Station, Comrade Zhao Li, and instructor Butler were given a warning within the party.”

Chen Le paused for a moment as he glanced at the other deputy leaders beside him, then continued: “Moreover, the political and ideological work within the bureau is currently handled by Deputy Director Ma. My suggestion is to revoke the position of Deputy Director Ma as the acting deputy director, and to appoint Comrade Cai Weijun as the acting deputy director.”

Chen Le and others had the authority to make these internal appointment adjustments of the police department. Moreover, with Nie Zhenbang present, this sent a clear signal. The other deputies also realized that Zhao Kunlun’s era was over, and Chen Le’s era had officially begun.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, after Chen Le’s adjustments, apart from Cai Weijun taking the position of acting deputy director in charge of public security and criminal investigation, the newly appointed Deputy Director Yao Di also made moderate adjustments in his division, taking traffic police and patrol police into his own hands. Chen Le himself was in charge of finance. All the key departments of the police department were in Chen Le’s hands. At this time, even if Zhao Kunlun had any thoughts, he would be powerless.

At this point, Nie Zhenbang stood up and said, very satisfied: “This on-site office meeting, I think, was very successful. The party committee of the police department is still quite combatant. Please take the lessons from this incident as a warning. I believe everyone has the ideological consciousness.”

After leaving the police department and just returning to the county government office, the head of the county committee office, Qu Feng, walked in with a smile on his face. He said to Nie Zhenbang: “Director Nie, Secretary Zhang specifically asked me to notify you. Tomorrow we’re holding a Secretary Office Meeting to discuss the issue of the Development Zone.”
