Reborn as a Noble's Son

Nie Zhenbang’s words shocked all the onlookers. The authority of Director Nie had long been tested in the county government. No official in the entire county government would dare to ignore Nie Zhenbang. Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Director Gu nodded, saying, “Yes, Director, I’ll handle it immediately. Please punish me for letting irrelevant people in.”

At this moment, Fan Jianjun, like a mad dog, released Yan Fengjiao’s hair and stood up, cocking his head, looking at Nie Zhenbang, and then began to bluster, “I wondered why you were so eager to rush to Lixian. Turns out you have a pretty boy now.”

Nie Zhenbang, being over one meter eighty tall, with a sturdy body and very fair skin, indeed looked like a handsome man.

Now, Fan Jianjun completely succumbed to a perverse mentality. If Nie Zhenbang called him a mad dog, it would be quite apt. Now, Fan Jianjun was blatantly criticizing anyone in sight.

That being said, Fan Jianjun looked directly at Nie Zhenbang and said gravely, “Nie, is this bitch satisfying? Don’t you just love to pick up trash? Her seductive mannerisms, they must satisfy you, right?”

Upon hearing Fan Jianjun’s words, everyone was shocked. This was too crazy. Yan Fengjiao had a bad reputation outside. Almost everyone in Bazhou City heard rumors that Yan Fengjiao used her body to get ahead. Now, even her own husband talks about her like this. Yan Fengjiao’s credibility in Lixian is completely gone.

Now, Yan Fengjiao was squatting on the ground, sobbing softly. Nie Zhenbang’s face darkened. There was no need to speak to this kind of person. He turned and said, “Director Gu, throw this mad dog out. From now on, if you see this mad dog entering the county government compound, you needn’t be the head of security any longer.”

Seeing that Nie Zhenbang was serious, Director Gu and several other security staff immediately grabbed Fan Jianjun’s arm and dragged him out.

Fan Jianjun had been accustomed to being reckless in Bazhou City. When he was young, his father was the secretary of the Bazhou Municipal Committee, and he was the prominent first son of Bazhou. Although his father has retired now, his influence remains. Many officials in Bazhou were promoted by his father, and the secretary of the municipal committee, Liu Wenqing, was his father’s secretary back in the day. As such, the officials of Bazhou City would usually give him some leeway.

However, he was humiliated in Lixian today. Fan Jianjun felt provoked. Pointing at Nie Zhenbang, Fan Jianjun roared, “Who do you think you are, Nie Zhenbang? Don’t you just rely on your connections? I tell you, offend me, and you will have no peace.”

These words ignited a fire in Nie Zhenbang. He rushed straight to Fan Jianjun’s face. To Nie Zhenbang’s surprise, this middle-aged man actually had the scent of perfume on him. He grabbed Fan Jianjun and started walking towards the outside of the county government compound. Nie Zhenbang’s strength was quite considerable. Not to mention Fan Jianjun, he could easily overcome several burly men. Grabbing Fan Jianjun was as easy as an eagle catching a chicken.

Thrown on the side of the road, Nie Zhenbang gravely said, “Fan Jianjun, what kind of person are you, a man who doesn’t even have a job, still having the audacity to behave like this because of your father’s residual influence? I’m not going to have peace? Humph, was my position given by your father? Even if your father was still in office, so what? I am a cadre of the Party and a public servant of the people. The world is not owned by your Fan family. It belongs to the Party!”

Nie Zhenbang’s righteous words engendered loud cheers from the onlookers. Fan Jianjun, this kind of person, was simply too despicable, assaulting a woman in public, which clearly led to public outrage.

Seeing himself being a common enemy, the target of scolding, Fan Jianjun glared at Nie Zhenbang with hateful and malicious eyes. However, the situation was stronger than the person, and he couldn’t beat him. Now, on someone else’s turf, Fan Jianjun had no method to deal with Nie Zhenbang. Instead, he vented all his anger on Yan Fengjiao. Looking at Yan Fengjiao, who was still squatting on the ground and sobbing, Fan Jianjun yelled, “Yan Fengjiao, you slut, I’ll wait for you here. If you dare, don’t leave this gate for the rest of your life.”

Such people are indeed extremely repugnant. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang felt pity for Yan Fengjiao, never imagining there were so many stories hidden behind Yan Fengjiao.

Seeing that the officials around were looking at Yan Fengjiao and discussing, despite this being a state organ, people’s curiosity was evident, especially since Fan Jianjun publicly spoke about Yan Fengjiao that way, they had even more to talk about.

Nie Zhenbang’s face darkened, he immediately said, “What are you all looking at? Don’t you have work to do? The immigration project, the education project, all these tasks need people to perform them.”

After watching the staff of the county government leave, Nie Zhenbang squatted down and looked at Yan Fengjiao. He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to her, saying in a serious tone, “County Mayor Yan, get up. Go back and rest in the office. These people are like mad dogs, biting whoever they see. Don’t worry about such things. Just do your job well. The development plan of the development zone needs someone like you in charge. I believe in your capabilities. A person who can come up with the idea to promote the development zone at the Canton Fair is certainly not someone who got to their position by using their body or by flattering others.”

Nie Zhenbang’s words stunned Yan Fengjiao. At this moment, she felt extremely wronged. Fan Jianjun’s words were incredibly harsh. Previously, when she worked in Bazhou City, Fan Jianjun often caused a commotion at her workplace. However, at most, it just involved physical violence. But now, such malicious words were still something that had never happened before.

Nevertheless, since Yan Fengjiao took office in Lixian, numerous matters in the county gave her no chance to rest. Many companies in the development zone needed her coordination for construction. After all, Yan Fengjiao also served as the director of the management committee.

At this moment, she saw Yan Fengjiao stand up. Fan Jianjun, who had been keeping an eye on this place, suddenly started to roar again: “Yan Fengjiao, you bitch, I knew it, you’re having an affair with this boy. Look at how intimate you two are. I won’t forgive you, Nie Zhenbang, I won’t let you two off.”

As soon as his voice fell, Director Gu shouted from the side: “Why are you still barking like a dog? Is Director Nie someone you can insult? Since Nie Zhenbang came to Lixian, he has done countless amount of solid work. He works overtime late into the night every day, devoting all his heart to his job. If you say another word, I will drive you out.”

Nie Zhenbang didn’t bother about Fan Jianjun anymore. Such people who are completely warped in nature do not need to be dealt with. The more you pay attention to them, the more excited they become. Seeing that Yan Fengjiao was still somewhat depressed, Nie Zhenbang sighed, “County Mayor Yan, I think you should go back to your office. The more you stay here, the more likely he is to continue making a scene.”

After returning to his office, Nie Zhenbang started to work. He wasn’t the kind of person who liked to take charge of everything. There were such people in history too, for example, Zhuge Liang, who personally took charge of everything and devoted himself to work to the point of exhaustion, and as a result, he died in the camp. Everyone has their limits in terms of energy and capability. The philosophy that Nie Zhenbang advocates is collective wisdom and collective effort.

Now, there were different people responsible for different aspects. There were Fan Zhenming from the Investment Promotion Bureau and the Publicity Department in charge of the promotional materials and brochures. The immigrant work was in the hands of Zhang Chubin. The construction of education projects was naturally led by the Lixian Education Committee. In the development zone, the deputy director of the management committee and the deputy secretary of the working committee, Yang Zhengping, handled the daily work. Thus, Nie Zhenbang seemed to have a lot of leisure time. He was only required to grasp the overall direction and overall idea, and the specific work was left to others. It was an ideal state for Nie Zhenbang. This way, he was also able to devote his energy to other aspects and manage the overall situation.

Time passed quickly, and after Nie Zhenbang got off work, he did not stay and walked out of his office. Seeing that Fan Jianjun was still squatting at the door, Nie Zhenbang frowned. However, since Fan Jianjun wasn’t causing a scene anymore, Nie Zhenbang didn’t bother about him. After all, it was a private family matter, and he didn’t know the specifics. If he got involved, it would make things worse.

Returning to his dormitory behind the county government building, under normal circumstances, Nie Zhenbang lived here. Although Li Lixue and Dong Wan were both in Lixian, considering their impact, both were unwilling to come over. Apart from weekends together at the hotel, Nie Zhenbang primarily lived here the rest of the time.

Just after taking off his shoes and putting on his slippers, Nie Zhenbang was about to cook when suddenly there was a knock on the door. This surprised Nie Zhenbang. Who was this? Coming to him just after finishing work? At this time, there was no personnel adjustment period, and there were no vacant positions in the county either. In the current stable and calm situation, the homes of the county leaders were also the quietest place.

Opening the door with doubt, Yan Fengjiao was standing at the door. Seeing Nie Zhenbang’s surprised expression, Yan Fengjiao also smiled, although it seemed somewhat forced.

“Director Nie, did I disturb you at this time?” Yan Fengjiao asked in a quiet voice.

Yan Fengjiao lived in the same building as Nie Zhenbang, except he lived on the second floor and she lived on the third. Looking at Yan Fengjiao, Nie Zhenbang was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, “No, not at all. I just got back too, I was about to cook something. County Mayor Yan, come in and have a seat.”

Yan Fengjiao nodded and walked into the room. She was wearing a light-colored dress, with white skin and meat-colored stockings. It was hard to believe that a woman in her thirties didn’t have a single wrinkle.

As soon as she entered Nie Zhenbang’s house and closed the door, Yan Fengjiao suddenly threw herself into Nie Zhenbang’s arms.
