With regard to Comrade Mu Dingjian, Nie Zhenbang doesn’t really know him well. In his previous life, when Mu Dingjian truly emerged in front of the public, it was already in the new century. At this point in time, Mu Dingjian still maintained a low-key status. As a matter of fact, the Crown Prince was still governing in one of the provinces, and the current head of state had only just ascended to power. For the Crown Prince, this moment did not carry any particular meaning. The head of state had only managed to shake off the role of Crown Prince for less than a year.

Naturally, nobody paid any attention to the league faction until the end of that century when the Crown Prince made his appearance with an air of arrogance. That was when the league faction gradually rose to prominence.

At this moment in his past life, as the Nie family’s power was on the decline, the head of state didn’t pay them much attention. By the time the Crown Prince took center stage. The Nie family had long been distanced from the power center. But the one thing Nie Zhenbang distinctly remembers was that during Mu Dingjian’s tenure as the chairman of the National Youth League, he did something that was still vividly in Nie Zhenbang’s memory.

In the bureaucratic world, how to manage and self-capacity – these are one aspect. In addition, how to earn the recognition of the senior leadership is the most important aspect. Yet, the key is how to approach, how to gain the recognition of the leadership. Simply put, it’s about reaching their hearts.

The Youth Civilization Award, this project began two years later. As the planner, Nie Zhenbang believes that even if Comrade Mu Dingjian was not the original creator of this project. However, it was carried out during his term, which means Mu Dingjian supported this project. It is even likely that he was the one who designed the project. If he could initiate this project in advance, then, he would definitely make a strong impression on Mu Dingjian.

Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang picked up his pen and wrote down his first line on the paper “Plan for launching the Youth Civilization Award selection campaign nationwide”.

The plan, nearly twenty thousand characters long, emerged vividly on paper. From the original intention of establishing the Youth Civilization Award to its symbolic significance. Additionally, how the selection will be carried out and how many tiers it should be divided into, all of these plans are very detailed. The handwriting is fluid, clear, and well-structured — an apt display of Nie Zhenbang’s profound knowledge as a top student in the Chinese department at Jingcheng University.

The next day at work, as soon as he entered the office, Zheng Gensheng had already stood up smiling, “Zhenbang, you are a rare visitor, why did you come over today?”

At the side, his other colleagues also smiled knowingly. A twenty-five or six-year-old girl next to him also laughed, “Youngmaster Nie is here to inspect the work, Zheng brother, you just don’t understand.”

Ever since Liu Yang was humiliated in public last time, not only did he not retaliate, he soon transferred from the youth committee. The people in the office realized that Nie Zhenbang’s background was not ordinary. Despite not knowing the specifics of Nie Zhenbang’s backing, the fact that he could easily secure a private room at the Capital Restaurant and quickly oust Liu Yang were enough to command awe from colleagues.

At the moment, hearing the good-natured teasing from his peers, Nie Zhenbang also laughed, “Brother Zheng, Sister Su, are you all teasing me? Fine, how about I treat you all again tomorrow?”

Speaking of which, Nie Zhenbang had also approached Zheng Gensheng’s desk, pulled up a chair, sat down and said seriously, “Brother Zheng, take a look at this. I worked on it yesterday. Do you think there’s a chance our leader might see it?”

By “leader”, Nie Zhenbang was not referring to their direct superior, Director Guo. At this time, the term “boss” was not widely used to address senior leadership or department heads. The term “leader” here refers to the department head. The common leaders and deputy leaders of a department are generally addressed by their post.

Upon hearing Nie Zhenbangs words, Zheng Gensheng, who hadn’t yet looked at the paper, was stunned. This man, who wasn’t like the rest of them, was already considering the leaders the moment he produced something.

Soon after, Zheng Gensheng also grew serious, he opened the paper, and as soon as he read the title, he was taken aback. Nie Zhenbang’s plan was indeed bold.

The deeper he read into it, the graver Zheng Gensheng’s expression grew.

When he finished reading the entire plan, the only thing left on Zheng Gensheng’s face was admiration. This plan was definitely bold, but also thorough. It was in sync with the era’s context. From Zheng Gensheng’s perspective, it did have strong feasibility. If he could get involved in this plan…

At this thought, Zheng Gensheng also stood up, his expression serious as he said, “Zhenbang, if possible, may I join your plan?”

As he spoke, Zheng Gensheng discarded any air of seniority. Instead, he put himself in the position of a collaborator, showcasing his intelligence. Although he was not entirely sure of Nie Zhenbang’s status, he knew Nie Zhenbang could certainly achieve his goals without him. But the fact that Nie Zhenbang had shown him the plan meant that Nie Zhenbang was looking to bring him along.

Seeing Zheng Gensheng’s attitude, Nie Zhenbang also laughed. Indeed, this was his intention. Although he had almost zero experience in the political field, he was now slowly accumulating knowledge and the advantage he currently held was his twenty years’ worth of extra experience.

However, as the saying goes, ‘it takes a village to raise a child,’ and ‘a fence has three stakes.’ In Jingcheng, all families valued power and networking, including the factions that would dominate Huaxia for the next couple of decades.

He could not rely on the Nie family’s influence forever. The patriarch of the Nie family would pass away eventually, and his father, Nie Guowei’s network of relationships was not extensive. Therefore, starting from this moment, he had to begin building his own network. People like Liu Kun, Li Lixue, and Yang Anbang were his future connections, even if their relationship was currently based on business. But Zheng Gensheng was the first political connection that Nie Zhenbang valued.

Nie Zhenbang had observed Zheng Gensheng closely. The man was in his late twenties, had much potential for growth, and lacked political baggage. Such a person was worth winning over. Moreover, Zheng Gensheng had proven to have excellent political savvy and skill – someone who Nie Zhenbang would want to be his right-hand man in the future.

Considering Zheng Gensheng’s attitude, Nie Zhenbang felt satisfied. He was indeed intelligent. Nie Zhenbang replied with a smile, “No need for formalities, Brother Zheng. Let’s work on this together.”

Shortly after Nie Zhenbang re-fixed the plan with Zheng Gensheng, he quickly submitted it to Director Guo.

In the office of Director Guo

Nie Zhenbang was sitting solemnly on the sofa, facing Director Guo behind his desk, waiting for him to give a response.

Director Guo was quite astonished at Nie Zhenbang. This young man had a deep background. Zhou Yun from the personnel department was someone Director Guo knew well – she was the wife of a certain family member in Jingcheng. Although her husband’s family was not one of the significant clans, it was still a medium-sized family.

Zhou Yun usually carried an air of superiority in the committee. However, seeing her attitude towards Nie Zhenbang, Director Guo could not underestimate him.

Just as Director Guo was about to light a cigarette, Nie Zhenbang came forward somewhat cheekily, pulled out a packet of special supply Panda cigarettes from his pocket, and promptly handed him one. He then placed the entire packet on the desk, saying with a laugh, “Director Guo, these are for you to smoke; they’re from my home. I don’t smoke often, so please help yourself.”

Seeing the special supply Panda cigarettes on the table, Director Guo was taken aback once more. He looked at Nie Zhenbang and said, “Zhenbang, I’ve read your plan, it’s excellent. I submitted it the day before yesterday. Secretary Mu wants you to visit his office tomorrow morning. Perform well. I always knew you were not ordinary.”

At that moment, Director Guo was trying to express his goodwill towards Nie Zhenbang. However, Nie Zhenbang was taken aback and his mind went blank.. Was he finally going to meet Mu Dingjian?
