Chapter 395: Chapter 382: Establishment of the Spinning Group_1
In one move, he replaced the heads of twenty city departments. Regardless of their factional allegiances, all were approved. That alone was enough to instill a sense of fear into all the city’s officials towards Nie Zhenbang. It was a universally accepted truth among the city’s officials that one must not underestimate Mayor Nie. Offending him would mean potentially losing one’s position overnight, even while still dreaming about it.
“Crash!”
This was the sound of a glass shattering. In a spacious, empty room, this sound was especially piercing. At this moment, it happened inside a high-end villa complex in the Xishan district of Liangxi City.
In a European-style villa, Persian rugs from Turkey adorned the floors, and French fireplaces were fixtures of the luxurious interior. Underneath a magnificent chandelier in the living room, Li Guohua’s face was a picture of livid anger.
“Fan Changsheng, Nie Zhenbang, you’re despicable!” Li Guohua roared softly to himself.
Fan Changsheng and Nie Zhenbang, they were in perfect harmony when deciding on the heads of twenty city departments. His own people were all sidelined to insignificant positions. To Li Guohua, this was an act of provocation against him.
“Young Master Hua, don’t be angry. I fancy a car, will you buy it for me?” A delicate voice said sweetly from the side. A voluptuous and stunning woman – now dressed in nothing but a sheer gown. The lacy bra underneath was clearly visible through the diaphanous material.
She rubbed her ample chest on Li Guohua’s arm repeatedly, gradually arousing him. A little smile crossed the seductive woman’s face, and with a smooth movement of her delicate, fair arm, she lightly caressed the area below his abdomen.
Her voice was seductively whispering, “Young Master Hua, I want…”
Li Guohua’s fingers slid over the woman’s shapely buttocks, the touch was even more exciting through the thin gown. He gripped her buttocks hard, causing the woman to let out a soft gasp.
Laughingly, Li Guohua cursed, “You little minx, tell me, what car do you want?”
At his words, the woman became even more enthusiastic. She wrapped herself around him like a koala, fully making use of her bodily attributes and tried her best to stir Li Guohua’s primal desires.
She murmured, “Young Master Hua, I like Porsche cars. The sports car model this year is quite nice.”
As she spoke, her fingers gently unfastened his belt along with his pants. Just as they were about to proceed to the next phase, the phone in the living room rang.
Li Guohua instantly stood up, picked up the phone, and said irritably, “Hello, who is this?”
A stern voice came from the other end, “Li Guohua, your guts have gotten quite big. You even refuse to keep your phone switched on now.”
At this sentence, Li Guohua tensed up. He was all too familiar with that voice. It was his father, Li Jiangshan’s voice. Immediately, any desire Li Guohua had was extinguished.
Despite Li Guohua’s defiant demeanor outside, he was very well-behaved in front of his elders at home. In fact, this was a universal failing among the offspring of Jingcheng’s noble families, they were like tigers outside but turned into domestic cats at home in front of their elders.
Of course, Nie Zhenbang was an exception to this rule, which could be largely attributed to his upbringing outside Jingcheng.
Soon after, Li Guohua waved dismissively at the woman next to him, adjusting his mentality, he said with a mournful face, “Father, what did I do this time? I didn’t do anything. And, haven’t I changed since I returned from overseas, don’t you understand that?”
Li Jiangshan knew this well enough. His son had been a lawless entity before he went abroad. Fearing that his eldest grandson would cause a significant scandal, the patriarch of Li family had sent Guohua abroad. Since his return these years, Guohua had been performing admirably and had earned the family’s approval. However, his recent actions had nettled Li Jiangshan.
“Didn’t do anything? You scoundrel, a few days ago, Minister Shengdong from the Central Organization Department called me. You know very well what is going on in Liangxi City. You overstepped bounds! This is a decision from the State, it’s part of the overall plan of Premier Yun and Secretary General Yuan. What do you count for? You think you are immortal?” Li Jiangshan again scolded him over the phone.
After a while, Li Jiangshan had had his fill of scolding. His tone softened, and he said in a serious tone, “You remember this, do not meddle with that lad from the Nie family for now. Right now, you are the one wearing shoes, and he is barefoot. Without Nie Huating, Nie Zhenbang is nothing. Comparing Nie Guodong and Nie Guowei, there’s simply no competition. In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities. You understand?”
None of the city officials in Liangxi City were aware of the shift in Li Guohua’s attitude and strategy, nor did anyone deliberately try to understand these matters.
At the moment, Nie Zhenbang was focusing all his efforts on the Spinning Group. After a month, the city’s disciplinary investigation team finally withdrew from the Spinning Group.
From the top management of the three factories of the Spinning Group, in the end, only three deputy factory directors and two chief engineers remained. All others, excluding Yao Yuhong who had been transferred, were rounded up. For a while, there was a shortage of management staff within the Spinning Group.
