Chapter 54 Officialdom Layout

  Less than ten minutes after Liu Kun hung up the phone, a Santana drove to the hotel entrance. In this era, Santana was absolutely a rare commodity among cars, except for a few Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Beijing.

  In other provinces and cities, especially in places like the Prairie Province, Santana is absolutely a symbol of status. The car stopped, and a young man had already gotten out of the car.

  He is about 1.7 or 1.8 meters tall. His hair is that kind of long hair like a literary youth. His beard is messy. It has a very decadent feel to it.

  As soon as he saw Liu Kun, the young man was very enthusiastic and opened his arms. He welcomed him with great fanfare: "Kunzi, my brother! Long time no see! You're not in Beijing enjoying good fortune, how did you end up in this poor and remote place of Grassland Province?"

  Liu Kun was also delighted at this moment, and after a hug, he punched the man's chest with his fist, laughing: "You little devil, you're getting more and more artistic. With that decadent gaze of yours, I don't know how many literary girls will be infatuated with you. Does your old man allow you to behave like this?"

  Originally, there were some happy men who, as soon as they heard this sentence, immediately calmed down. Although their faces still had a smile, it wasn't so natural: "What nonsense. I call this free love, do you understand? Besides, my old man is now busy taking care of himself, how can he still have time to control me?"

  Liu Kun snorted in response, saying disdainfully: "The Supreme Leader has said that any courtship not aimed at marriage is just being a philanderer."

  Liu Kun is also a clever person, knowing that the main hall is not a place for conversation. He smiled and said: "Let's go, the private room has been booked. This time I'll introduce you to a real personality in Beijing, one of the best. Nowadays, all the brothers are following him."

  Liu Kun's family background was also known to the man. Seeing Liu Kun like this, the man's expression also became serious.

  As the two men walked into the private room, Nie Zhenbang also stood up. It wasn't that the man's status was particularly high. Nie Zhenbang did this entirely to give Liu Kun face. Sometimes, these small details are the key to determining success or failure.

  As expected, seeing Nie Zhenbang's actions, Liu Kun's face also revealed a brilliant smile. In front of his friends, San Ge did this, which was considered to be giving Liu Kun full face.

  Liu Kun also smiled and said: "Third brother, let me introduce you. This is my childhood friend and brother, Liang Liguang. He's the son of Deputy Secretary Liang of Grassland Province."

  Nie Zhenbang also burst out laughing, looking at the very artistic Liang Ligui in front of him, and said: "In the Analects, there is a sentence that says 'The use of ritual, harmony is precious.' Your old man is indeed a cultured person. The name Ligui is really fitting."

  As soon as the voice fell, Liang Liguang was shocked and opened his mouth wide. Nie Zhenbang gave him a feeling that was really too shocking. Judging from his age, he estimated that he was about the same as himself. In fact, it's possible that he's even younger than himself. But the demeanor emanating from his body, as well as this vast knowledge, made Liang Liguang extremely surprised.

  Looking at Liu Kun beside him, he said: "Kunzi, this brother of mine is a great guy. My name has been ridiculed by the officials in the Grassland Province, saying it's too rustic. But Third Brother here is the first person to see through this truth. I admire you, little brother."

  Liu Kun burst out laughing and said with a proud smile: "Of course. Otherwise, how could I be your third brother? It's an honor to introduce him to you formally. This is Nie Zhenbang, the third child in his family. You can just call him Third Brother like me."

  Nie Zhenbang immediately pressed his hand and smiled: "Alright, alright. Everyone sit down. Eat while we talk."

  The various big meals with prairie characteristics were all brought up. Cheese and milk wine were also brought up. Liang Ligui, at this moment, was also paying attention to and observing Nie Zhenbang. Liu Kun's introduction just now was very vague. However, from the meeting to now, a lot of things have been revealed.

  Liu Kun's family background, Liang Ligui also knew that although the old man was a revolutionary martyr, however, the old man's romantic feelings were still there. Nowadays, some big shots in Beijing still take care of Liu's family to some extent. In the circle, Liu Kun is also considered a celebrity. Even Liu Kun hangs out with him, which explains it all. Third Brother is not simple. Moreover, from the moment he entered the door, Third Brother's words were polite, but there was a sense of reserve and calmness in his demeanor. He didn't care about his own identity at all. Plus, he had the surname Nie. There aren't many big shots with the surname Nie in Beijing. At this point, Nie Zhenbang's identity was already apparent.

  Don't look at Liang Ligu's artistic youth appearance. However, Liang Ligu is a reliable assistant to Deputy Secretary Liang at home.

  Then, Liang Ligui stood up with a cup of white wine: "Third brother, first meeting. I'll drink to you. I finished it, you do as you please. From now on, if Third Brother has anything to do in this grassland province, as long as it's something Liang Ligui can do, just look for me."

  Liu Kun nodded in satisfaction at this moment. Just as Nie Zhenbang guessed, Liu Kun called over Liang Liguang, and it was the same meaning. Since returning from the Soviet Union this time, Liu Kun has understood that he and those people in the Beijing circle are not opponents of San Ge at all. Fortunately, he is now also considered a trusted aide to San Ge.

  As the saying goes, when one man gets Tao, his chickens and dogs rise to heaven. Not to mention blessing his neighbors. At least bring a few sworn brothers along. This is still acceptable.

  Too much is also not allowed, after all, Nie Zhenbang is Nie Zhenbang, he is him. For Nie Zhenbang, it may be an easy thing to do. But, it still depends on whether the other party is willing or not.

  Now, Liang Ligui himself understands the taste, takes this step out, and then, as long as he says a few more words on his own, that is, as long as Nie Zhenbang does not object, it will be incorporated into Nie Zhenbang's system.

  Liu Kun smiled and said, "Third Brother, there's something else I need to trouble you with. Lixi's family old man has been having some bad luck lately. What do you think? Should we give him some guidance?"

  In Liu Kun's mind, Nie Zhenbang's guidance was just a matter of borrowing the power of the Nie family. Nie Zhenbang is also deep in thought at this moment. Now, the situation of the Nie family is that they have enough prestige in the military. After all, Old Master Nie came from the military and is still the second-in-command. Plus, Eldest Brother Nie Guotang is currently serving as the commander of the Northwestern Military Region, just need to get through this term, reach the age limit, and he will inevitably be promoted to the position of commander of a major military region. However, the Nie family is still a bit weak in terms of government connections and other aspects.

  For Nie Zhenbang, who clearly knows the future, the role of the military will be greatly weakened afterwards. The number one leader in the future will all come from the government system. For someone like Nie Zhenbang who is ambitious, how to increase the status and connections of the Nie family within the government system is also a problem that needs to be considered.

  In the east of Guangdong, I also established a relationship with Guo Ming in Pengcheng. I believe that afterwards, Lao Tou Zi will seize this opportunity to solidify this interdependent relationship with Vice Governor Guo. Now, if we can get Deputy Secretary Liang into the Nie family's system, then adding to the people from the Nie family who are currently in government, it would be a considerable force.

  Nie Zhenbang also smiled and said: "Oh? Li Gui brother, what's the difficult thing that you're having trouble with. Go ahead and say it."

  Seeing Liu Kun's encouraging eyes, Liang Ligu immediately smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. Third brother, you are clear that this is the year of change. Now, apart from my old man, there is also Wang Boda, the executive vice governor of Grassland Province, who has the qualifications to compete for the position of Governor of Grassland Province. Behind Vice Governor Wang stands the Wang family. The Wang family is now in its heyday. My old man is a native-born commoner, and back then in Beijing, he only knew Kunzi's father. Now, it can be said that he has a heart but no power."

  Liu Kun's old man, should be five or six years younger than this Deputy Secretary Liang. However, even so, this Deputy Secretary Liang, was able to climb from a deputy department-level cadre in the capital city to his current deputy ministerial level. This is enough to illustrate the strength of his abilities.

  The Wang family. That is the main force under Xu Ri's command, and it can be said that they are the backbone of the conservative faction. In those days, they were one of the two pillars supporting the conservative faction along with the Nie family. As for the Wang family, Nie Zhenbang was very familiar with them, but there wasn't an outstanding third-generation descendant.

  Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang stood up and said: "Li Gui, you and Kunzi sit down first, I'll make a phone call."
