The office building of Liangxi City's municipal party committee and government would appear, at first glance, to be two separate structures. However, in reality, it is a single building.
The two sections are connected by sky bridges. Viewed from the outside, the façade concealed under a curtain wall gives the impression of an undivided building. Yet internally, the divisions are discernibly clear.
Fan Changsheng's office and Nie Zhenbang's office are on the same floor, but one is situated at the far east, the other at the west.
Being a floor for the municipal committee leaders, the entire hallway is extremely quiet. Walking down the corridor, Nie Zhenbang encountered no one until he reached the entrance of Fan Changsheng's office. He raised his hand to knock on the door. A voice answered from within, "Come in."
