Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang say this, Nie Guowei understood that his son's words were not aimless. Over the years, he, a deputy department-level cadre from the ministry, suddenly transferred to the remote Yuehai City and took up the post of mayor, a position at the department level. Then, by some means, he advanced to Nanhai City, a special economic zone, taking the role of Deputy Secretary of the municipal party committee in this vice-provincial-level city.
Following that, he served as mayor and subsequently returned to Yanbei Province to serve as deputy governor. Throughout this career progression, Nie Guowei saw the operation and manipulation of his sons every step of the way. To Guowei, it was an irony that his promotion required his son's arrangement and planning.
However, Nie Guowei saw it clearly that his son was far superior to him in grasping the bigger political picture. This is not something disgraceful. Conversely, Nie Guowei is proud of having such an outstanding son.
