Nie Zhenbang's attitude pleased Director Shen, who nodded slightly and said, "Good, this is the Nie Zhenbang I remember. Elder Nie's family education and family reputation are indeed well-deserved, truly a tiger born from a tiger."
Director Shen's words were by no means just perfunctory or made for the occasion; they were truly heartfelt. After a moment of silence, Director Shen spoke again, "Zhenbang, since you have agreed, you must prepare yourself for the work in Bashu Province. Furthermore, regarding the issue of your successor, do you have any opinions on this matter?"
Nie Zhenbang perceived Director Shen's statement as an obvious compensation. By agreeing to take on the burden of the Huaxia Group, he had cut himself off from the path forward according to the previous domestic customs. Consequently, as his leader, Director Shen would certainly compensate him.
