Mu Dingjian paused before saying, "There isn't much else to instruct you on. The local level is different from the central government, and this time, you're heading down to take on the leading position in the party committee. This is an experience you haven't had before."
When Nie Zhenbang was in Lixian, and Lixian was upgraded to Lizhou City, he did serve as the secretary of Lizhou's city committee. However, that was just at the county and division level. After that, Nie Zhenbang never held a leading position in the party committee. Secretaries manage people, and the government handles affairs. Nie Zhenbang was always one to manage affairs. Now, with the change in role, and an elevation to this level so rapidly, it was indeed quite rare.
