On Sunday morning, bright and early, Nie Zhenbang arrived at the provincial committee compound. The committee's office was naturally not as bustling on the weekend, which provided Nie Zhenbang with an opportunity to spend some time on each floor. To his surprise, when he reached the third floor, he unexpectedly found Hong Feng, who was at that moment working overtime in his office.
Nie Zhenbang was very satisfied with the work ethic exhibited by his prospective secretary. After Xu Hongzhuan had sought out Hong Feng the day before yesterday, Nie Zhenbang believed that word had probably spread throughout the provincial committee.
Although he had merely given Hong Feng a task without formally deciding on anything, letting Hong Feng give it a try, there was never a shortage of people in the system who sought to forge connections in advance.
