After speaking with Zhang Fangwen, Nie Zhenbang rarely left work on time. By six o'clock, Nie Zhenbang had returned to the Provincial Committee Guesthouse.
After finishing dinner, Nie Zhenbang sat on the living room sofa, watching television during his free time. Watching the daily news was a must for him.
Local leaders, like Nie Zhenbang, watched "News Broadcast" and the local news to understand the nation's dynamics and the trends and inclinations of higher-level leaders. From the news, one could discern a lot. The speeches given by leaders during inspections and the frequency of their media exposure served as references for changes in higher-level decisions.
Naturally, Nie Zhenbang was no exception. He watched the news to understand the country's dynamics and the central government's policy trends, which helped him grasp the direction from above and maintain alignment with his superiors.
