Reborn as a Noble's Son

Chapter 650: Chapter 606 Jiang Ruoxuan Goes Abroad_1

Xiang Qiurong’s words caused Yi Mingyang’s mouth to twitch slightly. She was being overly pretentious. Didn’t she understand what was happening in Wanghai City? If with the abilities that Xiang Qiurong had shown, she was able to achieve the position of Minister of Propaganda in the Provincial Committee, he wondered how.

But anyway, even though Xiang Qiurong pretended to be ignorant, Yi Mingyang couldn’t do much about it. He had to bow his head under the eaves for now.

Yi Mingyang laughed, saying, “Minister Xiang Qiurong, this time’s investigation into the lifestyle of Comrade Nie Zhenbang, the mayor of Wanghai, and the attitude of Journalist Jiang Ruoxuan from the Wanghai TV Station… I find her attitude quite unsatisfactory. As the saying goes, no smoke without fire. In both her work and life, this female comrade has several shortcomings. Encouraging such people to be responsible for news publicity, I suggest Minister Xiang, you might need to reconsider.”

It seemed as if Yi Mingyang was giving a mere appraisal, yet between the lines, he clearly delivered a message. Jiang Ruoxuan should be transferred from her current position.

At this moment, Xiang Qiurong fell into deep thought as a woman. She was very aware of how hard it was for female cadres to make a name for themselves within the system. As for Jiang Ruoxuan, she felt quite sympathetic.

However, although Yi Mingyang was talking like this, no news had been released from his side, which clearly showed that these allegations were just smear tactics.

But, Xiang Qiurong was also pondering, refusing to meet Yi Mingyang’s request would certainly strain their relationship. This would limit her choices in the Provincial Committee.

Considering she was promoted by Chen Renqing, and did not align exactly with the current Secretary Qiao, if she offended Yi Mingyang next, her position might be at risk. With that in mind, Xiang Qiurong made up her mind, smiling slightly said, “Vice Secretary Yi, your suggestion is very pertinent. I also believe it necessary to reconsider Jiang Ruoxuan’s position and responsibilities.”

…

Like always, Jiang Ruoxuan would arrive at the Wanghai City TV Station office building early in the morning.

However, that morning, right after she walked in the door, a female colleague saw her and immediately went to previously unused side without even greeting her.

As soon as she entered the news center, the director walked out. He looked at Jiang Ruoxuan, appearing quite conflicted. From both personal and professional points of view, Jiang Ruoxuan was a very good person, yet she had unfortunately offended someone who should not have been offended.

As he was about to speak, Hu Fei had already come over. At that moment, there was a expression of superiority on Hu Fei’s face, he questioned, “Oh, isn’t that the famous reporter Jiang? Why are you at work so early?”

When she saw Hu Fei, Jiang Ruoxuan felt a sense of disgust. If it hadn’t been for this guy, Mayor Nie wouldn’t have suffered such an unwarranted disaster. Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoxuan’s face turned gloomy. “Hu Fei, why are you here? This is our workplace, please leave immediately.”

Hu Fei, instead of leaving, laughed loudly. He looked at Jiang Ruoxuan contemptuously and said, “Reporter Jiang, you don’t seem to know yet. You are no longer a member of the news center. You have been transferred to the logistics center.”

With an exaggerated expression, Hu Fei said, “A rising star in the media world who suddenly gets assigned to the logistics center cleaning offices. I wonder what kind of feelings and thoughts Reporter Jiang will have?”@@novelbin@@

Hu Fei’s words made Jiang Ruoxuan stunned. The director of the news center came over and whispered, “Ruoxuan, we just received news from the station. Director Cai personally issued the order for your transfer to the logistics center.”

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ruoxuan immediately understood. It was all a conspiracy, a plot against her. Yesterday, the so-called inspection team threatened her, and today she was transferred to the logistics center. This was a harsh warning to her. If she cooperated and confessed, there would be no issues. If she didn’t, she would have to face suppression.

But was that really the case? If he admitted it, it didn’t matter the price Mayor Nie would have to pay. At least, for himself, the future would not be as bright as described. His innocence will be lost in Wanghai City, in Minan Province. He couldn’t be sure how the world would see him, but one thing Ruoxuan knew clearly, Hu Fei wouldn’t let him off the hook.

At that thought, Jiang Ruoxuan laughed, looking at Hu Fei and said, “Hu Fei, if that’s your only strategy, then I must say that your actions only succeed in disgusting me. It is just a logistics center, right? I’ll go.”

As soon as he had finished speaking, there was a sudden voice from behind him. “Little Jiang, come with me.”

Looking back, it was Director Cai from the television station standing behind. He followed Director Cai into the office. At this moment, Director Cai personally poured a cup of pure water for Ruoxuan and placed it on the table, then said, “Little Jiang, do you know why you were suddenly transferred?”

At this moment, Ruoxuan had accepted his fate. Looking at Director Cai, he no longer held his past respect. He scoffed and said: “Isn’t it just to suppress me? Director Cai, the logistics center is it? Alright. I was already considering leaving this job. However, I’m not leaving now. That would be running away. After this thing is done, I will submit my resignation.”

Hearing this, Director Cai was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Ruoxuan to have such thoughts. The words that he had prepared stuck in his throat.

After a moment of silence, Director Cai said solemnly: “Little Jiang, you’re still young, don’t be impulsive. Do you know why your job was changed? It’s a decision from the higher-ups of the Provincial Radio and Television Bureau. This is the cruel reality of political struggle. Think about yourself. Little Jiang, you should change your mindset. Don’t be obstinate. If you can adapt, the world will be vast and boundless. By then, the position of the director of the news center in our station, won’t it be yours?”

Director Cai’s words made Ruoxuan sneer. Looking at Director Cai, there was no longer any respect left in Ruoxuan’s heart. He said in a deep voice: “Director Cai, such a position is of no interest to me. Using my body to win a position, I can’t do it. Framing others to win someone’s favor, I can’t do it either. Director Cai, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now. I have to report to the logistics center.”

All hopes of making a breakthrough through Ruoxuan were dashed. In other aspects, it was the same. Whether it was Li Jupeng, Zhou Zihui, An Guoyu or Xiao Shanming – all the officials who were closer to Nie Zhenbang in the city government, were questioned by the investigation group, yet collectively held the same stance: “There’s no way Mayor Nie would ever do such a thing.”

Three days passed by in a hurry. Right now, Deputy Secretary Yi Mingyang had been in Wanghai City for a week. For a full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee to be stationed for such a long time on a single matter, is a first in the history of Minan Province.

At this moment, Deputy Secretary Mingyang’s mood was very foul. His face was gloomy, and alongside him, Tian Xujian and Hu Jiawang wore similarly grim expressions.

Hu Jiawang’s face was even showing signs of worry. Inside, Hu Jiawang wished nothing more than to kill his own son, Hu Fei. If not for his son being so insistent, he never would have taken such a risky move.

But in the end, it’s his own son. He can’t beat or scold him. Currently, he had no other choice but to cozy up to Deputy Secretary Yi and Secretary Tian. Nie Zhenbang’s character was something he understood to some extent after all this time. Once the waters were stirred this much, he couldn’t keep the matter hidden, and upon returning to Wanghai, the first thing Zhenbang would probably do is settle scores with him. This gave Hu Jiawang no choice but to wear a worried expression.

.Tian Xujian’s face didn’t look too good either. Gazing at the worried Hu Jiawang beside him, Tian Xujian was angry but couldn’t voice it out. After all, he was the first weighty official who had thrown his support behind him; he had to protect him. Otherwise, who else would dare to support him in the future?

On the side, after a moment of silence, Mingyang opened his mouth and said, “Old Tian, I’m afraid there is no better solution to this issue. Qiao Yiren from the provincial party committee is keeping a close eye. After six days with no progress, I think we can determine how this will end.”

At this moment, Secretary Tian nodded and agreed, “Secretary Yi, it seems so.”

After seven days, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection’s investigation team, under the leadership of Provincial Committee Deputy Secretary Mingyang, visited and inspected Wanghai City for seven days. They visited a large number of cadre masses. However, they couldn’t find anything wrong with Nie Zhenbang’s lifestyle.

At the provincial committee’s side, having reported the progress to Qiao Yiren, Secretary of the provincial committee, Yi Mingyang summarized, “Secretary Qiao, after seven days, the facts have proven that Comrade Nie Zhenbang is indeed a comrade with solid thought, political reliability, and outstanding ability. This matter indirectly proves Comrade Nie Zhenbang’s character. I think we have made some gains”.

Upon hearing these words, Secretary Qiao’s face turned cold in an instant.(.)
