On the 28th of January, the New Year’s Eve according to the lunar calendar, Nie Zhenbang and Nie Ziyu are waiting on the tarmac at the Jingcheng City Airport. With Elder Nie’s dedicated car available, their journey was naturally unimpeded.

Standing nearby were Elder Nie’s bodyguard Xiao Yang and driver Xiao Zhang. Nie Guowei did not bring Nie Ziyu with him when he went to Yuedong for his new appointment. However, after this winter vacation, Nie Ziyu is likely to follow him there.

Without any restrictions, the relationship between Nie Ziyu and Nie Zhenbang was growing increasingly intimate. At this moment, Nie Ziyu, wrapped tightly in her cotton-padded jacket, clung to Nie Zhenbang’s arm and looked at the sky filled with airplanes, complaining in a sweet voice, “Brother Zhenbang, why haven’t mom and dad arrived yet? I’m freezing.”

Nie Zhenbang looked at Nie Ziyu and affectionately stroked her head, which immediately caused disagreement from Nie Ziyu, she complained, “Brother, don’t mess my hair!”

Nie Zhenbang couldn’t help but laugh too. In their previous life, the relationship between the two siblings wasn’t very harmonious. However, after their parents’ demise, Nie Ziyu began to show concern for Nie Zhenbang despite her cold demeanor. Thinking of Nie Ziyu’s sacrifice of her happiness for the Nie family, Nie Zhenbang felt guilty and made a secret vow to make her life carefree in this lifetime.

“Third young master, the plane has arrived,” reminded driver Xiao Zhang quietly.

Despite not being a working secretary, Xiao Zhang, as Elder Nie’s driver, held a good rank. There wouldn’t be a problem if he called Zhenbang by his name, given he was just a child. However, the clever Xiao Zhang treated Nie Zhenbang respectfully regardless of his identity, and was thorough in all his duties.

As the plane gradually descended and the gangway was put in place, Nie Guowei and Ye Shuxian appeared among the crowd. Many passers-by cast their eyes on the large red flag next to the plane.

Upon seeing Nie Guowei and Ye Shuxian, Nie Ziyu rushed towards them, exclaiming loudly, “Daddy, Mommy! Ziyu missed you a lot.’

Nie Guowei’s complexion seemed much better compared to a month ago. In

Jingcheng, the hub of political decisions, Nie Guowei always remained careful. However, since being assigned to Yuedong and with the Ye family connections, Nie Guowei was thriving in Yuehai City. He had successfully shed the ‘acting’ title and became an official standing member of the Yuehai City Committee, deputy secretary and mayor of the city’s people’s government.

“Haha, Ziyu has grown taller and even more beautiful just after a month,” Nie Guowei laughed heartily as he picked up Nie Ziyu.

Nie Zhenbang also came forward, begrudgingly addressing the couple, “Dad, Auntie!”

No matter how things change, Nie Zhenbang stubbornly believed that he has only one mother. No matter how good Ye Shuxian is, what he can do is to repay her through other means, but he can’t possibly call her mother.

Contrary to expectations, Ye Shuxian wasn’t unhappy at all; instead, she was smiling and nodding her head. She then addressed Nie Zhenbang, “Zhenbang, you’ve been working hard lately.”

When the family arrived home, Huang Qiumei and Huang Yuerong had prepared to meet them. Elder Nie was not present as he had gone to visit the troops on New Year’s Eve, and Nie Guodong was currently at the Yuezhou Military Region. As it was the largest military region in the south, it was clear to everyone that Nie Guodong wouldn’t be able to return home this year.

“Shuxian, you’re back. Come in quickly. The weather in Jingcheng is nothing compared to Yuedong. Catching a cold isn’t a good thing, ” Huang Yuerong said enthusiastically.

The Huang and Ye families both belonged to the reformist faction, which made the relation between the sisters-in-law much more cooperative. Their families were reformists while their in-law’s families were conservatives. The two ladies faced many hardships some time ago. But the family atmosphere has lightened up recently due to Nie Zhenbang’s efforts, which has also improved the relationship between Huang Yuerong and Ye Shuxian.

Ye Shuxian was stunned by Huang Yuerong’s attitude. In the past, Huang

Yuerong wasn’t that easy to talk to. Was it because she was a reformist? Ye Shuxian didn’t think so. Looking thoughtfully at Nie Zhenbang beside her, she felt a wave of emotion.

After a harmonious Chinese New Year dinner as a family, Nie Jiamin and Nie Zhenbang naturally gathered together. In Nie Zhenbang’s room, there was a coffee table with a few dishes of peanuts and some cold dishes. Next to it was grandfather’s special Maotai wine.

At this time, Nie Jialei also walked in from outside. Looking at the two of them, a slight smile appeared on Nie Jialei’s face: “What, you two brothers hiding to drink and leaving your elder brother behind?”

Ever since that article, Nie Jialei, although he only topped a name, has also gained considerable benefits. Today, his regular treatment has been resolved. In the second half of next year, there is hope to move forward again and rise to the deputy level. Even Nie Jialei himself was excited. A 23-year-old deputy, there was only one in the whole country.

However, as an office staff of grandfather Huang, Nie Jialei heard the most about Nie Zhenbang and Nie Jiamin. Basically, Nie Jialei knew everything that the two brothers did from his grandfather. In just three months, they had built a business with tens of millions of assets from scratch. This ability was highly praised by his grandfather. Consequently, Nie Jialei’s thinking and perspective changed, which was why he sought them out.

“Elder brother, I can’t agree with that. Jiamin, bring a stool over for our big brother. Let’s drink together,” Nie Zhenbang immediately laughed and spoke.

Nie Jialei was not polite. After filling his cup full, he raised it towards Nie

Zhenbang: “Zhenbang, this cup of wine, I would like to thank you for it.”

Hearing these words, Nie Zhenbang gave a faint smile, he clearly understood Nie Jialei’s intentions. Although everyone knew that the article wasn’t written by Nie Jialei, it was ultimately published in his name. Nie Jialei had received the maximum benefit. With this sentence, Nie Jialei was not only expressing thanks, but also recognizing Nie Zhenbang’s authority.

Nie Zhenbang also lifted his cup in return: “Big brother, we both share the Nie surname.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Jialei paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. He nodded vehemently: “Correct, we both are Nies.”

Nie Jialei then smiled: “Zhenbang, I respect your analytical and insightful abilities. Do you think there will be any policy changes in our country after Comrade Xuri takes office?”

Was this question from Nie Jialei himself? Or was it from his uncle or grandfather? Nie Zhenbang started to ponder. Nie Jialei wouldn’t have asked about Comrade Xuri’s inauguration if it were up to Comrade Nan Xun or Vice Premier Huang. If there were any need for information, the grandfather himself would have asked. His uncle, the capable one of the Nie family, wouldn’t have needed to worry after his posting at the Yuezhou Military Region. His ideas would have broadened. So it had to be Nie Jialei’s own curiosity.

Having thought this, Nie Zhenbang laughed: “Elder brother, there will definitely be changes. Comrade Xuri tends to be conservative. However, I believe that the overall policy of our country won’t change. The path of reforms and opening up is the principle and policy established years ago. It is not something anyone can change. Our party represents the fundamental interests of the masses, the progressive productivity, and the forward direction of the culture.”

Before he knew it, Nie Zhenbang was quoting the “Three Represents” political theory from the future. Nie Jialei was slightly moved by the succinct summary. This brother of his was no ordinary person.

After Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, he paused, wondering why he was repeating the future leader’s words. Quickly changing the topic, he said: “Elder brother, take our Wal-Mart for instance. Why have we been able to expand so rapidly in just a few months? Is it because of our background? The money is in the pocket of the people and no matter how privileged we are, we can’t rob them. Can we? This shows that the majority of the people have the need and the desire for reform. Given these prerequisites, what’s there to worry about?”

Just then, a voice came from outside. Nie Ziyu’s voice cried out: “Grandpa, happy new year!”

On hearing this, the three brothers stood up in unison. Grandfather was home..
