Bab 389: Chapter 377: Fame Shakes_1

Tian Xujian was not an easy opponent either, "So Mr. Nie Zhenbang, you address me as the Deputy Governor, correct?" Immediately, Tian Xujian subtly retaliated.

"Mayor Nie," such an honor, being the city mayor, yet was referred to as "Mayor Nie." Sure, it was a bit insulting but what else could Nie Zhenbang say?

It was just like Nie Zhenbang addressing Tian Xujian as the Deputy Governor - Tian Xujian had no options because that was his job title. If he took this too seriously, others, like Ning Shouchang or Shen Yanshuo, might falsely think he was power hungry.

Now, Nie Zhenbang was feeling the same. Position-wise, Tian Xujian was a vice-ministerial level officer, half a step above Nie Zhenbang. From an age perspective, it was perfectly fine for Tian Xujian to address Nie Zhenbang as Mayor Nie.

Nie Zhenbang didn't mind being called Mayor Nie. Not just Tian Xujian, but Fan Changsheng had called him that in the past too.
