Bab 749: Chapter 705 Nie Family's Gathering_1

Others, including He Yitao, were aware that at this point, it was probably time to get down to brass tacks. The room suddenly fell silent.

Nie Guodong, however, was smiling as he said, "This time, I've gathered everyone. It has no other meaning, mainly to talk about the current dilemma of the Nie family."

Nie Guodong continued, "I presume you all know that both Xiao Zhenchang and I are already sixty-three years old. We Ni's come from the military, and while we currently hold positions within the government system, through Guowei and father-and-son Zhenbang, the military traditions cannot change."

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang understood. According to national regulations, the retirement age for officials at the ministerial level was sixty-five.
