In Liangxi City, Nie Zhenbang did not linger for long. The main reason lay in the need to avoid suspicion. Despite the fact that Jiangbei Province Disciplinary Committee had submitted a request to the central government for Nie Zhenbang's visit to Jiangbei, and it had been approved by both the central government and Jiangbei, Nie Zhenbang could still be considered a leader who had worked in Jiangbei and half a Jiangbei native. However, no matter what, Nie Zhenbang was now the top official of Hongjiang Province.
Spending too much time in Jiangbei Province could inevitably lead to some unfavorable rumors. For instance, Nie Zhenbang had his share of connections in Jiangbei, having a number of people who had worked under him. When an old leader visits Jiangbei Province, it is customary for everyone to pay a visit, much like Ning Zhiyuan did.
