Chapter 3793

Seeing Qian Jianan's expression grow increasingly gloomy, Nie Xingde felt secretly pleased. It seemed he had successfully planted a seed in Qian Jianan's heart—a seed of discord with Su Xinghui.

In truth, Nie Xingde overestimated himself; if Qian Jianan were not already unhappy in his own heart, nothing Nie Xingde said would have been of any use.

However, Nie Xingde continued: "Secretary Qian, it is not that I am speaking ill behind anyone's back, but you are the Municipal Party Secretary. I feel that Linshan City should unite around you, with everything centered on you, rather than on anyone else. Only this is correct."

Qian Jianan kept a gloomy face, and only after a long while did he say: "That's enough, Xingde. Do not say any more. In the future, do not speak such words that are detrimental to unity. The most critical thing is for Linshan City to develop well."

Nie Xingde naturally heard the insincerity in Qian Jianan's words. He also knew that he should not say too much, otherwise, it would have the opposite effect. Now that the seed had been planted in Qian Jianan's heart, it would sprout on its own, grow, and eventually bear a poisonous fruit.

Nie Xingde also had a bellyful of grievances toward Su Xinghui, but since he lacked the ability to deal with Su Xinghui himself, he could only stir up trouble everywhere like this.

Nie Xingde stood up and said: "Secretary Qian, then you go ahead with your work; I will head out first."

In recent days, Qian Jianan had been in close contact with several Standing Committee members, including Nie Xingde, Cao Yuanhao, and Ma Yuejin. Su Xinghui saw this, and he felt a bit helpless. In fact, he also knew that he had indeed been too much in the limelight on certain occasions, overshadowing Qian Jianan, though this was not intentional on his part.
