Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Yes, it is indeed very poor there, but it is precisely because of this that I wondered whether we could let a cadre like Feng Sizhe, who has special ideas and a very different style of doing things from others, go to work there. Perhaps traditional ideas can no longer make that place develop better and faster. Perhaps a young cadre like Feng Sizhe can bring about a new change there? And I have also checked Comrade Feng Sizhe's file. When he was in Dahu County, Zhongzhou Province, he was in charge of county agriculture, and he did a very good job. It didn't take him very long to get rid of the label of being one of the top 100 poorest counties in the country. Does that mean he is also capable of solving the problems in Lianhua City? At least, let him have a try." Du Shengzheng quickly stated the reason why he wanted to recommend Feng Sizhe to work in Lianhua City.

"Well, that's right. According to Comrade Du Shengzheng's analysis, it is indeed a good choice to let Comrade Feng Sizhe go to work in Lianhua City." Yao Dejiang heard these words clearly, thinking that this was another opinion on how to deal with Feng Sizhe's work arrangement. If Feng Sizhe could really go to work in Lianhua City, he could successfully get rid of the embarrassing situation of leaving Guanggui Province. What's more important is that Lianhua City does not have a mayor yet. The former mayor went to Kyoto for treatment more than a month ago due to health reasons. Now Comrade Xia Xiang, the secretary of the Lianhua Municipal Party Committee, is also the mayor. The Provincial Party Committee has not yet determined the candidate for the mayor there. If things go well this time, Feng Sizhe may even make a further step. It's hard to say.

For various considerations, Yao Dejiang immediately expressed his support for Du Shengzheng's proposal.

"Well, this is a good idea. Comrades should make good use of their strengths. Like Minister Yao, I agree with Comrade Du Shengzheng's suggestion." Comrade Deng Tiejun, commander of the provincial military region, also spoke loudly.

Instantly, three members of the Standing Committee supported Comrade Feng Sizhe to go to Lianhua City. This situation was obviously unexpected by Luo Zhonghan and Qi Qinghua. Originally, they were discussing Comrade Feng Sizhe leaving Guangxi Province to study at the Central Party School, but now the development of the matter has obviously exceeded their expectations, and it has become a matter of Feng Sizhe going to Lianhua City to work.

Faced with this sudden situation, before the provincial party secretary Luo Zhonghan could say anything, the provincial party vice secretary Ping Guowang spoke up, "Comrades, what are you talking about? Aren't we discussing Comrade Feng Sizhe's study at the Central Party School? How did this get involved with the issue of Lianhua City?"

"What? How can Secretary Ping say that? If I remember correctly, it seems that Secretary Luo first talked about the appointment and removal of Comrade Feng Sizhe. This does not mean that Comrade Feng Sizhe must go to the Central Party School to study, right? Since he did not say that, and such a meeting was held to allow comrades to speak freely, then is there anything wrong with us expressing our ideas?" Facing Ping Guowang, Yao Dejiang fought back.

Ping Guowang and Yao Dejiang, who are both in charge of personnel, have always been at odds. One of them is the deputy secretary in charge of personnel, and the other is the head of the organization department in charge of the province's cadre work. There are too many intersections between their work, and there will be some friction between the two sides due to work issues. But usually, Yao Dejiang gives in, because he knows that in terms of rank, the other party is a member of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, but he is not, so he wants to give them a step, but today he really can't give in. He has already promised Minister Miao Yunfeng on the phone that he will fight for Feng Sizhe's matter, so how can he give in at this time? So facing Ping Guowang's attack, he responded in time.

Yao Dejiang's sudden counterattack caught Ping Guowang off guard. He did not expect that Yao Dejiang would suddenly make a desperate move and challenge him in public about Feng Sizhe's work assignment. He was not prepared at all and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Luo Zhonghan was a little uncomfortable watching Yao Dejiang attack Ping Guowang in public. As the provincial party secretary, he had to coordinate the work of the entire province and unite the cadres of the province. Seeing that Ping Guowang and Yao Dejiang were about to have a friction, he quickly interrupted and said, "Well, I said before that comrades can express their opinions. Now that so many comrades have spoken, I would like to hear the opinions of the comrades who have not spoken yet. Let's take turns to speak. I think Secretary Fang Ming should start first."

Luo Zhonghan didn't want to see his comrades attacking each other over this matter. What he wanted to know most now was what other comrades thought so that he could balance the final result and make the final decision.

Fang Ming, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the discipline inspection commission, had been writing and marking in his notebook. Now that his name was called, he raised his head and first smiled at Luo Zhonghan, which also showed his respect for the provincial party secretary. Then he opened his mouth and said slowly, "Since Secretary Luo asked me to speak, I will say a few words. I have a document about Comrade Feng Sizhe. From this document, it can be seen that Comrade Feng Sizhe works hard, attentively, and is responsible. He is a good comrade."

Fang Ming's sudden words startled Luo Zhonghan, Qi Qinghua, Ping Guowang, and Yu Zhengda. They were members of the Secretariat of the Guangxi Provincial Committee. They had always believed that Fang Ming had always treated the Feng Sizhe incident from the perspective of a bystander. In their opinion, Fang Ming was most likely to play it safe, that is, he would support whichever side had the upper hand. But no one had expected that he would suddenly support Feng Sizhe, which was indeed something that the other deputy secretaries of the provincial committee had not expected.

In fact, it was not only them who did not expect it, but also Yao Dejiang, Du Shengzheng and others. They had only guessed that there would be other people who would speak for Feng Sizhe besides themselves, but they did not expect Fang Ming to have such an attitude. It was not for anything else, because behind Fang Ming was Qin Xianghua, he was one of the Qin faction, and seeing that in five years, when the next national high-level election was held, Vice Chairman Qin would ascend to the highest peak of power, so Fang Ming's status would also rise. And because his status was invisibly increased because he was a member of the Qin faction, Fang Ming, who was standing at a high position, had become more cautious recently, and even when major events occurred in the provincial party committee many times, he did not make a clear statement. Although he did not express much, he had to admit that his words had a very high status in the Guanggui Provincial Party Committee. It was not for anything else, but again, he was a member of the Qin faction, and what he said represented Qin Xianghua in some ways.

Now that Fang Ming has clearly supported Feng Sizhe, does that mean that Vice Chairman Qin actually holds the same opinion?

No one else could guess the truth, only Fang Ming himself knew it. Just last night, he received a call from Qin Xianghua's first secretary, Ren Tianfang, who was then deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee. The two sides exchanged pleasantries on the phone, and then Ren Tianfang conveyed Vice Chairman Qin's attitude towards the current situation in Guangxi Province. Vice Chairman Qin's attitude was very simple, that is, Guangxi Province should have its own opinions on doing things and make corresponding decisions based on its actual situation.

Fang Ming was still a little confused about this sentence, so he asked Ren Tianfang what he meant. Both parties were Qin's men, and they had frequent contact, so it can be said that they had a good relationship. Facing Fang Ming's question, Ren Tianfang laughed and said, "Guanggui Province introduced some leaders of the central government to the game there because of some minor issues, and the leaders' meaning was very clear. Don't let some leaders interfere in Guanggui Province's affairs, and the Guanggui Provincial Party Committee don't know what to do. You must learn to be independent and have your own ideas according to the actual situation. As long as the decision is made by your Guanggui Provincial Party Committee, the central government will respect it."

When Ren Tianfang said this, Fang Ming understood a little, and the last few words that Ren Tianfang said made him make a decision. Ren Tianfang said, "Comrade Feng Sizhe is a good cadre, and Vice Chairman Qin also has high expectations for him. If such a capable comrade can stay in Haigui Province for a while, it will be a good thing for you. Don't push such a good comrade out because of the opinions of some individuals. To be honest, there are still some people in other provinces who want a cadre as courageous and capable as Feng Sizhe."

Ren Tianfang had said all this. If Fang Ming still didn't know what to do, then he would have been the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in vain. He made a decision right away. He didn't say what he thought just now because he wanted to see who supported Feng Sizhe and who opposed him. Now that Secretary Luo Zhonghan asked him to speak, he felt that the opportunity had come, so he expressed his own thoughts, which were also Vice Chairman Qin's thoughts.

After finishing the above, Comrade Fang Ming also said, "From what I understand, after Feng Sizhe came to our Guangxi Province and settled in Haibei City, some problems did happen around him. But if we analyze these problems carefully and trace everything back to the source, we will find that many things were not caused by Comrade Feng Sizhe, but because things came to him and he had no choice, or he did not want to go against his conscience. So from a certain perspective, I say that he is a good cadre. At the same time, I also agree with Comrade Du Shengzheng's opinion just now. Sending these capable comrades to Lianhua City can also more clearly show whether this comrade has such ability."

"Okay, I've finished what I wanted to say." After Fang Ming said this, he lowered his head again and began to write and draw on the notebook.
