Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Listening to Feng Sizhe's words, Xia Xiang laughed, "Well, this is actually not a problem anymore. Bei Jinhu has been handed over to Comrade Huang Lin, so he has a weapon to check and balance Bei Jinlong. I believe that Bei Jinlong will respect him a lot in the future and will not be as presumptuous as before. Well, in fact, these things are secondary. These are all small problems in a small range. You have a more important task now, which is to be responsible for the transformation of the agricultural economy in Hao City. This is the top priority of our work in Lianhua City now. Everything must give way to and serve this matter. Do you understand?"

Xia Xiang attached so much importance to the city's agricultural work, which made Feng Sizhe realize how heavy the burden on his shoulders was. Since Xia Xiang gave him confidence, he had to give her confidence, so he nodded very solemnly, "Please rest assured, Secretary Xia, I will do my best to do this job well."

"Okay, okay, that's good. Haha, from now on the economic work of our Lianhua City will depend on you." Xia Xiang patted Feng Sizhe's shoulder happily. It was obvious that he was very relieved to have such a capable young man as his deputy.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

In a suite on the upper floors of the Lotus Hotel, Bei Lianxiang was crying in Ruan Guiben's arms.

"Secretary Ruan, you must stand up for my brother. It's obvious that some people are making trouble out of nothing today. They deliberately set a trap for my two brothers." Bei Lianxiang watched her brother Bei Jinhu being taken away. She was extremely distressed. She thought that her brother would not get anything good if he fell into Huang Lin's hands. So she thought of asking Ruan Guiben for help, hoping that he could have a good discussion with Secretary Xia Xiang to decide whether her brother Bei Jinhu could be released.

Ruan Guiben already knew what happened today in the suburbs of the northwest district of the city. For him, being able to convince Secretary Xia not to deal with Bei Jinlong was already a victory. How could he possibly go further and force Secretary Xia to release Bei Jinhu?

"Hey, okay, okay, Lianxiang, today Secretary Xia didn't do anything to Bei Jinlong on the spot, which is equivalent to giving me enough face. I really can't go to him about this matter now. Some things have to be done in moderation. If you go beyond this limit, things will be difficult to handle. Besides, he is the secretary of the municipal party committee after all, and your two brothers did something wrong in this matter. So, tell me, how do you want me to go to him?" Ruan Guiben patted Bei Lianxiang on the back to comfort her. Political affairs are not children's play, and every move needs to be carefully measured.

"I don't care, I don't care. I believe you will find a way. As long as you can rescue my little brother, I will do anything you ask me to do." Bei Lianxiang was really worried about her brother's safety, so even though she listened to Ruan Guiben's words, she didn't take it to heart. She was now filled with family affection.

Seeing that Beilianxiang was being unreasonable, Ruan Guiben showed a hint of displeasure on his face. "Lianxiang, I have always liked you because I know you are a rational woman. You are different from your two brothers. You are sensible and consider the overall situation. So I hope you can understand me on some things. Of course, it would be best if you understand me, then we can still be friends. If you don't understand me, then you can leave now. I think we should keep a pure relationship as comrades in the future."

Ruan Guiben suddenly said that he wanted to abandon Belianxiang, which frightened Belianxiang. She realized that he was not joking and was serious about it, so she immediately calmed down. "No, no, Guiben, I will listen to you, I will listen to you."

Bei Lianxiang's tearful expression was very distressing. Looking at the woman he had loved for twenty years, Ruan Guiben's heart softened and he took her into his arms again, "Okay, Lianxiang, although I can't say anything to Secretary Xia about this matter, I will tell Secretary Huang Lin and ask him to treat your brother well. After the matter is settled, I will try my best to get him released as soon as possible. In fact, you know, sometimes some things also need a process."

The process that Ruan Guiben described was nothing more than Bei Jinhu needing to go to the prison. There was no other way, after all, there were too many people present when the incident happened, and this always had to take into account the impact of the problem.

"Okay." After hearing Ruan Guiben also took a step back and agreed to say hello to Huang Lin, Bei Lianxiang stopped making a fuss. She also knew that this was the best outcome for the current situation. But at the same time, Bei Lianxiang still hated Feng Sizhe in her heart, because if it weren't for this young man, her brother wouldn't have been arrested. Thinking that her brother might suffer, she hated Feng Sizhe even more.

Bei Jinhu was arrested because he hindered the city's agricultural transformation. If even the Bei family with such a background were arrested, who would actively hinder agricultural work? For this reason, for a long time, the city's agricultural work progressed very smoothly.

Time soon entered the beginning of May, and the first harvest season of the three seasons of Lianhua City's agriculture had arrived. Seeing the golden camellia harvest all over the mountains, seeing the characteristic agriculture characterized by gold also harvested in the small fields and large fields, seeing the cars from the Great Northeast Agricultural Trade Corporation entering Huabei District, Tangxi County, Changfeng County and Xingren County empty one by one, and then returning one by one with full loads, which brought about a significant improvement in the economic level of these three counties. Feng Sizhe, Xia Xiang and others were happy, and their efforts finally paid off. The overall economy of Lianhua City finally got rid of poverty and became rich because of the transformation of the agricultural economy. Lianhua City finally had hope.

The economic bumper harvest in one district and three counties has made the cadres in other districts and five counties jealous. They have submitted documents to the municipal party committee and government, requesting that they be allowed to participate in the second season of agricultural work in May and taste the sweetness of the harvest.

After discussing these requests with Feng Sizhe, Xia Xiang decided to transform all agricultural work in the two districts and nine counties of the city into new agriculture starting from May. With the fruitful results of this district and three counties, they are very confident in this work. For this reason, Feng Sizhe found Ding Qiang, the manager of Tangsheng Bank in the northwest region in the provincial capital, and loaned 500 million yuan at one time as the start-up capital for the agricultural transformation of the other one district and five counties.

Because of Feng Sizhe and his arrival, the economic situation in Lianhua City has improved across the board and entered a period of rapid development. The farmers here will no longer sigh when looking at the mountains and lakes. After farming the land for so many years, they finally don’t have to linger on the poverty line. They can finally live a prosperous and well-off life through their own efforts.

Happy times always seem short, and in the blink of an eye it was June and July of 1999. During this season, the second quarter agricultural transformation work in Lianhua City had entered its most intense moment. Faced with the arrival of a long rainy season, the water storage canals on both sides of the newly built roads in Lianhua City played a decisive role. The agricultural fields that were always flooded in previous years were also flooded this year because the water flow canals were dug early, allowing most of the rainwater to flow into the water storage canals on both sides of the road. As a result, the farmers in Lianhua City experienced for the first time how happy it was to no longer rely on the weather for their livelihood.

In August, the city's agricultural transformation work was about to reach the harvest season, and Feng Sizhe was even busier. He got up early every day to inspect the situation in various districts and counties, and returned to the Standing Committee Courtyard in the dark for a short rest. It can be said that his dedication to work quickly won the admiration of all cadres in the city.

In August, something big was also happening in the compound of the Guangxi Provincial Committee. It was called a big thing because it concerned Feng Sizhe's future.

Lianhua City has been without a mayor for nearly a year since the previous mayor was hospitalized in Kyoto due to health reasons. Comrade Xia Xiang has been both the secretary and the mayor, and has been in charge of the overall work of Lianhua City. Faced with this problem, the province has long wanted to appoint a mayor to them, but it has not been implemented for various reasons. Recently, some people headed by Luo Zhonghan, the secretary of the provincial party committee, have finally decided to give Lianhua City an explanation and give them a legitimate mayor.

Du Shengzheng, the acting governor who had passed the provincial people's congress, had been the governor of Guangxi Province for five months. His voice was getting bigger and bigger. In the room of the provincial party secretary Luo Zhonghan, the two sat opposite each other, and Governor Du heard Secretary Luo's analysis of the situation in Lianhua City.

"In the past year, the economic work of Lianhua City has improved greatly. In view of this situation, I don't think it is appropriate to let Comrade Xia Xiang serve as the mayor while serving as the party secretary. A person's working energy is limited. I think it is time to arrange a mayor for Lianhua City. I think this will also promote the work of the entire city. In this way, Comrade Xia Xiang can devote himself to other work in the city." Luo Zhonghan smiled and handed Du Shengzheng a cigarette, then lit it and said with a smile.

In a sense, although Luo Zhonghan and Du Shengzheng are at the same level, they are not equal. The reason is that when Luo Zhonghan was the provincial party secretary, Du Shengzheng was just an executive vice governor. He was promoted later, so in terms of qualifications, he was much worse than Luo Zhonghan.

"Yes, it is indeed not appropriate for the same person to serve as both the party secretary and the mayor of a city. Comrade Xia Xiang is working too hard." Du Shengzheng also agreed with Luo Zhonghan's idea, but having said that, although he agreed, he actually had other ideas.
