Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Well, okay, since Governor Du also agrees with this idea, I think we should convene an office meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary to decide this matter, and also discuss the issue of suitable candidates." Luo Zhonghan looked at Du Shengzheng and saw that he had no objection, so he nodded happily.

"Well, that's good, but I still have some concerns and don't know whether I should say it or not." After hesitating for a while, Du Shengzheng still felt that some things needed to be said.

"Oh, Governor Du, please tell me if you have any concerns." Hearing that Du Shengzheng seemed to have other ideas, Luo Zhonghan encouraged him to speak out.

Seeing Secretary Luo's encouraging eyes, Du Shengzheng expressed his concerns. Speaking of which, the concerns were about one thing, that is, the economic work of Lianhua City was very good now. At this rate, within two years, the economy of Lianhua City would have undergone earth-shaking changes, and then it might be able to remove the hats of the top 100 poor counties in the country. In order not to destroy such a good situation, Du Shengzheng thought about whether he could elect a suitable person in Lianhua City to serve as the mayor. In this way, the basic political situation of Lianhua City would not be affected, and this would have the least impact on the agricultural transformation work of Lianhua City, and would not affect the overall economic situation of Lianhua City.

Du Sheng came up with this idea for economic reasons. He didn't want to parachute in a mayor and have the Lianhua City government work to adjust due to his arrival, which would delay the economic development of Lianhua City.

Listening to Du Shengzheng's proposal, Luo Zhonghan also felt that it made sense. "Well, what you said does make some sense. Then why don't we think about it carefully and see if there are any suitable candidates in Lianhua City. Oh, by the way, I wonder if Governor Du has any suitable candidates. You might as well tell us so that we can participate."

Du Shengzheng made such a suggestion purely for work considerations. He did not think too much about it, let alone think of a suitable candidate. For this reason, in response to Luo Zhonghan's question, he just laughed and said, "I don't have a candidate. I still respect the opinion of the provincial party committee on this matter."

No matter it is the provincial party committee secretary who makes big decisions, the provincial party committee deputy secretary who is in charge of personnel, or the provincial party committee organization minister who is in charge of provincial cadres, they are all members of the provincial party committee, so such matters are generally nominated by the provincial party committee. Du Shengzheng is just the boss who is in charge of the province's economy, and he has only been the governor for a short time. He does not want to get involved in personnel matters, which will distract him from his work.

After hearing that Du Shengzheng was not a suitable candidate, Luo Zhonghan nodded and said, "Well, I will pay full attention to your proposal. Then, I will ask the Provincial Organization Department to go to Lianhua City to investigate whether there are qualified candidates for the mayor."

"Okay." Du Shengzheng nodded.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. The news that the provincial party committee is studying the candidate for mayor of Lianhua City and is very likely to promote him from among the local cadres of Lianhua City quickly spread. This news quickly blew to Lianhua City, which cheered up Ruan Guiben, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, who was in his office.

He really didn't expect that the provincial party committee really intended to select a mayor candidate from Lianhua City. If so, then his chances would be really great. Thinking that he might be able to get promoted from deputy director to director, he was full of excitement. Of course, in addition to being excited, Ruan Guiben also seriously considered the candidates who were suitable for this position in Lianhua City. Among the deputy secretaries, Huang Lin was older and cowardly by nature, and was obviously not suitable for the position of mayor. Deputy Secretary and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Chen Zhenghai always thought that he was doing work for the Discipline Inspection Commission. There was no precedent of him managing the economy in his resume, so it would be much more difficult for him to be promoted to mayor. In comparison, he was the most suitable. Whether it was work experience (he had served as county magistrate, county party secretary, and deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, he was obviously very knowledgeable about economic work) or level (as a deputy secretary in charge of personnel, he was a deputy secretary ranked very high, and could be said to be the vanguard of deputy director cadres in the city), he had many advantages. The only disadvantage was that he was a native of Lianhua City. But it doesn’t matter. As long as the cadres are selected from local people in Lianhua City, this shortcoming can be ignored.

The more he compared, the clearer it became. The more he thought about it, the more excited Ruan Guiben became. He felt that it was a foregone conclusion that he would become the mayor. He was very excited and now he was just waiting for the people from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to arrive in Lianhua City. He would just have to perform well and greet them well.

The Guangxi Provincial Party Committee still attaches great importance to the issue of candidates for Lianhua City.

There are not many cities in a province, and even fewer positions as valuable as the mayor of a city. For this reason, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department also attaches great importance to the appointment of the mayor of Lianhua City. This time, it specially sent the Executive Deputy Minister Sun Zhengtao to Lianhua City to investigate the issue.

Sun Zhengtao was the deputy minister in charge of the provincial department-level cadres, so he was highly respected in Lianhua City. For this reason, Xia Xiang brought all the standing committee members of Lianhua City to greet him at the intersection.

This time, Xia Xiang did not invite Sun Zhengtao to ride in an off-road vehicle, but let Minister Sun drive an Audi into Lianhua City. Less than a year later, Sun Zhengtao walked on this road again, but he did not feel any bumps at all. This made him admire the tremendous changes in Lianhua City.

A welcoming ceremony for Sun Zhengtao was held at the Lotus Hotel. All the members of the Municipal Party Committee toasted him and the atmosphere of the meal was very good.

Of course, the happiest person was Deputy Secretary Ruan Guiben, who toasted Sun Zhengtao one glass after another, because in his opinion, Minister Sun came here just to take care of his own business.

As one of the drinking companions, Feng Sizhe only had a symbolic drink with Sun Zhengtao because of work, and then left because of work. Now is the critical period of Lianhua City's economic work, and he does have a lot of work to do. As for leaving Sun Zhengtao like this, Feng Sizhe didn't have too many thoughts. In his opinion, Sun Zhengtao came for work, and he went for work, which was not contradictory. Besides, true friends will not be angry because of the length of time they accompany drinking.

Feng Sizhe got into Li Shuang's car and headed straight for Huanan District. As the last batch of districts to undergo transformation, Huanan District did not have much experience in agricultural transformation, so they needed him to remind and supervise them all the time.

As the car left, Chen Guangming, the secretary sitting in the front row, couldn't help but turn around and say to Feng Sizhe, "Boss, Minister Sun is here, you don't have to stay a little longer."

"No need. He is here for work this time, not for tourism. Besides, Secretary Xia and Deputy Secretary Ruan will accompany him." Feng Sizhe closed his eyes and answered without thinking too much.

"But boss..." Chen Guangming heard that Feng Sizhe did not understand the meaning of his words, so he hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something.

Chen Guangming really cared about Feng Sizhe this time. What did Sun Zhengtao come to Lianhua City for? Any cadre of the Lianhua Municipal Party Committee or the Municipal Government must know clearly. Facing the election of the mayor of Lianhua City, many people were tempted, but those people were not clear-headed. They knew that some things were not something they could fight for. But as an outsider, it was also good to talk about this matter with relish. But for some reason, the boss who had the opportunity did not seem to be tempted by this matter. Didn't he know that he had been in the position of deputy department level for four years? He should have the ability to compete for this position. Such opportunities were rare.

"But what?" Feng Sizhe finally slowly opened his eyes. "Guangming, you have been with me for quite some time, but there are some things you still don't understand. That is, what belongs to you is yours, and you don't need to fight for it. What doesn't belong to you is definitely not yours, even if you fight for it, it is not necessarily a good thing. I came to Lianhua City because I really want to do something for this place. I want to change the poor and backward appearance here, so now I am focusing all my thoughts on this matter. If I compete for the position of mayor now, I will inevitably fall into some struggles again. This is not where my energy should be used now. Do you understand?"

How could Feng Sizhe not know what Chen Guangming was thinking, and how could he not know that he was doing it for his own good. In fact, he had thought about this matter before. According to the time it took to enter the deputy department level, he could really sprint to the full department level, but then he thought that Ruan Guiben also wanted to be in this position. If he insisted on competing, it would be inevitable that he would have a dispute with him, and this would obviously be detrimental to the overall situation of the city's economic work. So after thinking about it, he decided to give up. He didn't plan to compete. He didn't want to let the economy of the entire city stagnate because of his official position, otherwise he would become a sinner.

Feng Sizhe was open-minded. He thought that if he didn't fight for it this time, Lotus City would be quiet and would create the best atmosphere for him to work hard. But was it really like that? Obviously, it was not over yet. Just like what he said to Chen Guangming, what is yours is yours, and what you don't fight for is also yours.

On the third day after Sun Zhengtao arrived in Lianhua City, he suddenly called Feng Sizhe and asked him to come to the hotel where he was resting.

Sun Zhengtao was resting in the Lotus Hotel and also working here. From the second day after he arrived in Lotus City, he kept calling people to discuss work. In fact, it was called discussing work, but everyone knew that they were evaluating the future mayor of Lotus City.
