Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"This..." Xia Xiang saw that the two secretaries were really going to simply make a decision on Feng Sizhe. He couldn't help but feel anxious. At this time, a life-saving call came. Seeing that the caller was also from the Provincial Party Committee, Xia Xiang quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Xia Xiang."

"Comrade Xia Xiang, this is Du Shengzheng. Where are you now?" Du Shengzheng's voice immediately sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Governor Du. I'm in Secretary Ping's office now." Xia Xiang looked up at Ping Guowang and Yu Zhengda and answered seriously.

"Okay, I'm in Secretary Luo's office now. So, you, Secretary Ping, and Comrade Yu Zhengda, come over together. Secretary Luo and I will be waiting for you here." Du Shengzheng was not surprised at all that Xia Xiang was in Ping Guowang's office. This showed that people had already thought of these things.

"Yes, Governor Du, we'll be there right away." After Xia Xiang finished speaking, he said to Ping Guowang and Yu Zhengda, "Secretaries, Governor Du is now in Secretary Luo's office. He said he wants you to come with me."

Hearing that Du Shengzheng had already arrived at the office of Luo Zhonghan, the provincial party secretary, Ping Guowang and Yu Zhengda looked at each other, and then Yu Zhengda asked, "Comrade Xia Xiang, will you report this matter to Governor Du?"

"No, I just greeted my old leader, Mr. Hua, after arriving in the provincial capital, and then mentioned this matter after Mr. Hua's questioning." How could Xia Xiang admit it? If he admitted it, it would inevitably give the leader the feeling that he was flattering others and suppressing them, so he cleverly changed his mind and brought the problem to Mr. Hua.

Everyone knows that Xia Xiang was promoted by Hua Lao, so it is understandable that he came to the provincial capital to call his old leader. In fact, Hua Lao alone would not attract the attention of Ping Guowang and Yu Zhengda, but Governor Du Shengzheng behind Hua Lao did make them pay attention to him. He is a ministerial-level cadre of the country, so they had to pay attention to him.

But Xia Xiang had already told Elder Hua about this matter, and now Governor Du already knew about it. It seemed that it was impossible to keep Governor Du and others in the dark about this matter before it was finalized. At this time, they had no choice but to follow Xia Xiang to see Governor Du.

In this way, a group of three people, with Ping Guowang in the lead, Yu Zhengda in the second, and Xia Xiang at the end, came to the office of Luo Zhonghan, secretary of the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee, where Secretary Luo and Governor Du were already sitting there waiting for them.

As soon as he saw the three of them all coming, Du Shengzheng greeted them with a smile, "Come on, come on, take a seat. Haha, I will be the first to take over the office of Secretary Luo."

Hearing Du Shengzheng's laughter, the others all laughed and then found a seat and sat down one by one.

Xia Xiang was only the Party Secretary of a city, and his position was the lowest among them, so he sat down in the seat farthest from Luo Zhonghan and Du Shengzheng. But just as he sat down, Du Shengzheng called him, "Come, Comrade Xia Xiang, sit over here. You are the protagonist of our discussion today, how can you be so far away from us?" As he spoke, Du Shengzheng stood up and made a seat for Xia Xiang next to his sofa.

Seeing that Du Shengzheng valued him so much, Xia Xiang was somewhat touched and quickly walked over, "You're welcome, Governor Du."

"Well, how can I be rude? The economic work of Lianhua City has been doing very well during your tenure as acting mayor. You have contributed to the economic growth of the entire province. I just let you sit next to me. Isn't this what I should do?" As he spoke, Du Shengzheng stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xia Xiang enthusiastically.

It was this handshake that made Xia Xiang feel that Du Shengzheng's hand was so strong and warm. At this moment, the pressure he had felt when he entered the office just now was reduced by half.

"Governor Du and other leaders must not say that. Lianhua City's economy has improved. This is the result of the joint efforts of all Lianhua cadres, especially Comrade Feng Sizhe, who has done a lot of practical work for Lianhua City's economic construction and agricultural reform."

Xia Xiang did not forget to mention Feng Sizhe's contribution at this time, so that when discussing Comrade Feng Sizhe's affairs later, it would also provide a reference for everyone to deal with the problem.

In response to Xia Xiang's answer, Ping Guowang and Yu Zhengda's mouth corners twitched. They were obviously dissatisfied that Xia Xiang was still speaking for Feng Sizhe at this time. However, because Secretary Luo and Governor Du were both here, they could not say much.

Du Sheng, however, was listening to what Xia Xiang said and laughed, "Comrade Feng Sizhe is indeed capable in economic work, and we are also aware of this. Otherwise, I would not have suggested that he go to work in your Lianhua City, haha."

When Du Shengzheng said this, Wang Pingguo and Yu Zhengda were shocked, because at this time they remembered that it was indeed Du Shengzheng who suggested Feng Sizhe go to Lianhua City to work. It was just that he was the executive vice governor at that time, so they didn't care. Now it seems that the relationship between Du Shengzheng and Feng Sizhe is definitely not ordinary. Thinking of this, they began to worry about whether they could take down Feng Sizhe through this matter.

Du Shengzheng looked as if he didn't pay attention to others. He only looked at Secretary Luo Zhonghan, who had been silent, and then said, "Secretary Luo, everyone is here. Should we ask him to report?"

"Okay, what is the situation in Lianhua City and what is the matter with Feng Sizhe being falsely accused of soliciting bribes? Now, please let Comrade Xia Xiang tell us." Luo Zhonghan finally spoke, and as soon as he spoke he said that someone had falsely accused Comrade Feng Sizhe of soliciting bribes. This was a clear proof of his attitude.

In fact, although Luo Zhonghan has made his attitude clear with just one word, he was actually still very conflicted when Du Shengzheng came to his office just now.

When Du Shengzheng really came to his office and mentioned the problems in Lianhua City, especially when Feng Sizhe had problems again, Luo Zhonghan's head became very big. He was wondering what was going on with Feng Sizhe and why everything happened to him?

Du Shengzheng also received a call from Elder Hua and knew that he was in trouble in Lianhua City, so he hurried to Secretary Luo to discuss with him. It was he who recommended Feng Sizhe to Lianhua City, hoping that he would keep a low profile there and work hard to develop the agricultural economy there. In fact, it was right to send Feng Sizhe to Lianhua City this time. At least he had a lot of ideas about the agricultural economy at that time, and from the current situation, he did do a lot of work for the agricultural development there, and it was very effective.

For this, Du Shengzheng was very satisfied. He had also inquired about Feng Sizhe's other work in Lianhua City. He was even more satisfied when he learned that after arriving there, he rarely participated in other work besides his own work. It seemed that although he was young, he was very sensible in doing things, knew the importance of things, and knew what it meant to be low-key.

But who would have thought that he would suddenly receive a call from Mr. Hua today, saying that Feng Sizhe was framed, and even now the Lianhua Municipal Committee was going to remove him from his position as deputy mayor. He was very surprised when he heard the news. Who is so ignorant to go and cause trouble for Feng Sizhe? This person is very experienced in struggle. Normally, he should be lucky if he doesn't provoke others, but who would be so blind to provoke him?

He thought that there must be something behind this matter, and that someone must have disliked Feng Sizhe and had set him up. In order not to wrongly accuse a comrade, he went to Secretary Luo Zhonghan's office and explained the situation to him.

Luo Zhonghan's feelings towards Feng Sizhe are really complicated. It's true that he is happy and worried. He is happy because he is indeed a very capable cadre. Whether in Haibei City or Lianhua City, he can quickly improve the economy there. If there are more cadres like him, the economic situation in Guangxi Province will make him feel at ease, so that he can stand up straight when he goes to the central meeting. But at the same time, he is also very troubled by Feng Sizhe's ability to cause trouble everywhere. It's not long since the Haibei incident was over. At that time, even General Zhao Mingyuan, a member of the Military Commission, personally went to Guangxi Province to take charge. Think about it, Luo Zhonghan, as the provincial party secretary, didn't sleep well at that time. It's not long since that incident, how come this person is in trouble again, and it's still about soliciting bribes, which is a big deal.

Luo Zhonghan recognized Feng Sizhe's ability and was also aware of his ability to cause trouble, but he was not very clear about what kind of person he was and how he controlled money. So when Du Shengzheng came to his office, he asked, "Old Du, tell me, based on your understanding, is Feng Sizhe a greedy official?"

"I don't think so." Du Shengzheng answered decisively, "Although Comrade Feng Sizhe is young and may spend money lavishly, he has always been very careful with his finances. For example, he was able to raise 150 million yuan in road construction funds in just one trip to Kyoto. This alone proves his strength. If he wants to have any needs in this regard, he can think of ways to do so. Why bother asking for bribes from a businessman? There is no need for that."
