Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Hearing that Feng Sizhe came because of Xia Xiang's matter, Sun Zhengtao put down his chopsticks and watched Feng Sizhe take out a cigarette. Feng Sizhe quickly handed him the lighter.

Seeing Feng Sizhe being so attentive at this moment, Sun Zhengtao just laughed, "Why, you seem to be very worried about Comrade Xia Xiang's whereabouts?"

"Yes, I have been working with Comrade Xia Xiang for two years, and we have always had a good relationship. I also admire his character. The other day I heard Governor Du say that he might be promoted, so I was happy. I wanted to know in advance where Secretary Xia was going. Hehe, after thinking about it, I decided to ask Minister Sun. With Minister Sun's connections and relationships, you must have heard about this matter a long time ago."

Feng Sizhe still praised Sun Zhengtao, which made him feel good. "Well, I heard about this matter. Why, do you want to hear the details?"

"Yes, I want to listen." Feng Sizhe did not shy away and answered directly.

"Okay, then just drink the half bottle of wine in front of you. I'll tell you after you finish it." Sun Zhengtao looked at Feng Sizhe with a smile and gave him a difficult question.

That bottle of wine was only drunk by Sun Zhengtao and Feng Sizhe a little while ago, so there was at least eight taels of wine left. To drink so much wine in one gulp was not something that most people could do. However, in order to know the truth about Xia Xiang's whereabouts, Feng Sizhe picked up the bottle and blew it without saying a word, "Gulp... Gulp..." He really drank most of the bottle of wine in that way.

Seeing Feng Sizhe so happy, Sun Zhengtao was full of admiration. For the sake of friendship between comrades, Feng Sizhe was able to drink half a bottle of wine without hesitation. This fully proved that he was a loyal person, and such a person should be made friends with.

"Yes, Sizhe, you have a good alcohol tolerance. I just don't know if you are dizzy now. Don't forget what I said because you drank too much." Sun Zhengtao asked with concern. After all, if a person drinks so much alcohol in one breath, he will most likely get drunk.

Feng Sizhe relied on his youth and his ability to drink in his previous life. Even in his current job, he couldn't live without alcohol. Therefore, he really didn't have any major problems. Of course, he felt dizzy, but that didn't stop him from listening to Sun Zhengtao. "It's okay, Minister Sun. I can still handle it."

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Sun Zhengtao saw that Feng Sizhe was not drunk at all, so he nodded and told him what he knew about Xia Xiang.

Indeed, according to common sense, Xia Xiang has only been the mayor of Lianhua City for four years, and even in terms of organizational relationship, he should not leave there now. However, at the last provincial party committee's work meeting on the division of labor, someone did propose whether to transfer a young and energetic cadre like Xia Xiang to the province to enrich the capabilities of provincial cadres. Lianhua City has now entered a normal track, and having the youngest mayor in the country is enough.

Therefore, there is news that Xia Xiang might take up a post in the province before or after the New Year. As for where Xia Xiang will go, the province is still considering it. It has not said that he will definitely go to serve as deputy governor. It is just because the province happens to be short of such a vacancy, so people think so.

Sun Zhengtao looked at Xia Xiang and told him what he knew.

Listening to Sun Zhengtao's words, Feng Sizhe could even guess who came up with this idea. It must be the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Ping Guowang. He had no choice but to transfer his good assistant Xia Xiang away, and then find someone who didn't get along with him to interfere with him. He could guess all this, but he didn't expect that the province had not made any specific arrangements for Xia Xiang's job. Did that mean that there was no possibility of him being promoted to deputy governor? If that was the case, what kind of position would he be assigned to?

Sun Zhengtao didn't need to ask any more questions. If he really knew, he wouldn't hide it. After all, he had said so much. For this, Feng Sizhe thanked Sun Zhengtao and then drove to Lianhua City. Feng Sizhe, who was already a little dizzy in the car, didn't think about those troubles. He thought that when a person dies, the bird will fly up to the sky. He will talk about it when things really happen.

Xia Xiang seemed to have also come to terms with the guidance of Mr. Hua. He thought that if he could be appointed as vice governor at the young age of 44, then it didn't matter. As long as he worked hard, new opportunities might come to him, and he might even be able to move up to a higher level.

In this way, this matter that originally bothered Xia Xiang and Feng Sizhe was gradually faded away. However, some things cannot be avoided even if you don't want them to happen. This will be mentioned in detail later.

It was November of 000, and the Huayuan smuggling case that had attracted national attention was finally coming to an end. Under the chairmanship of Long Zaitian in the Sino-Legal Committee and the guidance of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, batches of officials and businessmen were brought to justice. The number of people involved broke the record since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

A total of more than 200 cadres were dealt with, including more than 100 at the section level, more than 80 at the deputy division level and above, more than 20 at the deputy department level, and more than a dozen at the deputy minister level and above. Even a deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security was dealt with. Of course, this person was also one of the Zhu faction cadres. Among these deputy ministers, He Lisheng was prominently included.

This was something Feng Sizhe had never remembered. In his previous life, He Lisheng did not seem to have been punished so severely. How could he be expelled from the party and sentenced to a heavy sentence this time?

It turned out that this was the result of Feng Sizhe's intervention in the incident. In the previous life, someone got evidence that the He family was involved in the smuggling case, but it was not handed over to the task force leader Long Zaitian, so the He family was missed. But in this life, because of Feng Sizhe's participation, all the evidence was handed over. So where can the He family run?

He Lisheng fell, and He Yonggang was also dealt with as a businessman and sentenced. Zhu Zitong was also given a warning. Of course, this was also the reason why old man Zhu Tianjiang came forward to protect him. Otherwise, Zhu Zitong would not be able to escape. He had a good grandfather who allowed him to escape, but he was also punished by being confined to his family for half a year.

Zhu Zitong at home now hates Feng Sizhe to death, because if it weren't for this person, the information Cui Henghua had obtained would not have been handed over to Long Zaitian. Without these materials, He Yonggang would not have fallen, and if he did not fall, he would not bite himself. After all, the ultimate source is still here with Feng Sizhe.

Relying on his grandfather's love for him, Zhu Zitong spoke ill of Feng Sizhe in front of his grandfather every day, and said that Feng Sizhe dared to do this to the Zhu family since he was now a mayor. If he became a higher-ranking official in the future, the Zhu family would definitely have a powerful enemy. This time, he tried his hand and took down a deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security from the Zhu family, which was solid evidence.

Although he felt somewhat ashamed of what his grandson had done, Zhu Zitong's threats to the Zhu family still gave Zhu Tianjiang ideas and made him take it seriously. So he called Liu Yuesong, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission in Guangxi Province, and asked him about Feng Sizhe's situation there.

Mr. Zhu called personally, and Liu Yuesong of course took it very seriously. He reported Feng Sizhe's situation in detail and said that in Guangxi Province, Feng Sizhe's work still received praise and support from the majority of the provincial party committees, and it would be troublesome to touch him.

When Mr. Zhu heard that Feng Sizhe was really capable, and thought that he was only 32 years old and already the mayor, he couldn't help but have a headache. Could it be true, as his grandson said, that once Feng Sizhe got to a higher position, he would pose a threat to the Zhu family?

Liu Yuesong knew that some of his words would make the leader think he was incompetent, but this was the truth, and he did not dare to hide anything. Besides, Feng Sizhe was indeed difficult to deal with, and it was really difficult to deal with him. Thinking about how Feng Sizhe could be so powerful, he suddenly remembered the rumors about Xia Xiang, the secretary of the Lianhua Municipal Party Committee, and suddenly he felt that this seemed to be a breakthrough, so he reported the situation about Xia Xiang to Mr. Zhu.

"Mr. Zhu, the situation is like this. Feng Sizhe is now the mayor of Lianhua City, and the secretary of the municipal party committee there has a good relationship with him. It is precisely because of the support of the municipal party committee that the work of the municipal government is carried out without any trouble. Now there is a rumor in our province that the secretary of the municipal party committee there is going to be transferred. So it is almost impossible for Feng Sizhe to be the secretary of the municipal party committee with his qualifications, so it is very likely that a new secretary will be sent. If this secretary is used well, he can completely suppress Feng Sizhe."

Zhu Tianjiang listened carefully to Liu Yuesong's report. What he said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Well, do you know who is the person in charge of this matter?" Old Master Zhu thought that there is no smoke without fire. Someone must have the same idea. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Maybe he can contact people who dislike Feng Sizhe as much as he does and get this done.

"Oh, it's our deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Ping Guowang. This is the idea he proposed. By the way, Ping Guowang is a member of the Lu faction." Liu Yuesong added.

When he heard that it was Lu's faction, Zhu Tianjiang laughed. Yes, Lu's faction was the same as his. The young master of Lu's faction had also been beaten by Feng Sizhe. It seemed that he and he had the same idea. "Okay, Yuesong, do your work well. If there are any suggestions about Pingguo Wang recently, you should fully support them."

Zhu Tianjiang had already thought of a good way to unite with the Lu family. After hanging up the phone with Liu Yuesong, he called the Lu family and asked them to tell the head of the Lu family that he wanted to have tea with them when he was free.
