Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"That's wrong. I don't think it's just one or two people who say what Comrade Wu Sheng is like. In my opinion, he works very hard. It's just that Lianhua City is poor and the Municipal Finance Bureau is not easy to work in. There is too much money and too many places to spend the money, so naturally the work is not as good as everyone thinks. This is understandable. So, I don't agree with the suggestions of Mayor Dong and Commander Guo just now." As soon as Executive Vice President Xu Yongcheng saw someone attacking Che Zaichao, he immediately jumped out and expressed his attitude.

As soon as Xu Yongcheng jumped out, an unhappy light flashed in Che Zaichao's eyes. He had agreed with this man before that he should not speak without waiting for his signal, but why didn't this man listen? Now that he has exposed his attitude too early, will Feng Sizhe still jump into this trap?

Xu Yongcheng didn't know that he had originally wanted to come according to Che Zaichao's request and wait for the other person to cough to give a signal, but after listening to Guo Pingchuan's words just now, he became a little angry. In order to show his loyalty, he jumped out one step ahead of time to show his intention to protect Che Zaichao.

After Xu Yongcheng jumped out, the next person to speak was Huang Lin, secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee. He also immediately expressed his attitude, "Yes, I also think that Comrade Wu Sheng's work is good. In the environment and conditions of our Lianhua City, it is not easy to be the director of the Finance Bureau, so I support it."

"I support it too." Minister of Propaganda Song Jian also expressed his support later.

"It's all messed up, all messed up." Che Zaichao sighed in his heart. He originally wanted to wait for Feng Sizhe to express his attitude, and then let these people attack him together. This way, he could effectively undermine Feng Sizhe's authority in the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting. However, he did not expect that Guo Pingchuan's disruption made Xu Yongcheng unable to sit still, and he said what he wanted to say in advance. Then, the other few people who had greeted him also followed suit. This made it difficult to catch any linguistic errors in Feng Sizhe and attack him.

Suddenly, three people supported Wu Sheng, which was something Feng Sizhe had not expected. He could understand why Xu Yongcheng would do this, after all, this person immediately defected to Che Zaichao after he arrived. He could see it, and many people could see it, but Huang Lin and Song Jian would also support Wu Sheng and stand with Xu Yongcheng, which made him think more. He suddenly felt that Che Zaichao was determined to get Wu Sheng on the list this time. Since he had made all the preparations, should he still force his way in? What were his chances of winning if he forced his way in?

Feng Sizhe could not help but look at Ruan Guiben, who had not spoken yet, and Chen Zhenghai, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Ding Yi, the head of the United Front Work Department. He wanted to see something from their eyes. He looked around and saw two people with their heads down. This scene shocked Feng Sizhe again. Could it be that these three people also supported Che Zaichao? In this case, even if he focused all his abilities, he would not have any advantage in this matter. Knowing that he could not win, he still wanted to fight. That was reckless, and he would not do that.

After a few moments, Feng Sizhe made a decision through observation, that is, he would not force himself in this matter, he would just go with the flow. Since he was not sure of winning, he would not try to force it.

Three consecutive members of the Municipal Party Committee spoke in support of Wu Sheng, which made the atmosphere in the meeting hall tense. Everyone thought that the two forces were exchanging fire, and everyone's attention was highly focused, wanting to see how the situation would develop next.

Che Zaichao was even more excited. He was looking forward to Feng Sizhe's speech, and then he would immediately fight back and instantly reduce Feng Sizhe's prestige through this incident, so that his first battle would be successful.

Che Zaichao couldn't help but look at Feng Sizhe. In fact, it was not just him. After the meeting calmed down, everyone looked at Feng Sizhe. Everyone knew that he had the most say in this matter. Did he support or oppose it? Would his support or opposition be effective? This was what everyone needed to pay attention to.

Feng Sizhe sat there drinking tea leisurely. He could feel everyone's eyes were on him, but he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he drank the tea slowly, as if the tea contained the sweetest taste that made people reluctant to put it down.

After three minutes of silence, Feng Sizhe still said nothing, which made Che Zaichao, who thought he could keep his composure, unable to hold back. "Mayor Feng, what do you think of this matter? The Municipal Finance Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Government. I think you should have your own opinions. Why not speak out?"

"What I mean is..." Feng Sizhe slowly put down his cup of tea while waiting for the car to overtake. Seeing that everyone was waiting for his answer, he laughed, "My opinion is that I have no opinion. I fully respect everyone's choice."

As soon as this opinion of no opinion was expressed, Che Zaichao was stunned. Then he cursed "little fox" in his heart. Then, he admired Feng Sizhe's observation ability, knowing that this person knew that he would lose today, and immediately made the decision not to speak or express his opinion. This was so correct, but it was not a decision and choice that ordinary people could make in an instant, because it was equivalent to him giving up resistance, which made people unable to get the pleasure of victory.

"Oh, Mayor Feng has no objection. Well, in that case, I think it's settled. Let's vote. There are only two people against it, and there are three in favor of it. Those who agree, please proceed." As he spoke, Che Zaichao was the first to raise his hand. Since you, Feng Sizhe, don't want to go against me, then I'll end it early. Anyway, he won this time.

Che Zaichao raised his hand, and in addition to the three people who expressed support, the city's Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Chen Zhenghai and the city's United Front Work Department Minister Ding Yi also raised their hands. This reached six votes, nearly half.

Che Zaichao was not very satisfied with the result. He felt very embarrassed that he did not get more than half of the votes. Since he did not get more than half of the votes, he still had to vote. He continued, "Please raise your hands if you are against this item."

When he said this, Che Zaichao even felt a little guilty, because he was afraid that the number of votes against would exceed the number of votes in favor, and if that happened, he would really lose face. But the actual result made him feel relieved, because the two votes against were from Dong Yongzhao and Guo Pingchuan, and the next two, including Feng Sizhe, Deputy Secretary Ruan Guiben, Organization Minister Cheng Dashan, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Ben, and Huabei District Party Committee Secretary Li Haiwen, all abstained from voting, so Wu Sheng still won.

Although the victory was a little risky, it was still a victory after all. So, with a slam of Che Dachao's hammer, Wu Sheng's name was written in black and white on the list and reported to the province.

The first close combat did not produce any intense sparks, which many people did not expect. Afterwards, some people discussed this matter, and even some experts who specialized in studying Feng Sizhe's growth history had a special discussion on today's Lianhua Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. They concluded that Feng Sizhe's choice to do so was the most correct choice at the moment. Because even if Feng Sizhe opposed it, he could only get six votes at most. Ruan Guiben would not make a choice so early, so that he would have six votes equal to Che Zaichao's six votes. The secretary had the final veto power, so even if everyone voted equally, Che Zaichao would still win in the end. If that were the case, Feng Sizhe worked hard, but did not win. This result was the worst. It was far better not to fight or compete, and just watch Che Zaichao perform there, so that it would not be shameful even if he lost.

Without trying hard, Che Zaichao seemed to have won the first game. When the Executive Vice Mayor Xu Yongcheng congratulated him after the meeting, Che Zaichao did not feel any joy at all. This time he won because his opponent did not fight for him. It was not a pleasant and honorable win. He was thinking in his mind how to take the second chance of defeating Feng Sizhe fairly. After thinking about it, he realized that if he wanted to win steadily, he must strive for one more vote. It would be best if this person was in Feng Sizhe's camp. As a secretary, he really couldn't bear to see that the votes for the construction he proposed did not even reach half. It was too embarrassing.

Looking at the list of people belonging to Feng Sizhe's camp, he circled Li Haiwen's name.

Why did Che Zaichao choose Li Haiwen? It was because he had dealt with this person before, and because he had spoken for this person last time. Afterwards, Li Haiwen also showed his goodwill to him in other ways. Although it was not very obvious, he could indeed feel it, and he also understood it. After all, Li Haiwen was entrusted to Feng Sizhe by Xia Xiang. He could understand that he could not come to his side quickly.

"Mayor Xu? Could you please arrange for me to have dinner with Comrade Li Haiwen in the evening?" After Che Zaichao had an idea, he was ready to act.

"What? Invite Li Haiwen to dinner? Can he come?" Xu Yongcheng was a little unconvinced.

"Haha, if he is a smart person, he will definitely come. If you don't believe me, just give him a call and try." Che Zaichao said confidently.

Indeed, when Xu Yongcheng called Li Haiwen, he really did not refuse and said that he would definitely come in the evening. So why did he make such a choice? The answer is of course that he is a smart man.

Li Haiwen is just a district party secretary at the deputy department level. Although this statement is somewhat contradictory, it is actually true. He is in charge of a district. He knows very well that Feng Sizhe, as the head of a city, may be able to go against Che Zaichao, the municipal party secretary, but he cannot. The reason is that the level is there. Even if Feng Sizhe irritates Che Zaichao, he can't do anything. After all, everyone's level is the same, not much different. But he is different. If he offends the municipal party secretary, will he have a good life in the future? What if he makes things difficult for him? Does he have the ability to resist?
