Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Mayor Feng, isn't there any better way? Also, if I give up my position, where will I work?" Wang Ben was very confused. If he really stepped down, there would be even fewer people supporting Feng Sizhe at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, which would be disadvantageous to him.

Feng Sizhe chuckled, "There is no better way at the moment, but it doesn't matter. This is how I plan to arrange your work. Just yesterday, Deputy Mayor Dong Yongzhao told me something. He was not feeling well, so he went to the hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with early-stage gastric cancer. This may also be related to not coming to work on time, so he wanted to retire for the sake of his health. I thought about it and was ready to agree. Even if this disease is cured, it must be well nursed back to health, otherwise it will definitely get worse. Once Mayor Dong leaves, there will be another vacant position. I want you to be the deputy mayor, and also a member of the municipal party committee standing committee. The level will remain the same, but the specific work you do will be more. I don't know what you mean."

"What?" Wang Ben's eyes, which were disappointed just now, showed a hint of surprise. "That... that's great. I can learn from you in person under Mayor Feng. This is what I most want to do."

"Okay, okay, if you agree, I will handle this matter, and you just need to wait for the transfer order." Feng Sizhe laughed and patted Wang Ben's shoulder. Dong Yongzhao was about to leave. He had been troubled by this matter. It was not that he did not have a suitable candidate, but he knew that no matter who he chose, Che Zaichao would stop him. After thinking about it, it seemed that it was only good to promote someone at the same level in Lianhua City, and he chose Wang Ben. He believed that Che Zaichao would not stop Wang Ben from the Municipal Party Committee to the Municipal Government. Feng Sizhe could not let the two deputy mayors who were elected to the Standing Committee be at odds with him. If he did, his future work would be really passive.

After greeting Wang Ben, Feng Sizhe took the time to come to the Municipal Party Committee and to the office of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary.

Che Zaichao welcomed Feng Sizhe's visit, but he was ready to reject him. He had learned from Xu Yongcheng that Wang Ben had visited Feng Sizhe, and he guessed that Wang Ben must have come for this matter. Feng Sizhe was right. Che Zaichao wanted to take advantage of this incident to take down Wang Ben. He would not give Feng Sizhe any chance in this matter.

Feng Sizhe smiled as he sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea, then said with a smile, "Secretary Che, are you used to working in Lianhua City? It's poor here, and the working environment is not as good as in Kyoto."

"Haha, Comrade Sizhe, you're joking. I'm not born to work in that kind of environment. When I was working in the Ministry of Public Security before, I encountered environments worse than this one, but I managed to hold on. Besides, the environment here is not that bad and it's acceptable." Che Zaichao said with a laugh. He knew that he did not have any advantage over Feng Sizhe in terms of age, but he could not admit that he was old, otherwise he would be weak in momentum.

"Well, actually, Secretary Che is at the right age to do big things. Of course he can't stand such an environment. But some of our comrades can't do that. For example, Deputy Mayor Dong Yongzhao of our municipal government unfortunately suffered from stomach cancer. This is probably because the working environment is too bad. Fortunately, it was in the early stages and there is a possibility of a radical cure." Feng Sizhe took the opportunity to talk about Dong Yongzhao's story.

Che Zaichao had never heard of Dong Yongzhao before. When he heard about it, he was naturally happy. However, he could not show any happy expression on his face. He just nodded and said, "If there is such a thing, we should hurry up and get good treatment."

"Yes, that's what I told him, but Comrade Dong Yongzhao did say that even if this disease is cured, it still requires recuperation, and he is afraid that he will not be able to work in the future, so he proposed to me the idea of ​​early retirement. I think Secretary Che has to make the decision on such an important matter, so I came here to report it." Feng Sizhe knew that this kind of thing had happened, which was a good thing for Che Zaichao, and his report would definitely be approved.

"Well, yes, health is the capital of revolution. If someone is not in good health, we can't force him to do anything. Besides, he has done revolutionary work for a lifetime, and we can't stop him from leaving just because he is short of a year or two. This doesn't make sense or emotion. Let me agree to this matter, and you ask him to send the report to the Municipal Committee." How could Che Zaichao not be happy when he heard that another of Feng Sizhe's die-hard fans was going to leave? This was something he had dreamed of encountering, and now that it really happened, he would naturally do him a favor.

"Haha, Secretary Che is right. I think Comrade Dong Yongzhao will be very happy to know that you agree to his early retirement. I will thank you on his behalf. However, the work of the municipal government is very heavy now. If Mayor Dong leaves, we need to fill this position quickly. I think..."

"I think this matter still needs to be discussed at the municipal party committee standing committee meeting, and then studied by the provincial party committee. You must know that this is not an ordinary deputy mayor, but a deputy mayor who will be a member of the standing committee. It must be carefully considered." Che Zaichao was afraid that Feng Sizhe would take the opportunity to nominate someone from Feng's faction, so he interrupted Feng Sizhe before he could finish speaking.

Knowing that Che Zaichao would not let him say what he said, Feng Sizhe smiled, smiling at the fact that others were cautiously judging his own mind, and then he said, "Secretary Che, I actually have an idea that I want to report to you in advance. I think it would be better if you wait until I finish speaking before drawing a conclusion, okay?"

"Oh, then Comrade Sizhe, please tell me what you think first." Seeing that Feng Sizhe was determined to speak, Che Zaichao had to agree reluctantly, but there was something else he said, which was, "You tell me first. If what you say is not to my liking, then I will definitely not agree."

"Haha, here's what I was thinking. After Mayor Dong Yongzhao leaves office, can we transfer Comrade Wang Ben, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, to take over this position? As you know, the work at the municipal government is indeed very busy and the workload is huge. We need manpower here now, so I took the liberty of poaching people from the municipal party committee. I hope Secretary Che will agree to it." Feng Sizhe laughed and expressed his thoughts.

"Ah... Hahaha, Sizhe, your idea is very good. Haha, it's just that I have to give you another talent, and you have to treat me." When Che Zaichao heard that Feng Sizhe wanted to transfer Wang Ben to the municipal government, how could he not agree? He was looking forward to it. Now that Feng Sizhe has done it for him, he can finally put his mind at ease.

In fact, he was in a dilemma about Wang Ben's matter. He had to bring up a father-in-law who had already submitted his resignation letter and had to involve his son-in-law. This matter had caused dissatisfaction among some people, especially some retired old cadres. They were very annoyed by this approach. They believed that this matter was over with Director Sun's early retirement and it was not appropriate to pursue it further. More than one person called Che Zaichao and expressed their attitudes about this matter. This was exactly what made him embarrassed. If he didn't pursue Director Sun's matter, he was worried that he would not be able to find other problems with Wang Ben and would not be able to remove the position of Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. Then it would be difficult for him to carry out his work in the Municipal Party Committee. Now, Feng Sizhe took the initiative to come to his house and help him solve this problem. Why would he refuse to listen to advice?

"Hey, Secretary Che, I just don't have a better idea." Feng Sizhe knew that others would agree to this matter, but he still had to humble himself for the sake of face so as to ensure the smooth progress of the matter.

"Well, that's true. Comrade Wang Ben is very capable at work. It's a waste of his talent to let such a person be forced to be the secretary-general of the municipal party committee. Since Mayor Feng thinks so highly of him, I think this matter can be considered. I think we should hold a meeting of the municipal party committee standing committee to decide it, and then you and I will sign and report it to the provincial party committee." Che Zaichao was still afraid that Feng Sizhe would go back on his word, so he quickly expressed his agreement with this matter and asked for it to be decided quickly.

"That's great. If that's the case, then I'll wait for the news." Feng Sizhe nodded. He knew that the work was done and it was time to leave.

As soon as Feng Sizhe left, Che Zaichao excitedly walked around the office twice, then called Xu Yongcheng and asked him to come to his place. He had finally managed to take down Wang Ben, and now what he had to do was to find someone to take over this position.

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

"What? Transfer Wang Ben to the municipal government as deputy mayor?" Xu Yongcheng's heart tightened when he heard Che Zaichao's decision.

It would be nothing to have Dong Yongzhao as the deputy mayor. He is old and doesn't want to fight with anyone anymore. He just does his job well. But if it is Wang Ben, can he be as honest as Dong Yongzhao? He has teamed up with Secretary Che to deal with his father-in-law, so he will definitely take revenge on him. If that is the case, his situation will be bad.

"Yes, that's great. Wang Ben can give up the position of Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, which will be very beneficial for me to control the Municipal Party Committee. Besides, Dong Yongzhao is leaving and Wang Ben is taking his place, which means that the Feng faction has one less person. This is a great thing. Why not do it?" Che Zaichao didn't even think about whether Xu Yongcheng's life would be easier in the future. He was thinking about taking control of the Municipal Party Committee first.

"But Secretary Che, once Wang Ben goes to the municipal government, it will be disadvantageous to me. I..." Xu Yongcheng wanted to explain his situation.
