Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Mr. Miao was not telling Feng Sizhe what the most important point was. He was clearly giving him advice, telling him how to reverse the current unfavorable situation and how to overcome the weakness of the veto.

After listening to what Mr. Miao said, Feng Sizhe suddenly understood the true meaning of what he said. That's right, Sun Hui was not suitable to be the secretary general of the municipal party committee. If something went wrong with him, the responsibility would be attributed to Che Zaichao. This kind of blow was very heavy, and it was also the most direct and effective method.

After figuring this out, Feng Sizhe suddenly bowed deeply to Miao Di, "Grandpa, thank you, thank you for teaching me."

Seeing that Feng Sizhe figured it out after listening to his advice, Feng Sizhe laughed, "Okay, very good, haha, it couldn't be better now that you know what to do."

At the Miao family, in front of Old Man Miao, Feng Sizhe received a lot of instruction and learned a lot of things, which gave him a direction for his future fight with Che Zaichao.

Late that evening, Feng Sizhe finished his dinner at the Miao family and then returned to the Zhao family courtyard. He Shasha and Xiao Yueqing were still at the He family and had not returned, which gave him a rare moment of peace and quiet. After returning to his room and thinking about it again and again, he put on his clothes again and went straight to the west wing.

Most of the people living in the west wing are the Zhao family's guards and staff, while in the large suite at the eastern end of the west wing lives Colonel Li Zhiyong, the captain of my grandfather General Zhao Mingyuan's guard and his work and life assistant.

I heard that Li Zhiyong will be promoted to major general soon. Generally, the closest people to the members of the Central Military Commission can be promoted to major general. This time, Feng Sizhe came to congratulate Li Zhiyong under this banner.

Li Zhiyong congratulated Feng Sizhe on his arrival and expressed his gratitude, "Haha, Xiaozhe, you are well-informed, but the Military Commission is still considering this matter, and no official document has been issued yet."

"Hey, Uncle Li, you are too polite. According to the standards, you should have been promoted long ago, but it has been delayed until now due to various reasons. This is basically a foregone conclusion. Uncle Li, please don't be polite. I believe that when I return to the courtyard next time, Uncle Li will be wearing a general's uniform." Feng Sizhe knew that Li Zhiyong had been with his grandfather for a long time. In the previous life, even when his grandfather was critically ill, he still stayed with him. This kind of loyalty is indeed beyond doubt, so he has never regarded this person as an outsider.

"Haha, well, since Xiaozhe said so, then I will accept your congratulations in advance. Oh, by the way, is there something that brings you here so late? Don't tell me it's just for this matter?" Li Zhiyong looked at Feng Sizhe and said with a smile. He didn't think that Feng Sizhe would visit him late at night because of this matter. This was not Feng Sizhe's style of doing things.

"Haha, Uncle Li is really amazing. He has sharp eyes and can tell at a glance that I have other things to do." Feng Sizhe scratched his head and said embarrassedly. After saying all this, he added, "Actually, I did come here for something else. I want to thank Uncle Li for accepting Cui Henghua and solving my troubles."

"Well, it's about this matter. Then you don't have to thank me. If you really want to thank someone, go thank your grandfather. This is your grandfather's order, and I'm just the executor." When talking about this matter, Li Zhiyong waved his hands and acted as if to say, "Don't thank me for this."

"Uncle Li, you're too polite. I've talked with Cui Henghua, and he said that Uncle Li took good care of him in the guard team. Just for this, I want to thank him. Haha, Uncle Li, I don't know what you think of Cui Henghua. Is he qualified to be a guard?" Feng Sizhe took the opportunity to talk about Cui Henghua, because this was the reason he came here this time.

"Qualified, qualified. This person is very alert and good at observation, but I heard that his skills are not that good. It doesn't matter. The leader has no shortage of experts around him, and he can be of help if something happens." Li Zhiyong had a clear understanding of Cui Henghua's strengths and weaknesses, and he saw through him very clearly.

Taking advantage of Li Zhiyong's statement that he didn't need this person, Feng Sizhe quickly stepped forward and said, "Haha, Uncle Li, it would be great if you really don't need this person. I wonder if I can borrow him first."

"Hmm?" Feng Sizhe suddenly said he wanted to borrow someone, which made Li Zhiyong look at him in surprise, and then he laughed as if he understood something, "Good boy, Xiaozhe, it seems you are here to borrow someone, haha, I told you to just say it directly, why are you going through so much trouble, what's the use of asking Cui Henghua?"

"Haha, this needs to be kept secret for the time being. It's not that I don't trust Uncle Li, but some things that seem big to me are actually trivial matters to you, so there's no need for me to tell you. I just want to borrow Cui Henghua to help me with something, but I don't know if the security arrangements on Grandpa's side are appropriate, so I came to ask Uncle Li."

Feng Sizhe had his reasons for not wanting to say anything, and Li Zhiyong certainly wouldn't ask. As for whether Cui Henghua was missing among the guards, the answer was of course quite a few. As a member of the Military Commission of the Republic, General Zhao had quite a few guards around him, so one less was not a big deal. Besides, one more person could be transferred from the Central Guard Bureau at any time, as Zhao Wangang worked there, so it was a small matter.

"Haha, no problem, no problem. Since Xiaozhe has taken a fancy to this man and wants to put him to use, just lend him the money. Just give me a date for when you want to return him. When the leader asks about it later, I will know what to say." Li Zhiyong generously agreed to lend Cui Henghua to Feng Sizhe.

"Thank you Uncle Li for your support. I think it won't take too long, maybe half a year at most, a few months at least, or I will send the person back. Of course, it is not ruled out that I will continue to use him. If so, I will tell my grandfather in person." Feng Sizhe told him the time to borrow Cui Henghua.

"No hurry, no hurry. If you want to use this person, you can keep using him. It doesn't matter. Haha." Li Zhiyong laughed and did Feng Sizhe a favor.

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

This time, Feng Sizhe stayed in Kyoto for a longer time and did not return to Lianhua City until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

During this period of time, Feng Sizhe not only visited all the leaders in Kyoto with whom he had a good relationship, but also spent time with He Shasha, Miao Zihan, and Ren Yingying, fully fulfilling his responsibilities as a husband. During the Chinese New Year, Li Shuang's wife Su Si gave birth to a big fat boy, which made Li Shuang smile so much. At the request of Li Shuang and Su Si, Feng Sizhe asked his grandfather to give the child a very manly name, Li Zilong.

It was this Li Zilong who, when he grew up, became the personal bodyguard of Miao Guofeng, the No. 1 man at the time. His martial arts skills were so advanced and his abilities were so good that many comrades in the Central Guard Bureau were far inferior to him.

Li Shuang followed Feng Sizhe again and boarded the plane to Lianhua City. This time there was another person accompanying them, that was Cui Henghua who had just been poached. The only difference was that he could not follow Feng Sizhe around like Li Shuang, but became a person like Li Hu, sitting not far from Feng Sizhe like a shadow, pretending not to know Feng Sizhe.

Cui Henghua had already been called by Feng Sizhe for a talk. When he learned that he had a new task, he was still very excited, because the work assigned to him by Feng Sizhe made him very excited, and it was a job he liked.

When they arrived in Lianhua City, it was already evening. Just after Feng Sizhe entered the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, the Municipal Government Secretary-General Chen Ping and Secretary Chen Guangming, who were left in Lianhua City, came to where he was living and reported an important matter. They heard that Che Zaichao had decided that at the first Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting in the new year, he would propose that Wu Sheng, who had just been appointed Director of the Finance Bureau, should serve concurrently as Deputy Mayor.

Upon hearing the news, Feng Sizhe frowned again and again. If Wu Sheng was only the director of the Finance Bureau, he would still be under the jurisdiction of the municipal government. Even as the mayor, Feng Sizhe could criticize him for his poor performance, or even remove him, without having to report to the municipal committee in advance. But if he became the deputy mayor, it would be completely different. To take him down, the approval of the municipal committee, the municipal people's congress, or even the provincial government would be needed. This would be like giving Wu Sheng an extra layer of insurance and protection. In the future, he would only need to flatter Che Zaichao and would not be subject to Feng Sizhe's control.

Hearing this news, Feng Sizhe knew that Che Zaichao wanted to further undermine his position as mayor. Originally, Feng Sizhe's influence on personnel matters was becoming less and less important. If his influence was no longer effective in terms of money, then the mayor would be nothing more than a puppet, and no one would need to take him seriously.

"Boss, we can't let this resolution pass, otherwise our future work will be passive." Chen Ping put forward his own suggestion.

"Yes, if this kind of thing really goes through, then we really won't be able to carry out our work." Chen Guangming also agreed.

The city government wants to develop and pass many proposals to develop the economy, and one thing that is indispensable is spending money. If the money is tied up in cars, it will invisibly bring a lot of inconvenience. Everyone understands this truth.

How could Feng Sizhe not know the power of this relationship? But now the situation in Lianhua City has been basically controlled by Che Zaichao, especially at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, where he has already gained the support of the majority of comrades, such as Huang Lin, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Xu Yongcheng, Executive Vice Mayor, Song Jian, Minister of Propaganda, and Li Haiwen, Secretary of the Huabei District Party Committee. If Sun Hui, who has basically been confirmed as the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, is included, then with Che Zaichao's own vote, there will be six votes in support. In that case, it would be possible to get just one middle vote and the plan would be successful. And since Che Zaichao proposed that Wu Sheng be appointed as Deputy Mayor, that was enough to show that he must have convinced someone, otherwise he would not have leaked the news so early.
