Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Long before Mr. Hua was coming, Che Zaichao had arranged for Sun Hui to keep an eye on him. He believed that as long as he could keep an eye on Mr. Hua and know what he did in a day, it was no wonder that he would have bad ideas. He also knew that Mr. Hua had no influence on him at all. If he was willing, he could listen to what he had to say. If he was not willing, he could just leave with the excuse that he was busy with work. He could not do anything to him.

Sun Hui followed the car's intention to keep a close eye on Mr. Hua. Not only Mr. Hua, but also Feng Sizhe felt it. There was always a little tail behind them, but the municipal party committee did say that in order to better serve Mr. Hua, both of them were somewhat helpless. Some people always judge others with caution.

In order to prevent Che Zaichao from thinking that he wanted to do something, Feng Sizhe discussed with Hua Lao. Most of the time, Hua Lao would go to see it by himself. Unless he wanted to understand something, Feng Sizhe would go with Hua Lao. Otherwise, it was better for them to separate. This was actually to prevent any adverse effects, and Hua Lao also supported this.

During the day, Mr. Hua would sit and look around, especially the city's agricultural issues, which he was always interested in. In the evening, he would call some of the elderly people in Lianhua City who had worked with him before, and they would have a meal together, chat and enhance their relationships.

In this way, Mr. Hua stayed in Lianhua City for three days. On the fourth day, Mr. Hua came to Huanan District to investigate the work. As the secretary of the Huanan District Committee, Xiang Feng warmly received Mr. Hua and his party.

Over the past few days, Mr. Hua has not caused any trouble and has not been nosy. This behavior has made Sun Hui, who has been following him, relax his vigilance. Seeing that Mr. Hua went to Huanan District to inspect the work today, he thought that it would be the same as the previous three days, taking a quick look and then returning to the hotel to rest, so he did not follow him, but arranged for his subordinates to accompany him, and he actually went to find a place to eat, drink and have fun.

Without anyone following them, Hua Lao and Xiang Feng, the district party secretary, had a secret conversation in their office. Xiang Feng suddenly said that he had something urgent to report to Hua Lao, and he hoped to have a quiet environment, so the two sat together.

"Comrade Xiang Feng, if you have anything to say, just tell us. Our party cadres should be open and aboveboard in doing things. It's not good to be evasive like this." After sitting in Xiang Feng's office, Hua Lao said to Xiang Feng. This is because he knew that Xiang Feng was someone Feng Sizhe trusted very much, otherwise he would not have followed what the other party said and had such a secret conversation with him.

"Yes, that's what Master Hua taught me. Actually, I don't want to do this, but because the matter is serious, I have to do it for the sake of being careful." Xiang Feng said with an embarrassed look.

"Hmm? What important matter is it that makes you so careful?" Old Hua asked Xiang Feng.

"The situation is like this, Elder Hua. The seeds and fertilizers distributed to our Huanan District by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government this time had problems. After testing, we found that the seeds were just ordinary seeds suitable for the land in the Central Plains, and the fertilizers were mixed with a lot of other useless chemical components." Xiang Feng reported the situation to Elder Hua as requested by Feng Sizhe.

The main purpose of Feng Sizhe calling Hua Lao this time was to talk about this matter. Feng Sizhe knew that if he raised this issue, it would inevitably make the provincial party committee leaders think that he was looking for trouble with the Zhu family again. It is very likely that this matter will be classified as a political struggle. If so, it will be too disadvantageous for him, and it will make others feel that he is a person who likes to find fault. For this reason, in order to avoid this situation, he invited Hua Lao. If Hua Lao exposed this matter, the nature of it would completely change. It would become a retired cadre caring about people's livelihood. In that case, the provincial party committee leaders would have to intervene. In addition, Hua Lao's unparalleled influence on Governor Du Shengzheng made him believe that the provincial party committee would eventually wield the sword of justice in this matter.

Sure enough, after listening to Xiang Feng's report, Hua Lao was stunned for a moment, "Comrade Xiang Feng, you are kidding me."

"Mr. Hua, I don't have that courage. I am very clear about the serious consequences these words will bring." Xiang Feng nodded, looking as if he didn't dare to tell a lie.

"Oh, then who else knows about this matter? Does your Mayor Feng know about it?" Old Hua thought for a while and asked this question.

Old Hua is a man who has experienced countless struggles and can see through some things at a glance. He doesn't believe that Feng Sizhe doesn't know about this. If Xiang Feng doesn't even report to him, but reports directly to himself, he will never believe it even if he is beaten to death.

Fortunately, Xiang Feng's next answer was relatively honest, which made Old Hua feel much more at ease. Xiang Feng said that Mayor Feng already knew about this matter, but in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, he had not yet figured out what to do. This answer at least showed that the other party was honest and had no intention of deceiving him.

"So that's how it is. Indeed, this batch of seeds and fertilizers was brought in by Comrade Che Zaichao. If your Mayor Feng were to leak it out, it would seem that there is a disagreement between the top two leaders of the municipal party committee. Well, it's normal for your Mayor Feng to hesitate." Old Hua nodded. After analyzing the situation, he understood Feng Sizhe's approach.

"Yes, what Elder Hua said is absolutely right. Mayor Feng was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble if he told the truth, so he didn't mention it. But now, with Elder Hua here, these are not a problem. We believe that Elder Hua will definitely uphold justice for the farmers in Lianhua City." Xiang Feng took the opportunity to flatter him.

"Okay, Comrade Xiang Feng, don't try to just flatter me. I won't listen to your one-sided story either. Well, among the staff who came with me this time, there happens to be comrades from the Provincial Department of Agriculture who are in charge of inspection. I think we should give them the samples first and let them come up with a valid inspection report before we talk." Old Hua naturally wouldn't act as rashly as the youngsters, who would believe everything they heard. After all, he would have to be 100% confident before he would stand up and speak.

"That's no problem. We have a lot of seeds and fertilizers stored in our warehouse in Huanan District. You can send people to inspect them at any time." Xiang Feng said firmly. It was true. He didn't worry at all.

Under the silent arrangement of Mr. Hua and with the full cooperation of Xiang Feng, the inspection personnel from the Provincial Department of Agriculture entered the warehouse in Huanan District without anyone noticing, took samples for testing, and the report would not come out until a day later. Apparently, Lianhua City was still calm that day.

Che Zaichao didn't know anything about seeds and fertilizers, so he didn't take Hua Lao's visit seriously. He heard Sun Hui's report in the office that Hua Lao would visit various places in Lianhua during the day, and would take the initiative to meet with some elderly people in Lianhua at night. Many of these elderly people were very influential in Lianhua, such as Ruan Guiben's father, Ruan Yixin. In the past few days, Hua Lao basically went to see Ruan Yixin every night, and the two would talk until very late.

Listening to Sun Hui's report, Che Zaichao's eyes flashed with displeasure.

Regardless of whether it would work or not, Che Zaichao didn't like the fact that Hua Lao came to Lianhua City to help Feng Sizhe. After all, he was a helper hired by his opponent, how could he be happy? Now, listening to Hua Lao talking to some old people in Lianhua City, he could even imagine that the content of the conversation should be to persuade them to support Feng Sizhe.

"Secretary Che, what should we do? This old man obviously has bad intentions." Sun Hui looked at himself and saw that Che Zaichao still didn't say anything after talking for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Why are you in such a hurry? He's just an old man. Even if he talks to those old guys in Lianhua City, these people may not listen to him. You should know that Old Hua has already retired and has no real power. Such a person is like a dying lion. He seems to have some style, but he actually has no fighting power. So don't be afraid, let him talk. Besides, we are all smart people. Will they choose to support Feng Sizhe based on a few words from this old man? I don't believe it." Che Zaichao looked as if he didn't take Old Hua seriously.

Indeed, if there were no seeds and fertilizers, the best that Hua Lao could do was to ask these people to support Feng Sizhe's work as much as possible. Even though he said so, it was still unclear what others would do. But now that he has found the sore spot that Che Zaichao was not even aware of, things are completely different.

Old Hua took advantage of this incident and did a lot of work in it. Especially on the night when he was waiting for the test report, he had a long talk with Ruan Yixin and several other respected elders in Lianhua City.

"Everyone, you are all old people in Lianhua City. I think we have only one wish in our old age, that is to see Lianhua City, which we have worked hard for, become better and better. Am I right?" Mr. Hua said to the old people. After that, he said, "We are retired now, so we should be aware of the situation when we retire. We should not take care of other people's business. But I ask you not to forget that we are at least party members and citizens. If so, we cannot watch some wrong things continue to develop, for example..."

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

The moon was hanging high in the courtyard of Ruan's home, which meant that the time should be after ten o'clock in the evening.

Here, Ruan Yixin was standing in front of a vegetable field he planted for a long time without saying a word, and standing behind him was his son, Ruan Guiben, the current deputy secretary of the Lianhua Municipal Party Committee.
