Rebirth of the Rising Sun

In the conference room of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee Building, Luo Hao, on behalf of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee, announced the appointment of Comrade Feng Sizhe. It was announced that Comrade Feng Sizhe would serve as the Standing Committee Member and Secretary of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee, and concurrently the First Secretary of the Tongda Military Sub-district Party Committee. This appointment means that Feng Sizhe has certain power over the Tongda Military Sub-district. Although this is only a part-time job, if it comes to a critical moment, he can directly give orders to the military sub-district here.

Ever since Feng Sizhe graduated from the Youth Class, he has worked as a secretary in the Secretariat of the Military Commission. Although he has not been a secretary to any high-ranking official, he still has the qualifications, and the issue of his military appointment also exists. So once he is appointed as the top leader of a place, he will naturally have an additional identity than others. This is probably his only privilege in the Zhao family.

At the age of only 33, he has already become the secretary of the municipal party committee of Tongda City and is already the top leader. This makes many people in the audience envious and they all sigh that this young man is extraordinary.

Feng Sizhe has been treating this meeting with great respect. He knows that he will be in charge of Tongda City in the future, but he is not arrogant at all, because he knows very well in his heart that the current Tongda City is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Although he has the position of secretary of the municipal party committee, it will take a long process for people here to recognize him, and he needs to rely on his own efforts.

In contrast, Mayor Ru Honghai was much more excited. He had come to Tongda City earlier than Feng Sizhe to report. Coming earlier, he had deeply experienced the feeling of a mayor without real power and the feeling of being oppressed by Deputy Secretary Mou Guoyang. Now, Feng Sizhe had finally arrived, and he believed that his chance was coming and he was about to turn things around.

Looking at Mou Guoyang, he kept squinting his eyes, and his expression seemed to be smiling, but also a little serious, which made it impossible for everyone to tell what he was thinking. It can be said that this man was quite cunning and resourceful, otherwise the Gan family would not be willing to hand over Tongda City to him.

After reading out the provincial party committee's decision to appoint Feng Sizhe, Luo Hao, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, loudly announced that Feng Sizhe would speak. Then there was thunderous applause, as everyone was waiting for the new secretary to speak.

Feng Sizhe stood up with a smile and said briefly to the microphone, "My name is Feng Sizhe, and we will be working together in the future. I am new to Tongda City and am not very familiar with everything here, so I don't have much say, so I won't say more. I just hope that everyone can cooperate with my work in the future. Thank you."

This should be considered a very low-key speech. There is no profound truth or lofty ambition. It is just a very ordinary introduction of myself to everyone.

Regarding Feng Sizhe's simple speech, the people below had different opinions. Some thought that Feng Sizhe was deliberately being low-key and that he made his speech so short in order to be different from others, so that he would appear different from others. Of course, some people thought that Feng Sizhe was too nervous. He had never seen such a grand occasion and was frightened, so he didn't know what to say.

But those who were actually sitting on the stage were thinking about another problem, which was that Feng Sizhe seemed difficult to deal with. As the ancients said, "If you talk too much, you will make mistakes." If a person speaks so briefly, it will be difficult to find faults with him in the future. Such a person is much more difficult to deal with than those who talk too much.

After Luo Hao announced Feng Sizhe's appointment, the thirteen members of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee were all in place. They were ranked as follows: Feng Sizhe, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and First Secretary of the Municipal Military Sub-district Party Committee; Ru Honghai, Deputy Secretary, Deputy Mayor, and Acting Mayor; Mou Guoyang, full-time Deputy Secretary; Hong Tao, Deputy Secretary and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission; Liu Xiangang, Deputy Secretary and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission; Yang Chao, Executive Deputy Mayor; Duan Hewei, Minister of Organization; Wang Shiguang, Minister of Propaganda; Wang Lixue, Minister of United Front Work; Deng Lei, Deputy Mayor; Gao Renyi, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee; Zhu Yingjie, Secretary of the Tongshan District Party Committee; and Li Pengwei, Commander of the Military Sub-district.

All thirteen standing committee members are on the list. In the future, Tongda City will be centered around these thirteen people, and these thirteen people will basically have the final say on all matters big and small in Tongda City.

The welcome party, also known as the meeting, ended quickly, and the next item was the second one, which was the welcome banquet.

There is an old saying in the Republic that no banquet is complete without wine. This custom has spread to official circles. Whenever leaders come to inspect work, wine is indispensable for welcoming and seeing off guests. How much wine a person can drink is sometimes even related to whether he or she is successful in official circles.

This was a banquet to welcome the provincial leaders' inspection, and also to welcome the arrival of the municipal party secretary. Naturally, there was a lot of wine at the banquet. Not only was there a lot of wine, but there were also many people who came to drink.

Ru Honghai, who was sitting next to Feng Sizhe, took advantage of the moment and whispered to Feng Sizhe, "How is your alcohol tolerance? If it's not good, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise, you will make a fool of yourself."

After saying this, Ru Honghai sat up straight again, as if he had not said the previous sentence. And this sentence really made Feng Sizhe think, why did Ru Honghai say such an inappropriate thing at this time? Could it be that he had suffered a loss on this issue before?

Feng Sizhe was right. Ru Honghai had indeed suffered a loss in drinking when he came to Tongda City half a month ago. At that time, the cadres here also held a banquet to welcome him. He thought it was a favor from everyone, so he happily went to the banquet and drank a lot of wine until he was drunk and unconscious. It can be said that he made a big fool of himself. Now seeing the cadres here repeating the same old trick, he kindly reminded Feng Sizhe, because from a certain perspective, both of them belonged to the outside system.

"Come on, comrades, pour the wine. Secretary Luo and Secretary Feng are here to visit our Tongda City today. This is the organization's respect for us, the Tongda City. In order to thank the organization and the two leaders, we must drink well today and show our enthusiasm as the Tongda City cadres." Mou Guoyang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly became high-profile and started to make arrangements.

Mou Guoyang can drink a lot, he drank three ounces of liquor in one gulp. "As a cadre of the same city, I will set an example, and everyone can follow suit."

He didn't even eat a single bite of the food before drinking a whole glass of wine. Most people couldn't handle this.

Feng Sizhe had breakfast this morning, and then he had been in the car and had a meeting. He hadn't eaten anything. He was still a little hungry, but he couldn't eat the food on the table. He had to drink first, which was a trick. But this was not the first time that Feng Sizhe had done this. Although he didn't know that the cadres here would force him to drink, he always had fresh medical glucose in his car out of habit of protecting his body. Whenever he encountered something unknown and didn't know when to eat, he would drink a few bottles in the car.

Just now, after the meeting, Feng Sizhe drank two bottles of glucose handed to him by Chen Guangming. He was not very hungry at this moment. Having something in the stomach is naturally much better than being empty.

"Oh, the comrades from Tongda City are really enthusiastic, but my alcohol tolerance is limited, so I just drink a little casually. Comrades who can drink can do the same as Guoyang and drink more to act more heroic, haha." Seeing Mou Guoyang drinking like this right from the start, Luo Hao guessed that the wine was not good, so he gave up the fight right away.

As the only provincial standing committee member in the field, Luo Hao said this, and naturally no one dared to force him to drink. But it was different when it came to Feng Sizhe. Although he was now the secretary of the municipal party committee of Tongda City, he had just been promoted, and everyone was not very familiar with him. In such an occasion, when he had not yet exercised the power of the secretary, everyone was naturally not afraid of him. Moreover, there was Mou Guoyang, the local snake, who started to target him. Naturally, other Gansu people also had to follow up and prepare to force Feng Sizhe to drink.

"I can't drink either. I think I'd be as good as Secretary Luo." Mayor Ru Honghai had suffered a loss once and was afraid of making a fool of himself this time, so he quickly imitated Luo Hao and said something after he finished speaking.

Sure enough, Luo Hao could say this, but Ru Honghai couldn't. "That won't work, Mayor Ru, Secretary Luo is a provincial leader, he cares about the province's major issues, we naturally can't say anything, but you are now the mayor of our Tongda City, you should share the joys and sorrows with your comrades, drinking is one of them, can you quickly integrate into the cadres and masses of our Tongda City, this wine is the first test, if Mayor Ru doesn't drink this wine, it means you look down on our comrades in Tongda City, you don't want to work with us." Liu Xiangang, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was the first to rush out, and the reason why Ru Honghai didn't want to drink was raised to a higher level, and it didn't become that he wanted to be of one mind with the cadres and masses of Tongda City.

"Yes, Mayor Ru must not hurt the feelings of his comrades. Drinking is the best opportunity to strengthen relationships." Mou Guoyang said to Ru Honghai with narrowed eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, Ru Honghai had no choice but to drink. If he didn't drink, it seemed to indicate that he didn't want to be in the same mind and purpose as these cadres in the city, which would be very disadvantageous for his future work. But if he drank, he had experience, and experience told him that his self-proclaimed good alcohol tolerance was actually not enough here, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself again.
