Rebirth of the Rising Sun

When he first heard the news, he sighed for a while, thinking that it might be difficult for him to drink this wine today. But he didn't expect that Feng Sizhe would send him two boxes today, two boxes contain sixteen bottles, which is a big gift.

"This, this is a little too much for me." After seeing what kind of wine it was, Li Pwei said a little embarrassedly.

"Not much, not much. As the saying goes, a good sword goes with a hero. Although it is a peaceful age now, Commander Li, who has made contributions to the country, deserves two boxes of good wine. Besides, this is what my grandfather meant. After my grandfather knew that I was going to work in Tongda City, he asked me to bring these two boxes of wine. In fact, although these are specially for the leaders to drink, my grandfather doesn't have much in stock. But he still asked me to bring two boxes, saying that they were his personal gifts to the heroes of the Republic." Feng Sizhe said with a look as if Li Pwei deserved the wine, and of course he praised his grandfather a little in his words.

When Li Pwei heard that this was what General Zhao meant, he became even more horrified. "What? Director Zhao also knows me?"

"Haha, of course I know. Vietnam War hero, Weizang warrior, flood fighting hero, which one of these won't make my grandfather remember you." Seeing that Li Pwei was indeed very excited, Feng Sizhe took the opportunity to tell him some of the information he knew about the other party.

"Ah." Hearing that Feng Sizhe really knew him very well, and that he knew some of his past and could even tell them about it, he was also excited.

As mentioned before, Li Pwei has been in Tongda City for three years, but during these three years no one has mentioned his past to him, as if the Li Pwei who had made those achievements in the past was not himself at all. Slowly, he had forgotten about it. Now, after hearing these things from Feng Sizhe again, it would be a lie to say that he was not excited.

"Haha, Commander Li, you don't have to be so excited. I know you may be pessimistic sometimes, but think about it, you have only been in Tongda City for three years, it is not time for promotion yet. Besides, you are only 36 years old, which is already very young. In the words of my grandfather, you are the young and vigorous faction in the motherland's army. The future of the Republic's army will still be handed over to people like you."

"What? Is this true?" Li Pwei was so excited. He really couldn't believe that General Zhao, who had never met him, could understand him so well and still pay attention to him. He always thought that he was a nobody, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. The members of the Military Commission and the director of the General Political Department are paying attention to him. This fully shows that he is capable and has a future. More importantly, his life goals are hopeful to be achieved.

Seeing Li Pwei's excitement, Feng Sizhe laughed, "What? Commander Li, don't you want me to sit down first?"

"Oh, take a seat, take a seat, Secretary Feng, please take a seat." Li Pwei then remembered that he had been talking and had not offered his seat to anyone, so he patted his head and asked Feng Sizhe to take a seat immediately, and he even sat in the seat of honor.

Feng Sizhe was not polite either. In terms of rank, he was higher than Li Pengwei, so there was nothing wrong with him sitting in the seat of honor.

"Secretary Feng, I wonder if Director Zhao has any instructions for my current work?" After Li Pwei sat down, he did not forget to ask Feng Sizhe tentatively.

Hearing what Li Pwei said, Feng Sizhe just laughed. This was really a person who would not show his eagle until he saw the rabbit. He knew that the other party still did not believe him. Although he was indeed General Zhao's grandson, no one could say whether General Zhao really said these words. It was hard to guarantee that Feng Sizhe did not say these words in order to win over Li Pwei. If so, then Li Pwei simply believed it and stood with Feng Sizhe. That was really a reckless behavior.

Feng Sizhe had thought about this before. If people would believe him just because of what he said and the great achievements of Li Pwei in the past, it would mean that he was not scheming and such a person could not take on too much responsibility. Even if he was in a high position one day, he could not necessarily do anything great. On the contrary, if Li Pwei doubted what he said, it would really prove that he was a scheming person and such a person could take on greater responsibilities.

Although he admired Li Pwei's scheming in his heart, he did not forget to criticize him. "Well, instructions? Commander Li means that you doubt that what I just said is not true?"

"No, no." Li Pwei kept waving his hands back and forth, but he didn't say anything else. It was obvious that this was what he meant.

Knowing that for some people, you have to show some real stuff, and for Li Pwei, Feng Sizhe did think that this is a talent, and he should help him if he has the chance, so he said, "Okay, since Commander Li must listen to the chief's instructions, then I will let you listen now."

After Feng Sizhe finished saying this, he took out his cell phone from his arms and dialed a number.

"Hello, Uncle Li, I'm Xiaozhe... Ah, is my grandpa free now?... Okay, yes, I want to talk to him." After Feng Sizhe finished speaking, he turned his head to glance at Li Pwei, and found that the man was listening attentively, so he laughed again.

"Grandpa, this is Zhe'er... Yes, I'm with Comrade Li Pwei now. I conveyed your previous evaluation of him, but he also wanted to hear your further instructions... Yes, why don't you give him instructions in person." Feng Sizhe handed the phone to Li Pengwei beside him after he finished speaking, "My grandpa wants to talk to you in person."

"Oh." Li Pwei took the phone with a trembling hand, and said respectfully, "Hello, Director Zhao."

"Is this Colonel Pengwei? Hello, I'm Zhao Mingyuan."

The loud voice on the other end of the phone made Li Pwei's ears buzz, but he was still very happy and excited and said, "Yes, Director Zhao, hello, I am Li Pwei."

"Well, regarding your matter, I have read your file. You have quite a lot of experience, and can be considered a tested military cadre. Very good. I hope you can continue to work hard and do your job well. At the same time, you must strengthen your studies. There will be heavier burdens on you in the future, so you must be prepared in advance." Zhao Mingyuan's words were very direct. He said right away that Li Pwei would be given heavy responsibilities in the future.

The pressure means promotion and more important positions, which Li Pwei is very clear about. "Yes, I will strengthen my studies and strive to make more contributions to the army in the future."

"Very good. At the same time, you must unite with your comrades. Remember that a qualified soldier must not be afraid of any pressure, be brave enough to fight against all illegal acts, and fight for life to safeguard the sovereignty of the country and the rights of the people. Do you understand?" Zhao Mingyuan's voice was so loud that even Feng Sizhe, who was standing by, heard it. Hearing his grandfather's words, Feng Sizhe secretly admired him. His grandfather was really amazing. Just a few words were equivalent to pointing out the direction for Li Pwei, telling him to have a good relationship with him and not to be afraid of the pressure from the Gan faction.

"I understand. Please rest assured, Chief." Encouraged by Zhao Mingyuan, Li Pwei's face became much rosier. At this moment, he had a new goal to strive for, and he knew what to do next.

Zhao Mingyuan hung up the phone, and Li Pwei respectfully returned the phone to Feng Sizhe, "Secretary Feng, I won't say anything. I will do whatever you say from now on."

"Haha, it doesn't matter who says it. The key is that you have to analyze who is right. If I give you the wrong order, you also have the right not to execute it, do you understand?" Feng Sizhe didn't want a person who had no opinions and only listened to him. He needed a good military cadre who had a heart of justice and did not waver in his mentality at critical moments.

"Got it." Li Pwei nodded. He was very moved by Feng Sizhe's words. Think about it, Feng Sizhe could have said nothing at this time, but he still gave him sovereignty, which was full respect. Facing such a city party secretary who respected and understood him, what else could he say? How should he repay him? Suddenly, when he talked about repaying, he thought of some information about Tongda City that he had sorted out. Now was the time to bring it out. People had shown so much sincerity. If he did not take any action, it would be untrue.

Immediately, Li Pwei said to Feng Sizhe, "Wait a moment", then he turned and went into the study. After a while, he took out a pile of information and said to Feng Sizhe, "This is the relevant information about Tongda City that I sorted out. I believe it will be helpful for Secretary Feng to govern Tongda City."

Feng Sizhe originally wanted to learn some information from the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party had already been prepared and even had text. This was really great, and it fully demonstrated that Li Pwei was indeed a thoughtful person.

The next time, Feng Sizhe was looking through the materials while Li Pwei was talking. The two chatted like this. When they didn't understand something, Feng Sizhe would ask questions and Li Pwei would explain it. When they didn't understand something, Li Pwei would just take out his phone and ask others. Li Pwei had a wide network of contacts, and often the problem would be clarified after a few calls.

Time passed little by little, and the whole afternoon went by in a flash. It was not until after five o'clock in the afternoon that Feng Sizhe had a basic understanding of the things recorded in the materials. Then Feng Sizhe and Li Pwei noticed that it seemed that no one had eaten lunch, and the dishes on the table had already gone cold.
