Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Regardless of whether it was an explanation or a description of the situation, Gan Hao simply stated that his father could not interfere in Feng Sizhe's affairs for the time being.

In fact, after talking for such a long time, Gan Hao still didn't tell the real reason, which was that the reason his father didn't take action was because Bao Jingguo was keeping a close eye on the matter. He was the prime minister and he was just the vice premier, so Gan Qixian had never stood up to speak. It was not that he didn't want to speak, but he was not sure. He had been waiting for an excuse to knock Feng Sizhe down in one fell swoop. It would be a very embarrassing thing for a vice premier to target a municipal party secretary and fail to do anything to him.

Gan Hao classified his father's inability to take action as not wanting to bully the weak. This kind of face-saving words can only deceive three-year-old children. Who can be a simple person to be the leader of a province and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee? Everyone knows that Vice Premier Gan also has his difficulties, but how difficult it is, these people can only guess. Now listening to Gan Hao's lecture to himself and others, saying that he and others can't do anything to Feng Sizhe, everyone is also suffering, because up to now, Feng Sizhe has taken the position of Secretary of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee, and he has never come to the province to report on anything, so even if they want to intervene, they can't find a suitable reason. It's not possible for you to point fingers when others are still doing well, right?

The meal was not very harmonious, or perhaps no one talked much because they couldn't find a suitable solution for the time being.

After dinner, Gan Hao took a bus to Tongda City. This time, Tongda City was his ultimate goal. He wanted to come here to see how rampant Feng Sizhe was here.

At the Tongda City highway intersection, there were several cars with ordinary license plates waiting here to secretly welcome Gan Hao. Sitting in these cars were the leaders of the Gan faction in Tongda City, including the city party committee deputy secretary Mou Guoyang, discipline inspection committee secretary Hong Tao, political and legal committee secretary Liu Xiangang, and organization minister Duan Hewei.

In a room in a hotel in Tongda City, Gan Hao heard reports from several people and learned about everything that had happened in Tongda City in recent times.

Gan Hao listened to Mou Guoyang's report and learned about the first meeting of the Standing Committee. He frowned and asked, "So Wang Shiguang, Wang Lixue, and Li Pwei have all joined Feng Sizhe, right?"

"No, no, Wang Shiguang and Wang Lixue only supported Feng Sizhe that time. I think they just wanted to show their faces in front of the State Council, so they signed those documents. From our observation, they don't have close contacts with Feng Sizhe, especially during this period. There is no sign of any contact between them. On the contrary, the commander of the military sub-district, Li Pwei, has been in close contact with Feng Sizhe in recent days. The two often contact each other by phone, and occasionally drink and meet together." Mou Guoyang explained hurriedly.

"Well, Li Pwei? Didn't he not participate in these things before? Then why did he have such an attitude after Feng Sizhe came?" Gan Hao said with some confusion.

If Wang Shiguang and Wang Lixue had contacted Feng Sizhe, he could understand it, because these two people belonged to the local political faction. It was normal for them to turn to the municipal party secretary in order to get a better job or climb up. But Li Pwei was a military man. Why did he want to get close to Feng Sizhe? What benefits would there be in getting close to him? You have to know that the promotion and reuse of military leaders is not decided by the local municipal party secretary. Even the provincial government’s authority is not very large. That is the problem of the Central Military Commission.

"This... this may be because of Secretary Feng's grandfather." Seeing that Gan Shao was so stupid that he couldn't even think of such a simple question, Mou Guoyang had to remind him.

Mou Guoyang said this, and Gan Hao finally woke up from his dream. Yes, I'm afraid that this is really the reason. Because Feng Sizhe has a grandfather who is a member of the Central Military Commission, it is normal for Li Pwei to join him. "I see, haha, since Li Pwei wants to be promoted so much, I'll just talk to him. It's just the military, and my Gan family has people there, so it won't be a big problem to promote him one level later." Thinking that his father also knew several powerful generals in the military, and they had good relationships, there shouldn't be too many problems if it was just to promote a colonel, so he nodded and continued, "Okay, I'll talk to him personally about Li Pwei's matter. Compared with Wang Shiguang and Wang Lixue who haven't made a choice yet, the task of winning them over will be handed over to you, Secretary Mou, even if it means sacrificing a little of your interests, you have to bring these two people over. Since Feng Sizhe either reports to the Central Committee or resolves it through the Tongda Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, we will have an absolute advantage in the Standing Committee. Only in this way can we prevent Feng Sizhe from making the first decision that is unfavorable to the Gan faction or to the family. I think you should understand what I mean."

"Mr. Gan, that's a good idea. Let's do it right away." In fact, Mou Guoyang had long thought about winning over Wang Lixue or Wang Shiguang. Even if only one of them came, the Gan faction would account for more than half of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee, and they would have absolute control. Even if Feng Sizhe was the municipal party secretary, some of his decisions would be difficult to pass the municipal party committee's resolutions, and as long as they failed to pass, he would not be able to report to the central government. In this case, even if Feng Sizhe did not want to go through the province and wanted to report across levels, it would probably not work.

Since Mou Guoyang knew this, why didn't he do it? The reason is very simple, that is, he always hoped that the Gan family would figure it out first. The current rules of Tongda City have long been set. What should be done, who will share the benefits, who will share them, and how much will be shared, all have formed certain rules. In this case, if someone comes in, it is inevitable that a piece of the cake in the mouth will be spit out. Then from whose mouth will this piece of cake be shared? This is a problem. I thought that after the Gan family figured it out, the Gan family would take the initiative to bear this cost. But now it seems that although Gan Shao has figured it out, he does not intend to give others food from his own land. Instead, he asked Mou Guoyang and others to take out some of their own food and share it with others. What can they do about this?

It was clearly something that couldn't be done, but now it was impossible to say no. Once it was said no, Gan Hao would definitely be angry. He decided to ask for help. Anyway, the interests of the city would be affected, and it would not only be himself who would suffer, but the Gan family would be the biggest loser. He believed that after a long time, the Gan family would definitely understand. So Mou Guoyang agreed verbally, but he didn't have to pay in actual action.

Seeing that Mou Guoyang agreed, Gan Hao was very happy. He thought that these people had figured it out, so he said excitedly, "Well, then we will act separately. You can make an appointment for me right away. I want to meet Li Pwei tonight."

That night, Gan Hao met Li Pwei in the most luxurious Hongri Hotel in Tongda City.

Li Pwei thought about Gan Hao's meeting and finally agreed. He did not tell Feng Sizhe first, but decided to tell Feng Sizhe about the situation after he went there. It can be said that since he talked to General Zhao Mingyuan on the phone through Feng Sizhe, Li Pwei has been determined to follow Feng Sizhe. He once carefully studied Feng Sizhe's history of success. Although he could not see anything from the archives, he could feel that Feng Sizhe was definitely not a simple person, otherwise he would not have become the secretary of the municipal party committee at the age of 33. Such a young cadre has unlimited future prospects. In contrast, Gan Qixian will retire in two years, and once a person retires, his power and voice will naturally be greatly discounted. He is very clear about this and analyzed that only by following Feng Sizhe can he last longer.

Of course, this is just a simple truth, but in the officialdom, such a simple truth is not something that everyone can see through. For example, among the Gan faction, are there no people who have thought about this clearly? The answer is of course there are, but they consider that they are already Gan faction members, whether they will be accepted by Feng Sizhe, whether the Gan faction members will cause trouble for them in return, and whether they can be valued by Feng Sizhe. These are all problems, and these problems will directly affect the choices of these people. This is why some people cannot do it even if they see through it, while Li Pwei, who has no faction, can make a calm choice.

In the luxurious private room of Hongri Hotel, Gan Hao enthusiastically shook hands with Li Pwei. "Commander Li is also young and promising. He has become the commander of the city military region at the age of more than 30. Haha, it's a cause for celebration."

"Mr. Gan, you are too polite. This is all the result of the country's cultivation, the people's trust, and the organization's training. My personal efforts seem insignificant." Li Pwei said with a flattered look.

Li Pwei's answer made Gan Hao laugh. "Commander Li is too modest. In my opinion, training and trust are secondary. The most important thing is the latter, the organization's training. And what is an organization? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a certain person. I wonder if Commander Li agrees with this statement?"

Gan Hao was right. Although the organization represents a department or a collective, often the power of an individual is above that of the organization. For example, in a bureau, the director can talk to you on behalf of the organization at any time. In a city, the secretary of the municipal party committee can also talk to you on behalf of the organization. Therefore, the issue of organization itself is a difficult question to answer and a difficult phenomenon to explain.
