Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Yes, I will arrange someone to do it right away." Seeing that Feng Sizhe attached great importance to this matter, Duan Hewei nodded quickly. Although it was the Duan family who spoke for him to come to Tongda City to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, the most crucial thing was that Feng Sizhe agreed to give him this precious position. So he was very grateful to Feng Sizhe in his heart. As the other party only had such a small request, he would of course try his best to satisfy it if he could.

After talking with Duan Hewei, Feng Sizhe thought about it and decided to call Li Pwei, asking him to pay close attention to the opinions of the Gansu people on the candidate for the director of the Municipal Statistics Bureau, and also to try his best to maintain good relations with the Gansu people in case of any need.

Duan Hewei's work efficiency was still very fast. With Feng Sizhe's attention, the results were reported in just three days. It could be that Xu Yuquan thought he was from the Gansu faction, so he was bolder, or it could be that Gansu faction members were like this, and they didn't think anything would go wrong in Tongda City, so the work of investigating and collecting evidence was easy to do, and it didn't take long for the matter to be clear.

"Secretary Feng, after our investigation, we found that the reporting materials are all true. Xu Yuquan is indeed very bold. Relying on the fact that he is a person trusted by Mou Guoyang, he actually opened four small coal mines privately with others. These small coal mines have all had different safety problems, and a total of seven lives have been lost. Although these incidents were not directly caused by Xu Yuquan, they are inextricably linked to him. Without his protection, these small coal mines would not have existed, and these safety accidents would not have happened." Duan Hewei looked at Feng Sizhe and said solemnly.

A deputy secretary-general of a municipal party committee has such courage to do such things. It can be seen from this that those with more power than him will do what they want. If we say that the problems with the municipal government must be solved, if we don't solve them, it means ignoring the safety of the people, especially the safety of the miners, which will not be guaranteed at the most basic level.

"So it's true. Minister Duan, what do you think we should do now?" Feng Sizhe did not expect the outcome of the matter to be so serious. It seems that the question is whether Xu Yuquan can be the director of the Statistics Bureau, but whether he can still stay in his current position.

"Well... Secretary Feng, I'm only the Minister of Organization, not the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, so it's hard for me to say." Duan Yunpeng looked embarrassed.

"What's there to be afraid of? I asked you to say it, so just say it." Feng Sizhe looked as if to say it boldly, "I won't blame you even if you are wrong."

"Okay, in that case, let me tell you what I think. I think Xu Yuquan is not qualified to be the director of the Statistics Bureau, or it is a mistake in our work. Knowing that this cadre has such serious problems, we still want to use him, which means we are also making a mistake." Duan Yunpeng had actually thought about this matter before, but he was a very cautious person and did not want to think about things too much and beyond his authority. Now that Feng Sizhe insisted that he say it, he finally spoke his mind.

"Well, what Minister Duan said makes sense. I think so too. Comrade Xu Yuquan is indeed not suitable to be the director of the Statistics Bureau. Let me think about it. If it doesn't work, I will talk to Comrade Mou Guoyang first. Maybe he doesn't know some things." Feng Sizhe thought about it and prepared to confront Mou Guoyang. If he wanted Chen Buyun to take the position this time, he must have the support of the Gansu faction, otherwise it would be difficult to work, unless Feng Sizhe also used the secretary's veto power, but this was impossible. Once this vote was used, it would be a considerable risk. Isn't Che Zaichao a lesson learned from the past?

Feng Sizhe thought about it again and again for several days and even called Li Pwei privately. When he learned that the Gansu people had no objection to Xu Yuquan being the director of the Statistics Bureau, he knew that he had to act quickly. Otherwise, once the Gansu people united to make a decision, things would be difficult to handle.

In order to gain control of the Statistics Bureau, Feng Sizhe decided to make a deal with Mou Guoyang. Although this deal now seems to violate some regulations, it is still the right decision considering the overall situation.

A phone call was made to Mou Guoyang, saying that someone wanted to talk to him about something. A few minutes later, Mou Guoyang appeared in Feng Sizhe's office.

From Mou Guoyang's expression, it can be seen that the other party is not very willing. But there is really no way, because Feng Sizhe is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he is the deputy secretary. If the secretary wants to talk to the deputy secretary, the deputy secretary has no reason to refuse.

"Secretary Mou is here, please take a seat." Feng Sizhe lowered his head and was reviewing some documents. He spoke to Mou Guoyang without looking like he was in a hurry to talk.

Mou Guoyang arrived so quickly, but Feng Sizhe did not talk about the matter right away, which made him very angry. He thought, you are just a municipal party secretary, why are you putting on airs in front of me? In terms of age, I can be your uncle, why are you still putting on airs in front of me?

But no matter how much he thought about it, he would never say it out loud. The only thing Mou Guoyang could do was sit on the reception chair and drink tea. Fortunately, Feng Sizhe brewed him the best Dahongpao tea. This tea is good, but it is hard to buy with money. He took this opportunity to taste it.

More than 20 minutes had passed, and Mou Guoyang had already drunk three cups of tea. He was getting a little impatient, and Feng Sizhe finally raised his head, as if he had just finished reading a document and was about to discuss business. "Secretary Mou, the director of the Municipal Statistics Bureau, Comrade Sun Yue, passed away in a car accident. It's impossible for a city's Statistics Bureau to be without a director. What do you think?"

Upon hearing about this matter, Mou Guoyang said casually, "Oh, regarding this matter, I am considering Comrade Xu Yuquan, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. This comrade has some work ability and has worked in the Municipal Party Committee for many years. He also has a certain grasp of the overall situation. In addition, he is a cadre at the level of a director. Letting him go to the Statistics Bureau as the director is also a lateral transfer, which is a very normal thing."

There are two reasons why Mou Guoyang chose Xu Yuquan. First, they have a good personal relationship. Xu Yuquan has always been trying to curry favor with Mou Guoyang, and he has given him many gifts over the years. Faced with such a cadre who listens to him, Mou Guoyang will certainly arrange a good position for him. Originally, he thought that if he could become the secretary of the municipal party committee or the mayor, the Gansu people would be promoted. At that time, the current organization minister might become the deputy secretary, and the current municipal party secretary Gao Renyi might become the municipal organization minister. In this way, Xu Yuquan could be considered to be the secretary general of the municipal party committee and thus enter the municipal standing committee. However, the appearance of Feng Sizhe and Ru Honghai did break this dream. It was obvious that Feng Sizhe and Ru Honghai had just arrived, and there was no possibility of transfer for a while. In that case, Xu Yuquan would be embarrassed to stay in the position of deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee, and it was not very important at the same time. In this way, Mou Guoyang considered whether to let Xu Yuquan be the director of the Statistics Bureau first and take charge of one side first, and this was his second consideration.

Mou Guoyang was considering that the Statistics Bureau was a key position for Tongda City, and Feng Sizhe would definitely fight for such a position and would have ideas. If the Gan family reported a person with weak strength, Feng Sizhe would inevitably reject him. In this way, he considered letting Xu Yuquan go to the Statistics Bureau as a horizontal transfer. He believed that Feng Sizhe would not find a more suitable candidate than Xu Yuquan in terms of qualifications and level. So he told Duan Hewei what he meant, but he didn't expect that because he was too high-profile in doing things, he attracted the jealousy of some of Xu Yuquan's secret enemies, so there were those reports.

Hearing Mou Guoyang still speaking well of Xu Yuquan in front of him, Feng Sizhe knew that the other party was still unaware of the fact that the Organization Department secretly investigated Xu Yuquan's situation. Okay, it's good that you don't know. If you don't know, I can kill you by surprise.

"Oh, this is what Secretary Mou meant." Feng Sizhe nodded and said.

"Yes, what's the matter? Could it be that Secretary Feng has different opinions and ideas? Xu Yuquan is very suitable in terms of qualifications and level. I'm afraid we won't find anyone more suitable than him in Tongda City for a while." Mou Guoyang didn't believe that Feng Sizhe would have any candidate more suitable than Xu Yuquan.

Of course Feng Sizhe didn't have any more suitable candidates. If he did, why would he need to talk to Mou Guoyang? He could just say it directly and let the Organization Department investigate. Why would he go through so much trouble and do so much work in secret?

"No, no." Feng Sizhe waved his hands, as if he had no one more suitable than Xu Yuquan.

Hearing Feng Sizhe say no, Mou Guoyang smiled and thought to himself, I guess you don’t have it either.

Mou Guoyang was just happy for a few seconds, and then Feng Sizhe said with an embarrassed look, "But, Director Duan of the Organization Department reported to me that they received a lot of letters of complaint when they were investigating Comrade Xu Yuquan's situation. Look at this..."

"This is normal. After serving as an official for so many years, it is inevitable that you will offend others. Therefore, when the Organization Department examines a cadre, it will receive a lot of negative information about the cadre. Of course, this is all done by villains and is caused by jealousy. Don't take it seriously. As long as the person takes office, these letters will no longer appear." Mou Guoyang did not take the fact that the person being examined would receive a letter of complaint seriously. He was the head of the Municipal Organization Department before he became the deputy secretary. He had also experienced this kind of thing, so he knew a lot of things and thought it was just a routine, so he didn't think much about it.
