Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Okay, Comrade Deng Lei, go get busy." Feng Sizhe had a smile on his face from beginning to end, without a trace of joy or anger, which was very puzzling. For Deng Lei, he couldn't figure it out. Could it be that Feng Sizhe knew that he would come and the purpose of his coming? If so, he was too amazing.

On the way back to the Municipal Government from the Municipal Party Committee, Deng Lei, who was confused, called Ren Tianfang and reported what had just happened to Feng Sizhe.

Ren Tianfang, who knew Feng Sizhe better, laughed after hearing this. "Well, Comrade Deng Lei, you did a great job. It seems that your Secretary Feng has thought of everything a long time ago. This young man is amazing. You have the opportunity to work with him. You must learn well."

Although he didn't know what Ren Tianfang meant, Deng Lei still felt that he had done a good job, so he had no worries. "Yes, I will definitely learn from Secretary Feng."

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

In the office of the municipal party secretary, Feng Sizhe was listening to the work report of Hu Hai, executive deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Feng Sizhe still had an impression of Hu Hai. As the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, his voice in public security was second only to that of Liu Xiangang, the member of the Municipal Party Committee, the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee and the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Perhaps because there cannot be two tigers in one mountain, his relationship with Liu Xiangang was not very good. Therefore, Feng Sizhe had always been trying to win over Hu Hai. After several work contacts, Feng Sizhe kept sending goodwill signals, and the other party finally made a move and took the initiative to report to him.

"Secretary Feng, the joint crackdown on small coal mines by the municipal party committee and government was very successful. More than 200 coal mines have been shut down. However, during this period of time, some people have reported that they are making a comeback. Some former coal mine owners have begun to hire coal workers privately and are preparing to resume their old business. What do you think we should do?" Hu Hai said respectfully as he stood in front of Feng Sizhe.

Hu Hai himself is a person who is extremely cautious and well-planned in doing things. He is careful in doing things and will not express his opinions easily, but once he is ready to do something, he will definitely go all out. It is precisely because of his character that he can sit firmly in the position of Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau in Tongda City, where the Gansu clique is the leader. Although he is not a member of the Gansu clique, he can actually see his ability.

Listening to Hu Hai's report, Feng Sizhe knew very well that it was not the boss of the small coal mine who wanted to make a comeback, but the Gan faction began to support them to make a comeback. It seemed that the Gan faction wanted to attack from multiple sides to create chaos for themselves. The purpose was nothing more than buying time for Ru Honghai and Yang Chao to submit the documents. But what they didn't expect was that Feng Sizhe had no intention of stopping Ru Honghai at all, because he knew the result, that is, this document would be useless even if it was approved by the province. As long as it was sent to the central government, it would sink into the sea and there would be no results. Gan Hao's move was a bad one.

Well, since they want to lead him by the nose, he should pretend to be bothered by these trivial matters. This will reassure the other party and make the so-called one-month transition period pass faster.

"Okay, Director Hu's reconnaissance work is still very effective. I wonder how much time you will have to be confident that you can catch all these small coal mines that are preparing to open?" Feng Sizhe looked at Hu Hai and said with a smile.

"Half a month should be enough." Hu Hai thought about it and answered seriously.

"Well, I'll give you twenty days. After twenty days, I'll close the net completely. I think there shouldn't be any problem."

"No problem, but should this matter be reported to Secretary Liu, or should it be directly handled by Secretary Feng?" Hu Hai asked tentatively. For him, the time was enough, but he had no idea whether Liu Xiangang or Feng Sizhe should be in charge of this operation.

Hearing this question, Feng Sizhe just laughed and said, "I think you should just report to me directly. But you should also say hello to Comrade Liu Xiangang. I think he will definitely support you with all his strength. If you don't believe me, you can go and give it a try."

Feng Sizhe said these words with full confidence. In fact, he was quite confident. Although he knew that Liu Xiangang would not be able to fully support his work, he would definitely support him at this stage because they were eager to focus their attention on other events. Only in this way would they have time to do what they thought was possible, such as reporting to the central government on the issue of revoking 18 coal mining licenses.

Since Feng Sizhe said so, Hu Hai could only nod his head in agreement. Then, with a somewhat uncertain attitude, Hu Hai reported the matter to Liu Xiangang. To his surprise, just as Feng Sizhe had expected, Liu Xiangang really gave his full support and kept telling Hu Hai that it was really appropriate for Secretary Feng to preside over this matter.

The fact that Feng Sizhe was trying to revive the small coal mines was soon known to Gan Hao who was in charge of the Tongda City. He was very happy. At this critical moment, it was a good thing that Feng Sizhe was not focusing on the 18 coal mining licenses. As for the life and death of those small coal mines who were going to resume their old business, what did it have to do with him?

After learning about Feng Sizhe's current work tasks, Gan Hao immediately urged Mou Guoyang and Yang Chao to speed up their contact with Ru Honghai, so as to make a decision opposing the central government's cancellation of 18 coal mining licenses as soon as possible.

Under Gan Hao's constant urging, the documents were finally completed a few days later. Then, Gan Hao personally went to the Shanxi Provincial Committee with these documents. Wei Zhongxian and his men would naturally warmly welcome the Gan family prince to the province. As for the specific details, I will not go into them here. What is worth mentioning is Ru Honghai's attitude towards Deng Lei.

Ever since Ru Honghai received the call from Ren Tianfang, he was very unhappy. In his opinion, this was a sign of Deng Lei's betrayal, telling on him behind his back. Therefore, he had been thinking about teaching him a lesson and letting him know how powerful he was.

On this day, he really caught something wrong, that is, Deng Lei did not sign a document that he should have signed due to negligence. This was a small matter, and leaders are also human beings, and they often forget things, but Ru Honghai did make a fuss about it.

First, without informing Deng Lei, he convened a mayor's office meeting of the municipal government. Then, in front of several deputy mayors and the mayor's assistant, he severely reprimanded Deng Lei, and then ordered him to write a self-criticism. This incident caused a very bad impact within the municipal government.

Most of the staff of the municipal government knew that Deng Lei had always had a good relationship with Ru Honghai. On many issues, both sides could reach an agreement as quickly as possible and work together. Because of this incident, many ordinary cadres in the municipal government approached Deng Lei, because they knew that their level was far from attracting the attention of the mayor, so they chose to show their loyalty to Deng Lei. But now that the incident happened, many people had to stop and wait and see.

Since being publicly criticized by Ru Honghai, no one has come to report to him for three consecutive days, which makes Deng Lei very upset. He can't understand why the result has become so fast when he and Ru Honghai are supposed to be on the same front? Why is this? Is it because of the fact that he reported to Director Ren Tianfang? If it is because of this, then Ru Honghai is too intolerant.

Deng Lei was confused and very worried when he received a call from Feng Sizhe, the municipal party secretary.

"Mayor Deng? I'm Feng Sizhe. If you are free, please come over to my place." Feng Sizhe's friendly voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

About twenty minutes later, Deng Lei appeared from the municipal government to the municipal party committee building and the office of the municipal party committee secretary.

Looking at Deng Lei, Feng Sizhe said with a smile, "Please take a seat, Comrade Deng Lei."

Deng Lei didn't know what the other person meant. He sat opposite Feng Sizhe with full of suspicion. He didn't say much. He just wanted to listen to what the other person said so that he could respond better.

In fact, Deng Lei still admired and respected Feng Sizhe, but he knew that he was a member of the Qin faction, and Feng Sizhe was not, so he tried to keep a distance from him. Even though Director Ren Tianfang said that if there was anything, he could report to Feng Sizhe and listen to him, but Deng Lei still didn't do it. In his bones, he was still quite upright. In his opinion, he should keep a distance from Feng Sizhe. Only in this way can he be worthy of the Qin faction and the chiefs and leaders who trained him.

Deng Lei, who originally wanted to pretend to be indifferent or even apathetic in front of Feng Sizhe, couldn't help but give up his calmness and became impulsive after reading the page of information handed over by Feng Sizhe.

"Secretary Feng, I didn't do any of this. Someone is wrongly accusing me." Looking at the document, Deng Lei jumped up.

"Don't be anxious or nervous. I know someone is wrongly accusing you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have shown you these things." Feng Sizhe slowly put away the materials and then looked at Deng Lei calmly. "Although you didn't do this, you did fall into someone else's trap, so you are more or less responsible for this matter, don't you think?"

"Yes, Secretary Feng, I fell into someone's trap accidentally. But if I gave such an order to the Municipal Finance Bureau, don't say that I don't have this power. Even if I do, people still have to obey. Besides, I signed this document, but at the same time I also wrote my signature at the bottom of the document for Mayor Ru Honghai to review. But why is it gone here?" Deng Lei looked very confused.
