Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Li Qiujuan made this call with one purpose, to ask her son-in-law about the situation of Hong Tao, secretary of the Tongda Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Li Qiujuan knew that her son-in-law was serving as the secretary of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee, so she would naturally pay special attention to the personnel appointments in Tongda City. Not long ago, she saw a report from the Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, saying that Hong Tao, as the secretary of the Tongda Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, had abused his power to make some mistakes, so the Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection decided to remove this person from this position and then investigate his problems thoroughly.

Feng Sizhe was also surprised to hear his mother-in-law suddenly talking about Hong Tao, but after continuing to listen, he understood everything. He immediately said, "Mom, Comrade Wu Guangrong is very clear about Comrade Hong Tao's problems. How about this, why don't you go to him to find out the situation? My personal opinion is that the current situation in Tongda City is inseparable from Comrade Hong Tao's hard work."

"Okay, I understand." Hearing her son-in-law say this, Li Qiujuan of course understood what this meant. Since Feng Sizhe said he didn't want to change, then don't change it. Of course, he also wanted to find Wu Guangrong to understand the situation. There were some things she also had to be aware of.

Sima Lie saw that three days had passed, but there was no news from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that day. He became anxious and called Lu Guodong.

After March next year, Lu Guofan, the chairman of the National People's Congress, will retire, and the next person at the helm of the Lu family will be Lu Guodong. Don't underestimate Lu Guodong, he is the second oldest in the Lu family, nearly ten years younger than his elder brother Lu Guofan, and he has the best development. Now he is the executive vice secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and in March next year, he will directly replace the current Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Gu Pingchuan, and become the new Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

After receiving Sima Lie's call, Lu Guodong said that he would check it out. After all, if he didn't pay special attention to it, the position of secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of a city would not be in his eyes.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Guodong called Sima Lie back. He said, "Sima, please consider the matter of the secretary of the Tongda Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. My opinion is not to change the person for the time being."

"Ah? Chief, why is this?" Sima Lie was very confused. As the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, didn't he even have the power to replace the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection?

"There are many specific reasons. Director Li has already informed us about this matter, and Secretary Gu has also issued instructions. I think we should wait a little longer." Lu Guodong saw that Li Qiujuan, who represented the He family, had intervened in this matter, and that Gu Pingchuan, who was still the secretary, obviously supported Li Qiujuan. For this reason, he did not intend to make any more fuss about this matter. After all, his promotion was imminent, and he did not want to cause any trouble at this time. And for the sake of a deputy department-level municipal discipline inspection secretary, it was even more not worth it.

After hearing what Lu Guodong said, Sima Lie certainly had nothing to say. He had to hang up the phone angrily, then thought for a while and called Xie Zongming back.

The news that Hong Tao was going to be transferred had already spread in the Tongda Municipal Party Committee and Government. When he heard the news, Hong Tao's face changed. He actually knew that he had made some mistakes in the past. Although he corrected them later and took the initiative to confess the problems and handed over all the bribes he received over the years to the organization, he also knew that sooner or later someone would use this matter to make trouble.

As expected, not long after, someone started to make trouble with this. He thought that since the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had reported to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he, as the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, would certainly not be able to escape. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed and even his enthusiasm for work was not very high.

The phone on the table rang, Hong Tao picked it up, and it turned out to be Secretary Feng who wanted to talk to him about something. He thought that Secretary Feng must want to comfort him, so why not go there, maybe he can ask Secretary Feng for help and arrange a good job for him.

In the office of the municipal party secretary, the two of them were smoking and puffing away. As Feng Sizhe's rank increased, he faced more problems, and gradually cigarettes became a must-have item for him to consider.

Sitting opposite Hong Tao, Feng Sizhe smiled at the worried man and said, "What's the matter? Secretary Hong, did you hear anything?"

Seeing Feng Sizhe asking about this topic, Hong Tao did not shy away from it. "Yes, Secretary Feng, I heard about it. I think I will leave Tongda City soon. To be honest, I am a little reluctant. I made some mistakes here before and wasted so much time. Now I have figured it out and want to do something practical, but I have to be transferred. I am really ashamed."

Hearing Hong Tao's emotional voice, Feng Sizhe smiled even more, "Oh, now that you have figured it out and want to do something practical, then stay."

"Stay...what?" When Hong Tao heard Feng Sizhe asking him to stay, he was stunned at first, but then he shook his head. Why wouldn't he want to stay? He also wanted to do more things here to make up for his mistakes. But now it seems that it is not his choice, and he does not have such an opportunity. "Hey, it's not easy to stay."

"How can it be difficult? If I say you should stay, then stay. Go back and work hard, and don't think too much about other things." Feng Sizhe has seen from his recent work that Hong Tao really wants to start a new life, and he will give opportunities to such cadres.

"This... is this true?" Hearing Feng Sizhe say this, Hong Tao became excited. He didn't think that Feng Sizhe would say those words casually.

"Of course it's true. Go back and work hard. There are still problems with the market, and you still need to do a lot of work." Having said this, Feng Sizhe made his meaning clear. Of course, he didn't need to tell him how he had manipulated Hong Tao behind the scenes to keep him.

"Yes." Hearing Feng Sizhe's affirmative voice, Hong Tao knew that he would be fine. He immediately saluted Feng Sizhe with a happy face.

Hong Tao was not transferred, which made Ru Honghai's hope go to waste. He and Mou Guoyang sat there in silence for a long time. Finally, it was Mou Guoyang who spoke first, "It seems that Secretary Feng is also very powerful?"

Of course, when Mou Guoyang said this, he meant to anger Ru Honghai. How could Ru Honghai not understand what Mou Guoyang was thinking? He finally managed to get the other party to join his team, and he would not waste such an opportunity. "Well, we thought too simply about Hong Tao's matter, but it doesn't matter. What's the harm in leaving him alone? Can we also think of ways to deal with other people?"

"Oh, Mayor Ru, what new ideas do you have?" Hearing Ru Honghai say this, Mou Guoyang believed that he must have some new ideas.

"I think we can start with Minister Wang?" Ru Honghai said as if he had already figured everything out.

It is obvious that Hong Tao cannot touch Feng Sizhe's faction, as he has already tried. The Propaganda Minister He Wenbao is Feng Sizhe's direct subordinate, and there is no room for persuasion for such a person. There are also Organization Minister Duan Hewei and Military Sub-district Commander Li Wei, both of whom are very close to Feng Sizhe, and it is also difficult to convince them. In comparison, there is the Municipal United Front Work Minister Wang Lixue. Although this person will support Feng Sizhe at the Standing Committee meeting, he is not very close to Feng Sizhe and others in private. I believe that some solutions may be found from this person.

After hearing what Ru Honghai said, Mou Guoyang nodded and said, "Mayor Ru is right. This Wang Lixue is indeed someone worth winning over."

Before leaving get off work, Wang Lixue suddenly received a call from Mayor Ru Honghai, who said that he wanted to meet with him in the evening to discuss the city's united front work.

Some things were not discussed at the unit, but they were to meet in private. This made Wang Lixue feel that something was wrong. When he thought about what had just happened, there were rumors that Secretary Hong of the Discipline Inspection Commission was going to be transferred, but now it seemed that this was pure fabrication.

Of course, Wang Lixue did not think that Hong Tao's matter was groundless. After all, there is no smoke without fire. I think the provincial party committee should have had this intention before, but I don't know what went wrong in the middle, so the matter did not come true. Looking at the current situation, could it be that Hong Tao's matter is over, and what will happen next on his side?

Since Ru Honghai called, Wang Lixue naturally couldn't refuse, so he agreed. In fact, he also wanted to see what the other party meant.

That night, the two sides met in a private room of a hotel called Kelaiju in Tongda City. However, there was not only Ru Honghai in the room, but also Mou Guoyang, deputy secretary of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee and leader of the Gan faction. However, Wang Lixue did not know at this time that Mou Guoyang had already defected to Ru Honghai and was now a member of the outer circle of the Qin faction.

Seeing Wang Lixue's surprised expression, Ru Honghai felt happy. He guessed that the other party would be surprised. In fact, he needed such an effect. He wanted to tell Wang Lixue that even someone like Mou Guoyang had joined him, so as the Minister of United Front Work, what should you do?

Wang Lixue did think about a lot of things in his mind, of course, he thought more about his son. He was not young anymore, and after this term as the Minister of United Front Work, he would basically retire. He had no more ambitions or further thoughts, so he looked down on fame and fortune in the officialdom. Instead, his son's affairs became a big deal in his mind. Thinking that his son had become a reporter at the National News Agency with the help of Feng Sizhe, it was a very enviable career, and this was of course the result of Feng Sizhe's help. On the contrary, if he had turned to Ru Honghai at this time, Feng Sizhe would definitely be angry. Would he do something bad to his son at that time? He couldn't let his child down again.
