Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Mou Guoyang's words of sowing discord soon took effect. Gan Fu actually called Gan Hao for his brother-in-law's affairs and said a lot of things that were unfavorable to Feng Sizhe. He also said that this time it was clearly Feng Sizhe who was actively looking for faults in the Gan family. He probably saw that the Gan family is not as good as before, especially because Gan Qixian wanted to step down.

Gan Hao's life is very difficult now. He was played a trick by Feng Sizhe before, which caused him to have a big financial hole. Now his creditors often ask for repayment. Then his interests in the Tongda City Coal Mine were infringed. He could get considerable profits from there every month, but now because of the entry of five coal mining companies represented by Duan Yunpeng and Gu Rongxian, his income is getting less and less. Now when he heard that Feng Sizhe dared to touch Gan's relatives, he became angry immediately. Without saying a word, he immediately said that he would launch an effective counterattack and told his cousin not to worry.

After Gan Hao hung up the phone with Gan Fu, he called Mou Guoyang and told him to quickly gather Gan's forces to deal with Feng Sizhe. At this moment, Gan Hao was not paying attention to the situation in the city, so he didn't know that Mou Guoyang, whom he thought was his confidant, had actually surrendered to Gan.

Mou Guoyang was of course very happy about what Gan Hao said on the phone, and he quickly agreed. Then he called Ru Honghai and told him about this matter, which was of course also what the other party was very happy about.

While Feng Sizhe was dealing with Pei Wei, he also thought that Gan Fu would not give up. After all, they were family and they would definitely do something. As the saying goes, it is the early bird catches the worm. Feng Sizhe was not going to give them more time to operate. He decided to take advantage of the letters of complaint that Hong Tao had taken out and take action against the Tongda City State-owned Coal Mine at the same time.

Of course, the coal mining company run by Gan Fu is still registered as a state-owned coal mine. To conduct an inspection of such an enterprise, the decision of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee must be obtained. For this reason, Feng Sizhe notified the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Guan Haojiang, and asked him to prepare for the Standing Committee meeting.

As soon as Guan Haojiang's notice came, Ru Honghai and Mou Guoyang quickly came together to discuss the matter.

It has been a while since Tongda City held a Standing Committee meeting. Feng Sizhe made decisions on small matters because he was the Party Secretary and held the majority of votes in the Tongda Standing Committee. However, this time, they had to hold a Standing Committee meeting because they were going to conduct an inspection of the state-owned coal mines.

Ru Honghai and Mou Guoyang were determined to win this Standing Committee meeting. When the two were plotting, Ru Honghai spoke first, "Old Mou, this is an opportunity, a great opportunity to suppress Feng Sizhe's authority, we must seize it well."

"Don't worry, Mayor Ru. I have already thought about it. I have also informed Young Master Gan. There will be some action from the provincial side. When the time comes, hehe, I guarantee that Feng Sizhe will not be able to save face." After saying these words, Mou Guoyang still had a sinister smile on his face.

"Okay, then let's wait and see." Seeing Mou Guoyang say this, Ru Honghai was in a good mood. He also wanted to see how Feng Sizhe could still control the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee as before.

Two days later was the day Feng Sizhe had set for the meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. Early in the morning, Li Wei, commander of the military sub-district, suddenly received a call from the provincial military district, saying that the provincial military district was going to hold an important military meeting and asked Commander Li to arrive at the provincial military district before ten o'clock in the morning.

After receiving this notice suddenly, Li Wei naturally did not dare to delay and immediately asked someone to prepare the car. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to call Feng Sizhe to report the matter.

Feng Sizhe was shocked when he heard about Li Wei's sudden departure. He felt that something was wrong. Why didn't the provincial military region hold a meeting earlier or later, but the municipal party committee held a meeting of the Standing Committee? Li Wei was transferred away, and he lost a staunch supporter by his side. This was not a good thing. With Li Wei's sudden departure, he only had five votes left in his hands, including the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Hong Tao, the Executive Vice Mayor Deng Lei, the Organization Minister Duan Hewei, the Propaganda Minister He Wenbao, and the United Front Minister Wang Lixue. Even if he added himself, he would only have six votes, which only reached half of the votes of the Standing Committee. However, this was not impossible. As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he could still make the final decision if the votes of both parties were equal.

Of course, Feng Sizhe didn't know that Deng Lei was forced to support Ru Honghai this time due to pressure from Xie Zongming of the Qin faction, so he did not have five votes, but actually only four.

The Standing Committee officially started at 9:30 in the morning. Mayor Ru Honghai and Deputy Secretary Mou Guoyang arrived at the meeting room very early. They sat opposite each other, both of them with irrepressible smiles. They greeted every member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee who came in, regardless of whether they were on their side or not.

At half past nine, Feng Sizhe walked into the meeting room accompanied by his secretary Chen Guangming. Seeing that everyone except Li Wei had arrived, he nodded and announced the start of the meeting.

He first mentioned that Li Wei could not attend the meeting because of something at the provincial military region, and then talked about the main topics of today's Standing Committee. When he talked about the Tongda State-owned Coal Mine, he looked at Hong Tao, the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Hong Tao took out a stack of information and distributed it to everyone, then said that someone had reported something about the state-owned coal mine in Tongda City. In order to set the record straight, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection decided to work with the Municipal Party Committee's Inspection Office to send a working group to the state-owned coal mine to conduct targeted investigations on some issues.

After Hong Tao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room became a little quiet. In fact, everyone knew that this was Feng Sizhe's move to target the last force of the Gan faction in Tongda City. Previously, because of Feng Sizhe's iron-fisted policies and methods, many of the Gan faction's privileges in Tongda City were removed one after another, and now it seems that only the Tongda City State-owned Coal Mine and other sweet potatoes have not been touched. In fact, everyone also knows that every year the Gan faction will share a lot of benefits from this coal mine. For example, those Gan faction cadres who were taken down one by one in the past, they have made a lot of money from it, but now it seems that only Mou Guoyang, an old man from the Gan faction, still holds a certain share in this coal mine. In other words, this time, Feng Sizhe wants to target the Tongda City State-owned Coal Mine because of Pei Wei, but in fact, he is also targeting Mou Guoyang.

After knowing the result, everyone turned their eyes to Mou Guoyang. As the person involved, they really wanted to see what Mou Guoyang's attitude was.

Mou Guoyang was beyond everyone's expectation. He smiled as if he heard nothing, as if the problem Feng Sizhe just mentioned had nothing to do with him. This made others wonder what was the reason that made Mou Guoyang so calm.

Feng Sizhe certainly felt something was wrong with Mou Guoyang's performance, thinking that Li Wei's transfer today was not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose. To be honest, the relationship between the provincial military region and Feng Sizhe was also good, or it could be said that Feng Sizhe had always had a good relationship with the military, but last time Feng Sizhe accidentally had a conflict with Lu Tiegang's son Lu Xiong and the provincial public security department director Xu Baokun's son Xu Xiaojun. That time Feng Sizhe had Lu Xiong beaten up, which must have caused displeasure in the Lu family, so they did this.

Looking at the empty seat of Li Wei, Feng Sizhe sighed in his heart. This Standing Committee meeting would not go smoothly. The leader just passed by and then everything returned to normal. He had nothing to worry about Li Wei's absence. He had done everything upright, so why should he be afraid of others dealing with him? As long as he did things with a clear conscience, why should he be afraid of how others would view him?

Thinking back to the meeting, Feng Sizhe saw that no one was talking, so he said again: "Okay, now please express your opinions. If there are no other opinions, I think we should let the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Municipal Party Committee's Inspection Office organize a joint investigation team to enter the Tongda State-owned Coal Mine to conduct an investigation."

Previously, the reason why Ru Honghai and Mou Guoyang did not speak was that they were waiting for Feng Sizhe to express his attitude and opinions first, so that as long as he expressed his opinions, they would oppose them, which would better undermine his prestige and authority. Now that they heard that Feng Sizhe had already found out the opinions, the two of them quickly exchanged glances, and then Mayor Ru Honghai first discovered the attitude and opinions.

"Well, I don't think it's necessary to send a working group to the state-owned coal mine. As far as I know, which department has not been reported? Even everyone here has grown up slowly with the accusation letters. If we send a working group to the state-owned coal mine just because of a few accusation letters, it seems unreasonable. This will also make the lower departments think that our municipal party committee does not trust them, which is not conducive to their future work. Besides, this is the only state-owned coal mine in Tongda City. It creates a lot of profits and taxes for our Tongda City every year. Now that it has been reported, should we also try our best to support and understand them? Therefore, I do not agree with the municipal party committee sending a working group to the mine."

After Ru Honghai expressed his clear opposition, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Mou Guoyang, also quickly expressed his opinion, "Well, I support Mayor Ru's opinion. How can we not offend people when doing work now? And if we investigate state-owned coal mines because of a few letters of complaint, it is really unacceptable. I think in line with the saying that if you employ people, trust them, and if you don't trust them, don't employ them, this working group should not be sent down."
