Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Well, since Governor Gao said so, I will speak out my opinion." Feng Sizhe knew that the time had come, so he was not polite and directly spoke out his ideas. "First, Wang Zhenhuai must resign on his own initiative. As for where he goes, it doesn't matter, but it is definitely not appropriate for him to be in the officialdom. Second, all the dirty money Wang Zhenhuai received must be handed over to the city without missing a cent, including those famous calligraphy and paintings. Third, Feng Sizhe proposes that the current Executive Deputy Director of the Merchants Bureau, Su Zonglin, be appointed as the Director, and the Deputy Director of Business, Wang Ruihua, be appointed as the Executive Deputy Director."

Feng Sizhe had his own ideas for mentioning these three points. If the first point is done well, it proves that the first fire he took on after taking office is really burning. If the second point is done well, it is indeed to save the country's economy. Think about it, instead of letting the national property flow away in exchange for Wang Zhenhuai's imprisonment, it is better to let him take out all the money he collected. This will not only enrich the city's finances, but also solve a bed for the prison. The third point is the exchange condition proposed by Feng Sizhe. Although even if Gao Fengli disagrees, these two personnel arrangements can go ahead. As long as he calls Guan Changxiao and Lu Zhuo to say hello, this personnel matter will not be difficult to solve, but he really doesn't want to do this. What you owe to others will be repaid sooner or later. Being able to solve it in your own way is of course the best result.

After listening to Feng Sizhe's three points, Gao Fengli agreed after just a moment's hesitation. He was lucky enough to be able to save Wang Zhenhuai. At least such a result would not cause any major damage to his authority. As for the conditions proposed by Feng Sizhe, he had no objection, or it would be useless even if he had an objection. After all, Zhuangcheng was a sub-provincial city, and it was not something that he, as an executive vice governor, could easily influence.

Ten minutes after talking with Gao Fengli, Lin Gang, secretary general of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Committee, called and said that an interim meeting of the Municipal Committee would be held in half an hour. The specific agenda was to study the Party’s documents on the development of new rural areas and to make personnel appointments. Obviously, Gao Fengli must have said hello to Wang Guoguang.

The so-called study is nothing but routine. There is no need to convene a Standing Committee meeting. Just distribute the documents and let everyone read them privately. But today, such a thing was brought up at the Standing Committee meeting. It is obvious that it is just a cover for the so-called personnel order. In fact, the so-called personnel order is about Wang Zhenhuai stepping down and Su Zonglin and Wang Ruihua taking over.

This was the first Standing Committee meeting of the Municipal Party Committee since Feng Sizhe took office as Deputy Secretary of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Acting Mayor, so Feng Sizhe attached great importance to it. He instructed Liu Fei to remind himself ten minutes in advance so that he could arrive at the venue earlier.

Normally, as the mayor and the top leader of the municipal government, they usually arrive at the venue on time, a little later than other members of the municipal party committee and a little earlier than the municipal party secretary, but this time Feng Sizhe arrived at the venue early and became the first person, which surprised the leaders of other cities who came in after them. But this surprise was quickly covered up with a pleasant expression. After all, everyone has come to this point today and sat in such a position today. No one is a fool, and they are all smart. Even if strange things happen, they will be in a good mood.

Feng Sizhe sat in the first seat on the right, sitting very straight. His position allowed him to see every person who walked into the venue, and every time someone walked in, he would smile and nod, no matter if he knew the person or not. This was a matter of basic etiquette, and naturally everyone's nod in response to him was a reward.

To be honest, Feng Sizhe's airborne landing in Zhuangcheng City still made many people dissatisfied. Putting aside the fact that Feng Sizhe was too young, it was just because the airborne cadres took up many positions that were promoted. Think about it, if Zhuangcheng City itself produced a deputy ministerial-level official, then naturally there would be a vacant position for a full-department-level cadre, and with the transfer of the full-department-level cadres, there would naturally be a vacant position for a deputy-department-level cadre, and so on. There is still a lot of room for maneuver, but with Feng Sizhe's airborne landing, all the benefits are gone, how can it not cause hatred?

Of course, there are some people who can quickly see the reality. Since Feng Sizhe is here, there is no need to think about those unpleasant things. The next task is to get along well with Feng Sizhe. At least the surface work must be done well.

Feng Sizhe sat there, nodding to everyone who came. At the same time, he also memorized the impressions of these people one by one in his mind and compared them with his original written understanding.

There are a total of thirteen standing members in the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Guoguang, and provincial party committee member, municipal party committee deputy secretary and acting mayor Feng Sizhe. There are also full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee Shen Yaping, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Yu Shuwen, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Feng Xijun, executive deputy mayor Tang Jingui, Organization Minister Sun Meiqing (female), Propaganda Minister Zhu Yongzheng, United Front Minister Mao Shiming, Standing Committee Deputy Mayor Ji Fatang, Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General Lin Gang, Zhuangbei District Party Committee Secretary Jia Wenxiang, and Military Sub-district Political Commissar Wu Gang.

These thirteen people were divided into four factions. The most powerful one was naturally the member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Wang Guoguang. Among them, the Executive Vice Mayor of the Municipal Government Tang Jingui, the Minister of Organization Sun Meiqing, the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee Lin Gang, and the Secretary of the Zhuangbei District Party Committee Jia Wenxiang were all his people. He held five votes.

The second is Shen Yaping, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. As a representative of the local faction in Zhuangcheng City, he joined forces with Zhu Yongzheng, Minister of Propaganda, and Mao Shiming, Minister of United Front Work, and thus had three votes.

The third force is Feng Sizhe. Now he has the support of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee Secretary Feng Xijun and the Municipal Military Sub-district Political Commissar Wu Gang, which also means he has three votes. However, since Wu Gang is a military man, it is not easy for him to get too involved in local affairs. At most, he can vote by raising his hands. So naturally, the value of his three votes is not as high as that of Shen Yaping.

The last group is the centrists. They usually don't express their opinions, mostly by abstaining from voting. Only when their rights are involved will they stand up and express their opinions. This group is composed of Yu Shuwen, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Ji Fatang, deputy secretary of the Standing Committee.

Judging from the situation, Ji Fatang and Feng Sizhe get along pretty well. Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon. After all, there has been no conflict of interest between the two until now, and no one dares to say anything after a long time.

Of course, Feng Sizhe is also striving for it. Judging from the current situation in Zhuangcheng, if Feng Sizhe wants to carry out his work smoothly, he must vigorously expand his influence and voice. Therefore, Yu Shuwen and Ji Fatang, who are neutral, are of course the objects he strives for. Naturally, Feng Sizhe did not imagine this matter too optimistically. Think about it, Wang Guoguang, who has the title of member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and is even the Secretary of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee, cannot pull these two people to himself. In addition, Shen Yaping, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and a local figure who has worked in Zhuangcheng for many years, has not pulled these two people to his side. It is even more difficult for him to persuade them as an outsider or as the acting mayor. Fortunately, there is a long way to go. In addition, Feng Sizhe's current primary task is to straighten out the various directly-managed departments of the municipal government, so this matter can be done slowly, and there is still time.

Less than a minute before the meeting started, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the door, and then Wang Guoguang walked in accompanied by his secretary. As soon as he came in, the other members of the Municipal Party Committee who were chatting there immediately shut up, and the meeting room was silent. It can be seen that Wang Guoguang's authority is still very heavy.

He walked up to the first seat with his horse and sword, and after checking that everyone was present, Wang Guoguang directly said that the meeting should begin.

The first item of the meeting was for Shen Yaping, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, to read the document for everyone to study. This was normal and not worth mentioning. Half an hour later, the central document was studied, and Wang Guoguang made a brief summary. Then the second item of the day's agenda, which was also the one that everyone was more concerned about, was the issue of Wang Zhenhuai, director of the Merchants Bureau, and who would replace him.

Before, everyone present basically knew that Feng Sizhe was going to start the first fire on the Merchants Group. While everyone was feeling sad for Wang Zhenhuai, they were also paying attention to Feng Sizhe. Did this acting mayor, who had just arrived in Zhuangcheng a few days ago, start wielding the sword in his hand? Wasn't this a little too fast?

Feng Sizhe is young, and no one here can be his opponent just by relying on his qualifications and time. After all, the youngest among them is in his forties, and some are in their fifties or even nearly sixty. The state stipulates that department-level and bureau-level cadres must retire at the age of sixty. Therefore, Feng Sizhe has a great advantage in terms of age. He can take it slow and take one step at a time. He believes that no one here can be his opponent just by relying on himself. However, Feng Sizhe's personality, experience and knowledge tell him that he cannot wait.

It is now the end of July, and the day after tomorrow is August 1st. On this day, grandpa will retreat to the second line. Although he has gone to the Central Advisory Commission and his words are still effective, he has retreated to the second line after all. At this time, neither my uncle nor the other people in the Zhao family have fully risen up. In this way, there is a power vacuum in the Zhao family. This is what Feng Sizhe is most worried about. He has had a goal since the day he was reborn, and that is to change the history of Zhao Ai and prevent the events that have hit the Zhao family from happening again. Now, with his efforts for more than ten years, the situation has changed a lot, but it is still not too optimistic. The Zhao family has a weak foundation and the second generation of the Zhao family is not capable. These are indisputable facts. The burden on him will be even heavier, so he cannot wait, because in many cases, standing still is a step backward compared to the progress of others.
