Rebirth of the Rising Sun

When Feng Sizhe and Wang Ruihua were the only ones left in the office, her face turned red. Thinking about it, this was a rare opportunity for her to be alone with Feng Sizhe.

Feng Sizhe naturally couldn't treat Wang Ruihua as an ordinary subordinate, and he wouldn't take it. He put down the document he was reading, got up and went to the reception area, and sat down on the large sofa alone. "Take a seat." He said to Wang Ruihua.

Wang Ruihua said "hmm" and carefully sat down opposite Feng Sizhe.

"The organization is very satisfied with your work this time, and now you are the executive deputy director, so the burden on you is even heavier. How about it, are you confident that you can do a good job?" Feng Sizhe looked at Wang Ruihua and spoke in official language.

"Yes." Wang Ruihua's answer was not loud, but very firm.

"Okay." Feng Sizhe just hummed, and then the office suddenly became quiet. At this moment, Feng Sizhe also felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate to speak some official language to Wang Ruihua. After all, the two of them were old acquaintances, and this way of talking was really awkward. After thinking for a while, Feng Sizhe said to Wang Ruihua, "I heard that you are married?"

As soon as this question came out, the conversation became private. When Wang Ruihua heard this, he was shocked, and then nodded, "Yes, I am married."

"Oh, I actually heard about your story. Well, maybe this is your fate. You need to be more open-minded, work hard, and pursue a happy life. If you find a suitable one, you might as well look for one." Feng Sizhe knew that Wang Ruihua's husband had been in a car accident. He felt sad for Wang Ruihua after hearing about it, but it was just sadness. There was nothing he could do. You couldn't ask the mayor to be a matchmaker.

"Well, I understand." Listening to Feng Sizhe's words, Wang Ruihua's voice was a little hoarse, and he was obviously a little excited. This excitement could be said to be the feeling of being touched by Feng Sizhe's concern, or for other reasons.

Feng Sizhe was most afraid of women crying. Seeing Wang Ruihua seemed a little agitated, he was afraid that something might happen. A female subordinate, a pretty one at that, came to report to him and left crying. This didn't seem right anyway. "Well, then go back and work hard. If you have any questions, you can call me."

Hearing that Feng Sizhe seemed to be ordering him to leave, Wang Ruihua quickly stood up, agreed, and pushed the door open to walk out.

Looking at Wang Ruihua's lonely back as she left, Feng Sizhe sighed. In fact, he still had feelings for this woman, and he even thought about helping her, but he just didn't know where to start. "Forget it, if possible, I can take care of him more at work in the future." Feng Sizhe comforted himself.

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

On the day of August 1, Army Day, the top leadership of the CMC was replaced, and a number of the army's most capable generals retired from their positions as CMC members.

This is actually a very normal thing. In order to ensure the replacement of old and new leaders, the military will often change leadership later. In the eyes of many people, there is a truth that as long as the army is not in chaos, the state power will not be in trouble. This change of leadership may not have any impact on ordinary people, but it has inevitably had a certain impact on Feng Sizhe.

Because this time Feng Sizhe's grandfather, the helmsman of the Zhao family, General Zhao Mingyuan, who had just served as the Chief of the General Staff of the Army for half a year, also retired. Fortunately, he retired, but he did go to the Central Advisory Commission, which can be regarded as his remaining energy, or more specifically, he went there to take charge.

But he finally resigned. Although the Central Advisory Commission is also a very important department, and even the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders have to take their feelings into consideration when doing many things, he has retired after all. As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. After retiring, his say in many matters naturally became much lower. Although he can still speak out and his weight may even be heavier, he cannot give instructions anytime and anywhere like before. After all, his position is different, and he has to consider the impact. If many things still need to be arranged by Mr. Zhao, doesn't that show the incompetence of the current members of the Military Commission?

Feng Sizhe had received the news about this matter a long time ago, and he also knew that his grandfather had made arrangements. For example, his uncle Zhao Wangang was promoted to the commander of the Northeast Military Region, and his military rank was promoted to lieutenant general, at the ministerial level. His father-in-law He Shengli became the commander of the Central Plains Military Region, also at the ministerial level. These were all the results of his grandfather's previous planning, so he was not worried. In fact, in a sense, the Zhao family still made a profit. After all, because Zhao Mingyuan was in power before, Zhao Wangang or He Shengli could not be too outstanding, which would inevitably become a handle for others to testify. But now that they are no longer in their positions, they don't have to consider these issues. This is actually because Zhao Mingyuan listened to Feng Sizhe's advice and has always stood on Qin Xianghua's side and has always supported him unswervingly. Even when Qin Xianghua's relative Guo Renzheng took office as the secretary of the Shencheng Municipal Party Committee, he also expressed his support. In this way, Qin Xianghua took office as he wished this time, and naturally he would not treat those who supported him unfairly.

But Feng Sizhe could understand it, but others might not, especially Wang Guoguang, secretary of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee. He was delighted when he heard the news. In his opinion, Feng Sizhe could be where he is today only because he had a grandfather who worked in the Military Commission. Now that Zhao Mingyuan is gone, this young man should behave himself from now on.

In view of the fact that Feng Sizhe easily took down Wang Zhenhuai, director of the Investment Promotion Bureau a few days ago, Wang Guoguang decided to give Feng Sizhe a good blow and show him some power. At least to let him know that in Zhuangcheng City, he, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and concurrently serving as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, would always be the top leader. No matter whether you wanted to do anything in personnel or even in economic development, you had to get his consent. So he picked up the phone and called the Executive Vice Mayor Tang Jingui, asking him to come to his office.

As soon as Tang Jingui received Wang Guoguang's call, he rushed over. His situation had been very bad in the past few days. Many of the centrists in the municipal government began to report their work to Feng Sizhe, and the remaining part seemed unable to wait much longer. This made him, the executive vice mayor, feel that his work was particularly difficult. He also heard that Zhao Mingyuan had just been transferred from the Military Commission to the Central Advisory Commission, so as soon as he received Wang Guoguang's call, he knew what he meant and rushed over quickly.

As soon as they entered Wang Guoguang's office, the two of them started smoking, as if they were very good friends. In fact, in a sense, they were indeed good friends. Politically speaking, they were partners. Now that they had a common enemy, Feng Sizhe, they would naturally become closer.

"Xiao Tang, what day is today?" Wang Guoguang did not get to the point right away, but instead planned to use a step-by-step approach to induce the conversation.

As soon as Wang Guoguang said this, Tang Jingui understood what he meant. It seemed that Secretary Tang was indeed dissatisfied with Feng Sizhe. There were rumors before that Secretary Wang's political progress stagnated because of Feng Sizhe's interference many years ago. Now it seems that this is true. Thinking about himself, his wife had an unpleasant experience with Feng Sizhe at the airport at the beginning of the year. Now it seems that the conflict has been going on for a long time. It seems that the two of them are somewhat related. "Well, today is Army Day. Mayor Feng took people to the military sub-district to express his condolences early in the morning."

Tang Jingui was also a smart man. He not only answered what day it was, but also mentioned that Feng Sizhe led a team to visit the military sub-district to express condolences, which made Wang Guoguang even more upset. Because in the past, Wang Guoguang, as the top leader, went to such events. This time, Wang Guoguang wanted to test whether Feng Sizhe had joined forces with Wu Gang, so he proposed that Feng Sizhe go on behalf of the municipal party committee and government. After all, Feng Sizhe had another identity. Was he the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee?

Originally, Feng Sizhe did not want to go, as he did not want to steal the limelight from Wang Guoguang, but he did say that there was a meeting to be held in the province today, so Feng Sizhe had to go. The person sent by Wang Guoguang reported that Feng Sizhe and Wu Gang had a very happy chat, which made him even more unhappy. He even determined that Wu Gang might have sided with Feng Sizhe. After all, looking at Feng Sizhe's political career, the local military sub-districts were often his strong supporters, and this time would probably be no exception.

"Oh, thank you Comrade Feng Sizhe for your hard work." At this moment, after listening to Tang Jingui's report, Wang Guoguang did not say "Secretary Feng" or "Comrade Sizhe", but addressed him by his full name, which was enough to show his dissatisfaction.

Hearing Wang Guoguang say this, Tang Jingui was delighted. He was happy to see that Wang Guoguang had complaints against Feng Sizhe. Although they were allies before, the significance of the alliance was only that after an incident occurred, everyone would plan together to strive for the greatest benefit. There was no rule that Wang Guoguang, Tang Jingui's enemy, must be regarded as an enemy. But now it is different. If Wang Guoguang himself disliked Feng Sizhe, the two of them could definitely have deepened their cooperation and taken action against Feng Sizhe together.

However, Tang Jingui didn't care about Wang Guoguang's method of testing Feng Sizhe. In his opinion, this was too childish. If Wu Gang really intended to join Feng Sizhe, then you don't need to test him. On the contrary, if the two of them have no intention of forming an alliance, then wouldn't you be creating opportunities for them by doing this? So no matter from which aspect, this is a bad move. Of course, Tang Jingui only thought about it in his mind and would not say it out loud. "Yes, Mayor Feng is very busy now. He goes to various directly affiliated units in the city to conduct research every day when he has time. Now the people below are saying that Mayor Feng is a very hardworking mayor and a good cadre who is willing to really go to the grassroots."
