Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Wang Guoguang looked at his deputy, Shen Yaping, who seemed to have no desires on the surface, but was actually extremely eager for power and even wanted to arrange more of his own people to take positions in the last term. He said calmly, "Comrade Yaping, I want to transfer Comrade He Zhongjun to the Municipal Forestry Bureau as director. Do you have any ideas?"

When facing such a person who is extremely hungry for power, any preparation is useless. The best way is to be straightforward, state your demands, and find out the other party's bottom line.

Shen Yaping was shocked. It's not that he had not thought that Wang Guoguang would fight back against Feng Sizhe. After all, Wang Zhenhuai's resignation was a matter that made him, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, in charge of personnel matters, very passive in his work. However, he did not expect that he would fight back so soon. Moreover, it was really too cruel for him to use He Zhongjun, the first cadre in the city to defect to Feng Sizhe, as an accusation.

But this surprise disappeared after just a second. To be an official at this position, who is not a ruthless person? If not, I'm afraid there would not be such achievements as today.

"He Zhongjun has only been the director of the Audit Bureau for more than two years." Shen Yaping said this slowly. He said this because there are clear regulations on the promotion of officials. It is said that general cadres must work in their posts for about four years before they can be promoted or moved. Of course, this is only a basic regulation. There is also a regulation in the personnel procedure, that is, if someone has worked in the unit for more than two years, he has met the basic conditions for changing positions. Therefore, the sentence "working for more than two years" can be regarded as Shen Yaping's support for Wang Guoguang, or it can be regarded as his opposition.

Wang Guoguang cursed Shen Yaping in his heart as an old fox. He knew that Shen Yaping and others were making conditions for him. This person would not show his hand until he saw the rabbit. He would not easily express his position without seeing the benefits clearly.

Fortunately, Wang Guoguang had already made preparations in this regard. "Well, it's like this. Director Huang of the Forestry Bureau is getting old and is going to retire. So in order for the Forestry Bureau to do a better job and contribute to the economic development of our city, I plan to let Comrade Huang Gang retire early. And in view of the mediocre performance of the Forestry Bureau in recent years, I want to replace the executive deputy director as well. I'd better let Comrade Yaping consider this candidate."

It is obvious that Wang Guoguang wants to transfer He Zhongjun to the Forestry Bureau as director. At the same time, he is also preparing to give the position of executive deputy director of the Forestry Bureau to Shen Yaping. Although it is only an executive deputy director, it is also a director-level position. Speaking of it, the benefits are not small.

Shen Yaping naturally knew that if Wang Guoguang wanted to talk to him and get his support, he would have to give him some benefits. Now that he heard that a director-level position was about to be obtained, he nodded and said, "Okay, Secretary Wang, I will think about it carefully."

"Okay, today is Wednesday, so we will hold a Standing Committee meeting on Friday to decide this matter. What do you think?" Hearing Shen Yaping's agreement, Wang Guoguang showed a happy smile on his face.

"Okay." Shen Yaping agreed, then said a few more polite words and walked out of the secretary's office.

There is no wall that is impenetrable, let alone a matter involving two deputy directors and several division-level cadres. The news soon spread throughout the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Building. Many government workers who received the news were whispering about this matter which had not yet happened but seemed to have already been finalized.

Early in the morning, Feng Sizhe had just entered his office when his secretary Liu Fei followed him in. "Mayor Feng, I heard something and I don't know if I should tell you."

Since Liu Fei became Feng Sizhe's secretary, although his rank was only deputy section chief, because of his special status and the fact that he was the actual manager of the Second Comprehensive Division of the Municipal Government, naturally many people came close to him. He also knew that he had to serve the leaders more in this position, so he was happy to make friends with everyone, so that he could get some information through his own channels and provide some help before Feng Sizhe made a decision. Now he heard that Wang Guoguang had talked to Shen Yaping and decided on He Zhongjun's future. As Feng Sizhe's secretary, he knew very well that He Zhongjun was one of the first cadres in the municipal government's direct departments to come close to Feng Sizhe. The leaders attached great importance to him, and now there were rumors that were unfavorable to He Zhongjun, so he naturally wanted to report.

"Tell me what you want to say. I won't blame you even if I'm wrong." Feng Sizhe looked at Liu Fei as if he had something to say and nodded. He was still satisfied with Liu Fei. Although many things were not as smooth as Chen Guangming's in the beginning, it had only been a short time. He believed that Liu Fei would slowly become a qualified secretary.

Encouraged by Feng Sizhe, Liu Fei became bolder. "It's like this, Boss. I heard some rumors that Secretary Wang had a talk with Deputy Secretary Shen yesterday afternoon. The content of the conversation was..."

Although Liu Fei could not tell all the details of the conversation, after all, he was not at the scene, but he still roughly restored the before and after of the incident. Hearing Liu Fei's words, Feng Sizhe took it seriously. He knew that the matter about Wang Zhenhuai did make Wang Guoguang somewhat passive. It was because he knew this result that he did not come forward, but let Shen Yaping handle the matter, and finally gave Wang Guoguang a position at the director level, but it was obvious that Wang Guoguang did not appreciate it and was going to fight back against him.

As a newcomer, Feng Sizhe originally wanted to take care of his own affairs and take charge of the economic work of Zhuangcheng City first. As for the personnel issues, he really didn't think of intervening. He just thought that if someone didn't listen to his orders, he would just replace him. He thought that it was understandable for him to do so, but now it seems that Wang Guoguang's temperament is not very good. He actually holds a grudge against him and wants to replace He Zhongjun. Feng Sizhe is full of hope for He Zhongjun. He talked with this cadre several times and found that he liked this cadre very much. His views on things and methods of doing things are very much to his taste. He even thought about adding some burdens to him, whether to get him to a more important department. Now, Wang Guoguang actually wants to exclude him. If Wang Guoguang really succeeds, then He Zhongjun will naturally not be able to move his position for a while. After all, the job has just been transferred. If it is re-activated, it will inevitably make outsiders think that the working methods and work intensity of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Committee are not good enough.

"No, we can't let Wang Guoguang succeed with this plan." This was a decision Feng Sizhe made directly based on his feelings. "Very good, Liu Fei, you did a good job, you can go down first." He would not discuss any decision with Liu Fei. Although he admired this person, it did not mean that he had to talk to him about everything.

Liu Fei was very happy to receive Feng Sizhe's recognition. He felt that he had fulfilled his responsibility. He also knew that even if he participated in such a big event, he would not be able to play any role.

After Liu Fei walked out and closed the door, Feng Sizhe lit a cigarette and started smoking. Obviously, this was Wang Guoguang's counterattack. He even learned from me and knew that his own strength was not enough, so he borrowed Shen Yaping. However, it can be imagined that Wang Guoguang must have given him benefits this time, otherwise, with Shen Yaping's personality, would he help?

There are 13 members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in Zhuangcheng City. Wang Guoguang, as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, holds five votes, and Shen Yaping, as the full-time Deputy Secretary, holds three votes. If the two of them join forces, they will have eight votes, which completely exceeds more than half of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. In other words, if these two people join forces, then there will be no place for him as the mayor in the Standing Committee in the future. Although Feng Sizhe came to Zhuangcheng City to serve as the mayor and is in charge of the economy, if he has no say in personnel matters, it is conceivable that no one will take him seriously. Once he loses even the most basic respect, then naturally no one will listen to Feng Sizhe's economic affairs.

Feng Sizhe would never allow Wang Guoguang and Shen Yaping to get together. He could not allow the Standing Committee of Zhuangcheng City to be occupied by others. This was a matter of principle.

After making the decision, Feng Sizhe began to think about the joints and soon figured out some things. Shen Yaping would help Wang Guoguang, which was obviously beneficial. As long as the exchange conditions between them were clarified, Feng Sizhe believed that he could find the problem and expand it to make their weak alliance fall apart quickly. But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that even if Feng Sizhe and Shen Yaping joined forces, they only had six votes, one vote short of half. What should he do with this vote?

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

In the office of Ji Fatang, deputy mayor of Zhuangcheng City, he was looking at a document in his hand when he heard the secretary's loud voice outside the door, "Hello, Mayor Feng."

When he heard the secretary calling Mayor Feng, Ji Fatang immediately stood up and hurried to the door. At this time, the door opened, and Feng Sizhe, accompanied by his secretary, was already standing in front of Ji Fatang.

"Mayor Feng, look at what you are saying. If there is anything, I can just make a phone call and come over. Why bother you to come in person?" Ji Fatang said politely when he saw that it was really Mayor Feng Sizhe.

Normally, if the mayor wants to meet with the deputy mayor, he just makes a phone call. Sometimes, he can even let the mayor himself make the call, which is already a courtesy. But now Feng Sizhe has come here by himself, which undoubtedly shows that he values ​​Ji Fatang and is giving him enough face.
