Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Haha, it's not far away, why should we be so polite?" Feng Sizhe laughed and walked into the office. The secretary hurriedly served tea and water, and Ji Fatang quickly led Feng Sizhe to the reception area in the office. Since the mayor was here, he couldn't show off his status at the desk. Otherwise, should Feng Sizhe report to him, or should he report to Feng Sizhe?

Sitting opposite Ji Fatang in the reception area, Feng Sizhe chuckled, "Mayor Ji is from the Northeast, right? I heard the weather there is very cold, right?"

Ji Fatang thought Feng Sizhe had something important to say, but he didn't expect him to start chatting. Without knowing what Feng Sizhe's purpose was, he smiled and answered, "Yes, my hometown is Harbin Province in the northeast, which is the earliest founder of the country's heavy industry. As for the weather, it is indeed very cold due to the geographical location, but fortunately there are heaters in the rooms, and even in the countryside, every family has a stove, a fire pit, and a fire wall. It's much warmer than outside when it's burning."

"That's true. Although the weather in the south is much warmer than that in the northeast, the temperature inside and outside the house is the same in winter. It's not as warm as in the northeast where you can go inside when it gets cold." Feng Sizhe knew something about the northeast. He had been to the northeast when he was studying before his rebirth. It was winter at that time. Although it was very cold outside, even extremely cold, it was like summer inside the room. So from a certain perspective, spending the winter in the northeast is not something that is incomprehensible.

"Oh, Mayor Feng is really clear about the weather differences between the Northeast and the South." Hearing Feng Sizhe say this, Ji Fatang also became excited. He didn't expect that Feng Sizhe, at such a young age, actually knew these things.

"Well, I was lucky enough to be in the Northeast." Feng Sizhe nodded. Of course, he would not say that he had been there in his previous life. Instead, he said casually, "I went to Harbin Province at that time. I went to meet Secretary Tian of Harbin Province and Minister Xia of the Propaganda Department. I have to say that people in the Northeast are really hospitable. Once the wine is picked up, they usually don't leave until they are drunk."

Feng Sizhe mentioned Tian Longshan and Xia Xiang intentionally in order to lay the groundwork for the subsequent conversation.

Ji Fatang was also stunned when he heard that Feng Sizhe actually mentioned the Harbin Provincial Party Committee Secretary Tian Longshan and the Provincial Propaganda Minister Xia Xiang. As a native of Harbin Province, although he was an official outside, he would not be ignorant of the parents of his hometown. On the contrary, not only did he know these things, but his son also worked in the General Office of the Harbin Provincial Party Committee, which was not bad. He was a deputy section-level cadre. His son was sensible, which made him, as a father, very proud.

"Haha, really." Ji Fatang didn't know how to respond to this, so he just dealt with it, because he really didn't know what Feng Sizhe meant by saying this to him. If he said it was just a simple chat, he didn't quite believe it. He ignored the work in Zhuangcheng City and talked about the Northeast which was thousands of miles away. Isn't this a bit off topic?

Without letting Ji Fatang wait for long, Feng Sizhe continued, "Haha, a while ago I was studying at the deputy ministerial level training class at the Central Party School, and I met a cadre from Harbin City, Harbin Province. He called me a few days ago and said that his former secretary became a deputy county magistrate, and he was in need of a suitable secretary. He also asked me if I had a suitable one. You know, although I have been there, I don't know the situation there at all. How can I find one rashly? But I don't know how to respond to my classmate's request. Now I think about it and it makes me upset."

"Oh, you have a classmate working in Harbin. What's his position?" Ji Fatang was excited when he heard this. Although his son was already a deputy section-level cadre, he knew that this deputy section was the result of his relationship with others years ago. So how long can he sell his face? Although he is now a full-time department-level official and has stepped into the threshold of a senior national cadre, if he takes his power back to Harbin, it will be useless. If they are willing, they can sell your face. If they are not willing, then sorry, you will not have any face. So he is also very worried about his son's future development. But now Feng Sizhe has told him about this. If Mayor Feng's classmate is really in a high position, then he can consider fighting for it. If he really becomes the secretary of a leader, it will be much easier to get promoted.

This is the difference between officials and businessmen. Many people have studied this issue and have debated whether money or power is more important. In the end, there is no complete result that everyone agrees on. For example, some people say that money is useful, but it is nothing in the face of power. Some people say that power is useful, but it is indeed local. Of course, if you really become a leader, it is another matter. After all, the positions of leaders are limited, and not every official has the hope of becoming one of them.

Seeing that Ji Fatang was finally interested, Feng Sizhe smiled in his heart. Chen Hu had sent the investigation report on his deputy a long time ago, so Feng Sizhe knew that he had a son working in the General Office of the Harbin Provincial Party Committee. A while ago, Xiang Tianliang, who happened to be in Harbin Province, called him. When the two were chatting, he talked about looking for a secretary. His previous secretary was indeed demoted to a deputy county magistrate, so he called Feng Sizhe. It was easy to understand why Xiang Tianliang made this call. He wanted to make friends with Feng Sizhe, so he thought of using this method to deepen the relationship between the two parties. Think about it, Xiang Tianliang can even use Feng Sizhe's people for secretary matters, which proves that he treats you as a friend and has no intention of guarding against you at all.

Feng Sizhe also knew about it, but he had not thought about doing it yet. In his opinion, the leader's secretary must be selected by himself, so that he can feel at ease. But now seeing that Wang Guoguang was going to make things difficult for him and suppress his authority, he had no choice but to think of this method, so he came to Ji Fatang mainly to talk about this matter.

"Well, he is the standing committee member and deputy mayor of Harbin. In fact, he holds the same position as you, and is also a full-time department-level cadre. But I might as well reveal something to you. His uncle is the standing committee member of the Harbin Provincial Party Committee and a full-time deputy secretary, Xiang Tong. He also performed well in the deputy ministerial training class this time. Although he cannot be promoted to a deputy ministerial-level cadre immediately, there is no problem in promoting him to an executive deputy mayor, hehe." Feng Sizhe gave a brief report on Xiang Tianliang's situation while chatting and laughing. He believed that his words would definitely impress Ji Fatang.

When he heard that he was also a department-level cadre, although he looked the same as himself, he had an uncle who was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, while he did not. So from a certain perspective, his development trajectory must be better than his. If he could let his son be his secretary, he would not have to worry about his future. But he also knew that choosing a secretary was not a trivial matter. Could Feng Sizhe make the decision? Don't say that he didn't have the final say, that would be a joke, and his son would go from hope to disappointment, which would be bad.

Because of his concerns, Ji Fatang did not tell his son about this matter immediately. Instead, he decided to think about it and call his son before making a decision.

Feng Sizhe came here for this matter. Now that he had finished speaking, he stood up and left Ji Fatang. After Feng Sizhe left, Ji Fatang immediately called his son who was far away in Harbin Province and asked him what he thought about this matter.

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

Two days later, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was held in the small conference room of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee office building.

All twelve members of the Standing Committee of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee were present. They were sitting here smoking. If the windows had not been open, people who didn't know the situation would have thought there was a fire here.

Organization Minister Sun Meiqing was sitting there in a professional blue suit, frowning. She looked at every smoker with displeasure. She was thinking in her heart that these people didn't know how to take care of themselves as a woman and let themselves breathe in secondhand smoke, which was not good for the body at all.

But no matter how much hatred or even sharpness Sun Meiqing gave everyone, everyone seemed to ignore her. It has long been heard that Sun Meiqing relied on Wang Guoguang to get to the top, relying on her natural capital. Now it seems that she does have some capital. For example, although she is over 40 years old, her skin is still well maintained, with double eyelids, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a bit of noble temperament. She should have been a beauty when she was young, but it was a pity that the good cabbage was taken by the pig, and Wang Guoguang got it for free.

In fact, this is the general idea of ​​men. In the minds of most men, other men are not good except themselves. Especially when they see a beautiful girl around someone, they will inevitably have evil thoughts in their hearts. This is also a bit of Ah Q spirit, which is actually normal. So the men present are all thinking that you, Sun Meiqing, have Secretary Wang to take care of and love you, but we don’t seem to have this obligation.

When the time came, Wang Guoguang walked into the meeting room on time. Many top leaders are very punctual, as if they cannot show their authority if they don't arrive on time. But after entering the meeting room, Wang Guoguang still frowned, because he also felt that there was too much smoke in the meeting room today. Of course, he didn't know that some people wanted to anger Sun Meiqing, and they only smoked one cigarette, but ended up smoking two more to create an effect.
