Rebirth of the Rising Sun

When I arrived at the office of the executive vice governor, Secretary Sun Tao was answering a phone call. It seemed that someone wanted to report to Governor Gao. But when Sun Tao saw Feng Sizhe, he immediately stood up, looking a little flustered, "Feng... Hello, Mayor Feng."

Obviously, as Gao Fengli's secretary, Sun Tao knew Feng Sizhe, and Feng Sizhe probably left a "deep" impression on him before.

"Haha, Secretary Sun, Governor Gao is here. I need to report to him." Feng Sizhe would naturally not be too arrogant towards a secretary. In fact, he was a very easy person to get along with. As long as you respect him a foot, he will definitely give you a foot back. At least those who were very angry with Feng Sizhe's methods could say responsibly that they were ignorant and always found fault with Young Master Feng, so naturally they got an extremely depressing result.

"Yes, yes, Mayor Feng, please wait a moment. I'll go in and report." Sun Tao did not dare to look down on Feng Sizhe in the slightest. Although the man in front of him was very young, even younger than him, it was undeniable that he was a vice-ministerial official, at the same level as his boss. Moreover, he believed that with Feng Sizhe's age advantage, it was only a matter of time for him to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. In fact, the man's development prospects were more promising than his boss'.

Sun Tao said a few more words into the phone, then hung up. He turned and walked into the office. He came out again in less than half a minute. "Mayor Feng, Governor Gao, please come in."

"Thank you." Feng Sizhe smiled at Sun Tao and walked inside with steady steps.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Feng Sizhe met Gao Fengli alone after arriving in Zhongzhou Province. The two had met before, but those were all extremely formal occasions. He went there when the provincial government held a mayor's office meeting last time. At that time, the mayors of all the states and cities in Zhongzhou Province came, so Feng Sizhe naturally went as well. But that time, the two just met and did not have a conversation.

When Feng Sizhe entered the office, Gao Fengli also stood up and smiled at Feng Sizhe. After all, they were at the same level, so naturally they had to be more polite. But Gao Fengli's smile was somewhat official, giving people a feeling of reluctance.

Come to think of it, Wang Zhenhuai is Gao Fengli's direct descendant, but he was targeted by Feng Sizhe. It would be strange if he was happy. Although Feng Sizhe finally gave him face and didn't beat Wang Zhenhuai to death, he was still killed after all, which made Gao Fengli lose face.

"Hello, Governor Gao." Feng Sizhe took two steps forward and acted like a subordinate. After all, he was still young and his qualifications were not as good as Gao Fengli. His ranking in Zhongzhou Province was even lower than his. So he still needed to be humble.

"Hello, Comrade Feng Sizhe." Gao Fengli shook hands with Feng Sizhe with a smile, and then the two of them sat down.

Obviously, Gao Fengli was not quite clear about why Feng Sizhe came, so he sat there waiting for Feng Sizhe to speak. Feng Sizhe also knew that there was no affection between the two of them, so it would be better not to try to get close to him, which would only make it awkward. So he directly explained his purpose.

Gao Fengli had heard about Feng Sizhe's trick on Wang Guoguang at the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. After all, the provincial party committee and government were in Zhuangcheng, so it was impossible for the provincial leaders to not know about the actions of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee. When this matter spread, some people looked down on Wang Guoguang and thought that he had a title of provincial party committee standing committee member for nothing. Others also became curious about Feng Sizhe, a young man who could make Wang Guoguang lose face. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor Gao Fengli is very clear. Although Wang Guoguang is much older than Feng Sizhe, the gap between the two sides in terms of governing skills is not necessarily that big. You should know that although Feng Sizhe is young, he has served as Executive Vice County Magistrate, County Magistrate, County Party Secretary, Deputy Mayor, Mayor, Municipal Party Secretary, and has also served in central ministries and commissions. It can be said that he has quite rich experience in struggles, while Wang Guoguang has only been working in central ministries and commissions. Although his rank can be promoted faster there, he is a little worse in terms of struggle experience. In the central government, it is important to know who has a strong backstage and who has a strong background. Relatively speaking, personal means are not used very often, unlike in local areas, where you often have to go into battle bare-handed, or even fight in close combat, because here, everyone values ​​your ability more, and your background is relatively worse. After all, the emperor is far away, and you have a big flag, but it is not very useful to use it on some people of small status. So from these aspects, Gao Fengli has determined that Wang Guoguang is not as good as Feng Sizhe.

It is precisely because of this mentality that Gao Fengli never looked down on Feng Sizhe. Now listening to his economic plan for Zhuangcheng City, he was more certain of his own ideas. He was somewhat shocked that Feng Sizhe had such an idea after such a short time in Zhuangcheng City. He even agreed with it in his heart, but he could not support him. The reason was very simple. He was Governor Tang Chengwei's man, and Governor Tang had been the secretary of Wen Guoyue, the old man of the Wen family. The Wen family had always disliked Feng Sizhe, so he had to do this in order to get the approval of the Wen family.

"Well, Mayor Feng's idea is still very forward-looking and sounds good. But I'm afraid you don't know the actual financial situation of our Zhongzhou Province. The whole province is now engaged in economic construction, and money is needed everywhere. You see..." Gao Fengli said so much, but in fact he meant only one thing, that is, your idea is good, but I just don't have the money, so you can do whatever you want.

As Gao Fengli, who is in charge of the province's financial affairs, if he says there is no money, then basically there is nothing he can do. Fortunately, Feng Sizhe didn't expect anything. "Well, Governor Wan told me this, but it doesn't matter. Since the province has no money, I plan to ask the central government for it."

Gao Fengli wanted to laugh when he heard Feng Sizhe's firm voice. Who do you think you are? Even if you are Zhao Mingyuan's grandson, so what? There are many people who go to Kyoto to ask for money, and many of them are children of noble families and officials. It would be easier to handle things with this identity, but the amount of money you want this time is not small, 2 billion, it's not that easy to get, do you think your father is the Minister of Finance?

Of course, these are all Gao Fengli's thoughts, he won't say them out loud. "Oh, if Mayor Feng has such an idea, that's great, I support you in principle."

"Okay, then thank you Governor Gao, but there's one thing I don't know whether I should say it or not." Seeing Gao Fengli still pretending to have done his job well, Feng Sizhe sneered in his heart. What he wanted was not his verbal support, but real actions.

"Mayor Feng, if you have any questions, please ask." Gao Fengli said these words with a fake look of "I fully support you." Although both of them are deputy ministerial-level cadres, Gao Fengli is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and has worked in Zhongzhou Province for several years. In addition, he is also the person of Governor Tang Chengwei, so he naturally has a sense of superiority. Under normal circumstances, he still has a sense of superiority. Of course, if Wang Zhenhuai hadn't committed a crime a while ago, it would not be easy for Feng Sizhe to burn so vigorously. Now, when facing Feng Sizhe, Gao Fengli certainly won't give him a very good face. If there is a chance, he doesn't mind giving Feng Sizhe some trouble.

Feng Sizhe was of course aware that Gao Fengli looked down on him, and he even understood that Gao Fengli must have some complaints about him, but there was nothing he could do. Since he had to deal with him for work, he had to come to Gao Fengli's office to discuss things. In Feng Sizhe's heart, he always believed that official business was official business, and private business was private business. If someone wanted to vent their dissatisfaction with him at work, then sorry, he would definitely fight back. Just like now, in order to prevent Gao Fengli from tripping him up, he had to say some ugly words in advance. "Governor Gao, it's like this. If I get the special funds from the central government, then please don't deduct them from the province, and let the money go to the Finance Bureau of Zhuangcheng City truthfully. There should be no problem with this request."

When Gao Fengli mentioned this, his expression changed slightly. Generally speaking, when the central government allocated funds, part of them would be intercepted when they reached the province. This was also a common practice. After all, the province had many places to spend money. But now Feng Sizhe had already asked for help before the money arrived. This made Gao Fengli very unhappy. Although he was unhappy, he still agreed, "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't make it difficult for you."

"Well, thank you, Governor Gao." After listening to this, Feng Sizhe smiled at Gao Fengli, nodded politely, then stood up and left.

Looking at Feng Sizhe's departing back, Gao Fengli said bitterly, "You're already so arrogant even though you haven't gotten the money yet. If you really get it, you'll be rebelling. Humph! Just wait. It's better if nothing happens to me, otherwise I will show no mercy." Obviously, he is still upset about Wang Zhenhuai's matter.

After visiting the two vice governors, he had to go to the governor Tang Chengwei. If he wanted to ask for such a large amount of funds, he had to go to the governor, otherwise there would be more problems and people would say he was disrespectful to his leader. Although Feng Sizhe knew that Tang Chengwei was the secretary of Mr. Wen and must be a direct descendant of the Wen family, Feng Sizhe still had to deal with him.

Outside the governor's office, Feng Sizhe met Gao Quan, the deputy secretary-general of the General Office of the Zhongzhou Provincial Government, who was also Tang Chengwei's secretary.
