Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Whether it was Minister Ji or Zu Jie, they were here because Feng Sizhe called and asked for them to be here. This time, in order to win over Zhu Yongzheng, Feng Sizhe had invested a lot of money, even if he owed Zu Jie a favor. In fact, he had other ideas. For example, if Zhuangcheng wanted to build the first city in the Central Plains, the publicity work must keep up. If his relationship with the Minister of Propaganda was not good, the implementation of the matter would be greatly reduced.

Speaking of which, Zu Jie and Feng Sizhe have known each other for many years. The interests of both parties have been tied together since the establishment of the Great Wall Club. Then, a large amount of steel and equipment came in from the Soviet Union before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and he made another fortune from it. Although Pengfei Group now seems to be Duan Yunpeng's asset, it actually also has Zu Jie's shares and Feng Sizhe's shares. Because of the interests, the relationship between the two has become very good. This can be regarded as a card that Feng Sizhe had played a long time ago by taking advantage of the rebirth change, and now it has gradually begun to take effect.

As soon as Feng Sizhe called Zu Jie, he naturally had to come. At that time, he happened to be having dinner with Deputy Minister Ji Zhihong. Speaking of Ji Zhihong, this person was a person that Zu Jie's father Zu Youjing valued very much. Now they were the top two in the Central Propaganda Department respectively. Naturally, Zu Jie and Ji Zhihong had a very good relationship. Now when he heard that Feng Sizhe had something to ask him, he discussed it with his Uncle Ji, and the two of them rushed over.

Now that Ji Zhihong had arrived, he naturally had to sit in the main seat. Feng Sizhe and Zu Jie sat beside him on his left and right. Looking at Li Dechen, his face was already full of coquettish smiles.

"What's going on?" After shaking hands with Feng Sizhe, Ji Zhihong turned his gaze to Li Dechen. This man was his subordinate, so he naturally had to ask him if he had any questions.

Li Dechen saw that Ji Zhihong seemed a little unhappy, and he was very nervous. He didn't expect Feng Sizhe to be so capable. He said he knew Minister Ji, but then Minister Ji showed up. If he thought it was just a coincidence, then he would have been in office for nothing. He naturally saw that Ji Zhihong was supporting Feng Sizhe. So, facing the leader's question, he answered very carefully, "Minister Ji, I am here to talk to Mayor Feng and Minister Zhu. I was just talking about you when you arrived, haha."

Li Dechen was also very smart. He just said that he wanted to talk to Feng Sizhe about something, but he did not say clearly how to talk about it, because he was not sure whether Feng Sizhe would say anything nice to him next. If he described everything well and Feng Sizhe exposed him in person, where would he put his face?

Hearing Li Dechen's answer, Feng Sizhe smiled. This man was a smart man. If that was the case, he would help him. "Haha, Minister Ji, Master Zu, Chief Editor Li is right. I was just talking to Chief Editor Li about the propaganda work in Zhuangcheng City with Comrade Zhu Yongzheng, the Minister of Propaganda of Zhuangcheng City. Chief Editor Li was just about to give us some instructions, but unfortunately you guys came."

After Feng Sizhe said this, Li Dechen breathed a sigh of relief. Not bad, Mayor Feng still knew how to save his face. This was good. At least he looked good. In order to repay Feng Sizhe, he would naturally take special care of the publicity work in Zhuangcheng City. This was a win-win situation. "Yes, yes, what Mayor Feng said was right, hehe."

Zhu Yongzheng, who was standing aside, was the most surprised person at this moment. Compared to Li Dechen, who could wake up from the shock so quickly, he really didn't have such ability. When he heard Feng Sizhe say that he knew Ji Zhihong, he was a little confused, thinking that this was just Feng Sizhe pulling the flag and pulling the tiger skin, but when the real Ji Zhihong appeared, he was really shocked. Could it be that Feng Sizhe was not lying, and he really had a friendship with Minister Ji? If he was not in the Propaganda Department, he might not have such a great respect for Ji Zhihong, but Zhu Yongzheng happened to be a cadre of the Propaganda Department. He knew very well that Ji Zhihong was second only to Comrade Zu Youjing, a member of the Central Political Bureau, Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and Minister of the Central Propaganda Department in the Propaganda Department. In view of the importance of the Propaganda Department, as early as October 1997, the Central Propaganda Department and the Executive Vice Minister were ministerial-level officials, which means that Ji Zhihong was actually a ministerial-level official. If he wanted to go to the local level, it must be the existence of the provincial party secretary, and the position of the governor would be too low.

Seeing Ji Zhihong actually maintaining a friendly attitude with Feng Sizhe at this moment, Zhu Yongzheng's heart began to beat. Didn't we only hear that Feng Sizhe had a grandfather who had just retired from the Military Commission and joined the Central Advisory Commission? Then when did he have such a relationship?

No matter what Zhu Yongzheng thought, the reality was that Ji Zhihong and Feng Sizhe were talking happily, and for a while, they left Li Dechen aside. It was not until more than ten minutes later that Ji Zhihong remembered Li Dechen and said to him, "Old Li, we comrades working in the central government should always think about creating some conditions for comrades working at the grassroots level. For example, Zhuangcheng City is the provincial capital after all. We should give them more support and encouragement in their work in the future."

"Yes, yes, Minister Ji is right. I've taken note of it." Li Dechen nodded continuously, as if Ji Zhihong had ignored him just now and everything was as it should be.

With what Ji Zhihong said, Feng Sizhe naturally knew that the matter was settled. And Ji Zhihong did have something to do next. After all, people of his level had already arranged what to do at what time of the day. It was because of Zu Jie's face that he took the time to solve the problem. Now that the matter was resolved, he naturally had to leave.

Relatively speaking, Zu Jie is much more idle. Although he is now a leading cadre at the department level, there are many people of this level in Kyoto. After Feng Sizhe and Zu Jie sent Ji Zhihong away, the two walked back again.

When Feng Sizhe sent Ji Zhihong away, Li Dechen took the time to commend Zhuangcheng City's publicity work. He also said that Zhu Yongzheng could come to him directly if he had any problems in the future. At the same time, he did not forget to blame Zhu Yongzheng, saying that since you have such a good relationship, why didn't you tell him earlier, which almost caused him to make an inappropriate move.

Zhu Yongzheng felt a little wronged. Although he had heard that Feng Sizhe had come to Kyoto to run a project, he had not expected that the two sides would meet, let alone that Feng Sizhe had such strong connections in Kyoto and had such close ties with the Central Propaganda Department. However, this feeling of being wronged was really refreshing. At least he knew that he would not have so many troubles in the future when he wanted to carry out his work. And of course, he had to thank Feng Sizhe for all this. Normally, he should thank him for helping him so much, but now looking at Feng Sizhe who was sitting there chatting with Zu Jie, Zhu Yongzheng hesitated again.

Zhu Yongzheng was a cadre of Zhuangcheng City, and Zhuangcheng City was the territory of Wang Guoguang, the secretary of the municipal party committee. He was one of the cadres who had a very good relationship with Wang Guoguang. Although he could not be called a member of Wang's family, he would generally support Wang Guoguang's requests. But now Feng Sizhe came to Zhuangcheng City and took the position of mayor. According to his feeling, neither Wang Guoguang nor Feng Sizhe was easy to get along with, so naturally there would be a fight. Now he expressed his gratitude to Feng Sizhe. If Wang Guoguang knew about it, what would he think? For a while, Zhu Yongzheng was in a dilemma.

Feng Sizhe chatted with Zu Jie all day while paying attention to Zhu Yongzheng. He felt amused, especially when he saw Zhu Yongzheng frowning. He guessed that he was having an ideological struggle. He didn't want to disturb him at this time. He wanted to see what Zhu Yongzheng's final decision was.

Five or six minutes seemed like a few days to Zhu Yongzheng. Finally, he decided to express his gratitude to Feng Sizhe. No matter what, Feng Sizhe helped him this time. Moreover, he could feel that since Feng Sizhe could help him this time, he could also destroy him once. For example, why Li Dechen in front of him valued him so much was simply because of Feng Sizhe. He could imagine that if he had a bad relationship with Feng Sizhe, everything would be the opposite today. Anyway, it was for work, so it was nothing for him to say thank you. So, he walked up to Feng Sizhe generously and said thank you, Mayor Feng.

"Haha, Comrade Yongzheng, you are too polite. Come, let me introduce you. This is Zu Jie, currently the director of the External Propaganda Department of the Central Propaganda Department. Oh, by the way, his father is Minister Zu Youjing." Feng Sizhe said to Zhu Yongzheng with a smile.

With Zhu Yongzheng's background, he naturally didn't know Zu Jie's true identity, but from Ji Zhihong's performance just now, he guessed that this young man who was about the same age as Feng Sizhe must be extraordinary. But now that Feng Sizhe had revealed his identity, he couldn't help but be surprised. To say that a director of the Central Propaganda Department was indeed not worth his attention, but it was different when he was Zu Youjing's son, who was a legitimate prince. Immediately, his attitude became better, and he bowed to Zu Jie, saying as if he was meeting a leader, "Hello, Director Zu."

"Haha, it's Comrade Zhu Yongzheng, right? Hello." Zu Jie extended a hand generously. He knew a lot about Zhu Yongzheng from the chat with Feng Sizhe just now. He knew that Feng Sizhe, who had just taken office as the mayor of Zhuangcheng City, was eager to open up the situation there, and to establish a good relationship with Zhu Yongzheng was a very important step. For this reason, he greeted Zhu Yongzheng politely, just to give Feng Sizhe face.

Zhu Yongzheng did not expect Zu Jie to be so easy to talk to. Normally, people of this background would not be too polite to a city-level propaganda minister like himself. But now he could take the initiative to greet him. Obviously, this was Feng Sizhe's face. He immediately extended his hand. He would not miss this opportunity to make friends with Zu Jie.
