Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Ah? Ask me to apologize to Feng Sizhe? That's impossible." When he heard that he had to admit defeat, Pi Mangui shook his head like a rattle.

"What? Don't you want to be the director of the Construction Bureau? In that case, you don't have to do anything. Just go back and wait." Seeing that Pi Mangui still couldn't tell the severity of the matter at this time, Wang Guoguang became a little angry. To be honest, he was also the target of calculation this time. Pi Mangui used his banner as a cover without even saying hello to him, which made him a little unhappy. If he still didn't listen to his arrangements, then it would be better not to have such an official.

Seeing that Wang Guoguang was really angry, Pi Mangui was a little scared. If even Wang Guoguang didn't care about him, then it would be no big deal for Feng Sizhe to punish him. "Okay, I'll follow Secretary Wang's arrangements. I'll go over right away."

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

Because of the additional 2 billion in funds, the meeting was quite successful. At least many people spoke. Although everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie, at least the atmosphere in the meeting room was warm. This made Feng Sizhe very happy. Who says that today's cadres have no enthusiasm for work? It's because the benefits are not enough. Look, now there is a big piece of cake, isn't it? Everyone is starting to get anxious.

This meeting lasted nearly three hours before it ended. Seeing that it was already time to get off work in the afternoon, Feng Sizhe waved his hand and announced the adjournment of the meeting. Some things need to be done slowly, and one cannot eat a fat man in one bite.

The door of the conference room was finally opened. According to convention, Feng Sizhe, the top cadre, was the first to go out. Liu Fei followed Feng Sizhe carefully. The first thing he saw when he went out was Comrade Pi Mangui, the director of the Municipal Construction Bureau, who was standing there.

At this time, Pi Mangui lowered his head, looking like a young wife who had done something wrong. Normally, Pi Mangui was considered a great man in Zhuangcheng City. He had a good personal relationship with the executive vice mayor Tang Jingui. He was also the confidant of the municipal party secretary Wang Guoguang. He was also in charge of a very lucrative urban construction unit. Such a person was naturally superior to others. Even several ordinary vice mayors of the municipal government would greet him warmly when they saw him. On weekdays, he would always hold his head high wherever he went, as if he was afraid that others would not recognize him. How could he be like this today, with his head completely lowered, looking like he had made a big mistake?

"Director Pi, why are you still here?" Executive Vice Mayor Tang Jingui, who was walking behind Feng Sizhe, was stunned when he saw Pi Mangui standing at the door with his head down, completely subverting his usual arrogant appearance. He said this the moment he opened his mouth.

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Jingui felt something was wrong and added that Feng Sizhe was the mayor, so this question should be asked by someone else.

Fortunately, Feng Sizhe did not seem angry. Instead, he looked at Pi Mangui with interest, as if waiting for his answer.

When Pi Mangui saw that he had attracted Feng Sizhe's attention, he immediately straightened his body and said in a very respectful tone, "Mayor Feng, I'm here to admit my mistake. I didn't arrive on time for the city's meeting and violated discipline. This is all my fault, and I accept any punishment."

When Pi Mangui said this, some other leaders of various departments who came to the meeting were also walking out. Because Feng Sizhe was there, everyone naturally didn't say much and just followed quietly. Suddenly, Pi Mangui's voice came out, and everyone heard it clearly. They were shocked to hear that Pi Mangui, who had always been arrogant and boastful, actually admitted his mistake to the new mayor. How did this magic happen? When did Pi Mangui become so honest?

No matter what everyone thinks, Pi Mangui's confession is a fact. Pi Mangui himself knows that this is too embarrassing, but there is no other way. This is what Secretary Wang Guoguang asked him to do, otherwise he will lose his backer.

"Oh, then you can go to my office." Feng Sizhe nodded, as if he should admit his mistake, and then he strode towards his office. Pi Mangui and Liu Fei followed behind Feng Sizhe, one on the left and one on the right.

Looking at Pi Mangui's departing back, everyone was thinking. Tang Jingui was the most upset. This was originally his idea, in order to make Feng Sizhe lose face. He thought that Pi Mangui was Wang Guoguang's confidant. If Feng Sizhe used Pi Mangui's late arrival to make trouble for him, it would naturally make Wang Guoguang unhappy. In this way, when the two of them fought, he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits. On the other hand, if Feng Sizhe did not get angry, his prestige would be greatly lost. Think about it, as the mayor, you convened the first municipal government executive enlarged meeting and someone was late, which also shows that your control as the mayor is too weak, and others can completely follow your example and not take you seriously.

To be honest, Tang Jingui was very happy when he saw Pi Mangui leave angrily. He thought his conspiracy had succeeded, but the scene just now really stimulated him deeply. It seems that anyone who can become the secretary of the municipal party committee is not a fool. Wang Guoguang has seen through his trick, otherwise Pi Mangui would not come to admit his mistake. He didn't know whether others would have a problem with him because of this incident. Tang Jingui shook his head and left with a bad mood.

Pi Mangui followed Feng Sizhe into the mayor's office. He was very nervous. He didn't know why Feng Sizhe still brought him to the office even though he admitted his mistake. He admitted his mistake in front of so many people and had already given Mayor Feng enough face. What else did he want?

Feng Sizhe didn't want to do anything to Pi Mangui. As soon as he entered his office, he was told that he went to report to Secretary Wang during the meeting. Reporting to the leader depends on the leader's mood. He couldn't say that he was going to the meeting and leave the municipal party secretary there. Besides, he already knew who Pi Mangui was. Indeed, this person was favored by Secretary Wang. Feng Sizhe, who wanted to grasp the economic construction work of Zhuangcheng City, didn't want to provoke Wang Guoguang yet. Although the two of them didn't get along, people at this level couldn't be too petty. As long as others didn't come to destroy him, he would also abide by the awareness that a deputy should have, that is, to do his job well and strive to take the economic work of Zhuangcheng City to a higher level during his term of office. In this way, Wang Guoguang, as the municipal party secretary, would also get points. This was also obvious.

The reason why Feng Sizhe asked Pi Mangui to come over was mainly to explain the spirit of the meeting to him. He was unable to attend the meeting because he arrived late. As the director of the Construction Bureau, this meeting was of great importance to him, so some things needed to be made clear now.

"Please take a seat, Director Pi." Pi Mangui was only a deputy-department-level cadre. Feng Sizhe could have just addressed him by his official title instead of his name. This was also a rule in official circles.

Pi Mangui agreed with a smile and sat down on the reception chair. He was a little confused about what Feng Sizhe was thinking, so it was normal for him to be a little nervous.

"Director Pi, I called you here mainly to inform you of one thing. This time I went to the Kyoto ministries and commissions to obtain 2 billion funds for the economic development of Zhuangcheng City. This money will be mainly used for the urban hardware construction of our Zhuangcheng City. This is what we talked about in the meeting just now. At the same time, the meeting decided to set up a Municipal Urban Construction Committee, with Secretary Wang of the Municipal Party Committee and I as directors, and several other deputy mayors as deputy directors. Among them, Comrade Hua Weimei is the executive deputy director, in charge of daily work. Considering that you are the director of the Construction Bureau, this is also one of the jobs you are in charge of, so I want you to join this committee as well. Do you have any ideas or opinions?" Feng Sizhe knew that since Pi Mangui was Wang Guoguang's man, it would be impossible to win him over. If he really did that, he would be taking the initiative to provoke a war.

Pi Mangui didn't expect that Feng Sizhe would really ask for 2 billion yuan in funds when he went to Kyoto this time, and he didn't expect Feng Sizhe to invite him to join the city construction planning committee. Didn't Feng Sizhe just say that? So all the committee members are mayors, and only he, a deputy department-level cadre, has become a member. This is a kind of respect in itself. Think about it, 2 billion yuan, how much benefit there is in it, and being able to join this committee means that he is a person with the status to share this benefit, and of course he will have no objection. "Thank you, thank you Mayor Feng for your respect, don't worry, I will do my best to do this job well."

"Very good. Then, the city's construction plan must be unified. The first thing your City Construction Bureau needs to do now is to stop approving any official documents. That is to say, from now on, no construction developers are allowed to carry out any construction in Zhuangcheng. Everything that follows needs to be planned and done by our Planning Committee. At the same time, you are also required to do this work for those units that have not yet started construction or have just started construction. In short, one thing is to prevent any incidents that conflict with our Planning Committee. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. Please rest assured, Mayor Feng, leave this matter to me." Pi Mangui said confidently. He was still very confident about this matter. All the units and enterprises that were doing construction in Zhuangcheng City had some connection and relationship with him. It would be most appropriate for him to come forward to solve this problem. Of course, he would be a member of the Planning Committee soon. Think about it, 2 billion yuan of funds is enough to make those people covetous, and it is obviously unwise to want to get a share of it and offend him, Pi Mangui. This established a good premise for completing this work well.
