Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Okay, I support this decision." Feng Sizhe nodded. He had already sensed the sneer coming from the corner of Wang Guoguang's mouth, but he still had to do it. He was just that kind of person. Once he made a decision, he had to do it. Even though there were numerous difficulties and dangers, he believed that as long as he worked hard, the difficult situation would get better little by little.

Wang Guoguang is really capable. He did not directly ask Feng Sizhe whether he had a suitable candidate. It was obvious that he had already prepared for this candidate. If he had asked Feng Sizhe who he had, and Feng Sizhe had said so, Wang Guoguang would have had to express his support or not. So he simply did not mention it. Instead, he made a quick decision to hold a meeting tomorrow to study the matter. He did this just to catch Feng Sizhe and Shen Yaping off guard.

After leaving Wang Guoguang's place, Feng Sizhe went straight to the office of Deputy Secretary Shen Yaping not far away. Although he knew that this communication with Shen Yaping would not produce good results, as long as he had a glimmer of hope, he would still make an effort.

As expected, it was just as Feng Sizhe and Wang Guoguang expected. Shen Yaping had originally received Feng Sizhe warmly, but when he heard that Feng Sizhe wanted to communicate with him about replacing the position of the Finance Bureau Director, and even that Feng Sizhe already had Yu Fan in mind as a candidate, Shen Yaping immediately started to speak in an official tone.

The rule within a city is that the secretary is in charge of the hat and the mayor is in charge of the purse, and as a full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, he is actually a deputy. On the surface, he can manage a lot of things, but in fact, there are very few departments that he should be directly in charge of. If he wants to survive better under the authority of the secretary and the mayor, he needs to have more control over some directly managed departments. For example, the position of director of the Finance Bureau is naturally something he wants very much. Think about it, if Shen Yaping can have a strong voice in the Finance Bureau, it is conceivable how much greater his authority will be, not to mention that the Finance Bureau of Zhuangcheng City is now richer than ever before.

"Well, isn't Comrade Yu Fan still too young? If our Zhuangcheng City wants to develop, the first thing we need to consider is stability. I think the position of Director of the Finance Bureau should be replaced by someone older, such as Comrade Le Anshun, Director of the Statistics Bureau. He was originally the deputy director of the Finance Bureau, and later went to the Statistics Bureau. Such cadres are already very familiar with financial work, and now he has been the head of the Statistics Bureau for a period of time. It can be said that he has a good overall view. If such a comrade can be appointed as the Director of the Finance Bureau, I think it is completely appropriate. Of course, Comrade Yu Fan is young and energetic, which is also good, but I think he still needs to be trained. For example, if possible, he can be appointed as the director of the Statistics Bureau. This can also enrich the experience of the head, and if there is an opportunity in the future, he can be adjusted."

It has to be said that Shen Yaping still values ​​the position of Director of the Finance Bureau very much. At the same time, he also knows that if he wants to get this position, he must obtain Feng Sizhe's consent. Otherwise, he might be taken advantage of by Wang Guoguang. For this reason, he offered the position of Director of the Statistics Bureau to exchange with Feng Sizhe.

As for Le Anshun, when he was the deputy director of the Finance Bureau, Shen Yaping fully supported him in the discussion about the director of the Finance Bureau. However, because the secretary and the mayor at that time had their own candidates, no one succeeded in the end, and the votes supporting no one did not exceed half. This is how Wang Lin, a person without power, influence or background, got promoted. After that incident, Shen Yaping worked hard to transfer Le Anshun out of the Finance Bureau and appointed him as the head of the Statistics Bureau. Shen Yaping was playing a roundabout way to save the country. Of course, he did not give up the position of Finance Bureau director. He had been waiting for an opportunity.

Today, this opportunity has finally come, and of course he will try his best to fight for it.

Feng Sizhe had expected such a result, and now seeing Shen Yaping pointed it out clearly, he knew that the possibility of joining forces with Shen Yaping was not great. He knew Le Anshun, and he was just a flatterer who would please Shen Yaping. He was not very good in terms of real ability and knowledge. If such a cadre really took the position of director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, it would be better for Wang Lin to take the position, because at least Wang Lin himself was not corrupt.

Feng Sizhe did not continue to express his opinions, so his conversation with Shen Yaping actually ended in a bad mood. This is how zz alliances are. Before things are discussed, the two major forces can naturally discuss them, but when it comes to the core points of the interests of both parties, they can no longer reach an agreement.

The news that Feng Sizhe first went to Secretary Wang's office and then to Deputy Secretary Shen's office quickly spread throughout the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Everyone also knew that the position of Director of the Municipal Finance Bureau was going to be replaced. Some well-known "underground" organization departments in Zhuangcheng City began to discuss it, saying that this time the position of Director of the Finance Bureau would be a scene of swords and shadows, and fierce clashes among various forces.

In this matter, the cadres who are familiar with the municipal affairs of Zhuangcheng City guessed correctly. The position of Finance Director is indeed a very sensitive topic. Whether it is Wang Guoguang, Feng Sizhe, or Shen Yaping, they are all determined to get it. For a time, the official atmosphere in Zhuangcheng City became tense, and an invisible smoke of gunpowder had already ignited.

Feng Sizhe lit a cigarette after returning to his office. To be honest, his conversation with Shen Yaping was not very smooth. Feng Sizhe had thought that as long as Shen Yaping supported him this time, he could exchange some deputy director positions in some municipal directly-administered departments with him. It should be considered good for the deputy secretary to have several deputy positions in municipal directly-administered departments. But Shen Yaping really asked for a lot, saying that if he could not give him the position of director of the Finance Bureau, then he could give him the position of director of the Transportation Bureau, or the Audit Bureau, or the Supervision Bureau.

Feng Sizhe got angry when he heard this. These three units are all very important units in the municipal government. The worst one is the Transportation Bureau. However, since many of the future work of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Government is related to highways, the position of the Transportation Bureau will naturally rise, so this position cannot be given up now. As for the Audit Bureau and the Supervision Bureau, these are departments directly managed by the mayor and have always been the mayor's back garden, because they are the trump card to check and balance other departments directly managed by the city. If any unit has problems, these two units can strike with thunder and give them a good show to show the mayor's power.

Not to mention that the Director of the Transportation Bureau, Zheng Xianjin, the Director of the Audit Bureau, He Zhongjun, and the Director of the Supervision Bureau, Wan Shi, have expressed their intention to join Feng Sizhe. He has also investigated these three people and found them to be good and decent people, so he accepted them. This is something that everyone in the city government knows. If any of them is replaced because of a Finance Bureau Director, it will inevitably lead to speculation about oneself. Someone will definitely think that he is incompetent as a leader. Since they have joined you and you have accepted them, why don't you keep them at the critical moment?

Therefore, Feng Sizhe could not accept the conditions proposed by Shen Yaping. As soon as he returned to the office, Feng Sizhe had to smoke alone in depression. Without the support of Shen Yaping, it would be much more difficult for him to get the position of Director of the Finance Bureau this time.

Secretary Liu Fei entered the office carefully and filled Feng Sizhe's teacup with water. "Boss, Secretary Feng called just now and said he wanted to report to you about his work. Please see..."

"Please ask him to come over." Feng Sizhe nodded. A good man needs three helpers. He was at a loss now. Maybe he could listen to Feng Xijun's explanation.

As a member of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Public Security Bureau, it is very rare for Feng Xijun to often come to Feng Sizhe to request work. Of course, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible. After all, the Municipal Public Security Bureau is still a department directly under the municipal government. From this point of view, it is normal for Feng Xijun to come to Feng Sizhe to ask for instructions and report on his work.

"Haha, Mayor Feng, this trip to Kyoto must be very rich." Feng Xijun said to Feng Sizhe with a smile as soon as he entered the office. He had received a call from Lin Gang, the secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, about the Municipal Party Committee's meeting tomorrow to discuss the matter of the director of the Finance Bureau. He also guessed that Feng Sizhe must be very upset, because according to his understanding, Shen Yaping is not so easy to get along with. Just talking about the position of director, I am afraid Shen Yaping will also have some ideas. If so, the problem will be difficult to deal with.

Seeing Feng Xijun coming, Feng Sizhe also stood up from his office chair and accompanied him to the reception area and sat down. "Yes, I met a lot of people when I returned to Kyoto this time. Haha, Mr. Miao is in good health."

Just with this sentence, Feng Sizhe revealed that he had a very good relationship with the Miao family. As time went by since the establishment of the Republic, many old revolutionaries gradually passed away due to health reasons. This made old officials like Miao Lao more important. And all such old people basically had a very regular life. Generally speaking, they would not worry about anything that was not a big deal. Being bothered by trivial matters would only make people feel bad and in poor health. Just like now, not every senior cadre could see Miao Lao if they wanted to. But Feng Sizhe had just stepped into the provincial level. Strictly speaking, he was just a provincial official in name only, but he was actually a municipal official. However, he could easily see Miao Lao, which showed his strength.

"Oh, Mr. Miao is in good health. This is a blessing for our country." Feng Xijun nodded and said happily.

"Yes." Feng Sizhe also nodded. In his impression, Old Miao had always been in good health in his previous life. At least before Feng Sizhe was reborn, he had not heard any rumors that Old Miao was in poor health. This old man was in better health than his own grandfather. He didn't know how he usually kept in good health.
