Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After talking about Mr. Miao, Feng Sizhe and Feng Xijun lit a cigarette each and sat there for a long time without saying anything. This situation lasted for three minutes, and finally Feng Xijun broke the immersion, "Mayor, have you decided on the candidate for the position of Director of Finance this time?"

What Feng Xijun meant by "have thought it through" was asking Feng Sizhe whether he had decided to replace Wang Lin and whether he had already found a suitable replacement.

"Well, Comrade Yu Fan is now the deputy director of the Finance Bureau, has a doctorate degree, and is a cadre from the Central Ministry of Finance. His qualifications are very suitable." Feng Sizhe also knew that as long as he made a proposal, Feng Xijun would definitely support him at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. But for some things, even if you know the result, you still have to show the minimum respect, such as telling the other party your candidate in advance, so that he can be mentally prepared.

"Oh, Comrade Yu Fan, I know this person, he is not bad." Feng Xijun nodded, and what he said was equivalent to telling Feng Sizhe that he would also support this candidate. In fact, not only Feng Xijun would support it, but also Comrade Wu Gang, the political commissar of the military sub-district, and even Feng Sizhe was confident that the Standing Committee member and Deputy Mayor Ji Fatang would support it. But even so, with Feng Sizhe's own vote, there were only four votes, which was not even half of the number of Standing Committee members, so it was very likely that this resolution would not pass. This was what made Feng Sizhe upset.

Seeing Feng Sizhe still frowning, Feng Xijun chuckled, "Mayor, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's just the position of director of the Finance Bureau. Compared to others, we can't get this position, but the same goes for others. This matter will eventually be handed over to the Provincial Party Committee to resolve, so the root of the problem is not with us."

"The root is not with us?" Feng Sizhe was also stunned when he heard Feng Xijun say this, and then he seemed to think of something and laughed, "Yes, the root is really not with us, haha, Lao Feng, your reminder is good."

"Well, I'm just a bystander who sees things more clearly. If you think about the mayor's wisdom, you can definitely understand it clearly." Feng Xijun smiled and flattered him.

"Well, then, I'll go to the provincial party committee later, hehe." Feng Sizhe said as if he had figured something out.

Seeing that Feng Sizhe had figured it out, Feng Xijun stood up. He came here originally to give some advice, and now that it worked, he should naturally leave.

The day passed quickly. On the next day, at 8:55 am on October 9, in the No. 1 conference room of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee, all twelve members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee were waiting. At 9 o'clock, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Guoguang walked into the meeting room accompanied by his secretary.

After all, Wang Guoguang was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and had been the Secretary of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee for several years. When he entered the meeting room, he still had a sense of solemn authority. At least several members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee half stood up and bowed their heads to greet him.

Wang Guoguang fully demonstrated his authority as the top leader, nodded to everyone, sat down at the first seat, and then said to everyone, "Okay, let's start the meeting now."

Then Lin Gang, the secretary general of the municipal party committee, explained the topic of this meeting to everyone. After he sat down, Wang Guoguang said, "The economic development of a city cannot be separated from the support of finance, and the candidate for the director of the municipal finance bureau is particularly important. He must not only have a calm personality, but also have solid qualifications and a sense of the overall situation. So please express your opinions based on these requirements."

Wang Guoguang started by stating the basic requirements for the candidate for the Finance Bureau Director, in order to tell everyone that if the person you nominate does not meet these requirements, it is better not to mention it, so as to avoid embarrassing yourself later.

Feng Sizhe's mouth curled up when he heard this. It was obvious that Wang Guoguang was targeting Yu Fan, who he nominated. After all, Yu Fan seemed to be the youngest among the three candidates, so he was naturally not stable enough. For this reason, Feng Sizhe was very unhappy with Wang Guoguang's show of power. The secretary was in charge of the hat, and the mayor was in charge of the purse. This was the rule in the industry. If someone wanted to interfere in this matter, Feng Sizhe was confident that he would slap the other person in the face and let him know how powerful he was.

As soon as Wang Guoguang finished speaking, Sun Meiqing, the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, stretched her body and said in her feminine voice, "According to the research and assessment results of the Municipal Organization Department, there are three candidates who basically meet this standard. The first is Comrade Hu Ming, the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, the second is Comrade Le Anshun, the director of the Municipal Statistics Bureau, and the third is Comrade Yu Fan, the deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau. According to the results of the cadre assessment, these three comrades basically meet the standards for the director of the Finance Bureau."

Sun Meiqing used two basic terms in a row, simply to tell everyone that some comrades are not very suitable, but they have to be brought up just to save some people's face.

Obviously, the person who basically meets the requirements must be Yu Fan. Think about it, Hu Ming, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, is obviously the person that Wang Guoguang prefers. He is a deputy department-level cadre, so even if he is appointed as the director of the Finance Bureau, it is considered a lateral transfer. There is also Le Anshun, who is also the head of a bureau and a deputy department-level cadre. In comparison, Comrade Yu Fan is only at the director-level, so his qualifications are slightly insufficient.

Sun Meiqing first roughly read out the results, and then said, "In comparison, the cadre that our Municipal Organization Department prefers is Comrade Hu Ming. This comrade has been working in the Municipal Party Committee Office for many years and has been the deputy secretary-general for five years. Needless to say, his qualifications are excellent, and he also has a broad perspective."

After saying this, Sun Meiqing actually expressed her own attitude, and of course she also spoke for Wang Guoguang.

Hearing what Sun Meiqing said, Shen Yaping's face darkened. He had argued with Sun Meiqing about this matter before. His opinion was that the Organization Department should also give a good evaluation to Comrade Le Anshun. It would be best if Le Anshun was recommended as one of the members recognized by the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. In this way, he would have a better chance of winning this position. However, Sun Meiqing said that the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department could not balance the promotion of cadres. Whoever was suitable was the suitable one. How could they recommend two people at once? This was like slapping herself in the face. So she firmly disagreed.

In a fit of anger, Shen Yaping said to Sun Meiqing, "You can handle it yourself." This somewhat expressed his indignation and anger. But now looking at the result, Sun Meiqing still did not take his words seriously. Although he also mentioned Dong Anshun's name, it was just a matter of official business. Compared with the strong recommendation of Hu Ming, it would be strange if he was not angry.

So as soon as Sun Meiqing finished speaking, Shen Yaping spoke up, "Well, Comrade Hu Ming has enough experience and a broad perspective, but being the head of a municipal bureau is different from being a deputy. Sometimes a decision you make can change a lot of things. In comparison, Comrade Le Anshun has been the director of the Statistics Bureau for two years. His experience in this area is naturally unmatched. So I think Comrade Le Anshun is the most suitable."

Soon, Shen Yaping expressed his views. After saying this, he also sent a provocative look to Sun Meiqing. It was obvious that he meant to tell the other party that you have your characteristics and I have my advantages, and no one can have everything.

Seeing that Sun Meiqing and Shen Yaping had expressed their opinions, Feng Sizhe would be lacking confidence if he did not say something. He immediately coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then said, "The opinions of Secretary Shen and Minister Sun are both very important, and they each have their own reasons, but what I want to say is one thing, that is, different trades are like different mountains. The work of the Finance Bureau is not the same as the work of the Municipal Party Committee Office, nor is it the work of the Statistics Bureau. It is a real job related to finance and money, so I think it is better to have professionals, just like Comrade Yu Fan, who is now the deputy director of the Finance Bureau. He is just right for this role, and in fact, Comrade Wang Lin also recommended this person. Comrade Wang Lin said that among the many jobs of the Municipal Finance Bureau, Comrade Yu Fan has the best work ability and helps him the most. So should we consider this comrade's opinion carefully?"

Normally, when the old director steps down and the new director takes over, the old director still has a lot of say. Feng Sizhe proposed the same opinion to Wang Lin, which is valid in itself and adds points.

"Mayor Feng is right, but compared to the overall situation, isn't Comrade Yu Fan a little bit behind?" Sun Meiqing immediately began to retort.

"The overall situation? I wonder which aspect Minister Sun is talking about?" Feng Sizhe asked with a puzzled look.

"I mean those who have higher-level work experience. For example, Comrade Hu Ming has work experience in the Municipal Party Committee Office, which is in charge of the work of the entire city. Naturally, his vision is much broader than that of a deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau." Sun Meiqing was very angry when she saw Feng Sizhe pretending to know everything, so she decided to make things clear.

"Oh, so this is what Minister Sun is talking about. Then I guess Minister Sun must have checked Comrade Yu Fan's file before. He is a cadre from the Central Ministry of Finance. Then I would like to ask, in terms of the overall situation, who is more suitable?" Facing Sun Meiqing, Feng Sizhe sneered. This woman still wanted to engage in verbal battle with him. In his previous life, Feng Sizhe was a famous social commentator. Many experts in the industry were ashamed in front of him, not to mention Sun Meiqing, a woman who relied on her body and beauty to get to the top.
