Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Knowing that everything he has now was given by Feng Sizhe, Yu Fan naturally respects Feng Sizhe even more.

"Well, just being prepared is not enough. I will make a few requests of you now." Looking at the person he liked, Feng Sizhe decided not to beat around the bush with him and get straight to the point. This was because he treated Yu Fan as his own. Otherwise, if it was someone else, Feng Sizhe would probably not say what he thought.

"Mayor, please speak." Yu Fan answered very seriously, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to the request made by Feng Sizhe.

"Very good. I only have one request, that is, as the director of the Finance Bureau, you must be honest and upright, and you must think more about serving the country, the people, and the public. You must not have any bad thoughts. If you really need money, you can tell me, or at worst you can tell my driver Li Shuang, and he will get it for you. But you must not touch a penny of public money, it is all the country's money. If you do, I'm sorry, not only will I not protect you, but I will be the first person to deal with you, so remember that."

Feng Sizhe values ​​two things when it comes to the requirements for cadres: ability and character. Relatively speaking, character is even more important than ability. After all, as long as a person is not too stupid, he will rise up if given a chance. However, character is innate and not so easy to change. Feng Sizhe has seen many large families and factions in Kyoto. Some faction heads are very upright, but many orders change when they are passed down. Why is this? It is because of their character. Those who are responsible for doing specific things always want to share the benefits from some things. They always think that since they have worked hard, they should share the fruits of victory, otherwise they will suffer losses. It is this bad idea that has changed many people and made them greedy. How can such people be entrusted with important tasks?

It is precisely because of those previous lessons that Feng Sizhe is very careful about the selection of people for the Feng faction. Fortunately, he is just laying the foundation, and he can decide many things through his own investigation. Starting from scratch has its own advantages.

"Yes, mayor, please rest assured that I will never do anything that will harm the country and the people." Yu Fan answered very seriously. In fact, he had known Feng Sizhe long before, and knew that the difference between this leader and other leaders was that he never accepted gifts, and even when eating, he rarely used public funds. Most of the time, he treated his subordinates to dinner. It can be said that this was an alternative in the officialdom. Facing such a leader, Yu Fan was of course very happy, because he didn't have to worry about how to please Feng Sizhe, and didn't have to worry about what kind of gifts to give to the leader during the New Year and other festivals. On the contrary, he only needed to do his job well, and everything would be fine. This was really suitable for Yu Fan, who was a practical man.

Yu Fan took office in this way and became the director of the Finance Bureau of Zhuangcheng City, with a rank of deputy provincial and ministerial level.

With Yu Fan taking office, the political environment and atmosphere in Zhuangcheng City changed. Originally, everyone thought that even if the mayor Feng Sizhe was strong, he would at least need to get to know Zhuangcheng for a while before making his voice heard. But now it seems that only a few days have passed and he has made another big move. For a while, some people who were frustrated or had not yet paid homage to Feng Sizhe began to think about how to find opportunities to contact Feng Sizhe and see if they have a chance to join the Feng faction.

Within three months of Feng Sizhe's arrival in Zhuangcheng City, he took down Wang Zhenhuai, director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, Qi Xincheng, director of the Planning Department of the Municipal Housing Bureau, and Lai Yang, director of the Office of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau. He also supported Yu Fan to become the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau. Now a considerable force has formed around him, which is headed by Feng Xijun, secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, Ji Fatang, member of the Standing Committee, deputy mayor, and Wu Gang, political commissar of the military sub-district, and under them are Deputy Mayor Hua Weimei, Yu Fan, director of the Finance Bureau, He Zhongjun, director of the Audit Bureau, Wan Shi, director of the Supervision Bureau, Zheng Xianjin, director of the Transportation Bureau, and Wang Yawen, deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Government Office.

Among them, the director of the Audit Bureau, He Zhongjun, took the initiative to approach and accepted after Feng Sizhe's inspection. The director of the Municipal Supervision Bureau, Wan Shi, was promoted by Feng Sizhe. The old director just reached retirement age, so he found an opportunity to do the job. In short, Feng Sizhe has now become a new official in Zhuangcheng City, and is the third largest force on par with the municipal party secretary Wang Guoguang and the municipal party deputy secretary Shen Yaping. Even if you calculate carefully, his position will only move forward.

Feng Sizhe's powerful rise naturally brought about a new official atmosphere. For a time, some people who only knew how to work hard seemed to have found their organization. For these people who would not flatter others, their strength was to do their own job well. In the past, due to various reasons of the system itself, no one appreciated them. Now, the appearance of Feng Sizhe has given these people hope and let them know that even if they work hard with their heads down, there will still be people who appreciate them. These people are more motivated.

Feng Sizhe took a fancy to these people and used his power to promote many cadres who had actual working abilities but had not been valued for many years, and arranged them to serve in the Municipal Construction Planning Committee, thus making this unit firmly under Feng Sizhe's control.

By mid-October, new construction work in Zhuangcheng City was in full swing. Many construction companies and road and bridge companies rushed into Zhuangcheng City and began to intensify construction in this city.

Feng Sizhe could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that everything was back on track, he could finally take a break. He hadn't had a good rest for a single day since he came to Zhuangcheng City.

It was Saturday, and Feng Xijun called Feng Sizhe to invite him to go to a hot spring place called Lishui Hot Spring in the suburbs of Zhuangcheng. Feng Sizhe agreed to Feng Xijun's request without thinking too much. After all, Feng Xijun was very supportive of his work after he came to Zhuangcheng. So it was necessary for them to sit together and deepen their relationship when they had time.

Five people in a car drove from Zhuangcheng City to Lishui Hot Spring, more than 100 kilometers away.

There are four people riding in the same car with Feng Sizhe today. In addition to the driver Li Shuang and the secretary Liu Fei, there is also Liu Fei's girlfriend Wang Ling. Now she should be considered Liu Fei's wife. On the National Day, the two had already obtained the marriage certificate. Now all that is missing is a banquet. Liu Fei is also a sensible person. He decided to wait until the work in Zhuangcheng City is on track before holding a banquet, and now he still has to focus on work. Of course, Liu Fei also took into account the party's policy. Late marriage is one of the rules that civil servants must abide by invisibly. So although they have obtained the marriage certificate now, they are thinking of getting married on the National Day next year. By then, the standard for late marriage will definitely be met.

Wang Yawen supported Liu Fei's idea. After all, Liu Fei was no longer the same person he used to be. Although he was still a deputy section chief, his value was much higher than that of a department-level cadre. In addition, Liu Fei and Wang Ling had already obtained a marriage certificate, which made him feel at ease. So what else could he worry about? For this reason, Liu Fei's wedding banquet had not been held, and it was agreed that it would be held at 11 o'clock next year.

As a new wife, Wang Ling looked very happy. She kept chattering in the car and seemed curious about everything. In fact, it was not that she had never been out to play before, but today's trip was different from the past. This was the first time she and Liu Fei had gone out after getting their marriage certificate. It could be regarded as a small honeymoon trip. With the opportunity to travel with the mayor of Zhuangcheng City, her sense of honor was naturally magnified infinitely.

"Sister Ruihua, look at the beautiful colors of the leaves over there." Sitting in the car, Wang Ling pointed out the window and said excitedly.

The Sister Ruihua that Wang Ling mentioned is Wang Ruihua, the current executive deputy director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau.

Maybe because they both have the surname Wang, they get along very well. Wang Ruihua even directly reported to transfer Wang Ling from the municipal government to the Investment Promotion Bureau. This matter was also supported by Wang Yawen and Liu Fei. After all, the couple worked in the same unit, which was somewhat disadvantageous. So with the consent of the two, it would be easy for Wang Ling to go to any unit she wanted. No one in Zhuangcheng would offend Wang Yawen and Liu Fei for a small matter. These two were the people favored by the young Mayor Feng.

"Well, the scenery in October is really beautiful." Wang Ruihua sighed softly. But while she was speaking, she did not forget to glance at Feng Sizhe who was sitting next to her.

Li Shuang was driving an off-road vehicle. The advantage of this type of vehicle is that it has a large space and is more stable when driving. However, even with such a vehicle, it is impossible for the three people in the back seat to not touch each other. For example, Wang Ruihua and Feng Sizhe are sitting next to each other, so their bodies will inevitably touch each other. At the beginning, when the two accidentally touched each other, they would lean back, but Wang Ling, who was sitting by the window, did not think so much. She might have felt a little crowded, so she squeezed Wang Ruihua hard, so that Feng Sizhe was closer to her.

With repeated unintentional physical contact, the two seemed to get used to it, and slowly they no longer resisted, and sometimes they would even ignore the slightest touch. Of course, one cannot judge what the two were thinking by looking at the surface.

Fortunately, except for the driver Li Shuang who was concentrating on driving, the secretaries Liu Fei and Wang Ling were both enjoying the scenery. After all, they were young people, and going out for fun was still very tempting for young people, so they didn't pay attention to Feng Sizhe and Wang Ruihua, which prevented the two from being so embarrassed.
