Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Now, at the Standing Committee meeting of Zhuangcheng City, Feng Sizhe's side has five votes. With the departure of Tang Jingui, the city party secretary Wang Guoguang only has four votes, which is far from enough to compete with Feng Sizhe. In addition, Feng Sizhe had already reached a consensus with the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee Shen Yaping on this matter. Therefore, this meeting was just a formality. There is no doubt that the person Feng Sizhe favors, the former Luohai mayor Zhao Erhua, has become the new secretary of Luohai City.

Seeing Feng Xijun, Ji Fatang, Hua Weimei, Wu Gang, and people from Shen Yaping's group raising their hands to agree with Feng Sizhe's suggestion, the face of the municipal party secretary Wang Guoguang turned very ugly. It has only been a short time, and Feng Sizhe has become the boss of Zhuangcheng City. Where can he put his face as a member of the Provincial Standing Committee and the municipal party secretary?

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

It was the third day of the first lunar month of the new year, and Feng Sizhe had been back in Kyoto for four days.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Feng Sizhe rushed back to Kyoto from Zhuangcheng City and returned to the Zhao family courtyard to celebrate the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, the Zhao family naturally had a reunion, and this time, the second daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Lishu, who was also Feng Sizhe's second aunt, was finally transferred from Hangzhou City, Jiangxi Province to the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, and became the director of the Popularization Department of the Ministry of Education, with the rank of a full-time department head.

After years of hard work, Zhao Lishu, a woman who never gave up, returned to Kyoto and joined a central government department. It can be seen that the fifty-year-old Zhao Lishu has found her right position this time. As a woman, it is still much more difficult to fight alone in the local area.

Feng Sizhe obviously approved of Second Aunt's choice. Feng Sizhe also had some understanding of Second Aunt. He knew that she was a strong-willed woman, but sometimes being strong-willed was not necessarily a good thing in the officialdom. To stand out in the officialdom, one must have means and background, but more importantly, personal ability and the grasp of some things were the most critical issues. Obviously, Zhao Lishu did not seem to care about this, which was why she worked so hard for so many years to become a director, but Feng Sizhe became a deputy minister in his thirties.

Of course, Zhao Lishu’s matter was just a small matter, or just the Zhao family’s own business, and it could not attract more people’s attention.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Sizhe stayed at the Zhao family for a day, and met many military leaders and local cadres who had good relations with the Zhao family with his grandfather. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Sizhe visited famous families in Kyoto to pay New Year's greetings. Of course, it was just symbolic, and he stayed at each family for more than ten minutes, just going through the motions. Of course, this year Feng Sizhe also had another person to visit, that is, the retired former Prime Minister Comrade Bao Jingguo. Although Feng Sizhe was not a member of the Bao family, they had a very good relationship during their time together, so it was normal to visit each other at this time.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Sizhe and He Shasha returned to the He family together. Returning to one's parents' home on the third day of the Lunar New Year is also a folk custom.

The He family certainly attached great importance to the return of their vice-ministerial son-in-law. He Shasha's father also returned to Kyoto from the Central Plains Military Region. At the He family, He Shengli and Li Qiujuan were waiting for Feng Sizhe together, which showed how much honor they gave him.

Although Feng Sizhe has more than one woman like He Shasha, He Shengli and Li Qiujuan also know this. It is impossible to say that they had no emotions at the beginning, but they saw that Feng Sizhe was still very good to his daughter no matter how he changed, so they became relieved. After all, He Shasha can no longer have children, which is a very critical issue. The Zhao family cannot be without descendants, and they can also understand this feeling.

In front of He Shengli and Li Qiujuan, Young Master Feng was naturally very honest, always insisting on the etiquette of a junior, and had no airs of a deputy ministerial leader at all. Just then, a call came to He Shengli, so he stood up to answer the phone. In this way, Feng Sizhe was facing only his mother-in-law Li Qiujuan.

"Xiaozhe, you did a great job in Zhuangcheng City. Especially in dealing with those actions of your Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, you were very calm and composed. Not bad, really not bad." Li Qiujuan looked at Feng Sizhe like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law; the more she looked, the happier she was.

"Mom, this is a problem with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. It's not that complicated, but they just like to hold on to small things. This is their own problem and has nothing to do with Sizhe." He Shasha defended her husband Feng Sizhe. Although Feng Sizhe easily dealt with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, as an official, he still designed a Commission for Discipline Inspection department, which is indeed shameful or unacceptable to most cadres.

"Haha, you feel bad when I say something to your husband, but you have to listen carefully. I'm not criticizing him, I'm praising him." Li Qiujuan couldn't help but smile as she looked at her daughter's coquettish look.

"Alright, how can you praise someone like that? You were obviously reminding Sizhe not to do this again in the future because it has a bad influence. But you said it in a praising tone. For those of you who are in the system, your words cannot be understood superficially." He Shasha naturally said whatever she wanted in front of her mother without having to think too much.

Feng Sizhe just chuckled when he heard this. He didn't want to say much about his plan to frame the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. It was not a glorious thing in itself. If it weren't for the situation in Luohai City and if he hadn't offended Zhang Hai, he would not have used Zhang Sai to take photos and played such a trick. As the saying goes, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. In order to prevent Zhang Hai from retaliating against him, he had to take the initiative. Now it seems that the result is very good, because of this incident, Zhang Hai's influence in Zhongzhou Province has been severely hit, and it is said that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is preparing to replace him.

Originally, Feng Sizhe came to the He family with the intention of getting some information from his mother-in-law, Li Qiujuan. Now that this matter happened to be brought up, Feng Sizhe showed an expectant look.

Li Qiujuan noticed her son-in-law's expression and smiled, "Xiaozhe, are you curious about what kind of person the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will send to your Zhongzhou Province next?"

"Yes, Mom." Feng Sizhe answered with certainty. In front of his mother-in-law, he didn't need to act profound or scheming.

"Well, you know that this matter is indeed controversial within the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. You also know that the current secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is Lu Guodong, and your Zhongzhou Province governor is Tang Chengwei, who was once a secretary that Mr. Wen valued very much. Your Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Zhang Hai is Tang Chengwei's man, and the Lu and Wen families have always had a good relationship, and they are also in-laws. It can be imagined that Secretary Lu doesn't really want to move Zhang Hai, but now that something like this has happened, it's unlikely that he won't want to move. Besides, Secretary Lu is very opinionated on such a big matter. This is not something that can be solved by political exchanges and interests. Discipline Inspection Commission cadres must have an original heart, which is the foundation of the party. Therefore, it is a certain fact that Zhang Hai will move to another position, but who will take over is still under discussion in the department." As expected of the director of the Cadre Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, when he analyzes these things, he is really well-informed and takes all factors into consideration.

"If Zhang Hai is taken down, Tang Chengwei's status and voice in Zhongzhou Province will be shaken. In order to avoid this from happening, I think the ministry should give full consideration to this matter and take Governor Tang's feelings into consideration." After thinking about it, Li Qiujuan explained the attitude of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection towards the Zhang Hai incident.

"Mom, if that's the case, it's just a change of name." He Shasha said as soon as she heard it. She knew very well that if someone from Tang Chengwei's faction was replaced as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, it would definitely put some pressure on her husband. Even if they wanted to save face, they would not be nice to Feng Sizhe.

Only He Shasha would blurt out these words so hastily. Hearing his wife's concern for him, Feng Sizhe just smiled and didn't say much.

"Xiaozhe, what do you think?" Obviously, Li Qiujuan attached great importance to Feng Sizhe's opinion, but did not care about her daughter's words. What does it mean to change the soup but not the medicine? This kind of words can only be said at home. If you say it in front of outsiders, who knows how many people you will offend privately.

"Mom, this kind of thing is something the leaders need to consider. I think I'd better not offer any opinions." Feng Sizhe was very cautious. His many years of official career taught him that there are some things that can only be thought about but not said, otherwise one will get into trouble.

"Hey, this is at home, just a chat between our family members, it's no problem." Li Qiujuan encouraged Feng Sizhe to speak. Perhaps in her heart she had already regarded Feng Sizhe as an important figure, and she really wanted to hear what Feng Sizhe had to say about this matter.

"Okay, since Mom must listen, then I'll talk about it. I personally think that no matter who is replaced as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, the most important thing is that this person must be upright. Although the economy of Zhongzhou Province is not very developed, in fact, all kinds of relationships are indeed complicated. This can be seen from the fact that Secretary Guan is in charge of the provincial secretary, but he cannot fully control the provincial standing committee. It can be said that the local faction, the outside faction, the reform faction, and the interest faction are intricately intertwined together, so the position of the Secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission is crucial. The new secretary must not be disturbed by the outside world and must be able to fully and independently play his own advantages. Of course, it would be best if he could be a local cadre of Zhongzhou Province. After all, understanding the local situation will also help him make the most correct decision at the most critical time."

Feng Sizhe spoke for a long time just to express one point, that is, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection should preferably be a local cadre from Zhongzhou Province. This would effectively save time in understanding the situation in Zhongzhou Province, which would be very helpful in quickly getting into work and effectively deterring those illegal officials.
