Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Third, and most importantly, although General Bao has retired, it cannot be said that he has completely retired. At least he should make his voice heard at the right time. And now is the best time. I believe that General Bao will seize this opportunity. As long as Chang Ning becomes the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it means that General Bao still has a lot of say in the appointment of important personnel in the central government. This is very important for stabilizing the morale of some people. If I were General Bao, at least I would never give up such an opportunity.

Feng Sizhe then made three suggestions, all of which were well-founded, and Ding Deren nodded. "Okay, okay, Sizhe, you summarized it very well and thought long-term. After hearing what you said, I have the confidence to report this matter to Mr. Bao."

Ding Deren now had to look at Feng Sizhe, the younger generation, with a new respect. He had previously thought that this matter was simply impossible. When President Bao was in office, he did not care about the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission, let alone after his retirement. But now, after hearing what Feng Sizhe said, he really thought that there was some truth to it.

When Mr. Bao was in office, he offended many people because of his impartiality and dedication to the public, as well as the company's reform path. But he was in power at the time, so naturally everyone had to endure their own ideas. Later, when he retired, the people he promoted naturally had no one to rely on for a while. And now such an opportunity has appeared. In the matter of Chang Ning, if Mr. Bao happens to take the opportunity to speak, he may not only achieve his own demands, but also make his own voice at the right time. This is a very exciting thing. Of course, this only excites some people, that is, those who are loyal to Mr. Bao, but this is enough.

Looking at Feng Sizhe, Ding Deren's eyes were full of joy, because he was the typical representative promoted by President Bao. To put it bluntly, his life now was not so easy. This was of course a big reason for President Bao's retirement. But now the opportunity has come, and it is an opportunity handed over by Feng Sizhe with both hands. It can also be said that this is an opportunity given by a son-in-law to his father-in-law.

"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Bao's house and report this matter to him later." Ding Deren figured out the cause and effect, and after he thought it was feasible, he made the assertion directly.

"Okay, then I will go to see Comrade Wang Zerong, director of the office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection." Feng Sizhe also cooperated.

"Oh, you know Director Wang?" Upon hearing that Feng Sizhe was also friends with Comrade Wang Zerong, Ding Deren's eyes were filled with curiosity. His son-in-law's connections were truly all over the world.

"Haha, when I was working in Lianhua City, Guangxi Province, I had some work contacts with Director Wang, and we got along well." Feng Sizhe nodded and admitted. Of course, he would not talk about some relationships in front of other people, but Ding Deren was not an outsider, so it was a different matter.

"Okay, okay." Ding Deren nodded with satisfaction. Feng Sizhe's work made him feel very relieved. Just like now, he handed over the nomination right to Mr. Bao, but he did not forget to play supporting roles and find connections within the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to make things more successful. This made the matter more certain, which was a good thing.

Finally, they walked out of Ding Deren's house and Ding Dang sent Feng Sizhe out the door. "Brother Sizhe, I'm going to go to Mr. Bao's place with my father. It's Chinese New Year and I haven't paid New Year's greetings yet. I can't lose my manners."

Seeing Ding Dang's reluctant look, Feng Sizhe stretched out his finger and scratched her nose lovingly, "Well, my Ding Dang is the most obedient. You should go to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, and you can't lose your manners. So, in the afternoon, I will let your sister Shasha pick you up, and you can stay at my grandfather's house for dinner tonight."

"So soon?" Ding Dang couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he heard that he would go to meet the Zhao family in a different identity in the evening.

"Well, since we have promised your father, we must strike while the iron is hot, otherwise if your father changes his mind later, things will become complicated." Although Feng Sizhe also knew that this was impossible, from Ding Deren's face, he had already acquiesced to this result, but some things are better to be done early. Besides, there is still too much work for him to do in Zhuangcheng City, and he can't stay in Kyoto for too long during this New Year.

"Okay." Since Feng Sizhe has made the decision, Ding Dang will of course support it. Besides, this is for her own good and it is a move to reassure her.

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

In a teahouse called Qingfeng in Kyoto, Feng Sizhe and Wang Zerong, director of the office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, sat face to face.

Liu Meir, the proprietress of Qingfeng Teahouse, personally brewed tea for the two of them and performed a whole set of very beautiful tea ceremony skills.

"Boss Liu is not only beautiful, but her tea ceremony skills are even more beautiful. There must be no other girl as young as you who can perform such good tea art in Kyoto." Looking at Liu Meir's familiarity with the tea ceremony skills, Feng Sizhe couldn't help but nodded and said. In his previous life, he had also learned knowledge about the tea ceremony in his spare time, but he had never been able to learn it well because he had no talent. Although he was not strong in this area, he did understand some of the tricks here. As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether something is good or not just by showing it. Looking at Liu Meir's skillful technique, Feng Sizhe could be sure that this person must have studied the art of tea ceremony in depth, and it would be impossible to master this skill without three to five years.

"Mayor Feng has a good eye. It seems that you also know something. I learned from the tea master Wang Tianshun, and I went abroad to study because of this." Liu Meier answered Feng Sizhe's words with a smile. In fact, she had just noticed that Feng Sizhe was very concerned about his every move, and occasionally nodded. This was certainly not something that could be faked. This person must be well versed in this.

"No wonder." Hearing Liu Mei'er's words, Feng Sizhe nodded. "It's a pity that Teacher Wang passed away too early, otherwise, I'm sure your skills would have become even better."

"Thank you." After Liu Meir heard Feng Sizhe say that he knew Wang Tianshun had passed away, she became more certain that this man knew something about the tea ceremony.

"Oh, is Sizhe also so good at tea ceremony? It seems that you are really knowledgeable." Wang Zerong, who was sitting opposite Feng Sizhe, finally spoke.

"Haha, I can't say I'm an expert, I just know a little bit." Feng Sizhe said politely. At the same time, he didn't look at Liu Meir, although Liu Meir had a good figure, temperament, and looks, and this kind of woman was indeed unforgettable for men to see, but he still moved his eyes away and stopped looking, because he already felt that this Liu Meir and Wang Zerong must have a story.

As expected, Wang Zerong took the initiative to talk about this matter. "Mei'er was my former student. I'm sure you know that I was once a teacher. Although the time was very short, I did get to know Mei'er."

"Zerong, please stop talking about this. Do you have to bring up my memories?" Liu Meir's eyes widened and she spoke with a melancholy look, as if she didn't want to mention the past.

"Okay, no, no. Anyway, Sizhe is my good friend. He may come to your place often in the future. You have to treat him well." Wang Zerong obviously doted on Liu Meir and agreed to all his requests. But at the same time, he also pointed out that Feng Sizhe was not an outsider, but a good friend of his, just to tell Liu Meir that there were some things that did not need to be hidden from the person in front of her.

Liu Meir nodded, picked up a delicate little tea bowl and said to Feng Sizhe, "Although I am not as old as you, I will imitate Zerong and call you Sizhe. I believe you won't be angry."

"No, Boss Liu, there's no need to be so polite." Feng Sizhe replied with a smile.

"Okay, Sizhe, then come here often when you have time. Although this place is not a comfortable home, it is indeed quiet and it will be very helpful for you to think about things." Liu Meir said to Feng Sizhe with a smile and took a sip of tea at the same time. This is drinking tea instead of wine.

Feng Sizhe naturally picked up the tea bowl to return the favor, and then took a sip along with Liu Meier. Then Liu Meier left tactfully, saying she had something else to do. She probably knew that Feng Sizhe came here just to drink tea.

"Sizhe, you're a little curious, right?" Wang Zerong asked with a smile after watching Liu Meir leave.

"A little bit." Feng Sizhe was not polite. Liu Mei'er looked like she was in her twenties, but Wang Zerong was already nearly fifty years old. How could Feng Sizhe not be surprised by the difference? Of course, he was still somewhat touched that Wang Zerong could arrange to meet him here. This at least proved that he did not treat him as an outsider. Think about it, Wang Zerong told Feng Sizhe everything about his private life, which meant that he was defenseless against Feng Sizhe. This was a good start.

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush in front of other people. When I first met Mei'er, she was just an elementary school student. Her birth was very miserable. Her mother died early, and her father found her a stepmother, who treated her very badly. I still remember that when students went to school, they had to eat lunch at school, and most of them brought their own lunch. Poor Mei'er didn't have lunch every day at noon, because her stepmother didn't prepare it for her. Later, I learned about this situation, and out of pity for her, I began to support her. She studied very hard and her grades were always very good. Later, I liked her very much. But when the next semester started, she did drop out of school, because her family had no money. From then on, I began to support her to go to school. Later, Comrade Guo Renzheng happened to come to the school to inspect the work, and he took a fancy to me, so I entered the system from a people's teacher, but I never forgot Mei'er, and I always supported her to go to school, and habitually transferred some money to her card every year. Until finally, more than ten years later, I was used to taking care of her, and she did return from abroad, appeared in front of me, and said that she liked me. Then we were together."
