Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Hello, Minister Mao, hello, Minister Mao. Come, please take a seat." As the secretary brought tea, Fu Yuqiang and Mao Shiming sat opposite each other in the reception area.

Mao Shiming first took a sip of tea and nodded, as if he felt the tea was good. Then he looked up at Fu Yuqiang. Seeing the other's excited face, he chuckled and said, "Mayor Fu, I have been too busy with work recently, so I have reported to you less frequently. I hope you don't take it to heart."

"Hey, what are you talking about, Minister Mao? Although I am the mayor, you are indeed my elder brother in terms of age. Besides, Zhuangcheng City is your base camp. You have worked here for so many years. Naturally, there are many things I need to learn. How can I talk about reporting to you?" Fu Yuqiang really didn't want to put on airs in front of Mao Shiming. Now he was a lonely man with no power. Even if he was the mayor, so what? He had no power and influence. He couldn't scare others with this position alone.

"Haha, it's rare that Mayor Fu is so magnanimous. In fact, I have been busy with a big thing during this period of time." As if he wanted to deliberately attract Fu Yuqiang's attention, Mao Shiming had no intention of continuing after saying this.

"What is Minister Mao busy with?" Fu Yuqiang really continued to say this. It can be seen that he is interested in this matter. At the same time, he also felt that this matter must be related to him, otherwise why would he say it in front of him? If it has nothing to do with it, why bother talking about it?

Seeing Fu Yuqiang even put his head in front of him to ask these questions, Mao Shiming felt very satisfied. He just wanted to attract the other party's attention. Of course, he was happy when the other party really paid attention to him. "Well, Mayor Fu, you know that I, Mao Shiming, have been working in Zhuangcheng for some years. I know a lot of people in various departments, which makes it much easier to get things done."

"That's right. Minister Mao is a veteran in Zhuangcheng City. Who wouldn't give you face?" Fu Yuqiang agreed.

"Yeah." Seeing Fu Yuqiang know this, Mao Shiming was even happier. Although he was not young, he was only 55 years old. If possible, he could still make further progress. If he worked hard, he could be promoted half a level. It was not impossible. Because there were still requirements, he approached Fu Yuqiang as soon as he arrived in Zhuangcheng. That was because he had inquired very clearly that Fu Yuqiang was a member of the Qin family and had been the leader of Qin Tian, ​​the crown prince of the Qin family. Mao Shiming was a bit old, so he naturally wanted to attract more attention from others, especially if he was related to a big family. The possibility was much lower. Think about it, why would people spend so much effort to help someone who was about to retire? So he set his sights on Fu Yuqiang, who was favored by the Qin family, thinking that if he could get along well with this person, then he might be able to get along with the Qin family through this relationship, so that he would have a much greater chance of getting promoted. After a long time in the officialdom, he knew too well the mentality of having someone in the court to be an official.

"It's like this, Mayor Fu, I used some connections to check out what's going on at the Municipal Party Committee, and I finally figured it out. It turns out that Deputy Secretary He Jianzheng has completely sided with Secretary Feng, and the reason is just one. Secretary Feng condoned Deputy Secretary He's son in helping Hengfa Real Estate to make money, and the condition was that Deputy Secretary He had to fully support Secretary Feng's work." After keeping the secret for quite some time, Mao Shiming finally said what he wanted to say.

"What?" Fu Yuqiang was stunned after hearing this. He had been wondering why He Jianzheng suddenly supported Feng Sizhe's work so much. He had also called He Jianzheng about this matter, but the other party's answer was that he had his own purpose and asked Fu Yuqiang to rest assured. At that time, he thought that He Jianzheng was playing some strategy. Now it seems that it is not the case at all. It was just a means for others to deceive him. It turns out that he had already climbed up the big tree.

After hearing this, Fu Yuqiang couldn't help but feel a little angry. This He Jianzheng was really something. If he really wanted to get close to him, he could just tell him. Was there any need to lie to him like this? Did he think of himself as a three-year-old child? Was this fun?

Seeing Fu Yuqiang's angry expression, Mao Shiming was quite satisfied. "Haha, Mayor Fu, in my opinion, there is nothing to be angry about. Everyone has the right to choose their lifestyle. Deputy Secretary He has the right to do this. In fact, I think this is a good thing."

"Good thing? How do you mean?" Fu Yuqiang asked in confusion.

"Hehe, it's hard to say. People like He Jianzheng will never achieve anything great. This day will happen sooner or later, and it's better to happen sooner rather than later. What's more, this matter is somehow related to Secretary Feng. I personally think this is a good opportunity." Mao Shiming said as if he had seen through the matter a long time ago.

"Good news. What do you mean? Tell me in detail." Fu Yuqiang also perked up. He could sense that Mao Shiming had something else in his words.

"What? Mayor Fu still doesn't understand? The current He Jianzheng is no longer the previous He Jianzheng. He has forgotten everything in order to make money. He has thrown aside the mission, task, and even the principles of party spirit. Such a person will speak for whoever has the power and can give him convenience, so you can't expect anything from such a person. Similarly, Secretary Feng has become an official who turns a blind eye in order to return the favor and thank He Jianzheng for his sympathy. How can such a secretary be beneficial to the development of our Zhuangcheng City? Therefore, this is equivalent to creating opportunities for you, Mayor Fu." Mao Shiming became more and more excited as he spoke. He believed more in what he said. Fu Yuqiang should understand it very well.

Fu Yuqiang certainly understood that he was not afraid of stabbing He Jianzheng in the back, but was Feng Sizhe so easy to deal with? If he managed to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice, he would be in big trouble. "Minister Mao, I think we need to think about this matter carefully."

"What are you still hesitating about. I've thought about this matter. If it's just based on what He Jianzheng did, Feng Sizhe is nothing more than a leadership responsibility, and nothing serious can happen. So it's basically impossible to take him down this time. In other words, we don't want to take him down, because even if we take him down, you can't take over smoothly now, right? For this reason, this time we're just giving him a warning to make him behave, but He Jianzheng must be taken down. This man has now become a dog of the other side. If he is not disciplined and allowed to continue to act like this, it will be you, Mayor Fu, who will be bitten in the future." When saying this, Mao Shiming's eyes were red. Why did he do this? There was a reason.

A while ago, Mao Shiming did intend to distance himself from Fu Yuqiang. Yes, he thought about taking advantage of this relationship to get a better chance, but he was very familiar with the situation in Zhuangcheng City. Seeing that Fu Yuqiang had not been able to gain any advantage for several consecutive times, he was a little disappointed. This disappointment made him decide to stay away from Fu Yuqiang. He didn't want to cause Feng Sizhe to misunderstand him. If so, it would probably result in him being at a disadvantage before he was ready to move up a level. That would be really unfair. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that Feng Sizhe would not be able to do anything to Qin's Fu Yuqiang, and would instead turn his anger on himself. If that happened, he would be miserable.

Mao Shiming, who had already made preparations, moved further away from Fu Yuqiang, but he never expected that He Jianzheng would start to find fault with him. Someone said that there were financial problems with the Municipal United Front Work Department, so soon the Municipal Party Committee inspection team, led by He Jianzheng himself, came to the United Front Work Department and began to check the accounts.

Having been the deputy minister for several years and the minister for several years, it was absolutely impossible for Mao Shiming to have a clean bottom, so he was very worried. Of course, he had tried to communicate with other members of the group, but they all said that this time He Jianzheng was the leader and they had something to talk to the leader. When he really came to He Jianzheng, this person actually acted with him, saying that this matter was the instruction of Secretary Feng and he was powerless. Listening to these explanations, he cursed in his heart, "Bullshit." If Feng Sizhe wanted to deal with him, would he still need to use the method of checking the accounts? Besides, he didn't deal with him for such a long time, and now he was getting further and further away from Fu Yuqiang, and he was checking himself instead. Could it be that he was sick?

Therefore, in Mao Shiming's opinion, He Jianzheng simply wanted to deal with him and wanted to gain credit in front of Feng Sizhe, so he just found an excuse.

Mao Shiming was very angry and thought of Fu Yuqiang. Maybe Mayor Fu could deal with He Jianzheng. As long as He Jianzheng had problems, the municipal party committee's inspection team would withdraw. After all, the leader had been punished. Would the others still target him? With this in mind, he had to come to the municipal government and made up a lot of nonsense in front of Fu Yuqiang. He said a thousand things just for one thing, which was to get He Jianzheng out of office. He thought that this was He Jianzheng's way of showing loyalty in front of Feng Sizhe, so he attacked him. Why? It's very simple. He couldn't do anything with Fu Yuqiang. He was not as strong as him, so he wanted to deal with him.

Mao Shiming was a bit clever, but he never expected that this was exactly one of Feng Sizhe's schemes. This was what Feng Sizhe needed. He also disliked He Jianzheng and wanted to take him down, but it was inconvenient for him to do it himself, so he came up with this dog-eat-dog strategy. So he found He Jianzheng and said that someone had complained about the accounting problems of the United Front Department, and hoped that He Jianzheng could personally lead a team to check it out.
