Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Since the leader had said so, what else could Shengshike say? He immediately nodded and left the office.

Seeing Sheng Shike leave, Lu Guodong snorted. How could he not know who Sheng Shike was? Apart from other things, the financial problems of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in recent years were not small, and Sheng Shike, who was the director of the office at that time, had been involved in many of these things. Maybe this person was not clean in this regard. It was one thing for him to know clearly in his heart, but sometimes he had to speak for such a person. The reason was that everyone knew that Sheng Shike was his man. If he couldn't even protect him, it would be inevitable that others would have opinions about his authority. In this case, it would be much more difficult for him to concentrate the power of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in one person. But he also knew that Feng Sizhe was not a pushover. This kid was very capable. Even if he wanted to intervene in this matter, he had to find a reasonable reason.

In the office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Inspection Group 1, Tang Xiuwei was facing Hua Pengtao, who was sitting very restlessly on his chair.

"I want to appeal, I want to see Deputy Secretary Sheng, he knows me as a person, I want to see..." Hua Pengtao has been restless since he entered the office. He was still shouting there, because he knew that if he didn't shout at this time, he might have no chance if something was really found out.

"Okay, Deputy Director Hua, just save your energy. Do you think shouting like this will help? More than one person saw you being brought here, and I'm sure everyone knows about it. Those who want to speak for you will definitely stand up and speak. On the contrary, those who don't want to speak for you will not do anything because of your shouting. Do you understand?" Tang Xiuwei was persuading Hua Pengtao.

As a former cadre of the Supervisory Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Tang Xiuwei has handled countless cases and seen countless cadres being arrested. When these people are first arrested, they will basically shout and scream about their background and connections. But after a long time, when they see that no one comes to rescue them, most of them become soft and then say whatever they want. So he is not surprised by Hua Pengtao's current behavior.

Hua Pengtao seemed to sense something when he heard Tang Xiuwei say this. "Team Leader Tang, we are old colleagues. You can't just stand by and watch me die. You must save me."

"Haha, I saved you, what did I save you for? Is there really something wrong with you?" Tang Xiuwei sneered. He and Hua Pengtao were colleagues before, but they belonged to different departments and only nodded when they met. There was no friendship at all. Besides, even if there was a friendship, this relationship would be severed. It was not a good thing to have a relationship with a problematic official.

"Of course not, how could there be any problem with me. But Team Leader Tang, you also know that it is all Feng Sizhe's fault that I am in this situation today. Now I'm brought here again, so how can I end up well..." Hua Pengtao hurriedly explained.

"Okay, Deputy Director Hua, Comrade Hua Pengtao, please be careful with your words. This is not what I want to hear now." Tang Xiuwei interrupted Hua Pengtao hastily. He is now Feng Sizhe's subordinate. How can he listen to someone who is saying bad things about his director in front of him?

Hua Pengtao also thought of this at this time, and sighed. "Well, okay, I know you are now in the inspection office and are under his supervision. So, if that's the case, then I have nothing to say. Didn't you say that I have a problem? Well, then please show me the evidence."

After saying these words, Hua Pengtao turned his head away, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. It was obvious that he had made preparations, that is, no matter what you ask, I will not speak. He wanted to use this silent way to resist Feng Sizhe. At the same time, he also believed that Shengshi Ke would not stand by and watch him die, because if he was really pushed to the edge, he would dare to say anything and do anything.

In Feng Sizhe's office, the intercom on the desk rang.

"Hello, I'm Feng Sizhe."

"Hello, Director Feng, I'm Qu Guiyi. How are you? Do you have time? Come to my office." The voice of Qu Guiyi, executive vice secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and secretary of the Central Secretariat, was heard from the other side.

Hearing that it was Qu Guiyi who was looking for him, Feng Sizhe did not dare to neglect it, "Okay, Deputy Secretary Qu, I'll be there right away."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Qu Guiyi didn't say anything more on the phone.

Walking out of his office, Feng Sizhe walked towards the elevator, thinking, what is Qu Guiyi going to do by jumping out at this time? Is he going to intercede for Hua Pengtao? This shouldn't be the case. From what he knows, his relationship with Shengshike is average, and he shouldn't get involved in this mess.

In fact, Qu Guiyi certainly didn't want to get involved in this mess. Feng Sizhe was appointed as the director of the Supervision Office. This was a decision made by the Central Committee. The Central Committee also said that Feng Sizhe could investigate officials at or below the ministerial level. What a great power that is. Would such a person be easy to mess with? However, he had just received a call from Lu Guodong. Secretary Lu asked Hua Pengtao to come forward to solve the problem in the name of being an internal cadre of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. So he had to call Feng Sizhe.

In the office, Qu Guiyi saw Feng Sizhe and he didn't act like a leader. He was a capable person. He was not young anymore. Judging from his age, he would have to retire before he finished his career. So why would he offend anyone before he retired? If Lu Guodong hadn't called him, he would never have cared about this matter.

"Haha, Director Feng, please take a seat." Qu Guiyi smiled and invited Feng Sizhe to sit in the reception area of ​​the office, and then the two of them sat face to face and sipped tea.

"Director Feng, your inspection team has been established for a while, right? How is the work going?" Qu Guiyi was not very familiar with Feng Sizhe. He had spoken for Feng Sizhe before, but that was only because Comrade Qin Xianghua had spoken. His principle of dealing with people was not to offend anyone and to try to smooth things over. Of course, when he was young, he was also very impulsive and motivated, and he had handled many successful cases. Otherwise, he would not be in his current position. It's just that he is older, and his impulsiveness is much less, so he can't be compared.

"It's okay. This stage is mainly about adjustment. Everyone is transferred from various departments. Although we may have known each other before, we are not very familiar with each other after all. When we work together in the future, it will take a familiarization process." Feng Sizhe told the truth.

"Yes, you have to eat one bite at a time and work needs to be done step by step. You have done a good job in this regard." Qu Guiyi said with a smile.

"Deputy Secretary Qu is right." Feng Sizhe also nodded, indicating that he understood this principle.

There was a moment of silence. Qu Guiyi had originally wanted to use this topic to get Feng Sizhe to talk about Hua Pengtao's problem, but Feng Sizhe didn't respond, which made him feel a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative to talk about it.

"Well, Director Feng, this is what happened. I heard that you just took Comrade Hua Pengtao away. Is this true?" Qu Guiyi finally brought up the topic of the conversation.

Feng Sizhe saw that Qu Guiyi had finally come for Hua Pengtao's case, so he nodded and said, "Yes, that's what happened. Someone reported to our inspection office that when Comrade Hua Pengtao went to Qi City, Harbin Province to investigate a case, he accepted a bribe of 800,000 yuan from Zhang Zhong, the then director of the Qi City Transportation Bureau and now the deputy mayor of Qi City. He also presented relevant evidence, so our inspection office handled the case according to the law."

Feng Sizhe knew that he couldn't hide the matter about the case. Putting aside other things, there weren't many people belonging to him in the Inspectorate now, so he needed to explain the reason when interrogating Hua Pengtao. Sooner or later, other people would know about it. So instead of hiding it, he might as well admit it generously. At least it would seem more aboveboard.

"Oh." Qu Guiyi didn't expect Feng Sizhe to tell him what Hua Pengtao had done. In his opinion, Feng Sizhe would keep it a secret first, and then tell him when he couldn't. After all, the Inspectorate has its own powers. It is understandable that some cases are not reported to the department before they are fully understood. This is also one of the work disciplines. But now Feng Sizhe did take the initiative to tell him, which surprised him a little. But accidents are accidents, after all, he is a man who has seen a lot of storms, and he quickly adjusted his mentality. "So that's the case, then I wonder if the evidence is conclusive?"

"Of course this still needs to be investigated. If it is confirmed, I will report the results directly to the department." Feng Sizhe said that the case has not been completely concluded, which is actually normal. All kinds of cases need to be tried, especially bribery cases. This is not like a murder case where the perpetrators can be arrested directly at the scene.

Hearing that Feng Sizhe didn't have enough evidence, Qu Guiyi nodded thoughtfully, "Director Feng, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Please speak, Deputy Secretary Qu." Feng Sizhe knew that this was the stage where the other party was going to persuade him to let go, and he wanted to see how Qu Guiyi would persuade him.

"Well, it's like this. I said all this completely for your sake. Think about it, who is Hua Pengtao? He is a cadre in our department. If he has problems, doesn't that prove that there are problems with the leadership of our department? After all, he is serving the leadership. If something really happens, then we leaders will at least have a responsibility for negligence. Also, everyone knows that you and he had a personal feud in the past, so isn't it inappropriate for you to handle his case? huh?" Qu Guiyi was counseling Feng Sizhe from both public and private perspectives. There was only one meaning in his words, and that was whether Feng Sizhe could show mercy and give him a lighter sentence, or simply hand the case over to someone else.
