Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Listening to Qu Guiyi's words, Feng Sizhe laughed, "Deputy Secretary Qu, first of all, I want to thank you for your kindness. Yes, you are right. I used to have some conflicts with Hua Pengtao at work, but this does not mean that I am unfair in handling cases. Since I entered politics, I have been very clear about what is public and what is private. I have never retaliated against anyone because of the power in my hands. You can check my work history and the evaluation of me by the organization departments at all levels, so this is not a problem at all. And you mentioned that the leadership failed to supervise. I think this is nothing at all. To use the words often said by the common people, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. It is impossible that there will be no problems in our department. On the contrary, if there is a problem, can we face it correctly? This is the most important thing, especially for our Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Problem cadres should be dealt with seriously, and we should set an example for other ministries and provinces."

After saying these words, Feng Sizhe smiled again, "Based on the above two points, I think this case should be handled by our Inspection Office. I'm not afraid of Deputy Secretary Qu laughing at me, this is the first case our Inspection Office has taken. If we just hand it over to someone else, won't it cause discussion? Others will think we are just a show-off. If we hand over cases to others, who will hand over cases to us in the future? So please understand us, Deputy Secretary Qu."

Feng Sizhe's words can be said to fully explain what Qu Guiyi had just said. With this explanation, Qu Zhengyi really couldn't say anything else.

"Well, what you said does make sense. Okay, let's do it this way for now. I just hope that this matter can be resolved quickly. If there is a problem, then do what you should do. If there is no problem, then release the person. You should know that this matter will definitely have some unnecessary impact. For the sake of the overall stability, you know what I mean." Qu Guiyi saw that Feng Sizhe was determined to deal with Hua Pengtao, so he decided not to say anything. Anyway, he promised Lu Guodong that he would just give it a try, and he didn't say that it would succeed.

"Of course, I have handed this matter over to a team, and I believe there will be results soon." Feng Sizhe nodded confidently. It can be said that the first team of the inspection office is the most capable department in the inspection office. If the matter is handed over to them, I believe there will be an answer soon.

Soon after Feng Sizhe came out of Qu Guiyi's office, Secretary Lu Guodong learned the reason why Hua Pengtao was arrested. Later, Sheng Shike also learned the truth.

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

In the evening, outside the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection building, Tang Xiuwei, the head of the first group of the inspection office, did not leave work until 8 pm. He confronted Hua Pengtao for a long time, but unfortunately, the other party still did not say a word.

Tang Xiuwei walked out of the building and was still thinking about what method he would use to deal with Hua Pengtao tomorrow, when an Audi A8 stopped in front of him.

The car window slowly opened, revealing Sheng Shike's face. "Comrade Tang Xiuwei, did you just get off work?"

Seeing that it was Sheng Shike, Tang Xiuwei immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Deputy Secretary Sheng, I just got off work."

"Haha, you are such a dedicated cadre. Come on, I just got off work, why don't I give you a ride." Sheng Shike smiled and invited Tang Xiuwei to get in his car.

Tang Xiuwei didn't expect Shengshike to let him get in the car, and he couldn't help but hesitate, because he knew his current identity too well. To put it bluntly, he is now the organizer of the Hua Pengtao case, and Hua Pengtao is a subordinate of Shengshike, so he should stay away from this person.

"What? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Seeing Tang Xiuwei hesitating and not wanting to get in the car, Sheng Shike's face showed displeasure, and his voice became much colder.

"Oh, no, of course not." Tang Xiuwei saw that Sheng Shike was a little angry, and hurriedly explained. He was a member of the Standing Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. How could he afford to offend such a person?

"Since it's not you, get in the car. I have something to tell you." Sheng Shike decided not to be polite anymore and gave the order directly in the tone of a superior.

Sheng Shike had said so, if Tang Xiuwei didn't get in the car, he would be shameless. Thinking that the other person held the power of life and death over his future, he had no choice but to get in the car.

In the Audi car, the driver turned up the car speakers very loudly, so the driver would definitely not be able to hear what was being said in the back seat.

After getting in the car, Tang Xiuwei discovered that Shengshike’s new secretary was not there. In other words, this time he was asked to come to discuss private matters, probably because he didn’t want more people to know.

"Team Leader Tang, I don't like to beat around the bush. I might as well be straight with you. I hope you can let go of the issue regarding Comrade Hua Pengtao. Do you understand?" Sheng Shike expressed his thoughts as soon as Tang Xiuwei got in the car.

"Ah?" Tang Xiuwei didn't expect Sheng Shike to be so straightforward and state his purpose directly. He became very embarrassed. He could not answer yes or no.

Without waiting for Tang Xiuwei to give an answer, Sheng Shike continued, "Of course, I won't let you do this in vain. I also know how you got into the Inspectorate, and I've read your resume. From your personal perspective, you should be able to work in a more important position after some training. And when the time comes, I will fully support you and ensure that it will be as you wish. What do you think?"

This was the condition that Shengshike offered, that is, as long as Tang Xiuwei gave Hua Pengtao some slack in his case, he would do his best to help him get promoted. This was a win-win strategy.

Sheng Shike's frank words made Tang Xiuwei lively. He entered the Inspectorate at the level of a deputy director, and his level did not change after entering. Everything was just as Sheng Shike said. He entered the Inspectorate to gild himself. He was originally a man of Deputy Secretary Chen Cui, and Chen Cui was about to retire due to age. It would be a matter of one or two years soon. If his backer withdrew, it would be even more difficult for Tang Xiuwei to make further progress. For this reason, he had to work hard at this stage. Originally, he was thinking about making efforts in the Hua Pengtao case. As long as he had meritorious performance, Chen Cui would find an opportunity to speak for him. In that case, it would not be impossible for him to enter the main directorate. But now Sheng Shike suddenly came out, so he had to change his original idea.

Tang Xiuwei, who had worked in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for many years, could not be unaware of who Sheng Shike was. This person was a favorite of Secretary Lu. If he offended this person, it was conceivable that his career path would be very difficult in the future. Even if he had the opportunity to be promoted to the main office, he would probably not have a good position. If he was to be troubled by others everywhere, his situation would probably be even more difficult.

Seeing Tang Xiuwei not speaking for a long time, Sheng Shike smiled and said, "Team Leader Tang, I don't make promises easily. On the contrary, once I make a promise, I will keep it. This is how I take care of my friends. Of course, for those who don't regard me as a friend, I also have many ways to get along with them. Do you want to try it?"

"No, no." Hearing that Sheng Shike wanted to treat him as an enemy, Tang Xiuwei immediately shook his head. He was just a deputy department-level cadre. Asking him to treat a deputy secretary of a department as an enemy was like throwing an egg against a stone. This was not what he wanted.

"Very good, Team Leader Tang, become my friend. I promise you will be able to thrive in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the future." Seeing that Tang Xiuwei did not refuse to be his friend, Sheng Shike laughed. Before coming, he was also full of confidence. He was confident that he could convince Tang Xiuwei. This person was not Feng Sizhe's best friend. He just came to the Inspectorate. If he added his backer, he would retreat in no time. How could he not think about his future? As long as he had an idea, this matter would be easy to handle.

The most fearful thing about a person is that he has nothing to desire. As long as he desires something, he will have weaknesses, and weaknesses are easy to control.

After the two reached a preliminary agreement, Tang Xiuwei spoke up. "Deputy Secretary Sheng, Hua Pengtao's case is a bit tricky. Judging from Director Feng's attitude, he seems to have determined that there is a problem. Unfortunately, I don't even know where the problem lies."

Tang Xiuwei was telling the truth. Although he was the chief judge of Hua Pengtao's case, he actually didn't know what Hua Pengtao had done. This was because he didn't completely gain Feng Sizhe's trust, and secondly, Feng Sizhe did it on purpose. He just wanted to suppress Hua Pengtao's momentum first, and then use his trump card when the other party was panicking.

"Haha, I have figured this out. Hua Pengtao's main problem was the transportation corruption case he investigated in Qi City, Harbin Province. At that time, he went to investigate Zhang Zhong, the director of the Qi City Transportation Bureau. This was also the task assigned to him by the Ministry at the time. However, after he arrived there to investigate, he found that it was just an unjust case. Who knew that a few years later, Feng Sizhe turned the case back. From what I know, Comrade Zhang Zhong has been taken to Kyoto, but I don't know where he is staying."

All the things Sheng Shike said were investigated by himself after he learned the basic situation from Lu Guodong. With his identity, he could get the news by just calling his friends in Harbin Province.

After hearing this, Tang Xiuwei was impressed by Sheng Shike's ability. He thought that he was indeed the deputy secretary, and he knew more than himself, the case organizer. But he had another question, "What does Deputy Secretary Sheng want me to do?"
