Rebirth of the Rising Sun

When the highway traffic police arrived, they did not know Wang Shizhong's identity at first. They just saw 2 million yuan in cash in the trunk of the car while investigating the scene.

Who would go out with so much cash? This attracted the attention of the traffic police. After investigation, they found out that this was the mayor's car. Because there was so much cash in the car, and because the traffic police did not know the identity of the car at the time, and because so many people gathered at the scene to watch the excitement, no confidentiality measures were taken. As a result, the news spread and it got bigger and bigger. At that time, the Internet was already popular all over the country, and such a thing was exposed on the Internet. By the time the people from the Propaganda Department wanted to stop it, it was too late. The number of people and the scope of people who knew about it were already very large and wide.

For a time, rumors spread that Wang Shizhong was a corrupt official and that he went to the province to give gifts to the leaders to gain connections. This statement, which was more in line with people's imagination, soon prevailed. In order to find out the truth of the matter, the central government decided to let the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection intervene in the matter. At the same time, several leaders specifically asked Feng Sizhe to handle this matter. Perhaps in their opinion, this young man was very efficient and they were relieved to hand over such a case to him.

Under such circumstances, Feng Sizhe and Lu Xingye went straight to Sanxiang Province. Seeing Feng Sizhe looking at the information so seriously, Lu Xingye said, "Director Feng, is this difficult? Don't worry, when we get to Huaijiang City, I will fully cooperate with you."

Feng Sizhe didn't believe that Lu Xingye would cooperate with him. The two of them were mortal enemies. Because of the relationship with the Wen family, Feng Sizhe's situation with the Lu family was not much better. It was not an exaggeration to say that water and fire could not mix. For this reason, Feng Sizhe just smiled and did not take Lu Xingye's words to heart.

But what Feng Sizhe could not have imagined was that after they first arrived at the Sanxiang Provincial Party Committee and met with the relevant people, and then after the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department sent people to follow them to Huaijiang City to announce that Lu Xingye would take office as acting mayor, those people really cooperated with his work very well, and even praised Feng Sizhe greatly in his speech at the beginning of his term of office, and stated that any department of the municipal government would safely cooperate with Feng Sizhe in the next work.

At first, Feng Sizhe didn't understand why Lu Xingye did this. He wondered if he did it on purpose to give people the impression that he was very generous and to gain points in front of the central leaders. But after observing for a while, Feng Sizhe found that it was not the case at all. He had his own ideas.

In the temporary office allocated by Huaijiang Province to the Inspectorate, Secretary Yin Fenglei brought a stack of documents and placed them on the table. "Boss, the Huaijiang Municipal Government Office is really supportive of our work. Look, these are the materials they have sorted out about Wang Shizhong."

Seeing another pile of documents placed on his desk, Feng Sizhe smiled, "Well, they really support our work. I think Comrade Liu Tong should come over as well."

"What?" Yin Fenglei asked with his head tilted, as if he didn't understand what the boss meant.

"Haha, nothing, just continue working." Feng Sizhe didn't want to explain.

Ten minutes before the end of the workday at noon, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the office. Then Yin Fenglei knocked on the door and walked into the office, "Boss, Secretary Liu Tong is really here."

The reason why I used the word "really" is because Yin Fenglei really admires his leader. He said in the morning that Liu Tong would come, but he didn't expect that it would come true in just a short time.

"Really? Then please let him in." Feng Sizhe nodded with a smile. Obviously, he had already prepared for Liu Tong's arrival.

Then a middle-aged man in his forties walked in. When he saw Feng Sizhe, his face was full of smiles. "Director Feng, hello, you are still working. Oh, you are so dedicated. You are really a role model for us to learn from."

Listening to Liu Tong's somewhat flattering words, Feng Sizhe smiled and said, "No, this is what I should do. You don't know that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection calls me every few days. I am under a lot of pressure."

When Liu Tong heard the words "Central Commission for Discipline Inspection", his face was obviously nervous, but he quickly recovered. "Haha, yes, the central government attaches so much importance to our Huaijiang City, and I also feel a lot of pressure. But people are iron and steel, and they will be hungry if they don't eat. I think revolutionary work must be done, but meals must also be eaten, and a combination of work and rest is a must. How about letting me treat Director Feng to a simple meal at noon, and let me, the landlord, show my gratitude. What do you think?"

"Haha, you know what, now that Secretary Liu mentioned that, I really feel a little hungry." Feng Sizhe looked as if he completely agreed with the other party.

Liu Tong was very happy to hear Feng Sizhe agreed so readily. "Haha, OK, then please move over, Director Feng. I'll wait for you outside the door."

Feng Sizhe's rank was deputy minister, and although Liu Tong was the secretary of the Huaijiang Municipal Party Committee, he was only at the level of a full-time department head, so he was considered a lower-level cadre, so it was reasonable for him to wait for Feng Sizhe. It took about ten minutes for Feng Sizhe to sort out everything and followed Liu Tong to the Huaijiang City Hotel.

Feng Sizhe followed Liu Tong and this scene was seen by a city government employee not far away. He quickly found a deserted place and called Acting Mayor Lu Xingye to report the matter.

When Lu Xingye heard the news, he was not angry at all. On the contrary, he was quite happy. "Okay, I get it. You've worked hard." After saying that, he hung up the phone with a smile. Very good, it was necessary to use Feng Sizhe to give Liu Tong a good beating.

In the hotel, Feng Sizhe and Liu Tong had a very pleasant conversation, and they even felt that they had met too late. Liu Tong kept toasting Feng Sizhe with glasses of wine.

Feng Sizhe was already quite drunk, and he accepted Liu Tong's enthusiasm without hesitation. He drank a lot of wine in a short while. Afterwards, under the influence of alcohol, Feng Sizhe said, "Secretary Liu, Wang Shizhong's case is very troublesome. Why does a mayor carry so much cash when he goes out? Also, as a mayor, his personal income is limited, so how could he have these two million? The central government is very concerned about this matter. This time I came here to investigate this matter. If there is any place where I need Secretary Liu's assistance, please give me a green light."

"Of course, of course. To be honest, as the secretary, I have some responsibility for this matter, but you also know that the municipal party committee and the municipal government are two departments. Although the party leads everything, the municipal government still has a lot of autonomy. So I can't interfere with Wang Shizhong's daily work. Alas, no one could have thought that something like this would happen."

On the surface, Liu Tong acknowledged that he had leadership responsibilities, but in the following words he completely pushed his own responsibilities away and also stated that he and Wang Shizhong were not of the same mind. These words were telling Feng Sizhe that Wang Shizhong is Wang Shizhong and I, Liu Tong, am Liu Tong, and they cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

"Yes, I agree with what Secretary Liu said. I also reported this to the central government. But for some reason, the higher-ups seemed to have heard something. They said that as the secretary of the municipal party committee, the real top leader, you often have individualistic working habits and often try to tackle the work of both the municipal party committee and the municipal government at the same time." Feng Sizhe smiled and revealed the central government's intention.

Upon hearing these words, Liu Tong hurriedly shook his head, "Oh my, Director Feng, who is spreading rumors about me? Aren't you trying to harm me? Think about it, democracy is being emphasized everywhere now. Although I am the secretary of the municipal party committee, I should lead by example."

"Yes, that's what you say, but I heard that even now Secretary Liu is still very concerned about the work of the municipal government, right?" Feng Sizhe looked drunk, as if he was just saying these words casually.

"Ah, this..." Liu Tong's eyes quickly turned a few times, and then he said, "Hey, isn't it because Mayor Lu just arrived? So I was afraid that he didn't understand the situation, so I said a few more words. What's the matter? Isn't it because the central government has some opinion of me about this matter?"

"Well, it's hard to say. Haha, you know, we have disciplines." When Feng Sizhe said this, he looked drunk, and it seemed as if he said these things unintentionally.

Feng Sizhe's expression was very casual, as if he was really drunk, but Liu Tong's face was really ugly now. Obviously, he thought that the central government would have an opinion of him, all because of what Lu Xingye said to the higher-ups. Thinking about Lu Xingye's background, Liu Tong became more and more angry. What's the matter? You just came to Huaijiang City and you want to compete with me? Aren't you too ambitious? If I back down now, you will have to shit on my neck in the future. "

At this moment, Liu Tong's expression was very angry. Feng Sizhe was very happy to see all this. All along, the Lu family had always made things difficult for him, forcing him to defend himself. Now that he had the chance, if he didn't fight back, wouldn't it be impolite to not reciprocate?

As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Liu Tong suddenly convened a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee to arrange some major events in the city. In the work arrangement, he deliberately weakened Lu Xingye's work scope. The reason was that Mayor Lu had just arrived and everything was still in the process of understanding, so it was normal not to give him any pressure.
