Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After the meeting, Lu Xingye was the first to leave the meeting room with a sullen face. Even though he had a strong tolerance, this meeting was still unbearable for him.

Think about it, this time Liu Tong was openly suppressing me, and even made me an outsider in the meeting on the grounds that I was young and had no grassroots work experience.

What is a mayor? He is the second-in-command of a city and the big brother of the municipal government. He must have a lot of power. Only in this way can he do his job better. But now that the meeting has been held, he has no real power at all. How can he not be angry?

The Standing Committee members of the Municipal Party Committee are all old people and have various interest relationships with Liu Tong. In this meeting, they were afraid that they and their interests would be suppressed, so they all spoke in favor of Liu Tong. In this way, the meeting became a democratic meeting, and it became a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee to prevent him from taking power.

Lu Xingye returned to the office angrily, his face still ashen. He couldn't understand why Liu Tong had a good relationship with him these past two days. He even mentioned several times that he would delegate power at an appropriate time and told him that the municipal government should work boldly and he would support whatever was needed. But how could he suddenly ignore him?

Lu Xingye was not a fool. After careful consideration, he soon realized that this should be related to the lunch Liu Tong and Feng Sizhe had together at noon. Could it be that Feng Sizhe said something bad about him?

At first, Lu Xingye wanted to use Feng Sizhe's big name to quickly gain a foothold in Huaijiang City. No matter what, Wang Shizhong had such a big incident, as the municipal party secretary, Liu Tong also had some responsibility, and this investigation could be a good blow to Liu Tong's arrogance, and buy time for his own rise. It was precisely because of this idea that Lu Xingye supported the work of the inspection office and would have a meal with Feng Sizhe whenever he had nothing to do, showing his face in front of everyone. He did this for nothing more than one purpose, which was to tell everyone that he had a good personal relationship with Feng Sizhe, and if you don't want to get into trouble, then get close to me immediately.

This plan had a good effect at first. At least until now, many cadres had begun to report their work to him and expressed their intention to get close to him. But all this was ruined because of this afternoon's meeting. Lu Xingye believed that the content of the meeting would spread quickly. When everyone knew that he, the mayor, had no power, who would report their work to him and show their loyalty to him?

Thinking that his original plan was ruined by Feng Sizhe's meal, Lu Xingye became more and more angry. But the fact is like this, and he can't change anything by himself.

The current situation in Huaijiang City is that Liu Tong, the municipal party secretary, has already had a bad impression of him. Once this impression is formed, it is very difficult to change it. Now the only way to regain control of the situation is to find Liu Tong's handle and force this person to cooperate with him. But if he wants to do this, he still needs the help of one person, Feng Sizhe. If this person does not stand on his side, he will naturally not be able to put pressure on the other party and force the other party to bow to him.

Although he knew that Feng Sizhe had just swindled him at noon, Lu Xingye had to ask Feng Sizhe for help in order to change the current situation. Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Feng Sizhe, saying that he hoped to have dinner with him in the evening. The reason was simple: to reminisce about the past.

Reminiscing about the past. This phrase is usually the reason for two old friends to meet each other, but for a relationship like Feng Sizhe and Lu Xingye, what is there to reminisce about? Are they trying to settle accounts?

But even though this was a completely unreasonable reason, Feng Sizhe actually agreed to it.

Feng Sizhe received Lu Xingye's call in the office. Secretary Yin Fenglei was standing by at the time. Seeing that the boss had agreed to have dinner with Lu Xingye in the evening, he asked curiously, "Boss, this meal isn't that delicious, is it?"

"What do you mean?" Feng Sizhe asked Yin Fenglei with a smile.

Seeing the encouraging look in Feng Sizhe's eyes, Yin Fenglei mustered up the courage to say, "Boss, in my opinion, we are not on the same side as Mayor Lu. From the case of Wang Shizhong, from the information we have now, in fact, the Huaijiang Municipal Government has always been under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee, and many things need to be approved after Secretary Liu Tong nods his head. That means that Wang Shizhong's problem has a lot to do with Secretary Liu Tong. So if we want to investigate this case, we will implicate Liu Tong if we don't do it well. And the same result is not what Mayor Lu wants to see, maybe He didn't like Secretary Liu Tong, but he certainly didn't want Secretary Liu Tong to be transferred right away. Because from some perspectives, Secretary Liu Tong had been the Secretary of Huaijiang City for three years. According to organizational regulations, he had to leave in two years, either to be promoted to the provincial government or to be the Secretary of another municipal government. But no matter what, he probably wouldn't work in Huaijiang City any longer. After two years, Mayor Lu would have figured out the relationship in Huaijiang City, and he could take the opportunity to move up. Given Mayor Lu's background and status, it shouldn't be difficult for him to be promoted from mayor to secretary in two years."

"Yes, you are right. Come on, continue." Feng Sizhe nodded, obviously he also agreed with Yin Fenglei's analysis.

Listening to the boss's praise, Yin Fenglei was a little excited and continued, "If that's the case, boss, Mayor Lu will definitely not agree with us doing anything to Liu Tong, because it doesn't meet his development needs. So our goals are different, so is there still a chance for us to talk together?"

Seeing Yin Fenglei's posture as if he had finished speaking, Feng Sizhe nodded first, then smiled and said, "Not bad, Fenglei, you have made progress. It is already remarkable that you can analyze things to this point. Yes, from Lu Xingye's point of view, he hopes that we can beat Liu Tong for him, but not take him down. And this is not what we expect. But don't forget, what I just said is hope. Lu Xingye hopes that we do this, but how we do it is not something he can control. Therefore, the initiative of the matter is with us, and we have the final say on how to do it and what kind of results we will get. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Yin Fenglei shook his head, looking confused.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just wait and see. Give me a week and I'll make you understand." Feng Sizhe said to Yin Fenglei with a smile. He was not angry when others didn't understand, because they were not in his position. The most important thing was that Yin Fenglei had not experienced as much as he did, so it was normal for him not to understand.

That night, Lu Xingye and Feng Sizhe had dinner together, and no one knew what they talked about. But the next morning, the people in the inspection office suddenly took away a deputy director of the municipal party committee office, saying that he was involved in the Wang Shizhong case.

When Liu Tongyi, the municipal party secretary in the office, heard the news, he was a little panicked. He received a report last night saying that Lu Xingye was very depressed after the meeting. Then he had dinner with Director Feng in the evening. But he didn't expect the other party to fight back so soon. It seems that he still underestimated Lu Xingye. This man has a strong desire for revenge.

Liu Tong was still thinking about how to turn the tables, whether he should take the initiative to talk to Feng Sizhe again, because this deputy director of the office knew a lot about him, if he had any problems, it would probably implicate him. And just when he was still trying to contact Feng Sizhe and thinking about what to say when they met, the secretary outside the door reported that Mayor Lu had come to report on his work.

Liu Tong was somewhat displeased when he heard that Lu Xingye was coming at this time, but he couldn't just scare him away. After thinking about it, he asked his secretary to invite Lu Xingye into his office.

After entering the office, Lu Xingye looked at Liu Tong's gloomy face and was not surprised at all. All this was within his expectations. He had discussed it with Feng Sizhe last night. Even the problematic information about the deputy director was obtained by Lu Xingye using his authority as the mayor. His idea was simple, that is, to use this deputy director's matter to give Liu Tong a good warning, intending to tell him that if you don't cooperate with my work well, I will bring you down.

"Hello Secretary Liu, I'm here to report my work to you." As he said this, Lu Xingye began to report his work in a serious manner.

In fact, the work being reported are all small matters and insignificant. This is just an excuse to make the meeting between the two more reasonable.

After listening to Lu Xingye's five-minute work report, Liu Tong took the handle and said, "Well, you can handle these things as you wish." In fact, they were all small matters, which had been decided before. The so-called "handle them as you wish" was just to follow the route he designed.

"Okay." Lu Xingye nodded, closed the folder, and then said casually, "Secretary Liu, I heard that a deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office was taken away by the inspectors early this morning. What's going on?"

Lu Xingye actually took the initiative to bring up this matter, which shocked Liu Tong. Could it be that Feng Sizhe did this because of this kid's opinion? But he had inquired and heard that the Feng and Lu families were not in harmony.
