Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Thank you Governor Feng for your affirmation. Please have some tea." Liu Baichuan laughed. Of course, he knew that Feng Sizhe had just come into contact with his Baichuan Group and did not know much about it yet. What he said was just an official document for the sake of taxation and should not be taken seriously.

"Thank you." Feng Sizhe thanked him, took a sip of tea, and nodded, "Well, not bad, is this Mingqian Longjing?"

"Awesome, I didn't expect Governor Feng is an expert in this field." Liu Baichuan gave Feng Sizhe a thumbs up.

In this life, Feng Sizhe has become less knowledgeable about tea because of his career in the officialdom. In his previous life, as a news commentator, he often spent his days with a cup of tea and a newspaper, which allowed him to do more research on tea. In this life, he is simply living off his past achievements.

"Haha, I'm not an expert. I just drank Mingqian Longjing a few times and remembered the taste." Feng Sizhe smiled modestly.

"But no matter what, it's not easy for you to taste it. To be honest, I have dealt with most of the leaders of Ducheng Province, but the only one who can call out the name of this tea after just one sip is Governor Feng." Liu Baichuan said very seriously.

Seeing that Liu Baichuan didn't seem to be trying to flatter him, Feng Sizhe didn't want to explain anything more. But when Liu Baichuan said he would give him two bags to take away, he quickly shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't have any particular preferences for tea. I just drink a little occasionally. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

"Haha, then as Governor Feng said, you must have good tea at home." Liu Baichuan asked with a smile.

Thinking that he did have some Da Hong Pao tea brought from Kyoto, Feng Sizhe nodded and said, "I have two packs of tea leaves at home. I can't say whether they are good or not, but at least they are not available outside."

"Oh, tea leaves for sale?" Liu Baichuan's eyes widened as he said this. "Governor Feng, I have a hobby, I love tea very much. I wonder if I can have this opportunity to go to Governor Feng's house to taste the tea?"

Liu Baichuan suddenly wanted to visit his home to taste tea, which made Feng Sizhe stunned. He didn't understand what he meant, but this doubt disappeared in an instant. At his level, he had long been able to hide his emotions, and ordinary people could not see their true thoughts. "Okay, since Chairman Liu is so interested, I'll be waiting for you anytime."

"Okay, it's settled now." Liu Baichuan laughed.

In Feng Sizhe's view, the issue of tea was just a topic for the two of them to get closer to each other. Then they talked about the Baichuan Leisure Center.

"Alas, the wall of the leisure center fell off during the peak traffic period, resulting in more than 300 people being injured to varying degrees. I was very sad. After the incident, I cooperated with the province to treat the injured. All the hospitalization and nutrition expenses of the injured were paid by our Baichuan Group. At the same time, I immediately cooperated with the relevant government departments to arrest Wang Shitie, who was in charge of the construction of the leisure department building at that time. It is a pity that the real builder Yang Cheng disappeared and has not been found yet." When talking about the Baichuan Building incident, Liu Baichuan's face showed obvious sadness.

Obviously, it can be seen from these words that because of this incident, Baichuan Group paid a very high price, both losing money and people, and spending a huge price, which allowed Baichuan Group to start operating again.

The look of heartache and sadness was not fake. Feng Sizhe could feel the sincerity of the other party. If he thought about it, it was true that such a big incident had caused great damage to the reputation of Baichuan Group. He believed that he was really sad. But Feng Sizhe didn't understand one thing. Just as the other party said, they were also engaged in real estate development. Why didn't the construction of the leisure center be completed by their own construction team? Feng Sizhe was very curious about this question.

Hearing Feng Sizhe's question, Liu Baichuan was not at all flustered and answered, "Well, it's a coincidence. I have three large construction teams under my command, but they were all undertaking construction tasks at the time and really couldn't spare the time. The construction of the leisure center was imminent and could not be delayed. I thought about it and realized that the bottom three floors of the first phase of the leisure center had already been built. It was nothing more than adding a fifth floor. There shouldn't be any big problems. That's why I publicly called for bids and asked Wang Shitie, who I trusted and had worked in construction, to be in charge. But who would have thought that there would still be trouble."

While saying these words, Liu Baichuan's face was full of regret, from which it can be seen that he really regretted what he did at that time.

Liu Baichuan was originally in the construction industry, and he was too busy to spare time while building his own leisure center, so he had to hire another construction team. But something happened to this construction team, which made people speculate. Did Liu Baichuan offend someone? Did someone deliberately set him up?

Of course, all of this was just Feng Sizhe's guess, and he would not say it out loud. "So that's how it is. Well, now that it has happened, I think we still have to think about how to deal with it. I just saw the leisure center, and it was very ugly with the peeling wall paint. I wonder if Baichuan Group can fix the wall paint first, at least it will look better. There are some things we can't live in the past forever. If we want everyone to forget, we have to do the work. Many times, it's not too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost."

"Yes, Governor Feng is right. This is what I mean as well. However, the province does not agree to do this. They said that the matter has not been fully investigated, so the leisure center can only do this for now. Now that the governor has spoken, I know what to do." As the chairman and legal representative of Baichuan Group, as well as the general person in charge of the leisure center, he certainly does not want such a shameful thing to happen in his industry. It's just that the province has not allowed him to do any rescue work. Now that he has a mouth, he will of course seize the opportunity.

"Now the provincial party committee has given me full authority to take charge of this work, so you can do it with confidence." Feng Sizhe dispelled Liu Baichuan's concerns with his words, "By the way, does the government need to find some qualified construction teams to do this?"

"That's not necessary. One of our Baichuan's construction teams just finished a project and is currently in the rest stage. We will complete this task internally. To be honest, ever since this incident happened, I don't dare to trust other people anymore." Liu Baichuan smiled bitterly.

"Okay, then this matter will be left to you. I just hope it will end soon and not let some people challenge us and the government over these things." Feng Sizhe nodded. If they wanted to resolve the Baichuan Building incident, they had to put their ideas into action step by step. Obviously, repairing the leisure center was one of the measures.

Since it was their first meeting, neither of them had a deep conversation. They just communicated on some issues and reached a consensus on some things that had to be resolved.

The door of the room outside the chairman's office was pushed open, and a woman in red walked in. "Oh, sorry, I went to the development zone and am late." The woman said with a smile on her face as she entered the room.

As soon as he saw this woman coming, Liu Baichuan stood up hurriedly, "Chunhong, let me introduce you. This is our new governor Feng from Ducheng Province. Governor Feng, this is my assistant and general manager of Baichuan Group, Ms. Han Chunhong."

"Hello, Miss Han." Feng Sizhe stood up and shook hands with the other party politely.

"Hello, Governor Feng. I can't believe you are so young. You look like my neighbor's younger brother. Your appearance has completely overturned my understanding of senior government officials. I thought only old men could become governors." Han Chunhong was not polite and expressed her thoughts as soon as they met.

After Han Chunhong said this, Feng Sizhe felt a little embarrassed, but our Young Master Feng also has his own way with women, "Haha, Miss Han, you are too kind. I am not a high-ranking official, and I also serve the people. It's just that I have greater responsibilities. But Miss Han, you are very beautiful and young."

"Oh, I feel a little embarrassed when Governor Feng said that." Han Chunhong's face turned red, as if she was really blushing because of these words.

In fact, Han Chunhong is indeed very beautiful, with willow-shaped eyebrows, cherry lips, oval face, pointed chin, and fair and delicate skin. In short, she has all the advantages of a beautiful woman. The most important thing is that she is a little mixed-race, and this foreign gene shows her very capable personality. Let's put it this way, if we only talk about beauty, she is not inferior to any woman around Feng Sizhe. They are all on par with each other, but their temperaments are slightly different.

Feng Sizhe knew very well that the general manager of Baichuan Group was not an ordinary person. How could he blush because of his words? So he just smiled and said, "Okay, it's almost time. I have another meeting to attend. I'll leave first."

Things were almost settled and Feng Sizhe was about to leave. Now that Han Chunhong appeared here again, of course he had to leave. This woman was not easy to deal with, and he did not want to be involved in an unclear relationship between a man and a woman as soon as he arrived in Ducheng Province.

Liu Baichuan personally escorted Feng Sizhe out of the building. When he returned to the office, his face returned to normal. Han Chunhong came to his side and asked softly, "How do you feel about this person?"

"I can't see through it." Liu Baichuan said this, and this was also the first impression Feng Sizhe left on him.
