Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Comrade Anlin, it's like this. The provincial party committee has entrusted me with the aftermath of the Baichuan Building. I went to the site today to take a look. I think that no matter what direction things will develop in the end, it is very necessary to repair the exterior of the Baichuan Leisure Building first. And the construction is under your charge, so I would like to hear your opinion." Feng Sizhe looked at Zou Anlin and expressed his thoughts.

In fact, Ducheng Province is a major agricultural province, and Zou Anlin's main work is also agricultural issues. It can be said that he already has considerable power. However, because the executive vice governor is Zheng Defu, who was also parachuted from Kyoto, he also became a target of attack. So now Zheng Defu has both name and power, and his division of labor has been assigned to Zou Anlin. Now Vice Governor Zheng has gone to Nanchuan City to do drought prevention work.

Because Zou Anlin is in charge of this work now, Feng Sizhe can only discuss it with him first. The special political environment of Ducheng Province forces Feng Sizhe to think carefully before doing the first thing, at least to comply with the procedures, otherwise, someone will definitely find fault with him later.

"Acting Governor Feng, I think you should talk to Vice Governor Ma about this matter. He is now in charge of the province's construction work." After understanding what Feng Sizhe meant, Zou Anlin just smiled and passed the question to another vice governor.

Zou Anlin didn't want to cooperate with Feng Sizhe's work, but he couldn't say this to his face, so he put the blame on Ma Weigan.

Feng Sizhe was not surprised at all when he heard Zou Anlin say this. He did not think about how they would cooperate with his work. The main purpose of calling them here today was just for routine notification. Therefore, after hearing this answer, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will go find Comrade Ma Weigan later."

"Well, if Acting Governor Feng has nothing else to do, I'll go first. There's still a lot of work waiting for me to do." After Zou Anlin finished speaking, he stood up. It was obvious that he didn't want to have too much contact with Feng Sizhe.

"Comrade An Lin, take care." Feng Sizhe did not stand up this time. He gave the other party face, but the other party didn't want it, so he couldn't blame him.

After seeing Zou Anlin off, Feng Sizhe dialed the phone on the table, "Feng Lei, call Comrade Ma Weigan to my office."

After a while, Yin Fenglei walked in, but there was no one following him.

Seeing this situation, Feng Sizhe frowned. Could it be that Ma Weigan didn't want to see him? If so, he really deserved to be punished. He was the governor. Although there was an acting word in front of the title, it was an official order from the central government, and he was in charge of the overall work of the provincial government.

As if he had seen what Feng Sizhe was thinking, Yin Fenglei hurriedly said after entering the room, "Boss, Vice Governor Ma is not in the capital. He went to Kyoto."

"What?" Feng Sizhe was stunned when he heard the answer. They had a meeting yesterday, so why did he leave now? How could he not know that a vice governor was not at home? "When did he leave? Why didn't anyone notify me?" Feng Sizhe said angrily.

"Boss, I just asked and he said he left in the morning. Secretary General Fu Changtao said that he wanted to notify you, but when he arrived at the office, you were not there, so he forgot about it. When I asked him just now, he even said sorry." Yin Fenglei told him what he had learned.

Feng Sizhe was furious. The vice governor was on a business trip to Kyoto, but he, the governor, had no idea about it. Did they take him seriously? Feng Sizhe was very angry and said to Yin Fenglei, "Go and find Comrade Fu Changtao. I want to ask him a question."

"Yes." Seeing that the boss seemed a little angry, Yin Fenglei did not dare to neglect him and turned and left.

In less than five minutes, Fu Changtao followed Yin Fenglei to the governor's office. When Feng Sizhe saw this man, he was furious. "What is going on?"

"Don't be angry, Acting Governor Feng. This is what happened." Even at this time, Fu Changtao still did not forget to call Feng Sizhe the acting governor. This fully proved that he did not put himself in the right position at all, and did not take Feng Sizhe, the governor sent by the central government, seriously.

"What happened is, the central government wanted detailed information about the Baichuan Building incident, and Vice Governor Ma was in charge of the construction work, so Secretary Xu arranged for him to go to Kyoto to explain the situation. I came to report the matter to you, but you were not there at the time, and I was busy with other things, so I forgot about it." Fu Changtao said with an aggrieved look, as if the incident was not his fault, and it was because Feng Sizhe was not in the office that the important matter was delayed.

"I'm not in the office, can't you call Feng Lei? Even if you don't know Secretary Yin, can't you tell Deputy Secretary-General Wang? Huh?" Feng Sizhe was really angry about what Fu Changtao did. In his opinion, this guy didn't want to report to him at all. Otherwise, wouldn't it be okay to notify Wang Ruihua?

"Well, I didn't think so much about it at the time. I thought Secretary Xu would call and inform you." When Fu Changtao saw that Feng Sizhe was very angry, he hurriedly brought out SW Secretary Xu Chaoqi.

Seeing Fu Changtao trying to use Xu Chaoqi to pressure him, Feng Sizhe sneered, "Oh, so the Secretary General of the Provincial Government is always self-righteous. Ah? You thought Secretary Xu would call me so you didn't inform me, then next time something happens, will you still think that others will inform me? If so, what do I need you as the Secretary General for? Ah?"

Feng Sizhe was not afraid of Xu Chaoqi. In his opinion, the provincial government's affairs were the provincial government's affairs. At least no one else had the right to interfere in the provincial government's internal affairs.

Fu Changtao also knew that what he did today was a bit too much, but he had no choice. It was all because Ma Weigan did not go to Kyoto. It was Xu Chaoqi who called him just now and told him so. Ma Weigan also just left the provincial government and bought a ticket to Kyoto. As for when he would leave, he really had no idea.

But there was nothing he could do, since he held a low official position. When something happened, he was the only one who suffered the injustice.

As soon as Zou Anlin left the governor's office, he called Xu Chaoqi and told him what Feng Sizhe had called him to discuss. That's why Ma Weigan left immediately. Fu Changtao was just taking the blame for someone else.

Fu Changtao also knew that what he did today had offended Feng Sizhe, and nothing he said could change the facts. So he simply stopped talking, because the more he talked, the more mistakes he would make. Besides, he didn't believe that a newly arrived acting governor could do anything to him. After all, he was a man of SW Secretary Xu Chaoqi, and he believed that Young Master Feng didn't have the ability to do anything to him.

Feng Sizhe saw all of Fu Changtao's rejection. Indeed, although he was now in charge of the provincial government, he really couldn't do anything to the provincial government secretary-general. He was a department-level cadre anyway. If he wanted to move him, he had to go through the provincial standing committee. With his current ability, it would be impossible for the provincial standing committee to pass a decision to replace Fu Changtao. "Okay, you go out first. I hope this won't happen again." Feng Sizhe waved Fu Changtao to leave his office.

What happened today made Master Feng very angry. He knew that questioning Fu Changtao would not have any good results, and would only push him to the opposite side faster. He did not think about trying to persuade this person. He could choose to stand on his side again. This was simply wishful thinking, at most a dream. Feng Sizhe, who never had any illusions, was thinking about how to solve this matter.

He rang the phone on his desk again, "Feng Lei, please ask Vice Governor Xia Yu to come to my office."

In just five minutes, Xia Yu appeared in Feng Sizhe's office. As soon as he entered the office, he said respectfully, "Hello, Governor Feng."

"Haha, Comrade Xia Yu is here, please take a seat." Feng Sizhe pointed to the chair opposite him and invited him to sit down.

Xia Yu was the person introduced to him by De Xingmin, so there should be no doubt about it. For this reason, Feng Sizhe told him what had just happened to Fu Changtao.

Xia Yu listened very carefully. He had sensed that Feng Sizhe was very unhappy with the provincial government secretary general, but he also knew that being unhappy was one thing, but replacing him was another. This person was a nail that Xu Chaoqi had left for the provincial government before he went to the provincial party committee, and he couldn't just pull it out. But he still asked, "What do you think, Governor Feng?"

"I want to find a reliable deputy secretary-general who is familiar with the work to preside over the work." Feng Sizhe did not want to hide it from Xia Yu. Since he could not do anything to Fu Changtao, he would promote someone else and sideline the secretary-general. In officialdom, having a high position does not necessarily make you the boss. The most important thing is to have power in your hands.

Listening to Feng Sizhe's words, Xia Yu knew that this meant to sideline Fu Changtao, and he immediately felt that this was an opportunity. He quickly thought about the several secretaries-general of the provincial government office who had a good relationship with him. He knew very well that his next proposal would probably bring about a qualitative change in the structure of the government office, and he couldn't help but get a little excited.

When Ji Quanyong was the secretary and Xu Chaoqi was the governor, Xia Yu's job as the deputy governor was not easy. If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew he had a German background, he would have been kicked out of the provincial government's high-level power department. But even with this relationship, his job was not easy. Until now, he was only in charge of the stability of the president, national defense mobilization, air defense, etc., which sounded good, but in fact had no real power in peacetime. It was Feng Sizhe's arrival that gave him hope, especially now that he was given a chance to be nominated. In fact, Young Master Feng could have decided on his own, but now letting him say it was equivalent to giving him a kind of power.
