Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Yes, the governor is a man of great courage." Zhang Yang mentioned that Feng Sizhe scolded You Xinguo. Xia Yu believed this. He could even imagine that You Xinguo must have been scolded badly this time.

"That's right. The governor is a man of ideas and decisiveness. I admire him very much." Zhang Yang also praised Feng Sizhe.

"Haha, the governor thinks highly of you too. He just told me that a provincial engineering inspection team will be formed, with the governor as the team leader, me as the executive deputy team leader, and you as the deputy team leader. Congratulations, brother." As Xia Yu said these words, he couldn't help but pat Zhang Yang on the shoulder. If he hadn't been the executive deputy team leader, he would still be a little jealous of Zhang Yang. After all, he was a deputy governor-level cadre. However, Zhang Yang was only a deputy director-general, which was a huge difference.

Fortunately, Xia Yu was already the executive deputy team leader, and Zhang Yang was the cadre he recommended to Feng Sizhe, so he was still relieved.

"What? Engineering Inspection Team?" Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "department". Apparently, he did not fully understand the power of this organization.

"That's right. The engineering inspection team, as the name suggests, has the right to investigate and veto all engineering-related enterprises and industries in the province. It's a very powerful department." Xia Yu said with pride. After all, he is the supervisor in this area. He can even imagine what attitude everyone will have towards him in the future.

Zhang Yang's mind worked very quickly. After listening to Xia Yu's explanation of the power of this department, he also felt that this was a very powerful department. However, he couldn't understand how he could be qualified as a deputy team leader at his level. If he was a team member, it would be fine.

Although he was a little confused, Zhang Yang quickly congratulated Xia Yu, "Congratulations, Vice Governor Xia, you have more power in your hands."

"Haha, you should congratulate us, Brother Zhang. We will work in the same department from now on and need to help each other." Xia Yu was very happy at this moment, patting Zhang Yang's shoulder, and even calling him by his name. In fact, Xia Yu had a reason to be happy. How could he not be happy when he suddenly had such great power?

"Haha, of course, of course, I will cooperate with Vice Governor Xia." Zhang Yang also nodded with a smile. Although he still couldn't figure out what Feng Sizhe meant, his feeling told him that this should be something good for him.

As soon as Xia Yu walked out of his office, Yin Fenglei came to him in person and said, "Deputy Secretary-General Zhang, the governor is calling you."

"Okay." Zhang Yang agreed, then stood up and said, "Secretary Yin, if there is anything in the future, I can just call you. You don't have to do everything yourself."

"Hey, how can this be possible? You are my leader." Yin Fenglei said politely.

"What leader? We are just comrades. There is no such thing as one leading whom. We should say that the governor is our leader." Zhang Yang expressed his opinion.

"Haha. Deputy Secretary-General Zhang is really good at talking." Yin Fenglei nodded. His intuition told him that Zhang Yang was very good at doing things, but whether he was really capable was still unclear. And the true nature of their relationship would depend entirely on the boss's opinion.

In the governor's office, Zhang Yang stood respectfully.

"Little Zhang, please take a seat." Feng Sizhe said to Zhang Yang. In fact, Zhang Yang was a little older than Feng Sizhe, but given his rank, there was nothing wrong with addressing him like that.

"Yes, Governor." Zhang Yang agreed and sat down on the chair.

"Well, Comrade Xia Yu has already told you about the establishment of the engineering inspection team," Feng Sizhe asked Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang replied, "Vice Governor Xia has already told me that he is just a governor. My rank is too low. I am not qualified to be the deputy leader of the inspection team."

Feng Sizhe said, "Level is not a problem. I have already informed the provincial party committee. I checked you and found that you have been in the position of deputy secretary-general for four years. You are qualified to be promoted to the next level. Besides, you are now in charge of the work of the provincial government office. It is not right to be a deputy department-level official."

Feng Sizhe was very natural when he talked about these things, as if he was talking about a trivial matter. But for Zhang Yang himself, this was indeed a big touch.

Once upon a time, Zhang Yang was full of confidence in his career path. He became a deputy-department-level official before he was 40, which made him ambitious for the future. However, after he was promoted from the local to the Provincial Government Office and was not welcomed by Xu Chaoqi and was suppressed by Fu Changtao, he knew that his future might be delayed here. He also thought about using his connections to transfer out of here, or even return to the city below to serve as a deputy secretary, but Fu Changtao seemed to have recognized him and nailed him to the Provincial Government Office.

As a result, Zhang Yang had given up on his career path for a while, thinking about retiring after a long time. But he never expected that the path from deputy director to director, which he might not be able to complete before retirement, would be solved in an instant.

Zhang Yang was very excited at the moment, even more excited than Xia Yu just now. Tears actually flowed from his eyes, "Governor, thank you, thank you."

Seeing Zhang Yang about to cry, Feng Sizhe actually smiled, reached out and took a tissue from the table and handed it to him, "What are you doing? Can you be more ambitious?"

"Yes, yes, I must have something successful. I won't cry, I won't cry." As he spoke, Zhang Yang actually burst into laughter.

"Well, do your job well. As long as you have the ability, you will be valued by me. You don't have to worry about the level. I will consider this for you. Just do your job well. Do you understand?" Feng Sizhe reminded Zhang Yang that you can only be sorry for me if you do your job well. On the contrary, I can lift you up and also suppress you. A bureau-level cadre is naturally very powerful in a prefecture-level city, but in the province, there are still many benches of the same level for you to sit on.

Zhang Yang certainly understood what Feng Sizhe meant by these words, and he immediately expressed his position, "Please rest assured, Governor, I will definitely work hard. If my work ability is not good enough, you don't need to tell me, I will just stay where I want."

"Okay, this is what you said, I'll take note of it." Feng Sizhe said with a smile after listening to Zhang Yang's statement.

Zhang Yang also smiled at this moment. It was a happy smile, a smile that comes from having a close friend.

After waiting for Zhang Yang to stop laughing, Feng Sizhe's expression became a little more serious, "Xiao Zhang, do you know what the important task of the engineering inspection team is?"

"Please give me some advice, Governor." Zhang Yang asked humbly.

"To put it bluntly, the incident of Baichuan Building is the result of irresponsible behavior of the Provincial Construction Department and other units. At that time, the Provincial Construction Department and the Provincial Quality Inspection Bureau should have investigated such a project, but why did no one find out? This led to the loss of life and property. As far as I know, there are various projects in the province that are shouting the slogan of quick construction, so what about the quality of their projects? In order to prevent the Baichuan Building incident from happening again, I think it is necessary to set up such a department to solve and deal with such things. I don't care when others are in office, but now I am the acting governor of Ducheng Province, so I have the power to do this well. Therefore, this department will play a very important role in the future, and relevant cities and counties should also set up such departments to work under the guidance of the Provincial Engineering Inspection Group. In a word, similar incidents like the Baichuan Building incident cannot be allowed to happen again." Feng Sizhe explained the power of this department. Of course, he was also using the Baichuan Building incident to control the development of the construction and real estate industries in Ducheng Province. To put it bluntly, this was also a preparation to minimize the losses from the big incident a few months later.

Listening to Feng Sizhe's words, Zhang Yang understood a little. "Yes, Governor, I know what to do."

Feng Sizhe glanced at Zhang Yang and said, "Well, I'm glad to know. Remember, you are also one of the deputy team leaders. If something goes wrong with this matter, you are also responsible. Do you understand?"

Suddenly, Feng Sizhe said this, and Zhang Yang was stunned. Speaking of it, his main task is still the provincial government office, but why did the governor say this? Is it because he is not confident in Vice Governor Xia Yu?

Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind, and soon, Zhang Yang figured it out. Maybe Feng Sizhe also said the same thing to Xia Yu, which is the so-called mutual supervision at work.

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

In the office of Secretary SW of the Capital Province.

Su Hanmin, the provincial party committee's organization minister, was asking Xu Chaoqi for instructions on his work.

"Secretary Xu, Acting Governor Feng just called and said that in order to prevent the Baichuan Building incident from happening again, the provincial government has set up a new department called the Provincial Engineering Inspection Team. He will be the team leader, Vice Governor Xia Yu will be the executive deputy team leader, and Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Yang of the Provincial Government Office will be the deputy team leader. He also said that in order to ensure equal power and position, he also proposed that Comrade Zhang Yang be promoted half a level, from deputy level to full department level." Su Hanmin fully conveyed Feng Sizhe's request to Xu Chaoqi.

Xu Chaoqi frowned. He didn't expect Feng Sizhe to be so imposing and start building his own team so quickly.

In Xu Chaoqi's opinion, the situation in Ducheng Province is complicated, and as an outsider, he must first familiarize himself with the situation here. At least he will have to wait until after the New Year and the meetings of the Provincial People's Congress and the Provincial Political Consultative Conference before he will take any action on personnel matters. However, after only a few days, he has lost his patience.
