Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Thank you, thank you Secretary Yin." Fang Lingguang said to Yin Fenglei politely.

When Fang Lingguang said these words, Feng Sizhe was also observing him. He saw that this man was not tall, but he was very fat, especially his belly, which was obviously very big. It was obvious that this was the result of excessive eating and drinking.

After Fang Lingguang saw Yin Fenglei off, he immediately turned his gaze to Feng Sizhe and said politely and respectfully, "Acting Governor Feng, I'm here to report to you on the work of the Finance Department."

No matter how humble his tone was, or how respectful his attitude was, the mere words "Feng is acting governor" were enough to prove what this person was thinking. Obviously, he did not completely put Feng Sizhe in the position of governor, otherwise he would not have added the word "acting".

"Well, go ahead and tell me." Feng Sizhe nodded.

"The financial situation of our Ducheng Province..." It must be said that Fang Lingguang's eloquence is quite good, and he has a good understanding of the economic situation of the entire province. A lot of data came out of his mouth without hesitation, which is enough to prove that he is basically doing his job as the Minister of Finance.

It took Fang Lingguang about thirty minutes to give a basic report on the situation. After finishing these words, he lowered his head, as if he was listening to instructions from his leader.

Feng Sizhe looked at Fang Lingguang and said without warning, "Do you know Wang Weidong?"

Fang Lingguang didn't expect Feng Sizhe to mention his brother-in-law. That's right, he went to the Public Security Bureau to bail out Wang Weidong today. It was for this reason that he decided to report his work in the morning. In his opinion, his behavior itself was to give face to Feng Sizhe. Because according to his previous intention, he didn't want to take the initiative to report his work to Master Feng. He could just use the excuse of being busy with official duties to shirk it. But now he showed his sincerity and took the initiative to report on his work, but Feng Sizhe still insisted on listening to his brother-in-law, which made him a little angry.

I thought to myself, if I had known you would bring up this matter again, I would not have come to report to you. You can decide what to do.

Of course, he couldn't say these words, after all, he was the leader, but now that the leader had raised the issue, he still had to answer. "Yes, I know Comrade Wang Weidong, he is my wife's younger brother."

"Oh, your lover's brother?" Seeing Fang Lingguang admit it, Feng Sizhe sneered and asked, "Then do you know what happened at the night market last night?"

"I know." To Feng Sizhe's surprise, Fang Lingguang admitted it without any hesitation.

Seeing Fang Lingguang admitting the incident but showing no sign of admitting his fault, Feng Sizhe's tone turned cold, "Since you knew about this, why did you still bail out Comrade Wang Weidong?"

"I didn't go to bail him out. I happened to go to the Public Security Bureau to do some work and met Director Wang. Director Wang misunderstood me and thought I was there for Wang Weidong's matter, so he asked me to take the man away. I only found out about these things later, and I educated him seriously. He also knows he was wrong. Such a thing will not happen again in the future." Fang Lingguang had obviously thought of a reason, and he spoke these words fluently without any intention of covering up.

After listening to Fang Lingguang's answer, Feng Sizhe said, "So you didn't know about it in advance?"

Fang Lingguang replied, "Yes, I don't know."

"Okay, very good. Don't let me find out that you know anything about this. Go first." Feng Sizhe really couldn't imagine how Fang Lingguang could come up with such a reason. If he said that, wouldn't he blame Wang Hailiang for making things difficult for him? Although this person was the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, he was still his subordinate. He wanted to see how Wang Hailiang would answer his question.

Fang Lingguang was quite happy. When Feng Sizhe asked him to leave, he nodded and left the governor's office. It can be said that Fang Lingguang had not thought of confronting Feng Sizhe before, but now that the matter had come to that, he had no choice but to say so.

Fang Lingguang, who was walking out of the governor's office, happened to meet Wang Hailiang, who was called by phone, in the corridor. The two met here and smiled at each other. Finally, Fang Lingguang said, "I did what you said. You won't have any problem, right?"

"What problem would I have? He still has a label on his head and he can't do anything wrong." Wang Hailiang said easily.

"You're right." Fang Lingguang laughed after hearing this answer, "Thank you for what you did today. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Listening to Fang Lingguang's invitation, Wang Hailiang nodded, "Okay, we brothers should get together."

He said that Feng Sizhe had a "deputy" label on his head and that he should not be taken seriously. However, after entering the governor's office, the expression on his face immediately changed to one that became extremely respectful. If it weren't for someone who knew the situation and saw all this, they would have thought that Wang Hailiang was really Feng Sizhe's direct subordinate.

"Hello, Acting Governor." After saying this, Wang Hailiang said nothing more.

Seeing that Wang Hailiang took so long to arrive, the time he spent meeting Fang Lingguang alone was more than 40 minutes. It only took more than ten minutes to get from the Provincial Public Security Bureau to the Provincial Government Building. It was obvious that this person did not rush over as soon as he received his call. He must have delayed on purpose.

It is said that he delayed deliberately, because in the officialdom, when the superior wants to see the subordinate, there is no need for any reason, and the subordinate cannot give any reason. If the leader wants to see you, you must rush over as soon as possible even if you are in a meeting or having a meal. The fact that Wang Hailiang did not do so can only prove one thing, that is, he does not value himself at all, does not respect himself, and ignores his words.

"Tell me." Since Wang Hailiang didn't value him, there was no need for Feng Sizhe to respect him, so he didn't even mean to ask for a seat, he just asked this question.

In fact, Wang Hailiang had already guessed that Feng Sizhe wanted to see him, and he also came late on purpose, in order to temper his opponent's edge. He believed that after hearing that Wang Weidong and Liang Wuye were both released on bail, the governor would be angry, or even furious, so he came late on purpose, not only to avoid getting into trouble at the first time, but also on purpose. If Feng Sizhe really said something out of line when he saw him today, he would report everything to his superiors. In the capital, he was just an airborne acting governor, and he couldn't turn the tables.

But the words "tell me something" made Wang Hailiang unable to express all the words he had prepared. According to his idea, Feng Sizhe should first ask him to sit down, which was a matter of good manners. The second thing he should do was to ask him why he was late. He had prepared enough reasons for this. Everyone knew that the security situation in Ducheng Province was not good anyway. He only needed to casually talk about the scene of an incident to get away with it. But now the other party did not ask these questions, but asked him to tell them instead?

What are you talking about? Do you think you are a criminal? Do you want to confess?

Wang Hailiang was not used to Feng Sizhe's way of questioning, so he stood there for a while, not knowing how to answer, because he didn't know what the other party wanted him to say? Was it about the two people being released, or about his late arrival? If he answered incorrectly, he would inevitably be ridiculed by the other party, which was not what he wanted.

Hearing that Wang Hailiang didn't say anything, Feng Sizhe raised his head and stared into Wang Hailiang's eyes. His deep gaze seemed to be able to see into the depths of the other person's soul.

Wang Hailiang felt the sharpness of Feng Sizhe's eyes. He had wanted to meet his gaze, thinking that he was just an acting governor, and that he must be inferior to him in age and life experience. But when he really looked over, he felt that it was not the case. At least Feng Sizhe's gaze was much more powerful than he thought, and it actually made him feel scared.

Facing the powerful gaze, Wang Hailiang only maintained the gaze for a while, then he lowered his head again. He couldn't expect that he didn't dare to look directly at Feng Sizhe. Could it be that the saying "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door" is true?

Under Feng Sizhe's pressure, Wang Hailiang finally spoke, "Acting Governor, what do you want me to say?"

"What? You come to my office and you don't know what to say?" Feng Sizhe asked Wang Hailiang.

Wang Hailiang frowned, thinking, "Didn't you ask me to come?" Of course, he couldn't say this. After all, he was a subordinate. If he said this, it would obviously be disrespectful to the leader. With this one point, he would lose points. No matter what Feng Sizhe did to him next, he would not be able to find a reason.

"Well, I just went to a scene where someone was injured, so I was late." After thinking about it, Wang Hailiang decided to bring up the fact that he was late. Although no one asked, he believed that this matter would have to be explained sooner or later.

"That's not what I'm asking." Feng Sizhe waited for Wang Hailiang to say something and immediately denied it.

"Well... then I really don't know what you are asking." Wang Hailiang realized that no matter what he said, it would be wrong. In that case, it would be better to be passive and answer the questions when others ask them. It should be much simpler if he could.

"Very well, then I will tell you what happened in the night market case. The two main parties have been released on bail because of your consent. Now do you want to give me an explanation?" Feng Sizhe looked at Wang Hailiang and asked seriously. This person actually dared to release the person who intended to hurt him. Based on this point, he could hold the other party responsible.
