Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Haha, my mother lives over there. She is old and her sleep quality is not very good, so I usually don't have guests at night." Ya Yunlong thought that there was a dignified governor standing next to him, so he hurriedly explained.

Feng Sizhe had heard from Zhang Yang a long time ago that Ya Yunlong was a very filial man, so after hearing this, his opinion did not change at all. Instead, he nodded thoughtfully. In the eyes of Young Master Feng, filial people are usually not bad people. Even if there are some individual cases, their badness also has a bottom line.

Under the guidance of Ya Yunlong, the group came to the reception room in the wing. The area here was not too small, about 30 square meters, which was enough to at least accommodate Feng Sizhe and others.

Yin Fenglei, who came with him, naturally followed him into the reception room, while the driver Li Shuang and the guard Chen Hu and others stood in the yard. Their duty was to protect Feng Sizhe's safety.

In the reception room, Ya Yunlong took the initiative to serve tea to Feng Sizhe, and then said shyly, "Governor, please have a sip. My wife is not at home. She went to Kyoto to accompany her daughter to school, so there are not many things prepared for guests at home."

"Hey, why are you being so polite? The governor came here just to see you, not to eat your food. If he wanted to eat, do you think we can't find a better place?" Zhang Yang explained hurriedly. In fact, he was also afraid that Feng Sizhe would be angry because of Ya Yunlong's poor hospitality.

How could Young Master Feng be such a stingy person? So he remained silent, but his face was full of smiles, indicating that he was indeed not angry.

Seeing that Feng Sizhe was not angry, Zhang Yang let out a long sigh, and then took the initiative to change the topic, "I say, Lao Ya, you are still stubborn. The governor came to Xichuan for inspection, but you didn't go to greet him. I wonder if your organizational discipline is a little lacking."

"No, no, where was that?" Ya Yunlong felt somewhat embarrassed when asked these questions in front of the governor. After all, Zhang Yang was telling the truth. He did not go to greet Feng Sizhe with other leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. Otherwise, he would not have known that Feng Sizhe did not go to Xichuan with the inspection team.

"Haha, Zhang Yang, stop teasing Comrade Ya Yunlong." Feng Sizhe also laughed and said this. His statement did prove one thing, that is, he was not really angry that Ya Yunlong did not pick him up with other city leaders.

Hearing Feng Sizhe say this, Ya Yunlong let out a long sigh, thought for a moment and said, "Governor, it's not that I have a problem with you, but I feel that this kind of welcoming and seeing off is really unnecessary. Besides, other comrades from the municipal party committee have already gone, so it doesn't matter if I go there again."

"Well, I agree with what you said. When the leader comes down to inspect the work, the main responsible comrade only needs to accompany him, and the other comrades should do their own work well. If everyone joins in the fun, then who will do the work?" Feng Sizhe nodded, looking very approving.

Ya Yunlong was somewhat moved by Feng Sizhe's words. No matter what, this leader really touched his heart, and he felt comfortable hearing these words.

Speaking of Ya Yunlong, he is really different from other Xichuan Municipal Party Committee cadres, both in terms of background and personality.

Ya Yunlong is a member of the Yi ethnic minority. He had excellent academic performance since childhood, and later successfully entered university and became a civil servant. He also caught up with the country's trend of promoting cadres from ethnic minorities, and his career has been smooth. Because of his special identity and extremely resilient character, he became a cadre in the United Front Department. Later, because there were a large number of Yi people in Xichuan City, he became a United Front cadre here. Because of his fairness and selflessness, he became the Minister of the United Front Work Department of Xichuan City.

In Xichuan area, the public security situation is the same as that in the capital province, which is not very good. Sometimes there are even some minor ethnic problems, which greatly affect the stable development of society. It is under this situation that Ya Yunlong emerged, and because of his special identity, his position is unshakable.

It is said that such a cadre, with such an irreplaceable identity, should have a strong say in Xichuan City. However, the actual situation is that Ya Yunlong is an upright person and dares to speak out on many issues. In officialdom, telling the truth is not a luxury, but if you tell the truth every day, you will inevitably feel out of place. He is like this. He wants to say something about things he doesn't like and wants to take care of things that he doesn't care about. Over time, he was simply isolated by some leaders of the Xichuan Municipal Party Committee. Everyone feels that it is a bit tiring to come into contact with such an overly upright person, as if there is always a pair of eyes staring at you in the dark, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.

If you don't make others feel comfortable, then others won't make you feel comfortable, so Ya Yunlong was excluded by the Xichuan Municipal Party Committee. He would not be notified to participate in many major activities, and only when it comes to united front work would he be allowed to stand up and take charge of the overall situation. If it weren't for his special status, I'm afraid he would have been deprived of this position now.

Ya Yunlong is a stubborn person. Once he makes up his mind, he will not change his mind. He has always believed that most of the officials in the officialdom are good. Only a few of them are blinded by power and do some foolish things. Most of the officials are just and know good from bad. Moreover, he also believes that his approach will be supported by most people, so he has always been doing things according to his own code of conduct, even if some leaders don't like him and ignore him, he still does things as he should.

Over time, he was marginalized again and again, just like today, no one came to inform him of the welcoming ceremony for the new governor. Of course, considering that Ya Yunlong worked so much in Xichuan City, he also had his own information channels, but he did not go to greet Feng Sizhe in the end, because in his opinion, the job of a good cadre is not to greet and see off, but to focus on his own work and better serve the people and the country.

Sometimes, the more persistent the cadres are, the stronger they appear to be, the weakest they are inside. They also have the hearts of ordinary people and are afraid of being hurt. They often need encouragement, just like Ya Yunlong now. When he heard that Feng Sizhe did not show any displeasure about him attending the welcome ceremony, he was also somewhat moved. After all, not every senior leader has such an attitude. They may not remember who came to welcome them, but they do remember who did not come, because the leader will think that you do not respect him and do not take him seriously, then you are really in danger.

Ya Yunlong showed a touch of emotion on his face, which did not escape Zhang Yang's eyes. Seeing that the governor moved people with just one sentence, he had to admire the leader's art of employing people. But thinking that there was something else to do, he continued, "Old Ya, don't be sentimental. If you can have more contact with the governor, you will find that there will be many things that move you. Haha, how about, if possible, report the situation of Xichuan City to the leader now."

When Zhang Yang was the deputy secretary of Xichuan, he had a very good relationship with Ya Yunlong. Perhaps it was because they were both stubborn and had both been oppressed. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. This brought the two of them together quickly. Even after Zhang Yang went to work in the provincial government, whenever Ya Yunlong went to the provincial capital for a meeting, they would meet. They had been in contact for many years. This was why Zhang Yang had the confidence to bring Feng Sizhe here directly without making any preparations.

"The situation in Xichuan City is very good!" Unexpectedly, Ya Yunlong did not complain as he did in previous years.

Zhang Yang was stunned by Ya Yunlong's answer. Before coming here, he vowed to Feng Sizhe that if he wanted to know the most real situation in Xichuan City, then he should find Ya Yunlong. But now it seemed that the other party was just perfunctorily answering him. This was completely different from what he had promised at the beginning.

Zhang Yang glanced at Feng Sizhe from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Feng Sizhe was not as angry as he expected, but on the contrary, he still looked approachable, he heaved a sigh of relief, and then reiterated to Ya Yunlong, "Old Ya, just say what you want to say. It's not your personality to sing praises everywhere."

"What do you mean by singing praises everywhere? Am I telling the truth? How can the truth be wrong?" Ya Yunlong asked Zhang Yang.

This question stunned Zhang Yang, mainly because he did not expect Ya Yunlong to suddenly have such an attitude. He thought that with his friendship with him, and with Feng Sizhe's personal appearance, it would be very easy to figure out some problems. Who would have thought that this person who was extremely upright in his eyes had now learned to be cunning and tell lies.

On the contrary, Ya Yunlong's answer did not surprise Feng Sizhe. After being in the official career for a long time, he naturally learned to protect himself. When he first met the leader, he told the truth and spoke directly, which was risky. Before he figured out his own personality and work style, it was right to be conservative and say something nice that everyone could accept.

But since Zhang Yang said that Ya Yunlong was trustworthy, Feng Sizhe had no doubts about his character. For Young Master Feng, who wanted to know about Xichuan's situation, it was necessary to gain Ya Yunlong's trust. Now, if he wanted to hear some real words, it seemed that he had to reveal some explosive information.
