Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling." The phone on the desk suddenly rang.

As soon as he heard the phone ringing, He Wenbao looked at it with some annoyance. This should be a call from the Provincial Party Committee. What tricks are they planning to play?

Looking at the incoming call, it turned out to be the number of the Provincial Party Committee Office. He Wenbao sighed helplessly and slowly picked up the phone. "Hello, this is He Wenbao."

"Comrade He Wenbao? I'm from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. The provincial party committee will hold a meeting at the level of municipal party committee secretaries and mayors tomorrow. You and Comrade Zu Jie must arrive on time. The time is 9 a.m. Well, if possible, your Xichuan is still four hours' drive from the provincial capital, so you'd better come here tonight." The staff there explained according to the procedure.

"Okay, I got it." He Wenbao sighed and hung up the phone.

"Look, the provincial party committee asked Mayor Zu and I to go to a meeting." After He Wenbao hung up the phone, he briefly explained the content.

"A meeting? The secretary and the mayor are going? It's not the end of the year or the beginning of the year, how can a meeting be so important?" Chen Ping asked with some confusion.

But after saying these words, Chen Ping stopped talking, because he had already thought of the answer. That's right, under normal circumstances, the secretary and mayor of a city would not go to the provincial party committee for a meeting at the same time. There must be a head of the city, right? Of course, except for some large meetings, such as the replacement of the provincial party committee leaders, such as the year-end summary and the beginning of the year planning report. But at this time, it is indeed rare to hold such a meeting, but it is still held, which can only mean one thing, that is, the provincial party committee intends to do this in order to disrupt this disaster relief exercise. Once He Wenbao and Zu Jie are not in Xichuan, who can host this exercise?

"The order from above cannot be disobeyed." Zu Jie, who had been silent all this time, sighed and made his attitude clear.

As Zu Jie, who has been working in Kyoto, he attaches great importance to obeying orders. This time the provincial party committee has clearly stated its attitude and also given them a way out. If they still don't know how to advance or retreat and still want to carry out this exercise, it would be tantamount to pushing themselves to the opposite side of the provincial party committee. It is conceivable that this path will most likely not have any good results.

Zu Jie's words were equivalent to expressing his attitude, which left Hong Weiguang speechless. He also knew that from the perspective of He Wenbao and Zu Jie, the order from the Capital Provincial Party Committee was the most important.

"Hi!" Hong Weiguang sighed loudly and was the first to walk out of the meeting room. He knew that he was likely to lose this time. It seemed that he would be one of the biggest losers in this trip to the capital province.

"Let's go too, otherwise we have to get up early tomorrow." He Wenbao didn't know how to persuade Hong Weiguang, so he could only watch him leave. Then he also stood up and said to Zu Jie.

"Okay, let's go now." Zu Jie also nodded.

Next, the three of them left the office together and walked towards the municipal party committee building.

In front of the Municipal Party Committee Building, three cars had already parked there, and He Wenbao walked towards the first car.

Seeing that He Wenbao was really going to attend the provincial party committee meeting, the deputy mayor Chen Ping also sighed. This exercise was aborted before it could even be carried out. He didn't know how to face Feng Sizhe in the future. When he left, everyone made good promises.

Even Chen Ping was thinking that since they did not fully carry out Feng Sizhe's orders this time, he was afraid that one day, when Governor Feng came to power, he would not use them. After all, who would be willing to use people who don't listen to them?

Just when Chen Ping felt that the future was a little bleak, he suddenly saw the phone on He Wenbao's body ringing.

Generally speaking, if it is a small matter, it will be called to the secretary first. If one can call He Wenbao directly, the level will generally not be too low.

He Wenbao was on the phone for a short time, less than a minute in total, but after he finished the call, he became a completely different person. He quickly ran to Zu Jie and Chen Ping and said, "Hold a meeting immediately, gather all the leaders and representatives from all walks of life at home, and start a disaster relief exercise."

He Wenbao's sudden decision made Zu Jie stunned. "Secretary He, aren't we going to the provincial party committee for a meeting?"

"What meeting? This is just an excuse to transfer us two over there. We won't go." He Wenbao waved his hand and said with great confidence.

You know, just now, He Wenbao still had a decadent look on his face, but after receiving the call, he became completely different. Could it be because of the call?

Chen Ping seemed to have thought of something, and walked over and said, "Secretary He, is it the governor who called?"

"Haha." He Wenbao didn't want to hide it. The most important thing was that he also wanted to give Chen Ping and others confidence, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it was the governor who called just now. The governor is still in Kyoto, but he will come to us tomorrow. He said that we should start the exercise, and he will take responsibility for any problems that arise."

He Wenbao was not afraid of trouble, but his status was not enough to handle such a big thing. But now with Feng Sizhe's words, he felt relieved. In fact, he also wanted to continue to implement the previous plan and conduct this exercise, but he knew that if no one helped him, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to. Apart from other things, he couldn't stand the pressure from the provincial party committee. Just like the phone call just now, the provincial party committee could call him to the provincial government for a meeting. At that time, would he still have the opportunity to do what he wanted?

But now that Feng Sizhe called, things were completely different. At least with the governor here, no one could touch him, and he could fully implement the exercise plan.

When Zu Jie heard that it was indeed Feng Sizhe who called, he was also very excited, "Is Governor Feng okay?"

"Of course, who is the governor? Can those villains frame a good man as a bad guy by using crooked means?" Chen Ping said indignantly. He had long been dissatisfied with Ouyang Ling's actions towards Feng Sizhe, but his ability was limited and he could not help much.

"Chen Ping, don't talk nonsense." He Wenbao was very cautious. After all, he had been sitting on the bench for so many years, and he knew what it meant to speak ill of others.

After reprimanding Chen Ping, He Wenbao continued, "Okay, let's get started now. Mayor, you notify the people. Chen Ping, you go organize the meeting room. I'll notify Deputy Minister Hong. I think he'll be happy to hear the news, haha."

In a flash, the entire Xichuan city came into action, and the front of the Municipal Party Committee building was bustling with traffic.

Compared to the busyness of Xichuan City, Feng Sizhe is also busy at the moment. He is packing some of his clothes and carry-on luggage.

He Shasha was helping to clean up and said, "Sizhe, there is no news from the three elders yet, why are you so anxious? Besides, without the order from the central government, you can't leave Beijing now."

"I know, but I know even more clearly that with the three elders stepping forward, my problem will definitely be solved. Even if it cannot be solved, I will go to Xichuan this time even if I am punished. No one can stop me." Feng Sizhe said very firmly.

Since his rebirth, his earliest wish was to keep the Zhao family safe, but as his status rose step by step, his ideals changed, and he quickly got into the role and took the happiness of the world as his own responsibility. Now he knew that his decision could save nearly a million people, so how could he not do it? This time he thought it through, even if he was punished, he had to do something, otherwise, he would be reborn in vain and be "punished" by God in vain.

Hearing that her husband had made the decision, He Shasha knew that she couldn't dissuade him, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you this time, no matter what the future holds."

"Shasha." Feng Sizhe was moved when he heard his beloved wife say this. He couldn't help but grab He Shasha's hand. It was obvious that he wanted to say something.

"Alright, we're an old married couple, why are you still doing this? If Yue Qing sees it, she'll be so embarrassed.

"Haha, ma'am, as you say." Feng Sizhe said in a good mood.

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

Of course, the sudden changes in Xichuan City could not escape the attention of some people in the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee.

Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Tang Jian is currently sitting with Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General Zheng Qinghe.

"What's going on? I heard that He Wenbao and Zu Jie did not rush to the provincial capital, and at the same time convened an emergency meeting of the municipal party committee. They are not really going to hold that meaningless disaster relief drill, are they?" Tang Jian asked, obviously he was a little confused about this move.

During the period when Feng Sizhe was under investigation, the leaders of Xichuan City dared to disobey the instructions of the Provincial Party Committee, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

It is understandable that Zu Jie has the courage to do this. After all, he is a member of the Zu family and has the support of his father. The Ducheng Provincial Party Committee cannot do anything to him. At most, they can just transfer him away. However, He Wenbao's only backer is Feng Sizhe. How can he have such courage?

"Who knows? I just heard about it. I asked someone close to me to call them to inform them. But who knew that it would stimulate the actions there. Humph! I really don't know what these people are thinking." Zheng Qinghe was also a little confused. Obviously, from the analysis of time, he thought it was the call made by his subordinates that stimulated He Wenbao and others.
