Rebirth of the Rising Sun

In fact, with Feng Sizhe's reputation, influence and status, there was no need for him to greet Yuan Weimin in advance, but he still called him, which was enough to move him. What's more, the candidate for acting member of the Standing Committee and deputy governor proposed by Feng Sizhe was indeed more suitable than himself, so Yuan Weimin himself had nothing to say.

"Comrades, do you have any good ideas? Feel free to speak up." Although Feng Sizhe has completely taken control of the provincial government, he still fully demonstrates his democratic spirit. He knows very well that the more powerful he is, the more eyes will be on him. Therefore, he needs to act according to the rules at this time and not give any handles to others.

As soon as Feng Sizhe said this, several people who liked to flatter others stood up. In their opinion, this seemed to be an opportunity to please Feng Sizhe, and they didn't want to miss it.

"Governor, my personal opinion is that Comrade Yuan Weimin is more suitable for this position." He Maolin, the deputy governor in charge of security and justice, was the first to speak.

"Yes, I agree with Vice Governor He's opinion. In terms of seniority and ability, I think Comrade Yuan Weimin is the best candidate." Vice Governor Ma Weigan also spoke out.

Before, he was in charge of the province's commerce, quality supervision, industry and commerce, and construction, but later these were snatched away by Xia Yu. He also did some unimportant work. As someone who had lost power, he knew the value of power. For this reason, he had made up his mind to flatter Feng Sizhe and strive to see the light of day again one day.

After being recommended by two comrades in succession, Yuan Weimin quickly said, "Thank you for your trust, comrades. However, I feel that my own abilities are limited. I don't think I am suitable for this position. I recommend Comrade Xie Kaiquan to take over this position."

Suddenly, Yuan Weimin declined and recommended a new candidate, which surprised others.

Everyone is confused, is Yuan Weimin doing this just for show or is he really recommending it?

Speaking of which, Xie Kaiquan is certainly suitable. He used to be one of the provincial standing committee members. Later, in order to make room for Ji Quanyong, he withdrew from the provincial standing committee. In terms of seniority, he is certainly the strongest one. But in the final analysis, this person has a biggest flaw, that is, he is from the Ji faction.

Xie Kaiquan is Mr. Fang's godson and Ji Quanyong's younger brother. However, due to the never-ending feud between Ji Fan and the Feng faction, even if this person has made some contributions, it would be good enough for him to keep his current position. How could he possibly make another move?

At that moment, many people looked at Yuan Weimin in confusion. Obviously, no one could guess why he said that.

Xie Kaiquan was also prepared to speak out in support of Yuan Weimin.

During the Xichuan earthquake, the two had worked together before, and they actually had a sense of mutual appreciation, and they both felt that the other was a pragmatic person and a capable and good cadre. So if Yuan Weimin could temporarily take over Zou Anlin's position and become the third in command of the provincial government, he would also fully support it.

Xie Kaiquan knew very well that he should not think about this position. After all, his background was there, and he was from the Ji family. Feng Sizhe had maintained a good relationship with him before, and that was entirely due to work. Now that he has complete control over the provincial government, he should keep a certain distance from him.

Therefore, after hearing Yuan Weimin recommending him, Xie Kaiquan quickly said, "Vice Governor Yuan, please don't say that. I think you are the most suitable candidate. I support you."

After Xie Kaiquan said this, there were three votes in support of Yuan Weimin. Even if the provincial government's secretary-general Zhang Yang was included, there were only nine people attending the meeting. This accounted for one-third of the votes. It can be said that if everything went well, this position would belong to Yuan Weimin.

Feng Sizhe listened to the two people being polite to each other and a smile appeared on his face. Then he turned his gaze to Zhang Yang who was sitting at the back.

Zhang Yang is Feng Sizhe's confidant. He has been following the Feng faction since Xia Yu recommended him. Now he can be regarded as a core figure of the Feng faction.

As soon as Zhang Yang saw Feng Sizhe's gaze drifting towards him, he nodded silently, and then suddenly said, "I support Comrade Xie Kaiquan."

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, several other deputy governors who were about to speak were stunned. They suddenly smelled a different smell, that is, perhaps in Governor Feng's mind, the real candidate for the Standing Committee Deputy Governor should be Xie Kaiquan.

Everyone was wondering who Zhang Yang was. He was definitely one of the closest people to Feng Sizhe. Would this person's attitude represent Governor Feng's attitude?

When everyone thought of this, they suddenly realized it, and the first person to react was Executive Vice Governor Zheng Defu, who said, "I also support Comrade Xie Kaiquan."

As Zheng Defu spoke, the other deputy governors who had not spoken yet all came to their senses and said one by one, "I also support Comrade Xie Kaiquan."

"I support it too."

It can be said that the wind direction suddenly changed in an instant. This change made Xie Kaiquan, whose name was mentioned, stunned. He sighed in his heart, what's wrong with these people? Don't they know the relationship between him and the Ji family? And they insisted on letting him take the lead like this. Do they really want to harm him?

While Xie Kaiquan was still analyzing the purpose of these people, Feng Sizhe suddenly spoke up, "I also support Comrade Xie Kaiquan."

With just this one sentence, things became clear. Obviously, in Governor Feng's impression, Xie Kaiquan was more suitable for this position. The reason why he asked everyone to discuss was to show democracy. When things deviated from the track, he asked Zhang Yang to express his opinions, which unified everyone's thoughts in a timely manner. This must be said to be a brilliant political tactic.

As soon as Feng Sizhe opened his mouth, the matter was settled. After all, now in the provincial government, even if everyone opposed it, as long as he agreed, there was no personnel order that could not be passed.

Immediately, Xie Kaiquan was approved with a high number of votes, and he temporarily took over the position of Standing Committee Member and Vice Governor. Of course, some of his work divisions did not change, but he was added with the job of being in charge of the province's agriculture.

After this matter was settled, Feng Sizhe said, "Since Xia Yu has been investigated, someone needs to do the work he was originally responsible for. I propose that Comrade Yuan Weimin be responsible for the province's quality supervision, industry and commerce, construction, etc. Does anyone have any opinions?"

This time, Feng Sizhe did not try to get everyone's opinions, but instead directly expressed his own thoughts.

Who would oppose Feng Sizhe's decision? It was immediately unanimously approved by everyone.

At this point, Xie Kaiquan and Yuan Weimin, who had followed Feng Sizhe's footsteps closely, were quickly rewarded and benefited, and both became deputy governors with great power.

This resolution of the provincial government was quickly spread, and all the cadres who heard the news had no choice but to envy the two men for being lucky enough to follow the right people. After all, the most difficult person to shake in the Capital Province was Feng Sizhe, and no one would openly oppose his decision.

What's more important is that as the head of a province, Feng Sizhe has the right to adjust some work within the provincial government, which is something even Xu Chaoqi cannot interfere with.

With Xie Kaiquan and Yuan Weimin holding important powers, Feng Sizhe's position in the provincial government became more solid. As Huayuan remained stable, he could focus on doing other work.

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

In a residential complex belonging to a provincial government, a slim and pretty woman in her thirties was returning from the vegetable market.

"Hey, Secretary Liu, are you back from get off work?" Someone greeted the woman warmly.

"Yes, Aunt Wang, go out." Officer Liu also greeted people with a smile.

This person's name is Liu Jiao. He is an ordinary clerk in the Policy Research Office of the Provincial Government. Naturally, everyone calls him Secretary Liu.

She is both ordinary and extraordinary, because she is the wife of Liu Jun, the lover of Liu Jun, a cadre in the office of the provincial government who had been following Feng Sizhe during the Xichuan earthquake and had performed extremely well.

During the period when Yin Fenglei and Zhang Yang were both under investigation, Liu Jun even followed Feng Sizhe for a period of time and acted as a secretary.

Being able to serve as a secretary to the governor, even if it is a temporary secretary, is a job that all middle and lower-level cadres are scrambling for. However, because Young Master Feng's situation was very bad at the time, naturally this position was not only not in high demand, but also became a hot potato. At the time, only Liu Jun dared to do so. Others would have avoided it.

Now that Feng Sizhe's authority is at its peak, naturally people like Liu Jun who once followed him in times of crisis have become his favorites, and many people will sigh that they are so forward-thinking.

Liu Jiao was walking on the way home when she saw from afar a tall figure standing and wandering downstairs of her house.

As soon as she saw that figure, Liu Jiao naturally stopped there. She really couldn't believe that her brother would be waiting for her downstairs at home.

It is normal for a brother to visit his sister, but it is completely different for Liu Jiao, because she and her brother Liu Shan have not seen each other for six years.

Actually, this is because of family background.

At the beginning, Liu Jiao was admitted to Metropolitan University, where he met his senior, Liu Jun, the vice president of the Metropolitan University Student Union.

The man was handsome, sunny and capable. The woman was pretty and was known as the freshman beauty. Liu Jiao became the undisputed campus beauty of Capital University as soon as she entered the university.
