Rebirth of the Rising Sun

While Fang Lingguang went to find Yu Chunhao, Tang Gui, the Director of Transportation Department of Ducheng Province, went to beat Yang Ding.

Yang Ding, deputy secretary-general of the General Office of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee, is a state cadre at the department level. However, even such a department-level cadre has an influence that is unmatched by any department-level cadre in the entire Ducheng Province. There is only one reason for this: this person used to be Ji Quanyong's secretary.

When Ji Quanyong was in Fengyunducheng Province for more than ten years, he worked as a secretary for more than ten years. It is conceivable how great the influence of such a person would be.

However, this time Ji Quanyong fled the capital without taking Yang Ding with him, which made his position very embarrassing.

In fact, Yang Ding had the opportunity to develop himself. Ji Quanyong once asked him if he was willing to work in the city. As long as he was willing, he could choose from all the cities under the Capital Province. As long as he agreed, he would immediately become the secretary of the municipal party committee.

Faced with such a good opportunity, Yang Ding finally gave up for one reason. He believed that Ji Quanyong could still lead Ducheng Province for a few years. After these years, his qualifications would be sufficient. At that time, it would not be a big problem for him to be directly appointed as a deputy governor. If that were the case, he would have crossed the hurdle from bureau level to ministerial level.

As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. What no one expected was that Feng Sizhe suddenly came to the capital province and completely defeated Ji Quanyong in less than a year.

Of course, this was also due to some operational errors made by Ji Quanyong, but it was undeniable that Ji Quanyong did fail this time, and failed completely. If it weren't for Mr. Fang's help, he would probably have retired directly. But even so, he only went to the National People's Congress, but the position was not as good as originally designed.

Ji Quanyong left, and Yang Ding became the most disappointed person. Because he left in a hurry, there was no time to arrange for Yang Ding, so even if he wanted to go to the local area to serve as a municipal party secretary, there was no chance.

Tang Gui was a person who was promoted by Yang Ding beside Ji Quanyong. At that time, it was through the relationship with Secretary Yang that he got the position of deputy director of the Transportation Department, and then executive deputy director, and then he removed the word "deputy". Every step had the shadow of Yang Ding.

It was for this reason that when Feng Sizhe asked the Provincial Transportation Department to build a secondary road in Xichuan, he asked Yang Ding for instructions. At that time, Yang Ding naturally sided with Ji Quanyong, so Tang Gui did not fully cooperate with Feng Sizhe's work. Now that Ji's system is suddenly failing and Feng's system is rising, how can Tang Gui not be anxious?

It can be said that Tang Guiyou was anxious from the moment Feng Sizhe proposed the slogan of simplifying the administration. He knew that the cadres that Feng Sizhe disliked would not end up well this time, and he was undoubtedly one of them. Now that he heard that the new provincial organization minister was completely in the same mind as Governor Feng, he was even more afraid. In desperation, he had to come to Yang Ding, hoping to find a better solution.

If we must say what Yang Ding's current situation is, it is that he can hardly protect himself. But even so, he does want to protect Tang Gui, because only when the people he promoted can stay in their original positions, his influence will be great enough, and this is his capital to negotiate with other provincial leaders.

"Secretary Yang, you must give me an idea this time. Now the people from the Provincial Bureau of Statistics and the Provincial Planning Agency have moved into our Department of Transportation. I'm scared." After seeing Yang Ding, Tang Gui had a servile look on his face. It was obvious that he was really scared this time.

Although Feng Sizhe cannot control the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he can indeed control the Statistics Bureau and the Planning Agency under the jurisdiction of his provincial government. With these two units, as long as he investigates a person seriously, it is easy to find problems.

Seeing Tang Gui's cowardly look, Yang Ding sighed in his heart. He knew that it was unlikely for such a person who was not good enough to do anything and was always bad to retain the position of the Minister of Transportation in the new structure of the capital province. Now he was lucky to be able to keep his rank. After all, everyone knew that he was promoted by himself. If he could keep his rank in this government streamlining action, then some people would definitely look at him with new eyes, and it was even possible that they would regain their confidence. If so, his influence would not be reduced to the lowest level, which would also be of some benefit to him personally.

It was for this reason that Yang Ding thought that he should help Tang Gui overcome this difficulty.

"Tang Gui, I really want to help you this time, but you are also aware of my current situation, so it depends more on you. Of course, I can't tell you for sure that you can avoid this storm, but as long as you believe in me, I can guarantee that your level will not change. This is the best I can do now." Although Yang Ding is not older than Tang Gui, he speaks with a shrewd attitude.

"Ah, as long as I can keep my rank." Hearing that Yang Ding was not going to abandon him, and was going to give him advice, and even said that he could guarantee his rank, he immediately became excited. In fact, what he feared most now was that Yang Ding would abandon him, because he knew very well that with the fact that he had offended Feng Sizhe in the past, and even openly opposed him, it was clear that he would not be able to keep his position as the director. If he could still keep his rank this time, it would be a great fortune among great fortunes.

Seeing Tang Gui's grateful expression, Yang Ding was very pleased. "Okay, let's proceed in two steps. First, I will talk to Secretary Xu about your situation and try to get him to speak up for you. As long as he is willing to speak, I believe your problem will not be too big. Of course, you also know that I am not as smart as before when talking to Secretary Xu, so you have to make a second preparation, which is to start with Governor Feng."

Hearing that Yang Ding would go to Xu Chaoqi, Tang Gui still looked very grateful. After all, Xu Chaoqi was the secretary, and Feng Sizhe should give him some respect. But when he heard that he had to prepare to go to Feng Sizhe, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "Secretary Yang, I've tried to go to Governor Feng, but he won't see me now."

Seeing that Tang Gui lost his temper before he could even finish speaking, Yang Ding couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. Why didn't he realize that this person was so useless before? If he had known that this person was like this, he would not have tried so hard to promote him.

However, these were just thoughts in his mind. Tang Gui's affairs were related to his own influence and authority. Helping others now was equivalent to helping himself.

"Hey, Tang Gui, wait for me to finish. Yes, Governor Feng may not want to see you now, but since you can't see him, you can start with the people around him." Yang Ding said as if to explain.

As Ji Quanyong's former secretary, he knew too well how big an impact the words of people around the leader could have on certain matters, so it was his instinctive idea to start with the people around Feng Sizhe.

"Start with the people around the governor? Who? Director Yin Fenglei? But I don't have any friendship with him." Although he felt that what Yang Ding said made some sense, Tang Gui thought that because he had always relied on Yang Ding, he did not respect Feng Sizhe enough, and he would not respect the people around him. Is it feasible to ask for help from others at this time?

"What? Is there no one else around the governor except his secretary? Let me tell you, start with Secretary-General Zhang Yang, do you understand?" Yang Ding guessed that Tang Gui would not be able to figure out what to do, so he simply went all out.

"Zhang Yang?" Upon hearing this name, Tang Gui actually nodded.

Before Feng Sizhe came to the Capital Province, Zhang Yang was just a deputy secretary-general, and he was a person with little power and low ranking, so naturally he didn't have any airs. In addition, Zhang Yang was also an old man in the Capital Province, so Tang Gui also knew him, but the relationship was not very deep. But after all, they knew each other, and it was better to find this person to find a solution than to find Yin Fenglei, who had never made any contact.

"Well, I did know Secretary Zhang before. We've talked and even had dinner together. But now that he is so valued by the governor, will he pay attention to me?" Tang Gui asked with some lack of confidence.

"How do you know if you don't try? As far as I know, Zhang Yang is very capable. I believe that based on your previous acquaintance, he will not refuse you. It's just that you don't have many opportunities. It may be very difficult to invite him out once, so you must seize this opportunity and try to get him in one go. And as long as he is willing to speak for you in front of the governor, I believe your problem this time will not be too big." Yang Ding instilled his ideas into Tang Gui, which was something he had thought about before.

He had no idea how to deal with Feng Sizhe's rise, so he thought about how to get along well with this person. After thinking about it, he thought of Zhang Yang. After all, this person was a veteran cadre of the Capital Province, and he had some intricate relationships with many former comrades in the Capital Province. As long as the method was right, he believed that he could persuade this person to help him say some good words.

Besides, Yang Ding's request this time was not high. He did not ask Tang Gui to remain in the position of Minister of Transportation. On the contrary, he was indeed prepared to sacrifice this position, and his request was only to ensure that nothing went wrong. He believed that Feng Sizhe should be able to accept this not-so-big request.

Yang Ding was a little embarrassed when he said this, after all, he couldn't keep Tang Gui's position, but now was no longer the time for Ji Quanyong to have the final say, and this was the only option he had. At least, his vision was much smarter than Fang Lingguang's, who chose to join Yu Chunhao to resist Feng Sizhe, but he chose to surrender, which was also his smartness.
