Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Of course, Qin Xianghua would not say too much, and these things were not what he should worry about now. It was a foregone conclusion that Tang Yi would take over after him, so he should leave these things to him to plan. When the time came, he would need to retire and enjoy a peaceful life. He had been working hard and making progress all these years, and he was indeed a little tired.

Let's not talk about what the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders are thinking now. After Wen Ruhao and Lu Xingye left Comrade Duan Jianghe, they quickly gathered with Hou Weidong at the Century Hotel.

"How is it?" Even with Hou Weidong's temperament, he was a little impatient at this moment. He had lost face in the matter of the Aqid Consortium, and he had to get it back this time.

"Haha, there's a chance." Lu Xingye said as if seeking credit.

Wen Ruhao frowned when he heard this. He was a little unhappy that Lu Xingye suddenly joined Hou Weidong's team, and he appeared as a subordinate instead of a partner. In his opinion, the Lu family is a big family, and even the influence is far greater than that of the Wen family. Now Lu Xingye's career is just not going well for a while, but he is still young after all. As long as he finds the problem, works hard, and performs well, he still has a chance to rise. But if he loses confidence now and joins someone else's team, it is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to stand alone, which is really unwise.

Wen Ruhao also said this out of his love for Lu Xingye. But the other person's answer was that he did this for a purpose. Looking at the current situation, Hou Weidong has a great chance of becoming the future successor, so it would be of great benefit to have a good relationship with such a person in the future. Besides, who says that being a disciple of someone else is an unchangeable fact? There is no written agreement between the two parties. If something goes wrong in the future, he can just jump out. With the power of the Lu family, it should not be a problem to protect him alone.

Wen Ruhao did not agree with Lu Xingye's statement, but he also knew that what he said was useless, so he just turned a blind eye. But now, seeing that Lu Xingye was obviously trying to take credit, he still frowned with some disdain.

When Hou Weidong heard Lu Xingye say there was a chance, he became excited. "Oh, what did he say? Did the leader say something? Did he criticize the way the capital province did it?"

"That's not the case." Lu Xingye shook his head. "Although he didn't say anything, I could tell that the chief was very angry and very dissatisfied with the way the Capital Province did it. Hehe, I think it won't be long before the Central Government talks to the comrades from the Capital Province, especially the ones who are in charge."

When talking about the comrade who was mainly responsible, there was obvious hatred in Lu Xingye's eyes. It was obvious that he thought that Feng Sizhe should be the main person responsible for this matter.

"Well, that's pretty much what I thought." Hou Weidong nodded in satisfaction. To be honest, he also thought that the capital province was in trouble this time. If the central government's economic policy was suddenly tampered with, it would definitely be a big deal. If the higher-ups didn't care and other provinces followed suit, wouldn't the country be in chaos in the future? So even he thought that Feng Sizhe would definitely be in trouble this time, it was just a matter of degree. Based on this idea, he decided to add fuel to the fire.

"I say, we can't just report this matter like this and be done with it. I think we still need to do something, such as making full use of the media to report this matter. In this way, even if the Capital Province wants to change it, it will not have any chance. Even if it wants to change it, it will be passive. Don't you think so?" When Hou Weidong said these words, there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes. It was obvious that the Capital Province really pissed him off this time.

"Well, I think it's okay." After hearing this suggestion, Wen Ruhao and Lu Xingye both nodded. As long as the matter was reported, it would be considered that the capital province would change it back immediately, which would be passive, and the negative influence would also exist.

The three of them immediately discussed and planned again and decided what to do next.

After doing all this, Hou Weidong spoke again, "The representative from the Capital Province is still in the hotel. I really don't like that guy and want to teach him a lesson. If you two have time, why don't you go together?"

Wen Ruhao and Lu Xingye reported the problem to their superiors, which was a dissatisfaction with the entire Ducheng Province, while Zhang Yang's case was indeed Hou Weidong's personal dissatisfaction. In the eyes of Young Master Hou, it is one thing for me to target Ducheng Province, and it is another thing to deal with you, Zhang Yang.

When Wen Ruhao heard this, he shook his head without hesitation. Not to mention that he didn't want to get involved in this mess, just the fact that he used the title of deputy secretary to mess with a government secretary general was already lowering his own status. Naturally, he disdained to do such a thing.

"I'm sorry, you two. I have a lot of things to do when I return to Beijing this time, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company." Wen Ruhao simply found an excuse to slip away. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing where power was used to pressure others.

Wen Ruhao can leave, but Lu Xingye cannot. Hou Weidong is in his prime right now. If he withdraws at this moment, he will definitely offend others. He thinks that he works in Sanxiang Province. If he is looked down upon by Young Master Hou, his work will become even more difficult.

With no other choice, Lu Xingye followed Hou Weidong's footsteps and walked towards the room where the Capital Province delegation was staying.

After the Aqid Group announced its economic cooperation with the Capital Province, the staff of the Century Hotel immediately helped it to change rooms. The delegations from other provinces had all left, and there were still many vacant rooms on the first floor.

Under this circumstance, Zhang Yang was able to get a better housing condition. Just now, he and Chang Sunzhi had the first round of negotiations and agreed to return to Ducheng Province for a field investigation in two days. In fact, it was called an investigation, but both Zhang Yang and Chang Sunzhi knew very well that they had no say in this matter. The high-level officials of both sides had already met and made a decision. They were just pretending to talk and finalizing some details.

Just as Chang Sun Zhi walked out of Zhang Yang's room, Hou Weidong, Lu Xingye and others arrived with a large group of followers. It was just when Zhang Yang was seeing off the guests and turning back. When he saw these people coming towards him, he hurriedly stood aside respectfully.

Zhang Yang knew Hou Weidong, although he was not familiar with his hidden identity. However, he was the acting governor of Sanxiang Province, a real rival of Ducheng Province. He was very clear about this.

Seeing Hou Weidong coming, Zhang Yang moved to the side of the corridor out of politeness. With the thought that he could neither afford to provoke nor to hide from him, he just stood aside.

Hou Weidong and his companions came here to cause trouble, but now they see Zhang Yang being so low-key and even giving way to them early in the morning. This makes them feel like they have no place to use their strength and are very angry, and they are very unhappy.

Hou Weidong was confident of his status and naturally did not want to cause trouble for Zhang Yang directly, so he coughed lightly and signaled Lu Xingye to go and cause trouble.

Although Lu Xingye is a member of the Lu family, he is still just a mayor. In terms of rank, he is equal to Zhang Yang, so it is appropriate for him to come forward. Therefore, Lu Xingye had to take a deep breath and start to make trouble for Zhang Yang who was already leaning on the side, "What's wrong with you, comrade? Don't you know how to greet the leader when you see him? I really don't know how your leaders in Ducheng Province taught you to be so ignorant."

Lu Xingye was just looking for trouble. Not to mention that Zhang Yang was not a cadre of Sanxiang Province, so there was no need to greet the leaders of Sanxiang Province. Just to say that they had just played a match and he won. If he took the initiative to greet them at this time, would it be a show-off?

Zhang Yang actually thought about whether he should take the initiative to say hello to the leader, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. Maybe it would be better if he didn't say anything, but if he did, it might cause misunderstandings, and that would cause big trouble.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingye actually took the initiative to ask this question. Zhang Yang thought about it for a moment, and then quickly said, "Hello, leader."

"Hello, leader? Which leader are you calling? You must know that this is the governor of our Sanxiang Province. I wonder why you are so perfunctory, comrade. What's wrong with your attitude?" Seeing Zhang Yang was so honest, Lu Xingye immediately became more confident. He took advantage of someone's inadequate words and started to find faults. In fact, this is the only way he can do now. You ask someone to call you, and they will call you. What else do you want?

"Yes, it's my fault. Hello, Governor Hou." Zhang Yang was well-mannered and, most importantly, tolerant. The setbacks in his career in the capital province had tempered his character. Now that he was in front of a leader who was several levels higher than him, he could naturally hold his temper. He quickly admitted his mistake and changed his words to say, "Hello, Governor Hou."

Zhang Yang's performance was quite satisfactory, at least there was nothing to fault with him immediately, which made Hou Weidong and Lu Xingye frown. They had not expected that the representative sent by Feng Sizhe was so good-tempered that they really could not find any fault with him. If they could not find any fault, they would not continue to get angry.

After Lu Xingye tried twice and got no response, he felt bored. After all, how could you be so embarrassed to make things difficult for someone who would do whatever you said? He couldn't find any suitable reason, so he turned his gaze to Hou Weidong, intending to ask for instructions.
