Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Since it was still early for the banquet, Miao Zihan took the opportunity to get close to Feng Sizhe and asked in a low voice, "I say, how confident are you that they will come?"

Still with a smile as bright as spring breeze, Feng Sizhe replied softly with a twitch of the corner of his mouth, "I don't have the slightest confidence."

"What?" Miao Zihan was naturally shocked when she heard this, but then she thought that there might still be a lot of people paying attention to her situation at this time, so she immediately returned to normal. However, her tone was much more serious. "You don't have much confidence, but you dare to make such a big fuss. What are you thinking?"

Miao Zihan said these words, of course, mostly out of concern. After all, it is not easy for the Feng family to have such influence and power in the capital province. If no one comes to support today's event, it will undoubtedly be a serious blow to the Feng family. Many people will wonder if the Feng family is no longer viable. If such influence spreads, it will definitely be a big blow to Feng Sizhe himself. She didn't want to see her man suffer an unwarranted attack, so she said these words out of concern.

After hearing Miao Zihan's caring words, Feng Sizhe just laughed, and then his eyes remained level as usual. Although he didn't have much confidence in accomplishing this, even if the worst happened, what could he do? What if no one came? It wouldn't take long for him to prove that his approach was correct. Now he was just trying to give everyone a chance. Of course, deep down, he still hoped that everyone could come, so that at least he could prove to the outside world that their city and province were united.

With only fifteen minutes left before the banquet started, two military vehicles finally arrived from a distance. Comrade Xia Houjie, member of the Provincial Standing Committee and commander of the Provincial Military Region, arrived.

Miao Zihan and Xie Kaiquan did not have any special thoughts about Xia Houjie's coming. They also knew that this person was related to Governor Feng, so it was normal for him to come.

But then two more cars arrived, carrying Executive Vice Governor Zheng Defu and Provincial United Front Work Department Minister Dongfang Renliang.

If Zheng Defu's arrival was not surprising, after all, he worked in the provincial government. If he dared to offend Feng Sizhe, it was conceivable that his future work would not go smoothly. So his coming was expected, but Minister Dongfang's coming was really unexpected.

You know, not long ago, Minister Miao Zihan lost someone's daughter's job, which was equivalent to a slap in the face, but she still came to show her support. This change really made everyone a little puzzled.

But only Feng Sizhe knew very well in his heart that no matter who else came, Dongfang Renliang would come, for one reason only. Fang Xiaozhou called him, so Minister Dongfang, who relied on the Fang family, dared not not come. Otherwise, he would lose his greatest support and become a rootless grass. Anyone with common sense could see which side was more important.

Feng Sizhe stood at the bottom of the steps, smiling and greeting Commander Xia Houjie, Vice Governor Zheng Defu and Minister Dongfang Renliang. Then the three stood behind Feng Sizhe. They didn't want to do this. Being here was a gift to the Feng family. But now that Young Master Feng was not going to the hotel, they naturally couldn't take over. They could only stand there and stand behind Comrade Feng Sizhe like an assistant.

When there were still ten minutes left, a few cars came from a distance. Everyone knew who they were by looking at the license plates from a distance.

Three cars stopped, and the first car was the top man of Ducheng Province, Secretary Xu Chaoqi. The two cars behind him were the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Pang Yijun and the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee Zheng Qinghe. Obviously, they were all from the Xu faction. The three of them came together to give Feng Sizhe enough face, and to show that the Xu faction and the Feng faction were on the same front in the matter of the Aqid Consortium.

"Hello, Secretary Xu." Seeing Xu Chaoqi, Feng Sizhe naturally couldn't put on airs, so he hurriedly walked down a few steps to greet him.

"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Governor." Xu Chaoqi laughed. After all, he had just returned from Kyoto, and he was busy with the affairs of the capital province. It was reasonable for him to thank him for his hard work.

After shaking hands with Xu Chaoqi, Feng Sizhe wondered if he could go back. After all, he was not sure whether other people would come. Now that Secretary Xu could come, he was already very proud and should stop while he was ahead. If he didn't know when to advance or retreat and stayed here, if no other big leaders came, he would have waited here for nothing and would be laughed at for no reason. It was really not worth it.

However, just as Feng Sizhe and Xu Chaoqi were preparing to enter the hotel side by side, a car horn sounded not far away, followed by several cars appearing.

As soon as he saw these cars appear, Feng Sizhe's brows finally relaxed. The best situation had occurred. Looking at those cars, they should be the vehicles of other provincial standing committee leaders. It seems that everyone should be here this time.

As expected, as the car stopped, Deputy Secretary Yu Chunhao, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Tang Jian, and Propaganda Minister Mou Ximing all appeared in front of everyone. At this point, all the current Standing Committee members of the Capital Province appeared, a total of twelve people.

"Haha, welcome, welcome." Feng Sizhe said with a smile to Yu Chunhao and others who were walking towards this side, then turned back to look at Secretary Yin Fenglei and Deputy Director of Feng's Office Liu Jun, "You two stay to receive other comrades, Secretary Xu and others and I will go in first."

All provincial standing committee members were present at the meeting. As soon as the news came out, those middle and high-level cadres who had also received invitations and were waiting for news at any time immediately drove to the provincial party committee hotel. It was obvious that they were also waiting for news, and they were also afraid of standing on the wrong side and making mistakes.

In the largest private room in the hotel, everyone sat down, and then Feng Sizhe stood up and introduced everyone.

Bai Caixia, who had been waiting in the box for a long time, took advantage of an opportunity when no one was around to pinch her husband Alwaleed's arm and whispered, "Well, I told you that my brother Sizhe is the most capable. Now you see, all the leaders of the capital province are here. You don't have to worry about anything anymore."

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry." Alwaleed nodded quickly. During this period, he also learned about the economic policies of the Republic from his eldest grandson Zhi. He knew that if he wanted to invest in a place, the first thing to do was to establish a good relationship with the local government, otherwise it would be difficult to carry out the work. And now, finally seeing all the provincial leaders appear, since they can sit here, it means that they will not do anything about the investment of the Aqid Consortium, so how can he be worried?

Listening to her husband's words, Bai Caixia felt happy in her heart. Other people's affirmation of Brother Sizhe was what she wanted to see most.

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

In the office of the governor of Sanxiang Province.

Hou Weidong was following the Economic Daily of Kyoto, where he saw some articles criticizing the investment promotion behavior of the capital province.

He didn't know why, but when he saw these articles before, he was secretly happy in his heart, as if he saw Feng Sizhe's downfall. But now when he read these articles, he didn't have that kind of thought. Instead, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He couldn't figure out why.

Feng Sizhe has already returned to Ducheng Province, and with his influence he suppressed all internal opposition voices at the first opportunity. It seemed to outsiders that the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government had already learned about this investment promotion plan, and that this plan was the decision of the entire Provincial Party Committee.

Hou Weidong was shocked when he found out about this result. He had not expected Feng Sizhe to have such influence. In this way, even if the central government stopped the business of the Aqide Consortium in Ducheng Province, the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government should bear the responsibility in the end. Feng Sizhe was at most a mistake made by a leader who failed to supervise. Relatively speaking, this small mistake could not do anything to Young Master Feng.

For the first time, Hou Weidong felt that he couldn't control the situation. Back when he was in the Youth League, he was in charge of everything from cadre appointments to organizational work. He would decide what would happen, and when he wanted to promote someone, that person would rise quickly. This made him feel that he had the world's situation under his control.

Just like this time when he was appointed by the organization to work in Sanxiang Province, as soon as he arrived here, he used the influence of the Hou family to quickly gain a foothold here, and also had a seat in the provincial standing committee. Moreover, even many middle and high-level leaders from the lower cities came to vote for him. It can be said that his process of taking control of Sanxiang Province was very smooth. He even believed that within two or three years, he would be able to fully control it, and promotion to secretary would be a natural result.

Everything was going smoothly, but when it came to Feng Sizhe, things started to go wrong, which made him somewhat distressed. Could it be that this person was really the nemesis of his life? Was this person really that difficult to deal with?

"Boss, Comrade Lu Xingye, the mayor of Jianghuai City, is outside the door and wants to report to you." The secretary pushed the door open and walked in, reporting to Hou Weidong.

"Please let him in." Hou Weidong nodded.

Then, Lu Xingye came in. Because Hou Weidong was appointed as the governor recently, he came over at the first opportunity, and finally his bad situation in Jianghuai City was gradually alleviated. When everyone knew his relationship with the new governor, some people had already joined his side, and he also believed that more and more people would stand on his side in the future, which gradually made him feel like the mayor of a city.

"Xingye is here, please take a seat." When Hou Weidong saw Lu Xingye, his face was full of joy, as if he had met an old friend.
