Rebirth of the Rising Sun

While repeating this, Hou Zhennan's face did not look good. It was obvious that this time it was Tang Yi who was clarifying the issue for Feng Sizhe. This was definitely a bad sign.

After hearing this, Hou Weidong was obviously stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Tang Yi would think so highly of Feng Sizhe.

I won't go into much detail about Tang Yi's identity here. Such a person would actually value Feng Sizhe so much and make excuses for him. What does this mean? I'm afraid this is the real reason why Hou Weidong was shocked.

As if he could see the shock on his son's face, Hou Zhennan continued, "I am also extremely shocked that Comrade Tang Yi could say these words. I even specifically asked your grandfather about this matter."

Hearing that his father had asked his grandfather, Hou Weidong quickly said, "Then I wonder what grandpa would say."

"Haha, grandpa didn't say anything. He just said, how could something that has been decided many years ago be changed so easily?" When Hou Zhennan said this, he was obviously relieved. Apparently, this answer made him feel relieved.

"How can something that has been decided for many years be changed so easily?" Hou Weidong chewed on this sentence carefully, and then his expression relaxed. "Yes, Grandpa is right. This matter was decided a long time ago. Although it cannot be said to be set in stone, it will be extremely difficult to change it."

What Hou Weidong was talking about was naturally that he would become the successor after Tang Yi. As he said, although there was no party rule that stated that Hou Weidong would be the successor of the party in the future, but similarly, although there was no written provision, the matter had been discussed and basically settled. If that was the case, it would be much more difficult to change it. At least Tang Yi alone could not change this situation.

Hou Zhennan's face was somewhat relaxed. To be honest, his political wisdom was not very high. He became the secretary of Guangdong Province only by relying on his father's influence and his own efforts. This was a great achievement for him. Being able to enter the Central Political Bureau was already a very good result. He knew that after he finished this term, he would have to retire. Facing this, he had no complaints, because he saw that his son was about to rise. As long as his son could stand up, it would not matter if he, as a father, retired early and made some sacrifices.

Hou Zhennan just hopes that his son will not disappoint him and his father.

"Okay, Weidong, you understand what happened this time. Now that Comrade Tang Yi has stood up to speak for Feng Sizhe, I think we should not target him anymore, but let's settle the deputy secretary's matter first." Hou Zhennan obviously did not want to be an opponent of Tang Yi. For this reason, he decided to avoid this person, or give him enough face and not cause trouble for Feng Sizhe. Instead, he would start with the position of deputy secretary of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee. After everything was settled, he would make long-term plans.

"Okay." How could Hou Weidong not know the power relationship between them? Besides, although the Hou family is strong, if they go to trouble the Zuo family and the Zhao family at the same time, there will be a lot of problems. So instead of doing that, it is better to pick the soft persimmon first.

After Comrade Feng Sizhe's efforts after his rebirth, the Zhao family has become very powerful, even far surpassing the Zuo family. This has to be said to be a real achievement.

The Zuo family had no idea that the Hou family was planning to interfere in their affairs, and Comrade Zuo Zhongqing had been working hard for his son's affairs for some time.

Zuo Zhongqing was also thinking far ahead. With his ability, he could indeed make the Zuo family occupy a place in the entire country, but what would happen once he retired? In this era of talent, if the next generation of the Zuo family did not have a truly outstanding talent, then the power of the Zuo family would eventually be lost in the tide of politics.

In order for the Zuo family to continue its past glory, Zuo Zhongqing will naturally go all out for his son's matter this time. In the past few days, his job is to try his best to communicate with the central leaders who can play a role in his son's promotion. He hopes to convince more people to help his son's progress this time.

The influence of the Zuo family is undoubtedly great. Since the time of Zuo Daoyuan, the father of the Zuo family, the Zuo family began to rise, and then it was further developed in the hands of Zuo Zhongqing. With the efforts of two generations, their network of relationships is naturally extremely large. With such a strong strength, it does not seem too difficult to pursue a position as a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Even after these few days of visits, Zuo Zhongqing's confidence has grown. More than one person has expressed in person that they will support Zuo Bing's case. As a result, Zuo Zhongqing feels at ease.

Just when Zuo Zhongqing thought that things would be settled like this and there would be no more changes, suddenly another voice was heard in the central leadership. Guangdong Provincial Party Committee member, Standing Committee Deputy Provincial Governor Lianfa also aspired to the role of deputy secretary of the Beijing Provincial Party Committee. Some central government leaders had already called the Organization Department and asked them to start considering this candidate. This matter suddenly popped up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, completely catching Zuo Zhongqing off guard.

A Min Lianfa would naturally not attract much attention from Zuo Zhongqing. Although Guangdong Province is a major economic province in the country and its total economic output is also among the highest in the country, after all, this person is just a deputy governor. How could a deputy provincial-level cadre be taken seriously by the secretary of the Kyoto Municipal Party Committee?

But the problem is that this time Min Lianfa is not representing himself, but the Hou family, another powerful family whose strength and influence is far greater than the Zuo family.

As soon as the incident happened, Zuo Zhongqing immediately returned to his home and met his father Zuo Daoyuan, who had already retired from the position of Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress. The Hou family was powerful, and their strong intervention in this matter was self-evident. What he should do next must be to seek his father's opinion.

Zuo Daoyuan's health is not very good. When he was young, he just worked very hard. Now that he is old, many old illnesses have begun to rebel in his body. For this reason, when he has nothing to do, he usually stays at home. Only occasionally, when he is in good health, he will visit some old friends.

When Zuo Zhongqing returned home, he saw his father leaning on a chair, enjoying the food being fed to him by his son Zuo Bing, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Just as Hou Zhennan is satisfied with his son Hou Weidong, Zuo Zhongqing is also very satisfied with his son Zuo Bing.

Zuo Bing was usually very calm and organized, and rarely acted out of loyalty, and he was not like some children in other comrades' families who only relied on the power of their family to gain power and gain benefits. On the contrary, Zuo Bing rarely used his family when doing things, and that was why when his son suddenly came back from Ducheng Province and said he needed his father's help and the family's help to compete for the position of deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Zuo Zhongqing agreed without much hesitation.

Zuo Zhongqing believed in his son and believed that Zuo Bing was a capable official and a good cadre with integrity. He would do his best to help such a person, not to mention his son, even if he was his subordinate, when there was something that needed his help.

"Dad." Zuo Bing, who was feeding his child, noticed Zuo Zhongqing's arrival and called out quickly.

"Zhongqing is here." Hearing his grandson's call, Zuo Daoyuan, who was looking at his grandson with a kind face, finally raised his head and glanced at Zuo Zhongqing.

"Yes, Dad, I'm here." Zuo Zhongqing agreed quickly. In a big family like theirs, the hierarchy is still very strict. For example, when he was young, he responded to the country's call and went to the countryside to train. For this reason, he did not experience much of the father-son relationship that he should have enjoyed. Later, he returned to the city from the countryside through personal efforts, and then mixed in the gay scene and began to climb up step by step. Of course, it would be unrealistic to say that there was no help from his father.

Not to mention anything else, just once they knew that Zuo Zhongqing was Zuo Daoyuan's son, it would be hard to say whether these people would give him extra care.

Zuo Zhongqing also deeply understood this truth. He knew clearly in his heart that without his father, he would not be where he is today. Without his father, he would not have been able to stand out from the crowd and become the secretary of the Kyoto Municipal Party Committee.

"Dad, have you eaten? I would have asked Aunt Wu to make you a portion." Zuo Bing was obviously very happy to see his father. He thought that it was already noon and his father might not have had lunch yet, so he said hurriedly.

"Okay." Seeing his son being so filial, Zuo Zhongqing nodded with satisfaction and agreed.

Afterwards, the family's nanny, Mrs. Wu, appeared with four dishes and a soup, and then three generations of the family sat down at the table. It was a very heartwarming scene.

When eating, everyone abided by the gentleman's way of not talking while eating, so the meal was finished in less than fifteen minutes. After Wu Ma cleared away the food, Zuo Daoyuan was the first to speak, "Zhong Qing, do you have anything to say?"

As a father and one of the leaders of Zeng, Zuo Daoyuan's observation ability is very strong. Although his health is not very good, this observation ability is not hindered at all. He has already sensed something from his son's expression.

Zuo Zhongqing was not surprised at all that his father would ask this question. If his father had not observed it, then he would be really surprised. Therefore, facing this question, he agreed without any pause, "Yes, Dad, something happened. The Hou family suddenly wanted to intervene in the position of deputy secretary of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee."
