Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Feng Sizhe came to Kyoto.

This very common thing happened during this special period, and it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. No wonder the period when Young Master Feng came to Kyoto was too sensitive.

The position of deputy secretary of the Capital Provincial Party Committee is still vacant. As the governor of Capital Province, it would be better for him not to come to Kyoto during this special period, especially since the previous deputy secretary was fired under his leadership. So what is the point of his coming here now?

Is he here to show off his power and his ruthless tactics?

The answer is of course no. Then what is he here for? To interfere with and influence the organization’s decision on the selection of the new deputy secretary?

The answer seems to be no, at least not on the surface, because Feng Sizhe drove to the State Council as soon as he got off the plane, ready to report directly to Deputy Director Zheng Zhi.

Comrade Zheng Zhi is now in charge of the country's major economic work. Is he here to report on economic work? But why did he choose this time to come? Is this really a coincidence or is there something else going on?

All sorts of speculations spread among the central ministries for a while, but no matter what the speculation was, most people believed that he should not have chosen to come to the central government at such a sensitive time.

Feng Sizhe himself did not have any taboos at all and just walked into the office of Comrade Zheng Zhi of the State Council.

Zheng Zhi's work schedule was already arranged, so he didn't have time to receive this unexpected visitor. However, after considering the current situation, he still thought that he should meet Feng Sizhe. He also wanted to see what the purpose of Young Master Feng's visit was. He didn't think that such a smart young governor would be so ignorant of the importance of the situation and have no sense of politics.

In the deputy manager's office, Feng Sizhe walked in under the guidance of the secretary. As soon as he came in, he saw Zheng Zhi sitting at the desk with a serious expression on his face, reviewing documents without even raising his head.

This was not the first time that Feng Sizhe had encountered such treatment. Fortunately, he understood Zheng Zhi's temper, so he didn't care at all. He just found a seat and sat down, then picked up a teacup and drank tea. He had to admit that he was in a hurry after rushing all the way here, and he was really thirsty.

Zheng Zhi was not sitting there reading documents, but he was keeping an eye on Feng Sizhe. He wanted to see how the young governor would behave after hitting a wall. But when he looked at him, he almost opened his mouth in surprise. This person did not seem to be afraid at all, but was very natural, treating this place as his office.

Zheng Zhi was a deputy general manager, and he was ranked high. Usually, when the governors of other provinces came to report to him, even the secretaries would behave very steadily, even conscientiously, fearing that a wrong word would lead to adverse consequences. Who was as casual and relaxed as Young Master Feng?

"Cough!" Zheng Zhi had no choice but to cough lightly, which was to warn Feng Sizhe to pay attention to his words and actions.

Sure enough, after the cough, Feng Sizhe immediately put down the teacup in his hand and pretended to listen, looking as respectful as possible.

Seeing Feng Sizhe finally showing a bit of composure, Zheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, facing that Young Master Feng who just didn't care about anything, he really didn't know how to face him.

Now seeing that Feng Sizhe was behaving much better and more disciplined, Zheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that the test was still necessary, he continued to read the report in his hand.

However, when Comrade Zheng Zhi's eyes caught sight of Feng Sizhe while he was reading a report, he couldn't help rolling his eyes in anger. It turned out that Feng Sizhe began to relax in just a short while and sat there drinking tea as if nothing had happened.

Unexpectedly, the cough only lasted for a moment, or a split second, which made Zheng Zhi feel like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Forget it, it's better not to think of testing such a person, it just makes me angry. It's better to just ask him directly what he wants.

"Well, Comrade Feng Sizhe, why are you so anxious to see me? Is there something wrong?" Finally, Zheng Zhi gave in. He put down the report in his hand and looked at Feng Sizhe with a kind look.

"Chief, I'm here to ask for money from the central government on behalf of the Capital Provincial Government." When Feng Sizhe saw that someone was paying attention to him, he quickly put away his cynical look, showed a very serious expression, and then said this sentence very seriously.

"Asking for money from the central government? What money?" Zheng Zhi was confused by this sentence. In his impression, he had never promised Feng Sizhe anything. If that was the case, why did he come to ask for money? If other leaders really agreed, he should go to other leaders to ask for it. Why did he come to his office?

Feng Sizhe was not surprised at Zheng Zhi's confusion. On the contrary, he showed a very understanding expression and said, "Haha, Chief, the situation is like this. When the Aqid Consortium came to invest in our country, they first contacted Comrade Hou Weidong of Sanxiang Province, and the two sides had a good talk at that time. As far as I know, Governor Hou was very confident at that time and thought they would definitely get the investment, so he did a lot of work. At that time, the leaders of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission and other units all made promises, saying that as long as the funds of the Aqid Consortium were in place, the three companies would also provide corresponding policies and economic assistance. I don't know why at that time, but this matter was spread a long time ago. I wonder if the chief has heard about this matter?"

Feng Sizhe came up and started to explain, and then told him what he had heard.

Zheng Zhi didn't expect Feng Sizhe to bring up this matter. After thinking about it, he nodded. Yes, he knew about this matter. At that time, Hou Weidong saw that the general trend was about to take shape, so he used the influence of the Hou family to promote these things. Afterwards, he probably wanted to show off, so he didn't specifically block the news, so that this matter quickly spread among various central ministries.

Zheng Zhi knew about this matter, but he couldn't figure out what the connection was between this and Feng Sizhe asking the central government for money?

Seeing Zheng Zhi nod, Feng Sizhe said with a look of joy, "It's great that the chief also knows about this."

"Huh? What's so great about that?" Zheng Zhi was a little confused by this sentence.

"Haha, I was thinking, since these three units had promised Sanxiang Province at that time, they would show some expression as soon as the investment of the Aqid Group was in place. Then, based on the principle of fairness and justice, now that the Aqid Group has invested in our Ducheng Province, and their initial 10 billion US dollars of funds have also been in place, shouldn't they also fulfill their promise and give our Ducheng Province some money? Haha, what do you think, Chief? Is that right?" Feng Sizhe said with a shameless smile.

"What?" Zheng Zhi was stunned after hearing what Feng Sizhe had been talking about for a long time. He turned out to be referring to this. Then he gave a wry smile.

What does it mean to be fair and just? What does it mean that we should now express our gratitude to the capital province? Are these things completely unrelated?

From the central government's perspective, fairness and justice are often just a term, and it is really difficult to achieve absolute fairness and justice. For example, all provinces come to the central government to ask for money and policies, but how much they can get depends entirely on their own abilities.

Those with strong abilities and talents will naturally get more, and those with weak abilities will get less. This is not fair. But Feng Sizhe actually ignored such a simple truth and said this. Does he not understand? No, the real answer is that he not only does not understand, but he understands it very well, but he still does it, so he must have other intentions.

It's just that Zheng Zhi still can't figure out this intention. But no matter what, it's definitely hard to get this money, Zheng Zhi is very clear about it.

"Oh, Comrade Feng Sizhe, although I knew about this matter, I did not approve it at the time. So I think your comrades from the Capital Province need to have a good talk with these three companies about the specific details of the matter. You come to me about this matter, but I really can't help you." Zheng Zhi didn't know what had happened, so after thinking about it, it was better not to get involved and just kicked the ball back.

Aren't you Feng Sizhe capable? Well, go do these things yourself and let me see how capable you are.

Zheng Zhi's words were a polite refusal. But these words did not hit Feng Sizhe at all. On the contrary, Young Master Feng seemed to have guessed these things a long time ago. "Chief, it's like this. I know that this matter was not initiated by you, so I will not come to you for any money. This time I just hope that you can give me a certificate to prove that the initial 10 billion investment of the Aqid Consortium has been in place, that's all."

"Is this all you need?" Zheng Zhi was really confused after hearing this small condition proposed by Feng Sizhe.

Did Feng Sizhe come to the State Council to see him so anxiously just for such a proof? This request was really beyond his expectations. Comrade Zheng Zhi really thought that this request was too simple.
