Rebirth of the Rising Sun

At that moment, the two people in charge of tracking didn't care and continued to follow the convoy.

In fact, at this time, Zuo Bing had replaced one of the men in the convoy and sneaked into the first car where Feng Sizhe was.

"Oh, Governor, it's so hard to meet you." Zuo Bing said with some sigh. He didn't expect that with the influence of the Zuo family in Kyoto, he would have to take such a way to meet someone.

"Haha, special cases should be treated specially, this is also a way of struggle." Feng Sizhe smiled indifferently. He was certainly not afraid of the Hou family. If he didn't need someone to prove his innocence, he would have asked Li Zhiyong to arrest the four people following him. Of course, even if he wanted to see Zuo Bing, there was no need to go through so much trouble. The reason for doing so was to prove one thing to the four people behind him, that they had followed Mr. Zhao's motorcade with unclear intentions.

This can be said to kill two birds with one stone. With this example, the people who were sent to follow them will not be afraid of being stabbed.

"Come on, tell me about your current situation." Feng Sizhe knew that time was limited, so he didn't say any polite words and went straight to the point.

"Okay." Zuo Bing nodded and answered immediately, "The situation is like this. After I came back from Ducheng Province, I told my family about my bid for the deputy secretary position, and I got full support from my grandfather and my father. And my father also contacted many leaders one after another. Basically, this matter had a great hope of success. But who would have thought that at this time, my family suddenly recommended a person named Min Lianfa, saying that they wanted to recommend this person to be the deputy secretary of our Ducheng Province."

"Governor Feng should be familiar with Min Lianfa. He is the Standing Committee member and Vice Governor of Guangdong Province. It can be said that I am inferior to him in terms of qualifications and all aspects. At this time, the family recommended this person, and it was even inevitable. For this reason, the good situation suddenly became passive."

When saying these words, there was a trace of melancholy on Zuo Bing's face. He was obviously very depressed about the Hou family's behavior this time, and even a little angry, but there was really no better way.

"Of course, I won't give up immediately, I will still try my best. Although the possibility is extremely low, I will still try my best until the last moment." Zuo Bing became less and less confident as he spoke. Obviously, compared with Min Lianfa, even he himself did not think he had any chance of winning.

Seeing that Zuo Bing's momentum was already weak and even his confidence was shaken, Feng Sizhe laughed. In fact, all this was within his expectations. "Don't be discouraged, Comrade Zuo Bing. The Capital Province still recognizes you."

Upon hearing Feng Sizhe's words, Zuo Bing seemed to see a glimmer of hope. He raised his head and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, Comrade Zuo Bing, you may not know that before I came to Kyoto this time, I specifically talked to Secretary Xu about your situation. Secretary Xu's personal opinion is that you are also inclined to be the deputy secretary of the Capital Province. For this reason, he also said that once the Z Organization Department asks about the attitude of the Capital Provincial Party Committee, he will definitely push you. In addition, the provincial government has already reported the merits before, which is equivalent to showing its intentions, so your hope of success this time is still very great."

Zuo Bing was a little excited when he said this. If he could get the full support of the provincial party committee and government of Ducheng, it would give him more hope of success. "Thank you, thank you Governor Feng, thank you Secretary Xu."

"Don't ever say that. These are all your own achievements. As the saying goes, God is watching what you do. Your work achievements in the Capital Province during this period are visible to your comrades and are under everyone's scrutiny. At the same time, they have also been recognized by everyone, so this is entirely your credit." Feng Sizhe said with a smile. He knew that the most important thing at this moment was to give Zuo Bing some confidence. Otherwise, if this man backed out, then he would be exclaiming in vain.

"Yes, yes, but no matter what, I still want to thank the comrades in Ducheng Province." Zuo Bing nodded repeatedly. Yes, he did do some work after arriving in Ducheng Province, but to be honest, no matter how good your work is, you need someone to appreciate it. If no one appreciates you, it will be useless even if you do a hundred things.

"Haha, okay, don't be polite at this time. Well, actually, the reason I came here this time is just as you guessed, it's for your matter, but you also know that Min Lianfa is also a big shot. As the governor of Ducheng Province, I cannot interfere too much in the central government's personnel arrangements for Ducheng Province. So all my actions are above board. You should be able to understand this, right?" Feng Sizhe said with a smile on his face.

Zuo Bing certainly understood Feng Sizhe's approach. As the head of a province, his most important job was to do a good job in the province's economic work. Even if he was the secretary, so what? Do you want to rely on your own power to control the appointment of cadres by the central government? If so, the influence would definitely be very bad. Therefore, Zuo Bing could completely understand what Master Feng was doing now.

"I understand, I understand. I just don't know what the governor thinks of the current situation." Zuo Bing nodded repeatedly to show his understanding. After saying this, he asked Feng Sizhe what he thought of the current situation. Or you could say he was asking Young Master Feng what he should do next.

"Well, this is the key point." Feng Sizhe nodded, and then with a calm expression, as if he had considered the current situation, Feng Sizhe said, "Comrade Zuo Bing, the Hou family is indeed coming with great force this time, but don't forget that there is also a strong force behind you. If they want to hinder your future, I'm afraid that even if you agree, Old Zuo and Secretary Zuo will not agree, so you don't have to worry too much."

He first explained Zuo Bing's situation, and pointed out that although the situation was not good, it would not be that bad. After all, the Zuo family was powerful, and not everyone could step on them without considering the consequences, even the powerful Hou family was the same.

After saying all this, Feng Sizhe continued, "So, from my observation, if the Hou family wants to get this position this time, they must first convince your Zuo family. If they can convince them, they will not use coercive means to coerce you. Therefore, if my estimate is correct, in order to get the position of deputy secretary of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee, the Hou family may make concessions and promise you another position first. Although it is not as fast as the deputy secretary, it will at least be a provincial standing committee member. This can also be regarded as an explanation to your Zuo family."

Feng Sizhe only guessed that the Hou family would do this, because all big families would consider everything they did very carefully, and would not make enemies with any force unless necessary. You know, creating one more enemy politically might be equivalent to blocking one more way of retreat.

Young Master Feng was guessing that the Hou family might do this, but what he didn't know was that the Hou family really thought so and would discuss this matter with Zuo Zhongqing of the Zuo family in the afternoon.

"Will it be like this?" Zuo Bing said with some doubt after hearing Feng Sizhe's guess. After all, from his perspective, he couldn't see things this far.

"I dare not say this with 100% certainty, but if it were me, I would most likely do so. And what I want to know now is, if the Hou family really does this, what plans does Comrade Zuo Bing have?" Feng Sizhe asked Zuo Bing in return.

In fact, this was also his way of testing Zuo Bing's inner thoughts. If Zuo Bing was willing to retreat when he encountered difficulties, then giving him a position as a provincial standing committee member and letting him be promoted one level, such treatment might completely persuade Zuo Bing not to compete for the deputy secretary position. If so, then there was no need for him to do anything for such a person.

On the contrary, if Zuo Bingshi fails to get the position of deputy secretary, he will have more opportunities to display his talents.

"This..." Faced with this sudden question, Zuo Bing did hesitate for a moment. But after just a moment's hesitation, Zuo Bing suddenly said, "If this is the case, I will not give up easily. To be honest, the work I have done over the past few days has made me feel attached to the Capital Province. I really hope to work here for a longer period of time, and at the same time learn some management experience from Governor Feng."

Zuo Bing's words were a bit too fake. What did he mean by having feelings for Ducheng Province? He had only been here for a short time, how could he have deep feelings for it? And the reason why he said this was because he was also very clear about how big the gap was between an ordinary provincial standing committee member and the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Simply put, as long as Zuo Bing can become a deputy secretary, it can be said that within four to five years at most, he will have the opportunity to move up to a central government department as a minister, or to a provincial governor at a local level without much effort. After all, this is the only position above the deputy secretary. It can be said that this deputy secretary position will help him to struggle for at least three to four years less, or even longer. Faced with such a good situation, how could he give up?

Feng Sizhe didn't want to know what Zuo Bing was thinking at this moment. He just wanted to know the result of this man's choice.

Now that he heard that he was so interested in the position of deputy secretary, he felt relieved. He knew that this time in the confrontation between the Zuo and Hou families, he could indeed do a lot.
