Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Yes, grandpa, Zhe'er has learned a lot." Feng Sizhe nodded very solemnly. He had undoubtedly learned a lot in this moment.

Seeing that Feng Sizhe seemed to understand the meaning of his words, Mr. Zhao suddenly shook his head again, "You are wrong, Zhe'er, you don't understand what grandpa means, because I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Not finished yet." Feng Sizhe was stunned again, and then immediately put on an attitude of listening attentively.

Seeing Feng Sizhe immediately fall into the state of listening again, Mr. Zhao nodded with satisfaction. Then he said, "Persistence is of course very important, but it also depends on how you persist. If you know that you will fail, but still persist, then this persistence is meaningless. To put it bluntly, the reason for persistence is to think of new ways to change everything during this period of time. Otherwise, your persistence is meaningless."

"This is just like the matter between the Zuo family and the Hou family. The Zuo family is obviously weak now, but as long as they persist with their whole heart and can find a way to win during this period, it is not impossible for them to turn the tables." Old Zhao continued to remind Feng Sizhe.

"Persist and find a way?" Feng Sizhe seemed to have thought of something at this moment, but it also seemed as if he had not thought of anything.

"Yes, that is to find a way. For example, the Hou family is powerful, but what about the person they recommend? Will that person have this or that shortcoming? If he has a lot of problems himself, then the outcome of the matter will be completely changed, and the Zuo family will most likely win." Old Zhao looked at his grandson who seemed to have entered into a period of thought following his words, which was another finishing touch.

"Ah!" At this moment, Feng Sizhe finally understood the true meaning of his grandfather's words.

In the past few days, Feng Sizhe's thoughts have been stuck in a dead end. He was always thinking about how to face the giant Hou family together with the Zuo family. To this end, he even used a lot of tricks, such as secretly meeting with Zuo Bing under the pretext of asking for money.

But in the end, these are still things that cannot be seen on the stage. Or it can be said that they will not play any crucial role in the real overall situation. All means are nothing but child's play in front of real strength.

But until he heard what his grandfather said just now, he realized that he was wrong, really wrong. It turned out that the problem to be solved was not that complicated. Since there was no way to deal with the Hou family, he could find a solution from the people they recommended.

Seeing that his grandson seemed to understand what he meant, Mr. Zhao laughed. "Zhe'er, everything in the world has its destiny, and people cannot force it. For example, this time, if Min Lianfa is indeed problematic, it means that God is helping you and helping you fulfill your wish. On the contrary, if this person is really fair and honest, and there is no problem with him, then there is nothing we can do. Many things have good ideas, but if you do them knowing that they cannot be done, then that is stupid."

Although Mr. Zhao said this, Feng Sizhe knew very well in his heart, would there really be no problem with Min Lianfa? It seemed impossible.

Such a high-ranking cadre must have been in charge of many places. Could it be that he has never made any mistakes? Even Feng Sizhe could find many problems when he was nitpicking. At least in terms of personal emotions, Young Master Feng did not do well.

Even someone like Feng Sizhe, who has no worries about money and material things, has problems of one kind or another, let alone a cadre like Min Lianfa who is dependent on the Hou family. Feng Sizhe would never believe that he had no problems.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Zhe'er knows what to do now." Feng Sizhe felt that there was a bright road ahead. He had found a way to solve the problem. Think about it. If it is found that there is something wrong with Min Lianfa, then when the central government finally decides on the candidate for the deputy secretary of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee, once these things are handed over, it is conceivable what kind of change will happen in the outcome. In the absence of competitors, I am afraid that the Hou family can only watch Zuo Bing take the position at that time.

"Haha, okay. Well, if you need any help, you can find your Uncle Li. I will tell him later and ask him to cooperate with your work." Old Zhao nodded with a smile. Being able to help his grandson has always been his idea.

Feng Sizhe quickly nodded in agreement. With the help of Major General Li Zhiyong, Feng Sizhe believed that efficiency could be greatly improved.

After leaving the main hall, Feng Sizhe found Li Zhiyong, Chen Hu and others and began to investigate Min Lianfa.

Min Lianfa, male, Han nationality, born in 1955, is a 54-year-old cadre. It is quite impressive for him to be a member of the Standing Committee and vice governor of Guangdong Province, a province with strong economic development in the country. If everything goes well, it seems that he has a great chance to become a regional governor in the future.

In fact, Min Lianfa was indeed a cadre that Hou Zhennan had always favored, and was also favored by the Hou family. As someone who could assist Hou Weidong in the future, his path had actually been planned by the Hou family. If Feng Sizhe had not met him, then perhaps in a few years, a person named Min Lianfa would have appeared among the ministerial-level cadres.

But with the conversation between Mr. Zhao and Feng Sizhe, and with Min Lianfa being recommended by the Hou family as a candidate for deputy secretary of Ducheng Province, all this will change.

Feng Sizhe ordered Li Zhiyong to send people to investigate the places where Min Lianfa had worked. They must find out the real him, including what decisions he made and who he was close to. They must get detailed information.

At the same time, after learning that Min Lianfa had arrived in Kyoto, Young Master Feng released Chen Hu again and asked him to pay close attention to everything about Vice Governor Min and follow him 24 hours a day to ensure that he could obtain more detailed and real materials.

After finishing all this, Feng Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief. He had prepared everything he could, and now it all depended on fate. Unless this Min Lianfa was really as fair and honest as his grandfather said, otherwise, as long as it was his fault, this time he would not be able to escape.

Feng Sizhe did not inform Zuo Bing of his actions, because if he told him, he would probably not work hard to act and fight the Hou family. This was not what Feng Sizhe wanted. He wanted to continue the fight, at least on the surface, without showing any abnormality. Only in this way would the Hou family be defenseless and Min Lianfa be unprepared, which was crucial for his next move.

Early the next morning, Feng Sizhe continued his journey to ask for money and policies. After all, this was the purpose of his coming to Kyoto, at least on the surface.

Because Feng Sizhe had already talked to Comrade Fu En, the Hou family didn't pay much attention to this person. They even made some preparations for Mr. Zhao's matter. For example, Hou Zhennan found Comrade Lu Guodong yesterday, and the two made a decision after discussion, that is, if Mr. Zhao stood up to speak for Feng Sizhe, they would report this issue to the Central Political Bureau. How could you, an old comrade who had retired from the army, always care about economic matters?

Or from another perspective, it can be said that the Hou family and the Lu family have already dug a big pit, waiting for Mr. Zhao to jump in when he wants to stand up for his grandson.

The facts destined that their wish would be dashed, because Feng Sizhe had never thought of asking his grandfather to speak for him. Even yesterday's action was just that Young Master Feng wanted to borrow his grandfather's convoy. In fact, General Zhao himself was not in the convoy.

After the breakdown of the conversation between Hou Zhennan and Zuo Zhongqing, the relationship between the two families became more tense, and the competition for the position of deputy secretary of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee became increasingly fierce.

But no matter how hard the Zuo family tries, the difference in foundation between the two sides is there. The Hou family's power at the top level is unmatched by any other family. This seems to mean that the Zuo family can never be a match for the Hou family.

The overall situation seemed to have been decided long ago, and anyone with a discerning eye already had the answer to who would win and who would lose. In the eyes of many, the current efforts of the Zuo family were nothing more than a monkey trying to catch the moon - destined to be in vain.

Among those who shared the same idea was the protagonist of the story, Min Lianfa.

That’s right, it’s Min Lianfa. Because of the Hou family’s recommendation, this person has officially become one of the protagonists in the competition between Hou and Zuo.

Min Lianfa came to Kyoto after receiving a call from Hou Zhennan. Of course, his reason was to ask for policies and funds from the central government. This excuse seems to have become a common excuse for many cadres to come to Kyoto. People in the officialdom are no longer surprised by this.

Nanhai Hotel, a five-star hotel that was only officially opened to the public after the reform and opening up, is very famous in Kyoto. Its political status is second only to a few hotels such as Jingxi Hotel. Being able to have a meal here is already a symbol of status.

In a private room of Nanhai Hotel, Hou Weidong and Min Lianfa sat face to face.

"Haha, Weidong, come and try the tea I brought with me. I asked people to pick it directly from the tea mountain and it was roasted by a special person. It tastes very good." Min Lianfa laughed and personally poured a cup of tea for Hou Weidong.

Min Lianfa once served as the county party secretary, and at that time he vigorously developed tea in the area where he was in charge. Facts have proved that his vision was still very good. At least until now, the development of tea in that area is still very rapid. Therefore, he got a convenience, that is, he accepted a tea mountain given by a businessman, and every year, he could receive a lot of tea from it. Part of this tea would be sold for money, and part of it became the best gifts for him to give.
