Rebirth of the Rising Sun

The five men attacked Lin Jicheng together, and Lin Jicheng had no choice but to lower his head. He didn't expect that he just added a sentence based on Fang Xianzhi's words, which resulted in everyone's unanimous resistance against him. This time he really didn't know what to say, and could only bury his head very low. At this moment, he wished there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into.

Seeing so many comrades condemning Lin Jianli, the county party secretary Sun Shicun coughed and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "Well, I also think that Comrade Lin Jianli's words are wrong. Now, please let Comrade Lin Jianli come down and explain why you said that just now."

Even Secretary Sun had spoken, and Lin Jianli knew that he could not escape this time. He raised his head with great effort, "I... I just said the wrong thing in the heat of the moment, without understanding the situation. Please... Please don't be angry, County Magistrate Feng, I apologize here."

Lin Jianli, who usually looked like a cannon, suddenly surrendered. This was beyond the expectations of Fang Xianzhi, Qi Hengsan and others. Everyone was thinking that Lin Jianli would be tough and hold on for a while longer, but they didn't expect that he would give in as soon as Secretary Sun spoke. This man is too spineless.

After saying this, Lin Jicheng quickly lowered his head. He was really embarrassed to see people at this moment.

"Well, since Comrade Lin Jianli knows he was wrong, I won't pursue the matter. I just hope that such things won't happen again. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to report the matter to the Municipal Party Committee and let the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee make the final decision." Feng Sizhe knew when to stop, and seeing that Lin Jianli's arrogance was suppressed, he acted like a good guy and didn't pursue the matter any further.

After the conflict between Feng Sizhe and Lin Jianli, Fang Xianzhi, who wanted to say something, suddenly didn't know how to start. He seemed to realize that Feng Sizhe was not easy to deal with, and he was determined to win today's matter. Well, then let's see if he can gain the upper hand in the vote.

Before the meeting, Fang Xianzhi had carefully thought about the positions of the standing committee members. In his opinion, at least a few people would vote against it, such as himself, the deputy secretary of the county party committee He Zhuhua, the deputy secretary and the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Yang Chao, and the head of the United Front Work Department Qi Hengsan, which would definitely be four votes against it. In addition, there would be the county party secretary Sun Shicun, the head of the Organization Department Li Yige, the head of the Armed Forces Li Wanli, and the director of the county party committee office Cui Yan who would choose to remain neutral. In this case, the supporting votes would be the deputy secretary and the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Wu Guangrong, the head of the Propaganda Department Jia Bin, the standing committee member and the deputy county magistrate Zhang Youlun, and the chairman of the trade union Lin Jianli. Even if Feng Sizhe himself was included, there would only be five votes, which was not even half. In this way, the appointment would not be passed. This meeting became a meeting to strike at Feng Sizhe's authority and a turning point in the change of the political landscape in Dahu County.

With these ideas and preparations, he did not want to engage in verbal battle with Feng Sizhe and others. In addition, with Lin Jianli's sudden change of sides, he was even more confident that the number of votes supporting Feng Sizhe would not exceed half.

Thinking that the overall situation had been settled, Feng Sizhe and the others were still making trouble here, so he laughed and said, "Okay, I think there is no need for everyone to argue. Let's vote and see what everyone thinks. How about it?"

Fang Xianzhi had a good idea in mind. He didn't believe that this personnel adjustment would be approved by the county party committee standing committee, so he said this. He didn't even say anything about Liu Yong and Chen Fei's qualifications. Anyway, they couldn't pass the discussion of the standing committee. Why bother to care so much? It's not worth it to be hated by others because of his doubts about Liu Yong and others' qualifications. Although he was not afraid as the head of a county, sometimes one less enemy is better than one more.

Fang Xianzhi had a clear idea in his mind, and so did He Zhuhua, Yang Chao, and Qi Hengsan. After hearing what County Magistrate Fang said, they all nodded, "Well, I think we should vote and make a resolution."

Yang Chao and Qi Hengsan believed that after Lin Jianli turned against them, the number of votes supporting Feng Sizhe should not be more than half. In that case, they just had to choose to remain neutral and there was no need to go against Feng Sizhe. After all, Wu Guangrong's words were still there. They might as well provoke some people and start to talk about Qi Hengquan's matter, which would be counterproductive.

Hearing that the winner would be decided by voting, Feng Sizhe sighed slightly in his heart. Since he came to Dahu, he had joined forces with Fang Xianzhi and Sun Shicun. It can be said that he had never thought about establishing his own faction. He was only thinking about the development of Dahu County. Even the last major adjustment of the county committee was for the long-term development of the economy of Dahu County. But today he knew that he could not escape. Facing the suppression of several factions, he had to show his strength this time, and expose all the people who supported him. This would mean that he would have to go against Fang Xianzhi, Qi Hengsan, and even Sun Shicun in the future. In order to increase his chances of winning today, he had to take out some things to point at Sun Shicun. He believed that Secretary Sun would definitely bear a grudge against him through this matter. If so, he would have to be careful in the county committee in the future and must not leave any arguments to others, otherwise he would be attacked by the three parties.

"Well, I think we should just vote. There's no point in talking about this. Let's give everyone three minutes to think about their attitudes." Sun Shicun nodded when he saw Fang Xianzhi was going to vote to decide the outcome. At the same time, he was curious about why Feng Sizhe dared to convene this Standing Committee meeting. What other cards did he have that he hadn't played yet? He had promised him that he would remain neutral, and it was nothing more than taking this opportunity to get Cui Yan to support him with one vote. It was just one vote, could it really have a decisive effect?

Several people secretly stared at Feng Sizhe, wanting to see what this young man was like and why he looked so confident. But Feng Sizhe sat with his eyes closed. In fact, he already knew the voting results and what the outcome would be. He was just wondering whether it was worth it to put all his hidden power out in the open for this personnel adjustment.

"Okay, time is up, let's start voting. Those who oppose the appointment proposed by Comrade Feng Sizhe, please raise your hands." Sun Shicun said softly and looked up at the Standing Committee. Raising this hand is equivalent to directly opposing Feng Sizhe, and it is not easy to raise this hand.

But after Secretary Sun finished speaking, Fang Xianzhi and He Zhuhua raised their right hands without any hesitation. Perhaps in their opinion, confrontation with Feng Sizhe was inevitable.

Fang Xianzhi thought that since he and Secretary He had raised their hands, Qi Hengsan and the others would also raise their hands. However, Yang Chao and Qi Hengsan just lowered their heads and didn't even raise their heads, not to mention daring to look at Fang Xianzhi and the others' faces. They were really frightened by Wu Guangrong's words. At this moment, they really didn't want to confront Feng Sizhe directly, and thought that they would just give up their votes later.

Fang Xianzhi was a little angry, and He Zhuhua was even more furious. Now he had a lot of complaints about Feng Sizhe, because when he was speaking just now, everyone called him Secretary He, and only Feng Sizhe called him Deputy Secretary He. This was actually very normal, because it was a rule to call the deputy deputy secretary in front of the secretary, but He Zhuhua thought that Feng Sizhe was mocking him. So he decided to fight him to the end. Now seeing that Yang Chao and Qi Hengsan had become cowards at the critical moment, he snorted in his heart, cowards, no wonder you were beaten so badly by Feng Sizhe, people like you who seem pitiful must have their hateful side.

"Two votes, any more?" Seeing that Yang Chao and Qi Hengsan did not raise their hands, Sun Shicun realized that they were probably frightened by Wu Guangrong's words just now.

"And me." Lin Jianli, the trade union chairman who was ranked last in the county committee, did raise his hand. It turned out that after a period of ideological struggle, he thought about the joint questioning of himself by those people just now, and what he had said before, which was actually equivalent to falling out with Feng Sizhe. Even so, what was there to be afraid of? It would be better to be a real man and raise his hand to oppose. This is how I am, what can you do about it.

"Oh, three votes? Any more?" Sun Shicun saw that Lin Jicheng also raised his hand, and laughed in his heart. This reckless man in the political arena would betray someone completely if he wanted to. This kind of person is really impulsive.

Feng Sizhe was not angry but felt relieved when he saw Lin Jianli raising his hand. Although Lin Jianli had been following him since he decided to make a name for himself, he never considered him as one of his own, because he gave others the impression that he was too impulsive and a person who could be used as a cannon but not as a confidant. Now, he was originally worried about how to deal with such a person, but now he has taken the initiative to jump out of his camp, so he won't have to be soft-hearted when he attacks him in the future.

After waiting for a while, when no one showed any sign of raising their hands, Sun Shicun nodded and said, "Okay, three votes against. Now, comrades who agree and support this personnel appointment, please raise your hands."

Sun Shicun was playing a trick. After saying "raise your hands if you oppose", he directly said "raise your hands if you support", but put the issue of giving up and being neutral at the end. In his opinion, anyone who did not vote for or against was naturally neutral. In this way, if the votes did not exceed half, the personnel appointment would naturally come to an end. In this way, he would not offend Feng Sizhe. Then the blame for the failure of this personnel adjustment would be placed on the heads of Fang Xianzhi, the county party committee member, and He Zhuhua, the deputy secretary. Feng Sizhe would definitely hate them in the future, and then he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
