Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Yang Keqiang also saw Feng Sizhe. Seeing that he took the initiative to extend his hand, he quickly handed it over, "County Magistrate Feng, you are so polite. This is what I should do."

After experiencing two incidents, Pengfei Corporation's position in the domestic business community has changed dramatically. Yang Keqiang's status has also risen. He is no longer a common man. He has seen the world and high-ranking officials. Not to mention a deputy county magistrate, even a mayor can catch his eye. After all, the whole country is developing the economy now, and rich people are the gods of wealth. Local governments are scrambling to get them. Wherever he goes, he will receive the warmest welcome and the most grand reception.

Gradually, Yang Keqiang began to look up to others. But he was arrogant. When Feng Sizhe stood in front of him, he knew to restrain himself. He respected Feng Sizhe. He knew that Pengfei Company was run by him and his friends on the surface, but the ideas all came from this young man. Without him, Pengfei Company would not have made so much money and had such a large scale and influence.

Yang Keqiang understood even more clearly the influence of Feng Sizhe on the company's general manager Duan and several major shareholders. It was no exaggeration to say that if he was not accepted by others, then with just one word from him, whether he could continue to be the general manager would become a suspense. For this reason, he had some fear and respect for Feng Sizhe from the bottom of his heart.

While Yang Keqiang was thinking about this, Feng Sizhe had already come to his side. "Boss Yang, let me introduce you to Wang Ming, the deputy county magistrate of Dahu County. He is mainly responsible for the problems of Yongsheng Casting Factory. You will have to deal with him more often."

"Hello, Mr. Yang. You can just call me Lao Wang from now on." Wang Ming extended his hand cordially and shook hands with Yang Keqiang.

"Okay, okay. I'll be in your territory from now on. Old Wang, please take care of me. Hahaha." Yang Keqiang was already good at this kind of courtesy dealings. He shook Wang Ming's hand and said a few polite words.

Seeing that the two sides were quite friendly on this first day of contact, Feng Sizhe nodded happily, "Okay, if there is anything, I think we should go back and talk about it. Now let's get in the car and go back to Dahu County."

The car started slowly. At Feng Sizhe's invitation, Yang Keqiang naturally got into his car. Wang Ming and two other people from Pengfei Head Office followed in the car behind him. The last car was occupied by staff from the county government. A group of three cars rushed from Yongyang to Dahu County.

After getting in the car, Feng Sizhe and Yang Keqiang sat in the back seat, while the driver Li Shuang and Deputy Director Wang Ruihua of the Government Office sat in the front, and the car drove away first.

As soon as he got in the car, Yang Keqiang smiled at Feng Sizhe with kindness, as if he had something to say, but he seemed to have some concerns.

Feng Sizhe saw through his worries and chuckled, "Okay, Qiangzi, there are no outsiders here, just tell me what's on your mind. They are people I trust." He pointed at the two people sitting in front of him. He looked like he had something to say but it was okay.

Hearing that he was called Qiangzi, Yang Keqiang just smiled and said, "Okay, Master Feng. The situation is like this. Master Duan has already told me before I came here that I will only listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will pay you if you ask for money. In short, I will fully cooperate with you."

"Haha, Mr. Duan, you're too polite. You don't have to do what he says. You know I'm the deputy county magistrate now, and I have a lot of things to do. I can't handle everything about the foundry myself, so you still need to handle many things on your own. In short, there is one principle, that is, how to run the foundry well and achieve a win-win situation for Pengfei Company and Dahu County. If you have any policy issues, you can come to me. For general small matters, you can go to Director Wang. Oh, her name is Wang Ruihua, and now she is the director of the government office beside me. With her around, she can handle anything for you in the county." Feng Sizhe pointed to Wang Ruihua in the front seat and introduced her to Yang Keqiang.

Wang Ruihua was sitting on the vice-chair, listening attentively to Feng Sizhe's conversation. When she heard herself being introduced, she quickly turned around and extended her hand to Yang Keqiang, "Hello, my name is Wang Ruihua. If you have any troubles in the future, please come to me. I will do my best to solve your problems."

“Oh, it’s great to have Director Wang’s help. Thank you.” Yang Keqiang was stunned when he saw how young and beautiful Wang Ruihua was, but then he immediately suppressed the dirty thoughts in his mind. What a joke, how could the people around Feng Sizhe allow him to have any ideas? If he had to, it would be...

Feng Sizhe didn't know that Yang Keqiang would have such an idea in such a short time. In order to bring the two sides closer, he smiled and asked, "Qiangzi, Master Duan, Master Zu, Master Qin, are they all right?"

"All good. Knowing that I was coming to your workplace, Mr. Feng, they asked me to convey their greetings to you before I left. In addition, Miss He also found me on purpose. She said that she will graduate soon and she hopes you can compose a piece of music for her. She is going to hand in a perfect graduation work."

"Haha, OK, I'll go write it later, and I'll have someone hand it over to you when it's done." Hearing that He Shasha still remembered that she had a talent for music and wanted to exploit herself, he laughed. In his previous life, he liked music, especially classic old songs, so it shouldn't be a problem to compose a song or write lyrics.

Feng Sizhe readily agreed, but Wang Ruihua, who was sitting in front, was surprised. She really didn't expect that he could write music. He was young, handsome, well-educated, healthy, physically fit, had many ideas, and had a good vision. He was already a perfect man, but he could write music. Was he an all-rounder?

Wang Ruihua didn't know whether Feng Sizhe could write music, but she did guess that the music he wrote was not that good, maybe it was just a trick to deceive other girls. But until the music really came out, she denied her thoughts and had to admit that he was indeed a versatile talent.

Yang Keqiang arrived, and the issues of Yongsheng Casting Factory were handed over to him and Deputy County Mayor Wang Ming to deal with. He had already formulated the general rules and regulations. As long as they purchased the equipment according to the products they were making, Feng Sizhe would not have to worry about other things. He could finally shift his focus to other matters.

During this period, Jiang Rong, the director of Yongsheng Casting Factory, came to the county party committee compound to thank Feng Sizhe. On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, County Magistrate Feng promised him that he would provide a living environment for the workers who were about to be laid off. Now it has finally come true. Pengfei Company took over the foundry and formulated a new set of laid-off assessment criteria. The relatives were eliminated, and the workers who were competent for the job were left. In this way, the real workers had no complaints. On the contrary, those relatives did not dare to say anything due to the majesty of County Magistrate Feng. The matter was successfully resolved.

Feng Sizhe became an official partly because he wanted to make efforts to turn the Zhao family around, and partly because he wanted to do something for the people. Now he just did what he should do, so he naturally would not accept Jiang Rong's thanks. On the contrary, he strictly asked Jiang Rong to lead the workers to work hard. If they still didn't work hard after entering the newly reformed factory, they wouldn't have to come to him when they were laid off.

Jiang Rong naturally agreed immediately. All he needed was a fair environment. As long as they were given a platform, practical people like them would be able to achieve something.

The same thing happened at the Dahu Lighter Factory. The former factory director Huang Da also came to thank Feng Sizhe with the same feeling, but was rejected for the same reason.

In a short time, the news that Feng Sizhe refused the thanks of two factory directors spread in Dahu County. Everyone knew that County Magistrate Feng was a good official who was dedicated to the public. As long as you were really willing to work hard, you would have a chance to succeed under him. In a short time, the atmosphere in Dahu became much more positive. Those who did not know how to work and only liked to flatter others became much more honest. After all, with such a leader above them, no one would offend him for no reason. Otherwise, who knew what would happen next and whether they would be caught in the crossfire and be dealt with.

At this time, Feng Sizhe's mind was not on these trivial matters at all. He was now thinking about the Fifth Session of the National People's Congress, which had just been held in April. The meeting had clearly increased the proportion of women in the government and required that there must be an appropriate proportion of women in government departments at all levels. Looking at this newly issued document, he smiled. The matter he had carefully manipulated to promote Wang Ruihua years ago finally had a result. He had waited for this day. He could use this opportunity to promote Wang Ruihua once more. This was his goal.

Feng Sizhe personally went to the office of Li Yige, the head of the Organization Department. Li Yige showed a very enthusiastic attitude towards Feng Sizhe's arrival.

"Sizhe, how do you have time to come here? There are so many things for you to do, aren't you busy?" Seeing Feng Sizhe coming to him, Li Yi Ge asked jokingly with a smile.

"What am I busy with? Agricultural affairs are already on the right track, with County Magistrate Zhang Youlun keeping an eye on them. The foundry is under the watchful eye of County Magistrate Wang Ming, and the lighter factory is under the watchful eye of County Magistrate He Wenbao. What else can I be busy with, haha?" Feng Sizhe answered with a smile while drinking the tea handed to him by Li Yi Ge.
