Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Hearing Feng Sizhe's answer, Li Yi Ge was stunned at first, then he laughed, "Yes, you are really amazing, you have become a hands-off boss. Not every leader has the courage like you. Some leaders nowadays are eager to do everything by themselves, because only in this way can they show their ability. Alas, people are really inferior to others."

Seeing Li Yi Ge sighing, Feng Sizhe's face darkened. "Yes, you are right. This is a common phenomenon. In fact, many things can be done by assigning them to individuals. Otherwise, if everyone wants to intervene, things will only get more and more chaotic. As the real executor of the matter, because too many leaders are pointing fingers, he doesn't know what to do. In the end, because he doesn't want to offend anyone and wants to come up with a good idea, he throws away the best and simplest way, and the matter is not done well. This is not good. Brother Li, don't you know that when I came to Dahu County from Kyoto to take office, an old man gave me four words. I personally think that officials should learn these four words well, especially those who do organizational work should experience them with their heart."

Listening to Feng Sizhe talking about how knowledgeable these four people were, Li Yi Ge also became interested, "Which four words are they? Can you tell me?"

Feng Sizhe nodded, and then said solemnly, "Knowing people and assigning them to the right positions."

When it comes to these four words, Feng Sizhe has to be serious, because these are what the leader of the Southern Tour, Comrade De Guoen, said. This leading figure of the Republic, what he said is basically the truth. Of course, he has to keep in mind what he can specifically instruct him to say.

"Know the right people and assign them to the right positions! Know the right people and assign them to the right positions! Well, well said, well said." After Li Yi Ge repeated it twice, he nodded repeatedly as if he had some sudden realization.

"Yes, that's true, but it's really difficult to do it this way." Feng Sizhe continued to nod and reminded Li Yi Ge.

"What Sizhe said is right. Some things are easier said than done. If you want to truly apply these four words, you need good observation and insight. I think you, County Magistrate Feng, have put these four words to good use. Look at the people you have promoted. Every one of them is a capable official. This is also the result of your keen eye for talent."

"Haha, Brother Li, you're too polite. Actually, what I'm here for today is to recommend a capable official to you. I hope your Organization Department can give him a green light and promote him as an exception." Seeing that the time was almost right, Feng Sizhe finally stated his purpose.

"Exceptional promotion? Who is it?" Hearing that Feng Sizhe was not simply here to sit down, but had something to discuss with him, Li Yi Ge asked back with a smile. Since it was an exceptional promotion, it meant that there was a certain degree of difficulty.

"I won't tell you who it is yet. Brother Li is so smart, I think you can guess it. Before we talk about business today, I have a personnel issue that I would like to ask Brother Li's opinion on." Feng Sizhe had a secret and did not state his purpose directly, but changed the subject.

Li Yi Ge was a little confused about Feng Sizhe's intention. It seemed that he didn't come here for one thing today. Never mind. If it weren't for him, he would still be the director of the county party committee office and would have to look at the secretary's face to make decisions. How could he be free and easy now and make his own decisions on some things? "Well, Sizhe, what is the relationship between us? If you have any questions, just tell me directly. I will do my best to do what I can, okay?"

"Okay, that's what I want, brother." Seeing Li Yi Ge so happy, Feng Sizhe slapped the table happily and started to talk about business. "The situation is like this. Now that Dahu County is developing economic construction in an all-round way, several projects are launched at the same time. It can be said that the future prospects are very good. Then the problem comes out. If you want to focus on economic construction, there is a prerequisite that the public security environment must be good. Without a good and stable environment, it is empty to talk about economic development. So I want to nominate Comrade Luo Jinlong, the county public security chief, as deputy county chief. What do you think? Of course, the county public security chief still has to hold the position concurrently. This is just to enable him to play a better role. You also know that if the position of the public security chief is too low, some things will naturally be more difficult to coordinate, right?"

Feng Sizhe wants to promote Luo Jinlong to the position of deputy county chief. This is also to enable the county public security bureau to better coordinate local public security in the future. After all, if the chief has enough power, his say in many matters will also increase, and he will not be ordered around by several deputy county chiefs.

Li Yi Ge was also a smart man, and he quickly figured out the connection. "Well, your idea is not bad. At least from the current situation in Dahu County, it is appropriate and necessary to nominate Director Luo as deputy county magistrate. Well, I will report it to the county committee in the name of the Organization Department. However, I have no say on what Secretary Sun and County Magistrate Fang think, and whether the city can approve it.

To be nominated as a deputy county chief, normally the nomination must be approved by the higher-level party committee and the county people's congress must be convened for discussion. This is not so easy and needs to be approved by the people's congress. It is not something that can be decided by just one or two people. This requires a complicated process.

Feng Sizhe was certainly aware of this, but he also knew that unless someone was making trouble, as long as the higher authorities approved it, there would be no problem in passing this matter at the National People's Congress.

"Well, I understand. Brother Li, just report Luo Jinlong's nomination. I'll take care of the rest."

Since Feng Sizhe said so, it proved that he was sure of it. Li Yige nodded, "Okay, I don't have any problem here. Now you can tell me about your matter."

Li Yi Ge thought that if he had only nominated Luo Jinlong as deputy county magistrate, Feng Sizhe would not have told him so many things. There must be more difficult questions that had not been said.

"Haha, Brother Li, don't be anxious. I want to ask first, have you read the notice passed at the Fourth National People's Congress that women comrades should occupy a certain proportion in the government?" Still without getting straight to the point, Feng Sizhe still took a tentative move first, because he was afraid that the other party would not be able to accept it as soon as he brought it up.

"I've read the document, and I'm having a hard time with it. You know the situation in our Dahu County. Over the years, where can we find female cadres in high positions? There are women in some departments, but they are marginal figures. Most of them are not even formal clerks and are still at the section level. Where can we find those people to promote female cadres, and a certain proportion of them in the county party committee and county government?" When it comes to this issue, Li Yi Ge is completely confused and looks very embarrassed.

"Well, I am aware of this situation, but Brother Li, have you ever thought about it? If our Dahu County does not do anything about this matter, it is very likely that the Municipal Party Committee will find a way for us. At that time, in order to respond to the call from the superiors, a female cadre will be directly promoted from the superiors, and it is even possible for her to become a member of the county standing committee. At that time, we will be the passive ones." Feng Sizhe knew that Dahu County lacked female cadres. It was precisely because of this that he promoted Wang Ruihua to the position of deputy director of the government office in advance, which meant that he had made preparations in advance.

After Feng Sizhe said this, Li Yige could only nod his head and said, "You are right. The issuance of new documents is not something that can be said casually. When the time comes, the superiors will definitely come down to investigate. If our Dahu County does not make any move, it is really unreasonable. If things go wrong, it may be like you said, and the superiors will send people directly."

As he said this, Li Yige kept shaking his head. As an official in Dahu County, he certainly knew how many people would benefit from promoting a cadre from him. How many vacancies would be left when one person replaced another, but how many vacancies would be occupied by a leader parachuted in from outside. As an organization minister, of course, the more vacancies there were, the more important he was. If there were no vacancies for everyone, it was conceivable that his organization department would become a place of little value and not be taken seriously.

Li Yi Ge was very clear about this, and Feng Sizhe was also very clear about the same. It was precisely because he was very clear that he went to Li Yi Ge to get his support first. Only with the strong recommendation of the Organization Department could the document be reported and he could find a way to deal with it. If the Organization Department could not pass this level, then there was no need to think about it. It would be very difficult to get things done. In short, this was a level that could not be bypassed.

Seeing that Li Yi Ge was having a headache over this document, Feng Sizhe smiled. It was good that he had a headache. If he didn't have a headache, then he would have to have a headache instead.

"Well, this matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle, but... there is a solution." Feng Sizhe finally decided to slowly tell the purpose of this trip.

Li Yi Ge was still worried about this matter, but when he heard Feng Sizhe say this, he immediately raised his head and asked, "Why, do you have any good ideas?"

"Haha, I do have an idea. Just as you said just now, there are indeed not many female cadres in our Dahu County, but there are some, for example..." Feng Sizhe looked at Li Yi Ge with a smile. He believed that such a hint was enough.

"You mean... Deputy Director Wang?" Li Yige suddenly understood what Feng Sizhe meant and called out Wang Ruihua's official title. But after calling out, he quickly shook his head, "No, no. Deputy Director Wang is younger than you, and he was just promoted to deputy section chief. How can he be promoted? This is not possible. Even if you report it to the higher-ups, they will not approve it."
