Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Zhou Chunhai quickly told He Zhuhua about the idea proposed by Qiu Fugui and Wu Fuliang. He Zhuhua clapped his hands and said it was a good idea. Then he immediately called his old leader, Minister Li Lianxue, to explain his idea. Of course, he would not say that this idea was taught by others, but that he thought of it himself.

Sometimes, in order to improve oneself, attacking political enemies is also a common tactic in officialdom. After weighing the pros and cons of the matter, Li Lianxue finally nodded. After all, Feng Sizhe was not his man, and He Zhuhua did obey his orders. For the future of his confidant, he had no choice but to sacrifice Feng Sizhe.

Under the leadership of Li Lianxue and He Zhuhua, it didn’t take long for an article that ostensibly praised Feng Sizhe but actually suppressed him to appear in the provincial newspaper. The title of the article was “The Full Demonstration of Young Cadres in Dahu County.”

The article explains Feng Sizhe's personal resume, explaining that he had worked as deputy county magistrate in Dahu County for less than two years and was preparing to take the next step to challenge for the position of county magistrate. This was a product of fully combining the rejuvenation of central cadres and was a major step forward in cadre promotion.

A young man who is just 24 years old is going to be the county magistrate. This is like a bomb exploding in Zhongzhou Province.

There are all kinds of opinions on this matter. Some people say that at the age of 24, his hair has just grown up, and such a young man is immature. How can he manage a county?

Others said that his son was only 24 years old and still in college, with no social experience at all. Would it be wrong for such a person to be in charge of a county?

Some people even say that this 24-year-old young man must be someone with an impressive background. However, even if he has a background, it is irresponsible for the government to let such a young person be in charge of a county. After all, his age and experience are there, and he cannot be entrusted with important tasks when he has not yet been fully established. Otherwise, who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?

In short, the comments were all negative, all saying that the government was not careful and serious in appointing cadres. This kind of comments soon spread in the streets and alleys, and soon began to spread in the provincial party committee and government.

Liu Wenyu, member of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee, member of the Standing Committee, and deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, came to the office early in the morning and saw the article and slammed the table in anger. "What is this for? This is outrageous. A little kid wants to be the county magistrate. What is the matter with the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee?"

"Secretary Liu, don't be angry. I will call Secretary Cai of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee and ask him right away." Secretary Zhang Yuanchao, who was holding a cup of tea for him, hurriedly comforted the leader. The leader was famous for his hot temper, which was very bad for his health.

"Yes, call and ask immediately what is going on. Is what the newspaper said true or false? If it is true, does it mean that there is no one left in Yongyang City? They want a little kid to be the county magistrate. If that is the case, I will send them a county magistrate immediately. What are you trying to do?"

Zhang Yuanchao saw that his leader was very angry, so he put down his teacup and quickly left the office. He went to the single room outside the door, found the phone number of Cai Xingmin, secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee, on the desk, and quickly called him.

Cai Xingmin felt his left eyelid twitching early in the morning. Just as he entered the office, the red phone on the desk rang. He knew it was from his superior, so he quickly walked over and answered the phone, "Hello, I'm Cai Xingmin."

"Secretary Cai, right? I'm Zhang Yuanchao, secretary of Liu Wenyu, the provincial party committee's deputy secretary."

"Oh, it's Secretary Zhang. Hello, hello. What's up? Does the leader have any instructions?" When Cai Xingmin heard that it was the secretary of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he knew that there must be something to be conveyed, and his tone was extremely polite.

"Well, the situation is like this. I don't know if you have read the Zhongzhou Daily this morning. It records the affairs of the deputy county magistrate of Dahu County in Yongyang County. It says that this deputy county magistrate is only 24 years old. Because of his outstanding work performance, he will be appointed as county magistrate after only being in office for more than a year. I wonder if this is true? The leaders are very concerned about this matter. I hope that you in Yongyang City will report the relevant situation immediately. You must know that the leaders are angry now. Well, I won't say more. I'm waiting for Secretary Cai's report results." Zhang Yuanchao is the secretary of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Naturally, he is accustomed to the tone of the leader's speech. Although his rank is far lower than Cai Xingmin, every word he says reveals a sense of superiority.

Zhang Yuanchao had hung up the phone, but Cai Guangmin was still holding the receiver with both hands, stunned. It was not until his secretary Wang Yong came in to clean up his office that he came to his senses. "Xiao Wang, hurry up and notify all the members of the Municipal Party Committee to hold a meeting immediately. I want to convey the instructions of the provincial party committee leaders."

Early in the morning, in the small conference room of the Municipal Party Committee Building, 13 Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members gathered here. Many of them couldn't understand why such an intense meeting was held so early. Even the mayor standing committee member sitting in the second and third seats, Deputy Secretary Qiu Fugui, didn't understand and looked at each other with a confused look.

Of course, the confusion in the eyes of the Standing Committee members was real confusion, but there was some clarity in Qiu Fugui's eyes. He knew something about the convening of the Standing Committee this morning.

After everyone was seated, Secretary Cai Xingmin, accompanied by Secretary Wang Yong, walked into the meeting room. As soon as he entered the meeting room, he looked at the status of everyone. Seeing that everyone was there, he nodded and said, "Very good, everyone is here, so let's start the meeting now."

Cai Xingmin, who was sitting in the first seat, looked at everyone with a deep gaze, then he coughed and said, "Comrades, just now the secretary of Comrade Liu Wenyu, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and deputy secretary, called me and said that Comrade Feng Sizhe, deputy county magistrate of Dahu County, Yongyang City, was on the Zhongzhou Daily. Although we cannot see the newspaper now, I have called the relevant departments of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department to inquire about the content of the newspaper. That is, the newspaper praised Comrade Feng Sizhe after he came to work in Dahu County, listed his deeds in Dahu County, and finally proposed that such comrades should continue to advance. Step. Then again, is it necessary to promote a 24-year-old who has worked at the deputy director level for less than two years? Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee was very surprised after reading this article. He asked if Dahu County had no cadres. If not, he would transfer them to us from other urban areas. In short, it was a bit hasty to let a 24-year-old young man take charge of a county. Secretary Liu finally instructed that our Yongyang Municipal Party Committee must come up with a decision tonight and report to him. That's why I called everyone here. Next, please talk about your views on this matter and how to deal with it?"

Cai Xingmin was also very depressed. In his opinion, this was probably an article sent by Feng Sizhe to him for the purpose of creating momentum. However, he did not think that with his qualifications and age, he should be as low-key as possible. Would it be good for him to let everyone know about it? He could not understand why Feng Sizhe was shooting himself in the foot.

Chang Ning was sitting in the second seat. After hearing what happened, he quickly made a judgment in his mind. Could this really be the work of Feng Sizhe? It shouldn't be. Things like his are usually handled as low-key as possible. Now that everyone knows about it, his age and qualifications will naturally become an obstacle for him to move up a level. He won't be so stupid. If this matter was not the work of Feng Sizhe, who else could have done it? What is their intention? Expose Feng Sizhe, let the provincial party committee leaders know, and then in anger ruin his promotion to director? Well, this possibility is still possible.

Compared to Qiu Fugui, who was sitting in the third position, he was much more relaxed. Hearing that Secretary Liu was indeed angry after knowing this matter, he was secretly happy. He thought that Li Lianxue and He Zhuhua had done a good job in this article. On the surface, they were praising Feng Sizhe, but in fact, they exposed his inexperience and young age. With such a big incident known to everyone, who would bear such a great pressure and let a young man who just turned 24 run a county? At that time, He Zhuhua would naturally take the opportunity to take the position, which would be of great benefit to him.

Everyone has his own way of thinking and his own way of thinking. No one wants to be the first to express his opinion before things are clarified. This is what Deputy Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee is concerned about. If he talks nonsense, will it leave a bad impression on others? This matter must be handled with caution.

Compared to the cautiousness of others, Jin Dake, the political commissar of the city's military sub-district, was much more outspoken. He was originally a military cadre and was not subject to local control. He did not have to care too much about Deputy Secretary Liu's feelings. "Well, since no one is talking, let me say a few words."

Jin Dake's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. As a military cadre, local affairs had nothing to do with him. The most he could do was vote and raise his hand. As for speaking, it seemed that it would not be his turn.

After everyone looked at Jin Dake, they turned their eyes to Secretary Cai Xingmin. Everyone wanted to hear what the secretary meant.

Cai Xingmin was also at a loss as to how to respond to Deputy Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee. When he heard that Jin Dake wanted to speak, he simply raised his hand and said, "Political Commissar Jin, please speak."
