Rebirth of the Rising Sun

As soon as Fang Xianzhi finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience. Everyone knew that after Fang Xianzhi's words, Dahu County would usher in a new situation. This conference was also a landmark conference for Dahu County, a conference that would connect the past and the future.

The next morning, Fang Xianzhi and Feng Sizhe drove straight to Yongyang City. Seeing their car going far away, all the staff of Dahu County Party Committee were very excited. Even people like Song Dawei and Wei Xiang who had always been at odds with Feng Sizhe had mixed feelings. After all, Dahu County had achieved this transformation during their term of office, and as members of the leadership team of Dahu County, they would also be credited with a contribution.

After Fang Xianzhi and Feng Sizhe arrived in Dahu County, they received a warm welcome from the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cai Xingmin and Mayor Chang Ning. Looking at the submitted documents, the two municipal leaders were very happy. As the direct leaders of Dahu County, if Dahu County can really get rid of poverty this time, it is inseparable from their leadership ability. How can everyone not be happy? Just for the sake of caution, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cai Guangmin still entrusted Mayor Chang Ning to go to Dahu County in person to take a look, understand and master first-hand materials. If everything is true, the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee will naturally fight for Dahu County.

Chang Ning had the same idea, so in the afternoon, Mayor Chang Ning and Standing Committee Deputy Mayor Xi Chuanxiu accompanied Fang Xianzhi and Feng Sizhe back to Dahu County.

Xi Chuanxiu had heard of Feng Sizhe a long time ago. That was when she was working in the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee. As Governor Tong's person, she often went to Governor Tong's house to be a guest and report on her work. At that time, she had heard that Governor Tong's son Tong Qing had increased his wealth a hundred times in a short period of time. At that time, she was very curious about how Governor Tong's son was so powerful. Could it be that he listened to his father and everything was Governor Tong's idea? But later she found out that it was a man named Feng Sizhe who helped him complete this perfect transformation. Since then, Xi Chuanxiu began to be curious about this man named Feng Sizhe.

Half a year ago, Governor Tong took advantage of this opportunity and asked Xi Chuanxiu to come to Yongyang City to join the Standing Committee and serve as the deputy mayor. With the intention of doing something, Xi Chuanxiu came to Yongyang City. After arriving at the Yongyang City Government, he heard Feng Sizhe's name again. Almost all the staff of Yongyang City Government said that among all the county governors in Yongyang, Feng Sizhe was the most capable, most courageous, and youngest.

Xi Chuanxiu didn't feel strange at all when she heard Feng Sizhe's name for the first time. She had met Feng Sizhe several times outside of work. She was surprised by his youth and his working ability. However, due to work reasons, she had never been to Dahu County where he was in charge. This time, she finally had the opportunity to follow Mayor Chang to Dahu County to see what the real situation was like. Xi Chuanxiu was also very excited.

After arriving in Dahu County, she finally understood what kind of cadre Feng Sizhe was. It can be said that whether in the county party committee compound, or in the ten towns and fourteen townships of Dahu County, if in any small village they investigated, or in front of the township, as long as Feng Sizhe's name was mentioned, no one would fail to give him a thumbs up. Everyone said that he was the best cadre and the best county magistrate sent to them by the Party and the government.

Seeing that most of the families in the village have hung up shiny signs of prosperity, and that many families are able to buy color TVs, and some have even bought motorcycles, how can all these changes prove that Dahu County is one of the top 100 poorest counties in the country?

Xi Chuanxiu was deeply impressed by Feng Sizhe's work ability. Similarly, Mayor Chang Ning was also moved by the rapid changes in Dahu County.

Chang Ning had been to Dahu County before, but the economy of Dahu County he saw at that time had not yet started, or was just beginning. At that time, few people had bicycles at home, and they did not ride motorcycles like now, and mechanization had begun. Looking at the unified management of the fields, including unified fertilization, unified seed supply, unified land preparation and sowing, unified management, and unified sales, Chang Ning simply said to Xi Chuanxiu beside him, "Deputy Mayor Xi, I think this experience of Dahu County should be promoted, and leaders of other poor districts and counties should come and see how they produce and manage here."

"Yes, Mayor Chang is right. If something is good, we should learn from it and draw lessons from it. I think Dahu's work in agriculture can be promoted throughout the city." Xi Chuanxiu also said in agreement.

The trip to Dahu County didn't take too long to end. In fact, not long after arriving in Dahu County, Chang Ning knew that most of the reports submitted by Feng Sizhe were true, but he stayed for two more days with an attitude of learning.

After conducting research in Changning, the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee and the Dahu County Party Committee reached a consensus that Dahu County no longer needed to apply for state aid funds, and the report on its escape from being one of the top 100 poorest counties in the country was soon submitted to the Provincial Party Committee.

In the provincial party committee, Liu Wenyu, the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and Guan Changxiao, the head of the provincial party committee's organization department, were very happy. They were the two who had originally decided to let Feng Sizhe be the county magistrate, and they had also put pressure on Feng Sizhe to complete the task of poverty alleviation in two years. Now it seems that they were right in their choice of person. Feng Sizhe is indeed a capable comrade and an excellent cadre who has not let them down.

In the room of Governor Tong Zhengcai, Deputy Secretary Liu Wenyu and Minister Guan Changxiao sat casually, discussing the issue of Dahu County's escape from being one of the top 100 poorest counties in the country.

"Old Liu, Old Guan. You two are really good mentors. Back then, you went against the majority and allowed Feng Sizhe, who was only 24 years old, to be the county magistrate. Now it seems that it was the right decision." Tong Zhengcai said with a smile as he faced a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and a provincial party committee organization minister.

"Hey, this has to be attributed to Secretary Liu. Back then, he went to Dahu County in disguise to get to know Comrade Feng Sizhe. It was really a surprise. After a day of research in Dahu County, no one knew Secretary Liu's identity. Haha, it was amazing." When talking about the decision made at that time, Guan Changxiao had to mention Deputy Secretary Liu Wenyu. Feng Sizhe was able to overcome all objections and became the head of the county regardless of his qualifications or age. It was all the result of Liu Wenyu's keen eye for talent.

"Haha." Liu Wenyu waved his hands after hearing Guan Changxiao's words. "This achievement should be attributed to Comrade Feng Sizhe himself. If he wasn't such a tough guy, I wouldn't have chosen him, right? Hahaha."

"Yes, yes, Secretary Liu is right. Comrade Feng Sizhe is indeed a good comrade with courage. We should dare to use such cadres and make good use of them." The Organization Minister saw that the time seemed to be ripe, so he put forward his thoughts.

Miao Zihan had told him a long time ago that she hoped to speak for Feng Sizhe when she had the chance, and Guan Changxiao agreed at that time. From the perspective of the Organization Minister, Feng Sizhe is indeed a rare good cadre and a talent. The only problem is that he is too young. If Feng Sizhe is in his thirties now, there will be no problem in promoting him to a deputy mayor. But then again, the age barrier cannot be ignored. Letting a person who is only 26 years old be appointed as deputy mayor is probably shocking to the whole country.

After Guan Changxiao said this, Tong Zhengcai also nodded. He had also been told by the Duan family to speak up for Feng Sizhe when appropriate, but based on his principles, he still didn't want Feng Sizhe to be promoted too quickly, because sometimes a smooth career is not necessarily a good thing, as the saying goes, you can't see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain.

For this reason, Tong Zhengcai meant that although Feng Sizhe had made great achievements in his work, he still needed some more training. He wanted to propose that Feng Sizhe continue to train as the mayor of Dahu County. After all, he had only been the mayor for less than two years, and according to regulations he should continue to work in his job.

Tong Zhengcai had almost thought about it and was ready to speak out his thoughts, but just as he was about to open his mouth, before he could say anything, his secretary Li Bin rushed in and opened the door. "Three leaders, Secretary Qiao's secretary just called and said that the three leaders should go to the secretary's place for a meeting."

"Well, what happened?" It was already a bit strange that the secretary barged in like this, and he suddenly wanted to convene a meeting of secretaries so urgently, which undoubtedly meant that something big had happened.

"I'm not too sure about this. But Director Li Ran sounded very urgent on the phone. He also asked Minister Guan to attend the meeting as well." Li Bin said anxiously.

Speaking of Li Ran, he is the secretary of the provincial party committee secretary Qiao Yongjun and also the director of the provincial party committee office. So sometimes people also call him Director Li.

Hearing that it was Secretary Qiao who asked Li Ran to give the order personally, Tong Zhengcai, Liu Wenyu and Guan Changxiao looked at each other and stood up. Something big must have happened, otherwise they would not have held a meeting of secretaries without even saying hello and informing each other in advance.

When Tong Zhengcai, Liu Wenyu and Guan Changxiao walked into the small conference room of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhu Yingcai, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Yuan Sheng, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Zhongzhou Provincial Public Security Department, were already present.

Seeing Tong Zhengcai, Liu Wenyu, and Guan Changxiao come in, Zhu Yingcai and Yuan Sheng stood up quickly.
