Rebirth of the Rising Sun

When Feng Sizhe started thinking about the problem, he became much more indifferent and calm.

Chang Ning, who was sitting opposite him, knew that he was thinking about something, so he did not disturb him. He just sat there quietly and drank a few sips of tea. He was waiting, waiting for Feng Sizhe to figure everything out by himself. That would be the best thing for him.

After half a quarter of an hour, Feng Sizhe still hadn't figured it out. He really couldn't figure it out before he knew what the meeting with the provincial party secretary would be like. Well, if he couldn't figure it out, he might as well not think about it. Since it was an order from the provincial party committee, it was enough to show that it was impossible for him to stay in Dahu County. If it was impossible, why bother thinking so much?

"Mayor, I will obey the organization's assignment, but there are some questions I don't understand, so I would like to ask you for advice."

"Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you being so polite given our relationship?" Seeing that Feng Sizhe was about to ask a question, Chang Ning straightened up and prepared to answer at any time.

"Well, the first question is, how much power will I have in Qiu County? As you said, the previous secretary paid with his life for this, so the environment there must not be very good. Then, how much power will I have as the county party secretary after I go there? Facing the local faction there, can I exercise the veto power of the secretary? Second, after I leave Dahu County, who will take over as the county magistrate? Will he be promoted from within Dahu County or transferred from outside? If he is transferred from outside, will there be changes in other members of the county party committee leadership team? Now is a critical time for Dahu County, and I think the municipal party committee and government should also consider this?"

Feng Sizhe quickly grasped the key to the matter and raised these two questions, which Chang Ning admired very much. He had to admire the calmness and carefulness of the young man in front of him.

"Okay, I will answer the two questions you raised now. I have discussed with Secretary Cai. In view of the complex environment in Qiu County, you can use the veto power of the county party secretary at critical moments. Of course, you can also raise any needs with the municipal party committee after arriving in Qiu County. As long as it is not too extreme, we will meet your needs. The requirement is also that you open up the situation in Qiu County smoothly. As for your second question, I can also answer you now. After you leave, the position of county magistrate will definitely be transferred to another place. Secretary Cai's attitude on this point is clear. I think you can guess the reason. What I can fight for you is that for the time being, the position of leading cadres in Dahu County will not change. This is the best effort I can do." At this point, Chang Ning could only sigh. As the mayor, he mainly focuses on the city's economy, and his say in personnel appointments is still very small.

Chang Ning's explanation satisfied Feng Sizhe's requirements. He could see that the mayor had done his best for this matter. "Well, I will obey the decision of the organization. Mayor, when can I take up my post in Qiu County?" Since things have already been done and cannot be changed, let's think about what to do next.

"The Municipal Party Committee's opinion is that the sooner the better. You should go back to Dahu to handle official business now, and then report to the Municipal Party Committee before noon tomorrow. In the afternoon, Minister Wu of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department will accompany you to Qiu County to take up your post. Any problems?" Although time is a bit urgent, there is no other way. If the Provincial Party Committee calls to ask about it and there is no result here, the Municipal Party Committee will be passive.

"Okay." Feng Sizhe nodded in agreement after just a quick thought. Although time was very tight, the situation in Qiu County was more urgent, so it was natural to have a day to prepare.

He got back into the car, but this time Feng Sizhe was not going back to Dahu alone. He was followed by Wu Fuliang, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister. This time he was going to follow Feng Sizhe back to Dahu County to announce his removal from the post of Dahu County magistrate.

"Boss, what does it mean that Minister Wu and the others followed us back? Could it be that there are personnel changes in Dahu County?" Li Shuang, who was driving in the front seat, was very curious, because in his opinion, if the people from the Organization Department followed us, it must mean that there were adjustments to the leadership work, and such matters should be contacted with the county party secretary Fang Xianzhi, but why did they only call the county governor to the meeting this time? This seemed a little unreasonable.

Feng Sizhe sat in the back row and silently looked at the Qiu County information that Chang Ning had hastily prepared for him. When he heard Li Shuang's words, he raised his head and said, "Li Shuang, if what I said means I will be transferred out of Dahu County, what are you going to do?"

"What? The boss is leaving Dahu, then of course I will follow the boss. As long as the boss doesn't dislike me, I will follow you wherever you go." Li Shuang, who was driving, just answered casually, but after saying this, he seemed to remember something, "What? The boss is leaving Dahu, what's going on." As he spoke, Li Shuang stepped on the brakes and the car stopped in a hurry on the national highway from Yongyang to Dahu County.

"Drive carefully." Feng Sizhe was startled when he saw the car stopped, and then he yelled. After this yell, Li Shuang also felt something was wrong, so he quickly shifted gears and accelerated, and started the car again.

"Boss, what did you just say? Are you really going to leave Dahu County?" Li Shuang still couldn't understand why the leader was asked to leave Dahu for no reason? Dahu is now applying to have Dahu County removed from the list of the top 100 poorest counties in the country. How could he possibly leave Feng Sizhe at this time?

"This was decided by my superiors, so I have no choice but to obey. This time I am leaving Dahu to take up the post of secretary of Qiu County. How about it, are you willing to go with me?" Feng Sizhe did not explain much, because he himself had not yet figured out what had happened.

"Oh, boss, you got promoted to county party secretary. Haha, of course I'll follow you." Li Shuang was very happy to hear that Feng Sizhe got promoted. From then on, he became the driver of the county party secretary.

"Haha, if you follow me, you will have to move. Can you leave your newlywed home?"

"Why can't I let go? I'll follow you, and of course Susie will follow too. My home was originally allocated by the county committee. Except for some furniture that belongs to me, the rest are public property. I just need to send the new furniture to my uncle's house. It's no big deal." Li Shuang was happy to talk about moving. After all, the house was not his, so he could move quickly.

"Okay, then after you return to the county, discuss it with Susie and follow me out of Dahu County tomorrow." Feng Sizhe felt a little uncomfortable thinking about leaving Dahu County tomorrow, but there was nothing he could do about it. This is how revolutionary work is, you have to go wherever you are needed.

Fang Xianzhi, secretary of the Dahu County Party Committee, was notified only after Minister Wu Fuliang and Feng Sizhe were on the road. The notification from the Municipal Party Committee over the phone simply said that Minister Wu was going to announce a decision and asked Secretary Fang to gather all the standing committee members of Dahu County and wait for notification.

In the conference room on the third floor of the Dahu County Party Committee Building, Fang Xianzhi was pacing back and forth like an ant on hot pot. In fact, some members of the county party committee standing committee were also whispering to each other there. No one knew what was going on. Only the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Lu Zhuo sat there quietly, thinking about his own things.

Lv Zhuo got the notice that Feng Sizhe was going to be transferred from Dahu County from his cousin, Lv Xianwen, the secretary general of the provincial party committee. He was also shocked when he got the news on the first day of the new year. He couldn't understand why Feng Sizhe was allowed to leave Dahu at this time. Could it be that someone wanted to pick peaches for him when Dahu County was about to have a good harvest and honor? If so, would Feng Sizhe agree? If he didn't agree, would those behind him agree? But it wasn't until he heard what his cousin said next that he knew that Feng Sizhe was promoted and transferred to Qiu County as the secretary.

However, this transfer was not a normal one. Qiu County was now a whirlpool, and many problems had not been figured out. Even the previous county party secretary had died in a car accident. Would it be a good thing to transfer Feng Sizhe there at this time? Lu Zhuo couldn't figure it out.

But no matter whether he could figure it out or not, Feng Sizhe was determined to be transferred from Dahu County. Even the provincial party committee secretaries agreed to something that could not be easily changed. Now Lu Zhuo didn't think about what would happen after Feng Sizhe left Dahu, and what direction the political situation would develop in.

When everyone was whispering in the conference room, imagining what decision Minister Wu would announce next, Wu Fuliang, the Organization Minister of Yongyang Municipal Party Committee, who had been long awaited by these people, finally appeared in front of everyone, and Feng Sizhe followed closely behind.

There was nothing unusual on Feng Sizhe's face, neither he was unhappy nor gloomy, which made Fang Xianzhi and others breathe a sigh of relief. They were sure that Feng Sizhe must know the purpose of Wu Fuliang's visit, and Feng Sizhe's expression was indifferent, which meant that the problem would be very serious.

Especially the county party secretary Fang Xianzhi, his heart has been hanging. This is actually understandable, because according to common sense, he, the county party secretary, should take the lead in personnel adjustments, but this time the city did not call him, but only called Feng Sizhe, does that mean that he has been shelved by his superiors, or that Feng Sizhe is going to replace him. For this reason, when he saw Feng Sizhe enter the meeting room, he kept staring at him until the two looked at each other and Feng Sizhe still did not reveal anything bad, then he breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this time the personnel adjustment is not aimed at him, that's good.
