Rebirth of the Rising Sun

According to Fan Yuegang's analysis, Feng Sizhe made this mistake because he underestimated his enemy. Obviously, Lukeyuan could not agree with this answer.

"No, County Magistrate Fan, I don't think so. On the surface, it seems that we won this matter, but in fact it is not the case. I think he is deliberately testing us, and at the same time, he is also expressing an attitude to the Municipal Party Committee, that is, even if he is the county party secretary, he will still be excluded in Qiu County, and his work will not be carried out well. So this is an excuse for using some unconventional means next. After all, facts have proved that his usual methods will not work in Qiu County. Think about it, a county party secretary can't even command a county party office director. Doesn't that prove that our Qiu County has a big problem in the aspect of top-down effect? ​​According to my estimation, the Municipal Party Committee will soon respond. We in Qiu County are bullying the cadres sent by the Municipal Party Committee, which is more or less a loss of face for them."

Lu Keyuan's analysis was completely different from Fan Yuegang's idea. Hearing this analysis, Fan Yuegang laughed and said, "Old Lu, you think too much. It's just a small matter. How could the municipal party committee have any reaction? Don't you think so?"

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling." Fan Yue had just finished saying this when the office phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, I'm Fan Yuegang."

"Oh, it's Minister Wu. Okay...Okay...I'll notify everyone immediately to prepare for the meeting. I'll be waiting for your arrival." Fan Yuegang hung up the phone with an unhappy look on his face, then glanced at Lu Keyuan with a puzzled expression.

Looking at Fan Yuegang's expression, Lu Keyuan shook his head and said, "What's going on? Is the Municipal Party Committee going to announce another appointment? I guess the higher-ups must have known about this and are here to support Feng Sizhe. Alas, this is a bit rash."

Things turned out just as Lu Keyuan said. For a moment, Fan Yuegang didn't know what to do. He thought that he had indeed believed Wu Shiyou's words this time and thought that he could give Feng Sizhe a warning. Now it seems that it is not the case at all. He miscalculated this time. "Then Lao Lu, what do you think we should do next?"

"What should we do? Of course we should prepare to welcome Minister Wu. As for the rest, we'll have to take it one step at a time. In a word, you must discuss with me before taking any action next time." Lu Keyuan didn't know what to do at this time, but he did understand that with Meng Donglai's car accident, the Municipal Party Committee now attached great importance to Qiu County, and any movement here would attract attention. At this time, their appropriate strategy is to keep a low profile, rather than fighting with others in a high-profile manner.

"Yes, I will. Next time if there is anything, I will definitely discuss it with you." Fan Yuegang nodded. He had to admit that when it came to looking at emergencies, his vision was indeed not as far-sighted as Luke's.

More than an hour later, Wu Fuliang, the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department who had left yesterday, appeared in Qiu County again. In the conference room on the first floor of the Qiu County Party Committee building, he announced an appointment on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, which was to add Comrade Feng Sizhe as the first political commissar of the Qiu County Armed Forces Department and the first secretary of the Standing Committee.

In this way, Feng Sizhe was equivalent to holding two positions at the same time. He was also responsible for the affairs of the armed forces, and he was in charge of all the militia and reserve forces in Qiu County.

Originally, Qiu County had an armed forces minister, but later when Meng Donglai was in office, he removed the minister and took on the role concurrently. Later, he handed things over to the county magistrate Fan Yuegang. This situation led to Qiu County being different from other districts and counties. Ordinary districts and counties had thirteen standing committee members at the time, but Qiu County had only eleven. It had a county armed forces minister and a county trade union chairman, unlike other counties.

Of course, Qiu County also has a trade union organization, but because the main industry here is gold mining, most of the companies are private enterprises, so the work of the trade union is somewhat in name only. In this way, the work of the trade union has actually become unimportant, and the chairman of the trade union naturally did not become a permanent member of the Standing Committee.

With Wu Fuliang's announcement of the appointment, the ranking and division of labor of the 11 standing committee members of Qiu County were determined. They are Feng Sizhe, the county party secretary and the first political commissar of the armed forces department, aged 26; Fan Yuegang, the first deputy secretary and county magistrate, aged 44; Lu Keyuan, deputy secretary of personnel, aged 50; Wang Kun, deputy secretary of discipline, aged 51; Wu Shiyou, deputy secretary and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, aged 43; Lu Bin, executive deputy county magistrate, aged 40; Jiang Daquan, head of the Organization Department, aged 44; Yang Yonghao, head of the Propaganda Department, aged 46; Bai Youshen, head of the United Front Work Department, aged 47; Tao Daotian, deputy county magistrate, aged 54; and Gu Yucheng, director of the county party committee office, aged 41.

Looking at the standing committee members of Qiu County, except for Feng Sizhe, a young man in his twenties, the others are middle-aged people in their forties or fifties. It is understandable that they look down on Feng Sizhe, who is much younger than them.

After announcing the appointment, Wu Fuliang left Qiu County in a hurry without even having a meal. Perhaps in his opinion, Qiu County was about to be in turmoil and it was not suitable for him to stay here.

After a series of appointments, Feng Sizhe actually had more power. Even the county armed forces department was under his control. Although this function was not very large in peacetime, it was undeniable that it proved that his superiors valued him. The scene where Feng Sizhe was threatened with stopping mining to ask Gu Yucheng to come to him was completely resolved because of this appointment.

In the county party committee office, Fan Yuegang sat in his office chair angrily, drinking tea one sip after another.

Sitting opposite him was the executive deputy county chief Lu Bin, who was chattering away, "County chief, you've seen that Wu Shiyou's tactics don't work at all. I listened to you and stopped the Aimin Mining Factory, but to what avail? This time the municipal party committee actually handed over the armed forces issue that you were in charge of to Feng Sizhe. This is like stealing a chicken and losing the rice."

Fan Yuegang didn't know how to respond to Lu Bin's words. He knew that Lu Bin was the real backer of Aimin Gold Mine. In order to cooperate with Wu Shiyou's action, he spoke up, so Aimin cooperated with Baide Gold Mine and launched a strike. In fact, such a strike would cause losses. If they worked one day less, they would lose a lot of gold. Now that things had come to this point, he really didn't know how to explain it to Lu Bin.

"Hey, this matter actually can't be blamed on Wu Shiyou. No one expected the Municipal Committee to react so quickly. We in Qiu County have just expressed our attitude towards Feng Sizhe, and this happened. Doesn't it clearly tell us that the Municipal Committee does not support our Qiu County's reaction. This is something no one had thought of before." Fan Yuegang looked as if he didn't know that the Municipal Committee valued Feng Sizhe so much. In fact, such a move was not because they knew about the Qiu County gold mine strike, but after Wu Fuliang returned yesterday, he reported to the Municipal Committee that when welcoming him, Qiu County Political and Legal Committee Secretary Wu Shiyou wanted to use force to test, which made the Municipal Committee react. After Cai Xingmin and Chang Ning discussed it, considering the actual situation in Qiu County, they put the burden of the armed department on Feng Sizhe again. Since this young man does not have any capable helpers around him, they will give him one more department to manage. In this way, Feng Sizhe's actual power in Qiu County will be greater, and his work will be easier to carry out.

Wu Shiyou's casual behavior actually caused the municipal party committee to make such a decision, which no one had expected before. Now the leaders of Qiu County mistakenly believe that the superiors did this because of the suspension of the gold mine. This really proves the saying that a lucky coincidence can lead to a lucky outcome.

Hearing Fan Yuegang still covering for Wu Shiyou, Lu Bin was a little unhappy. "Hey, County Magistrate Fan, please don't always protect Wu Shiyou. I'm telling you, I'm also one of your direct descendants. Don't treat me differently, or I'll be unhappy."

"No, no way. Haha, Lao Lu, you know that I am sincere to you, right? How could I treat you differently?"

"Okay, since County Magistrate Fan said so, I will also put forward a condition to see if the leader also values ​​me in this way." Lu Bin had been talking for a long time just for Fan Yuegang to say this. Now that he saw that he had finally said such words, how could he waste such an opportunity? He immediately put forward the idea that had been suppressed in his mind for a long time.

Fan Yuegang didn't expect Lu Bin to do this. He wanted to refuse casually, but then he thought about how he had asked Lu Bin to cooperate with him just now in order to help Wu Shiyou. If he rejected his request now, it would seem like he was treating him differently. So he nodded reluctantly, "Okay, Old Lu, just tell me what you want. I will do whatever I can."

"Great! This is what you said yourself, County Magistrate Fan. Hehe, actually my request is not excessive. The County Public Security Bureau is still short of an executive deputy director. I wonder if we can promote the former deputy director Wang Shan to a higher position. Actually, you know that Comrade Wang Shan is quite capable at work."

As soon as Lu Bin made this suggestion, Fan Yuegang fell into silence.
