Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Although Wu Shiyou admitted his mistake, he still found a seemingly plausible reason, which could be considered as a way to save his face.

"Okay, I'm very pleased that Secretary Wu has such an attitude. I just hope that no one will mention Comrade Luo Bing's family issues in the future. As the saying goes, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ them if you don't trust them. Since I have appointed Luo Bing as the deputy director of my county party committee office today, I won't have any doubts. I hope you can also tell the comrades below not to hinder the work of the county party committee office because of this, otherwise I will get angry again. At that time, the situation will force me to use the power of the county party committee secretary to test a few people."

Feng Sizhe's words seemed to mean that he forgave Wu Shiyou, but he also clearly expressed his determination to protect Luo Bing. He even mentioned that if someone really wanted to make trouble in this matter, his power as the county party secretary was no joke. With the veto power in his hands, he could deal with it first and then report. This was also his biggest advantage.

"Okay, okay. Since we have already told Secretary Feng about the matter, and you have your own considerations, we won't say much. Okay, Secretary, you are busy, so we will leave first." Fan Yuegang heard that Feng Sizhe was determined and he knew there was no point in staying. So after saying goodbye, he gave Wu Shiyou a look, and then the two of them quickly left Feng Sizhe's office.

As soon as the two of them left, Luo Bing, who was in the outer room, walked in with red eyes, "Secretary Feng, I..."

Seeing Luo Bing's eyes, Feng Sizhe knew that she must have heard the conversation just now. Coincidentally, perhaps because of being too nervous and angry, Wu Shiyou was the last one to enter the office just now. He was in a hurry and did not close the door tightly, so Luo Bing, who was outside the door, heard it all.

"Okay, Deputy Director Luo, you don't have to think too much. Although I can't get involved in many things in Qiu County now, I still have the ability to protect one person. Don't worry, as long as you work hard and serve the public wholeheartedly, no one can do anything to you, and I won't agree." Feng Sizhe looked at Luo Bing, thinking that she was a woman after all, and her ability to bear was still worse than that of men. After what happened just now, it was necessary for him to comfort her.

"Yes, Secretary Feng, don't worry, I will do my best and won't embarrass you." Luo Bing was deeply moved by Feng Sizhe's promise. Ever since her husband was suspended from his post, she has been hearing rumors. If it weren't for her father who had been the deputy county magistrate and had some connections in Qiu County, her position as deputy director of the Petition Office would have been revoked long ago. Now, Feng Sizhe suddenly appeared by her side, and he trusted her so much. She would definitely do her best and live up to the trust of her leader.

"Okay." Listening to Luo Bing's statement, Feng Sizhe nodded with a smile. "You are now the deputy director of the County Party Committee Office. I believe that after what happened just now, Jiang Daquan from the Organization Department will immediately bring your transfer report to me for signature, so that you can exercise the power of the deputy director. Then I will give you two tasks first. The first is to gain a foothold in the County Party Committee Office as soon as possible and find someone who can be used and trusted. The second thing is to find me a qualified secretary. People must be loyal. You also know that you are a woman. You are by my side every day. It is inevitable that other people will have different ideas. Do you understand?"

Feng Sizhe entrusted these two tasks to Luo Bing, which showed a kind of trust. Speaking of which, he didn't know Luo Bing very well. It was nothing more than the fact that he was infected by his serious attitude towards work when he first entered the Petition Office. Another thing was that when he had dinner with Luo Anhai yesterday, he felt that this official was still upright. He thought that the children of such upright leaders should not be too bad, so he reused Luo Bing.

Some historians in later generations have studied Feng Sizhe's way of employing people. Although he made some mistakes in employing people, he was generally quite accurate in judging people. This may be a special ability given to him by his rebirth.

Fan Yuegang and Wu Shiyou walked out of the county party committee building. Wu Shiyou looked back at a window on the third floor and said to Fan Yuegang angrily, "Hey, County Magistrate Fan, we are leaving like this. Didn't we come here to ask for punishment?"

"Oh, Old Wu, actually I was a little reckless in my work style today. It's my fault for not thinking things through. The director of the county party committee office is originally under the direct supervision of the county party secretary. It's their business to do what they want to do. It's really not easy for us to interfere. Besides, Secretary Feng is our leader, and we can't talk to him like that. Feng Sizhe was able to let the matter go, which actually showed that he didn't want to fall out with us. Think about it, if he really met a strong county party secretary, would he allow someone to talk to him like that? So I should be thankful." After watching Feng Sizhe's performance, Fan Yuegang did not have the same idea as Wu Shiyou. In his opinion, Feng Sizhe's performance today was still remarkable. At least he left some face for himself. When he pleaded for Wu Shiyou, he gave him a way out. That was enough. Did he really want the county party secretary to listen to him in everything? This seemed unlikely.

After listening to Fan Yuegang's words, Wu Shiyou seemed to understand a lot. "Well, let alone what County Magistrate Fan said, it's really true. If someone wants to interfere in the personnel issues of my Public Security Bureau, I'm afraid I will be angry. Haha, speaking of which, the director of the County Party Committee Office, Gu Yucheng, is still our man. With him around, we don't have to worry about Luo Bing making a scene."

"That's right, Old Wu, you should think like this. Also, look at Luo Bing. Although she is over 30 years old, she still has a charming demeanor, even more so than other young girls. Maybe our Secretary Feng saw this in her. We are a little too nervous about making such an arrangement. Sometimes, taking advantage of someone's beauty is also a virtue."

Fan Yuegang quickly regarded Feng Sizhe's arrangement of Luo Bing as deputy director as a gender issue, which made Wu Shiyou laugh again, "Yes, our Secretary Feng is still young and has not yet married. Psychologically, he is still an underage boy. It is indeed understandable that he does this, hahahaha."

Careless Fan Yuegang and Wu Shiyou were paranoid that Luo Bing's transfer was inseparable from the relationship between men and women. Little did they know that it was because of this carelessness that their seemingly Fan faction's fortress was slowly broken. If Feng Sizhe met with Deputy County Magistrate Tao Daotian in the field and the two reached an agreement, it was Feng Sizhe's first step in counterattacking in Qiu County, then the transfer of Luo Bing to the position of deputy director of the county party committee office was his second move.

Feng Sizhe saw Fan Yuegang and Wu Shiyou chatting downstairs from the window on the third floor. Although he could not confirm what the two were talking about, he did know one thing, that is, the matter of Luo Bing's transfer to the county party committee office today had come to an end. At least no one should make a fuss about this issue, which meant that he had taken a solid second step. Next, he had to take the third step, which was to have a good talk with Wang Kun, the secretary of the county discipline inspection committee and one of the deputy secretaries of the county party committee.

I picked up the phone and dialed a number, and then Luo Bing's phone rang in the outer room. "Secretary Feng, do you have any instructions?"

"Please arrange for Secretary Wang Kun of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection to come to my office. I want to talk to him about work." Feng Sizhe meant that he should slowly convince Wang Kun, but today's incident inspired him. He was just appointing a deputy director of the County Party Committee Office, which caused such a big reaction from the people below. It can be imagined how much backlash it would cause if he intervened in the personnel affairs. So, he didn't have much time left. As he carried out his plan step by step, he would eventually be seen through by Fan Yuegang and others. If they saw or found out that he was laying out step by step, would they strongly counterattack? If he couldn't convince more people to stand on his side by then, then he might suffer a heavy blow as the secretary, and his title of secretary would be in name only. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening, he had to speed up his pace. Chatting with Wang Kun became a matter that had to be carried out without compromise. Whether it succeeded or not, he had to try it in advance. If it really didn't work, he would have time to think of other ways.

About ten minutes later, Wang Kun came to Feng Sizhe's office. After Luo Bing poured him a cup of fresh tea, he took the initiative to leave. Only Feng Sizhe and Wang Kun were left in the office.

"Secretary Feng, what's the matter with you calling me here?" Wang Kun, with a serious face, did not show any intention of trying to build a relationship with Feng Sizhe. He went straight to the point, which showed his attitude, that is, there was only official business between him and Feng Sizhe, and no personal relationship.

It is understandable if an ordinary disciplinary committee secretary would do this. After all, the disciplinary committee is responsible for offending people and dealing with various problematic officials every day. Over time, it is normal for them to have a serious face.

But this Wang Kun is different. He is a well-known silent secretary. He does nothing at all in the position of the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary. It can even be said that the current situation in Qiu County is inseparable from his inaction as the county party secretary. If he is replaced by a Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary who is not afraid of power, people like Fan Yuegang will definitely be more restrained in what they do.
