Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Feng Sizhe was busy with his work, whether it was selecting a secretary or thinking about changing a secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Not far from his office, Lu Keyuan, deputy secretary of the Qiu County Party Committee, also met with Gu Yucheng, director of the County Party Committee Office, in his office.

Luke Yuan sat down beside the small sofa for guests and politely poured a cup of tea for Gu Yucheng himself, which made Gu Yucheng feel a little flattered.

"Secretary Lu, you don't have to be so polite. I can do it myself."

"Hey, Old Gu, do you still need to be so polite to me? Haha, come here just like you would in your office." Lu Keyuan smiled and handed the poured tea to Gu Yucheng. This is one of his ways to win people over, that is, never use power to pressure people, but respect them very much, let them be grateful to you, if so, many things will come naturally.

Gu Yucheng took the tea handed over by Lu Keyuan and was indeed a little touched. He was the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and he would most likely become the county magistrate or even the secretary of the county party committee in the next step. He was far from being like himself, the director of the county party committee office. Although he was also a member of the county party committee standing committee and a deputy division-level cadre, he was actually managed by others. If he wanted to go further, he would have to train himself in a deputy division-level position for a few years, and at least he would have to get a position as an organization minister or other positions first. In short, it was almost impossible to become a full division-level cadre in one step.

Seeing Gu Yucheng carefully accept the tea he handed over, Lu Keyuan chuckled. He knew that the atmosphere that had been brewing in the early stage was almost done, and it was time to talk about business. "Hey, Old Gu, I went to the city for a meeting yesterday and came back very late. But as soon as I came back, I received a call from Old Wu. What's going on? I heard that your county party committee office just got a deputy director. Tell me, what do you think?"

Facing the question raised by Lu Keyuan, Gu Yucheng had to answer. "It's like this, Secretary Lu. I didn't come to the county party committee yesterday morning because I had something to do. Then Secretary Feng arranged for Comrade Luo Bing, the former deputy director of the Petition Office, to be the deputy director of the county party office. I didn't know anything about this appointment before. I also heard that County Magistrate Fan and Wu Shiyou went to Secretary Feng's office to discuss this matter, but there was no result. I thought that since County Magistrate Fan couldn't do it, then I didn't have too many ideas. He is the county party secretary, and it is reasonable for him to appoint a deputy director of the county party office. I really can't say anything."

Although Gu Yucheng said that he couldn't say anything, it actually reflected his mentality, that is, he still had a lot of resistance to this appointment. Come to think of it, he suddenly had an extra deputy, but the organization didn't ask for his opinion, it was impossible to say that he had no ideas.

"Oh, is that so?" Lu Keyuan laughed after hearing what Gu Yucheng said. "Then I wonder if the coming of this deputy director will cause any problems for the work of the county party committee office?"

Lu Keyuan was not worried about having another deputy director. He was afraid that the new deputy director would sideline Gu Yucheng, the full-time director. If that happened, the situation would be bad. Now, both the county party committee and the county government in Qiu County were actually controlled by the Fan faction. It was an ironclad system. If someone suddenly opened a gap from the county party committee office at this time, it would definitely be a blow to the Fan faction. As a military advisor in the Fan faction, Lu Keyuan would not allow such a thing to happen.

"There is no problem with this. Luo Bing just arrived and she does not have much power. There is also a deputy director and many small section chiefs in the county party committee office who have a very good relationship with me. Without my order, they will not cooperate with Luo Bing's work. This is not a problem." When Gu Yucheng heard Lu Keyuan asking about the work of the county party committee office, he of course had to pat his chest and guarantee it. The reason why he could attract the attention of Lu Keyuan and even Fan Yuegang was simply because he was in charge of the county party committee office. If he really did not hold great power, it is conceivable that who would take him seriously?

Gu Yucheng's assurance made Lukeyuan nod his head. "Okay, I can rest assured that you are here in the County Party Committee Office. You know, the County Party Committee Office seems to have little power and cannot play any role in personnel or county finances, but you do know that the County Party Committee Office manages a lot of miscellaneous matters, and it is the central position for conveying orders. I can only rest assured if you, Gu, take this position."

"Thank you Secretary Lu for your praise. I will do my best and will not let the new Deputy Director Luo get any real power." Gu Yucheng was very happy when he heard Lu Keyuan's praise for him. If others valued him, it would prove that he was indeed valuable to be used. This was a good thing. Thinking that Lu Keyuan valued him so much now, he could take the opportunity to talk about that matter. After coughing, he carefully asked Lu Keyuan, "Secretary Lu, there is something I want to report to you. I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Hey, what is our relationship? Just tell me what you want to say, Old Gu." Lu Keyuan looked at Gu Yucheng as he was about to put forward conditions. Although he was very disdainful in his heart, he did not show any unhappiness on his face.

"Oh, this is what happened. Last night I heard from a friend that the gold mine shares that were promised to me were suddenly taken back, and they said that this was done at the request of Wu Shiyou. You also know that during the time when Secretary Meng was in power, I made a lot of contributions to everyone. This is so sudden..."

Lu Keyuan waved his hand, interrupting what Gu Yucheng was about to say, "Old Gu, don't think too much. I think this must be Wu Shiyou's stubborn temper again. Don't worry, I will call him right now. I will not reduce the amount I promised you in advance."

Lu Keyuan didn't expect that such a thing would happen just one day after he left the county party committee. Although he knew that Wu Shiyou sometimes looked down on Gu Yucheng, he was still very useful, especially now that there was a new county party secretary, so the position of director of the county party committee office was even more important. How could Wu Shiyou do such a thing at this time? Isn't this pushing him out? Oh, think about this Wu Shiyou, he was really spoiled by Fan Yuegang.

Lu Keyuan was the last one to say that. He picked up the phone in front of Gu Yucheng and called Wu Shiyou's office. Wu Shiyou was in the office at the moment. When he picked up the phone and heard Lu Keyuan's voice, he quickly said respectfully, "It's Secretary Lu."

"Old Wu, I heard that you had someone withhold the money belonging to Old Gu. What do you mean by this? I tell you, no matter what the reason is, take back this order immediately." As soon as the phone call was connected, Lukeyuan scolded Wu Shiyou.

If the call was from Fan Yuegang, Wu Shiyou might even have said something contradictory, but it was different with Lu Keyuan. In Qiu County, it was true that Wu Shiyou was Fan Yuegang's man, and even the most powerful person in the Fan faction was Fan Yuegang, otherwise why would it be called the Fan faction. But it must be said that the person who gave Wu Shiyou the most sense of oppression was Lu Keyuan, because he was too smart and his methods of dealing with people were even more severe. Wu Shiyou, who had a great understanding of Lu Keyuan, had already had an idea in his mind, that is, he must not offend Lu Keyuan, otherwise he would probably be in big trouble. Therefore, when he heard that Lu Keyuan was angry on the phone, he immediately suppressed all his dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction in his heart, "Okay, Secretary Lu, I will do as you say right away."

"Well, Old Wu, you and Old Gu are all in the same boat. You must think things through carefully in the future. There should not be any internal strife among us. Otherwise, others will laugh at you and take advantage of the opportunity. That is not the result we want." Hearing that Wu Shiyou was relatively obedient, Lu Keyuan's tone softened a little.

"Yes, Secretary Lu is right. I was a little reckless in doing this. I will never do this again in the future."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'm hanging up now." Lu Keyuan hung up the phone after saying this. As soon as he hung up, Gu Yucheng beside him stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, Secretary Lu. You are really amazing. Sometimes Wu Shiyou doesn't even listen to County Magistrate Fan. Only you, Secretary Lu, can control him."

Facing these two obvious flattery, Lu Keyuan waved his hand and said, "Old Gu, I'm not as powerful as you say. It's just that Old Wu did something a bit too much in this matter, so he had to listen to me. You are all my good friends, and I don't want any of you to make any mistakes. So whether it's Old Wu or you, if you really make a mistake, I will criticize you. Of course, this is also for the good of all of us, not because I have any opinion about anyone, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, Secretary Lu is right. Don't worry, I will be cautious in everything I do in the future. If I am undecided about something, I will report to Secretary Lu." Hearing that Lu Keyuan's words obviously had some of his own ideas, Gu Yucheng immediately took the initiative and said that he would definitely listen.

"Haha, there's no need to report. We can just discuss anything together." Lu Keyuan used another word to accept Gu Yucheng's intention to report anything.
