Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"It's not that I don't care, but it's not the right time. To be honest, the situation in Qiu County is very complicated. Although I came here a few days earlier than you, I still don't know much about the situation here. If we want the criminals to be punished by the law, we need to have comprehensive and conclusive evidence. So we still have a long way to go in the future, Secretary Lu."

Listening to Feng Sizhe's earnest words, Lu Zhuo nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you, Secretary Feng, but what you just said, will it work if we deliberately make each other feel at odds?"

"It should be. The two of us just performed a double act, which will surely make Lu Keyuan, who thinks he is smart, think that there is a deep grudge between us. And then he will most likely try to divide us, so that we can take the opportunity to see clearly what kind of people they are. I have already investigated. Yesterday afternoon, Lu Keyuan went to Yongyang City and asked several people about the relationship between you and me. Humph, they want to divide us, so we might as well take the initiative to divide them." Feng Sizhe thought about Chen Hu reporting to him about Lu Keyuan's movements last night, and a gleam of fighting light flashed in his eyes.

When he was in Dahu County, he had no choice but to take down some ineffective Dahu officials in order to make Dahu County prosperous. Now after coming to Qiu County, he found that it was still the same, even worse than before. I'm sorry, it seems that if I don't take action, someone will really think I'm a sick cat.

"Oh, let's divide them first, then how should we do it?" Listening to Feng Sizhe's words, Lu Zhuo guessed that he must have some ideas, so he asked hurriedly.

"Hmph, the matter is very simple. This time they say on the surface that they want us to get to know everyone, but in fact they just want to use this excuse to carry out their personnel appointments. Well, we will let one of the personnel orders go through, and leave the other on hold. In this way, some people will be happy and some will be worried. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that there will be some disputes among them. After all, some people have gained benefits, while others have gained nothing. This way, they will be disunited. If this is our best opportunity, we can take the opportunity to get more situation reports." There was no reason for Feng Sizhe not to take advantage of this deal that was delivered to his door. Originally, he was afraid that the political situation in Qiu County was too quiet and he had seen too little. Now, someone actually brought the opportunity to his door. How could he not seize it?

Feng Sizhe had a plan, and Lu Zhuo had an idea in mind. However, he was still a little worried because there were only two people on his side. He was not sure whether these two people could stop Fan's personnel appointment, so he asked, "Secretary Feng, there are only two of us, right? If so, this operation may not succeed."

Lu Zhuo was worried that the cadres in Qiu County would be too united. If that was the case, even if he and Feng Sizhe worked together on this matter, they would probably not be able to accomplish it.

"It's okay. When the meeting starts, just do this and that, and people will naturally stand with you." Feng Sizhe whispered his plan into Lu Zhuo's ear.

After Lu Keyuan walked out of the county party secretary's office, he immediately returned to the office and called the county magistrate Fan Yuegang.

"Old Lu, what's the situation? What did he say?" After Fan Yue picked up the phone and knew it was Lu Keyuan calling, she hurriedly asked for the answer she wanted to know.

"Hey, when I went there, our Secretary Feng was arguing with the new comrade Lu Zhuo. How could he have time to take care of these things? Of course, I also saw that he was a little unhappy about the sudden convening of the Standing Committee to discuss personnel issues, but he still held back. This young man has great patience."

Listening to Lu Keyuan's description of Feng Sizhe's situation, Fan Yuegang laughed, "Oh, it seems that Lu Zhuo and Secretary Feng really have some grudges. This is exactly what we can take advantage of. We can use this issue to make them fight each other, so that they have no time to take care of more things in Qiu County. But isn't it a bit exaggerated when you say that this young Secretary Feng is very patient?"

Lu Keyuan knew that Fan Yuegang had been looking down on Feng Sizhe from the beginning. It made sense that the position of county party secretary was supposed to be someone else's turn, but now that Feng Sizhe suddenly appeared, this rule was broken. How could he be pleasing to someone who had taken his position? Thinking that the county party committee standing committee meeting was about to be held, this was not the time to be distracted and discuss other issues, Lu Keyuan laughed and put aside the question about Feng Sizhe, "Well, maybe I'm too cautious. Haha, anyway, judging from the situation, today's standing committee meeting should go smoothly."

"Haha, that's for sure. Okay, let's get ready for the meeting." Fan Yuegang certainly didn't think there would be any problems in today's meeting. Although there were two new faces in the current Qiu County Standing Committee, and their status was not low, it was just that they had only been in Qiu County for a short time and were not very old, which made him relax his vigilance against them.

Lu Zhuo followed Feng Sizhe's arrangement and left his office first. After Lu Zhuo left, Feng Sizhe picked up the office phone on the table and made a call. He talked to the other party for about three minutes before hanging up. Then he walked out of the county party secretary's office with a satisfied step and went straight to the small meeting room on the first floor of the county party committee.

When Feng Sizhe appeared in the small conference room, almost all the members of the Standing Committee of the Qiu County Party Committee had arrived. The reason why they said almost all were there was because there were still two key figures who had not arrived, one was the county magistrate Fan Yuegang, and the other was the deputy secretary of the county party committee Lu Keyuan.

Generally speaking, meetings have their own special rules, that is, those who arrive late are basically the backbone figures who can control the meeting.

For example, under normal circumstances, when a county party committee standing committee meeting is convened, the last person to arrive should be the county party committee secretary. When a municipal party committee standing committee meeting is convened, the last person to arrive should be the municipal party committee secretary. By analogy, we can see who has the highest official rank and the most powerful status.

However, this was not the case in Qiu County, because Feng Sizhe, the county party secretary, arrived first. On the contrary, the county magistrate Fan Yuegang and the deputy secretary Lu Keyuan did not arrive. This also indirectly illustrates one thing, that is, the person who really has the final say in Qiu County does not seem to be Feng Sizhe, the county party secretary.

After Feng Sizhe entered the meeting room, he politely nodded to his colleagues who looked at him, and then he sat in the position of the county party secretary. The sight line here is really good, and you can observe the movements and even expressions of every participant very well, which is indeed better than when you sit next to them.

After he sat down, Chen Guangming, the secretary who followed Feng Sizhe in, immediately poured him a cup of hot tea. Then he found an inconspicuous seat in the back row, opened his notebook, and prepared to record the meeting. This is the privilege of the secretary of the county party secretary.

As the secretary of the county party secretary, he can attend the county party committee standing committee meetings as usual and also has the responsibility of taking notes. This is basically an unwritten rule and people don't have any ideas about it.

Feng Sizhe took a sip of tea, then casually raised his left wrist and looked at the time on his expensive watch. Three minutes had passed since the meeting time that Lu Keyuan mentioned, but Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan had not arrived yet.

Feng Sizhe's face was normal, and people couldn't tell that he had any other thoughts, but in fact, he had begun to calculate in his heart. No one showed up at the meeting time, which was enough to show that Fan Yuegang wanted to take this opportunity to tell everyone something, that is, although he was the county magistrate in Qiu County, he was still the boss and had a lot of say in many things.

This method of proof that was not proof made Feng Sizhe feel angry in his heart. He decided to talk about this matter later. After all, he was the secretary of the county party committee and the leader of the county party committee. It would have been fine if Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan didn't inform him of the meeting, but the content of the meeting was about the personnel issues he was in charge of. What's more, they were late for the meeting?

This series of events proves that no one takes me seriously. Since you don't take me seriously, I will teach you a lesson and let you know that respecting others is a virtue.

About five minutes later, ten minutes after the meeting officially started, Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan walked into the small conference room on the first floor with a smile on their faces.

When the two of them entered the small meeting room together, they didn't seem to notice that they were late, but smiled and chatted with each other. It was not until they entered the meeting room and came to their seats that they noticed that except for Wu Shiyou who was injured in the hospital, they were the only two who didn't come.

"Oh, haha, comrades, I'm really sorry that I'm late because of something. I'm late and have kept you waiting for a long time." With a smile on his face without a trace of guilt, Fan Yuegang sat in the first deputy seat on the right while speaking.

"Yes, there are indeed some things I need to discuss with County Mayor Fan, so I am a few minutes late. I hope you don't mind. Well, everyone is here, we can start the meeting." Lu Keyuan also responded to Fan Yuegang's meaning and followed closely.
