Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"That's right. Hu Xiaosong, the former head of the General Affairs Section of the County Party Committee Office, is a typical example. I heard that after he left the County Party Committee Office, he started to spread rumors about you, saying that you were abusing your power to exclude dissidents and wanted to completely control the County Party Committee Office and use it for your own purposes." As he spoke, Chen Guangming carefully observed Feng Sizhe's facial expression. He was watching, and if Feng Sizhe was unhappy, he would stop talking immediately.

But Feng Sizhe's expression didn't change at all, as if Chen Guangming was talking about other things that had nothing to do with him. He was not angry or anxious at all.

"Well, I know the situation. You go down first and tell Director Luo. Act quickly. You have also seen what happened today. I think Fan Yuegang's counterattack may be here soon, and we don't have much time to prepare." It was just Hu Xiaosong, so Feng Sizhe didn't take him seriously. He just wanted to use this question to see if Chen Guangming was the kind of person who only reported good news and not bad news. If so, then this person would be of limited use.

Fortunately, Chen Guangming did not disappoint him. His answer still satisfied him. At least he dared to speak. Although people kept observing his expression while he was speaking, it was not easy to do this. As the saying goes, "To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger." Don't you want to observe people's expressions when they are speaking?

After seeing Chen Guangming off, the phone on the desk rang. "Secretary Feng, this is Lv Zhuo."

"Oh, Secretary Lu." Hearing that the call was from Lu Zhuo, Feng Sizhe smiled and relaxed.

"Secretary Feng, it's so satisfying today. When I first saw Fan Yuegang's attitude, I thought we couldn't handle it. But I didn't expect you to have done the work already. Not only is the Tao County Committee on our side, but even Minister Yang and Minister Bai are on our side. It seems there is still a lot we can do to reverse the situation in Qiu County." Lu Zhuo had previously thought that Feng Sizhe had only won over Tao Daotian. After all, he had been in Qiu County for a short time, only a few days earlier than Lu Zhuo himself. He didn't believe that Feng Sizhe had done much useful work in such a short time.

But when the meeting started, especially the voting scene, he had to look at Feng Sizhe with new eyes. He had won over so many people in such a short time, and most importantly, when he won over these people, Fan Yuegang was actually unaware of it. Even when things happened, he might not have figured out the root of the problem. This was something that ordinary masters could do, and Lu Zhuo couldn't help but admire Feng Sizhe from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, today's meeting went well, but we can't relax until we have achieved an absolute victory. You know, there is still Wu Shi from the Fan Department. If he is here today, the outcome of the matter will not develop as we imagined. If that were the case, I'm afraid we would be the losers today." Feng Sizhe knew very well that today he just took advantage of the fact that Wu Shi from the Fan Department was not here, so he caught the other party off guard. To be honest, the victory was also accidental.

"Haha, Secretary Feng, there's no need to be so modest. I have great confidence in you. Look, those words you said at the end of today's meeting really dampened the momentum of Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan, especially that Gu Taicheng, who actually started to bite people without reason when you asked him. It was really interesting. Secretary Feng, I have great confidence in you." Lu Zhuo's admiration for Feng Sizhe was truly unquestionable. It was a genuine conviction and admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, stop bragging about me, or I'll get proud. I think you should spend more time with Deputy County Magistrate Tao. You know, sometimes it's inconvenient for me to do some things in my position."

"Okay, I understand. I will contact Deputy County Magistrate Tao more often. I will not go to your office unless there is something important. I think, as you said, some people have misunderstandings about the relationship between us. That's great. We can just take advantage of this relationship and make them misunderstand. It will be a good thing for us if they can't figure us out." Lu Zhuo is also a smart man. He knows what can be done and what cannot be done for the time being.

Hearing Lu Zhuo say that he understood all this, Feng Sizhe nodded happily. "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Secretary Lu. You should also try your best to control the county discipline inspection commission. If possible, it may not take long for you, the secretary of the discipline inspection commission, to be busy."

"I know, I came to Qiu County just to do my job, don't worry, I'm always ready." When it came to the fact that there would be a case for him to investigate, Lu Zhuo was so excited that he even thought about how smooth his career would be after he investigated major cases in succession.

In the burn ward of Qiu County Central Hospital, Wu Shiyou kept cursing after hanging up the phone.

"Asshole, what do you mean by there is a problem? Liu Tongyi's matter has to be put on hold? Then why is it that the person I recommended has a problem? Is Lu Bin involved in this? This guy is not a good guy. His person wanted to be the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and he agreed. But his own person is just a part-time deputy county magistrate, and he refused to cooperate. What does this mean?" In the ward, after receiving a call from Fan Yuegang that things were not going well, Wu Shiyou directed all his anger on Lu Bin. In his opinion, the failure of this matter was all due to this guy's mischief.

Because of their interests, the problem between Wu Shiyou and Lu Bin has gradually expanded, and recently the two of them even got into a fight. And because of the fight between the two, Feng Sizhe and his men took advantage of the situation and snatched a deputy county magistrate position out of thin air.

Wu Shiyou, who was already furious, wished he could be discharged from the hospital right away with the burns, so that he could find Fan Yuegang to ask him what was going on, and why he, his brothers, sided with Lu Bin and treated him like this.

In Wu Shiyou's opinion, what did the Fan faction want to do in Qiu County that had never been done before? The reason for this result this time was not only because the new county party secretary and discipline inspection committee secretary ruined things, but also because the Fan faction's recommendation of Liu Tongyi was not strong enough, and even someone was interfering. Of course, this someone naturally refers to Lu Bin, who has always had a very bad relationship with him.

In a fit of anger, Wu Shiyou found Chen Xiaojun and assigned him a task in the ward.

"Xiaojun, your brother was tricked this time. You have to help me get rid of this anger."

"Brother Wu, don't worry. I have always disliked Lu Bin. Tell me what to do." Chen Xiaojun had indeed been unhappy with Lu Bin for a long time. If it were not for Lu Bin, his Baide Gold Mine would have dominated the gold mining industry in Qiu County long ago. It would not be like now, where it has to share the business with the Aimin Gold Mine.

"What should we do? We must think of a way to deal with that kid named Lu. Anyway, we must teach him a lesson. This time, he took advantage of my hospitalization to approve the personnel appointment he nominated, but the person I nominated failed the exam. This revenge must be avenged." Wu Shi said angrily with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Okay, that's no problem. I'll find a few brothers to deal with him later. But I heard that it wasn't because of Lu Bin that Liu Tongyi didn't become the county magistrate during the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee of Qiu County this time, but because the new secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the old guy Tao Daotian suddenly joined forces. Isn't it a bit unreasonable to blame Lu for Liu Tongyi's failure to become the deputy county magistrate?" Chen Xiaojun was also a celebrity in Qiu County, and he naturally had some ways to understand the affairs of the county party committee. Especially for a meeting like the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee that was easy to attract more attention, the content of the meeting would be easily leaked.

Listening to Chen Xiaojun's words, Wu Shiyou snorted. "Why, Xiaojun, you believe this? Don't you think about who controls Qiu County? Is there anything that the Fan family can't do? Don't listen to other people's nonsense. I guess the reason why such rumors are spread is because someone deliberately created public opinion behind the scenes, fearing that I have other ideas. But until now, apart from the old guy Lu Keyuan who called me and advised me a few words, even Fan Yuegang didn't show up, which is very telling."

"Oh, Brother Wu, what you mean is that Fan Yuegang deliberately helped that kid named Lu this time, just to trick you while you are in the hospital? If so, then these people are too unreliable." After hearing what Wu Shiyou said, Chen Xiaojun seemed to have suddenly realized something.

"Haha, if they are reliable, sows can climb trees. Xiaojun, remember, the officialdom is the real place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. There is no emotion here at all. If they need you today, they will treat you as their own father. If they don't need you tomorrow, they will kick you away immediately. So if you want to be respected by others, you must not only be ruthless, but also have strength. Strength is always the first priority. Only when you give others a feeling that can always be helpful, will others respect you. Do you understand? This time I was tricked by the kid surnamed Lu. If I don't find a way to get it back, I'm afraid they will get worse next time. This is absolutely not okay." Wu Shiyou has also been in the officialdom for many years. He has seen many high-ranking leaders fail once they commit crimes. It can be said that he has long realized that at this time he will definitely not follow the old path of those people, so he must do something. "
