Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Well, I hope my consideration is unnecessary. Now that we can't find Xiaowu, we might as well find someone else to take the blame. Fortunately, Lu Bin doesn't know who did it, so we can just find someone to deal with it." After listening to Fan Yuegang's words, Wu Shiyou thought it made sense, so he let the matter go and came up with another idea, which was to find someone to take the blame.

"Okay." Wu Shi nodded. Since he couldn't hit Xiao Wu, he had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, if he kept delaying, Lu Bin would inevitably have other ideas and wonder if he was just trying to fool him. If that was the case, it would be bad.

"Okay, let's do it this way. If you still can't find Xiaowu before dark, then you can find someone to take the blame. At that time, Secretary Lu and I will act as good people and mediate between you and Lao Lu. You will still be friends in the future, right? Qiu County is so big, there will be many opportunities for everyone to cooperate, whether it is to continue to move forward or to make money. There will be many opportunities." Finally, Fan Yuegang stood up and finalized the final outcome of the matter.

With Fan Yuegang's strong intervention, the matter was settled. They just had to wait until dark, when these two people would act as middlemen and mediate between Wu Shiyou and Lu Bin.

In the compound of Qiu County Party Committee, Feng Sizhe received a call from Chen Hu in his office. The Fifth Brother had been controlled and hidden in a long-uninhabited bungalow in the county town. It was a point set up by Chen Hu. There were no less than four people from the Xing Family Clan guarding outside the door. Under such circumstances, the Fifth Brother could not escape even if he had wings.

Knowing that his fifth brother had been arrested, Feng Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief. This step was equivalent to planting a bomb between Wu Shiyou and Lu Bin, two generals of the Fan faction. If this matter was used well, it would be of great help in disintegrating the Fan faction. Thinking that he had finally found a breakthrough point in this complex environment, and just as he was thinking about how to use this matter, suddenly there was a quarrel in the corridor outside the door. Hearing that the quarrel was not small, Feng Sizhe pushed open the office door and walked out.

The person who had an argument in the county party committee building was none other than Gu Yucheng, one of the county party committee standing committee members and director of the county party committee office. At the moment, he was finding fault with Luo Bing, deputy director of the county party committee office.

"Deputy Director Luo, what's the matter with your job? Didn't I tell you that the specific work of the County Party Committee Office cannot take effect without my signature? But why are there so many things I don't know?" Gu Yucheng stood at the door of Luo Bing's office, reeking of alcohol, and spoke in a loud voice.

It looked like Gu Yucheng was deliberately trying to increase the impact in order to put pressure on Luo Bing and let others know that he still had the final say in the county party committee office. Normally, he wasn't like this, but once he drank, he couldn't help but let his thoughts out.

Luo Bing stood up from his office chair in a very good-tempered manner. "I'm sorry, Director Gu, I don't know what you mean by many of the things you mentioned. I have done everything in accordance with the rules and regulations. If you have any questions, you can tell me clearly."

Seeing that Luo Bing dared to call him out like this, Gu Yucheng was unhappy. After all, he was also a deputy division-level cadre and a member of the county party committee standing committee. Luo Bing had only been assigned to the county party committee office for a short time, and had only been a regular cadre for a short time, yet he dared to openly question his words like this. If he didn't suppress the other party's momentum this time, who would take him seriously in the future?

"Mr. Luo, don't play dumb. Let me ask you, who agreed to select personnel from the county party committee office to form an inspection team to investigate the verification of government staff files in various units below? Did I arrange for you to do this? Have you reported to me again? I'm afraid you made the decision on your own, right? Let me ask you, do I still have the final say in the county party committee office? What do you want to do now?"

Gu Yucheng's voice of accusation was very loud, and he looked completely righteous, as if he was blaming Luo Bing for something wrong.

Chen Guangming, who ran over after hearing the quarrel, looked at Gu Yucheng's arrogant speech and couldn't stand it anymore. "Director Gu, don't say that. If you have anything to say, you can talk calmly. Why do you have to quarrel so loudly? Others will laugh at you if you see it."

"Don't come on." Seeing that Chen Guangming was going to meddle in this trivial matter, Gu Yucheng pushed Secretary Chen who had just walked to his side aside and said, "I'm telling you, Chen Guangming, don't think that you can take care of everything just because you are the secretary of the county party secretary. I'm telling you, you are like a rabbit with a long tail. You will be kicked out sooner or later."

Gu Yucheng was really angry this time. Luo Bing had kept it a secret from him. Without telling him, he sent a county party committee inspection team to check the files of the staff of various county party committee offices. This was not a small matter. There were countless staff members in various county offices whose files were forged. Some of them had fake diplomas. For example, some of them said they had junior college degrees, but in fact they had not even graduated from middle school. Some of them said they had technical secondary school degrees, but they had not even attended elementary school for a few days. There was also fake age. Some people were obviously over 50 years old and should have retired, but they were greedy for that position, so their files only said they were over 40 years old, so that they could occupy that position and continue to do whatever they wanted. At that time, files did not need to be entered into any microcomputer. In this way, they only needed to write a copy casually and have the leader sign and approve it. Under such circumstances, if the inspection team really investigated strictly, there would be many problems.

As Gu Yucheng, who has been in charge of this matter in the county party committee office, he knows very well that if the result of this census is different from that of previous years, the final responsibility will definitely be put on him, which will be greatly disadvantageous to him. Moreover, in recent years, he has received countless kickbacks and money by doing this matter. In this way, not only will he be responsible, but he will also have less income in this area in the future. How can he have money to drink every day? It would be strange if he is not anxious.

When he was in a hurry, Chen Guangming came to mediate. It would be strange if he didn't get angry with him.

Chen Guangming was stunned by what Gu Yucheng said. He came here with good intentions, thinking that it would be a bad thing to have such a thing happen in the county party committee building, so he did this to consider the impact on everyone. But Gu Yucheng didn't take his kindness seriously at all, but instead treated it as a donkey's liver and lungs, and acted as if he didn't care.

Seeing that this person couldn't distinguish between good and bad people, Chen Guangming had no choice but to take a step back and stand aside.

Chen Guangming's retreat made Gu Yucheng very happy. He thought that it was his authority and words that intimidated the other party, and that the other party was afraid of him. After saying this and driving Chen Guangming away, he gradually became bolder, and then turned his head to look at Luo Bing, "And you, you think you are innocent, do you think you can do anything to me by doing this? I tell you, you'd better think about your actual situation. Don't you know what kind of person your husband is? If you didn't have a father who was a deputy county magistrate, you would have achieved what you have today. Also, don't think that just because you are a little bit pretty, all men in the world will surrender to you. I tell you, the fact is..."

"The fact is that Director Gu talks too much." Suddenly, a very heavy voice came from behind Gu Yucheng.

Gu Yucheng felt very unhappy when he heard the voice, so he turned around to look. This glance made his heart tremble, because standing not far behind him was Feng Sizhe, the county party secretary of Qiu County.

Feng Sizhe had been standing there for a while, including what Gu Yucheng said about Chen Guangming just now. He also saw it. The reason why he didn't say anything was that he wanted to see what else Gu Yucheng would say. But he didn't expect that Gu Yucheng had no manners at all. The more he talked, the more he started to insinuate others. He couldn't help but come out and take care of it.

When Feng Sizhe stood up, Gu Yucheng was speechless for a moment. Even if he had drunk a lot of wine, he knew that the person in front of him was his leader. (I still remember a satellite TV news report about a middle-aged man who was drunk and happened to meet the police checking for drunk driving. He was caught, but because he was drunk, he refused everyone. He scolded the police and beat the reporters. Until he had no other choice, someone suggested that he should find his leader. As soon as his leader showed up, he immediately became as obedient as a cat and did whatever the leader said.)

"Look at you. Why do you drink so much during work hours? Why don't you go home and sober up quickly." Feng Sizhe spoke to Gu Yucheng in the tone of a leader showing concern and even protection for his subordinates.

This tone of voice actually gave Gu Yucheng a long-lost sense of familiarity, as if it was what Secretary Meng had said to him when he was still alive. Thinking about how Secretary Meng had valued him and cared for him in the past, but in the end he had harmed others, so that now, although he was a member of the Fan family, he could not get the same care as the direct line of descent, Gu Yucheng felt a little sour in his nose, and he could not help but regret some of his past actions. But no matter what he thought in his heart, he would not show it in front of Feng Sizhe, "Yes, Secretary Feng, I will go back and sober up now."
