Rebirth of the Rising Sun
Chapter 684 Heading to the Provincial Capital
"Mayor, what happened? I heard that things have changed." Feng Sizhe knew that Chang Ning was anxious, so he didn't say any more nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Hey, I just heard from my old leader. You know, the one who recommended me to Gaoyang as the mayor was an old leader I used to follow. He is old and has been retired for many years. He doesn't care about general political affairs. If he didn't think highly of me and think I am a talent, he wouldn't have recommended me as the mayor of Yongyang. He may have done his best to let me become the mayor. However, four years have passed. When I was about to be promoted from mayor to secretary of the municipal party committee, he still stood up and wanted to cheer for me. But not long ago, I received a call from him, saying that the provincial party committee had different opinions on my appointment as secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee. This matter is very difficult, and the old leader's face is not sold there. I thought of you in a hurry, thinking that you still have a good relationship with several leaders of the provincial party committee. Thinking that maybe you can come forward to talk about this matter, I asked Secretary Chi to inform you, and I hope this matter will not embarrass you."
How to put it, asking a mayor to ask a county party secretary to speak for him was somewhat difficult for Chang Ning to accept, but he really had no other choice now, otherwise he would not have done this.
Feng Sizhe didn't think too much about it. He knew that Chang Ning could come to Yongyang to serve as the mayor because of the recommendation of his old leader. Now the old leader has retired for many years and has limited energy. He can't help him. Now he has nowhere to go, so he thought of himself. Besides, he took the initiative to agree to it, so it's not abrupt for him to say so. Moreover, in a sense, he is helping Chang Ning now, which is equivalent to helping himself. Today he borrowed his strength, who knows when he can borrow the strength of others again?
"Okay, mayor, stop saying those polite words. I've already said I would help you with this matter. As for whether I can help, I can't say, but I will always try. How about this, you do a good job of working with Secretary Cai and do everything you can to get him to recommend you to take over his job. As for the provincial side, leave it to me. I'll drive to the province soon and I think I'll be able to make it in time for dinner in the evening. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. The longer you delay, the more variables there will be." Since Feng Sizhe had decided to help Chang Ning, he would naturally go all out, so he decided to rush to the province now.
Hearing that Feng Sizhe was leaving now, Chang Ning was very excited. "Okay, I will definitely convince Secretary Cai. I think this will work. After all, after he leaves, there are still some people who follow him who need my care. But is it a bit too hasty to go to the province now? Do I need to prepare some things? It's not good to go empty-handed."
Although Chang Ning is an honest official, it does not mean that he does not know some ways of being an official. Although he did not necessarily run for office this time, he was at least asking for help. This basic etiquette should be followed.
"Haha, the mayor doesn't need to worry about this. It's just a gift. I will call my friends in Kyoto and ask them to prepare it for me. I think the things they send will be better than those produced in our small place, right? As for you, just stay at home and wait for news." Feng Sizhe thought that it was really difficult to give ordinary things as gifts to the provincial leaders. Instead of doing this, it would be better to ask Young Master Duan to help prepare some rare things. He thought that he had been in Zhongzhou Province for more than four years, but he had not yet met some provincial leaders who took care of him. This time, he would take the opportunity to move around. No matter where he would be an official in the future, it would always be a good thing to make more friends.
Feng Sizhe was a man who was quick and efficient in his work. After leaving the city government building, he asked Li Shuang to drive straight to the provincial capital. At the same time, he also called Duan Shao in Kyoto and asked him to prepare some good things for him and have someone deliver them to Zhongzhou as soon as possible.
Normally, Feng Sizhe seldom troubled Duan Yunpeng for things, so it was very helpful when he occasionally asked. Duan Yunpeng immediately agreed to prepare the things today and deliver them to Zhongzhou Province tomorrow.
With this promise, Feng Sizhe felt relieved. He took out his mobile phone and contacted Lu Zhuo, telling him that he was going to the provincial capital to do some business. He also asked him to call his cousin, saying that he would have to meet the secretary-general, Lu Xianwen, when he went to the provincial party committee this time.
Of course, Lu Zhuo had no reason to refuse Feng Sizhe's request, and he nodded and agreed immediately, saying that he would do some work on his cousin's end, and this time he would definitely let his cousin fulfill his duty as a good host.
After hanging up the phone with Lu Zhuo, Feng Sizhe made several calls in succession. He contacted all his connections in Zhongzhou Province first, saying that he was going to the province to do some work and hoped that everyone would give a heads up first so that his sudden appearance would not seem too abrupt.
After doing all this, Feng Sizhe sat in the back seat of the car and began to rest his mind. This was an excellent opportunity to exercise his social skills, and it was also an important meeting related to Chang Ning's future. He dared not be careless at all. He had to prepare in advance for what to say to whom. The most important thing was that if he could help Chang Ning this time, it would be like finding the most reliable partner for himself. This was the first political ally he found with his own ability, and he valued it very much in his heart.
Li Shuang drove the car very steadily, and Feng Sizhe fell asleep in the car unknowingly. It was not until the sky outside the car window became dark that Li Shuang stopped the car on the side of the road and said to him softly, "Boss, we have arrived at the provincial capital, Zhuangcheng."
"Oh, we're here." Feng Sizhe opened his sleepy eyes, rubbed them with his hands, and looked out the window. Sure enough, the lights outside were on, a prosperous scene. This scene was not something that the small county of Qiu County or the prefecture-level city of Yongyang could have.
"Good that we're here, good that we're here, don't worry, I'll call Minister Guan right away. Li Shuang, please stop the car and find a place where you can make a public phone call." At that time, mobile phones did not have the so-called roaming function. This function was not introduced until the second half of 1995. In other words, the mobile phones that Feng Sizhe carried at that time became decorations for the deaf.
Li Shuang drove quickly and found a small shop on the side of the road. This shop had a service for making calls within the city. Feng Sizhe walked over and dialed the number of Guan Changxiao, the Organization Minister of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee. Feng Sizhe thought that he should first find the Organization Minister to inquire about the situation regarding personnel transfers. Moreover, when he talked to Miao Zihan on the phone before, she had told him that if he had any problems, he could just go to Minister Guan, and she would give him a heads-up on the relevant matters. With this premise, if he did not go to visit, he would inevitably be troubled by others.
The call was made to Guan Changxiao's office phone. After ringing a few times, it was picked up. However, the person who answered the phone was not Guan Changxiao himself, but his secretary, Ma Jun, who had been to Li Shuang's wedding in Dahu County.
Feng Sizhe also knew Ma Jun. Hearing that it was him who answered the phone, he said politely, "Hello, Secretary Ma, I am Feng Sizhe from Qiu County."
"Haha, Secretary Feng, you don't have to be so polite. I know you. I'm waiting for your call in the office now. This is also arranged by Minister Guan. He knows you may come here today, but he has a meeting that will last until very late, so he kept me here and asked me to wait to receive you." Ma Jun acted as if to say, "I know everything, you don't have to say anything more."
"So Secretary Ma already knows everything. Thank you so much for your help." Feng Sizhe didn't know what to say when he heard that everyone had already arranged everything and asked the secretary to wait for him.
"What's the trouble? We are family. Minister Guan attaches great importance to your coming. Let me put it this way. I have already booked a room at Yuhe Hotel. The room number is 288. We can just meet there. I will receive you tonight." Ma Jun politely told Feng Sizhe the meeting place on the phone.
As the saying goes, the guest should follow the host's wishes. Feng Sizhe had just arrived in the provincial capital and was asking for help, so it was natural that he had no objection to the other party's arrangement. Besides, the other party had even booked a private room in the hotel, so there was no reason not to go. "Okay, then I'll wait for Secretary Ma at the Yuhe Hotel."
"Haha, that's not the case. Yuhe Hotel is not far from the Provincial Party Committee. I'll wait for you there." Ma Jun laughed and hung up the phone.
Feng Sizhe knew the meeting place, so he urged Li Shuang to drive quickly and head straight to Yuhe Hotel.
Yuhe Hotel is one of the famous hotels in Zhongzhou Province. It is more than ten stories high and prosperous inside. It is often visited by businessmen and wealthy people. Guan Changxiao arranged Feng Sizhe here first this time for this reason. Because Feng Sizhe's visit to him was not something worth boasting about, so in order not to attract other people's attention, he was not arranged to stay in the Provincial Party Committee Hotel, but in Yuhe Hotel, because there are all kinds of people here, and it should not attract other people's attention.
Feng Sizhe didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, since the other party arranged this place, it should be absolutely safe. So after he entered the lobby of Yuhe Hotel, he didn't walk with his head down, hiding his head and tail, but walked with his head held high like a normal person. However, he never expected that because he didn't hide his body, he was discovered by someone. The person who discovered him was Yu Qiang, who lived in the provincial capital and whose father was the propaganda minister of the provincial party committee.
