Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Oh, hahaha, then I thank Secretary Chen. Don't worry, I will remember your kindness and repay you in the future, hahaha." Hearing that it was a good thing and that he might be re-employed, Gu Yucheng was overjoyed. He immediately ended the so-called inspection and asked the driver to rush him to the county party committee compound.

When Gu Yucheng hurried to the county party committee compound, he did not see Feng Sizhe, but was greeted by Chen Guangming and Li Shuang. The two men greeted him into a dark room with stern faces, and then here the county discipline inspection commission personnel were already waiting in full battle array. When Gu Yucheng saw this situation, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground immediately. He knew that his life was over.

In Feng Sizhe's office, Fan Yuegang was sitting on the reception sofa, looking furious. "Secretary Feng, why did Comrade Lu Zhuo do this? We are all colleagues, comrades at the same level. What right does he have to arrest people? Is it because a few policemen were fooling around together that he has to arrest people? Isn't this making a fuss over nothing? Isn't this treating the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection as a joke?"

Fan Yuegang only found out about Wu Shiyou being arrested again when he heard the police officers in the county bureau report to him over the phone. He was furious when he heard about this. This Wu Shiyou was too troublesome. He had just started working for less than a day and he had already made trouble again. He thought that his matter at the Baide Gold Mine had not been resolved yet, and so had Wu Shiyou. Normally, he should have cancelled the private account between him and the mine after he was reinstated, but Wu Shiyou insisted that he would give it to him tonight. Thinking that one day was not a big deal, Fan Yuegang was not in a hurry, but who would have thought that something would happen during this period of time, so he could only come to Feng Sizhe to ask for an explanation, hoping to rescue Wu Shiyou.

Feng Sizhe sat upright in the position of the county party secretary, looking at his deputy, seeing his angry expression, and said with a smile, "Old Fan, don't be too angry. I think Secretary Lu must have his reasons for doing this, right? So, why don't you wait for a while, and then wait for Secretary Lu to come back and let him explain it to you in person?"

"Then may I ask where is Lu Zhuo? Did he know I was coming and find a place to hide? Humph, let me tell you, there is no use hiding in this kind of situation. The document from the provincial department only came down not long ago, and he arrested Comrade Wu Shiyou again. This is obviously disrespectful to his superiors. If he can't give me a good explanation for this matter, I reserve the right to appeal. I don't believe that I have no place to reason." Fan Yuegang looked very angry. Indeed, he was very angry in his heart. He was angry at Wu Shiyou's trouble-making habit, and also angry at Lu Zhuo for being too strong and actually doing such a thing.

Feng Sizhe kept smiling. He was now very comfortable in his position as the county party secretary. He knew when to maintain a certain attitude. Sometimes getting angry didn't solve the problem. Only when you are calm can you come up with a better solution. So he usually didn't get angry. He thought that Fan Yuegang was also the county magistrate of Qiu County. Before things became clear, he had to do what he should do. So he wanted to comfort him. But before he could say anything, the phone on his desk rang.

He reached out and picked up the phone, "Hello, I'm Feng Sizhe."

"Secretary Feng, I'm Zhong Ping from the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

"Oh, it's Director Zhong, what's up? Is there anything?" When Feng Sizhe heard that the call was from Zhong Ping, he looked up at Fan Yuegang across the table. Sure enough, his expression was much calmer now, and he even smiled. It seemed that Zhong Ping was the reinforcement Fan Yuegang had sent.

This was indeed the case. After Fan Yuegang learned that Wu Shiyou had been arrested again, he immediately called Zhong Ping. He was afraid that his efforts were not enough, so he thought of finding an outside aid to help him. But who could blame Zhong Ping for having already accepted the gift that Wu Shiyou had asked someone to send to him?

Zhong Ping was also surprised after receiving Fan Yuegang's call. He was secretly happy to hear that Feng Sizhe and Lu Zhuo did not stop Wu Shiyou from resuming work. He thought that these two people were sensible and knew that they were no match for the documents sent by the provincial department. But who knew that the good times would not last long. Wu Shiyou was arrested again after such a short time. What was Qiu County doing? Was it really so bold as to ignore the opinions of the provincial department?

It can be said that Zhong Ping made this call with a hint of resentment, and the call was made with an attitude of calling for accusation.

"Don't you know what I want to say? Let me ask you, why did you arrest Comrade Wu Shiyou again? Let me tell you, the matter of Comrade Wu Shiyou's reinstatement was unanimously approved by the Standing Committee of our Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the Provincial Department also issued a document. Don't you know or haven't seen it? Do you, Qiu County, really not take the Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Department seriously? Are you really an independent kingdom as others say? Comrade Feng Sizhe, you'd better give me an explanation, otherwise I will not let it go." Zhong Ping was so angry that he yelled into the phone.

Feng Sizhe originally thought that he could just get by on the surface and deal with Zhong Ping perfunctorily. When Wu Shiyou's case was settled, he would not be so aggressive. But what he did not expect was that the other party actually said this about him, saying that Qiu County was an independent kingdom. This was unacceptable. If this word got to the higher-ups, it would be a serious matter. Feng Sizhe was not interested in this. He would not be satisfied with the position of a county party secretary, and he would not think of taking any place for himself. Naturally, he would not have such a mentality. Now that he saw others talking about him like this, how could he not be angry? The anger in his heart was immediately ignited. He thought that since he came to Yongyang, he was first made difficult by this person in Dahu County, and then he came to Qiu County and the other party still had no intention of letting him go. It seemed that this kind of person could not let him feel at ease. He regarded his tolerance and concession as weakness and incompetence. This kind of person must be taught a lesson and let him learn more, otherwise he didn't know what would happen in the future.

With this in mind, Feng Sizhe spoke in a much tougher tone, "Deputy Director Zhong, I don't know what you are talking about, and I don't know where you heard these words from, but I want to say that Qiu County belongs to the people and the country, not to a certain person. I hope you can apologize to me for this matter, otherwise, I will still reserve the right to appeal against you."

He had originally intended to bring charges against the other party, but he had never expected that the other party would now charge him with charges. How could this be tolerated? Zhong Ping was confident that he had Secretary Yuan to back him up, and he was no longer afraid of Feng Sizhe. For this reason, he mustered up the courage to talk to Feng Sizhe on the phone, "Comrade Feng Sizhe, don't change the direction of the problem. I asked you about the problem of Comrade Wu Shiyou. What are you going to do? How are you going to explain this matter to the provincial department and the municipal bureau? I tell you, if this matter is not handled well, don't blame me for causing trouble for you later."

"It's up to you. If you think you have the ability, or the big tree you rely on has the ability, then you might as well give it a try. I also want to tell you, Deputy Director Zhong, that I, Feng Sizhe, always do things for the public good, and everything I do can withstand the inspection and investigation of the organization. If you really think there is something wrong with me, you can use all the means at your disposal. But on the contrary, when you can't find any problem with me, I will thoroughly investigate your problem. Well, I'm still very busy here, so I won't waste my words with you."

Feng Sizhe was really angry. Being threatened like this, no one would be in a good mood. After saying this, he hung up the phone and looked at Fan Yuegang who was sitting across from him in shock. "County Magistrate Fan, do you think my answer is right?"

Fan Yuegang had never expected that Feng Sizhe had a smiling face just now, but in a blink of an eye, he had a falling out with Zhong Ping on the phone. This man's temper was really unfathomable. For a moment, he actually felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have asked Zhong Lai to pressure Feng Sizhe. After all, the executive deputy director of a municipal public security bureau had no jurisdiction over a county party secretary. Wasn't it a bit like shooting himself in the foot by doing this? Wasn't it a bit too much?

"County Magistrate Fan, I'm asking you a question. Do you think it's appropriate for you to answer this way?" Feng Sizhe looked at Fan Yuegang and asked again seriously.

"This...it's really hard for me to judge, but I think since Secretary Feng said that, you must have your reasons. You have your reasons." Fan Yuegang really couldn't say much at this moment. Anyway, things had come to this point, and he couldn't control what would happen between the two of them. What he was worried about now was Wu Shiyou's problem, or whether Wu Shiyou could be released and then get what he wanted back quickly.

Fan Yuegang's irrelevant answers made Feng Sizhe realize that he was absent-minded. He thought to himself that Lu Zhuo was on his way to search Wu Shiyou's house and would be back soon. At that time, Lu Zhuo would just explain to this person. He really didn't want to say anything more to him.
