Rebirth of the Rising Sun

The answer is obviously no. Let's not worry about whether Wang Xianyi is right or not. If Feng Sizhe refutes the leader in public, it will give people the impression that he is too arrogant, proud and unmanly. Even if the leader is wrong, as a subordinate, you can only remind him when no one is around. You must not do anything unrighteous in such a public place. Otherwise, where is the authority of the leader? If other leaders know about it, who will like you? Feng Sizhe is so smart that he will certainly not do such a thing of being abandoned for standing out. He can even keep a smile on his face at this time, as if what Wang Xianyi said just now has nothing to do with him. He is indifferent.

The meeting finally ended. According to official practice, since Wang Xianyi and Wu Fuliang, as leaders of the municipal party committee, came to Qiu County, the Qiu County Party Committee had to arrange lunch for them to show their hospitality.

Luo Bing, the new director of the county party committee office, had already made all the preparations and was just waiting for the meeting to end before she started to make arrangements. She also invited all the participants to have dinner at the county party committee guesthouse, where the food and wine had already been prepared and they could start eating as soon as everyone took their seats.

Wu Fuliang's secretary took the phone and walked to him. He answered the phone with a serious face, said a few words and hung up. Then he walked to Wang Xianyi and whispered something. Wang Xianyi nodded and then came to Feng Sizhe's side. "Secretary Feng, I'm really sorry. There is something at the Municipal Party Committee that I need to go back to deal with. I think I won't have lunch here today. As you know, Qiu County is not far from the Municipal Party Committee. It only takes an hour to get there. I have to rush back to deal with things."

"Oh, what's so urgent? Why don't you wait until you finish your meal, Minister Wu? You see, everything has been arranged." Feng Sizhe was very surprised to hear that Wu Fuliang was going back to deal with something. Logically, there shouldn't be anything so urgent waiting for him to go back to deal with. Even if something happened, even if he didn't know about it, Deputy Secretary Wang Xianyi should still go back.

"Hey, it's nothing big. It's just that I have to go back for this matter, so I'll leave first. I hope Secretary Feng can understand." Wu Fuliang looked at Feng Sizhe anxiously.

"Well, if Minister Wu really has something to do, then please go ahead. But next time you have time, you must come over so that I can show my hospitality." Feng Sizhe saw that Wu Fuliang really looked like he was about to leave, and thought that it was not a good idea to force the guest to stay, so he nodded in agreement.

Wu Fuliang left as soon as he said he would, and soon left with his secretary and entourage. Seeing him leave like this, Chen Guangming walked to Feng Sizhe's side and said, "Boss, what urgent matter did Minister Wu have that made him leave without even having a meal?"

"Haha, he doesn't have any urgent business. I'm afraid he left for another reason?" Feng Sizhe looked as if he saw through the other party's thoughts.

"Another reason? What reason?" Chen Guangming asked puzzledly.

"Haha, you'll understand this soon." Feng Sizhe didn't intend to explain everything, but turned around and went straight to the dining hall.

The dining hall of the guesthouse was already crowded with dozens of large tables. The private rooms that were originally separated by screens had now disappeared. This was Feng Sizhe's idea. Since everyone was together, there should be no distinction between each other, and no distinction between leaders and non-leaders. Since everyone was in the same hall, it would be much more convenient to see who would do what, and everyone could see.

Feng Sizhe came to the table in the middle of the hall and sat down. All those seated there were members of the county party committee standing committee and Wang Xianyi, deputy secretary of the Yongyang municipal party committee.

"Haha, Minister Wu has something to deal with in the city, so we won't wait for him. Come on, if everyone is here, please sit down and have dinner." Wang Xianyi looked like a landlord. After watching Feng Sizhe sit down, he began to speak.

Wang Xianyi was the most senior person here, so it was reasonable for him to express his opinion first, and no one had any objections. This was a normal thing, but it was changed by Xu Tong's next words. "Yes, with Secretary Wang here, it doesn't matter whether Minister Wu is here or not. Come, let's toast to Secretary Wang together and thank him for taking time out of his busy schedule to come to our Qiu County to guide our work."

Xu Tong's original intention was to flatter, which was understandable. But even if it was flattery, there was a time limit. For example, it was inappropriate to say such things at this time. Let's not talk about whether what he said was right or not, just to say that he was not a leader in Qiu County. Under such circumstances, how could he have a say? There were the county party secretary Feng Sizhe and the county magistrate Ma Jun above him, and neither of them interrupted. He rushed to say all these words, so how could others not have any opinions?

Just when everyone turned their eyes to Xu Tong, Wang Xianyi looked as if he didn't care. "Well, since the comrades from Qiu County are so hospitable, I will drink the first glass of wine. Haha, come on, let's drink together." As he said this, Wang Xianyi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Generally, there is a rule for subordinates to toast their superiors. If the leader doesn't buy your toast, then you won't drink it at all. If he does, then you just take a sip, which is pretty good. Wang Xianyi drank it all in one gulp, which was really giving face to Xu Tong.

Everyone could see this, so Xu Tong was naturally delighted when he saw Wang Xianyi drink the wine in the glass as soon as he opened his mouth. "Hey, Secretary Wang has a good alcohol tolerance, a good alcohol tolerance, hahaha."

The first glass of wine on the table was served by Xu Tongjing, and Secretary Wang drank it in one gulp. Everyone in the restaurant saw this scene clearly. As for the cadres at other tables, they would not pick up their chopsticks unless the leader ordered them to start eating. Otherwise, if the leader was talking, you would eat a lot here. If the leader saw you and remembered you, he would give you a hard time. Then you would not be able to do anything. Everyone understood this, so no one picked up their chopsticks.

Just when no one had started eating and the hall was very quiet, something happened at the main table. The cadres sitting below could not help but think about it. They thought that Wang Xianyi really gave face to Xu Tong. It seemed that Xu Tong was not an ordinary person. He must have a bright future to be valued by the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in charge of personnel. Maybe following such a cadre would make his future smoother.

The people below all have their own ulterior motives, and this is exactly the effect that Wang Xianyi wants. He wants to let everyone know through this dinner how much he cares about Xu Tong and how much he supports Xu Tong, so that it will play a positive and powerful role in Xu Tong's work in Qiu County, then his trip this time will not be in vain.

How could the other county party committee standing committee members sitting in the main seat not see through this truth? It is normal for a leader to like a subordinate, but there is no need for you to be so blatant. With such clear support, what will the head of Qiu County, the county party secretary and the county magistrate do now? Aren't you indirectly giving them a cold shoulder?

Thinking that Feng Sizhe had solved the Fan system's problems with lightning speed and returned a new situation to Qiu County, what would this capable young man do when faced with such a thing happening in front of him? Many people were waiting to see what Feng Sizhe would do.

Feng Sizhe sat there without saying anything or doing anything, but he felt everyone's eyes on him. He guessed that everyone was focusing on him to see what he would do next. What should he do at this moment? There was only one answer, which was to do nothing.

Feng Sizhe acted as if nothing had happened, as if what had just happened had not happened. He still sat there upright, smiling, not saying much.

The more indifferent Feng Sizhe acted, the more speculations others had, because everyone who knew him knew that this was a young man who would not suffer any loss, and he would definitely pay back for what had just happened, and as for how he would pay back, he believed there would be a follow-up.

Compared to Wang Xianyi and Xu Tong, they did not think too much when they saw Feng Sizhe remained motionless and silent. The reason was that all they knew about Feng Sizhe was his age. On the surface, they had no idea about his style of doing things. In their opinion, this person must be very confused and stupid, not knowing what to do, which was why he remained indifferent.

"Haha, come on, everyone, raise your glasses. I hope that Qiu County will become even better in your hands in the future." Wang Xianyi saw that many people were silent, and thought that his authority was indeed strong enough. He had shocked these people with just a small try. It seemed that the cadres in the county were still country bumpkins and could not be compared with those who worked in the provincial capital.

"Come on, everyone raise your glasses. Let's toast to Secretary Wang." The new county magistrate Ma Jun is really knowledgeable as he follows Guan Changxiao. At this moment, the scene seems a bit cold. Wang Xianyi and Xu Tong are being aggressive, which makes him feel uncomfortable, but he can't say anything. You know, he is no longer the secretary of the provincial party committee's organization minister, but a county magistrate. At this time, he can't say anything like before, relying on the support of a big tree.
