Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"How outrageous." When Xu Tong just said this, Chang Ning suddenly slapped the table and stood up from his chair.

Chang Ning's sudden slamming of the table really scared Xu Tong. He couldn't understand why the other person suddenly got angry. In short, he was frightened by this slamming of the table. He stood there speechless and at a loss for what to do for a while.

"Comrade Xu Tong, I know the facts very well. Let's not talk about whether it is what you said. Just look at how you addressed your county party secretary just now. You called him by his name, even omitting the word comrade. Is this your awareness as a human being and the rules for being an official? I hope you can reflect on this matter. If you still can't, you can report to attend the next study class held by the municipal party committee. I think you really need to go back to school." Chang Ning stared at Xu Tong and got angry.

Seeing his old subordinate being accused like this, Wang Xianyi had nothing to say. He even wanted to teach Xu Tong a lesson. This man really had no vision. Couldn't he see that this was a double act between Chang Ning and Feng Sizhe? At this time, if you find fault with others, wouldn't that be like jumping into a fire pit? I really can't understand why this man is so stupid and how he could do such a low-level thing. "Yes, Comrade Xu Tong, why don't you apologize to your Secretary Feng immediately? Otherwise, you really have to be the first to sign up for the next study class held by the Municipal Party Committee."

Fearing that Xu Tong would say something unpleasant if he was dissatisfied, Wang Xianyi spoke first and suppressed Xu Tong with his voice.

Xu Tong might not have listened to other people, but when Wang Xianyi said this, he had to listen. "Yes, yes, I was excited just now and my words were a little inappropriate. Secretary Feng, please don't be angry with me, don't be angry with me."

Xu Tong was finally awakened by Wang Xianyi's scolding. Although there were still some things he hadn't figured out, at least he knew that the current situation was no longer in his favor. So based on his adaptable character, what was wrong with him apologizing?

Facing Xu Tong's apology, Feng Sizhe just nodded his head without even saying a word to the other party. He neither accepted the sincerity of the other party's apology nor expressed his rejection. He just stood up and invited Chang Ning and Wang Xianyi to sit in his office.

Chang Ning was of course happy to go, so Wang Xianyi couldn't say much, so he just smiled bitterly and followed Chang Ning's footsteps. Then the people who attended the meeting left one by one, until finally only Xu Yitong was left standing there, not knowing whether to leave or not.

In the office of the county party secretary, Wang Xianyi had already taken an opportunity to escape. Facing his departure, Chang Ning simply nodded, and Feng Sizhe just made an appropriate symbolic retention, and then let him leave. Looking at his departing back, the two smiled at each other.

"Sizhe, I say you are capable. Look at what happened just now. You didn't let some people get any advantage before I came." Although Chang Ning didn't know what happened in the conference room just now, he didn't see Wang Xianyi reveal any arrogance after he entered the room. He guessed that Feng Sizhe had not suffered any loss before this.

"Haha, Secretary Chang, you are joking. How can I let others accuse you of something that didn't happen?" Feng Sizhe laughed at first, and then told him everything that happened in the meeting room just now. Since someone came to support him, he had to let the other party know the whole story.

After listening carefully to Feng Sizhe's story, Chang Ning said with emotion, "Oh, Sizhe, I have to admire you. You are really amazing. You can actually gain more than half of the eleven-member county party committee standing committee. This has to be said that your personal ability is really outstanding. I think with the economic development, the prosperity of the motherland, and the rapid growth of major families, there must not be many people like you who can control the situation with a majority of votes wherever they go. I thought you were like this in Dahu County, and I didn't expect it to be the same in Qiu County. At first I thought you were lucky, but now it seems that it is definitely not the case. It's like this in one place, and it's like this in two places. This is a problem with your ability."

Chang Ning was telling the truth. It was already impressive for a powerful person to be able to control half of the Standing Committee. How could he be like Feng Sizhe who could control more than half? In this case, he didn't need to worry about the situation in Qiu County at all. Even if he didn't come to Qiu County today, it would be difficult for Wang Xianyi to take advantage here.

It is necessary to be modest in front of the leader. Feng Sizhe waved his hands and said, "Secretary Chang, you are too kind. To be honest, in my opinion, Xu Yi is the only one in Qiu County who has a different opinion of me. But today, it seems that this is not the case. There are actually people willing to associate with him. It seems that the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart. Today can be said to have taught me a lesson, which made me understand more clearly that the contact between people is not something you can exchange for sincerity with sincerity."

Thinking about Propaganda Minister Yang Yonghao and United Front Minister Bai Youshen, Feng Sizhe felt that they should be considered his own people, and he always thought that he had not treated them unfairly. But this time they suddenly got together with Xu Tong. If he did not have absolute control over Qiu County, he would be in a passive position this time.

"Well, what Sizhe said is right. There is an old saying that you can know a person's face but not his heart. I think you should not trust others too easily. I think what position a person can reach and what kind of achievements he can make depends on himself." Chang Ning agreed with this statement. People's hearts in officialdom are the most unpredictable. Maybe they are your friends today, but they will stab you in the back tomorrow. This is a very normal thing. After staying in officialdom for a long time, you will get used to it.

Seeing Chang Ning expressing his feelings here, Feng Sizhe thought that Chang Ning's current situation was not very good. Although he became the municipal party secretary as he wished, the number of people in Qiu Fugui's faction was still equal to his. He could not have the final say in everything in the municipal party committee. This was actually a sad performance for a municipal party secretary. Thinking that there should be news from Liu Zidao and Zhong Ping soon, it was time for him to remind Chang Ning to make preparations early. After coughing lightly, he said, "Secretary Chang, I think it is only a matter of time before you can control the situation in the municipal party committee with your ability. I personally think that you should take this opportunity to promote some capable people who can speak the same language as you. Since you are all doing revolutionary work, why not find some like-minded people? In this way, these people can work together with you to do things better."

"Yeah." Chang Ning didn't care. He just thought Feng Sizhe was just making general suggestions, so he just nodded symbolically.

Seeing that Chang Ning did not take his words seriously, Feng Sizhe had to go deeper and said, "Secretary Chang, I think if we want to solve the problems in Yongyang City, we must first solve the problems in Xinglong District. Otherwise, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are all on their territory, and many of your actions will be inconvenient."

Feng Sizhe suddenly mentioned Xinglong District, which made Chang Ning stunned. He didn't understand why the other party would say that. You know, the current secretary of Xinglong District is Liu Zidao, who hates wealth. If he only listens to him, it will be difficult to implement his policies there. "You, what do you mean by this?" Chang Ning was a little confused and was ready to find out.

"Haha, it's hard to say what you mean, but it's always a good idea to plan ahead. I think you still need to prepare candidates in advance, so that you can be prepared if something unexpected happens." Some words can only be said briefly even if everyone has a good relationship. Feng Sizhe believes that if this is said to this extent, Chang Ning should understand the meaning.

In view of the fact that Feng Sizhe's actions were not irrelevant after he met him, Chang Ning took his words to heart. He also had a premonition of something, but he still found it hard to believe in his heart, because he couldn't understand why he was less clear about the affairs of the Municipal Party Committee than a county party secretary. It seemed that he was really incompetent as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

After sending Chang Ning away happily, I learned from Secretary Chen Guangming that Deputy Secretary Wang Xianyi had already returned to the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee. It seemed that this person did not get any advantage here and was embarrassed to stay here. Well, with his departure, I can have some peace and quiet, and then I can think about the affairs of Qiu County. I thought that there was only one Xu Tong in Qiu County who sang against me and wanted to destroy the harmony that had just been achieved. Now it seems that this is not the case. Yang Yonghao and Bai Youshen have also become accomplices in this matter. It seems that if I don’t take out some punishment measures to punish them, they will really think that I am a kind-hearted person.

Chen Guangming's voice came from outside the door, saying that Executive Deputy County Mayor Tao Daotian wanted to see him for something. Feng Sizhe thought about it and decided that it was time to explain something to him. Otherwise, given Tao Daotian's relationship with these two people, it would be unreasonable for him to take action without saying hello. "Please!" Feng Sizhe shouted.

The door was pushed open, and Tao Daotian, who was already very old and about to retire, walked in with an embarrassed look on his face. "Secretary Feng, I..."
