Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Okay, then how much money do you want? I'll transfer it to your account right away. Oh, never mind. My company also deals in cars, and many of my clients are in this business. I think I'll just call the president of Volvo and ask him to arrange for the best car of the brand to be delivered to China, and you just need to pick it up at his dealership." Zhao Lirong had been working in the business world for several years, and with such success, naturally she had many friends. It was normal for her to know some prominent people.

"Okay, mom will arrange everything. My daughter-in-law and I will go pick up the car, haha." Feng Sizhe was very satisfied with his mother's arrangement and nodded in agreement. The gift from his mother must be very precious, and he believed that Shasha would be happy to accept it.

The news that Zhao Lirong was going to return to China to invest in building a bank quickly spread throughout the Zhao family courtyard.

Of course, what everyone paid more attention to was that Zhao Lirong was coming back, and as for what she did, no one cared too much. After all, as long as she came back, it was good, as she had been away from home for many years.

Zhao Mingyuan and He Jiayu were also very happy. It was a good thing that their eldest daughter was willing to come back to them again. It meant that their daughter's hatred towards them had decreased a lot. For the elderly, being able to reunite with their children and have a happy family was what they wanted most.

Seeing that his mother was about to come back, Feng Sizhe became even busier. During the Chinese New Year, he established the team of the Foreign Bank Preparatory Bureau and held a meeting to arrange everyone's respective tasks. At the same time, he also asked everyone to clean up the small courtyard temporarily allocated to the Preparatory Bureau. This is where Feng Sizhe will work every day in the future, so a good environment is a must. Fortunately, the funds allocated by the superiors are sufficient, which is more than enough to take care of the external environment of this small courtyard.

Time flies, and it was the 13th day of the first lunar month in 1996. Early in the morning, Feng Sizhe and his wife He Shasha happily left the courtyard by car. They received a call from Zhao Lirong, and learned that the special car sent by Volvo Head Office had arrived in Kyoto, and they were going to pick up the goods.

It's good to have connections. With Zhao Lirong's help, Volvo really showed the highest efficiency and completed the work that would take about a month or even longer in just a few days. Seeing that his mother would fly to Kyoto International Airport tomorrow, Feng Sizhe felt it necessary to bring the car out today so that his daughter-in-law could pick up her mother in the car sent by her mother. This would save face.

Accompanied by driver Li Shuang, guard Zhao Hu, Wang Fanghua, Wang Jiefang, and Cai Shuang, a retired female special police team guard who was sent by He Shengli to his daughter, the two cars went straight to the Volvo 4S store in Kyoto.

At that time, apart from government vehicles, buses and a limited number of taxis, there were not many private vehicles on the streets of Kyoto. Under such road conditions, the car smoothly arrived at the Volvo 4S store and stopped not far away. The reason for stopping was because there was a traffic jam ahead.

As I said before, there weren't many cars in that era, and even in Kyoto, there weren't many traffic jams, not to mention the Volvo 4S store, which was not located in the city center. Looking at the long queue of cars in front of him, Feng Sizhe frowned, then said to Li Shuang, who was driving in the front row, "Go and see what happened?"

Feng Sizhe thought that there must be a traffic accident that caused the traffic jam. However, the Kyoto traffic police were not very capable. Looking at the large number of cars lined up, the incident must have happened for a while. Why didn't anyone come to deal with it? How did they do their job?

Li Shuang ran out of the car and ran back again after a while, "Boss, the road ahead is not in good condition. There is a huge pothole that suddenly appeared on the left side of the road. The road surface is completely unpassable. I don't know the specific reason for it. And on the right side of the road, which is not wide to begin with, there are two cars parked that shouldn't be parked there. There are two cars in total, one is a Hongqi and the other is an Audi. Once these two cars are parked there, naturally, the cars on both ends of the road cannot pass."

Feng Sizhe was surprised that the traffic jam was caused by illegal parking. "Well, what's the brand of the Audi? Isn't there any traffic police to take care of it?"

"Yes, there are traffic police on the side, but they are persuading the cars coming from both ends of the road to go back. I also saw the license plate of the Audi, and the number is a little earlier, what do you think?" Li Shuang said with a hint of meaning. He knew that some things did not need to be explained so clearly to the boss, and he believed that people would understand as long as he explained it gently.

"Hmm? So that's how it is." Feng Sizhe nodded. It seemed that some leader's car had occupied the lane, so the traffic police here didn't dare to intervene. But ordinary leaders wouldn't park their cars here. If it was really a leader, I'm afraid that both sides of this road would be under martial law. Since the car was parked here, there was only one explanation, that is, the person in the car was not the leader, but probably a relative of the leader or something.

Feng Sizhe would not meddle in this situation. After all, the relationships in Kyoto are a bit complicated, and even he can't figure it out. It was just a coincidence today that the illegal car was parked in front of the Volvo 4S store, so he couldn't make a detour. If he and He Shasha were in good health, they could walk through it, but now He Shasha is pregnant. In such a complicated situation, what if someone accidentally bumped into her? Grandpa and grandma would be heartbroken, and even my mother who was going to come tomorrow couldn't explain it.

Seeing that more and more vehicles were gathering behind them, and now they had nowhere to retreat, Feng Sizhe said to He Shasha beside him, "Wife, you stay in the car. I'll go down to check the situation. It's not a good thing for us to be stuck here."

"Okay, Sizhe, be careful." He Shasha nodded sweetly. After this period of contact, she found that she could not leave this man. His scent, his charm, his care for her, and the sense of security and happiness he could bring her were all things she could not give up. She even hated him more than she hated her grandfather.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen with Chen Hu and the others following us." Feng Sizhe nodded, turned to Li Shuang and said, "Take good care of Shasha." After saying this, he opened the door and walked out, and Chen Hu and others in the car behind him also got out. Except for Cai Shuang who came to He Shasha to complete the protection mission, the other three were approaching Feng Sizhe from three different directions.

The further you go, the more you can see the number of vehicles stuck here. Just a rough glance shows that there are no less than 200 vehicles. Seeing so many different types of cars stuck here, Feng Sizhe felt guilty. I don’t know which leader’s relative this is. Don’t you think before doing anything? You just parked your car on the side of the road without thinking about how other cars will pass. Everyone has their own things to do. Don’t you know what kind of negative influence and consequences this will cause? Is this the privilege of the children of cadres?

On the way to the scene of the incident, all I heard were the drivers scolding. Some drivers were going to pick up people, but now it was obvious that they would be delayed; some drivers were talking to big bosses about business, but now it seemed that they would be delayed too, and some were actually taking patients to the hospital for treatment, but now it seemed that they would be delayed too. Hearing everyone scolding, what kind of person was this, how could he do such an immoral thing, so disregarding everyone's feelings, Feng Sizhe also shook his head, he knew that it was the New Year and everyone was being polite, otherwise they would have cursed and said something bad a long time ago.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the center of the trouble. Here Feng Sizhe also saw the two cars with government license plates. The license plates were indeed quite forward, and it might be the car of a retired leader. But no matter who it was, he had no right to block the road and prevent others from passing.

With a sense of righteousness in his heart, Feng Sizhe strode forward and pushed through the crowd to the traffic policeman standing in front of the Red Flag car, "Comrade, may I ask..."

"Go, go, go away. What are you asking? If you have any questions, go to the Traffic Police Headquarters Consultation Department." When the young traffic police saw that Feng Sizhe was only in his twenties, he did not take him seriously and pushed back when Feng Sizhe was about to say something.

This situation made Feng Sizhe very angry. He knew that this was because people looked down on him, but traffic police were also a kind of revolutionary work, and also another way to serve the people. So when facing people's questions, they should patiently answer them instead of such unreasonable answers. "Comrade, which squad are you from? What is your police number? What kind of service attitude do you have?"
