Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Haha, Sizhe, have some tea. This is my daughter Ding Dang, who has been admitted to Kyoto No. 1 Middle School. Haha, she is my pride." Seeing his daughter coming over, Ding Deren smiled and introduced her to Feng Sizhe.

"Oh, your daughter is very beautiful." Feng Sizhe looked up at Ding Dang and saw that the girl was indeed beautiful. She was just sixteen years old and had already grown up. She had the right curves and curvaceous features.

"Haha, Ding Dang, come and call Uncle Feng." Ding Deren was of course very happy to hear others praising his daughter's beauty, so he smiled and asked Ding Dang to call someone.

But there was no response after calling out once, calling out twice, but Feng Sizhe called out, "Student Ding, water is coming out."

"Ah!" Feng Sizhe's shout finally called Ding Dang back to life. It turned out that she had been thinking about something and forgot to pour tea for others. As a result, she poured half of the pot of tea into Feng Sizhe's cup, causing a lot of water to overflow on the coffee table.

Ding Dang was just thinking about her childhood with the boy who sat at the same table. She was really stunned for a moment. It was not until Feng Sizhe called her and called her classmate Ding that she came to her senses. However, when she heard people calling her classmate Ding, she couldn't help but smile. She was already sixteen years old, and it was not often that people called her classmate Ding. Generally, her family called her Ding Dang, and outsiders would call her Miss Ding or Xiao Ding. Feng Sizhe called her a classmate, which made her feel a little funny, and made her feel that Feng Sizhe was her classmate in elementary school.

In fact, the reason why Ding Dang was like this was because her deskmate in elementary school was her first love. At that time, she might have matured earlier, or her emotions developed earlier. In short, when her classmates were still confused about the word love, she already had a little bit of feelings, and she liked that deskmate who blushed a lot. Think about it, it was a long time ago. If she hadn't seen Feng Sizhe blushing today, I'm afraid she wouldn't have remembered it anymore.

"What? Look, where did you pour the water for the guests? Hurry up and find something to clean it up." Ding Deren was a little angry when he saw his daughter being so rude. He thought that his daughter had always been his pride. She had good grades since she was young and was praised every time she attended a parent-teacher meeting. Because his wife was often away from home due to work, he sometimes placed his love for his wife on his daughter. He was always very satisfied with her actions. It was because of his strict requirements that he did not allow her to make any mistakes. Now seeing his daughter's misbehavior, his face was a little bad.

Seeing that his father was a little angry, Ding Dang quickly stuck out his tongue, turned his back to his father, and made a face at Feng Sizhe, "I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, right? I'll go find something to wipe the water off now."

"What? Young Master Feng? Didn't I tell you to call him Uncle Feng? This kid has no respect for his elders." Ding Deren became even angrier when he heard how his daughter addressed Feng Sizhe.

"Come on, Dad. My brother always calls him Mr. Feng. If you ask me to call him Uncle Feng, then my brother will be a generation lower than me for no reason. This is not good." Ding Dang turned around and retorted to his father, then ran away with a smile.

Ding Deren smiled helplessly and shook his head at his daughter's behavior. He still doted on his daughter and couldn't bear to say anything to her. But think about it, although Feng Sizhe was twelve years older than her, they were of the same generation. Feng Sizhe called him uncle, and if he asked his daughter to call him uncle, wouldn't it be a bit confusing? In fact, it was already confusing. For example, Ding Deren believed that he was of the same generation as Zhao Mingyuan. It could be said that the generational system was messed up from his point of view. There was nothing he could do about it. The generational system that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Republic was messed up. It was better to call each other by their names.

"Haha, Sizhe, please forgive me for making you laugh. My daughter is like this. Her mother is not around all year round, and I spoiled her." Ding Deren shook his head and explained to Feng Sizhe.

"It's nothing, Uncle Ding. Young people should be more lively. If she is as conservative as a pedant at this age, then her life would be meaningless." Feng Sizhe expressed his opinion with a smile.

"Well, you young people are more insightful about this. Young people should behave like young people. Don't learn from us. We are so old that we can't even be naughty." Ding Deren also agreed with Feng Sizhe's idea. Indeed, when people reach his age, they are probably only conservative and rule-abiding.

"Oh, Dad, you have such thoughts. Why don't you tell us before? If you had told us, my brother and I wouldn't have to pretend to live in front of you every day. That would be too tiring." Ding Dang happened to come over with a towel. After hearing what his father said, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

When Ding Deren saw that his daughter had heard what he said, he shook his head repeatedly. He really had no way to deal with his daughter. "Okay, okay, don't you see there are guests here? Go inside and study."

Ding Dang originally wanted to observe Feng Sizhe carefully. For some reason, she felt that this father was like the deskmate she liked when she was a child. But after hearing what her father said, she had no choice but to pout and leave. In front of her father, she was still good at showing the qualities of a good girl.

Ding Dang finally left, and Ding Deren could have a good chat with Feng Sizhe now. "What's wrong, Sizhe? Are you worried about your work? Haha, I think you are very patient. You knew that your work was being studied by the higher-ups, but you waited for such a long time without asking me. Do you treat Uncle Ding as an outsider?"

"No, how could that be." Feng Sizhe waved his hands quickly, "I'm just afraid of troubling Uncle Ding."

Seeing Feng Sizhe eager to explain, Ding Deren laughed, "Okay, I get it. In fact, during our working hours, I've already seen that you're not a person who likes to ask for help. And since you came to my house today, I think you're really holding it in, so I'll tell you something."

According to regulations, Ding Deren was not allowed to disclose the organizational work of officials. However, he knew Feng Sizhe too well. He just didn't want to find others. Otherwise, he had many ways to know these situations. So instead of letting others tell him, it would be better to tell him himself. This way, at least it would be good. "Well, your situation is like this. Someone from the Organization Department of the Central Committee has come to investigate your work in the Foreign Bank Preparatory Bureau. Haha, I said a lot of good things about you. I said that you are young, energetic, have ideas, are willing to give, and are willing to work hard. You are really a rare young talent."

"Thank you Uncle Ding for speaking for me." Seeing Ding Deren working so hard to speak well of him, Feng Sizhe of course had to express his gratitude.

"Yes." Ding Deren nodded, indicating that he accepted the thanks. "But it is precisely because you performed so well that the chief is unwilling to let you go. Haha, you are in the economic field, and you know more about economics than an old man like me. The chief is also from the economic field, and he is very hardworking. So you can imagine how the chief will react when the Organization Department investigates your work situation."

"What kind of reaction?" Although being noticed by the chief is a good thing, Feng Sizhe knows that his current place is not in the Kyoto ministry, but he should go to the local area for training. In the central ministries, he, a deputy-department-level official, is really restricted and has less room to use his talents.

"Haha, how could the chief react? He asked me to call the officials from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China over, and then they took away your files and information, or in other words, withheld your files and information. Don't you understand what that means?" Ding Deren took a sip of tea and laughed.

"Ah?" Feng Sizhe really didn't expect Bao Jingguo to treat him like this and value him. It was obvious that he was being detained, and it was obvious that he was not going to let him go.

"Yes, no one expected this. Later, the official from the Organization Department had to go back first, as he didn't dare to ask the chief for anything. Not long after the incident, Comrade Miao Yunfeng from the Organization Department called the chief's office to discuss your matter with him. I don't know why the Miao family was so willing to help you. Deputy Minister Miao actually said that as long as the chief is willing, officials at the provincial and municipal levels can be transferred at will, as long as you are released. Haha." When he said this, Ding Deren laughed. It must be said that the Miao family was very worried about Feng Sizhe's affairs this time.

Hearing that Miao Zihan's father actually made such a promise and concession for him, Feng Sizhe was also moved. He really cared about him. If he went down this time, he would definitely work hard.

"With this call from Miao Yunfeng, I guess the chief will release you soon. In fact, the chief knows in his heart that keeping you in the Preparatory Bureau now is delaying your future, but he really loves talents and doesn't want to let you, his right-hand man who can help him share the work, leave. I hope you can understand the chief too." Ding Deren has worked with Bao Jingguo for so many years and knows his habits very well. He doesn't want to see what Feng Sizhe thinks of the chief.
