Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Feng Sizhe was satisfied with Chen Guangming's approach, which was the main reason why he transferred him from Qiu County. Chen Guangming was very careful in his work and would often do all the homework he should do in advance. In this way, when you need something, he would definitely answer "no". With such a secretary, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After taking the information and looking at it carefully, Feng Sizhe noticed that the two people had one thing in common, that is, they were both related to local ethnic minorities. The former was directly a Zhuang, and the latter's mother was a Zhuang.

"Huh? These two are related to the Zhuang people." Feng Sizhe said with emotion. Under normal circumstances, it is not rare for a leader of a place to be a minority. After all, the number of ethnic minorities is relatively small. However, it is rare for a city like Haibei to have two Zhuang people as municipal party committee leaders.

"Yes, leader. These two people are both Zhuang people. I was also very surprised when I saw this place at first, but later I got used to it. Otherwise, how could Haibei be the hometown of ethnic minorities?" Seeing that Feng Sizhe was confused, Chen Guangming explained to him.

"Yeah." Feng Sizhe nodded. He said, how come the deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department came to Haibei City, and the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee did not give face? It seems that these two people have such backgrounds, so it is no wonder that they would do such a thing to ignore the leader. It seems that they don't have much confidence in their careers. Instead of doing the fearless flattery, it is better to do my own thing and be my true self. With a long sigh in his heart, Feng Sizhe has slowly realized how complicated the situation in Haibei City is. Some people can't give face to Minister Sun Zhengtao who is in charge of them, so what's the use of putting his face in front of them?

Haibei City is the starting port of the ancient "Maritime Silk Road" of the Republic. As early as the sixth year of Yuanding in the Western Han Dynasty (111 BC), Hepu County was established. After the Opium War, Beihai was opened as a trading port. Haibei City has developed transportation and is the only city in the western part of the Republic that has aviation, railways, highways and ports. Haibei City has a mild climate and beautiful environment. It is known as the "oxygen bar" of the Republic of China. It has scenic spots such as Haibei Silver Beach and Weizhou Island.

Walking on the streets of Haibei City, looking at the towering high buildings and wide streets everywhere, one can't help but sigh at the beautiful environment here, and Feng Sizhe really can't think of any reason why he wouldn't be rich in such a place? It is said that in such a place, the four seasons are like spring, and there is no idle pain season. Whether it is external or internal conditions, the economy of such a place should be developed. To put it bluntly, the only obstacle to development may be the people here. As long as the ideological work of the people is done, the economic progress here should be visible to the naked eye, and it should be different every day. Thinking that the development prospects here are still far-reaching, Feng Sizhe's heart can't help but surge with blood, maybe he can do something big here.

The Haibei Municipal Party Committee Building stands in the center of Chenghai District, the busiest area in Haibei. A nearly ten-story building stands here, and a huge national emblem is hung here. Five-star red flags flutter on both sides of the national emblem, showing its solemnity and seriousness.

The cars drove into the parking lot of the Municipal Party Committee Building one by one, and then a group of leaders got out of the cars with the "help" of their secretaries. This might be the privilege of a leader. It seemed that as a leader, his importance would not be shown if there was no secretary to open the door for him. Even Feng Sizhe was waiting for Chen Guangming to come over and help him open the door. It was not that his long period of official life had made him lazy, but he really did not want to be different from the beginning. He did not want to be that other person, and he did not want to become the target of public criticism over some trivial matters.

It was Sun Zhengtao who took the first step and led a group of people into the municipal party committee building. Then, in the conference room hall on the east side of the first floor, Sun Zhengtao announced in front of many Haibei Municipal Party Committee officials the written order for Feng Sizhe to take office as deputy mayor of Haibei City and be included in the standing committee.

Although everyone had prepared for this, some people still couldn't help but exclaim when they saw Feng Sizhe was so young, even like a young boy. Of course, some people looked down on him. It was hard to say whether it was jealousy or contempt, but in general, it was mostly contempt.

After reading the appointment letter, Sun Zhengtao entered the pre-arranged lounge accompanied by the municipal party secretary Xiang Kang. Then the other people left one after Sun Zhengtao, so that Feng Sizhe, who was sitting on the rostrum, felt a little embarrassed, because according to convention, he should have given a speech, also known as an inaugural statement, but why didn't these people give him a chance?

While Feng Sizhe was still in a daze, Xi Guoqi, commander of the Haibei Military Sub-district, came to his side and said, "Mayor Feng, what are you waiting for? The meeting is over. Do you have time? If so, why don't we find a place to have a drink?"

Feng Sizhe looked at the colonel in military uniform, smiled and nodded, "Okay, since it's Commander Xi who invites you, then Sizhe will respectfully obey."

"Haha, great! Let's go!" Seeing Feng Sizhe agreed immediately, Xi Guoqi patted his shoulder happily, and then the two of them walked out of the meeting room side by side.

As soon as Feng Sizhe arrived, he walked with Xi Guoqi, commander of the Haibei Military Sub-district. This made many people who saw this scene whisper to each other. It seemed that this young deputy mayor really had a military background. Otherwise, how could Commander Xi, who usually didn't like to get involved in politics, get together with him so quickly?

Feng Sizhe had no scruples. Since he dared to accept Xi Guoqi's invitation, it meant that he had been mentally prepared for this. The reason why he believed Xi Guoqi so quickly was because this person was a genuine member of the Zhao family. He was someone that his grandfather personally told him to be when he left Beijing. With his grandfather's words, Feng Sizhe had nothing to worry about.

After the two of them boarded Xi's national flag-carrying military vehicle, the commander of the military sub-district immediately asked Feng Sizhe, "How is it? Is General Zhao in good health?"

"Haha, thank you for your concern. My grandfather is in good health. Even now, there will be no problem for you to let him lead the troops to fight." Feng Sizhe joked with a smile.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. By the way, I heard a while ago that General Zhao was going to join the Military Commission. I don't know about this..." Being in a place like Haibei, far away from Kyoto City, he could only hear some peripheral news, and he would not know the real core content.

Feng Sizhe also intentionally wanted Xi Guoqi to get close to him as soon as possible, which was the first thing he had to do after arriving in Haibei City. It can be said that this is Feng Sizhe's advantage. Usually, no matter where he works, Feng Sizhe will easily find allies, because both his grandfather and his father-in-law have a strong influence in the military. Based on this, basically the local military will support him.

In order to make Xi Guoqi feel more at ease to cooperate with him, Feng Sizhe answered his question with a smile, "Well, Commander Xi is well-informed. I heard about this matter when I left Kyoto. My grandfather's joining the Military Commission has basically been decided. It will probably be at the Ninth National People's Congress in March next year."

This was equivalent to Feng Sizhe giving him a definite message, which also gave him a reassurance. Hearing Feng Sizhe's firm tone, the national flag captain heaved a sigh of relief. "Okay, okay, iron-blooded soldiers like General Zhao should be included in the Military Commission, so that our soldiers can stand up straight."

"Haha, thank you Commander Xi for the compliment. In fact, my grandfather often mentions you in front of me. He also said that if you have the opportunity to visit Beijing, remember to go and see him." Continuing to win over is also one of the methods that must be done.

"Oh, of course, of course. Haha, Mayor Feng can come to me if he has any problems in Haibei City in the future. I will do my best as long as I can do it." Facing the bait thrown by Feng Sizhe, Xi Guoqi also responded in the same way. This is probably what people often say, two good and one good.

As soon as he arrived in Haibei City, Feng Sizhe successfully won an ally, which was also planned before. Facing Xi Guoqi's enthusiastic look, Feng Sizhe knew that he still had a long way to go in Haibei City, but he was still confident. He firmly believed that as long as he sincerely developed the city, there would definitely be a second, third, and even more allies.

The place Xi Guoqi chose to invite Feng Sizhe to dinner was the largest hotel in Haibei City - Beiyuan Hotel.

The reason why he chose to do this was that Xi Guoqi wanted to tell everyone that he and Feng Sizhe had a very close relationship. Those who were trying to intimidate Feng Sizhe should just give up, otherwise it would be equivalent to being against him, Xi Guoqi.

Feng Sizhe, who had a certain understanding of Xi Guoqi's approach, was still very grateful to him. After all, he was a newcomer and there were many things he didn't understand, and others didn't understand him even more. Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that some people would want to test their own abilities. If there were many such people, he would not have to do his job, and his daily routine would be to deal with it. In comparison, Xi Guoqi's approach could indeed allow him to have a lot of peace of mind.
