Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Hello, Mayor Feng." It was not until this moment that Jiang Chengsheng understood why the man called him comrade as soon as he entered his room. It turned out that the man was really his comrade and leader.

"Mayor Feng, please take a seat. Wei's mother, please go and cook some delicious dishes. Mayor Feng is coming to our house, and we must let him taste your cooking tonight." Although he didn't know whether Feng Sizhe would stay at his house for dinner, as a subordinate, he still had to show the proper etiquette.

"Haha, just a few people will do. I'm not too particular about food." Unexpectedly, Feng Sizhe didn't refuse. Instead, he smiled and agreed. In fact, for Feng Sizhe, he really came to Jiang's house to ask about the development zone. As for eating, he just happened to be there.

Feng Sizhe did not refuse, which made Jiang's mother very happy. Thinking that her husband's direct superior agreed to have dinner at her home, it meant that the relationship between the two could get closer, which would be good for her husband's future development. Thinking of this, she quickly agreed, and then pulled her daughter who was still confused and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Wei hadn't reacted until this moment. What was going on? How could a businessman who had invested in the company suddenly become a deputy mayor? This was too ridiculous. His father had been busy for most of his life, but he was still a township head. But he was already a deputy mayor at such a young age. Is this fair?

But no matter what Jiang Wei thinks, Feng Sizhe's position as deputy mayor will not change. Feng Sizhe is now chatting with Jiang Chengsheng about the Haitian Economic Development Zone. Now that Jiang Chengsheng knows Feng Sizhe's identity, he will of course explain everything about the development zone clearly. This is also a responsibility he should fulfill as a subordinate.

Until very late, even after dinner, Feng Sizhe chatted with Jiang Chengsheng for more than an hour. When he and Chen Guangming finally came down from downstairs, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

"Haha, I've gained a lot today." Feng Sizhe said with emotion as soon as he went out and got into Li Shuang's car.

"Yes, I didn't expect the development zone to be so miserable. The employees' salaries haven't been paid for half a year. So it means that they can't pay the salaries before the financial crisis. This shouldn't be the case. Doesn't the city have special funds for the development zone? What kind of situation is this?" Chen Guangming took the opportunity to raise the questions he heard from Jiang Chengsheng.

"Well, this question is worth studying. How about this? You are responsible for investigating this matter, but remember, it must be done in secret, and the scope of people who know it must be small. Do you understand?" Feng Sizhe certainly knew what was going on. It is said that the development zone was previously managed by Liu Wenhua, so as the mayor, it is impossible that he did not use the funds for the special fund. However, in the end, the wages of the development zone were still not paid. This can only mean that this special fund was misappropriated by someone, otherwise it would not be said that the wages could not be paid before the economic storm arrived.

"Okay, boss, let me handle this." Chen Guangming nodded. Since he was transferred from Qiu County by Feng Sizhe, it proved that he had certain abilities. As a secretary, his duty was to serve the boss well and solve all kinds of troubles for the boss, including those in work and life. Now it was a work issue, so of course he had to do it well.

"Well, let's go and take a look at the specific issues in person when we get to the development zone tomorrow." Feng Sizhe nodded. He was still very relieved to leave the matter to Chen Guangming. "Okay, Li Shuang will drive. We've been busy all day, and it's time to have a good rest."

The next morning, Feng Sizhe arrived at the Haitian Economic Development Zone. Today, the gate of the development zone was no longer as deserted as it was yesterday. There were security guards at the gate, the road inside was cleaned, and the big sign with the words "Haitian Economic Development Zone Management Committee of Haibei City" was also wiped clean. There were hundreds of people standing under the office building, waiting for Feng Sizhe.

The gatekeeper, Uncle Wang, now knew Feng Sizhe's identity. He didn't expect that the person who had chatted with him so cordially and offered him cigarettes yesterday was the new top leader of the development zone. He couldn't help but feel deeply moved. His intuition told him that with such a big leader, the development zone would really be saved.

In the large conference room of the development zone office building, Feng Sizhe stood on the podium and met with more than one hundred development zone employees who had arrived today.

There was only a standing microphone on the podium and nothing else. It was totally unlike previous meetings when the podium was filled with tables, chairs and the best drinks. Faced with such an audience, the development zone employees were whispering about what was going on.

Led by Fei Cai and Jiang Chengsheng, Feng Sizhe walked up to the podium amid applause, came to the opposite side of everyone, and stood in front of the microphone.

Standing on the huge podium, Feng Sizhe looked at the hundreds of development zone staff members below the stage, and had many thoughts in his mind. It can be said that it doesn't matter whether one does a good or bad job, the worst case scenario is that one will be promoted later, or transferred to another place, but it does affect the family life of these people below the stage. These people have put their hearts on the development zone, but because of an unknown financial storm, they have not even received their salaries. It is conceivable how these people live during this period of time without receiving their salaries. He just told Jiang Chengsheng that he hoped to meet with the development zone staff today when he left his house last night, and so many people came. How lovely they are, or they may be full of hope for him. Facing these hopeful people, he doesn't want them to return disappointed.

"Comrades, hello everyone, my name is Feng Sizhe, I am the new deputy mayor of Haibei City and also the new director of the Management Committee of Haitian Development Zone. I am very happy to see you all here today, but I think everyone must have a question, that is, why the tables on the rostrum are gone, where did they go, and why am I standing here alone, what do I want to do?" When the applause of the staff stopped, Feng Sizhe's powerful voice rang out in the meeting.

What Feng Sizhe asked was exactly what everyone was thinking. They had attended such conferences before. Every time there was a general meeting of all employees, the podium was filled with tables and chairs, and the chairs were also filled with people. But when had it ever been as empty as today? Was this a party? Everyone was confused about what Feng Sizhe was thinking.

"Comrades, let me tell you the answer. In fact, this arrangement today is my idea. I did this for only one reason. I want to say that when our Haitian Development Zone cannot turn losses into profits, when I cannot lead everyone to become rich, and when I cannot pay everyone's salary normally, then I and all the leaders of the Management Committee will have no face to sit on the podium. As long as the development zone has not started to make a profit, then in the future, all the leaders will stand on the stage and everyone will sit on the stage. This is my promise."

Time seemed to stand still. No one spoke for about five or six seconds, but then there was thunderous applause. This applause represented the voices of the employees and their support for Feng Sizhe's approach.

This approach was actually just something Feng Sizhe came up with when he returned to his new residence last night. He thought that since the development zone's leadership had changed, there would be a change, and how could the change be felt by the employees? So he came up with this idea. This is a scene that can be very stimulating to people's senses. I believe this scene will also make everyone understand that the development zone has changed its old appearance, which can give them a great psychological impact. And the facts have proved that this is definitely a good move. At least from this moment on, all the leaders and employees of the development zone know that there is a new leader in the development zone, and his way of doing things is completely different from that of others.

There were not many empty words in the meeting. Feng Sizhe just asked the staff at the end to make efforts and give ideas for the construction of the new development zone, which was to say dedication. Of course, Feng Sizhe also promised that he would pay everyone's salary in the shortest possible time, even if it was two months' salary at first, at least to solve the difficulties in front of everyone. It was New Year's Day and the Chinese New Year, and everyone couldn't be without money to buy rice and meat.

With this promise, Feng Sizhe went to his own office upstairs. Here he called Fei Cai and Jiang Chengsheng to listen to their work reports.

Fei Cai and Jiang Chengsheng each took a document and walked into Feng Sizhe's office to report the current situation of the economic development zone. Feng Sizhe sat there, writing with a pen and paper, nodding and frowning from time to time. As he got to know more and more, he realized the worse the current situation of the economic development zone was.

In the economic development zone of more than 20 square kilometers, there are more than 20 projects and more than 100 half-built or mostly-built buildings. However, there is only 1.3 yuan in the account of such a large development zone. In fact, it means that the account owes money. Let alone other things, the wages of these hundreds of people are a large number. Not to mention that the money for renting the land has disappeared. At that time, he had a contract with the developers, that is, the developers were responsible for renting the land and investing, and the development zone was responsible for daily management and maintenance. Now there is no money in the account, so where will the maintenance cost come from?
