Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Hearing Du Shengzheng's clear support for him, Feng Sizhe was of course very moved and excited. "Thank you for your support, Governor Du. Don't worry, I will work hard and achieve great results in my job."

"Okay, very good, hehe." Du Shengzheng nodded with a smile.

He walked out of Du Shengzheng's office with a happy face, and saw Ding Qiang, the director of Shenzhou Tangsheng in the northwest region, waiting for him in the corridor. When Ding Qiang saw Feng Sizhe coming out, he also hurried over and said, "Hey, Mr. Feng, how are you, it seems like everything is going well for you?"

"That's okay. It's up to you next." Feng Sizhe nodded and looked at Ding Qiang.

"No problem. Governor Qi and I have already made an appointment. All you have to do next is follow me." Ding Zhongqiang winked mischievously, indicating that these were just small matters and that he had already done what Feng Sizhe had asked him to do.

It turned out that Feng Sizhe also wanted to consult with Qi Qinghua, the governor of Guangxi Province, regarding the personnel changes in Haibei City. However, the two of them had never had much work contact, and Feng Sizhe was only a deputy mayor. He was afraid that he would not be able to meet the governor even if he applied. Then he remembered that Ding Qiang had been well-liked by Governor Qi since he came to Haibei, so he came up with the idea of ​​asking him to help introduce him.

Ding Qiang naturally accepted Feng Sizhe's request with pleasure. He patted his chest and said that the matter would be left to him. Then the two met in the provincial government.

The meeting with Governor Qi Qinghua was generally smooth, and Ding Qiang indeed played a very good role in it. Seeing that Qi Qinghua was about to be transferred from Guangxi Province, he needed to establish good relations with all parties before leaving. In addition, Feng Sizhe's proposal was indeed good. The only wrong thing was that he was only a deputy mayor who was a member of the municipal standing committee and did not manage the cadres. If he was in charge of the cadres, then everything he said would be reasonable and logical.

After coming out of the governor's office, Feng Sizhe rejected Ding Qiang's request to treat him to a banquet and returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying. At this time, what he needed to prepare for was the dinner with Minister Yao Dejiang tonight. This was a big thing that he had to do since he came to the province and he could not be careless at all. In order to increase the certainty and possibility of things, he made a phone call in advance. He believed that with this help, big things could be accomplished tonight.

That evening, in the VIP box of Guangyuan Hotel, the largest and most famous hotel in Guangxi Province, Feng Sizhe finally waited for the commander of the provincial military region, Deng Tiejun. Accompanying Deng Tiejun was the person he wanted to meet, Yao Dejiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization.

When Yao Dejiang looked up and saw that it was Feng Sizhe who was waiting for him, he was obviously startled. Then he looked at Deng Tiejun and said, "Old Deng, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner tonight? It seems that there is such an ambush."

"Haha, Old Yao, Sizhe is one of ours. Even if he invites you, you should give him face. It's just that I happened to meet him, so I took the initiative to take on this task. What, you're not unhappy, are you?" Looking at Yao Dejiang, Deng Tiejun said with a laugh.

Yao Dejiang would certainly not be unhappy. Even if he was a little unhappy, he would not say it out loud. But to be honest, he really didn't want to meet Feng Sizhe. There was indeed a reason for this.

Logically speaking, Feng Sizhe was someone the Miao family had greeted, so it was natural for him to take care of him. However, due to the situation in Haibei City, he really didn't want to see Feng Sizhe, because according to common sense, with the mayor and the executive vice mayor of Haibei City both placed under double supervision, the person who would take over the mayor's post should be the executive vice mayor. However, Feng Sizhe had only been in Haibei City for too short a time, so the appointment was difficult to approve. In such a situation, he was afraid that Feng Sizhe would come to him to ask for an official position, so he didn't want to see him. If Feng Sizhe really asked him to invite him to dinner in the evening, he would really refuse. However, now that he had met Feng Sizhe, of course it was not easy for him to refuse.

Feng Sizhe also understood Yao Dejiang. Because of this, he considered the other party's thoughts and asked Commander Deng to invite him out of retirement instead of going there himself.

In the box, Yao Dejiang sat at the head seat, Deng Tiejun sat below him as a guest, and Feng Sizhe sat at the bottom like a waiter, responsible for pouring wine for the two provincial party leaders.

"Okay, Sizhe, there are no outsiders here. After all, you are a deputy mayor. I think you should not do this kind of serving work. Lao Yao and I are not without hands. We can pour our own wine. If you have anything on your mind, just tell us. We are all family. If you need our help, we will do our best." Deng Tiejun spoke quickly and made it clear that the dinner tonight would not be resolved, but the main point was to settle the matter.

Originally, Feng Sizhe wanted to have a couple of drinks with the two leaders to ease the atmosphere, but now it seems that this is not necessary at all, so he smiled and looked at Yao Dejiang.

As the protagonist, Yao Dejiang saw Feng Sizhe looking at him and quickly waved his hand, "Okay, don't look at me either. Just tell me what's the matter. But I'll be honest. I'll help you with things I can do, but don't embarrass me with things I can't do, or don't blame me for humiliating you."

Yao Dejiang was afraid that Feng Sizhe would mention the mayorship, so he blocked the conversation in advance. Feng Sizhe, who was mentally prepared, laughed and said, "Minister Yao, don't worry. I came to see you this time just to see you and report to you about the current situation in Haibei City. I definitely don't mean to ask for an official position. I have no intention of being the mayor of Haibei."

In order to make the atmosphere of the subsequent talks between the two parties more harmonious, Feng Sizhe made his position clear at the beginning, saying that he absolutely had no intention of becoming mayor, which could be considered as comforting the other party.

As expected, after Feng Sizhe finished speaking, Yao Dejiang's face relaxed a lot. Hearing that Feng Sizhe was not aiming for the position of mayor, he felt relieved. It is not that Feng Sizhe cannot compete for the position of mayor with his current strength. After all, he has been a deputy director for more than two years and has some foundation. However, it is obviously inappropriate for him to take the position now given the situation in Haibei City. The situation in Haibei was caused by him. If Feng Sizhe really takes the position this time, it will give other officials an impression that as long as he can find something wrong with his superiors and get rid of them, he may take the position. If everyone thinks this way, then the organizational work will be difficult in the future. There will be no real trust between superiors and subordinates. There will only be suspicion and labeling, and grabbing something wrong.

"Haha, okay, Sizhe is a quick-witted person. Since you said so, I can also reveal one thing to you. That is, the Provincial Organization Department is studying the matter of you being a member of the Standing Committee of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor. I think there should be no problem with this matter." Since Feng Sizhe has said this, Yao Dejiang naturally has to give something in return, which can be regarded as a statement of his sincerity.

"Thank you, Minister Yao." Although he knew that he would most likely be promoted to executive vice mayor through such an opportunity, that was just his own inference. Now that he heard Yao Dejiang say it, it was basically a done deal. Feng Sizhe was still very happy.

"Haha, OK, come on, since we're sitting together, let's drink first, haha, Guangyuan Hotel is indeed a hotel dedicated to provincial reception departments, I think the environment here is very good, much better than our provincial military region." Commander Deng Tiejun, who was standing by, was very happy to see that the two sides had reached a tacit agreement on certain things, thinking that the business was over, and he quickly invited the two to drink together. Although Deng Tiejun was also a member of the provincial standing committee, he didn't come to Guangyuan Hotel to eat very often. After all, he was a military man, and generally he would only solve problems in the military. He didn't go to local restaurants very often, and he had to pay attention to the impact.

"Come on, drink." Yao Dejiang was also very happy. He had the same idea as Deng Tiejun. He thought Feng Sizhe came to find out whether he could be promoted to the position of executive vice mayor. So he thought the business was over, so he picked up the wine glass and started drinking with a smile.

Only Feng Sizhe knew that this was just the beginning, and the real business had not yet begun. But since the leader had raised his glass, there was no reason for him not to clink glasses with them. It was like a symbolic toast with the two of them. Then he took out the transfer order signed by Deputy Minister Sun Zhengtao from his pocket and handed it over, "Minister Yao, this is a transfer order. Please take a look. Deputy Minister Sun has already signed it. If possible, please sign your name as well."

Yao Dejiang, who didn't really care, took the transfer order and took a look at it. Seeing that someone had already informed him of the transfer order, he nodded and took the pen that Feng Sizhe handed over with his other hand and started writing. After he finished writing, when he handed it back to Feng Sizhe, he didn't forget to say, "Sizhe, you are just a deputy mayor. Your job focus is to manage the economy. In the future, I think you should stay out of such personnel transfers. Do you understand? This will become a topic for others to discuss about you, which is not good."

"Thank you Minister Yao for your concern. I will pay attention to it in the future. But today I really have to say something, because I was entrusted by Comrade Xiang Kang, Secretary of our Haibei Municipal Party Committee, to come to you to report on my work. The report is about organizational work. I hope Minister Yao can give me some time to listen to my report to you." Feng Sizhe knew that he was overstepping his authority in terms of the redistribution of the structure, but since several forces in Haibei City had found him, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to train himself, he had to get things done, and he had no other reason to shirk responsibility.
