Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Feng Sizhe called and mainly talked about two things. First, he congratulated Lu Zhuo on his promotion and transformation. From secretary-general of the provincial party committee to head of the organization department, it meant that his future path would be much wider, which was indeed a cause for celebration. The second thing was to discuss with him about Lu Zhuo's transfer to Guangxi Province.

Feng Sizhe's condition was that in this round of reshuffle, Haibei City would have a vacant position for a member of the Municipal Party Committee and the district party secretary. This position was indeed a bit high for Lü Zhuo, who was a county magistrate, but fortunately, the member of the Municipal Party Committee in this position was just a figurehead, and in fact he was in charge of a district, which was the same power as the county party secretary. In this way, it would not be so abrupt for Lü Zhuo to take up this role across provinces. Of course, this was also equivalent to being promoted from a director to a deputy director, and he was also a member of the Municipal Party Committee, which was an absolute promotion.

When Lv Xianwen heard about such a good thing, he certainly agreed with both hands, but all he could do was to transfer Lv Zhuo from Zhongzhou Province to Guanggui Province. Even whether Guanggui Province would accept him depended on Feng Sizhe himself. Fortunately, Feng Sizhe had already planned everything. He mentioned it in the first conversation with Wei Zuosheng. This can be regarded as Feng Sizhe's welfare. He ran around and just asked for a seat on the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. If he couldn't get support from others for this, it would be too unbalanced, not to mention that it was Feng Sizhe who made Xu Qingdong, the former secretary of the Chenghai District Party Committee, step down. He was busy from beginning to end, so he couldn't have nothing to do.

In this way, Lu Zhuo came from Zhongzhou Province to Guanggui Province. When he followed Yao Dejiang and saw Feng Sizhe, he was quite excited, but because of so many people, he couldn't say much.

Surrounded by the city party secretary Xiang Kang and others, Yao Dejiang shook hands with the leaders of Haibei city who were waiting there, then returned to the car and walked towards the Haibei municipal party committee compound. In the auditorium on the first floor of the municipal party committee compound, many people entered and walked into this auditorium that could accommodate more than a hundred people.

Yao Dejiang, as the top leader here, naturally sat in the middle of the rostrum, with Xiang Kang, secretary of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee, and his deputy, Sun Zhengtao, deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, on his left and right. The other members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and the leaders of the Municipal People's Congress and CPPCC sat on both sides and behind him.

After everyone found their seats, Xiang Kang took the microphone to preside over the meeting. The first item of the meeting was the personnel adjustments of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee by Minister Sun Zhengtao of the Propaganda Department and the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Sun Zhengtao adjusted the microphone in front of him, then took out the provincial party committee's document and began to read. "After research by the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Standing Committee, it has been decided to make certain adjustments to the work of some leaders in Haibei City. Now I will announce the decision of the provincial party committee."

At this point, Sun Zhengtao paused for a moment, then looked at everyone and said, "It has been decided to recommend Comrade Wei Zuosheng, former deputy secretary of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee, as the acting mayor of Haibei City. This will be submitted to the Haibei Municipal People's Congress for election and approval."

"Comrade Feng Sizhe, former member of the Standing Committee of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, recommended him as executive deputy mayor of the Haibei Municipal Government."

"Comrade Zhang Shou, the former head of the Haibei Municipal Organization Department, is no longer the head of the Organization Department and has been appointed as the deputy secretary of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee."

"Comrade Lou Xiaoming, former Haibei City Propaganda Minister, is no longer serving as Propaganda Minister and has been appointed Haibei City Organization Minister."

"Appoint Comrade Jiang Rufeng as member of the Standing Committee of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda."

"Appoint Comrade Wu Changqing as member of the Standing Committee of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor."

"Appoint comrade Lü Zhuo as member of the Standing Committee of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Chenghai District Party Committee, and Secretary of the Party Group."

As soon as Sun Zhengtao opened his mouth on the stage, he set the new pattern of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee. After saying this, he moved the microphone away to show that he had finished what he wanted to say.

Secretary Xiang Kang took the microphone again, and then said to the crowd below who were already talking a lot, "Comrades below, please be quiet. We will ask Comrade Yao Dejiang to give us some instructions next."

Applause followed, and Yao Dejiang began to speak amidst the applause. He first affirmed the various works of Haibei City in recent years, and affirmed that most comrades in Haibei City are still good and have made achievements. At the same time, he also pointed out that Haibei City, especially the Haibei Municipal Government, took a detour some time ago, but fortunately it is not too late to make up for the loss, and the problem was discovered early. The organization dealt with Liu Wenhua, Song Dexiang and a group of other comrades in time, and returned a clear sky to Haibei City. In the future, when Haibei City has a new team, I hope that the comrades here can unite as one, grasp the various works of Haibei City, and work hard to make Haibei City a prosperous and beautiful Haidian city. "

In fact, no one was interested in what Yao Dejiang was going to say next. Everyone was thinking about the new structure of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. Few people knew about this change before, and now it was suddenly announced. As you can imagine, many people were very surprised. They were all wondering who was behind this. Was it the Municipal Party Committee's announcement?

Well, it should be his. You see, the new member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Mayor Wu Changqing, is Secretary Xiang Kang's man. Everyone knows this. Seeing that there is one more person who is Secretary Xiang's man among the new members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, everyone can't help but attribute the achievements of this adjustment of the Haibei City team to Xiang Kang, but only a limited number of people know that all this was pushed by Feng Sizhe behind the scenes. If it weren't for this young man, Haibei City would not have been able to adjust the mayor from the original Haibei City team after so many problematic officials appeared. It is even more impossible that the former Haibei Municipal Party Committee members were promoted half a level, such as Organization Minister Zhang Shou was promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, with greater power, and Lou Xiaoming was promoted from Propaganda Minister to Organization Minister, and his power is undoubtedly greater.

But no matter how people speculate, the new Haibei Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee team is officially established. After the adjustment of the new municipal party committee team, their ranking is as follows: Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xiang Kang; Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary and Acting Mayor Wei Zuosheng; Mayor's full-time deputy secretary Zhang Shou; Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary and Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Wang Changhui; Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary and Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Mi Xueyong; Executive Deputy Mayor Feng Sizhe; Organization Minister Lou Xiaoming; Propaganda Minister Jiang Rufeng; Standing Committee Deputy Mayor Wu Changqing; United Front Minister Zheng Geping; Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General Li Chao; Chenghai District Party Committee Secretary Lv Zhuo; Haibei Military Sub-district Commander Xi Guoqi.

Feng Sizhe was promoted from the ninth place to the executive vice mayor, second only to the five vice secretaries. This was a small step forward. Of course, this was only the official ranking, but in reality, his ranking was far from sixth place, and he could only move forward.

At noon, the Haibei Municipal Party Committee held a grand welcome banquet. For the sake of Haibei City’s stability, Yao Dejiang also stayed and had a meal with everyone.

At the banquet, not only did Yao Dejiang show his close relationship with Feng Sizhe, but his deputy, Sun Zhengtao, who was in charge of the transfer and promotion of department-level cadres, also showed his friendliness and close relationship with Feng Sizhe. This time, the political situation in Haibei City changed as expected, which made Sun Zhengtao see Feng Sizhe's ability. In addition, through his observation, he had seen that this young man had the style of doing great things, so the relationship between the two quickly warmed up and they became good friends.

Both ministers of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee maintained a close relationship with Feng Sizhe, which made other officials of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee secretly envious and jealous.

But this was just the beginning. After Yao Dejiang and Sun Zhengtao left Haibei City, the new leadership of Haibei City held a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. At this Standing Committee meeting, a series of personnel adjustments were made in Haibei City, which was enough to show Feng Sizhe's status and importance in Haibei City.

The Standing Committee of the Haibei Municipal Party Committee decided: "Appoint Zhao Guangming as the Director of the Municipal Finance Bureau and Secretary of the Party Group. Appoint Huang Song as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and Director of the Office, with the rank of Director. Chen Ping is dismissed from his position as Business Director of the Haitian Economic Development Zone and appointed as Deputy Director of the Municipal Statistics Bureau, with the rank of Deputy Director. Since the Statistics Bureau currently has no Director, Chen Ping will temporarily serve as Director."

Chen Ping and Huang Song, who had joined Feng Sizhe, were finally rewarded and had their own place on the political stage of Haibei City. Then, at the executive meeting of the municipal government, the newly appointed mayor Wei Zuosheng also readjusted the division of labor among several deputy mayors and mayoral assistants.

As the executive vice mayor, Feng Sizhe was in charge of the Haitian Economic Development Zone and the city's agriculture. It can be said that his responsibilities were heavier. On the contrary, several vice mayors who were close to Liu Wenhua had their powers reduced by Wei Zuosheng. Among them, only Vice Mayor Zhao Haofen, who was in charge of women, sports, and tourism, had her power increased a lot under Feng Sizhe's recommendation and became the powerful vice mayor in charge of the city's taxation.

The power transfer in Haibei City has basically been settled. Everyone found that those cadres who were on good terms with Feng Sizhe were given important positions, while those cadres who wanted to go against him or even looked down on Feng Sizhe were now out of power and marginalized from the power center.

At the end of June 1998, more than half a year after Feng Sizhe came to Haibei City, Haitian Economic Development Zone achieved good and healthy development under the general situation of national economic recovery and improvement of Asian economy, and completed the goal of turning losses into profits six months ahead of schedule.

The situation in the development zone was getting better and better, and everything was back on track. There were fewer and fewer things that Feng Sizhe needed to keep an eye on. At this time, his secretary Chen Guangming and driver Li Shuang also took an opportunity to advise Feng Sizhe that now that everything was back on track, could the boss take a vacation and have a good rest?
