Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Haha." Hearing Xia Xiang say this, Pan Qiyang also laughed. He knew more about the three governors of the provincial government than Xia Xiang. After all, they were all in the same city and were all members of the provincial party committee. They would see each other every day. "Well, whether the problem can be solved and how to solve it, I think we should wait until Mayor Wang comes to talk about it. To be honest, I rarely intervene in the city's economic issues. Generally, Mayor Wang is in charge." Pan Qiyang smiled again and again, and in a blink of an eye, he threw the question to Wang Zerong, whom he had not met yet.

"Oh, then should we go to the city government to meet with Mayor Wang?" Xia Xiang asked anxiously when he heard Pan Qiyang say this. He wanted to solve this matter so badly, and the sooner it was solved, the sooner he could get rid of the pain in his heart.

"There's no rush. I've already called Mayor Wang, and he said he'll come over to me after he finishes the things he has on hand." Pan Qiyang nodded with a smile, indicating that there was no need to go there and they just had to wait for Wang Zerong to come.

After all, he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and a deputy provincial leader. If he said to wait, then Xia Xiang and Feng Sizhe would just wait. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. About 20 minutes later, Wang Zerong appeared in Pan Qiyang's office. As soon as he entered the office, Wang Zerong shook hands with Pan Qiyang first, then turned around and shook hands with Xia Xiang, and then walked to Feng Sizhe, stretched out his big hand and said, "Comrade Feng Sizhe, although this is our first meeting, I have known you for a long time. Come, let's meet Wang Zerong, the mayor of Guiyuan Municipal Government."

"Hello, Mayor Wang. I am Feng Sizhe, the mayor of Lianhua Municipal Government." In response to Wang Zerong's talk of a long-standing spiritual friendship, Feng Sizhe smiled and said that he was not worthy of the title. Then he began to look at Wang Zerong seriously.

Wang Zerong, 45 years old, was once a top student of Kyoto University in the Republic. He is considered to be one of the most educated mayors. Being able to become the mayor of a sub-provincial city at the age of 45 is not an ordinary person's performance, but Feng Sizhe will carefully look at him, not for these reasons, but because he knows that Wang Zerong's future is limitless. This is because he has heard of a person's name in his previous life, and he also knows that this person entered the Central Political Bureau at the age of more than 50 and is very likely to become one of the standing committee members of the Political Bureau in the future. So when he saw this person in front of him, Feng Sizhe couldn't help but look at him more. Of course, if others don't know the details of this, it's understandable, but as far as Feng Sizhe is concerned, he is indeed clear, because he knows that this person's backer is Guo Renzheng, the current secretary of the Kyoto Municipal Party Committee. He is an absolute Guo faction diehard and a future leader of the Guo faction.

"Haha, the answer is simple and capable, without any unnecessary nonsense, which is very good, it can be seen that you are a good mayor who is capable of doing things." Wang Zerong said that he had known the other party for a long time, but in return, it was indeed the simplest introduction. He couldn't help but make fun of himself. Because he had already shown goodwill first, but he stopped at Feng Sizhe for no reason, and only handled the business impartially, which inevitably disappointed him a little, so he came up with such a reminder that seemed to be flattering but was actually dissatisfied.

As soon as Wang Zerong said this, Pan Qiyang and Xia Xiang who were standing aside were stunned. They were all smart people and could feel that Wang Zerong seemed angry, so they quickly turned their eyes to Feng Sizhe, especially Xia Xiang. He was thinking in his heart, Sizhe, please explain it quickly. If you don't explain, it will inevitably make people angry, and this time, asking others for help will probably fail.

But only Feng Sizhe was extremely calm. After he heard that Wang Zerong was the mayor of Guiyuan City, he had imagined many times in his mind what would happen after the two met. He even thought clearly about their first conversation. From his understanding of Wang Zerong in his previous life, he knew that he was a very pragmatic cadre. He was simple and direct in his interactions with others, unlike some officials who were mostly hypocritical. It was precisely because he understood Wang Zerong's personality that Feng Sizhe did not react at all after listening to Wang Zerong's polite words that he had been in contact with for a long time. He still chose the most direct way to get to know him. Because he firmly believed in one thing in his heart, what he did was the most correct. Even though Wang Zerong seemed to dislike it now, it was just testing him. What he had to do was to stick to his principles.

Now hearing Wang Zerong still testing him, Feng Sizhe said in his heart, "Okay, if you must do this, then I will satisfy you." So he replied, "I'm sorry, Mayor Wang, I didn't know much about you before, so for me, it's not like we have a spiritual connection. And I'm a straightforward person and I can't lie, so I can't say what you said just now. If I made Mayor Wang angry because of this, then I can only apologize. But having said that, I believe that as long as Mayor Wang is a good cadre who serves the people and the country, then I will not have a spiritual connection with you, but a true connection with you."

Feng Sizhe spoke very bluntly, and Xia Xiang, who was listening to the side, was very nervous. Although what he said was reasonable, not everyone was willing to listen to such truth. If Wang Zerong was angry because of these words, then the matter would fall through, and what would Lotus City do? For this reason, after listening to these words, he was trembling in his heart, for fear of offending others because of these words.

After hearing these words, Pan Qiyang's heart was beating fast, because he had never said this to his partner Wang Zerong before, and Feng Sizhe's words at this time were a bit too rash? For this reason, the two of them were looking at Wang Zerong, and they wanted to see how he would react.

Feng Sizhe's reaction was beyond Wang Zerong's expectation. He really didn't hear his slightly flattering words. This young man could be so indifferent. This was beyond his expectation. From his investigation of Feng Sizhe's information, he had a resolute side, but also a smooth side. Normally, since it was the first time they met, he should be more smooth, but why did he speak like this, with every word being direct and touching his heart?

No matter how you think about it, the first impression Feng Sizhe left on Wang Zerong seemed to be very good, very down-to-earth. He was not like some officials who only knew how to flatter and fawn on others. Like some people, they had to be humble when asking for help. But it was very rare to find someone like Feng Sizhe who could do things in an impartial manner when asking others for favors.

"Very good, very good, this is what a party cadre should be like, telling the truth. Very good, I like it very much." Finally, after waiting for a long time, Wang Zerong said these words, and when he said these words, he was completely sincere and people did not see any insincerity.

This feeling soon spread to Pan Qiyang and Xia Xiang who were standing by. They all breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Sizhe was even more relieved. He was happy that he won the bet.

"Haha, that's good, that's good, come on, everyone take a seat." Seeing that there was no awkward silence or unpleasantness, Pan Qiyang happily arranged for everyone to sit down.

Perhaps it was because of Feng Sizhe's special performance, or because Wang Zerong had a good impression of Feng Sizhe, or because Guiyuan City had already made plans for the situation in Lianhua City, so in the following time, the two sides quickly reached an agreement on the useless large agricultural machinery in Lianhua City. In the end, Guiyuan City planned to take over all the large machinery in Lianhua City, and purchase them all at 80% of the market price.

In this way, the foreign debt of 100 million is equivalent to 20 million, which can be said to have greatly alleviated the pressure on Lianhua City. The achievement of this goal made Xia Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Feng Sizhe was even happier, as this once again showed him the charm of language. If he flattered Wang Zerong right away, the other party might think that he was not honest enough and would try to pressure him in the next cooperation, after all, he came to ask for help. But it was because he was upright from the beginning that he was able to reach this agreement at such a high price, which was completely appropriate.

Of course, the incident is also beneficial to Guiyuan City. They were preparing to import a batch of machinery, and now they can spend 20% less, which is also a profit. It can be said that everyone is happy.

After finishing the discussion, the group of four came to the Guiyuan Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse, where they had a meal together in a private room, deepening their feelings for each other.

After the meal, the conversation was entirely centered around Feng Sizhe. Everyone first raised their glasses to congratulate Feng Sizhe on becoming the mayor of a city at the age of 31, and then drank some wine. Then, after three rounds of drinks, when everyone was completely relaxed, Wang Zerong began to whisper with Feng Sizhe.

The so-called whispering is just whispering. While Pan Qiyang and Xia Xiang were drinking, Wang Zerong leaned over to Feng Sizhe and asked, "Mr. Feng, I heard that you have a nickname, the genius of business, right?"

Wang Zerong suddenly stopped calling himself Comrade Feng Sizhe, and instead called himself Young Master Feng instead of Mayor Feng, which surprised him. Now when he heard the other party also mention his reputation in the business world, Feng Sizhe just laughed. He knew that the other party was trying to test him and it seemed that the other party wanted to trick him into saying something.
