Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Ever since his secretary Ping Yong was transferred away, Xu Yongcheng has become much more low-key. He knows that he cannot be a match for Feng Sizhe in terms of ability or background, so if he wants to maintain his position, he has to work in a low profile and not let others find fault with him.

But this was just his superficial appearance. Deep down, he still hated Feng Sizhe a little. In his opinion, it was this man's brilliance that overshadowed him. Otherwise, he would be considered a capable cadre. And just yesterday afternoon, he suddenly received a call from Ping Guowang, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Ping Guowang's attitude towards him on the phone was a little more enthusiastic.

Xu Yongcheng was not stupid. He knew the purpose of Ping Guowang's call. He just wanted him to cooperate with the two deputy governors to deal with Feng Sizhe tomorrow. But this was also what he wanted, so he agreed immediately. Then he waited until the evening, when the municipal government reported to him the work unit that the leader was going to inspect.

In fact, preparing the inspected units in advance is a common work style at the grassroots level. After all, when leaders come to inspect the work, whether it is for the face of the local government or for the face of the leaders, they always have to find a few good units to show them. Otherwise, if they accidentally see the bad side, won’t everyone lose face?

Chen Ping, the secretary general of the municipal government office, personally wrote down the several units that he had prepared on paper and sent it to Xu Yongcheng for him to see. He also asked him to first come up with the units that were suitable for the leaders to inspect. In fact, the municipal party secretary Xia Xiang and the deputy secretary Ruan Guiben had already ticked it. Seeing that the two leaders with more power than him had ticked the Huanan District Government of the Municipal Tea Base, Xu Yongcheng did not have any major objections. He also knew that these were two typical units. The municipal tea base is considered a feature of Lianhua City. Looking at the nearby urban areas, the scale of the tea base in Lianhua City is still very large and counted. In addition, since Xiang Feng became the district party secretary of Huanan District, it immediately carried out key personnel reforms, and then devoted all its energy to the construction of agricultural transformation. It can be said that their progress is also quite great.

This is their characteristic, but at the same time, they were also created under the command of Feng Sizhe, which can be regarded as Feng Sizhe's achievements. It is also in line with the requirements of the higher-ups to inspect such units. They are looking for Feng Sizhe's faults, so inspecting these two units is the most appropriate. So Xu Yongcheng also waved his hand and agreed to let the two units be inspected by the provincial leaders.

Xu Yongcheng knew that after he agreed, the two units would definitely make careful preparations, but it didn't matter. He believed that as long as the two provincial leaders were willing, they could still find the bad parts and then make use of them. They would definitely be able to find bigger problems. In that case, Feng Sizhe would be in trouble.

In fact, it was not just Xu Yongcheng, many people were waiting to see what would happen. Even Xia Xiang, the municipal party secretary, was very worried. He knew that Feng Sizhe went to Haibei City for his brother-in-law's affairs, and he understood that. He did not approve of some people wanting to use Feng Sizhe's relatives to attack him. Should they fight openly with knives and guns if there was anything going on? If there was really a mistake in his work, he could accept criticism, but such manipulation was not something a party cadre should do.

Although he supported Feng Sizhe, Xia Xiang was still worried about the fact that the provincial party committee leaders came to Lianhua City to inspect the work and Feng Sizhe did not come back. Although Feng Sizhe kept saying on the phone that he would make sure everything would be fine as long as the leaders went to inspect the two units, Xia Xiang was still worried. Feng Sizhe was not Zhuge Liang. How did he know that everything would be fine? He was not just bragging. In the end, seeing that Feng Sizhe still did not show up in the morning and still did not move in Haibei City, he had no choice but to lead the team to inspect. He just hoped that the provincial party committee leaders would not look for problems too carefully today. After all, Lianhua City was poor and had a weak foundation. If they had to find problems, would they be afraid that they would not find any?

After Shao Qingjiang and Zhou Dajiang arrived at the Lianhua Municipal Committee, they first listened to Xia Xiang's half-hour work report in the conference room, and then got up impatiently to start inspecting the work on the spot. They had some thoughts about Feng Sizhe knowing that he was coming but still didn't come back in time to greet them. They thought that this was Feng Sizhe's disrespect for them, so he decided to find faults with him in the next inspection. He wanted to let Feng Sizhe know that we are looking for trouble with you openly.

After listening to the simplest work report of the Municipal Party Committee, without even listening to the work reports of the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Ruan Guiben and the Executive Vice Mayor Xu Yongcheng, Shao Qingjiang and Zhou Dajiang came out of the Municipal Party Committee as if they had made an appointment and went straight to the place they wanted to inspect. They wanted to find the problems in Lianhua City. To be more specific, they wanted to find the problems and issues in Feng Sizhe's work.

Let’s talk about Shao Qingjiang first. He wants to inspect the tea base that has just been put into operation in Lianhua City. He wants to see what this growth point unit that Lianhua City has said is the source of the huge economic growth is like. He wants to come here in person to find out the problem. He wants to pour a basin of cold water on Feng Sizhe to let him know how powerful he is.

Accompanying Shao Qingjiang to the tea base were Xia Xiang, secretary of the Lianhua Municipal Party Committee, and others. As they got off the car, they saw a young man in his early twenties wearing a suit who was there with a few people to greet them.

When he got off the car and saw this scene, Shao Qingjiang was furious. After all, he was the executive vice governor of a province. If he worked hard, he could become a high-ranking official like the governor of a province. However, this tea base was so big, but they only sent a young man with a few staff members to greet him. It seemed that they did not take him seriously enough.

Xia Xiang was also somewhat confused. Just now on the way here, he had called the leader of the tea base and told him that the motorcade was about to arrive and asked them to prepare a grand welcoming ceremony. He thought that maybe after the welcoming ceremony was done, Shao Qingjiang might be happy and show some mercy. But looking at the welcoming scene now, it would be strange if he was not angry. Not to mention that he had never met the person who led the welcoming. Was he a cadre of the tea base? Xia Xiang himself was somewhat skeptical.

"Secretary Xia, what's going on? Don't they know I'm coming?" Shao Qingjiang said unhappily as he looked at the few people who were there to greet him.

"This... I'm not sure either. Let me ask." Xia Xiang was also a little confused and didn't dare to say anything big. After answering this question, he walked a few steps to the young man who was actually Long Xin, who was dressed up, and asked, "I'm Xia Xiang, the secretary of the municipal party committee. I want to ask, where are the leaders of your tea base? Why don't you hold a grand welcoming ceremony as I said on the phone? Don't you know that this time the provincial party committee leaders are here to inspect our work?"

Long Xin also knew Xia Xiang, but the other person just didn't pay attention to him, so he smiled and said, "Hello Secretary Xia, let me introduce myself. My name is Long Xin, and I'm currently one of the leaders of the tea base. I received a call from Mayor Feng and I'm responsible for welcoming the leaders of the provincial party committee. As for the other leaders of the tea base, they are all busy with work, and I'm the only one who's free. Of course, even if I'm the only one, it's enough to handle this kind of inspection." Long Xin said very confidently and with confidence.

"What? You were arranged by Mayor Feng?" Hearing Long Xin say this, Xia Xiang became even more confused. He had never heard Feng Sizhe say such a thing on the phone before.

"Yes, Secretary Xia, please rest assured." After saying this to Xia Xiang, Long Xin strode to Shao Qingjiang, who was still sulking. "You must be Vice Governor Shao. Hello, I'm Long Xin. I'm the guide sent by this tea base. If you have any questions about the work of the tea base, you can ask me."

Long Xin called Shao Qingjiang "Vice Governor Shao" right away. This was really disrespectful. Think about it, even though he was the vice governor, you couldn't call him that. But Long Xin said it in front of everyone. Shao Qingjiang was furious after hearing this tone. His face looked very bad.

"Comrade Long Xin, what are you talking about? We should call Governor Shao." When Xia Xiang saw that Shao Qingjiang was dissatisfied, he hurried over to smooth things over.

"Ah, isn't he the executive vice governor? When did the executive vice governor become the governor? I've never heard of it." Long Xin said with a confused look.

"Enough, Comrade Xia Xiang, is this the basic quality of ordinary cadres in your Lianhua City? Ah? You have no respect for your leaders. How are you taught usually? This... What is the identity of this cadre? I want to deal with him, and deal with him immediately." Shao Qingjiang was revealed in front of so many people that he was not the governor. How could he not be angry? Just think about it, even the real governor Du Shengzheng would politely call him Governor Shao when he saw him, but this young man was so ignorant that he called himself Deputy Governor. How could he not be angry?

"Don't be angry, Governor Shao. I'll deal with it right away." Xia Xiang also felt that Long Xin's attitude was not good for talking to the leader like this, so after he finished speaking to Shao Qingjiang, he turned to Long Xin and said, "You... immediately apologize to Governor Shao and write a self-criticism and hand it to me."

Xia Xiang knew that Long Xin was the person arranged by Feng Sizhe, so he wanted to raise the matter high and let it go lightly. He didn't want to make things too difficult for Long Xin, but Long Xin's attitude was too arrogant. If he didn't say a few words, where would Shao Qingjiang's face be?
