Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Che Zaichao, who had just arrived and had not yet achieved anything, was praised by the leader. He was naturally very happy. While he was happy, he wanted to expand the results of the victory. At his suggestion, the Lianhua City Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee was convened as scheduled, and this time the discussion was about personnel issues.

In the No. 1 meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee, Che Zaichao was beaming with joy. He sat on the first seat and talked about how the work achievements of Lianhua City satisfied the provincial party committee leaders, etc. He spoke for more than 20 minutes. When everyone was tired of listening, he got back to the point and said, "Comrades, we must have new signs in the new year, and we must have new changes. In order to strengthen the work of the municipal government, and in view of Comrade Dong Yongzhao's physical condition, I agree that Comrade Dong Yongzhao retires early and goes to Kyoto for medical treatment. At the same time, I also suggest that Comrade Wang Ben, the secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, take over the position of Deputy Mayor Dong Yongzhao. As for the position left by Comrade Wang Ben, I suggest that Comrade Sun Hui, the deputy secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, take over. Now please discuss it."

As soon as Che Zaichao finished speaking, no one present showed any expression. After all, everyone knew many things in advance. If there was anything new, it was that Sun Hui would serve as the secretary-general of the municipal party committee.

Feng Sizhe had heard about this matter for a long time, but he had never heard anyone mention it formally. Now the car was overtaken, and he was not informed before. This made Feng Sizhe a little angry. After all, he was the first deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. It was obviously unreasonable that such a major personnel matter, or a major matter of the municipal party committee standing committee, was not told to him in advance. Although he was angry, he did not say it immediately, but prepared to say it later depending on the situation.

After Che Zaichao finished speaking, the first person to speak was Comrade Dong Yongzhao, who sat in this conference room for the last time. He stood up and first expressed his gratitude to the comrades for their understanding of him. At the same time, he also said some words of thanks, which were basically to thank the comrades for their support and help in his work. In fact, these words were just the same old sayings. When facing a person who was leaving, everyone was tolerant and no one would make things difficult for him.

After Dong Yongzhao finished speaking, Wang Ben spoke next. He also expressed his gratitude to his comrades for their trust. He said that after he was transferred from the Municipal Party Committee to the Municipal Government, he would work harder and achieve some results.

The last person to stand up and speak was Sun Hui, who was sitting in the waiting seats. He was a member of the routine meeting this time and only had the right to speak but not the right to vote. All powers would not be available to him until he officially took office as the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee.

"Thank you Secretary Che and my comrades for your appreciation. I, Sun Hui, will definitely perform well in my work in the future. I will focus on the Municipal Party Committee and serve the important leaders of the Municipal Party Committee... In short, everything depends on my actual actions." Sun Hui stood up and gave a speech that he had prepared for a long time. But he didn't know that there were too many wrong words in his words.

Apart from anything else, he is not yet a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, nor is he the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. However, he did call those leaders comrades in advance, and he always emphasized one point, that is, to serve the important leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. He even never mentioned the name of Mayor Feng Sizhe once. It is enough to show that this person only has Che Zaichao in his eyes. This kind of obvious flattery is obviously disliked by everyone.

Sun Hui's words made all the standing committee members frown. Even Che Zaichao himself looked very angry. Sun Hui, even if you want to flatter someone, you should choose the right time. At this critical juncture when you are deciding whether to become the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, why are you still flattering like this? You don't know the seriousness of the matter.

Although he was unhappy, he still had to support it, because he was the one who made the proposal. "Well, that's enough, Comrade Sun Hui's words are still very sincere. I think we should vote next. Comrades who agree that Comrade Wang Ben should be transferred to the position of deputy mayor, please raise your hands."

In order to prevent Sun Hui from continuing to behave badly, Che Zaichao decided to vote now. He chose the one that everyone agreed with first, in order to get a good start.

As for making Wang Ben a standing committee member and deputy mayor, everyone had known about this a long time ago, and everyone had been informed. Everyone present knew that this proposal would definitely pass, so everyone voted in favor.

"Very good, it's passed unanimously. Now, please vote on whether Comrade Sun Hui is suitable for the position of Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. The voting results will ultimately be reported to the Provincial Party Committee for approval." While saying this, Che Zaichao became a little nervous. After all, this was what he cared about most.

After Che Zaichao finished speaking, he looked at the members of the Municipal Party Committee one by one. He first looked at Huang Lin, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, whom he had informed in advance, and he believed that Huang Lin would definitely support this resolution.

Sure enough, when Che Zaichao looked over, Huang Lin hesitated for a moment and raised his right hand. The next ones to come were Propaganda Minister Song Jian and Huabei District Party Committee Secretary Li Haiwen.

Song Jian and Li Haiwen were a little angry and even a little resistant after hearing what Sun Hui said, but they had no choice but to raise their right hands to save Che Zaichao's face. Then it was Executive Vice Mayor Xu Yongcheng. In Che Zaichao's opinion, this comrade would definitely support him.

But this time Che Zaichao was really disappointed. Xu Yongcheng kept his head down and never raised it, which made it impossible for him to see him at all. In such a situation, what else could he say? All his looks were useless.

"Well, comrades who agree, please raise your hands." Che Zaichao had to cough lightly and said the resolution again. He wanted to attract Xu Yongcheng's attention.

But Xu Yongcheng seemed determined not to raise his hand. He just didn't look up, which left Che Zaichao with no way out.

If even Xu Yongcheng, his close friend, didn't raise his hand, the result was predictable. Cheng Dashan from Feng's Organization Department would certainly not raise his hand to agree, just like Feng Sizhe. Wang Ben, who was already the deputy mayor, would naturally not agree. Not to mention Guo Pingchuan, the commander of the Lianhua City Military Sub-district, who was watching the show with his arms folded. In the eyes of others, it was a good thing that no one asked if there was any objection, otherwise he would really raise his hand among the opposition.

The centrist Deputy Secretary Ruan Guiben, Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Chen Zhenghai and United Front Minister Ding Yi chose to wait and see. They had not communicated with Che Zaichao on this matter before. Although they should support the work of the municipal party secretary, Sun Hui's words just now were too hurtful. They did not want to associate with such a person, so they chose to abstain from voting.

There are thirteen members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, including Dong Yongzhao who has already retired. However, even if these twelve people include the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Che Zaichao, they only have four votes. This ratio is really too low.

Che Zaichao had never thought that this would be the result. He thought that as long as he proposed it, it would definitely pass. After all, no one would argue with Sun Hui, so what did he have to worry about? So he did not discuss it with people who were not from his faction, but he did not expect the result to be like this. He could not help but look at Feng Sizhe. He knew that if he could convince this person to raise his hand, then others would raise their hands, and then his Sun Hui would pass the municipal committee.

"Ah, Mayor Feng, what do you think about this matter?" Che Zaichao looked at Feng Sizhe with a smile on his face. He looked so humble at this moment.

"Secretary Che, although this is the business of your municipal party committee, I personally do not agree with Sun Hui being the secretary-general of the municipal party committee. If you must ask me the reason, I would like to say that Sun Hui does not yet have the basic qualities to be the secretary-general of the municipal party committee. Oh, sorry, my words were a bit blunt." Feng Sizhe replied with a smile, then straightened his body and looked forward.

Feng Sizhe knew that saying this would not only offend Sun Hui, but would also embarrass Che Zaichao, but he still had to say this because he was not afraid of either of them, and most importantly, he was telling the truth.

Of course, Che Zaichao had not expected that Feng Sizhe would say this. He thought that even if Feng Sizhe disagreed in his heart, since he asked him this, he would just laugh it off for the sake of superficial unity and then slowly raise his hand. But who would have thought that he would speak with such a clear attitude.

"Well..." For a moment, Che Zaichao was also confused by Feng Sizhe's clear attitude. But after all, he used to work in journalism, so he was very thick-skinned. He just lowered his head, and his expression returned to normal when he looked up. "Well, I think Comrade Sun Hui can be the secretary-general of the municipal party committee. Of course, everyone has the right not to choose. But I want to ask, besides Comrade Sun Hui, is there anyone more suitable than him in Lianhua City? So I still insist on thinking so, and since we have no second choice, I will initiate my own vote in the name of the secretary of the Lianhua Municipal Party Committee, which is to approve Sun Hui's appointment as the secretary-general of the Lianhua Municipal Party Committee and report it to the Provincial Party Committee for approval."

Che Zaichao knew that he could not afford to lose this time, he recommended Sun Hui to be the secretary general of the municipal party committee in order to be able to fully control the situation in Lianhua City. It can be said that as long as Sun Hui can take office this time, he will have the final say in Lianhua City in the future. Besides, he is the secretary of the municipal party committee and should have absolute power in personnel matters. In order to prevent his proposal from being rejected and to not lose his face, he resolutely used his veto power as the first secretary, the trump card vote.
