Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After saying this, Feng Sizhe was the first to raise his hand. While raising his hand, he did not forget to look at Mayor Ru Honghai standing beside him, and it was obvious that he wanted to get the other party's support.

Ru Honghai had just been distracted by Mou Guoyang's objection, but when he saw Feng Sizhe stepped forward in time and took control of the situation, he calmed down. Seeing Feng Sizhe raise his hand first, he immediately raised his hand without hesitation. Following Ru Honghai's hand, Deputy Mayor Deng Lei also raised his hand. Both of them were from the Qin faction, so naturally they would be in unison on many issues.

This is equivalent to three votes. Next, Organization Minister Duan Hewei and Military Sub-district Commander Li Pwei will definitely raise their hands. Both of them are Feng Sizhe’s current allies or subordinates. They will definitely support Feng Sizhe.

Five votes. This number of votes made Mou Guoyang look contemptuous. He believed that the other party only had this few votes. However, he was still a little surprised that the sub-district commander Li Pwei, who had never participated in local politics, would clearly support Feng Sizhe. He did not expect that Feng Sizhe would win over Li Pwei so quickly. It must be said that this young man did have some means.

Seeing that there were only five votes, Ru Honghai was a little nervous. Although Li P also raised his hand, he still had no confidence in whether he could defeat Mou Guoyang. In his opinion, the Gan faction had too deep a foundation in Tongda City, and how could it be easily shaken? The same was true for Feng Sizhe. If he fought hard without being prepared, what would he do if the support votes really could not beat the opposition votes? Let's not talk about others first, at least the mayor who announced this decision would definitely lose face at the meeting, which was a very unauthoritative thing.

Just when Mou Guoyang was secretly proud and Ru Honghai was looking disappointed, the Propaganda Minister Wang Shiguang, who had always been a centrist, suddenly moved his arm and raised his right hand high.

No one had expected that Wang Shiguang would suddenly express his support, but only Feng Sizhe knew that it was because of his previous words that Wang Shiguang worked, and that Wang Shiguang was indeed a smart man.

Compared with other members of the Municipal Party Committee, Wang Shiguang is not from the same city, nor does he have any connections or connections. He has reached his current position only because of his intelligence and cautious behavior. If a person can become a member of the Municipal Party Committee without any support or connections, he must not be an ordinary person.

When Wang Shiguang first came to Tongda, he had thought about whether to join the Gansu faction. In this way, he would have a backer in the upper echelons, and he would have roots. Maybe his career would be smoother in the future. But to his disappointment, although Mou Guoyang had talked to him, he felt that Mou Guoyang did not take his position very seriously. It was right to think about it. The position of the Minister of Propaganda did not have much power, especially in a prefecture-level city like Tongda, where mining accidents occurred frequently. This made it difficult for the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department to do external news work.

Since the Gan faction had no sincerity in inviting him, Wang Shiguang had no choice but to do his job, which was to work carefully and cautiously to ensure that he did not have any handle that could be caught by the other party. At the same time, he was also waiting for an opportunity, a good opportunity to make a contribution and show himself well.

Not long after, Wang Shiguang witnessed the fact that the municipal party secretary and mayor who were not from the Gan faction were both dismissed and left Tongda City. He also saw the new secretary Feng Sizhe and the mayor Ru Honghai. To be honest, Wang Shiguang did not dare to have too many fantasies about these two people, because he did not know how capable they were and whether they could really beat Mou Guoyang and others from the Gan faction. Sure enough, a few days after the new secretary came, news came out that Feng Sizhe was beaten by people from the Gan faction in Kyoto. Then he actually saw Feng Sizhe with a bandage on his left arm, which gave him an idea, that is, he should continue to lie dormant and see the situation first.

But what Wang Shiguang never expected was that three days ago, Feng Sizhe, who had just returned to Tongda City, actually held such a meeting and said four points that impressed him deeply. It can be said that for Wang Shiguang, every word of Feng Sizhe's four points hit the mark, and every word touched Wang Shiguang deeply. After returning home after the meeting, he carefully studied all of Feng Sizhe's speeches at the meeting, and he found that Feng Sizhe was indeed capable, and not only that, his proposals were also the most suitable for the current situation in Tongda City. For this reason, he had to think about whether he could get closer to Feng Sizhe, because this person's speech was indeed very good. When facing a strong man, if you know that you will not be his opponent, then the best way is not to be his enemy, but to be his friend.

Wang Shiguang, who was excited, happened to catch up with the meeting three days later. Seeing Feng Sizhe and Mou Guoyang wrestling, Wang Shiguang thought about it again and again, especially when he heard Feng Sizhe say that the cadres who agreed would have to sign the plan and then report it to the State Council. In other words, this report is likely to appear on the desk of Prime Minister Bao Jingguo's office. If the Prime Minister can see his name, it can be said that it must be a good thing. Whether it is to show goodwill to Feng Sizhe or Wang Shiguang for fame, he thought again and again, and did not miss this opportunity. He resolutely cast his vote of approval. He believed that his decision would not be wrong.

Wang Shiguang suddenly voted, which made the situation even more tense. The votes were tied at six to six. Feng Sizhe tied with the opponent in his first move, which was a good record in itself. When all the cadres looked at Feng Sizhe with envy, they realized that he had already set his sights on the only member of the Municipal Party Committee who had not yet expressed his position, that is, the Minister of the Municipal United Front Work Department, Wang Lixue, who was also a centrist.

Although from Feng Sizhe's perspective, he was proud of the fact that he had just arrived in Tongda City and had a direct confrontation with the local faction, and had even established a similar front, this did not satisfy Feng Sizhe's requirements. In his view, political struggles were like battlefields, either winning or losing, and there would be no draws. For this reason, he wanted to compete with Mou Guoyang and others today. He wanted to let the other party know, and also let all the leaders of various departments and units in the audience know that in Tongda City, it is not the Gan faction that says what to do. Maybe it was like this before, but with me, Feng Sizhe, coming, this rule must be changed.

The person who felt the most uncomfortable was Wang Lixue who was sitting there. It was really appropriate to describe him as feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

After Wang Shiguang expressed his opinion, he knew that everyone's attention would be focused on him, because he had already felt Feng Sizhe's burning gaze. In fact, he felt not only Feng Sizhe's gaze, but also the gazes of Mayor Ru Honghai and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Mou Guoyang.

As the Minister of United Front Work, Wang Lixue's status in Tongda City is not high. Although he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and one of the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, he has never had much power. Perhaps it is because there is no relationship with other ethnic groups in Tongda City, or the cadres here are relatively unified and most of them are attached to the Gansu faction, so he has become a dispensable role as the Minister of United Front Work. I always thought that people including Mou Guoyang were not enthusiastic about him, because in the absence of anyone threatening the Gansu faction, they did not need to spend the effort to pull a Minister of United Front Work who did not hinder them from doing anything big to their camp, because if you want to pull someone, you have to pay a high price. That is to say, it was originally a piece of meat, shared by six people, but now it has to be shared by seven people, which is equivalent to giving up some of their own rights and interests. How can he break free from this fat meat in his mouth? So no one has tried to pull Wang Lixue, which is why he became a centrist.

But today, he, who had always been regarded as an insignificant centrist, finally came in handy. Someone finally began to pay attention to him and made him a crucial chess piece. A vote that no one could ignore.

For the first time, at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, Wang Lixue felt his own importance. Facing so many people's extremely respectful gazes, he felt the influence of power and felt that power was so wonderful. He also sat up straight for the first time, and then at the same time, he greeted all the gazes looking at him with confidence.

Wang Lixue was still considering it and did not express his opinion immediately, which made Mou Guoyang more nervous. He felt that today's meeting was the most difficult one for him to hold since he came to Tongda City, because the pace of the meeting was completely different from his requirements. There were too many unexpected changes and too many disappointments. Now that things were about to be settled, he was somewhat nervous because he was worried that Wang Lixue would vote in favor. If so, the Gan faction would lose this time. The failure of the Gan faction in Tongda City was itself an unacceptable thing, and he was primarily responsible in front of the Gan family.

Mayor Ru Honghai was also looking at Wang Lixue excitedly. Although they had only known each other for a few days and had not had any chance to have deep contact, he still hoped to use his honest gaze to get the other party to support him, because if Wang Lizi also voted in favor, it would represent the failure of the Gan faction, breaking the myth that the Gan faction was invincible in Tongda City. In this way, many tasks in the future would be much easier to do.
