Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After saying this sentence seemingly with great effort, Chen Buyun looked up at Feng Sizhe. What he should have said was finally said, and he felt a sense of relief all over his body.

"No chance? What does that mean?" Feng Sizhe didn't quite understand this sentence.

"It's like this, Secretary Feng. Early this morning, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Mou Guoyang came to our Statistics Bureau and talked to me. He said that in view of the fact that the number of deputy directors of the Statistics Bureau has exceeded the quota, he wanted me to consider transferring my job." Chen Buyun looked Feng Sizhe in the eyes and said seriously.

"Oh, did they say you were transferred somewhere?" Feng Sizhe felt this story was somewhat interesting. He asked while leaning back in his chair.

"He is said to be going to Muyang County to serve as deputy county magistrate. Of course, he will still be a deputy county magistrate with a low ranking." Chen Buyun replied.

The Municipal Statistics Bureau is a division-level unit, and as the deputy director, he is naturally at the deputy division level. Going to the county to serve as deputy county magistrate is also at the deputy division level. This seems to be a lateral transfer and there is nothing wrong with it. After all, for cadres, it is normal to transfer jobs. Isn't Feng Sizhe being transferred back and forth all the time?

"Oh, then I want to congratulate Director Chen on becoming County Magistrate Chen, hehe." Feng Sizhe said while looking at Chen Buyun with a smile.

"No, Secretary Feng, actually I don't want to go to Muyanghui at all, and I don't want to be the deputy county magistrate. I just want to stay in the Statistics Bureau and learn and work by Secretary Feng's side." Chen Buyun hurriedly explained, as if afraid that Feng Sizhe would misunderstand the meaning of his words.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Although Feng Sizhe had already heard the meaning of loyalty and getting closer from Chen Buyun's words, he still wanted to ask more deeply.

"Secretary Feng, I am considered an old man in the Municipal Statistics Bureau. I have worked as the deputy director for six years. I can say that I have deep feelings about many things in the Statistics Bureau. Although I have not come into contact with many things here with real evidence, I can still feel that there are big problems in the Municipal Statistics Bureau, and they have always existed. It's just that when Director Sun was here, he handled them very well, and ordinary people couldn't see them. But I believe that as long as we investigate deeply, we will be able to dig up many problems. As a member of the Municipal Statistics Bureau and a cadre trained by the Party and the country, I should fulfill my duties and fight against illegal activities. So I want to stay in the Municipal Statistics Bureau and fulfill my responsibility as a Party member."

He said a lot of big words, even a lot of face-saving words, but to put it bluntly, Chen Buyun said all this to mean one thing, that is, he did not want to leave the Municipal Statistics Bureau. He had worked here for six years, but was still at the deputy division level. Now he was going to be transferred to the county to serve as deputy county magistrate. Although being promoted to deputy county magistrate seemed to mean more power, he was still at the deputy division level. He had moved to a new place, and if he wanted to be promoted, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait. This made him lose his patience. In his opinion, he would either be promoted and transferred, or stay in the Municipal Statistics Bureau. In short, he could not transfer jobs casually, otherwise he would have no hope in his life.

But then again, he was just a deputy director, a deputy division-level official. There were many cadres of this level in a city. It was impossible for him to not go if he wanted to, and to do whatever he wanted. Of course, it was not completely impossible. For example, if he found a good backer and someone spoke for him, his current situation might be fundamentally changed. So, he thought of Feng Sizhe. He thought that since Secretary Feng came to Tongda City, he had come to report on his work, and he felt that Secretary Feng had a good impression of him. So he came here today to say these words, with only one purpose, that is, he hoped that Feng Sizhe could help him. Of course, as a benefit, he would listen to Feng Sizhe and become a capable member of Feng's system.

As mentioned before, the Party Secretary of a city is a cadre of the level of a full-time department. Even if he wants to win over a cadre, he must at least be a full-time department-level cadre. Unfortunately, the situation in the city is different from that in other places. Most of the cadres at the level of full-time department, including the level of deputy department, are Gansu cadres. As a newcomer, Feng Sizhe would find it very difficult to win them over. For this reason, he could only consider cadres of lower levels. It was under this special situation that cadres like Chen Buyun were able to see him, the Party Secretary. Even so, Feng Sizhe had lowered the threshold very low, but there were not many cadres at the level of deputy department who could take the initiative to come to him to report their work, and there were even fewer cadres like Chen Buyun who showed their loyalty.

Now Chen Buyun has at least expressed his determination and said that he wants to learn from Feng Sizhe, which means that he still wants to work for Feng Sizhe. Now the initiative falls into Feng Sizhe's hands. Whether he wants to use this matter to pull Chen Buyun into his school is something he has to decide.

In fact, Chen Buyun is not important. What is important is that he happens to work in the Statistics Bureau. After Director Sun Yue died in a car accident, Feng Sizhe did want to bring the Municipal Statistics Bureau under his command. Now it can be said that the timing for Chen Buyun to join him is very right.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. So, when you go back, you should work as you should. As for other things, you don't have to think too much about it." Feng Sizhe knew that the Gansu people would not easily agree on the new candidates for the Municipal Statistics Bureau, so this matter was not that simple. Even if he was the secretary of the municipal party committee, he still needed to take a long-term view and do some necessary work.

Feng Sizhe didn't say he would find a way, nor did he say he didn't want to find a way, but just said he knew. This made Chen Buyun very uneasy, but he couldn't say much, after all, the level difference between him and Feng Sizhe was too great. "Okay, Secretary Feng, I will listen to you and work hard when I go back."

"Well, go ahead." Feng Sizhe gave Chen Buyun an encouraging look and sent him away.

After sending Chen Buyun away, Feng Sizhe began to think about the possibility of this person becoming the director of the Statistics Bureau. He knew that the Statistics Bureau was a very important unit in Tongda City, and it was impossible for the Gan faction to leave such a unit alone. They would definitely fight for this position. If this was the case, then things would be difficult to handle.

He picked up the office phone and called the Organization Minister Duan Hewei. Now in the Municipal Party Committee, apart from Commander Li Pwei who made that move in secret, he was the only one who could be called to discuss some things. Feng Sizhe didn't trust other people very much. Even the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Ru Honghai, he half trusted and half distrusted him.

Duan Hewei quickly came to the office of the municipal party secretary and looked at Feng Sizhe. "Secretary Feng, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Yes, I want to know how the Municipal Organization Department views the position of director after Sun Yue's death in a car accident." Feng Sizhe didn't need to beat around the bush with Duan Hewei.

"This is still under consideration. Deputy Secretary Mou Guoyang once called me and asked if Comrade Xu Yuquan, Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, could be considered for this position. I have not expressed my opinion on this matter immediately. I am also investigating this person and will report to you when there is a result." When Duan Yunpeng heard that it was this matter, he told him everything he knew.

"Xu Yuquan? As the only deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, he should be a deputy director-level cadre." Feng Sizhe thought of this person when he heard Duan Yunpeng say this.

"That's right. The only deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee is indeed at the division level. (Originally, this position should have been held by the secretary of the municipal party secretary, that is, Chen Guangming, but because Chen Guangming's qualifications were insufficient, there were originally two deputy secretaries-general but now there is only one.) In theory, with his level and qualifications, he is more than qualified to be the director of the Statistics Bureau. In theory, this person should be a potential future secretary-general of the municipal party committee." Duan Yunpeng agreed with Feng Sizhe's opinion.

Hearing Duan Yunpeng say this, Feng Sizhe felt a little embarrassed. If this were the case, wouldn't Chen Buyun and Xu Yuquan have no advantage in competing for the position of director of the Statistics Bureau? "Oh, so Xu Yuquan has a great chance of being elected?"

"That's not necessarily true. I originally thought so, but through the recent inspection of this cadre, the situation has changed a little." Duan Yunpeng said as if the matter could not be resolved in this way.

Hearing about the changes, Feng Sizhe perked up, "What changes? Tell me about them."

"Yes, that's the situation. Our Organization Department began to investigate Xu Yuquan according to Secretary Mou Guoyang's nomination. I don't know how the news got out. I think it should have come from Secretary Mou. After all, he is very confident in this position, so it does not rule out the possibility that he leaked the news. But because he leaked the news too early, our Organization Department unexpectedly received some letters reporting Comrade Xu Yuquan's violations of laws and disciplines during the investigation. These letters all said bad things about Xu Yuquan, and some even said that he had partnered with others to open a small coal mine, and this small coal mine had a safety accident that led to the death of people. Of course, these are just what the report said. It's hard to say whether the matter is really like this. Everything is still under investigation and verification."

"Then speed up the investigation and verification. If you need anything, just tell me." Hearing about such a thing, Feng Sizhe's mouth curled up with a smile. If these reporting materials are true, then the opportunity has really come. Maybe he can make an exchange with Mou Guoyang for this matter.
