Rebirth of the Rising Sun

As the third in command of the county government, he dared to interrupt the first in command of the county government and even shouted that he disagreed with the decision of the county governor. This was a rare thing. Even if the two of them were not in harmony, they still had to deal with such a scene. But what was unbelievable was that when Qi Hengsan said this, at least five deputy county governors immediately expressed their support.

Facing strong pressure and criticism from everyone, Fang Xianzhi was obviously very angry. But from the perspective of not being the county magistrate for the first time, he also knew that his words did not have much influence in the county government. So he had to swallow his anger and asked, "Oh, then if Deputy County Magistrate Qi has any different opinions, please raise them."

It is quite a strange thing that as a county magistrate, he has to listen to the speech of a deputy county magistrate who is a member of the standing committee at the deputy county magistrates' meeting.

Looking at this characteristic that is unique to Dahu County, Feng Sizhe sentenced Qi Hengsan to death in his heart. It is not impossible for a deputy county chief to be strong, but it depends on when. At least on the surface, you should maintain due respect for the county chief. Otherwise, if this gets out, you will be charged with usurping power. You will not only offend a county chief, but the entire political system. At that time, you will become known to everyone. As long as someone brings it up, I am afraid that everyone will take action to deal with you. Even if you have some background, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the fate of being sanctioned.

As for Qi Hengsan, I learned more from He Wenbao. For example, although he was only a deputy county chief who became a member of the Standing Committee, he actually had considerable power, because he was not only a representative of local cadres who had been promoted step by step in Dahu County, but also had backers in the city. Because of his sister-in-law, he became a brother-in-law with the secretary-general of the municipal party committee in the Yongyang Municipal Standing Committee. This alone gave him a certain backer, so he often acted like a tiger pretending to be powerful, and existed in Dahu County as a spokesperson for the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, surpassing many members of the Standing Committee.

Thinking that he could be so arrogant just by relying on a deputy department-level secretary-general, what else could Feng Sizhe say? Say that he was short-sighted or that he was sitting in a well and looking at the sky? It seemed that neither of them was appropriate. Such a person should be asked to jump. The higher he jumped, the worse he would fall. Looking at Qi Hengsan who was expounding on his theory with his teeth and claws bared, Feng Sizhe's eyes were more pitiful.

How could Qi Hengsan know what Feng Sizhe was thinking? He only remembered that during the morning meeting, Secretary Sun even deprived him of the right to vote, and he looked down on Feng Sizhe, who was much younger than him and had snatched his promotion position. With this resentment, he was thinking that he would interfere in any issue related to this person's appointment, and he would make him give up, and it would be best if he could report to his superiors and leave directly, so that he could regain the position of executive deputy county magistrate.

"Well, County Magistrate Fang, I do have a different opinion. Logically speaking, County Magistrate Xiao Feng is the executive deputy county magistrate sent by his superiors, and indeed he should have more responsibilities, but I think the environment in Dahu County is complex. If someone who doesn't know our county at all is allowed to manage some departments in a conventional way, it is obviously inappropriate and even unworkable. For this reason, I suggest that County Magistrate Xiao Feng first get familiar with the local conditions and customs of Dahu and understand the various characteristics of our place? I think after having a basic understanding of this place, County Magistrate Xiao Feng will be able to do things much more smoothly, at least he won't give blind orders or take detours."

Qi Hengsan refused to assign any work to Feng Sizhe because he didn't know Dahu. It was not wrong in theory, but it was a bit far-fetched. He was sent by the organization. Although he had just arrived, he could study while working. There was no reason to not assign any work to him. Just letting him hang there was really a bit of bullying. But such bullying words, spoken by Qi Hengsan, were so fair and just.

Fang Xianzhi himself had no intention of making Feng Sizhe look bad. Although Secretary Sun did not even give him the right to vote in the morning's Standing Committee meeting, the more this happened, the more likely he would win over this person. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and this is an eternal truth. But it would be inappropriate to speak for him rashly without understanding his mentality, so he wanted to ease the situation. "Well, what Deputy County Chief Qi said is not without some truth, but it is not entirely right. Well, in the spirit of full democracy, let me ask again, do other deputy county chiefs have any different opinions?"

Fang Xianzhi wanted to isolate Qi Hengsan by asking this question. After all, they were discussing the division of labor of a county party committee member and executive deputy county chief. Logically, no one else could make comments except him. When did the work of the leader have to be arranged by the subordinates? Qi Hengsan's transgression was somewhat unreasonable, but it was also an exception. Fang Xianzhi didn't believe that there would be other people who would dare to publicly comment on the division of labor of the executive deputy county chief in such an occasion?
