Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Come to think of it, just listen to others and don't express your opinion, what else can others do to you, so he got into Hong Tao's car. In the car, the driver and secretary were gone, and there were only the two of them in the car.

Hong Tao also knew that he and Deng Lei were not of the same kind, so it was useless to make any nice opening remarks. So he went straight to the point and told them that Ru Honghai had already joined forces with the Gansu faction.

Deng Lei naturally didn't believe what Hong Tao said, because he couldn't understand why Hong Tao, who was from the Gan faction, told him this. "Secretary Hong, do you think I will believe what you said? I tell you, I respect Mayor Ru very much, and I won't doubt him."

"Okay, it's your business to respect, but what I said is the truth. As for why Mayor Ru would say this to the Gan faction, think about the Municipal People's Congress that will be held soon after the New Year. Without the support of the Gan faction, do you think Ru Honghai will be passed with a high vote? If by then the number of votes in support does not even reach half, I'm afraid Mayor Ru will find it difficult to accept it, right?" Hong Tao said these words with a pointed attitude.

"Secretary Hong, do you mean that Mayor Ru reached an agreement with your Gansu faction because of the Municipal People's Congress? If that's the case, why did you tell me all this?" Deng Lei understood some of what he heard, but he still didn't understand why Hong Tao told him this.

"I just can't stand some people. Okay, I've told you everything I should say. You can figure out what to do next." Hong Tao didn't want to say too much to Deng Lei. If it weren't for the fact that he hated Yang Chao, he wouldn't have anything to do with Deng Lei as they were from a different family. It was easy for the two of them to talk to each other like this.

Deng Lei stood by the river, watching Hong Tao's car go, then quickly returned to his own car and headed back to the city government. He would not easily believe what Hong Tao said, he still had to observe himself to see if things were really as Hong Tao said.

Deng Lei observed that Yang Chao, who had always been at odds with Mayor Ru, had been in the mayor's office three times this morning, and each time he stayed there for quite a while. It was obvious that Hong Tao was not lying. When Yang Chao walked into the mayor's office the fourth time, Deng Lei followed him in.

Mayor Ru's secretary recognized Deng Lei and knew that he was a favorite of the leader, so he did not stop Deng Lei from entering the mayor's office, but just said that Deputy Mayor Yang was inside. Deng Lei replied that he was called by Mayor Ru. So the secretary did not block him, allowing Deng Lei to enter the mayor's office smoothly. When he suddenly entered, he saw Ru Honghai and Yang Chao lying on the office table and revising a document together.

Deng Lei's sudden entrance really scared Ru Honghai. "Mayor Deng, how did you get in?"

"What? The mayor's office no longer welcomes me? If so, I'll just leave." Seeing that everything was just as Hong Tao said, Ru Honghai was indeed together with Yang Chao. Deng Lei was very sad. He was transferred to Tongda City by the Qin faction to cooperate with Ru Honghai in taking charge of the municipal government, but now Ru Honghai was the first to vote. What else could he say?

Seeing Deng Lei turn around and leave after he finished speaking, Ru Honghai quickly said, "Mayor Deng, please stay. What are you talking about? How can you not be welcome here? Come, take a seat. I'm thinking of discussing something with you."

Ru Honghai forced Deng Lei to stay. In fact, Deng Lei wanted to hear Ru Honghai's explanation, so he let him pull him over.

Yang Chao was also sensible. When he saw the situation, he said that he had some things to do and would be back later, and then he left. When they were alone in the office, Ru Honghai spoke up, "Old Deng, please don't misunderstand me. I am with Deputy Mayor Yang out of necessity. We are here for work."

"For work, is it for work or for your position as mayor? Are you afraid that the title of acting mayor won't be removed from your head at the National People's Congress in March, so you become an accomplice of the Gan faction?" Deng Lei was very angry at the moment, so he inevitably spoke impulsively and forgot his identity for a moment.

Ru Honghai is the mayor of a city anyway. How can he remain silent when being criticized by the deputy mayor Deng Lei? "Comrade Deng Lei, what are you talking about? What do you mean by accomplice? I'm telling you, Comrade Yang Chao and I were talking about serious matters, not conspiring to do something shameful."

"Really? Since it's not something shameful, could you tell me about it? I think as a deputy mayor, I should have the power to do so." Seeing Ru Honghai's righteous look, Deng Lei wanted to take the opportunity to see what they were discussing and whether it was really what Hong Tao said.

"Okay, I was just about to tell you when everything is ready. Now that you're here, I might as well tell you." Originally, Ru Honghai had no intention of hiding it from Deng Lei, but he was not satisfied with the document handed over by Yang Chao, so he revised it again and again. He originally wanted to talk to Deng Lei after the revisions were completed, but now that he was here, he might as well tell him directly.

Next, Ru Honghai told Deng Lei about his opposition to the central government's decision to take action on the 18 unused coal mining licenses. "Old Deng, you know that the main function and focus of the municipal government is to develop the economy of a city. Now that I have come to Tongda City, I should think about how to improve the economic work of Tongda City and keep the economy going upward, rather than stagnating the economic work here for the sake of a safety production issue. Therefore, I am opposed to the central government's decision announced by Comrade Feng Sizhe. Comrade Yang Chao has the same idea as me, so we are revising the resolution together, thinking about reporting the problem to the province, and then the province will report the problem to the central government, reporting it layer by layer, which is also in line with the principles of organizational work."

Ru Honghai was still talking here, still saying that everything was for the sake of the city's economic work. If it was before, Deng Lei might have believed it, but now seeing Ru Honghai, who was so close to the Gan family, still had the nerve to say these words, he was really a little angry. He felt that Ru Honghai was insulting his IQ and was basically treating him like a fool. He said such words that even a three-year-old child would not believe to deceive himself. Is this interesting? Think about it, I'm afraid that others have never looked up to me.

"Mayor Ru, let me remind you that you'd better tell me the truth and don't beat around the bush under the guise of doing everything for the city's economy. Also, have you ever thought about how our superiors view this matter? Secretary Feng's move completely broke the Gansu faction's good plan to control the coal industry in Tongda City, but it was denied by you saying it would affect the city's economy. More importantly, Secretary Feng did this for the sake of the miners' production safety and life safety. Besides, with the entry of the five large coal mining companies, Tongda City's economy will not lag behind, but will only grow. So don't you think the reasons you gave are too far-fetched? Do you think I will believe them?" Deng Lei looked at Ru Honghai, ready to compete with him on this issue of principle. At the same time, he was making his final effort to remind Ru Honghai that what you did had violated the original intention of the Qin faction to send you down.

"Okay, Comrade Deng Lei, don't preach to me about these big principles. I understand them better than you. The document is about to be revised and will be sent to the province immediately. If you agree, just sign it. If you disagree, don't say anything. I still have to continue working." Seeing that Deng Lei didn't listen to his words of persuasion, Ru Honghai got angry. After all, he was the head of a city. Although he had the word "acting" on his head, this did not negate the fact that he was the mayor. Under such circumstances, how could he allow a deputy to point fingers at him?

Deng Lei really couldn't expect Ru Honghai to say such words to him. To be honest, he said all this for the other person's good. Now, not only does the other person not appreciate it, but he looks indifferent and even hates him a little. It seems that he was really blinded by the Gansu people and gave up everything for the position of mayor, which includes mission, belief, and of course responsibility.

Well, since the other party is determined, he has nothing to say. In this case, he will report the problem directly to the Qin faction, and everything will wait for the decision from above.

"Mayor Ru, you'd better take care of yourself." After throwing down these words, Deng Lei turned around and left.

Seeing Deng Lei leave like this, Ru Honghai said angrily, "It's up to you. Do whatever you want. Even if you go to complain, I won't be afraid."

Deng Lei returned to his office very angrily. As soon as he entered the office, he picked up the office phone and called Ren Tianfang, deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee.

As the secretary of Comrade Qin Xianghua, Ren Tianfang has always been one of the most trusted cadres of the Qin faction. Many matters of the Qin faction have to go through his hands, so it is normal for Deng Lei to call him.

After receiving Deng Lei's report, Ren Tianfang said, "Comrade Deng Lei, the leader is very busy right now, and I'm afraid he may not have time to answer your call. I will find a chance to report your matter to the leader, and now all you have to do is wait. Before the higher-ups make a decision, don't act rashly, lest you be laughed at by others."
