Rebirth of the Rising Sun

When Feng Sizhe heard that it was the provincial party committee and the organization that wanted to talk to him, he straightened up again and seemed much more formal. "Secretary Luo, please give me your instructions if you have anything to say."

"Well, Sizhe, the death of Liu Shuang, the propaganda minister of Tongda City, has had a certain impact on your work. In addition, there were some misunderstandings in the middle, so we had no choice but to suspend you for half a month. However, after investigation, we found that you had no direct relationship with the incident, so you can be reinstated now and can return to Tongda City to continue working. This time, you have suffered some grievances. I would like to express my condolences to you on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee. How about it? Do you have any requests? If you do, please feel free to ask. I will see if I can help you convey them to your superiors."

Luo Hao thought that Feng Sizhe could take this opportunity to make some requests. After all, the provincial party committee suspected him this time and suspended him from his post for half a month, but in the end, no problems were found. On the contrary, Feng Sizhe himself was almost killed in a bombing while on vacation in Beijing. For all this, the Sanfan Provincial Party Committee felt a little sorry for Feng Sizhe. With such an opportunity, as long as the requests made by Feng Sizhe were not too excessive, I believe the provincial party committee would consider it.

Feng Sizhe knew that Luo Hao said this for his own good. He thought that this opportunity should not be wasted. He thought that Liu Shuang had just died and the position of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee member and Propaganda Minister had been vacant. If he tried to fight for it now, it should not be a problem. So he said to Luo Hao, "Secretary Luo, thank the Provincial Party Committee for its understanding and trust in me. Since you let me put forward conditions, I will put forward the following conditions. In view of the fact that Comrade Liu Shuang is gone, the position of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department cannot remain vacant. So I suggest that Comrade He Wenbao, who used to work with me and is now the Deputy Director of the State Council's Foreign-funded Bank Preparatory Bureau, be appointed as the Propaganda Minister."

The reason why Feng Sizhe mentioned He Wenbao was not a sudden thought. During his return to Beijing this time, He Wenbao had come to see him. The two of them sat in a teahouse for an entire afternoon. During that time, He Wenbao expressed his desire to change his job unit, especially to work with Feng Sizhe.

Ever since Feng Sizhe left the State Council Foreign-funded Bank Preparatory Office, He Wenbao has been working there and has been serving as deputy director (director) for several years. In these years, he watched Feng Sizhe first serve as executive vice mayor and mayor of Haibei City, then mayor of Lianhua City, and then secretary of the Tongda City Municipal Party Committee, but he has never moved, and he felt jealous. He was not jealous, but really wanted to do something practical with Feng Sizhe. Relatively speaking, the Foreign-funded Bank Preparatory Office has been put on the right track, and his daily work is not very busy. For a middle-aged cadre in his prime, this kind of work is not very suitable for him, so he took this opportunity to return to Beijing to express his grievances and hopes to Feng Sizhe.

He Wenbao had known Feng Sizhe since he first entered the officialdom in Dahu County. The two had always had a good relationship. He was even familiar with He Wenbao's lover, Wang Hong. Feng Sizhe could easily use such a person who knew him well, so he took this opportunity today to make this request.

It is normal for cadres from the central government to be promoted to a higher rank when they come to work in local areas. Besides, He Wenbao has been working in a director position for several years, so he should be promoted according to his seniority. However, although there was nothing wrong with He Wenbao, Luo Hao still shook his head and looked a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Secretary Luo, is this request excessive?" Looking at He Wenbao, Feng Sizhe asked with some confusion.

"Oh, the request is not excessive. As the secretary of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee, you have great decision-making power over the appointment and removal of Tongda cadres. It's just that... you also know that the previous minister, Liu Shuang, was sent by the provincial propaganda minister, Comrade Yu Guijuan. Now Comrade Liu Shuang is gone, and the cause of her death has not been found out yet. Under such circumstances, if you promote someone to be the propaganda minister, I am afraid there will be a lot of opposition."

Luo Hao had his considerations. If Feng Sizhe, who was already suspected of being the murderer, recommended the city's propaganda minister, wouldn't that cause people to gossip? Inevitably, some people would say that Feng Sizhe wanted to promote his confidant to this position, so he killed Liu Shuang. If such rumors spread, it would be detrimental to Feng Sizhe's work.

After listening to Luo Hao's words, Feng Sizhe felt that there was some truth in it, but he thought about it carefully again. This was actually an opportunity, an opportunity to drive a nail into Tongda City, and he couldn't let it go easily. He originally wanted to wait until some time later to find out the problem with Mou Guoyang before releasing the video of his last meeting with Liu Shuang to the public. Now it seems that he can't wait until that time.

"Well, Secretary Luo has considered it, but I have something here. I believe that after Secretary Luo reads it, he will not have this concern." As he spoke, Feng Sizhe called Chen Guangming in front of Luo Hao and asked him to send the burned videotape to Secretary Luo's office upstairs.

In Secretary Luo's office, on the TV, Luo Hao and Feng Sizhe saw the deceased Liu Shuang and heard her last words. After watching all this and looking at the date on the videotape, Luo Hao stood up in astonishment, "Sizhe, you had such important evidence, why didn't you show it to me at the time?"

"Secretary Luo, I originally thought that since Comrade Liu Shuang is no longer with us, even if I took it out, it wouldn't be very meaningful. It would be better to give me some time to investigate and then show it together with the evidence of Mou Guoyang's crime. But after listening to what you said just now, I made up my mind to take out this tape early."

Listening to Feng Sizhe's explanation, Luo Hao nodded, as if he understood. After thinking for a while, he said, "Sizhe, if you must promote He Wenbao this time, then this tape must be made public, otherwise it will not be enough to suppress the voices of opposition from below."

"I understand. I agree to make this tape public. I believe that what is black is black. As long as Mou Guoyang has committed a crime, we can definitely find evidence of his guilt." Feng Sizhe said with a firm attitude.

"Okay, then I'll show the tape to Secretary Kang and Governor Zheng right away. Please wait a moment." When Luo Hao heard Feng Sizhe agree to make the tape public, he hurriedly wanted to report the matter to the provincial party secretary and the governor. Think about it, if this matter is resolved, then there will be no doubts about Feng Sizhe, which will be beneficial to many subsequent tasks.

No one would have thought that Feng Sizhe actually had such a tape with him. He actually recorded the entire process of his final meeting with Liu Shuang. With this videotape, everything seemed to be clear. Although it was still impossible to determine who harmed Comrade Liu Shuang, at least Feng Sizhe was no longer a suspect.

After watching the tape, Yu Guijuan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department, shed tears again. Then she said something silently. She did not object to Luo Hao's suggestion that Feng Sizhe recommend Comrade He Wenbao to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Tongda Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department. Of course, she did not express her support either.

However, as the provincial propaganda minister, she did not object to this matter, so it was basically settled. He Wenbao, who was working at the State Council's Foreign Investment Construction Bureau, was transferred to Tongda City by a piece of paper. Of course, he was very happy.

The formalities were handled quickly. On the third day after Feng Sizhe returned to Tongda, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department sent a deputy minister to escort He Wenbao to Tongda. So after Liu Shuang's bizarre death and Feng Sizhe's suspension for half a day, the political situation in Tongda City changed to a certain extent. Now, in terms of ranking, the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee are: Feng Sizhe, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and First Secretary of the Military Sub-district Party Committee; Mayor Ru Honghai; Mou Guoyang, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee; Hong Tao, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection; Liu Xiangang, Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission; Deng Lei, Executive Deputy Mayor of the Municipal Government; Duan Hewei, Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department; He Wenbao, Minister of the Municipal Propaganda Department; Wang Lixue, Minister of the Municipal United Front Work Department; Zhang Yi, Deputy Mayor of the Municipal Government, Guan Haojiang, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee; Pan Jianshan, Member of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Tongshan District Party Committee; and Li Pwei, Commander of the Military Sub-district.

The Feng faction and those who were pro-Feng faction completely occupied the majority, defeating the Gan faction with an advantage of eight to five.

Mou Guoyang and others had never expected such a result. They thought that Liu Shuang's death would cause great trouble to Feng Sizhe. Even if they couldn't do anything to this person, at least there was hope to transfer Feng Sizhe away. At worst, they would make Feng Sizhe keep a low profile. But no one expected such a result.

Seeing that the situation in Tongda City was getting harder and harder to control, Mou Guoyang could only sigh. With that brand of videotape, he had no choice but to keep his tail between his legs. Of course, Mou Guoyang still had to be investigated in this matter, but he was from Gansu and had many people supporting him in the province. It was not so easy to investigate him. It was just a tape, and there was no real evidence, so there was no way to deal with him.

After Feng Sizhe returned to Tongda City for the second time, he came out in a situation that he was in complete control of the situation in Tongda City. He appeared in various occasions as the number one in Tongda City. Tongda City finally entered the Feng Sizhe era more than a year after Feng Sizhe came to Tongda City.

For Feng Guozhe, who has completely controlled Tongda City, he now has a lot to do. In addition to cracking down on the Gansu faction with all his strength and preventing them from rising, he also needs to consolidate the regularization of the coal industry in Tongda City, prevent and eliminate as much as possible hidden dangers in production safety, and at the same time he has to do one big thing, which is to implement the financial and government affairs disclosure system in Tongda City.
