Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"What does Mayor Ji mean?" Wang Hua looked at Ji Fatang and asked. It was impossible to say that he didn't take this matter seriously at all. Although he knew that Tongtong took bribes, which meant that Ji Fatang took bribes, the idea of ​​taking state grain was not a trivial matter after all. Even with Ji Fatang's identity, if he didn't do it well, he would be ruined and even go to jail. If Ji Fatang took all the responsibility by himself, it would be fine, but if he bit himself and others, I'm afraid even his father wouldn't be able to help him. After all, the seriousness and influence of this matter were too great, so great that it couldn't be controlled by humans.

"What I mean, haha, is very simple. I can take care of this matter by myself, but the benefits you gave me before were too little, which made me feel unbalanced. I think you understand what I mean." Ji Fatang had a complete businessman's face at this moment, bargaining with Wang Hua and Shen Quan.

Wang Hua and Shen Quan breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Ji Fatang say that he was willing to take full responsibility for the matter. What they were most worried about was that Ji Fatang would expose them, but as long as that was not the case, nothing else mattered.

"Oh, then according to Mayor Ji, how much benefit do you want?" Wang Hua asked Ji Fatang again.

"It's very simple, because of this incident my second half of life might be ruined, so in order to compensate for my loss, I want each of you to pay 20 million, and a total of 40 million will be transferred to Tongtong's account. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you, I will drag you down with me even if I die." Ji Fatang was a man of few words, and when he opened his mouth, he made a huge request, directly asking for a bribe of 40 million.

"What?" Upon hearing Ji Fatang's loud tone, Wang Hua and Shen Quan both stood up excitedly.

"Come on, Mayor Ji, you are really asking for too much." Wang Hua said this loudly to Ji Fatang.

"That's right. My brother and I made some money from this grain purchase, but in total, each of us only got more than 30 million. Now we're going to give you 20 million at once. Aren't you the big winner?" Shen Quan was even more excited and directly stated the numbers.

"Yes, we brothers have mobilized a lot of connections in this matter, and you just nodded and tacitly agreed not to interfere. All aspects of the matter were taken care of by us brothers, and there are many people who have benefited from it. We two brothers took such a big risk and only got more than 30 million. Do you think you can ask for less?" Wang Hua was also outspoken. It was obvious that he felt distressed that he had to spend 20 million just for this mouth.

"Hahaha, that's enough, that's enough, what you said is enough." After hearing this, Ji Fatang suddenly laughed, as if he had found a treasure. Then his laughing face suddenly became more serious and formal, "Okay, Secretary Chang, Secretary Yu, you can come out now."

Just after Ji Fatang finished saying this, the door next to this seemingly hidden box was suddenly pushed open, and a group of men in black suits walked out. The one walking in front was Chang Ning, member of the Standing Committee of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and following him was Yu Shuwen, member of the Standing Committee of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Damn it, Ji Fatang, you dare to play tricks on us and get us to confess." Although Wang Hua didn't know Chang Ning, he did know Yu Shuwen. After seeing the clothes of the entourage, he understood what was going on. He immediately started to curse at Ji Fatang and even wanted to hit him. But the staff of the Commission for Discipline Inspection who followed him would not let Wang Hua succeed. Someone immediately held him down, and then Yu Shuwen spoke, "Wang Hua, Shen Quan, the two of you are suspected of being involved in the purchase case of the Zhuangcheng Grain Bureau. Now please cooperate with our investigation."

"Ji Fatang, I can't forgive you, and my father won't let you go either. And you are also involved in this matter. Do you think you can be innocent by doing this? This is wishful thinking." Shen Quan was also held down by the staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission, but he still cursed a few times at this time to vent his anger.

"Stop talking nonsense and take them out." Chang Ning said angrily and waved his hand. Wang Hua and Chang Ning were taken out.

After most people left, Chang Ning and Yu Shuwen came to Ji Fatang and said, "Comrade Ji Fatang, please come with us now and cooperate with our investigation." These words were said by Chang Ning. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he had the authority to do so.

"Okay." Ji Fatang was not in a hurry. He had already done everything as agreed with Feng Sizhe. He believed that Feng Sizhe would help him with the next things.

At the same time, Tongtong, who was in a residential area, was also secretly taken away by the staff of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Of course, the staff of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection did not use any forceful measures against this girl, and Tongtong seemed to have known this result and cooperated very well.

Everything that happened here was done in complete secrecy. All the leading cadres in Zhuangcheng City, except Feng Sizhe, were unaware of it. Even the municipal party secretary Wang Guoguang and deputy secretary Shen Yaping were completely unaware. They were still considering how to launch an attack on Feng Sizhe when the municipal party committee standing committee meeting was convened the next day.

Shen Quan was supposed to stay in Kyoto, so it was normal that he would not contact Shen Yaping for a while. Wang Hua should be in Zhuangcheng City, but this guy was away from home for three days and did not come back for one night, which did not attract the attention of Wang Guoguang and his lover. Obviously they were used to it.

The next day, the weather was clear. At nine o'clock in the morning, the No. 1 conference room of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee was crowded with people. The members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee were all sitting here, waiting for the relevant meeting to be held.

Today was the day Feng Sizhe had agreed to give an explanation to the Municipal Party Committee. Wang Guoguang and Shen Yaping could not wait any longer and asked the Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General Lin Gang to call everyone. In this way, the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members who had just started work received a phone call and everyone rushed to Conference Room No. 1. In fact, this time, the meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee originally turned into an enlarged meeting of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. The heads of the bureaus and districts and counties were urgently summoned by phone, and some district and county heads received the notice yesterday.

Compared to the atmosphere of previous meetings, everyone lowered their heads today. Perhaps everyone present understood what today's meeting was going to discuss. Faced with this somewhat heavy topic, no one showed any joy on their faces. Seeing this situation, many cadres who were smokers had to suppress their cravings and just sat there enduring it.

At nine o'clock, the secretary of Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Guoguang arrived, followed by Sun Tao, the director of the Second Comprehensive Department of Zhongzhou Provincial Government. Seeing this person also came, everyone at the meeting showed surprise on their faces. Sun Tao's arrival usually proves that his boss will also come. Sure enough, after the two of them, Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee Member, Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee Wang Guoguang accompanied Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee Member, Provincial Government Executive Vice Governor Gao Fengli appeared in front of everyone. Sun Tao is Gao Fengli's secretary, and it is normal for him to come to the front.

Feng Sizhe sat in the first position on the lower left. When he saw Gao Fengli showed up, he couldn't help but sneer. It was obvious that Wang Guoguang had invested a lot of money this time and even invited the executive vice governor. With two members of the provincial party committee sitting in the group, it was obvious that he was going to take action against him.

With the arrival of Gao Fengli, the atmosphere at the meeting became more serious. Wang Guoguang was indeed very happy. He first asked Gao Fengli to take a seat, then looked at everyone and said, "Let's all give the warmest applause to welcome Governor Gao to our Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee."

"Clap, clap." A burst of applause came and was given to Gao Fengli, and Gao Fengli himself half stood up and apologized, obviously showing his majesty as the vice governor of a province.

After the welcome, Wang Guoguang presided over the meeting. He said very seriously, "Comrades, a while ago, our city's grain bureau had serious problems. Some cadres ignored the country's policies, the laws and the foundation of our city, and the lives of the people for their own selfish interests. They even took up the grain purchase money to make a fuss. Last year, the grain department did not collect a single grain. All of them were supplemented with old grain from the previous year, so that a lot of grain in the warehouse of the Municipal Grain Bureau showed signs of mold. As soon as this incident happened, it immediately attracted the attention of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Even the provincial government has attached great importance to this matter. This incident has also brought extremely bad effects to our Zhuangcheng City. Regarding this matter, the State Grain Reserves Administration also sent a telegram this morning, questioning what happened, and gave us a deadline to give an explanation for our Zhuangcheng City. Even some old leaders of the central government have paid attention to this matter. Comrades, it's shameful. Good news doesn't go out, but bad news spreads a thousand miles. I'm afraid that our Zhuangcheng City will really be famous in a while."

Right from the start, Wang Guoguang exaggerated the matter to be extremely serious, obviously in order to put more pressure on Feng Sizhe. This matter happened in your municipal government, and now it has caused such a bad impact, so as the mayor, don't you have to give everyone an explanation? It's not excessive for you to resign.

As soon as Wang Guoguang finished saying this, everyone turned their eyes to Feng Sizhe. Everyone could sense that today's meeting was held for Feng Sizhe, in order to expel Feng Sizhe from Zhuangcheng City.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Feng Sizhe took the teacup on the table and drank it calmly, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
