Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"I support Comrade Wang Wei." Provincial Party Secretary Guan Changxiao fulfilled his promise to Tang Chengwei. He directly stated his position and then started drinking water from the cup.

Seeing Guan Changxiao's serious promise, Tang Chengwei was naturally very happy. "Well, I also support Comrade Wang Wei. I know this comrade quite well. He has a broad perspective and is careful and principled in his work. Of course, everyone has shortcomings, but he can still grasp the direction in major principles and major issues."

The provincial party secretary and the governor actually recommended the same person. Basically, once such a thing happens, the matter is settled. Of course, Zhongzhou Province is no exception. The squad leader and the deputy squad leader have made a decision, and naturally the others should abide by it. But today's meeting is an exception. Everyone present is a shrewd person, knowledgeable, and has experienced many ups and downs. Sometimes when a leader shakes hands with someone for a longer time, they will have different reactions, not to mention that Wang Wei made such a big deal the day before yesterday.

"Yes, I also recommend Comrade Wang Wei to be the Secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee." Executive Vice Governor Gao Fengli also expressed his opinion at the right time. It can be seen that his agreement was just a show, because he did not say what his reasons were. If he really recommended, he should have said something good for Wang Wei at this time. But he did not say it, which has already proved his attitude.

That's three votes, and they are three very heavyweight votes, all supporting Wang Wei. This situation makes Tang Chengwei very happy and excited. It is said that Feng Sizhe should not be provoked. This person has great power, but at least he has not seen it yet. On the contrary, what he saw was Feng Sizhe who was thinking about something with his head down. This should be the situation that stunned him.

Is Feng Sizhe really confused? Of course not, he is thinking about something. Yesterday in Jianghuai Province, he met his father-in-law, Comrade He Shengli, the commander of the Central Plains Military Region. After learning about the situation here, He Shengli said, "When looking at a person, you can't just look at the good side of the person, you also have to pay attention to the person's shortcomings, because shortcomings are often the existence that shows a person's true level. And Wang Wei will not recognize the six clears when he drinks a lot, and he is the second in command after the sky is the boss, so he can't achieve anything big. If such a person is given a higher power, you can imagine what kind of performance he will have.

He Shengli was obviously angry about Wang Wei's treatment of his daughter. Of course, he was a military cadre and couldn't interfere too much in local affairs. He could only say a few words. Feng Sizhe understood this, so he promised He Shasha that he would teach Wang Wei a lesson.

That being said, Feng Sizhe still had a headache, because Guan Changxiao had said the Miao family's attitude on this matter. Appropriate support for Tang Chengwei's work was a concession from the Miao family to the Wen family in the central government. After all, he was also the governor sent by the Party Central Committee, appointed by the organization and elected by the National People's Congress. If he was hit as worthless, it would seem to be a slap in the face of the central government, which would give some people a reason to fight back, which would be extremely detrimental to Feng Sizhe's future development. Therefore, it was most important to strike Wang Wei but not let Tang Chengwei lose too much face, and how to do this became a difficult problem. This was what Feng Sizhe was thinking about, how to have the best of both worlds.

While Feng Sizhe was thinking about these questions, Ji Changsheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the United Front Work Department, spoke up, "I support Comrade Wang Wei."

Ji Changsheng has always been a centrist in the provincial party committee. Unless the provincial party secretary and the governor have made their attitude towards a matter clear, he usually abstains from voting. Therefore, it is understandable that he can vote for Wang Wei now. After all, he is also maintaining the authority of the provincial party secretary and the governor.

With Ji Changsheng's support, Wang Wei had four votes, which brought him closer to a majority. Tang Chengwei smiled, because he could tell from Ji Changsheng's choice that Feng Sizhe didn't seem to have done much work. If it was just based on the few votes in his hands, then he was sorry, he didn't have half the votes and couldn't negate the resolution.

Tang Chengwei knew very well that as long as Feng Sizhe did not get more than half of the votes, even if the number of people supporting Wang Wei was less than half, Wang Wei would still be the secretary in the end. After all, the secretary and governor of a province all supported this comrade, so relatively speaking, he still had priority.

Tang Chengwei had a smile on his face, and there was a little more expectation in his eyes when he looked at everyone. He hoped that more people would vote for him. As the saying goes, you get what you want. Just when Tang Chengwei had hope, someone really took the attitude of continuing to support him, "I also support the appointment of Comrade Wang Wei."

The person who said this was Su Yang, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Like Ji Changsheng, he was mostly neutral. At this moment, he might have the same idea as Ji Changsheng. Since the secretary and the governor had reached an agreement, there was no need for them to block it. It would be good to support them directly.

Five votes. If there are two votes in favor, Wang Wei's case is basically settled, and at this time, Tang Chengwei basically has a victory attitude. In his opinion, as long as there are one or two neutral comrades or supporters of his side, Feng Sizhe will not be able to do anything.

Tang Chengwei had a smile of victory on his face, which was seen by Feng Sizhe. Seeing that this man actually underestimated himself, Feng Sizhe immediately turned his gaze to Lv Xianwen who was sitting on the right side of the provincial party secretary. It was time to exert his strength, he had performed everything he should have performed, and he had given hope to the other party. The next step was to let the other party know what it meant to pour a bucket of cold water on his head and what the real meaning of this sentence was.

Lv Xianwen, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, who was sitting there, had been waiting for Feng Sizhe's signal. Seeing comrades standing up one after another to express their support for Wang Wei, he was a little anxious. This situation seemed inconsistent with what Feng Sizhe had communicated with him before. Could it be that the young man had miscalculated this time? Now, after receiving the signal, he immediately straightened his body and said, "I support Comrade Sun Zhongping as the secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee. He has very rich work experience, especially in Yongyang City. He has served as deputy mayor, standing deputy mayor, executive deputy mayor, and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. It can be said that he is very familiar with personnel work. In addition, he is now the mayor. The position of secretary of the municipal party committee is vacant, and he should be the successor. For this reason, I recommend Comrade Sun Zhongping as the candidate for secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee."

"I support this suggestion. Comrade Sun Zhongping is more suitable to be the secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee." Immediately after Lu Xianwen finished speaking, Propaganda Minister Lu Qingfei expressed his opinion.

"I support Comrade Sun Zhongping. He used to be my colleague and I know him well. In terms of his overall view and prudence in doing things, he is indeed the best candidate for the position of secretary." Following Lü Xianwen and Lu Qingfei, the commander of the provincial military region, Jin Dake, also took the initiative to step forward and expressed his opinion.

"Well, as the former secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee, I also have a very deep understanding of Comrade Sun Zhongping. This comrade is just as Comrade Jin Dake said, he has strong political integrity, open-mindedness, and discipline in doing things. I approve of him." Needless to say, the person who said this was Chang Ning, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, who had served as the mayor of Yongyang and also the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

The situation changed in an instant. The people supporting Sun Zhongping had four votes, only one vote short of Wang Wei's. And it was obvious that Feng Sizhe would not support Wang Wei. So it was a tie of five to five. This situation made Tang Chengwei's heart beat faster. He knew that the time to decide the winner had come.

As expected by everyone, Feng Sizhe stood up and said, "In my personal opinion, I support Comrade Sun Zhongping as the secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee. After all, he has worked there for many years and is very familiar with the situation there. If he is the secretary, I think the work will be carried out better and it will also have a positive effect on the stability of Yongyang City."

After saying this, Feng Sizhe looked at everyone politely, his gentlemanly temperament was undoubtedly revealed, especially he nodded to Tang Chengwei deliberately. This seemed to be a polite act, but in fact it was full of provocation, which made Tang Chengwei feel very uncomfortable.

However, what happened next made Tang Chengwei even more uncomfortable. After Feng Sizhe expressed his position, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister Ji Ming, the Standing Committee Member and Vice Governor Wan Erlun, and the Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General Wen Xueyong all expressed their views. In fact, their views were the same, that is, they supported Sun Zhongping as the municipal party committee secretary.

Eight to five, it was clear who would win and who would lose. Wang Wei, who was supported by Tang Chengwei, lost, which meant he lost. When he learned the result, he leaned back in his chair, feeling indescribable pain and discomfort.

"Okay, now that we have a result, I will announce that Comrade Sun Zhongping will be the secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee. Of course, when he becomes the secretary, he will have to give up the position of mayor. I think we should let Comrade Wang Wei take the position. What do you think?" Provincial Party Committee Secretary Guan Changxiao took into account the feelings of all parties and proposed another proposal. Of course, he mainly made this proposal to Feng Sizhe. After all, Wang Wei had offended him a lot. If Feng Sizhe did not agree at this moment, this decision might not be implemented.

At this moment, Tang Chengwei, who had just looked dejected, became energetic again. This meant that he had to settle for the second best. If he failed to get the position of mayor this time, he really didn't know how to explain it and how others would look at him. So at this moment, he also stared at Feng Sizhe, hoping that he would not say no again, otherwise, his authority as the governor would be gone.
