Rebirth of the Rising Sun

While Denghai City was busy welcoming Feng Sizhe, he had already arrived at the outskirts of Denghai City with a group of four people in a car. The four people in the group were Feng Sizhe himself, the driver Li Shuang, the secretary Liu Fei and the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee Guo Xiaoting.

Feng Sizhe was very satisfied with Guo Xiaoting. This man was serious and responsible in his work, and most importantly, he was upright in his bones. He admired this kind of cadre, so he wanted to keep him by his side and train him. If there was a suitable opportunity, he might as well make use of him.

This time he asked to go to the local area not just to go through the motions and get acquainted with the people there, he wanted to take a good look at the real problems there, he came with the intention of solving some problems. So he asked the municipal party secretary Lin Gang to lead the motorcade from the main road, while he quietly came to the suburbs of Denghai City with a limited number of people, this time he wanted to see the education problems here.

After what happened to Xiao Yueqing in Class 8 of the first year last time, Feng Sizhe really wanted to know whether such things were happening in the units below.

This is a primary school, named Denghai Suburban No. 1 Primary School. The sign is hanging. Maybe because it has been there for a long time, the nails that fix the sign have become loose, and it flutters when the wind blows.

The ordinary Audi stopped at the school gate, and Feng Sizhe and his four companions walked into the school. Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the old man in the school gate reception room, who immediately ran out to greet Feng Sizhe and others, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Oh, uncle, we are from the Zhuangcheng Municipal Committee. We just happened to pass by here and wanted to take a look at the situation inside." Secretary Liu Fei replied quickly. Seeing that the old man was over 60 years old, the word "uncle" was appropriate.

Long before coming, Feng Sizhe had reached a consensus that they should not report their identities first, but just say that they were from the Zhuangcheng Municipal Committee. This way it wouldn't be false.

When he heard that it was a cadre from the Zhuangcheng Municipal Committee, the old man smiled and said, "So it's a senior leader. Wait a moment, I'll call the school leaders and ask them to come out to greet you."

"No need, uncle, we are just here to take a look and leave." Feng Sizhe stopped the old man with a smile. If they invited the school leaders here without seeing anything, they might not have time to see anything later. Besides, this was a private visit. If everything was good here, they would leave soon and would not stay for long.

Next, the driver Li Shuang cleverly offered the old man a cigarette and learned from the conversation that the old man's surname was Liu and he had worked in the school's message room for more than 20 years. After he retired, he was re-hired by the school, which was considered an extra source of income.

"Uncle, the building of your school doesn't seem to be very good." After entering the gate, Feng Sizhe couldn't help but frowned when he saw the somewhat dilapidated school.

"Hey, isn't it all because of lack of money? To be honest, I have worked here for more than 20 years, but it is still the same as when I came here. I felt it was not bad when I first came here, but then society developed and progressed, but the school did not add any bricks or tiles. Compared with the changes in the outside world, it seems much more backward. What's more important is that once it rains or blows, it will be dangerous. Some classrooms will leak. Let the children study in such an environment. It is really our responsibility that we have not done our job well."

Although the old man is just a janitor, he has worked here for more than 20 years and obviously has a deep feeling for this place. He thinks that since Feng Sizhe and others are city cadres, they should have more ideas. If they tell them about their troubles, maybe there will be money to transfer to the school, and in this way, the environment here may be changed.

Feng Sizhe was stunned when he heard that there had been no investment for more than 20 years. It was true that he didn't know about the past, but since he took office as the mayor of Zhuangcheng, he had allocated a sum of money to the education department to let them renovate some schools with poor environment and conditions. He also saw the report sent back from the Education Bureau, which stated that all schools in the five cities, seven districts and three counties of Zhuangcheng had been checked, and some schools with poor environment and conditions had been repaired. The report also stated that due to limited funds, many basic problems could not be solved.

After reading the report, Feng Sizhe asked the Municipal Finance Bureau to allocate a sum of money. In his opinion, students are the hope of the future of the motherland, and their education and educational environment must not be relaxed. Therefore, he drew a large amount of funds from the already poor Municipal Finance Bureau. He had only one requirement, that is, to create a good environment for students. But now it seems that this place has become a corner forgotten by others. At least Uncle Liu said that there has been no bricks or tiles added here for more than 20 years.

Feng Sizhe, looking unhappy, walked into a classroom where a self-study class was in progress.

The space in this classroom is OK, and it is basically the same as some regular schools, but their desks, chairs and blackboards are really old. The desks are made of some wooden strips, and they have long lost their color. Many of their chairs have no backrests, and they look like a very simple wooden stool. And the blackboard has been used for who knows how many years. The words written on it are not very clear, especially the students in the back row. It is really doubtful whether they can see it. And dozens of students are squeezed in such an environment and study with their heads down.

Speaking of schools, Feng Sizhe had seen a lot of them. Wherever he took office, he had visited a school. However, this was the first time he had seen such a simple school. He looked up at the sky. It was broad daylight and the weather was good. There was even a ray of sunlight refracted through the roof. It was obvious that if it rained, there must be a leak.

Looking at such a school and such an environment, Feng Sizhe immediately got angry, "Assholes, what a bunch of assholes, where did all the money used to build the school go? Did they feed it to the dogs?" Feng Sizhe couldn't help but want to curse.

When Feng Sizhe said this, all the children in the class looked at him. They didn't know why this uncle suddenly got so angry. They had always studied in such an environment before and had long been accustomed to it. They didn't feel anything.

Uncle Liu also sensed that something was wrong with Feng Sizhe, and quickly said, "Hey, city leaders, let's get out first and not delay the children's studies."

"Yeah." Feng Sizhe nodded, walked out of the classroom, and came to the center of the so-called playground, which was the square in front of the school. Seeing that it was overgrown with weeds, he immediately said to Liu Fei beside him, "Call Comrade Lin Gang and ask him to bring the leadership team of Denghai City here. I will wait for them here."

Feng Sizhe got angry, and Liu Fei immediately made a phone call. This was not the time to waste time.

Guo Xiaoting also came to Feng Sizhe and said, "Secretary, I think the Municipal Finance Bureau and the Municipal Education Bureau must have sent this money. However, there may be some problems with the Denghai Municipal Education Bureau. You should be mentally prepared."

Guo Xiaoting was reminding that there must be a reason for this incident, and the money was most likely embezzled by someone. If the leaders of the Education Bureau were the only ones involved, they might not have the courage to do so. If things go wrong, the main leaders of Denghai City might also be involved. If this is the case, things will be difficult to handle. Should they just go through the motions to solve the problem, or should they really catch a few people and make an example of them? They should be mentally prepared in advance.

"Well, I know. This time we must get to the bottom of the problem, no matter who is involved. People who take the country's education money and the children's money are not worthy of being cadres of our party." How could Feng Sizhe not know that this matter might involve a wide range of people? It's just that he emphasizes one thing when being an official, that is, he must do things according to his conscience. If someone fails to take the interests of the people seriously, then he will not take the interests of that person seriously. This is called tit for tat.

Liu Fei made the call and soon got back to Feng Sizhe, "Boss, Secretary-General Lin has brought the cadres from Denghai City here."

"Well, very good." Feng Sizhe nodded, and asked Guo Xiaoting to contact the school principal and financial director to ask if the city had recently allocated money and they had no time to renovate. After all, many things need to be investigated before they can be concluded. Otherwise, it is likely to cause a joke.

At the gate of Denghai Municipal Party Committee, Miao Wenshi and Song Yifu accompanied Lin Gang into the gate. They had a unique smile on their faces. Originally, this smile was intended for Feng Sizhe. After all, he was in the limelight now, but even the governor didn't take him seriously. Such a person was enough for them to show flattering eyes to entertain.

But what disappointed them was that Feng Sizhe did not appear in the welcomed team, but they did not dare to ask him. After all, Lin Gang was their leader in a sense, and they did not have the courage to question a leader.

Lin Gang was ordered by Feng Sizhe to attract the attention of the leaders of Denghai City. Now he has got what he wanted. These people's attention is on him. His mission is accomplished. Now he just needs to engage in a war of words, chat and talk with these people.

Lin Gang is walking on thin ice at work now. He used to be Wang Guoguang's man, but now Wang Guoguang has completely fallen. What should he do? It seems that the only thing he can do is to join Feng Sizhe. The secretary general of the municipal party committee does not have any specific work and power. All he has to do is to serve the secretary of the municipal party committee well. If someone gives you power, then you have power. If not, you really are nothing. For this reason, for every task assigned by Feng Sizhe, he will work hard to complete it. He must do his job well, at least not give Feng Sizhe any reason to take him down easily.
