Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Chapter 1638: Strength under High Pressure

"Comrade Sizhe, this is Chang Ning. You stay in the office and wait for me. I'll be there soon." The person on the other end hung up the phone after saying that. It was obvious that he was in a hurry. A bad feeling came over him. He and Chang Ning were good friends and they had a very good relationship. If possible, the other party would not hang up the phone with just one sentence. He should at least give a general idea of ​​the situation. The fact that he didn't say it proved one thing, that is, it was not convenient for him to say it.

About five minutes later, Liu Fei's voice came from outside the office, "Hello, Secretary Chang."

"Well, your Secretary Feng is in the office." Chang Ning's voice came again.

"Yes, I'll go in and report to you." Liu Fei's voice sounded.

"No need, we can go in by ourselves. You watch outside and don't let anyone in." Chang Ning said as he pushed open the office door. He appeared in front of Feng Sizhe. Also appearing with him were Sheng Shike, director of the General Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Wu Guangrong, head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Central Plains District Working Group.

Suddenly these three people appeared together. Feng Sizhe didn't need to think about anything else. He knew that this matter had become a big deal and it also concerned him. Otherwise, they would not appear in front of him in this situation.

The fact is that Hua Pengtao called Sheng Shike first and reported the situation on his side, and then Sheng Shike reported the situation to Secretary Lu. In view of the fact that several actions of the Discipline Inspection Commission had been cracked by Feng Sizhe and they had not gained any advantage, the other party was very cautious this time and asked Sheng Shike to go to Zhuangcheng first to stabilize the overall situation. If everything was settled, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection would send people down, which would be foolproof. In order to cooperate with Sheng Shike, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection directly transferred Wu Guangrong. After all, this was under his jurisdiction and it was appropriate for him to handle this matter.

At noon, just after getting off work, Chang Ning received a call from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. He went to the airport to pick up Sheng Shike and Wu Guangrong, and then Hua Pengtao briefly reported the case. They had lunch together and rested in the hotel. During this time, everyone was together. This was probably because Sheng Shike was afraid that someone would inform Feng Sizhe. It was not until working time that the three of them came together. Hua Pengtao was responsible for arresting the other people, and the three leaders went straight to Feng Sizhe.

"Hello Secretary Chang, Director Sheng, and Team Leader Wu. Why are the three of you here together?" Although Feng Sizhe already understood something in his heart, he could only pretend that he didn't know.

"Haha, come and sit for a while and see if Secretary Feng will reject us." Sheng Shike was the first to speak. After he finished speaking, he sat down opposite Feng Sizhe.

"Of course." Feng Sizhe walked to the reception area with a smile on his face, and was about to call Liu Fei to serve tea, but Sheng Shike stopped him, "Okay, we are not thirsty, there is no need to serve tea, just sit here for a while."

This was equivalent to cutting off Feng Sizhe's contact with the outside world. Looking at this situation, Feng Sizhe simply nodded and said, "Okay, I don't have much tea left here, so I'll leave it to the thirsty comrades."

By saying this, it means that he does not welcome Sheng Shike and others. By saying that tea is for those who are thirsty, that is, for those in need, it is obvious that in his eyes, Sheng Shike does not need tea anymore.

Sheng Shike did not respond to Feng Sizhe's slightly sarcastic remarks. In his opinion, Feng Sizhe was doomed, and for a man who was about to fall, what good would it mean to ask him to exercise his verbal skills?

In contrast, Chang Ning and Wu Guangrong said nothing. They probably knew that this matter was difficult for them to handle. Although they both wanted to side with Feng Sizhe, they had no choice but to face the fact that Hua Pengtao had ironclad evidence. In order to prevent them from destroying the evidence, Hua Pengtao only reported verbally when reporting instead of bringing out Xiao Yuguang's testimony. This was because he was afraid that some people would destroy it. Of course, they did not doubt that Hua Pengtao would do such a thing without evidence. You have to know that any means and measures taken against someone like Feng Sizhe must be taken with extreme caution, and there is absolutely no room for jokes.

The four people sat there, and no one talked to each other. After a long time, Feng Sizhe felt a little bored, so he walked to the desk, took out a stack of materials and started reading. Since no one was talking, he might as well take this opportunity to read some materials carefully.

"Oh, Secretary Feng is really serious about his work. Doesn't he forget to read the information and understand the situation at this time?" Sheng Shike, who had been paying attention to Feng Sizhe's every move, said sarcastically.

"Hey, we grassroots cadres are not like the leaders of state ministries. We deal with trivial matters every day, and we have to worry about them." Feng Sizhe continued to mock Sheng Shike. It was really not easy for anyone to take advantage of him verbally.

After suffering another setback, Sheng Shike simply stopped saying anything. He just waited for progress from Hua Pengtao, and then he could take down Feng Sizhe.

After Feng Sizhe repeatedly gave Sheng Shike a bad look, he saw that the other party had stopped talking, so he felt relieved and went to look at the documents at hand. However, Chang Ning and Wu Guangrong were a little worried about him.

This incident has alarmed the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Sheng Shike came down immediately to express his stance. At this time, Feng Sizhe should not treat others in this way. If he really did something wrong, these two people would not be able to find an opportunity to speak for him.

In fact, the two had thought about it before. Even if Feng Sizhe really accepted the benefit of 300,000 this time, it would not be a big problem. At most, he would just quit. Otherwise, he would just stop being the secretary and go to a certain ministry in Kyoto to live out his time. It would not be too late to return to officialdom after the limelight had passed and everyone had forgotten about him. After all, he was still young, and that was his asset. But if he kept on fighting against Sheng Shike and made him angry, he would just hold on to the matter and would not let go. That would be difficult to resolve. If things went wrong, it would not only be a simple matter of not being able to be the secretary, but it would also be a question of whether he could stay in officialdom in the future.

Some people were worried about him, but Feng Sizhe seemed fine. As the saying goes, the world is wide open to those who have a selfless heart. He had never done anything wrong, so he was naturally not afraid of others causing trouble for him. He looked at the information slowly and carefully, letting time pass by minute by minute.

After about forty minutes, everyone was tired of sitting, and the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Hua Pengtao appeared in front of the four people.

"Get out! Who told you to come in without knocking? Don't you know the rules? Let me tell you, no matter what happens, I am still the secretary of the Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee." Looking at Hua Pengtao, Feng Sizhe directly scolded him.

Hua Pengtao was stunned. He didn't expect Feng Sizhe to be so stubborn at this time. It seemed that he really knew nothing. Well, it didn't matter if he let it go for the last time. Anyway, it wouldn't be long before the secretary would be replaced.

"Okay, I'll knock on the door again and come in." Hua Pengtao was a bachelor, so he turned around and followed Liu Fei, who had been blocking him, out of the door. He closed it first, and then knocked on the door again.

Hearing the knock on the door, Feng Sizhe seemed not to hear it and was still looking down at the information in his mind. This action aroused the dissatisfaction of Sheng Shike, "Secretary Feng, someone is knocking on your door?"

"Yeah, I heard it." Feng Sizhe just agreed and continued to look at the information.

"Comrade Feng Sizhe, what do you mean?" Seeing that Feng Sizhe just agreed to his request, Sheng Shike was very dissatisfied.

"What I mean, Comrade Sheng Shike, I want to ask you, if you are working and someone disturbs you, will you let him in immediately?" Feng Sizhe turned around and asked Sheng Shike.

When this question came out, Sheng Shike was speechless. Usually, when subordinates come to report on their work, their superiors will more or less take it as a gesture, which means to tell them that you'd better be more respectful in front of me. If I want to see you, I will see you. If I don't want to see you, you have to leave me alone.

Sheng Shike has done a lot of this kind of thing during his years as an official. When he met cadres he was not satisfied with, he would sometimes refuse to meet them, and sometimes he even had to meet them. When they met, he would use the excuse of looking at their information and leave them alone for a while before talking. Now Feng Sizhe was just using this method on Hua Pengtao, which was nothing big.

Feng Sizhe's answer made Sheng Shike not know what to do. He had no choice but to look at Chang Ning and Wu Guangrong beside him, hoping that these two people could say a word for him.

Normally, these two people would not side with him, Sheng Shike, but today was different. They came to find fault with Feng Sizhe, and it seemed that they had evidence. If they didn't find a way to ease the atmosphere at this time, things would get awkward and it would be difficult to do their work. For this reason, the two looked at each other and thought about it, and Chang Ning spoke first, "Secretary Feng, I think we should meet Comrade Hua Pengtao. No matter what, it's better to listen to what he has to say first."

"Yes, just give us some face." Wu Guangrong, a typical representative of the Discipline Inspection Commission cadres who has always been the most impartial, stood up and said something for the first time in order to prevent Feng Sizhe's situation from getting too bad.

Even Wu Guangrong said so, Feng Sizhe nodded and stopped talking. In fact, he was thinking, what kind of thing could it be that even Wu Guangrong, who usually hated to ask for face from others, stood up and spoke? It seemed that this matter must be very serious. However, he thought about it carefully in his mind and realized that he really had not done anything wrong, so he put his mind at ease again.
