Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Boss, the person in charge of bathroom cleaning here said that the bathroom is temporarily out of service." Liu Fei answered with his head down.

"Out of service? Why? Isn't this a rest area that has just been built? Is there something wrong with the facilities here?" Feng Sizhe asked in confusion.

"No, there is no problem with the facilities here. This is the situation." Liu Fei thought for a while and told the truth. It turned out that in order to deal with the inspection of the superiors and to show the best side to the superiors, the subordinates temporarily stopped using the rest area bathroom. The advantage of this is that it can be opened when the superiors come, so that the cleanest side can be shown, at least there will be no problems with such small things. Speaking of which, this is not a special case, but a routine.

After listening to Liu Fei's explanation, Feng Sizhe nodded to show that he understood. It seems that no matter whether it was in the previous life or this life, the situation in the officialdom is like this. In order to avoid problems in welcoming the leaders, the people below have adopted a variety of methods. For example, the toilet is often cleaned in a few days, and then other people are not allowed to use it. Finally, it is opened when the leader comes. In this way, the toilet is quite clean, and the leader will be very satisfied when he comes in. This method is not bad, at least there will be no problems in such small things, but the key is that it is too inconvenient. The toilet is originally a place to serve people, but now it has become a trouble for people to solve the problem of convenience. This is not right. It can be said that these are some bad habits born in order to welcome the leaders.

If this incident had not happened, Feng Sizhe would not have thought of solving it, but now that he had, he had to solve it. He was the one who came here today, but what about ordinary people? If they could not go to the bathroom in time, they would not know how to curse when they turn around. The negative impact of this incident will all be attributed to the leader's inspection. It can be said that this is also a disguised way of disturbing the people. No, he must solve this problem.

"Xiao Liu, call immediately to find out who is specifically responsible for this matter. Call him over so I can ask him about the details." Feng Sizhe decided to solve this matter, so naturally he had to find the leader in charge of this matter.

"No need for that. I can still bear it." Wang Ruihua said softly. In her opinion, she didn't want to cause any trouble because of herself.

"This is not a question of whether you can tolerate it or not. This is a bad habit that must be changed. Xiao Liu will call right away." Feng Sizhe's attitude to solving this matter is very clear, and he will not change because of a word from someone around him.

Seeing that his boss had made up his mind, Liu Fei took out his mobile phone and called the Municipal Urban Planning and Construction Committee Office to ask who was specifically responsible for this matter. Because Liu Fei was asking about this matter, the office immediately sent an answer, saying that the highway had just been opened to traffic, and this place was temporarily under the control of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, and the size of the rest area was the responsibility of Wu Jimin, the executive deputy director of the Municipal Transportation Bureau.

After getting the accurate information, Liu Fei found Wu Jimin's cell phone and called him.

In the office of the executive deputy director of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, Wu Jimin was working with his head down. Specifically, he was a man of Tang Jingui, the former executive deputy mayor of Zhuangcheng City, and rose to prominence in that era. However, with the arrival of Feng Sizhe, Tang Jingui soon had no place to stand, and later had to leave Zhuangcheng City. From then on, his job became difficult. In order to maintain his current position, the smart Wu Jimin also learned his lesson. He knew that Secretary Feng liked pragmatic cadres, so he tried his best to show himself and do his job well. Not to mention, this method really worked. At least more than a year had passed, and his position had not been moved. Even several personnel adjustments in the city did not cause any accidents. This was all due to his hard work.

Now he was working with his head down and reviewing documents when his cell phone rang.

Normally, when the phone rings, it's mostly personal calls, because people who really need official business will call the office phone. So Wu Jimin casually took out his phone, but when he saw the caller ID, he was stunned. It actually said Director Liu Fei. Oh my God, this is Secretary Feng's secretary, a big shot around Secretary Feng, how could this person remember to call him?

Even if Feng Sizhe had something to ask the Transportation Bureau, he would directly go to the director Zheng Xianjin instead of him, the deputy director. So Wu Jimin had no need to save Liu Fei's phone number, but he still did it, which showed that he was a thoughtful person. Who knows when he would use it. Sure enough, it really came in handy now. He immediately softened his throat and then carefully answered the phone, "Hello, hello, I'm Wu Jimin."

"Deputy Director Wu, I'm Liu Fei from the Municipal Party Committee Office. Secretary Feng is now at the third service area on the road leading to Songshan in Zhuangcheng City, but the staff here said that the toilet is not allowed to be used. Now please come over and explain this issue." Liu Fei said in a very calm tone.

In fact, this is exactly what Feng Sizhe likes about Liu Fei. As Feng Sizhe's secretary, he can walk around in Zhuangcheng City without anyone daring to interfere or say anything. But Liu Fei has never been arrogant because of his position. On the contrary, he is very polite in dealing with people. On this issue, many people have told him that he has found a good secretary.

When Wu Jimin heard that it was Secretary Feng who summoned him, he did not dare to be careless and immediately agreed, "Okay, Director Liu, please tell Secretary Feng to wait a moment. I will rush over right away. I will rush over right away."

After a while, the rest area manager came to the Audi waiting in the rest area. They had obviously received a call from Wu Jimin, asking Secretary Feng and his party to go to the bathroom. Wang Ruihua immediately stopped being polite and went into the bathroom.

Feng Sizhe didn't need to go in. He sat in the car and kept thinking about this question, that is, how to deal with this problem. On the surface, this is just a toilet temporarily closed to welcome the inspection of the superiors. In fact, there are many hidden meanings. This is just a representation.

For example, in many places, because the leaders came to inspect the work, many places that should be open were closed, and some places that should have been opened long ago were temporarily opened. For example, the tap water project in a certain place was actually opened by the local government a long time ago, but it was just waiting for the leaders to come to inspect the work. After the leaders arrived, they opened it. In this way, there was news, that is, with the arrival of a certain leader, a certain community can have clean and hygienic tap water.

The tap water that could have benefited the people long ago was delayed because the leaders wanted to come down for inspection. There are countless examples like this, and some of them are completely unnecessary and even cost people money. However, because of the official-centered thinking, lower-level officials will inevitably do this and that in order to perform well in front of their superiors, under the pretext of proving the ability of the leaders and flattering the leaders, but in fact it is simply an irresponsible behavior towards the people and a manifestation of officials flattering their superiors for their own official careers.

Feng Sizhe was very clear about these things. In his previous life, he had criticized this social phenomenon. As a social commentator, he had loudly denounced these activities that were not beneficial to the people in front of the TV screen and called on officials to consider the interests of the people. But why did it not work for him? Could it be that he had lost his original intention as an official?

Thinking back to his years as an official, he did do some good things for the people and the country, but at the same time, as his official position continued to rise, his heart also changed to a certain extent. For example, sometimes he would flatter the leaders appropriately and do things according to the leaders' preferences. Of course, this was nothing, but if he delayed the people's livelihood and public opinion just to flatter, then it would be more trouble than gain. Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea in his mind, that is, starting from welcoming Chairman Yu, he would set another precedent, that is, everything should be based on seeking truth from facts, and show the leader the most real side?

Yes, doing so would be very risky, and there would be many chances of problems arising in the work, but it must be said that this is indeed a real manifestation of seeking truth from facts. Perhaps the superiors need to see this. As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. If he really does this, as long as he is fully prepared, he firmly believes that he can pass it. The most important thing is that if this set of measures is really implemented, its significance will be enormous. If officials across the country do this, then the superiors will see more real things, which will be beneficial to their policy making.

Feng Sizhe thought a lot in the car. After a while, several small cars drove over from a distance and came to the Audi car. The people in the lead were the Director of the Transportation Bureau, Zheng Xianjin, and the Executive Deputy Director, Wu Jimin.

After Wu Jimin hung up the phone with Liu Fei, he immediately called Director Zheng, and then the two of them went downstairs together. The office staff of the Transportation Bureau followed in two cars. This also showed their respect for Feng Sizhe. As the saying goes, nothing is trivial in front of the leader.

Zheng Xianjin first walked over respectfully, then called out to Feng Sizhe, "Hello, Secretary."

Zheng Xianjin has always been with Feng Sizhe and his work performance is also good. Although he cannot enter the core of Feng's faction, he is still a qualified official in Feng Sizhe's eyes. Wu Jimin invited him for selfish reasons. He didn't know what Feng Sizhe was so angry about, and he was afraid that he could not bear it, so he called Zheng Xianjin to find someone to share the responsibility with him.
