Rebirth of the Rising Sun

The main leader of the Transportation Bureau has arrived, so Feng Sizhe will not sit in the car anymore. He got out of the car, shook hands with Zheng Xianjin and Wu Jimin, and then pointed to the restroom in the nearby rest area and asked the two, "What do you think this place is?"

"This... this is a convenient place." Zheng Xianjin replied quickly after taking a look.

"Okay, that's a good answer. If it's a place for people to go to the bathroom, why is it so difficult for us to go there? I think this is totally irrelevant and not beneficial to the people. Tell me, who is in charge of this place? Who came up with this idea?" Feng Sizhe thought that they were leaders and could enter the bathroom with just a phone call, but what about ordinary people? Do they have this privilege? If someone really needed to go to the bathroom, would it be a joke?

"Report to Secretary Feng, this is my responsibility." Wu Jimin saw that he had to step up at this time. He finally understood why Feng Sizhe was angry, it turned out that it was because the bathroom was not for public use. However, although he admitted it, he was not worried in his heart, because this was a common practice, and it was like this in many places. In order to welcome the inspection of the leaders and avoid any problems in such small places, it was already an unwritten rule to clean up the sanitation before the inspection and then stop using it for a while.

"It's your business. Then I have to ask you, since it's a bathroom, why don't you allow others to use it? What do you think and who gave me the authority to make such a decision?" Feng Sizhe looked at Wu Jimin and asked sternly. It's not that he had any opinion about Wu Jimin himself. He was angry because the official had no intention of repenting in front of him. This proved that this person did not attach importance to the importance of this matter from the bottom of his heart. If that was the case, there was no need to be nice to him.

Seeing Feng Sizhe got angry, Wu Jimin immediately lowered his head. He didn't think about his attitude, but he thought that he was not Secretary Feng's man after all. Look, people started to make a big deal out of a small problem. It seemed that he would be criticized inevitably.

"Secretary, don't be angry. This is actually a common practice, and I agree with this." During this period of time, Wu Jimin has been very cooperative with his work, which made Zheng Xianjin very satisfied. Now seeing Feng Sizhe blaming his deputy for such a small matter, he felt that he needed to stand up and explain, so he said something. After that, he whispered to Feng Sizhe, "Secretary, this kind of thing is actually a habit. It is like this in many places. This is also to reduce mistakes in work, isn't it?"

"What do you mean by 'it has become a habit'? Is it a document or a legal provision?" Originally, this was a small matter, and Feng Sizhe shouldn't be so angry, but he saw that neither Zheng Xianjin from his department nor Wu Jimin from Tang Jingui's department actually took this issue as a problem, which was a big deal. There are some things that you must pay attention to in your heart. If you don't have it in your heart, you will naturally not do your work well. For this reason, he became much more serious than others expected.

"This... of course not." When asked this, Zheng Xianjin didn't know how to answer.

"That's good. Since there is no regulation, your practice is not inappropriate. So, Director Zheng, Deputy Director Wu, you must immediately write a self-criticism on this matter and read it to me at the city-wide cadre meeting. This kind of special work prepared to welcome inspections will not be allowed in the future." Feng Sizhe took the opportunity to express his decision, which was also the sentence he wanted to say most.

After saying this, Feng Sizhe got into the car, and then Li Shuang drove away, leaving Zheng Xianjin, Wu Jimin and others standing there in a daze. As they watched the car go away, Wu Jimin whispered, "Director Zheng, what does Secretary Feng mean by this?"

"How would I know what it means? Since we are asked to write a self-criticism, let's just write it." Zheng Xianjin said, but in fact he did not agree with it in his heart. He even decided to report the matter to Feng Xijun, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, to see what he said.

Feng Xijun has been working in Zhuangcheng City for many years, and many local cadres in Zhuangcheng City are willing to report to him when they have things to report. This is not only because he has worked in Zhuangcheng City for a long time, but also because Feng Xijun has the smallest leadership airs, and everyone feels that it is more approachable to talk to him.

After returning from Songshan, Feng Sizhe had just entered the office when Feng Xijun followed him in. "The secretary went to inspect the route. How is it? Is everything going well?"

Seeing Feng Xijun rushing over so quickly, Feng Sizhe was happy. He believed that this person must be a lobbyist for Zheng Xianjin, but he did not point it out. Instead, he nodded and said, "It was not very smooth. Some small things happened during the process."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Feng Xijun asked as if he heard it for the first time.

Feng Sizhe smiled and told Feng Xijun about the suspension of use of the rest area toilets. Feng Xijun nodded repeatedly, "Hey, this is too outrageous. Toilets are for people to use. How can they be suspended? How can people solve the problem? I think the Transportation Bureau is responsible." He first criticized the Transportation Bureau loudly, showing that he supported Feng Sizhe. Then Feng Xijun changed the subject and said, "But the Transportation Bureau's job is not easy either. That place may be one of the routes that the leader will drive. They do this to avoid problems in their work. Besides, this is not setting a precedent. As far as I know, many places do this when welcoming central leaders."

"I can't control other people's behavior, but we can't do this in Zhuangcheng. Think about it, if a place that is most convenient to use is not convenient, then think about other places. I'm afraid that because of the inspection of the central leaders, many public facilities in Zhuangcheng can no longer be used. If so, it is a nuisance to the public. As cadres appointed by the state and the organization, cadres of the people, we must always keep the people in mind, think about what they need and how we can serve them, instead of ignoring the interests of millions of people just to please the preferences of one leader. This is not acceptable. The people will curse and misunderstand our government. Do you understand, Comrade Feng Xijun?" Seeing Feng Xijun trying to smooth things over, Feng Sizhe felt it necessary to have a serious talk with him about this issue.

"Ah?" Feng Xijun did not expect this. This was originally a matter that could not be any smaller, but Feng Sizhe seemed to have magnified it infinitely, even exaggerating it. What was he trying to do?

"What? Secretary Feng can't figure it out? Then let me tell you my attitude. I have already thought about it. We should treat this inspection by the superiors with a normal mind. Of course, special arrangements will be made for security work. As for other work, we should try our best to let the leaders see the most real side, so that it will be conducive to the leaders to make the most objective evaluation. Do you understand?" Feng Sizhe thought that if he wanted to put his idea into practice, the first person he had to convince was his deputy, so he did not hesitate to say more to let Feng Xijun understand.

"What? Is this... possible? Is this realistic?" Feng Xijun was very puzzled. When leaders from other places met with inspections from their superiors, which one of them didn't try to show their best side? But when it came to Feng Sizhe, he showed his head and butt to others. If this was the case, the leader would definitely see something he didn't want to see. When that time came, would the leader give you a good review? This was obvious.

"How is this unrealistic? It's just that no one has done it. Today, since I am the secretary of the municipal party committee of Zhuangcheng, I will make it happen. I want everyone to know that it's no big deal to let the chief see the real side. The chief is also a human being and he can understand it." Feng Sizhe didn't think about what to do if problems arise. He thought more about how to change the atmosphere of officials welcoming inspections from superiors. It is no longer about arranging for the chief to see something, but for the chief to see whatever he wants to see.

"Secretary, if that's the case, then we have a lot of work to do, and time is limited. The leader is about to come, and we may not have enough time to prepare." Feng Xijun knew very well that if they really did what Feng Sizhe said, the risk would be huge. If something really happened, then everything Feng Sizhe had done in Zhuangcheng City in the past few years would be in vain.

Feng Sizhe also knew that Feng Xijun was thinking about him, but think about it, life is very short, there are many things that you want to do but fail to do because you don't have the courage. Now that he has such an opportunity in this life, why not seize it? Besides, he is young, even if the ship sinks this time, there will still be a chance to make a comeback, so he said very firmly, "We have to do it even if there are risks. At the same time, I also believe that our cadres and people in Zhuangcheng City just need to show their usual side, which does not require any preparation. I think the matter is settled, Secretary Feng, please convey my thoughts immediately."

Feng Sizhe was determined to meet the inspection of the leader with his truest side. Feng Xijun saw that he could not convince Feng Sizhe, so he had to turn around and walk out of the office. After returning to the office, he still couldn't understand it, so he took out his phone and reported to the provincial party secretary Guan Changxiao. Chairman Yu came to Zhongzhou Province not only to inspect Zhuangcheng City, but also the work of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. Now that Feng Sizhe has made such a big decision, he must report to the provincial party committee.
