Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Ah? Mr. Wen, hello, hello, I'm Xiao Tang, I'm Xiao Tang." Upon hearing that it was Mr. Wen calling him personally, Tang Chengwei felt very emotional. He thought back then that he was just a secretary, but because of his work ability he was noticed by him, which led to a smooth official career and now he has become the head of a province.

"Well, what's the matter? I heard that Comrade Hengfu is coming to your Zhongzhou Province, and you are not prepared to receive him. Is that true?" There was a hint of doubt in Mr. Wen's voice.

The so-called unprepared reception was recently coined by some central government officials after they heard about the preparations for the reception in Zhuangcheng City. The so-called unprepared does not mean that there is no preparation at all, but that when the big leader comes, the units being inspected continue to work as usual and do not receive any special treatment. This is an unprepared reception.

If we say that what people dislike most in official circles is being unconventional, it may be okay in other industries, especially in the business world where there are all kinds of ideas, methods and creativity. But in official circles, everyone follows the same old routine, taking steady steps. No one wants to do something out of the ordinary or out of tune with other colleagues. Doing things in this way is usually very dangerous, but Feng Sizhe chose this path. In comparison, this approach will naturally cause a wave of discussion in the central government. Even Mr. Wen has heard about it, which is enough to prove that this matter has attracted the attention of senior officials.

"Yes, I am against welcoming Comrade Yu Fuheng in this way, but Comrade Guan Changxiao has already agreed. Comrade Feng Sizhe is the secretary of the municipal party committee of Zhuangcheng City, and he has the power to do so, so I..." Tang Chengwei immediately stated the things he disagreed with.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Well, as a party comrade, you must stick to your own opinions. If you have different views on things, you can report them to your superiors. If that doesn't work, you can report them to the central government. Now our party and country have been following the path of reform and opening up. Although we have taken many correct paths, we have also taken many detours and wrong paths. What is the reason? It is simply because some comrades always want to be different, always want to highlight themselves, and highlight personal heroism. What is the result? The results of many things are determined by willingness. Therefore, as members of the Communist Party, we should have our own principles. You understand what I mean." Mr. Wen had made his meaning very clear on the other end of the phone. Obviously, he expressed great opposition to Feng Sizhe's unprepared reception method.

With these words from Mr. Wen, Tang Chengwei certainly knew what to do. "Yes, please rest assured, old leader, I know what to do. I will raise objections to the provincial party committee now. If it doesn't work, I will report it to the central government. What do you think?"

"Well, it's right to express different opinions to the provincial party committee, and it's also right to express different opinions to the central government, but we still have to fully respect the decision of the provincial party committee. After all, no one has done this matter, so no one knows the result, right? I think we should let the facts speak for themselves. As long as you truthfully reflect your opinions to the organization, that will be enough. Okay, Xiao Tang, do your best." Wen Guoyue hung up the phone after pointing out how things should be done. After all, he is old and it's a bit tiring to talk too much.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Chengwei thought carefully about what Wen said, and he finally figured out the meaning. It is said that old ginger is spicy, and now Wen's idea is a chess move with an advantage. Think about it, before the incident happened, he first reflected his opinion to the higher-ups, that is, he opposed this unprepared reception method, but at the same time he respected the final opinion of the provincial party committee. The advantage of doing so is that once Feng Sizhe's reception model has problems, he will be on the winning side. Didn't he put forward different opinions before? On the contrary, if this method is successful, he will not suffer any major losses. After all, he only reflected the problem, but did not do anything specific about it.

After a long sigh, the old leader is always the old leader. Then Tang Chengwei called Guan Changxiao and said that he had something to report.

An hour and a half later, the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee held an emergency meeting. All 13 members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee who were at home were present, and the meeting was chaired by the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Guan Changxiao.

Guan Changxiao said, "Comrades, there are only two days before Comrade Yu Hengfu, Chairman of the Central People's Congress, arrives in Zhongzhou Province. This meeting is for everyone to meet and see whether all relevant preparations are ready, whether there are any areas we haven't thought of, and also to let everyone speak freely, say what they think, and brainstorm."

This meeting was indeed held at a very timely time. Before the head came to Zhongzhou Province, everyone reviewed their work in advance, which was a good thing. Immediately, after Guan Changxiao finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads and began to think about whether there was anything they had not done in their work. On the contrary, Governor Tang Chengwei just lowered his head to look at the notebook in his hand, and then said, "Then let me say a few words first."

"Okay, Governor Tang, go first." Guan Changxiao nodded. In fact, he held this meeting because of Tang Chengwei's request. Just now, he came to him and said that he opposed Comrade Feng Sizhe's unprepared reception style to welcome the leader. In fact, Guan Changxiao was also unsure about this. It was just that this time it was Elder Miao who called him personally, and he had no choice but to agree. Now that Tang Chengwei had clearly expressed his opposition, he actually thought the same as himself. Of course, he had to give him a chance to explain this truth. If he could convince Feng Sizhe at this time, it would be timely.

After Guan Changxiao nodded, Tang Chengwei spoke, "Comrades, Chairman Yu came to our Zhongzhou Province to express the Party Central Committee's concern for our province. It is also a test of our work. As the head of a province, I feel that the burden on my shoulders is very heavy. I am afraid of failing the trust of the Central Committee and comrades. And I have not slept well these two days. I have been thinking about a question, that is, is the unprepared reception method proposed by Comrade Feng Sizhe feasible? Indeed, I have to admit that this is a very bold way. It is also a reception method that can best reflect the work of all aspects of our province. But comrades, it is not that we are unwilling to face reality, but in reality, have we done all our work? Have you ever thought about it? This kind of reception method is often because one thing is not done well, and the work of the central leaders to our Zhongzhou Province is eventually completely denied. So I suggest that from now on, this reception method should be corrected, or the previous reception method should be used to welcome the leaders. Of course, if Zhuangcheng City says that changing the work ideas will increase a lot of workload, then don't worry, I think the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government can draw out elite soldiers to help Zhuangcheng City."

Tang Chengwei first talked about his responsibilities, then his obligations, and finally got to the point. All in all, he meant one thing, which was that he opposed this unprepared reception method. Such a reception method was prone to problems. If problems occurred, who would be responsible? As the head of Zhongzhou Province, he had to consider this issue.

After Tang Chengwei said this, everyone present at the meeting fell silent. Everyone knew very well that this kind of unprepared reception method was actually very risky. Just as Tang Chengwei said, if one thing was not done well, it would very likely cause the central leaders' overall impression of Zhongzhou Province to plummet. If that happened, everyone as officials of Zhongzhou Province would only be ashamed.

If someone else had proposed this unprepared reception method, I think many people would have raised objections, but it was Feng Sizhe who proposed it, and it seemed that Guan Changxiao did not object, so everyone was not sure what to say for a while. The current Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee either supported the Feng faction or was close to the Feng faction, so who would really be willing to be an enemy of this young man? So even though Tang Chengwei said so much, none of the other cadres stood up to express their views. Everyone was very clear about this matter, neither offending Feng Sizhe nor supporting Tang Chengwei.

Because everyone had their own plans, the atmosphere in the meeting room became very quiet for a while.

Feng Sizhe sat there quietly, thinking a lot during this time. He knew very well that if Tang Chengwei had rejected his resolution under normal circumstances, someone would have stood up to speak for him, at least Guan Changxiao would have stood up, but now no one said anything, which was very telling, indicating that everyone actually didn't support him very much, but they had no choice but to do so because of face.

Feng Sizhe could easily use his influence to push Tang Chengwei back, but in this way, it is inevitable that he would lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade. In Feng Sizhe's hard-working official life, he has never said that he would rely on the power behind him to suppress anyone or not reason with anyone. He never did so before and he cannot do so now. This is his principle. After thinking about it, it seems that he can only stand up and explain it himself.

He coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then Feng Sizhe said, "Secretary Guan and fellow comrades. That's right, an unprepared reception is indeed unprecedented. This time, our Zhuangcheng City will set a precedent. Of course, this does not mean that I, Feng Sizhe, will do anything special, but it is for the future of the country. Please think about it. When the superior leader comes to inspect, his food, accommodation and transportation have been arranged in advance by us. What is the difference between the so-called inspection work of the superior leader and a formality? How can he truly experience the real situation of the work below? In the long run, will some cadres regard We treat welcoming leaders as an ordinary job, and think that the leaders above are just going through the motions, and that we just need to see the good side under their arrangement. If one day, everyone thinks this way, then things will be really terrible. At that time, the leaders above will not see the real situation below, and the cadres below can do whatever they want and implement what they think is right. In this case, when no one really supervises the work and no one really checks it, the corruption problem of our cadres will only become more and more serious, until one day it will hurt the foundation of the country. For this reason, I want to start from here to change this system. "
