Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Kyoto Airport.

Feng Sizhe and his mother-in-law Li Qiujuan returned to Kyoto from Shanghai. As soon as they got off the plane, they saw He Shasha standing at the airport exit in a windbreaker from a distance.

After seeing her mother and husband, He Shasha ran over, first ran into her mother's arms and spent a while with her, then held Feng Sizhe's hand and asked about her well-being.

Li Qiujuan was very happy to see that her daughter and son-in-law had such a good relationship. She made an exception and gave Feng Sizhe a day off, asking him to go back and see Mr. Zhao first and report to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection tomorrow. She also helped him to handle any other matters.

Chen Hu drove Feng Sizhe and He Shasha out of the airport and headed straight to Zhao's home.

In the car, Feng Sizhe received a call from De Xingmin. "Sizhe, are you back in Beijing?"

"Well, I just got off the plane." Feng Sizhe said.

"Okay, let's go to Mr. Zhao. After you see the old man, come to my Changxing Club. I have something to talk to you about." De Xingmin said solemnly on the other end of the phone.

Hearing that De Xingmin probably wanted to discuss something with him, Feng Sizhe agreed immediately.

Two hours later, Feng Sizhe appeared at the Changxing Club. Here, Liu Liang was already waiting at the gate. Seeing Feng Sizhe coming, he hurried over to open the car door for him and led Feng Sizhe to box No. 1 on the top floor.

In the box, De Xingmin was the only one sitting there sipping tea. Seeing Feng Sizhe coming, he waved his hand and asked him to sit opposite him.

Feng Sizhe took a sip of the fragrant tea, sighed, "It's good tea," and then asked Xiang Dexingmin, "Brother Min, just tell me what you want to say. There's no need to be so polite between us."

"Okay." De Xingmin nodded, then said, "It's like this, Sizhe, you still remember Fei Wenjing, right?"

"Fei Wenjing?" Feng Sizhe thought for a moment. "Remember, isn't he the executive vice minister of the Ministry of Transportation? We dealt with each other in 2003. Haha, he helped me a lot with the road construction in Zhuangcheng at that time."

"Well, you have a good memory, just remember it. He is in a bit of trouble now." De Xingmin still admires Feng Sizhe's memory ability.

Feng Sizhe was stunned when he heard De Xingmin say this, "What? Is there something wrong with him personally?"

Feng Sizhe thought that De Xingmin must have been reported by someone. If that was the case, there would be no need for De Xingmin to come to him and say these things.

"No, haha, what are you thinking? What, after working in the Discipline Inspection Commission for a few days, you think there is a problem when the cadre is mentioned?" Hearing Feng Sizhe's guess, De Xingmin smiled and shook his head, indicating that Feng Sizhe guessed wrong this time.

"Oh, what happened?" When Feng Sizhe heard that there was no problem, he became even more confused.

"It's like this. The former Minister of Transport had to retire due to sudden health reasons. So the position of minister became vacant, and he wanted to get promoted." De Xingmin said while sipping tea.

"Want to make progress? That's a good thing. But Brother Min, I don't think I have much to say about this kind of thing. He is moving towards the ministerial level, while I am only a deputy ministerial level cadre and a cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission, haha." Feng Sizhe smiled. He was even more confused about what De Xingmin meant by saying this to him.

Seeing Feng Sizhe's smirk, De Xingmin also smiled, "Haha, Sizhe, although you are in the Commission for Discipline Inspection now, I know your relationship with the Miao family very well. And the reason why I spoke to you this time is that I am sure of what I said. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. My father passed away a long time ago, and there are very few people who can still consider themselves as De family cadres. Fei Wenjing is one of them. He spoke to me this time. If I don't help him, what will others think? Those who don't know will think that our De family is no longer good, so I must win this time. Of course, my strength alone is a little small, so I thought of you. Believe that as long as you are willing to help, this matter should not be so difficult."

Hearing De Xingmin talking about this matter so seriously, Feng Sizhe became serious. "Brother Min, since you are going to help him with all your strength, isn't that enough? There shouldn't be any problems with the central leaders, right?"

Feng Sizhe's idea was right. When De Lao was alive, his authority was absolutely first-class and powerful. It can be said that after the founding fathers, only De Lao had such power and influence. Although De Lao is no longer with us, it has not been long since then. Many central leaders were promoted when De Lao was alive. If De Xingmin is really willing to stand up, he should give him this little face.

On the contrary, if De Xingmin doesn't work even if he steps forward, then this matter will be difficult to handle. Even if I join him, I won't have much better chances of winning. After all, this is a ministerial-level official, and there are only a few such positions in the country.

"That's right. Of course, I will have a certain influence if I come forward. But the difficulty this time is that the person competing with Fei Wenjing is also very powerful. Well, now that we are talking about this, I will tell you straight. Another person who is also optimistic about this position is Zhou Rongjian, the current vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. This person is not only the executive vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, but also a cadre promoted from the literature department." De Xingmin knew that some things could not be concealed. Since he wanted to ask Feng Sizhe for help, there were some things that could not be hidden.

It’s the Wen family again.

Feng Sizhe discovered that ever since he came to work at the Kyoto Discipline Inspection Commission, he seemed to have endless dealings with the Wen and Lu families. Is this what people call fate?

In his previous life, the Zhao family where Feng Sizhe belonged was defeated by the Lu and Wen families. This time, after being reborn, he still had to fight with them. Just during this period of time, the two sides have caused trouble for each other.

"What do you think? Sizhe, I've told you everything, you decide what to do. Of course, there's only one thing I want you to do, and that's to settle the matter with the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. As long as you can get them to only report Fei Wenjing's name, I'll talk to other central leaders." It can be seen that De Xingmin is ready to give it a try this time.

Ever since Mr. De passed away, De Xingmin began to think about the future of the De family. That's why he saw Feng Sizhe's talent and went all out to help this person. Of course, this was also helping the De family itself. As long as Feng Sizhe had a good future, the De family would have nothing to worry about in the future.

But one cannot hang oneself on a tree, just like Feng Sizhe has more than one person supporting him. If he wants to develop more steadily, he must walk on multiple legs. Therefore, officials like Fei Wenjing who have always maintained a good relationship with the De family are very important. For this reason, De Xingmin decided to fully support this person to take the position for the sake of his family.

Feng Sizhe also saw that De Xingmin was trying his best this time. Even so, as an ally, he had to contribute. But this was a position of a ministerial-level official. Was it so easy to fight for? Although the De family had great influence, after all, Elder De had passed away for many years. Unlike the Wen family, it was at its peak.

"Okay, since Brother Min said so, then I will give it a try. But I'm not very sure about this matter." Feng Sizhe had to say this in order not to disappoint De Xingmin.

"Well, it's always good to try. How can you know the results of many things if you don't try?" De Xingmin nodded happily.

After Feng Sizhe came out of the Changxing Club, he thought about it and called Miao Zihan first. It was already December and New Year's Day was almost here. He didn't know how her work was going. It must be a very tiring job to be the secretary of the municipal party committee.

The call was connected and the other end picked up quickly. Feng Sizhe said, "Zi Han, are you in the office or out on patrol? You must be very tired."

"Hehe, I'm fine. By the way, why did you think of calling me? Do you know about my situation?" Miao Zihan seemed to be in a good mood.

"Your business, what business?" Feng Sizhe was stunned when he heard Miao Zihan say this.

"What? Don't you know? Humph! You don't care about me at all. I thought you called me because you knew about my affairs." Miao Zihan said coquettishly on the other end.

Normally, he is 38 years old, almost 40, and the secretary of the municipal party committee. He will not act like a spoiled child so easily. But it depends on who the target is.

"Oh, what's your matter? I really don't know. I just returned to Kyoto from the countryside." Feng Sizhe explained hurriedly. He really didn't want Miao Zihan to misunderstand him. Think about it, she gave birth to a son for him without any requirements. This favor alone can be repaid in a lifetime.

Hearing Feng Sizhe's somewhat nervous voice, Miao Zihan on the other end of the phone laughed, "Haha, I was just teasing you. I know you just came back from Shencheng. My grandfather praised you for what you did in Shencheng. He said that you have a sense of the overall situation, don't make trouble, and don't act on emotion. This is very good. This is the basic quality of people who do great things."

"How did you know that my grandfather commented on me like that? Did he tell you over the phone?" Feng Sizhe was still very excited to hear Mr. Miao praising him like that.

"What? He has already returned to Kyoto. You may not know this, but I am no longer the municipal party secretary. I have been transferred to the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee as deputy secretary-general. Haha, still at the level of a full-time department head. It's a transition. Grandpa told me to take a break for one or two years, and then be promoted to the next level in the local area." Miao Zihan said with some pride. After all, at the age of less than 40, he has achieved such results, which is indeed something to be proud of.
