Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Yingtao told Feng Sizhe everything she had learned from her mother, and finally added, "Well, just resign. I've come to terms with it. People like my father really aren't suitable for your officialdom. The sooner he resigns, the sooner he'll have a quiet life. Isn't it just a matter of paying a few more years of pension insurance? My family still has the money."

"This is not a question." Feng Sizhe suddenly interrupted Yingtao. "These are two completely different things. If the facts are really as you said, then your county party secretary is simply an incompetent official. If you let such an official be the parent official, you can imagine that the economy and other aspects of your county will not be much better in a short time."

"What do you mean? You still want to control it?" Cherry found it funny when she saw Feng Sizhe's serious look. The man she liked didn't seem to be very old, but why was he so serious when talking about business?

"Do you think I can't do anything about it?" Feng Sizhe glanced at Yingtao and asked back.

Looking at Feng Sizhe's serious expression, Yingtao said in surprise, "No way, you really want to take care of it. Besides, aren't you a cadre of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? You can't take care of the affairs of Harbin Province."

Cherry didn't know much about officialdom. If it was He Shasha or Miao Zihan, or even any other woman like Feng Sizhe, they wouldn't say that, because they all knew how much power their men had. Cherry, on the other hand, didn't know much about that. She only knew that Feng Sizhe was a government official and seemed to have some power, otherwise Gu Rongxian wouldn't be so polite to him.

"What? Who said I can't take care of the affairs of Harbin Province? Just wait and see." As he said this, Feng Sizhe took out his mobile phone, searched for a phone number in the address book and dialed it.

The call was made, but the other party's phone was turned off. Yingtao was leaning on Feng Sizhe's shoulder holding the phone. When she heard the voice coming from the microphone, she laughed and said, "Why, are you lying to me? Why did you use a number that can't be dialed?"

Feng Sizhe also laughed when Yingtao said this. He didn't expect that the phone number he saved was turned off. He smiled and scratched Yingtao's nose with his finger, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait." He dialed another number again and was quickly connected. "Feng Lei, check Comrade Xia Xiang's landline number for me immediately and send it to my mobile phone."

After a while, the phone rang with the sound of a text message. Feng Sizhe wrote down the number and dialed it.

In the courtyard of the Harbin Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, the lights in the home of Xia Xiang, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister in Building No. 7 were still on. Comrade Xia Xiang was watching TV with his wife. It was a rare opportunity to have such free time, as he didn't have to be busy with work or go out to socialize with other people.

The two of them drank tea, ate melon seeds, and occasionally exchanged a few words, making the room feel particularly warm. But the sudden ringing of the phone really broke the tranquility.

"Who is this? He calls me so late in the evening." Mrs. Xia pursed her lips unhappily.

"Haha, maybe it's about work. I think you should answer it for me. If they want to invite me out for dinner, please block it for me." Xia Xiang looked at his lover with an unamused look. Since he became a member of the Standing Committee of the Harbin Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization at the end of last year, he has not had a good rest. Either he invites him to dinner today, or he asks him to relax tomorrow. In short, it is rare to have time to rest. For this reason, he was afraid at night and had to turn off the mobile phone he used to contact the outside world, so that he could have some peace and quiet for a while.

Mrs. Xia stood up somewhat unwillingly, walked to the phone, and picked up the phone, "Hello."

"Hello, is this Minister Xia's home?" Feng Sizhe heard that the call was finally connected, so he spoke up to confirm.

"Oh, Minister Xia is not at home." When Mrs. Xia heard the other party call her Minister Xia, she wanted to hang up the phone. Speaking of which, answering the phone is also a science. If the other party asked if Comrade Xia Xiang was at home, it means that it was a call from a superior leader, at least a cadre of the same level. But if it was Minister Xia, it should be a cadre below, and it might be some low-ranking cadre. Mrs. Xia did not have the spare time to chat with these people.

"Haha, it's sister-in-law, right? I'm Sizhe." The voice sounded so familiar that Feng Sizhe remembered that it seemed to be the voice of Madam Xia Xiang, so he called out sister-in-law.

"Sizhe." Upon hearing the other party's name, Mrs. Xia was stunned at first, then she immediately remembered this person and her voice suddenly became extremely enthusiastic, "It's Sizhe, haha, why didn't you call Lao Xia on his cell phone? I thought it was another cadre who wanted to treat him to a meal."

Xia Xiang, who was watching TV over there, heard that the call was from Feng Sizhe, so he did not dare to neglect it at all. To be honest, it was all thanks to Feng Sizhe that he was transferred from Zhongzhou Province to Harbin Province and became the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. Now that he was called, how could he not answer the phone?

Grabbing the phone from his wife's hand, Xia Xiang said to the person on the other end of the phone, "It's Sizhe, haha."

"Hello, old leader." When Feng Sizhe heard Xia Xiang's voice, he also changed his address.

"Hey, don't call me old leader. We are at the same level. I can't bear you calling me that, haha." Hearing Feng Sizhe calling himself old leader, Xia Xiang felt a little embarrassed. Yes, he used to be Feng Sizhe's leader, but that was all in the past. If it weren't for the help of his subordinate, he would probably be sitting on the bench in some cold government office now. He still has the gratitude in his heart.

"Haha, old leader, please don't say that. You are my old leader at all times. By the way, I just called the cell phone number you used before, but it was turned off. Is it because too many people invited you to dinner?" Feng Sizhe could understand how busy a worker in the Organization Department of a province would be in his spare time. Think about it, the promotion of cadres in the entire province is mainly in the hands of one person, so how could he keep quiet?

"Haha, Sizhe knows me well. You don't know that every night after work, there are so many people who come to me to do things. They can always find various excuses, and they all say it's work-related. But I have attended many dinners, and I found that they have nothing to do with work at all. I had no choice but to turn off my cell phone. Oh, by the way, I have a new number. I'll send it to your cell phone later. We will have this number to contact each other in the future. This number is on 24 hours a day." Xia Xiang had nothing to hide from Feng Sizhe, so she told Feng Sizhe about her situation directly.

"Okay, send it to me. I'll save it." Feng Sizhe nodded. The fact that Xia Xiang could talk so much to him showed that he didn't treat him as an outsider at all. This was a good thing.

"Well, OK." After saying this, Xia Xiang suddenly remembered that Feng Sizhe's call at this time should not be just a simple reminiscing, so he asked, "Sizhe, you called me so late at night, there must be something wrong. If you have something, just tell me. I will do everything I can within the scope of the principles."

"Haha, okay, don't talk about it. This time I called my old leader mainly to report something. It's like this. I heard from a friend that there is a man named Ying in Tangche County, Jiahong City, Harbin Province..." When Feng Sizhe said this, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of Yingtao's father, so he asked Yingtao who was listening to the phone, "What's your uncle's name?"

"My father's name is Ying Weiquan, which means serving the people wholeheartedly." Yingtao explained.

"Oh, a comrade named Ying Weiqun, he is the deputy director of the Tangche County Government Office. He has been a revolutionary and worked all his life, but he did receive some unfair treatment when he was old. So I would like to report this to you, the Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee. Can you conduct a new investigation? We cannot wrongly accuse a good comrade, which will also have a negative impact on the work enthusiasm of other comrades." Feng Sizhe smiled and told the story of Ying Weiqun.

"Okay, I've got it. Ying Weiquan, right? I'll check it tomorrow." Xia Xiang wrote down the name in the notebook next to the phone while speaking.

"Haha, old leader, your work in Harbin Province is going well, right? Secretary Tian Longshan and Deputy Secretary Xiang Tong support your work." After saying this, Feng Sizhe casually chatted with Xia Xiang about the affairs of Harbin Province.

"Well, that's great. They are very supportive of my work." Xia Xiang said with a smile. These two people have a good relationship with Feng Sizhe and are very supportive of his work. It is precisely because of this support that his status in the entire Har Province has risen and he has worked very hard.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Feng Sizhe hung up the phone, saying that he had something else to do. After hanging up the phone, he said to Yingtao beside him, "Okay, the call has been made, you should be relieved."

"What? Is this what you call solving the problem? Can it be done with just one phone call?" Cherry, who didn't understand much, asked with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Haha, we'll know tomorrow whether it works or not." Feng Sizhe said with great confidence. If a dignified Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister goes to care about the work situation of a deputy section-level cadre, then there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Yingtao didn't understand all this, but seeing Feng Sizhe's confident look, she believed it a little. She knew that this man always gave her the feeling of being omnipotent, but when she thought about the fact that he did all this for her this time, she said a little embarrassedly, "Sizhe, I really didn't want you to help me this time. I just couldn't get over it, so I just complained to you. You don't think I'm the one who interferes with your work, do you?"
