Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"I've made up my mind." Feng Sizhe said very seriously.

After getting out of his uncle's car and returning to Li Shuang's car, Feng Sizhe received a call from Ke Lan. He had a good impression of the daughter of Vice Premier Ke who had once been his little follower.

"Kelan, now that you know I'm leaving Kyoto, are you planning to see me off?" Feng Sizhe teased the other party as soon as the call was connected.

"Haha, Governor Feng, you are really amazing. It's just that you only guessed half right this time. It's not me who wants to see you off, it's my dad. How about it? When you have time, come to my house." Ke Lan giggled on the other end of the phone.

Hearing that it was Vice Premier Ke who invited him, Feng Sizhe did not dare to neglect it. He looked at the time and saw that it was lunch time. He immediately said, "If you don't bother me, I'll go over now."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the gate." Ke Lan didn't waste any time and hung up the phone after saying this.

On the way there, Feng Sizhe bought two bottles of good wine and two packs of good cigarettes. Although Vice Premier Ke didn't lack these things, the central government would provide them, but this represented his intention, and he couldn't go to the head of the party to have dinner empty-handed.

At the gate of Zhongnanhai, Ke Lan had been waiting here with a smile on his face. After a careful inspection by the armed police, he waved and let him go. In the car, Feng Sizhe asked mysteriously, "Why did your father think of seeing you off? Is there something wrong?"

"Aren't you good at guessing? Guess it yourself, haha." Ke Lan said with a smile. It was obvious that this girl had her own ideas and he would not reveal them easily.

Feng Sizhe knew that he would not get any results by asking any more questions, so he simply closed his eyes and rested. He did not believe that the leader would invite him to dinner for no reason. There must be a reason.

Feng Sizhe had a good feeling. When he and Ke Lan entered Ke Zhenye's house and saw that in addition to the leader, there was also a middle-aged man in his fifties, he understood that this man was not there to see him off, but was clearly there to arrange work for him.

"Hello, Chief." Feng Sizhe said politely when he saw Ke Zhenye.

"Haha, Sizhe is here. Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Yu Chunhao, deputy secretary of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee." After shaking hands with Feng Sizhe with a smile, Ke Zhenye pointed out the identity of the middle-aged man next to him.

Feng Sizhe smiled when he heard the name Yu Chunhao. In fact, he had been paying attention to the leadership resources of the provincial party committee since he had set his eyes on the position of governor of Ducheng Province. There was no doubt that Yu Chunhao had already entered his sight.

Yu Chunhao, 52 years old, is a member of the Standing Committee of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee, a full-time deputy secretary, and one of the direct subordinates of Vice Premier Ke. More importantly, he is also a representative of the outsiders in Ducheng Province, and the earliest nail that the central government drove into Ducheng Province. With such an identity at this age, his future is still promising. In addition, with the full support of Ke Zhenye, it will not be difficult for him to be promoted to deputy minister in the future.

"It's Deputy Secretary Yu. Hello, I'm Feng Sizhe." Young Master Feng smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.

"Hello, Governor Feng. We will be working together in the future. I hope you will take good care of me." Yu Chunhao also smiled and shook hands with Feng Sizhe. While he was speaking, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Originally, because of the Baichuan Building incident in Ducheng Province, the provincial party secretary Ji Quanyong had to step down and give an explanation to the central government and the people of the whole country. Yu Chunhao thought that this was an opportunity for him, so he still had some ideas about the position of governor. But he never expected that the central government would actually send Feng Sizhe to Ducheng Province to be the governor. This made his ideas completely go to waste. For no reason, he felt a little resentful towards Feng Sizhe, this sudden figure. In his opinion, if it were not for this young man, perhaps the position of governor would have been his.

"Haha, you're just nominated as the governor. You can't be considered the governor yet." Feng Sizhe said to Yu Chunhao with a smile.

After so many years in the officialdom, Feng Sizhe has a higher understanding of judging people. For some reason, he felt that Yu Chunhao's attitude towards him was not sincere, and it was more of a routine, so he could not help but be a little wary.

"Haha, we will be comrades working together in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet each other. Now our main task is to eat." Ke Zhenye has been in the officialdom for decades and has experienced all kinds of situations. Of course, he can see Yu Chunhao's dissatisfaction with Feng Sizhe. In fact, he knows the reasons best.

When Yu Chunhao was sent to work in Ducheng Province, he had said that he would definitely promote him as long as there was a suitable opportunity. This time, the incident in Ducheng Province was also seen as an opportunity by him, otherwise he would not have said at the meeting that he did not agree with Feng Sizhe's appointment as governor of Ducheng Province. However, the overall situation was determined at that time, and many leaders recognized the efforts of Young Master Feng, especially General Secretary Qin Xianghua, who had been persuaded by the Feng family, so Yu Chunhao's promotion was delayed. Based on this, he was angry, and Vice Premier Ke could understand it.

Four dishes and one soup, a standard working meal, three cadres from different leadership levels sat together.

At the dinner table, no one talked about anything other than work, they just chatted about family matters. Until the end, after the meal, when Ke Zhenye was seeing Feng Sizhe off, he said something to the effect that he hoped Feng Sizhe could work closely with Yu Chunhao and open up a new situation in Ducheng Province as soon as possible.

After seeing Feng Sizhe off, Ke Zhenye called Yu Chunhao to his study. He had something to say to his subordinate.

Yu Chunhao stood up and took the tea that Ke Zhenye handed over, then sat on the sofa straight, facing the old leader who had been promoted by him, he had a deep respect in his heart. But he also knew that the 17th National Congress would be held soon, after which Ke Zhenye would most likely step down, and at that time the biggest supporter of the central government that he relied on would no longer exist.

"Chunhao, this time the Central Committee decided to send Comrade Feng Sizhe to work in the capital province after careful consideration." Ke Zhenye mentioned the topic of the conversation. Although he did not want to talk about this topic, he knew that some things could not be avoided. In this case, it would be best to talk openly and resolve the problem.

"This time, not only Secretary Qin, but also many central leaders are supportive of this matter. Although I have also expressed my opinion, you know that individuals often have to obey the organization." Ke Zhenye said this without any intention of shirking responsibility. On the contrary, every word was true. Although the official position he said was very high, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Bureau, and Executive Vice Premier of the State Council, which made people seem to have a great status, many things could not be decided by him alone, especially when it came to Feng Sizhe's work, he was really powerless.

"Objectively speaking, Comrade Feng Sizhe is quite young, but he has other abilities. Only by sending such a cadre can the situation in Ducheng Province be resolved." Ke Zhenye, who had dealt with Feng Sizhe twice, was not opposed to the central government's decision. He knew very well that the central government was very principled in the issue of personnel selection, especially in the issue of personnel selection in important positions. It would never give out an important position like the governor as a favor. Young Master Feng definitely had his own abilities. Otherwise, he would not be able to get this position even if he begged for mercy.

"Yes, the old leader is right. I am also responsible for this matter. You arranged for me to go to Ducheng Province for three years, but I have not made any effective achievements in these three years. I am ashamed of the trust of the organization and the cultivation of the old leader..." Yu Chunhao wanted to explain something, but Ke Zhenye waved his hand. Obviously, he did not want to hear these official apologies. He had heard too many such words.

"Chunhao, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Capital Province does have its practical problems, but you have been there for three years after all. I have also given you the necessary help in many aspects. But why haven't you made any progress there? I think in addition to the long-term environmental factors, maybe your methods are also a little flawed. In other words, if the situation there had changed long ago, I would have more confidence in helping you fight for this position. Do you understand?" Saying this showed that Ke Zhenye was somewhat dissatisfied with Yu Chunhao.

Come to think of it, in three years, a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, a senior official with the support of a strong figure like Ke Zhenye, has not achieved any decent political achievements in Ducheng Province. Three years ago and three years later, Ducheng is still the same Ducheng, and it is still the same provincial party committee team with the provincial party secretary Ji Quanyong as the core, which is not good at implementing some central decisions. It is no wonder that Vice Premier Ke will not help Yu Chunhao to win the position of governor. Or it can be said that although he is the head of the province, he does not have the confidence because he cannot see any results.

"Yes, the old leader's criticism is correct. After I go back, I must make a good summary and strive to achieve results as soon as possible to bring honor to you." Yu Chunhao also knew that he did not perform very well in the past three years at work, but what else could he do? The entire Ducheng Province has always been under the control of Ji Quanyong. What role can he play alone? To put it bluntly, he thought it was already very difficult for him to occupy this position without any problems.

"Well, the work needs to be summarized, but this time there have been some changes in the team of your Ducheng Province. As an old man there, you should make full use of this change and try your best to do more things. This may be a good opportunity for you. In addition, Comrade Feng Sizhe was sent to Ducheng Province by the organization. As an old comrade, you should support his work as much as possible. Do you understand what I mean?" The reason why Ke Zhenye kept Yu Chunhao to talk to him alone was, to put it bluntly, he still wanted to teach him a few tricks.
