Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Ji Quanyong was sitting in his office chair with his eyes squinted. Opposite him, SW Secretary Xu Chaoqi, Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Pang Yijun, Political and Legal Committee Secretary Tang Jian, Organization Department Minister Su Hanmin, Propaganda Department Minister Mou Ximing, and Sichuan Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Dawei were all sitting here.

These people are the reliable team around Ji Quanyong. Of course, in the provincial party committee, the strength of the Ji faction is far more than that. For example, the Minister of United Front Work Mei Guolong, the Standing Committee Vice Governor Zou Anlin and the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee Zheng Qinghe did not show up. Of course, the reason why these people showed up this time was mainly because the things they discussed had little to do with the few people who were not present.

"Old leader, our Ducheng Airport really needs to be rebuilt. Our sister cities all have quite modern airports, which have brought them many benefits. But our Ducheng Province is indeed lagging behind in this regard." As the former governor and current SW secretary, Xu Chaoqi has a relatively clear understanding of the province's economic work.

Speaking of which, this issue has been discussed many times. The old Ducheng Airport was built in the early 1980s. It was quite large at that time, but who would have thought that the reform and development in recent years would be so rapid. The old airport can no longer meet the economic development needs of Ducheng Province. Moreover, due to the underestimated estimate at that time, the area of ​​Sichuan City has been expanding continuously in recent years, and the airport has become very close to the urban area. As a result, various changes have been reflected. Apart from anything else, the noise from the planes taking off and landing at the airport every day is unbearable.

In fact, the plan to build a new airport has been in the works for a long time. When Ji Quanyong was the secretary, he had thought about it, made plans for it, and submitted relevant reports to the central government. However, everyone knows that building a modern, first-class airport requires a lot of money, and the question is, where does the money come from? If the central government does not support it, the money problem will naturally become the biggest problem facing us today.

After Xu Chaoqi finished saying this, everyone fell silent and turned their eyes to Ji Quanyong. Everyone was waiting for the big boss to make a decision.

In fact, Ji Quanyong knew very well what everyone was thinking. Building an airport seemed like a big project, but in fact, it was also a great political achievement. It was like a piece of fat meat, which was urgently needed for a growing person. The reason why he invited these people to his office was to figure out who would take the lead in building the airport.

After slowly opening his eyes and looking around at everyone, Ji Quanyong finally spoke out about the matter. "Building an airport is no small matter. It is related to the economic development of the capital province in the next few decades. For the sake of safety and to shut up other people, I think Lao Pang and your Discipline Inspection Commission should step in and supervise the use of money. Lao Tang, you should also contribute and cooperate in public security. Lao Su, you can represent the organization to keep a close eye on the use of personnel at the airport. Of course, relevant reports from Lao Mou and other departments are also necessary. Some things are not enough to just do. Do you also need to let people know? And finally, Lao Yang, your Sichuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government must fully cooperate. This airport is built on your land. You can't make trouble from it."

At the same time, Ji Quanyong called out the names of all the people in the room. Of course, he did not mention Xu Chaoqi's name directly, but if the airport was really built, as the secretary of SW, this achievement would definitely not be missed.

After listening to Ji Quanyong distributing the benefits to everyone truthfully, everyone present nodded and said that they would cooperate with the work. For things like this that aimed at gaining political achievements, even if you didn't let them cooperate, they would find ways to get involved.

"Well, I've thought about it. Everyone is very busy at work, so I think we should let Comrade Xie Kaiquan be in charge of the on-site command of the airport. I think the provincial party committee can also set up a working group for this matter, with Comrade Xu Chaoqi as the team leader and the others in office as team members." Ji Quanyong looked at everyone nodding, and then he put forward his second point of view.

Xie Kaiquan used to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee, but because Ji Quanyong suddenly removed his identity as SW Secretary, the number of Standing Committee members became 16, which did not conform to the policy of odd numbers in the organization. As a result, Xie Kaiquan was removed from the Standing Committee. Of course, because of this incident, Ji Quanyong felt that he owed Xie Kaiquan a favor, so now he was using this method to compensate him?

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard that the on-site commander of the airport construction fell on Xie Kaiquan. In fact, these people agreed, but they were jealous in their hearts. Xie Kaiquan was really lucky. He just lost the title of member of the provincial party committee, and then he got a big bargain as the commander of the airport construction. You know, it will probably take three or four years to build this airport, and the funds involved will reach billions. Whoever can lead this matter will undoubtedly increase unlimited power, and the benefits and interests that can be sought are also very large. It can even be said that the benefits are even far greater than the halo of a member of the provincial party committee.

Although everyone envied Xie Kaiquan in their hearts, no one said it out loud, because everyone knew that in the capital province, what Ji Quanyong said was an imperial decree, which was always unique, and no one dared to refute or protest.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

In the Capital Provincial Government, Feng Sizhe was listening to the report from his secretary Yin Fenglei.

"Boss, these are the information about Baichuan Building. Because time is tight, these are all we can find." Yin Fenglei took a thick stack of information and placed it in front of Feng Sizhe.

Feng Sizhe still admired Yin Fenglei's ability. It was obviously not easy for him to find so much information in such a short time. "Well, put it here first, I'll take a look at it later."

"Boss, Comrade Liu Tinghan, director of the Provincial Banking Regulatory Bureau, came to report to you this morning. Deputy Secretary-General Wang pushed him aside because you were attending a meeting at the Provincial Party Committee at the time." Yin Fenglei reported on the relevant work. This was also what Wang Ruihua specifically told him just now. He felt it was necessary to report to the boss.

"Okay, I see. How about this, you make an appointment with him on the phone and ask him to come to my place at four o'clock in the afternoon." Feng Sizhe nodded. Liu Tinghan was the person introduced to him by Xi Meidan, so he should be reliable. As an outsider, what he needed was to establish a small circle first and use various methods and channels to find the entry point for future work. Obviously, as the provincial banking regulatory bureau in charge of the banking industry, his position was undoubtedly very important.

"Yes, I'll contact him right away." Yin Fenglei nodded and retreated. After following Feng Sizhe, he had become accustomed to the work method of leaving after reporting the work. He knew very well that the leader he followed was very courageous, visionary, and smart. For some things, he only needed to report. The boss had his own way of doing things.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the small conference room of the Ducheng Provincial Government, the first governor's office meeting after Feng Sizhe took office as acting governor was held as scheduled.

Just like the provincial party committee, the staff of the provincial government of Ducheng Province is also very bloated. Compared with the five or seven vice governors in other provinces, Ducheng Province has eleven vice governors. In addition to Feng Sizhe himself and the secretary general of the provincial government, there are thirteen people attending the governor's office meeting, which is quite large. The meeting was recorded by Comrade Yin Fenglei, deputy director of the provincial government office.

This was also the first Governor's Office Meeting that Feng Sizhe attended after coming to Ducheng Province. The difference from the morning was that he had no chance to speak at the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. But now it was different. As the acting governor, he was the head of the provincial government. The meeting would be presided over by him, and the pace and content of the meeting would also develop according to his wishes.

It was agreed that the meeting would start at 2 o'clock, but one comrade had not arrived yet. Feng Sizhe looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that one minute had passed.

More than a dozen people sat there, no one spoke, there was only the sound of puffing, needless to say, there were quite a few heavy smokers here.

Feng Sizhe did not smoke, but sat there, waiting for the arrival of the last two vice governors. About five minutes later, Executive Vice Governor Zheng Defu became impatient, "Secretary General Fu, make a phone call to see what's going on. We can't keep waiting for him alone."

In the morning's provincial committee meeting, Zheng Defu had not had a chance to speak, but was instead given a drought prevention task, which made him very depressed. Now it was the governor's office meeting, and as the executive vice governor and the second-in-command of the provincial government, he finally had the opportunity to issue orders, so how could he give it up?

Hearing Zheng Defu say this, Feng Sizhe revealed a barely perceptible smile. Under the current circumstances, he could make good use of this person and let him vent his anger, which might be of infinite benefit to his work.

Fu Changtao, the provincial government secretary general, stood up, took out his cell phone and walked out. No matter what, Zheng Defu was also the executive vice governor, and he had to listen to his words.

After about two minutes, Fu Changtao came back and said, "Acting Governor Feng, Vice Governor Zou and Vice Governor Xie are on their way here and should be here soon."

"Yeah." He answered Fu Changtao with a nasal tone to show his dissatisfaction.
