Rebirth of the Rising Sun

About five minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the conference room, and finally Vice Governor Zou Anlin and Vice Governor Xie Kaiquan walked in together. As soon as they entered the office, Zou Anlin said embarrassedly, "Oh, there are too many official business, sorry for being late."

Although he said this, everyone could see that he didn't look embarrassed at all. It was conceivable that he did it on purpose.

Another vice governor, Xie Kaiquan, former member of the Standing Committee of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee and director of the Guochuan Development Zone, was even more arrogant. He didn't say a word and just found his seat and sat down. It seemed as if it was natural for him to be late, and that was what should happen.

Seeing all this, Zheng Defu was unhappy. These two people were really arrogant. One didn't explain, and was simply arrogant. The other said he was busy with work. Damn, isn't he busy because he took over the things he should be in charge of? It can be said that he was the most unhappy at this time.

Feng Sizhe watched all of this and secretly paid attention to everyone's expressions. He knew very well that the two of them were deliberately late to show him power. If he had a bad temper before, he would have been angry. But now he is the head of a province, and his personal realm has also improved. Even if others want to make him angry, he will not be angry. "Okay, everyone is here, let's start the meeting now."

Feng Sizhe had no intention of pursuing anyone, which was both expected and unexpected.

It was expected, because Feng Sizhe had just arrived and didn't know much about the situation in all aspects. In such a situation, it was the right way to talk less, watch more, and listen more. It was unexpected, because the less he got angry, the more it proved that his Qi cultivation skills had reached a certain level, which made everyone look at this young man with new eyes.

"Comrades, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Feng Sizhe. The central government sent me to work in Ducheng Province. This is a trust in me, and I also feel great pressure. First of all, I thank the central government and the organization for their affirmation of my work ability and for giving me such an opportunity. Secondly, since we meet each other, it is fate. I hope that in my future work, I can work together with you to improve the economic work of Ducheng Province in an all-round way, so that the people of Ducheng Province can truly enjoy the benefits brought to individuals by the good policies and economic reforms of the country. Many comrades may not know me. What you see is that I am very young. That's right, everyone here is older than me in terms of age. It's not too much for you to call me a little brother, and if you want, you can call me that in private, but I am very serious when I work. One is one, two is two. As long as you do your job well, it's okay. On the contrary, if you don't do the job at hand well, then I'm sorry, no matter who you are or what kind of merits you have made in the past, I will reward and punish you clearly."

When Feng Sizhe mentioned the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, several deputy provincial governors moved their bodies slightly, apparently they heard a different tone in his words.

"Okay, since this is the first time we meet, please introduce yourselves. First, please allow Comrade Zheng Defu to introduce himself." Feng Sizhe ended his opening remarks and passed the right to speak to Executive Vice Governor Zheng Defu.

Zheng Defu finally got a chance to speak, and he immediately began his speech. "Hello everyone, my name is Zheng Defu, and I used to be the deputy mayor of Kyoto. During my work in Kyoto, I united with my comrades, respected my leaders, worked diligently, cared about the people, and was loyal to the Party and the country..."

This guy might have really been too pent up to hold it back, and when he got the chance to speak he began to promote himself non-stop. He even started talking about his work in Kyoto. This speech lasted for thirty minutes, and some of the listeners fell asleep.

Come to think of it, Feng Sizhe said it very clearly. Everyone should introduce themselves and then the work at hand. It should be done in three or two minutes if fast, and at least ten minutes if slow. But looking at Zheng Defu now, he has no intention of doing so at all.

Standing Committee member and Vice Governor Zou Anlin frowned, but did not speak immediately. Perhaps he also knew that this was Feng Sizhe's first meeting after his arrival, and it would not be a good idea to find fault right away.

But Zou Anlin's silence did not mean that others would not speak. Soon a voice interrupted Zheng Defu's speech. "I say, Vice Governor Zheng, we are not the Organization Department. We don't want to hear about your great achievements. Now is the time to introduce yourself. You should just pick out the key points."

Zheng Defu was speaking enthusiastically when he heard someone interrupt his speech. He was very unhappy at the time. He looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who said this was Xie Kaiquan, the director of the Guochuan Development Zone. He was immediately unhappy, "What? Do I need you to teach me how to speak? Do you know what your identity is? I am the executive vice governor, and you are just a vice governor, or in other words, the director of a development zone. Is it your turn to speak here?"

Zheng Defu had been holding back his anger since he got off the plane. Now that he finally had a chance to speak, how could he let it go? He was just talking and was interrupted by someone else. You can imagine how angry he was.

Xie Kaiquan was not an ordinary person. If Ji Quanyong had not taken off the burden of SW Secretary and occupied a seat on the provincial party committee standing committee, he would still be a member of the Ducheng provincial party committee standing committee. He used to be very popular in Ducheng Province and was one of the top 15 people. Now he was evaluated like this by an outsider. How could he not be angry and how could he endure it?

"Zheng Defu, don't be so shameless!" Xie Kaiquan stood up suddenly and pointed at Zheng Defu's nose and said hatefully.

"What? What did you say? Say it again if you dare?" Zheng Defu was suddenly pointed at and scolded. One can imagine how angry he was.

"Don't be shameless, this is the capital, it's not your turn as an outsider to act wildly, you..." Xie Kaiquan said angrily. But he forgot that he also brought Feng Sizhe into the conversation. You know, for the capital province, Young Master Feng is also an outsider.

"What? What do you want to do? You want to fight? Fine, then go out and fight. Do you need to write a life and death statement? Let's fight to the death." Feng Sizhe looked at the two deputy governors in the governor's office meeting who actually started arguing like this. He immediately stood up and said very annoyedly.

On the surface, Feng Sizhe looked very angry, but in fact, he was somewhat happy. He had just arrived in the capital and was unfamiliar with many situations. If he could use Zheng Defu to pave the way and test the depth of the water, he could save a lot of trouble. Just like from the current situation, he could feel that Xie Kaiquan was not an ordinary person. Even the Standing Committee Vice Governor Zou Anlin did not say anything wrong about Zheng Defu, but he dared to jump out, which was enough to show that this person was not simple, and his identity should not be just a nominal vice governor and director of the Guochuan Development Zone.

As soon as Feng Sizhe stood up and yelled, Zheng Defu and Xie Kaiquan stopped arguing. They also felt that quarreling in such an occasion would be detrimental to their status.

"Okay, Comrade Zou Anlin, please introduce your work." Feng Sizhe watched the scene quiet down and continued to preside over the meeting.

"Okay, then I'll introduce myself. Although everyone knows me, since Acting Governor Feng wants me to say it, I'll say it again. My name is Zou Anlin. I'm in charge of the province's agricultural economy. I'm honored by the provincial party committee and government. I'm also in charge of provincial finance, supervision, land, human resources, social security and foreign affairs. I feel a lot of pressure, but I will work hard and strive for..."

Following Zou Anlin's introduction, other deputy provincial governors also introduced their work one by one.

At the end, Fu Changtao, the provincial government secretary general, spoke up. “My name is Fu Changtao. I’m called the provincial government secretary general, but I’m actually just a housekeeper. Everyone here is my leader. It’s my job to do whatever you need. I’ll do my best to serve you leaders, and you don’t have to be polite to me, haha.”

After Fu Changtao's speech, several deputy provincial governors also laughed, which seemed to dilute the quarrel between Zheng Defu and Xie Kaiquan.

"Okay, through the speeches just now, everyone has gotten to know each other. I won't say anything extra. Now I'll talk about the issue of Baichuan Building." Feng Sizhe said seriously.

When the matter of Baichuan Building was mentioned, the faces of all the deputy provincial governors became much more serious. Obviously, everyone knew how much pressure this incident brought to Ducheng Province. If it were not for this incident, Ji Quanyong would not have stepped down from the position of SW Secretary.

"Deputy Governor Zhao, why don't you explain the situation first?" Feng Sizhe spoke while looking at Vice Governor Zhao Wenbo who was sitting there.

As one of the vice governors of Ducheng Province, Zhao Wenbo was in charge of commerce, quality supervision, and industry and commerce. When Baichuan Building was completed, it was inspected by the provincial quality supervision department and some companies and enterprises moved in after it was deemed qualified. However, the building collapsed just over three months later. It cannot be said that he was negligent as a leader.

When his name was called, Zhao Wenbo stood up with a serious face, "Acting Governor Feng, as the provincial government leader in charge of the quality supervision department, I bear a certain responsibility in the Baichuan Building incident."

"Now is not a question of accountability. You should tell me the specific situation." Feng Sizhe waved his hand. What annoyed him most was that when a problem arose, the leader would first self-examine, as if he was not guilty after doing so. But is this really the case? Obviously, it is impossible.
