Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Thinking that Zheng Defu had the support of Feng Sizhe, Zou Anlin thought of tolerating him. But now that Secretary Ji had spoken, what was there to be afraid of? This time, I will let you know who has the final say in the Capital Province, he was thinking secretly in his heart at this moment.

Zheng Defu has been in high spirits these days. Feng Sizhe went to Xichuan City for inspection. Now he is the most powerful person in the provincial government. Plus, when he left, Governor Feng had made arrangements for other people to obey his orders. Comrades like Xia Yu and Yuan Weimin both support his work. This has made him feel inflated.

When he was in Kyoto before, he had never been in charge of the work of the municipal government. With the mayor, the executive vice mayor, and the standing vice mayor, it was basically impossible for him to preside over the work. But now it is different in the capital province. He can finally preside over the work with justification. So of course he will satisfy the addiction of being in power in the next few days.

Of course, Zheng Defu was also very clear that in Ducheng Province, the situation of the disciplinary faction being the only one in power was not one or two years. Even though he was the executive vice governor of the province and was in charge of daily work, this was already a very remarkable thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of real disciplinary people, these were nothing. Just like in the past two days, other vice governors would come here to report their work even if they were hindered by superficial relationships, but the independent standing committee vice governor Zou Anlin and another vice governor Xie Kaiquan simply ignored him and did not even come here to report their work.

Zheng Defu certainly hated these two people in his heart. Not for any other reason, just because they were both from the Ji family was enough.

When Zheng Defu first came to the capital, he was bullied by the Discipline Department. He was assigned to be responsible for flood prevention work. Think about it, he is a deputy mayor of Kyoto, staying at the feet of the emperor every day, and has developed a condescending work style. However, after coming to the capital province, he became the target of bullying. How could he not be angry?

Thinking of the principle of killing a chicken to warn others, Zheng Defu was ready to vent his anger on these two people, and finally chose Zou Anlin as a breakthrough point, because compared with the two, this person seemed to be easier to bully. Xie Kaiquan was Secretary Ji's adopted brother, and he didn't dare to bully him casually. If he angered him, he was afraid that he would be in trouble. Relatively speaking, Zou Anlin was much better, and he was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. If he could deal with him, I think his influence would be considerable.

For this reason, Zheng Defu began to find faults with the other party. Zou Anlin happened to be in charge of the provincial agricultural work. It happened that the agricultural work in the capital province had not been very effective in the past two years. So, based on this, he called Zou Anlin and gave him a good scolding.

Feng Sizhe never found any fault with himself during his tenure as governor, but Zheng Defu started to talk about him after only being in charge for two days. This made Zou Anlin very unhappy, but when he thought about it, this person was now in charge of the daily work of the provincial government, he thought about it and decided not to confront him openly, because he didn't know what the attitude of the discipline department was now. But now with Pang Yijun's message, he had a clue in his mind.

A sick leave note was placed on Zheng Defu's desk, and Zou Anlin went straight to the hospital without waiting for the other party's consent.

Before Zheng Defu figured out what Zou Anlin meant, the heads of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, the Provincial Department of Water Resources and other units came to his office and started to cry poor. The general meaning was that there was a lot of work to be done in agriculture now, and a lot of money was needed. Now that the deputy governor in charge was gone, they naturally asked him to solve the problem.

Zheng Defu also saw that this was something that had been discussed by the other party, just to make things difficult for him. But he was not panicking. It was just for money. How could a capital city not have money? Besides, the reason why they wanted money was so legitimate. So he called Fang Lingguang, the director of the Provincial Department of Finance, and told him that he had approved the order and asked the other party to pay.

Fang Lingguang on the other end of the phone agreed immediately. Zheng Defu was a little surprised by how quick the matter was, but he was still very happy. The Finance Department was willing to support his work, which gave him confidence. So he signed all the notes asking for money from agriculture and forwarded them to the Finance Department.

In Zheng Defu's opinion, the matter seemed to be resolved, but in the afternoon, those people came back to him again. They all said that they took the note to the Provincial Finance Department, but they didn't give them a penny.

Zheng Defu picked up the phone and called Fang Lingguang again, but this time he was not so forthcoming. He said that he would give the money, but the Provincial Department of Finance was not wealthy and had no spare money to spend, so it looked like he could only wait.

Although Fang Lingguang's words sounded nice, Zheng Defu still felt that the other party had no intention of withdrawing the money from the beginning to the end. The reason why he agreed so readily in the morning was simply to set a trap for him. Now that he has signed the contract, but cannot get the money, it will become a big joke.

If Fang Lingguang had not agreed so readily, Zheng Defu would not have signed those applications for money. But now he has signed, but he cannot get the money. Where is his prestige?

But when Zheng Defu realized this, it was too late. The leaders of the agricultural departments who had the documents he had signed kept pestering him, as if they would keep grinding him unless he paid. With no other options, he had to call Zou Anlin to ask what to do about this kind of thing.

Zou Anlin, who was pretending to be recuperating in the hospital, actually picked up the gun and said that he had a headache. His head was in a mess when he thought about work. The doctor had already told him to rest, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything at work for a while.

Zheng Defu started to curse after hanging up the phone. He now understood that Zou Anlin was using work to put pressure on him. Didn't you say that I couldn't do my job well? Well, from now on, you can take over these jobs. I want to see if you can achieve anything new.

Seeing that the departments asking for money were lining up, Zheng Defu had no choice but to call Feng Sizhe who was far away in Xichuan City.

Feng Sizhe was investigating the road conditions in Xichuan City at this time. As far as he could remember, after the big incident, Xichuan's external traffic was cut off, and it took several days to get it back online. This precious time also caused many lives to lose the best time to be rescued. For this reason, one of his main tasks in coming to Xichuan this time was to investigate the route issues. If possible, he wanted to build a few roads in a rush. Although it was impossible to build any cement roads in such a short time, there was still hope of building some gravel roads that could be used for traffic.

To be honest, the road conditions in Xichuan are really not that good. There are only four roads leading to the city, and the road surfaces of two of the four roads are severely damaged. Only then did he understand why in his previous life, when a major incident happened, traffic became one of the main problems that hindered the rescue of Xichuan.

If there is a problem, it must be solved. Feng Sizhe called Tang Gui, the provincial transportation director who was accompanying the governor's inspection team.

Tang Gui was about fifty years old, and perhaps due to genetics or excessive brain use when he was young, he was already a little bald. As soon as the governor called his name, he trotted over.

Speaking of which, Tang Gui has a very strong background. Being able to become the Provincial Transportation Director, he is definitely a powerful figure in the province and a solid director-level cadre. The reason he was able to stand out among many competitors was thanks to Ji Quanyong's chief secretary Yang Ding. With this relationship, he became the head of the Provincial Transportation Department.

When accompanying him to Xichuan City this time, Yang Ding also specifically instructed him not to offend the new governor, to listen to whatever he says, to do what he can at work, and to agree to it if he can't, and then find a way to deal with it later.

Tang Gui had just arrived in front of Feng Sizhe when Zheng Defu called. Young Master Feng picked up the phone as soon as he saw that it was Vice Governor Zheng. "Comrade Defu, what's the matter?"

"Governor..." When Zheng Defu heard Feng Sizhe's voice, it was like he had found his organization. He quickly told him about the problem that was bothering him.

"Well, I know about this matter. So, you can take care of it first. I think this matter can be resolved in less than three days." Feng Sizhe had long thought that Zheng Defu would not live in peace. If he wanted to establish his authority, someone would definitely counter him. Now it seems that something has happened. But it's better this way. Let this person fight with Zou Anlin and others. It will be a life-and-death fight for them. It will be impossible for them to unite to deal with him in the future.

"Yes, Governor." When Zheng Defu heard Feng Sizhe say that the matter could be resolved in three days, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he had a sense of conviction about this young man who was much younger than him. He thought that since this person could say such words, then things would definitely be done.

Tang Gui felt unhappy when he saw Feng Sizhe actually picked up the phone and moved him aside. He thought that with his status, few people would dare to treat him like this, especially when there were many leaders from other provincial departments watching not far away. He felt that he had lost face.

But even though he felt a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare show it on his face, because he remembered what Yang Ding said, which was not to provoke Feng Sizhe.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Sizhe didn't think too much about it. This is how it is in the officialdom. The leader's small matters are also big matters. It is very common to let subordinates wait for the leader to make a call before issuing instructions.
