Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"It's Mayor Lu, hello, hello, I'm Tang Jian." Although the other party was just the mayor of a prefecture-level city, Tang Jian did not dare to underestimate him at all. He knew very well that he was a member of the Lu family. Besides, a mayor in his thirties and a bureau-level cadre had a bright future in the future. Maybe in a few years, he would be at the same level as himself, or even surpass himself. It was entirely possible.

As for a person with such a bright future, how could Tang Jian possibly show off in front of him? So his attitude when speaking was completely as if he treated the other party as a comrade of the same level.

"Haha, Secretary Tang, I've also seen the news reports about Xichuan City. Hey, isn't this Feng Sizhe making too big a deal? For the sake of his own show, he has implicated so many people. This really shocks me. Of course, besides being shocked, I also feel a little angry. Is there no one who cares about this kind of thing? Are we just going to let such a miserable thing happen in our republic, right under everyone's noses?" Lu Xingye was on the other end of the phone, his voice getting louder and louder. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a very high-ranking leader.

Of course, Tang Jian was not stupid enough to yell at the other party. He just smiled foolishly on the phone, but he was thinking in his heart, "Feng Sizhe wants to die, what can I do?"

After venting his dissatisfaction, Lu Xingye seemed to calm down a little, and then he said, "Secretary Tang, although we have never met, I am very familiar with your name. Especially in recent times, the public security situation in Ducheng Province has improved significantly. I know that this is inseparable from Secretary Tang's efforts."

Hearing that Lu Xingye actually praised him, Tang Jian smiled politely and said, "No, no, Mayor Lu praised me, but I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

Although he said this, Tang Jian was actually very cautious in his heart. He knew that the other party would not praise him for no reason. He had to be careful that the other party did not set any trap for him.

"Haha, Secretary Tang is really too modest. The thing is, I think Secretary Tang is very capable, and I want to make friends with you. I wonder what you think." Lu Xingye laughed and slowly threw out a tentative topic, which was that he wanted to become good friends with Tang Jian.

Being able to make friends with Lu Xingye is of course a good thing for Tang Jian. Although he is from the Ji family, he also knows that Ji Quanyong is already old and may leave the capital province in a few years, and then go to Kyoto to take up a new position with the background of Mr. Fang. By that time, as a member of the Ji family, he will have no big backer, and it will be difficult for him. If he can climb up the big tree of the Lu family before that, it will be quite beneficial for his future development.

Tang Jian is now only the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Although he is not young anymore, everyone has dreams, just like him. He still hopes that he can work hard for a few more years and serve as the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee for a term, or even better, as the Governor for a term. In that case, he will be satisfied even if he retires.

It was precisely because of his greed that he readily accepted the olive branch thrown by Lu Xingye. "Haha, I have always admired Mayor Lu. It has always been my hope to be friends with Mayor Lu, haha."

Lu Xingye on the other end of the phone sneered in his heart, with a gleam in his eyes.

In fact, he looked down on Tang Jian. As the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, the public security situation in the entire Ducheng Province was indeed among the worst in the country. If you said that such a cadre was capable, he would not believe it even if you beat him to death.

But Lu Xingye still called Tang Jian. The reason was very simple. In Lu Xingye's opinion, Tang Jian was still useful in the short term.

"Haha, that's fine. Secretary Tang is a few years older than me, so I'll call you Brother Tang." Although the other party was very disdainful in his heart, Lu Xingye was still full of excitement when he was on the phone. If you didn't know, you would really think that he was very happy in his heart to make such a friend.

"Haha, then I will call you Brother Lu." Tang Jian was also very happy. He could be on good terms with Lu Xingye, the most promising and most promising member of the third generation of the Lu family. This was of course what he wanted.

"Well, Brother Tang, since we are brothers, there is something I have to tell you." After Lu Xingye laughed, his tone suddenly became serious. This change in tone made people who didn't know what was going on think that something big was going to happen.

"What's the matter? Please come in, Brother Lu." Tang Jian had obviously fallen into Lu Xingye's trap and asked carefully and cautiously.

"It's like this, Brother Tang. All the leaders in the central government now know about Xichuan. They are very unhappy and dissatisfied about such a thing happening in the city under the jurisdiction of your Ducheng Province. One leader even said that the problem in Xichuan is not just Feng Sizhe's problem. Ducheng Province and cities also have problems. Don't they have anyone who can step forward to stop this from happening?" On the phone, Lu Yexing imitated the accent of a certain big shot and said this.

In fact, no leader in the central government has expressed any public opinion on the matter of Xichuan.

Although the news of Nishikawa's incident spread to Kyoto very quickly, as the head of the government, who is not full of wisdom? Before the matter was finalized, who would say anything publicly? Even if some people were dissatisfied after reading about this matter, they would not say anything in public, because it was politically immature to define the matter before the dust settled.

But Lu Xingye did lie because he knew that Tang Jian was only a figure in the capital province, and he had no connections in Kyoto.

Tang Jian actually believed Lu Xingye's nonsense.

Tang Jian thought so. Would the Lu family lie to him? So when these words reached his ears, he would of course believe them completely, and even said in cooperation, "Yes, the chief criticized it, but as soon as Feng Sizhe returned to the capital, he claimed that he would take full responsibility for this matter. In this case, we can't say anything."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Lu Xingye seemed to be hearing about this for the first time. In fact, with the Lu family's network of connections, he had heard about these things a long time ago. It was precisely because of hearing these things that he thought about it again and again and called Tang Jian. He now knew that the ability of the leaders of the capital province could not stop Feng Sizhe. But if they couldn't stop him head-on, it was still possible that they could do something behind his back.

"Yes, that's right. So, Brother Lu, we also have our own difficulties that are hard to explain." Tang Jian said as if he was explaining very seriously.

"Okay, if that's the case, I will report the true situation to the higher-ups." Lu Xingye said with a righteous look.

Hearing that Lu Xingye was willing to speak for him, Tang Jian's face lit up, "Thank you, thank you, brother Lu."

"Hey, since we are good friends, why do we still need to say thank you. But the thing is, Brother Tang, this is what I think. Although you can't do anything openly, there won't be any problem if you do something secretly. If you do nothing, and your superiors are furious because of this matter and want to take action against the leaders of your capital province, I can't speak for you, right?" Lu Xingye said with a look of consideration for Tang Jian.

Tang Jian thought about it and realized that it made sense. If he did nothing, and the higher-ups really wanted to punish the leaders of Ducheng Province because of this incident, he would have nothing to explain. Thinking of this, Tang Jian suddenly realized something and asked, "Then, brother Tang, please show me a way. What should I do next?"

"It's very simple. I believe that the people of Xichuan City will oppose this disaster relief exercise. In this case, you can use your influence to let the people of Xichuan City stand up and oppose this disaster relief exercise. You must know that the central government attaches great importance to public opinion. As long as the people disagree with something, the leaders will be very cautious. Haha, do you understand?" Lu Xingye seemed to be giving Tang Jian some advice, but in fact he was telling Tang Jian in another way what to do next and how to oppose Feng Sizhe.

Lu Xingye's words were like a revelation, instantly waking Tang Jian up. Yes, he couldn't openly oppose Feng Sizhe, but he could use his influence to let the people of Xichuan start a commotion first, which could be considered a roundabout way to save the country. In this way, the people of Xichuan could obstruct Feng Sizhe's work, making more people understand that Governor Feng's actions were not for the good of the local people, and were not considered from the people's interests, but purely for personal show. In this way, one can imagine how much of a blow to Feng Sizhe's personal authority would be.

Secondly, Tang Jian also did some work on the side. In this way, if things really turn out to be the worst and the leaders of other provincial party committees in the capital are held accountable, he will have an excuse. At least he did not do nothing, but because of Feng Sizhe's identity, he only did some work behind the scenes.

It can be said that Lu Xingye's idea for Tang Jian was fully considered. In fact, Lu Da Shao also knew that if he wanted someone of Tang Jian's status to do things for him, or to do things that benefited him but not Feng Sizhe, it would obviously not work without giving him certain benefits and a good excuse. So, after thinking about it, he came up with this idea.
