Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Political Commissar Jin is a military man. Normally, the military should not interfere in local politics, but he still did so. This can only mean one thing: someone must have spoken, and this person has a great influence on the military, which is why Political Commissar Jin called him despite being accused of interfering in politics.

No matter what, he is also the leader of the municipal party committee. Since he is the leader of the municipal party committee, he has to respect him. Moreover, if the county armed forces department can get help from the superior military sub-district, it will obviously be much easier to do the work. For this reason, he respectfully agreed on the phone. However, after hanging up the phone, Li Wanli did not contact Feng Sizhe immediately. He wanted to see if this was a hopeless person. Even if there was pressure from above, he would act according to the situation. In fact, it was not his fault. After all, Feng Sizhe was too low-key and too weak after coming to Dahu County.

But today at the Standing Committee meeting, Feng Sizhe made a beautiful counterattack, first diverting everyone's attention, and then suddenly made a big move to take down Zheng Jian. This set of actions was very beautiful, and he couldn't help but say "good" in his heart. To be honest, from what happened today, Feng Sizhe is still very politically wise, which also made Li Wanli make up his mind. If Feng Sizhe is really capable and he is also a person who really works, then what's wrong with supporting him?

Now, he was listening to Fang Xianzhi and He Zhuhua discussing Feng Sizhe, and he was also sitting here listening carefully to see what everyone's impression of Feng Sizhe was.

Of course, Fang Xianzhi and He Zhuhua would now say that Feng Sizhe was good, not for anything else, but because the young county chief Feng touched the interests of the Dahu local gang, which was a common point between the two of them. For such a big helper who suddenly appeared, the two of them naturally welcomed it with open arms. Not only would they welcome it, they would also try their best to help Feng Sizhe within the scope of their ability.

After a few glasses of wine, Fang Xianzhi talked more and more. He did not treat He Zhuhua and Li Wanli as outsiders. He spoke frankly about the fact that Deputy Mayor Sun Zhongping of the Municipal Party Committee called and asked them to take care of Feng Sizhe.

He Zhuhua was also surprised to hear that someone in the municipal committee was also paying attention to Feng Sizhe and seemed to support him. Li Wanli was even more surprised. It turned out that not only Political Commissar Jin but also Deputy Mayor Sun were secretly helping Feng Sizhe. It seemed that this Feng Sizhe was really someone important.

"Zhuhua, I think you should take some time to call Minister Li and ask him about Feng Sizhe's background. This way we will have a better idea of ​​the situation. This will be a decisive factor in how much support we will give him in the future. Don't you think so?" Fang Xianzhi looked at He Zhuhua and put forward his own idea.

Needless to say, Minister Li is a member of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Propaganda, Li Lianxue. Minister Li is related to He Zhuhua. It was because Minister Li called Fang Xianzhi to ask him to take care of He Zhuhua that the two of them got to know each other and gradually became friends. At present, Fang Xianzhi also wanted to know who Feng Sizhe's backer was, but he had no choice but to ask He Zhuhua to make a phone call to ask.

He Zhuhua nodded and said, "Okay, I will ask Minister Li when the time is right."

"Well, good, haha. Comrade Feng Sizhe's main task now is the county's agricultural work, which is the top priority of the county's economic work. If I'm not mistaken, this work will inevitably cause some friction if it continues. So I want to unify my views with you two here. If we need to move some people in the future, please support County Magistrate Feng with me. What do you think?"

Fang Xianzhi was of course aware that if Feng Sizhe wanted to carry out his work well, he would inevitably affect the interests of the localists. If there was no one supporting him at that time, it would be very difficult for him to carry out his work. In order to make a big change in the agricultural work of Dahu County, and to allow Feng Sizhe to better affect the interests of the localists, he decided to help him with all his strength. Of course, his own strength was not enough, and he still wanted to get the support of He Zhuhua and Li Wanli. As long as he had these two or three people, he would have three people on his side. With the support of Feng Sizhe, he would have the strength to compete with the localists.

"Well, I agree." He Zhuhua nodded.

Of course, Li Wanli would not disagree. First, there was the call from Political Commissar Jin, and now there was Fang Xianzhi's hint, so he nodded and said, "I agree too."

"Haha, okay, come, let's have a drink for the changes in Dahu County and for a bright future for Dahu County." Fang Xianzhi was indeed in a good mood today, and they raised a glass of wine together.

Still tonight, in the room of Dahu County Guesthouse, Feng Sizhe made a phone call and received another one.

The call was made to the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Wu Guangrong. Because there were too many people around during the day and it was difficult to meet and talk, he had to wait until night when there was no one around before calling to express his gratitude for what happened at the Standing Committee meeting today.

Wu Guangrong did not take credit for himself, but said that everything was what he should do. Not to mention that someone greeted him, just what Feng Sizhe did today was very much to his liking. He had long been dissatisfied with the practices of the local forces in Dahu County, but he had never found a good opportunity. Today, Feng Sizhe created a good opportunity for him. It would be strange if he didn't seize it and perform well.

The two of them talked over the phone for a while, and agreed to work together in the future. Feng Sizhe then hung up the phone. Just after he hung up the phone, it rang again. When he picked it up, it turned out to be the head of the United Front Work Department, Jia Bin.

During the call, Jia Bin first congratulated Feng Sizhe on his victory at the Standing Committee meeting today, and then said that he admired Feng Sizhe's work very much. If anything happens in the future, he will stand firmly with him. Of course, at the end of the call, he did not forget to ask Feng Sizhe to say hello to Political Commissar Jin on his behalf. After all, he had also received a hint from Political Commissar Jin on the phone.

During the phone call, Feng Sizhe very politely thanked Jia Bin for his personal support, and said that he would also fully support the county's united front work. Of course, he would not forget to convey Minister Jia's greetings to Political Commissar Jin, and so on. In short, the tone of the alliance between the two was determined during the short phone call.

After answering and making a phone call, Feng Sizhe leaned on the sofa in the room to rest, thinking about what happened that day and where to focus his work next. Just when he wanted to take a good rest, there was a knock on the door, followed by an unfamiliar voice, "Is County Magistrate Feng in the room? I'm Zhang Youlun."

"Zhang Youlun?" Feng Sizhe was stunned at first when he heard the name, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Youlun was one of the eight deputy county chiefs in Dahu County who had not yet been elected to the Standing Committee, and he was the most backward one. He was in charge of tourism, cultural relics management, and press and publishing. It could be said that in the very backward Dahu County, these jobs were almost all nominal positions. In other words, he was just a deputy county chief in name only, and he actually had no real power. Needless to say, such a deputy county chief suddenly came to see me, he must have seen that I was very impressive at the Standing Committee, and wanted to see if there was a chance to get close to me and seek a better position.

"County Magistrate Zhang? Come in quickly." Feng Sizhe only thought about it for a moment before deciding on a plan to promote Zhang Youlun. Regardless of whether he now has a seat in the Standing Committee, it must be said that when it comes to the County Magistrate's Office Meeting, he, including County Magistrate Fang Xianzhi, is still a disadvantaged group. Facing the power of Qi Hengsan to win over five deputy county magistrates, it is really difficult to pass some things in the County Magistrate's Office. In this way, it becomes very necessary to win over some deputy county magistrates standing in the middle, even if they are ranked at the bottom, because ranking at the bottom today does not mean it will be the same in the future.

Feng Sizhe even stood up to greet Zhang Youlun in person. When Zhang Youlun pushed the door open and saw Feng Sizhe walking towards him with a smile on his face, he was somewhat excited. He quickly bowed respectfully and said like a subordinate meeting his superior: "County Magistrate Feng, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late at night."

"No, no, you're too polite, County Magistrate Zhang. Normally I'd like to invite you but I can't. Haha, come and take a seat." Feng Sizhe nodded secretly when he saw Zhang Youlun's humble attitude.

If you want to have a good future in officialdom, you must learn to judge the situation. In officialdom, what matters is rank, and only people of the same rank are judged by their qualifications. Now, although Feng Sizhe and Zhang Youlun are both deputy county governors, one is a deputy county governor who has fallen behind and has no future, while the other is indeed a young and promising deputy county governor who has also become a member of the county standing committee. In this comparison, the two are different. You must know that the executive deputy county governor can preside over the daily work of the county government when the county governor is absent. In other words, Feng Sizhe can exercise the power of the county governor in many cases, which is something Zhang Youlun cannot compare with.

Zhang Youlun may have known this, so he acted very modestly in front of Feng Sizhe. He may have known that if he wanted to get close to Feng Sizhe, he would have to humble himself. When asking for help from others, who has ever seen someone begging for help with an arrogant attitude?

After some politeness, Zhang Youlun sat on the sofa below Feng Sizhe. Feng Sizhe personally poured him a cup of hot tea, which he took with both hands, and then sat half of his buttocks on a corner of the sofa.

Zhang Youlun's attitude was really a bit humble. Normally, only subordinates would behave like this when meeting their superiors. But today, Zhang Youlun actually used this approach. Obviously, he wanted to give Feng Sizhe a feeling that he came to ask for a favor. Anyway, my attitude is in place, it's up to you whether you accept it or not.

He doesn't know much about Zhang Youlun and Feng Sizhe. As he has been conducting research in towns and villages for some time, he is not very familiar with the situation of other people in the county. Even his impression of the dozen or so members of the county party committee is limited to the opinions of He Wenbao and Zhou Xingxing. He himself does not have any real evaluation.

Today, Zhang Youlun sat opposite him. This was a great opportunity to take a look at him. Feng Sizhe took a sip of hot tea and laughed, "How old is County Magistrate Zhang this year?"

Asking about age right away seems like two ordinary people chatting, just like asking how old an old man is when seeing him. But in fact, Feng Sizhe has his own considerations. If Zhang Youlun is not too old, it proves that he is worth training. With loyalty and practical actions, and good working ability, Feng Sizhe will treat him as his own team, and Zhang Youlun's future will be bright. In other words, if he is too old, forget it, just treat him as an ally, and adjust his work at the right time to make his jurisdiction better, which is also worthy of him.

Zhang Youlun had not expected Feng Sizhe to ask his age right away. He thought it was just a polite remark, so he answered truthfully, "Haha, I'm 43 years old." After saying this, Zhang Youlun sighed in his heart. In terms of age, he was years older than Feng Sizhe, but he had to come and ask this young man for help today. Thinking about it, this was a somewhat embarrassing thing.

"Oh, forty-three years old." Feng Sizhe nodded after hearing this. It was indeed not easy to become a deputy director-level cadre at the age of forty-three in Dahu County. According to national regulations, county and department cadres retire at the age of fifty-five, so he still had twelve years to run. In these twelve years, as long as Zhang Youlun could follow Feng Sizhe's footsteps, there would naturally be no problem for him to reach the county and department level, and he could even enter the bureau level, and it would not be difficult for him to be promoted to deputy bureau director or even bureau director.

Zhang Youlun didn't know what Feng Sizhe was thinking. When he heard Feng Sizhe talking about his age in a thoughtful manner, he was also confused. "County Magistrate Feng, yes, is there any problem?"

"Oh, no. Haha, the work that County Magistrate Zhang is in charge of now should be tourism, cultural relics and press and publishing, right?" Feng Sizhe changed his tone and asked about Zhang Youlun's division of work.

"Yes, hehe, that's what I'm in charge of. County Magistrate Feng has a really good memory. Alas, you also know that in Dahu, a poor county, these divisions of labor are equivalent to having no work at all. Every day when I get to the office, I drink tea and read newspapers, and then wait for the time to get off work and go home. It's really boring. When I joined the party, I was also ambitious, but... Alas, reality is often cruel."
