Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Dongfang Renliang quickly dialed the number, and when he heard someone answering, he said, "Is this Minister Miao? I'm Dongfang Renliang."

Miao Zihan had already checked the incoming call and knew it was from Dongfang Renliang. She knew his intention even better. "Oh, it's Minister Dongfang. What can I do for you?"

Miao Zihan was speaking in an official tone, which was normal. After all, the two of them belonged to different camps yesterday and were fighting each other fiercely. Now they called him today. In what tone do you want others to talk to you?

Dongfang Renliang didn't notice Miao Zihan's calm tone, which even had a hint of coldness in it. He just thought that the two of them had different political views and were not familiar with each other, so it was normal for them to talk in this way. "That's right, Minister Miao. I want to report something to you."

"What's the matter? Is it about work?" Miao Zihan's voice was still flat, but her words conveyed another meaning, that is, if it was about work, it was fine, but if it was a personal matter, sorry, she was not interested.

Dongfang Renliang could not help but feel the coldness in Miao Zihan's words, but since he was going to talk about his daughter, he could not think too much about it. "Yes, it's about work. It's like this..."

Dongfang Renliang then told the story of his daughter being fired early in the morning. As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Zihan exclaimed, "What? Is there such a thing?"

Hearing that Miao Zihan was indeed surprised, Dongfang Renliang became even more certain of his idea. It seemed to be true. Minister Miao didn't know about this. It seemed that it must be the work of the people below. That was good enough.

"Yes, this is true. Minister Miao, something happened to my daughter that day. You are well aware of this. I think this punishment is too harsh for a girl like her. You have to know that girls need self-respect and face." Dongfang Renliang said as he thought to himself that if this matter could not be changed, it would be a real blow to his daughter. With the stain of being dismissed by a government unit in her file, she would probably never achieve anything in her life.

It would have been fine if Dongfang Renliang hadn't mentioned self-esteem, but once he did, Miao Zihan got mad. You also know that girls need self-esteem and face, right? If you knew this, why did you accuse yourself and Feng Sizhe of being a couple in front of so many people last night? Did you take other people's self-esteem and face seriously?

At this moment, Miao Zihan's anger grew even more, and her voice became even colder, "Well, Minister Dongfang, please wait a moment, I want to ask what is going on with this matter."

"Okay, I'll wait." Dongfang Renliang didn't even hang up the phone and just waited.

Miao Zihan thought to herself, "Okay, since you must reveal your true face, then I will do as you wish." Then, she spoke to the person outside the door in a loud voice, asking the office director to come in. In fact, these words were meant for Dongfang Renliang who was listening to everything.

The office director was the first person Miao Zihan turned to after she came to the Organization Department. His surname was Wei, and he was also an extremely smart person. After he understood the relationship behind Miao Zihan, he decided to become a member of the Miao faction. Therefore, Miao Zihan was relieved to leave the matter to him.

"Director Wei, what's going on with the Dongfangzhu incident? Tell me about it." After meeting Director Wei, Miao Zihan gave him a look and pointed at the mobile phone on the table.

Director Wei is also a smart person. He was just thinking that this matter was obviously arranged by you, so why are you asking me now? But when he saw the mobile phone on the table and saw that the screen was still on, he immediately understood, agreed, and then explained the matter.

"Minister Miao, the situation is like this... You once said that no matter who you are, you must not be late or leave early. Our organization department must set an example for all departments in the province. But now Comrade Dongfangzhu is not only late, but even today there is no explanation. The comrades below are also talking about it and are beginning to question your decision. In order to calm down the bad emotions at work, I have no choice but to do this. This is also to maintain the authority of Minister Miao."

Director Wei explained for a long time, and Dongfang Renliang heard it clearly. The more he listened, the more he confirmed his guess. The matter really had nothing to do with Miao Zihan. It seemed that it was all the work of Director Wei and his subordinates.

Miao Zihan was also very satisfied with Director Wei's answer and nodded. This person is very smart. But when he spoke, his attitude became serious again, "Hey, Director Wei, don't you know who this Dongfangzhu is?"

"Ah? Isn't she just a comrade who just graduated from college and came here for internship? Who else is she?" Director Wei was lying when he said this. The matter of the Traffic Police Corps has long been known to everyone, because one side is from Yu's faction and the other side is from Xu's faction, which has long been the focus of most cadres. Now he really said that he didn't know Dongfangzhu's identity, which was really a joke. No matter who the daughter of the provincial standing committee member is, as a cadre of the organization department, he must know the truth. Otherwise, if he accidentally offends these people one day, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"She is the daughter of Minister Dongfang. How can you be so rash in doing things? Why don't you report to me after making a decision?" Miao Zihan said to Director Wei in a serious tone.

"Ah, I really don't know." Director Wei answered as if he had suddenly realized what was going on.

"Okay, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future. You can go and do your work first." Seeing that Director Wei had finished his act, Miao Zihan waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

After Director Wei left, Miao Zihan picked up the phone again and said, "Minister Dongfang, I'm really sorry about this matter. I had no idea what the people below did. And this matter was too small, and they didn't report it to me. You see..."

Miao Zihan was still suppressing her anger at this time, and was talking peacefully with Dongfang Renliang. Although she was a woman, she was indeed the daughter of the Miao family. She deeply understood the principle that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, and Dongfang Renliang was undoubtedly the model of a villain, so it is better not to offend such a person publicly.

Dongfang Renliang now understood Miao Zihan. To be honest, his daughter's matter was too small and he would not report it to her at all. It was just like if such a small matter happened in the United Front Department, he as the head of the department might not know about it.

"Well, Minister Miao can't be blamed for this." Dongfang Renliang said this, of course, clearly pointing out that he was still angry, but he was angry at others. After saying this, he hesitated and said, "But Minister Miao, Dongfang Zhu is my daughter after all. If she is fired like this, I don't know what kind of impact will follow. So see if you can make an exception and let her go back to work, even if it's just for a while. After the probation period is over, I will transfer her to another unit."

Dongfang Renliang was still thinking about the impact that the incident would have on him. It could be said that if it had not brought him an extremely adverse impact, this matter would have probably just come to an end.

Dongfang Renliang's request was not excessive, but it did anger Miao Zihan, because she could clearly hear what Minister Dongfang meant. He was not considering his daughter's future, but what kind of influence this matter would bring to him.

Why should she make any concessions to such a villain who doesn't even care about his daughter?

"I'm sorry, Minister Dongfang, now that the decision has been made, it cannot be changed." Miao Zihan said in a deep voice.

There was not even a word of apology, just "I'm sorry", which made Dongfang Renliang feel very embarrassed. "Minister Miao, we are all comrades in the same trench, there is no need to be so drastic. I know that although this matter seems difficult to handle, the people below dare not say anything if you say a word."

"No, this is a matter of principle. I'm sorry I can't do it." Miao Zihan saw that Dongfang Renliang was getting too demanding and immediately became angry. Then she said, "Okay, I still have things to do here. If Minister Dongfang has nothing else to do, let's just leave it at that for now." After that, she simply hung up the phone without waiting for the other person to say anything.

Hearing the beeping sound coming from the phone, Dongfang Renliang was stunned. He felt that his face was once again trampled on by others.

"Hmph! In that case, don't blame me for putting pressure on you." After Dongfang Renliang said this to himself, he called the office of Deputy Secretary Yu Chunhao. This man is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and is in charge of personnel work. He is considered half of Miao Zihan's superior. He doesn't believe that Miao Zihan will not give him face when he comes forward.

After receiving the call in the office, Yu Chunhao also felt overwhelmed. Once the Dongfangzhu incident happened, the impact on Dongfang Accounting would undoubtedly be huge, and it would also have a very negative impact on the entire Yu system, which forced him to take care of this matter.

On the phone, Yu Chunhao comforted Dongfang Renliang and said that he would call to ask about it. Then he dialed a new number, but it was not Miao Zihan's office number, but Governor Feng Sizhe's office number.
