Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Chapter 231: Fame without power is in vain

As the executive deputy county magistrate, Feng Sizhe was in charge of the finance department. It was just that Qi Hengsan controlled the work of the county government, so he did not manage the department that he should be in charge of. But no matter what, even the management of the county's agricultural work could not be separated from the support of the financial department. That's why he asked Zhou Xingxing to call Director Wang Changwu yesterday afternoon. However, he did not expect that the other party would be so arrogant and use the excuse of being too busy at work, saying that he would come to report on his work when he was not busy in two days. However, he never expected to meet him here, and when he saw him, he was still playing mahjong. Feng Sizhe really wanted to see how the director of finance would answer his questions.

Wang Changwu still had a charming smile on his face, but when he heard Feng Sizhe's gentle reminder, he was stunned at first, but soon his face returned to normal, and then he laughed and said, "County Magistrate Feng, I didn't mean to not report my work to you. I'm really busy with work. Didn't you see it all?"

As the director of the Finance Bureau of a county, Wang Changwu believed that he had a deep network of connections and a strong foundation. He did not take Feng Sizhe, the young outsider county magistrate, seriously at all. The reason why he spoke to Feng Sizhe in a humble manner just now was just out of basic courtesy in officialdom. But Feng Sizhe actually wanted to be aggressive, so Wang Changwu was not going to indulge him. Just now he addressed Feng Sizhe as "you", but now the address has been changed to "you", which is a change of attitude.

"Busy with work?" Feng Sizhe was stunned. Just when he was about to say something, he heard He Wenbao cough behind him. Then he looked back and saw that whether it was He Wenbao, Zhou Xingxing or Zhang Youlun, they all nodded silently.

At this moment, although Feng Sizhe didn't know what they meant, he guessed that there must be some hidden secrets. Since he couldn't do anything to Wang Changwu for the time being, he might as well turn his fire on other people. His hand loosened from Wang Changwu's and shook the mayor Wang Benyi's. "Mayor Wang, I have something very strange. Didn't you receive a call from the county government office? Didn't you know that I was going to Chengguan Town for an inspection this morning? How come your town government didn't even arrange a receptionist?"

"Ah? Regarding this matter..." Wang Benyi wanted to say that he didn't know. Indeed, he really didn't know. No one told him that Feng Sizhe would come to Chengguan Town Government in the morning. Otherwise, he would definitely stand in the town government compound waiting. He was still clear about this most basic etiquette.

But when Wang Benyi wanted to explain something, Wang Guanghe, who had been sitting there motionless, spoke again, "I was the one who received the notification call, and I didn't tell Mayor Wang, so he did nothing wrong. If you have any ability, just come after me. I am Wang Guanghe, the secretary of Chengguan Town."

It seemed that he was not afraid of Feng Sizhe at all. Wang Guanghe took the initiative to take the responsibility and even asked Feng Sizhe shamelessly if he had the ability to attack him.

This is not the attitude that a subordinate should have towards his subordinate. At this moment, Feng Sizhe hadn't done anything yet, but Zhang Youlun got angry first. After all, he was also the deputy county magistrate. "Wang Guanghe, what's your attitude? What do you mean by "if you have the ability, I will attack you"? Do you think these are street thugs fighting for territory? I'm telling you, admit your mistake to County Magistrate Feng immediately, otherwise..."

"How about this? I'm telling you, Zhang Youlun, it's not your turn to speak here. You're just a worthless deputy county chief. What right do you have to yell at me? I'm asking him now. It has nothing to do with you. You'd better shut up."

Surprisingly, Wang Guanghe's attitude was very tough. He didn't take Zhang Youlun, the deputy county magistrate, seriously at all. Instead, he looked at Feng Sizhe with a provocative look.

Feng Sizhe was originally very angry, but when he saw Wang Guanghe's confident look, his anger gradually subsided. He knew that since the other party knew his identity and still dared to talk to him like this, it meant that he must have something to rely on. Well, he would come and see what ability he had to dare to talk to him, a county-level cadre who was one level older than him.

"Haha, Secretary Wang is so angry. What's the matter? Do you think you are being polite by not greeting your superiors who are here to inspect our work? Do you think you are right to gather together to play mahjong during office hours? Do you think you are right to contradict County Magistrate Zhang in such a disrespectful way?" Feng Sizhe asked three questions in a row while chatting and laughing. He really wanted to hear how Secretary Wang Guanghe, who seemed to be very confident, would answer him. If there was a general question that made him dissatisfied, he would really have to take action to let others know that although he, the executive deputy county magistrate, was a little younger, he was indeed not a fool.

"Hahaha, County Magistrate Feng asked a good question. I will answer you well." Still looking very confident, Wang Guanghe laughed and looked at Feng Sizhe and said slowly.

"I didn't go to greet you because I had something important to do today, because I had to greet the God of Wealth of Dahu County, Director Wang Changwu. You saw that I was playing mahjong, but this is actually a feature of our Dahu. Talking about work at the mahjong table is also a strategy. I didn't order good wine and food from the restaurant to eat and drink here, which is very frugal. For this reason, the leader should praise me instead of overturning the table. As for the last point, as for whether I should contradict Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, humph, that's because he has no power to control me, but he is pointing fingers here. For this reason, why should I give him face?"

What a Wang Guanghe, he really has a lot of fallacies. He answered all the questions raised by Feng Sizhe with twisted logic. Of course, Feng Sizhe also understood why Director Wang Changwu was so confident when he said he was busy with work. It seems that discussing things at the mahjong table is really a feature of Dahu County. Thinking that there is such a way to discuss work, County Magistrate Xiao Feng could only smile helplessly in his heart. This may really be a feature of Dahu County, but it is precisely because of this feature that it really shows that Dahu County is already terminally ill. Talking about work is not a serious matter at the desk, but it must be discussed in this way of playing mahjong. It is really incomprehensible, and it proves the quality of the leadership here.

No matter what the characteristics of Dahu County's work are, Feng Sizhe obviously does not understand or support this way of talking about work. But then again, since it can be called a characteristic, it is obviously accepted by everyone in Dahu. It should be difficult for him to change it in a short time.

After thinking secretly about Wang Guanghe's answer, Feng Sizhe decided not to say anything about the other party's answers to the first two questions. Just based on Wang Guanghe's disrespect to Zhang Youlun, he was enough to get into trouble.

"Hmph, Secretary Wang's explanation is too far-fetched. Yes, I just came to Dahu County not long ago, and I may not be very familiar with some of the work characteristics here, but one thing is that you, as the party secretary of a town, are a regular cadre, but Comrade Zhang Youlun is the deputy county magistrate, a deputy division-level cadre. Is this correct? As a subordinate, you did not have the proper attitude when meeting your superior. Is this your fault? Just because County Magistrate Zhang does not care about your Chengguan Town, can you ignore him? Then, what I want to say next is that with the consent of County Magistrate Fang, Comrade Zhang Youlun has officially joined the leadership group of agricultural reform and construction in Dahu County this morning. Considering that Chengguan Town is a large agricultural town, do you think you should answer the questions County Magistrate Zhang raises about your work?"

Feng Sizhe stared into Wang Guanghe's eyes and asked in a serious tone.

The reason why Wang Guanghe dared to look coldly at Zhang Youlun and maintain a certain courtesy towards Feng Sizhe was because he knew that the young deputy county chief Feng could manage him, but Zhang Youlun could not. For someone who did not manage him, he did not need to consider his thoughts too much, but he did not expect that after Feng Sizhe's talk, Zhang Youlun actually participated in the county's agricultural work, and County Chief Fang also agreed. In this way, he could not avoid working with him in the future. If Zhang Youlun was offended, it was possible that he would use work as an excuse to make things difficult for him in the future.

With a long sigh, Wang Guanghe said, "Oh, congratulations to Deputy County Magistrate Zhang."

"Is a simple congratulations enough? I tell you, apologize to County Magistrate Zhang immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out agricultural work in Chengguan Town." Feng Sizhe realized that the county magistrate was not as good as the county manager. Since Wang Guanghe cared so much about the impact of agricultural work on Chengguan Town, he might as well use work to threaten the other party.

That's right, maybe Feng Sizhe said he would report it to the county committee, then Wang Guanghe would not be afraid, because he believed that there were a group of people in the county committee who would protect him, and most importantly, today's incident was not a big deal. If others wanted to do something to him for such a small matter, they were really making a wrong calculation. But on the contrary, if they used future work to make things difficult for him, it would be completely different, and it would give him a headache. Thinking that a good man would not suffer a loss in front of him, looking at Feng Sizhe's resolute expression, he had no choice but to bow his hands, and said to Zhang Youlun in a gangster manner: "Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, what I said just now was a bit offensive, don't take it to heart."

Zhang Youlun, as the deputy county magistrate who is ranked the lowest and does not even have any power, has long been accustomed to other people's cold words to him. He even does not think that what Wang Guanghe did today was excessive. If these people had not targeted Feng Sizhe, he would not have said a word to avoid humiliating himself. But he did not expect that after a while, Feng Sizhe would suppress Wang Guanghe and make a powerful mayor apologize to him, a deputy county magistrate who has no power at all. Wang Guanghe seemed flattered. "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't take it to heart." Zhang Youlun waved his hands quickly, and at the same time, his admiration for Feng Sizhe was as endless as a surging river.
