Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Hou Weidong didn't expect that Lu Xingye was such a loser who couldn't even do such a small thing. He snorted angrily, then stepped forward and asked Zhang Yang, "Comrade, you should be the representative of the Capital Province. This time you have won the favor of the Aqid Consortium, but the other brother provinces have returned empty-handed. I wonder what you think?"

Asking this question directly puts the capital province in opposition to other provinces. It can be said that this question is quite tricky, and even obviously has a strong intention to make things difficult.

Zhang Yang really didn't expect that someone like Hou Weidong would ask such a question. Anyway, if it was his governor Feng Sizhe, he would definitely not ask such a question. This is too self-degrading. Besides, the Aqid Consortium is destined to only choose one province for economic cooperation this time, which means that the result is already predetermined. Naturally, one province will succeed, and the other provinces will return empty-handed. This question is simply impossible to answer.

Zhang Yang lowered his head and pondered for a long time without uttering a single word. It was not that he did not know how to answer, but he had thought of several ways to say it, but each one seemed to be offensive. He was only the secretary general of a provincial government and could not represent the Capital Province. He did not want to bring trouble to Governor Feng Sizhe because of his wrong answer.

After Hou Weidong asked this question, he waited for the result. In fact, even if it was him, he couldn't give a good answer to this question, so he asked this question in order to make Zhang Yang speak quickly and offend other brother provinces. In this way, Feng Sizhe's influence would naturally be hit in the future, but it would not be a loss to him anyway.

Three full minutes passed, and Zhang Yang still didn't say a word. Lu Xingye, who was standing beside him, seemed to have found a good opportunity, so he stepped forward and asked, "Comrade Zhang Yang, our governor is asking you a question, why don't you answer? Don't you want to answer? Or do you simply don't respect our governor?"

Lu Xingye gave two options, but it seemed that the answers to both options were the same, which was to accuse Zhang Yang of disrespecting his leadership.

"No, I'm not." Zhang Yang is not stupid. He will not let this big hat be put on his head without any resistance.

"No, since you are not here, just answer our leader's questions." Lu Xingye had Hou Weidong's support at this moment, and Feng Sizhe was not present, so he could be said to be very arrogant.

Facing Lu Xingye's questioning, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and raised his head. He had already seen that they were looking for trouble with him, so he couldn't hide from them. "Okay, then I will answer Governor Hou's question now. This time, our Ducheng Province received investment from the Aqid Consortium, not because of good luck, but because our provincial government attaches great importance to this matter. After receiving the news, we did a lot of preparatory work and made a series of policy conditions that benefit both ourselves and others based on the possibility of a win-win situation. Therefore, the Aqid Consortium chose us. There is no so-called favor, but if I have to say it, it is that they also seriously considered it. I believe that in the end, it was our preparation materials that moved them. As for other brother provinces that did not get such an opportunity, I can only say that I am very sorry. After all, opportunities are prepared for those who are prepared."

Zhang Yang raised his head and said these words calmly and firmly. After he finished speaking, he felt like he had finally gotten his shit together. Damn it, although you guys are so arrogant, I am not a pushover. As a member of the Capital Province, I cannot embarrass Governor Feng Sizhe.

Neither Hou Weidong nor Lu Xingye expected Zhang Yang to say this, and his words were quite tough. He also cleverly explained why other provinces would return when answering questions. The phrase "opportunities are prepared for those who are prepared" is the most perfect interpretation. This is equivalent to saying that other provinces did not get such an opportunity this time, not because the conditions in your province are not good, but because the preparations were not done well.

I have to say that this way of answering is very perfect. Even if Feng Sizhe were here, it would be no more than this.

Hou Weidong looked at Zhang Yang very seriously, and suddenly smiled, then said in a very kind manner, "Your name is Zhang Yang, right? I wonder if you are interested in coming to work in Sanxiang Province. Don't worry, I promise not to suppress you, but to make use of you. As long as you work hard, I can get you promoted to the next level as quickly as possible. What do you think?"

Hou Weidong suddenly had the desire to win him over, and that was because he was really satisfied with Zhang Yang's answer. He felt that the final victory of Capital Province this time was certainly due to Feng Sizhe's courage and the bold economic plan, but it could not be ignored that the delegation member of Capital Province was indeed a talent. At least in the face of his and Lu Xingye's momentum, he was able to answer his questions in an orderly and calm manner, and his answers were so perfect. From this point of view alone, this person is a talent.

Zhang Yang really didn't expect Hou Weidong to win him over on the spot, and was stunned. But he quickly denied his decision to go to Sanxiang Province. Not to mention that Feng Sizhe had been very kind to him and had given him such a great achievement, Hou Weidong made him feel very uncomfortable, especially since he had come here with anger just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was so kind, as if he had completely changed into a different person. Such a person who changes three times a day is definitely not easy to serve and should not be approached.

"Thank you Governor Hou for your affirmation of my work, but I am a D member and I obey the organization's assignment. If the organization needs me to go to Sanxiang Province, then I will naturally obey the arrangement unconditionally. But now I am still a member of Ducheng Province. I will be proud of being in Ducheng, and I will do every job well." Zhang Yang's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. He did not offend Hou Weidong, but also showed that he was doing well in Ducheng Province and was proud to be a member of it.

Hou Weidong's answer to Zhang Yang was just because he was satisfied, and the suggestion that he should work in Sanxiang Province was just a casual remark. But now, after listening to Zhang Yang's answer, he really wanted to recruit him. He was smart, capable, and most importantly, loyal. It was really hard to find such a young leader.

Hou Weidong had already forgotten the reason for coming here, and had also put aside the idea of ​​looking for trouble. Instead, he became very interested in Zhang Yang. "Comrade Zhang Yang, can you think about it carefully before answering my question? You know, there are not many people I like. This is your good fortune."

Hou Weidong almost said, "As long as you are willing to follow me, I guarantee that your career will be bright. It is not impossible for you to become the secretary of a province or a provincial governor one day." You have to know that he is the future successor. If he becomes the number one, wouldn't it be easy to arrange a good position for him?

"Thank you Governor Hou for your appreciation. I've said before that I'm a member of the Communist Party and I respect the decision of the organization. If you must ask me for my personal opinion, I'm very happy with my job in Capital Province now and don't want to work somewhere else for the time being. If there is a chance in the future, I will consider Governor Hou's words carefully." Since Zhang Yang had decided to refuse, he would not have any other thoughts at this moment, so when he said these words, it was very natural.

After being rejected once, Hou Weidong was not angry, but showed a happy expression on his face. In his eyes, such a person who could repeatedly reject the temptation he promised was even more rare. Thinking that good things should be served later, he decided not to force the other party, but nodded repeatedly, said two "good" words, and then waved his hand and said to Lu Xingye and others, "Let's go back."

At first, Hou Weidong said those words to Zhang Yang, on the one hand because he was satisfied with the answer, and on the other hand, he said that deliberately with the intention of getting Zhang Yang from Ducheng Province to Sanxiang Province. If the matter was successful, then others would definitely think that he was more tempting, and then it would be easy to tell who was more important between him and Feng Sizhe. And if Zhang Yang disagreed, that didn't matter. He also successfully planted a thorn between Feng Sizhe and Zhang Yang because of his words. With this thorn, Young Master Feng would not use this person too much in the future. After all, he was someone he had once taken a fancy to and had an appointment with. Could such a person still be reliable?

However, after Zhang Yang rejected him again and again, Hou Weidong actually liked Zhang Yang's character and naturally admired him. Of course, it would be difficult for him to make things difficult for him. For this reason, he turned around and left, giving up the idea of ​​causing trouble.

Lu Xingye on the side looked at Zhang Yang with eyes full of jealousy. He could feel that Hou Weidong really had a good impression of this man. He thought that even after he followed him, Young Master Hou had not made such a clear wish that would help him get promoted to a higher level in the shortest time. But he said it to Zhang Yang. He couldn't help but feel extremely jealous in his heart. He thought that Zhang Yang had stolen his limelight.

On second thought, this person could represent the capital province to come to Kyoto, and he also won such a great credit. He must be someone Feng Sizhe values ​​very much. If he could deal with this person, it would be a way to tread on Feng Sizhe's face. Immediately, he had an idea in his mind, that is, he must find a chance to deal with Zhang Yang and let him know that no matter whether it is Feng Sizhe or Hou Weidong, even if they both like you, you are still the secretary general of a provincial government, you can't jump to the sky.
