Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Thank you, Governor." Lu Xingye was very happy to see Hou Weidong's attitude towards him. At least it proved that he did not treat him as an outsider, but as a subordinate. To put it bluntly, he was given due respect, which was enough for him.

After Lu Xingye sat down, Hou Weidong did not ask anything immediately, because he believed that if others wanted to say something, they would say it naturally. But if he asked, it would seem a bit pretentious.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Xingye sat down, he took the initiative to speak, "Governor, I just received news that the Ducheng Province seems to have unified its stance. Regarding the investment promotion plan for the Aqid Consortium, the provincial party committee and government have maintained a consistent tone."

After Lu Xingye joined Hou Weidong, his family gave him great support, because even the existing elders of the Lu family believed that this person had a great chance of taking the position in ten or twenty years, and they were more supportive of the younger generation of the family being able to rely on this big tree as soon as possible. In addition, Lu Xingye has now established a firm foothold in Huaijiang City, and all of this is due to the help of the governor. For this reason, he is also very concerned about the things that Hou Dashao is concerned about.

Hou Weidong was not surprised to hear the news. Perhaps in his opinion, if he couldn't even solve the problems in Ducheng Province, then Feng Sizhe wouldn't be worthy of being his opponent. For this reason, he didn't care much about this matter. What he really cared about was the central government's view on this matter. Because from the beginning to now, apart from the articles he had published in those newspapers using his connections, only Guangdong Province where his father was and several provinces that were consistent with the Hou family had expressed their support for him through different channels. But until now, the central government had not reported anything about it, as if this matter had never happened.

This is what really puzzled Young Master Hou. Normally, the central government should not have such an attitude towards issues involving economic systems and principles. But now it really happened. Does it mean that the higher-ups actually support Feng Sizhe in doing this?

But this doesn't make sense. If the central government really supports it, there's no reason why the Hou family didn't receive the news. My father is a member of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Bureau. It's impossible for him to avoid such a major event. Not to mention that my grandfather is a senior member and an important member of the current Central Advisory Committee. If this is true, the document should have been delivered long ago.

Hou Weidong was very puzzled. He was even a little confused. No matter how good a play was, it would be too boring if only he sang it.

"Xingye, have you found Tang Xiaojun?" Hou Weidong suddenly thought of a key person in his mind. In terms of the national economy looking at Shanghai, the attitude of Tang Yi's son Tang Xiaojun is obviously extremely important. If he can get this person to express the same opinion as himself, I think the influence will be completely different.

"Well, not yet." Lu Xingye was also helpless about this problem. Normally, if you want to find Tang Xiaojun, you don't have to go through so much trouble. You can just call a friend in Kyoto and ask him where Tang Shao is. After all, this person has always been very high-profile, as if he is afraid that others don't know what he is doing. But this time, no matter how many friends he called, no matter how he asked, he couldn't find any news about Tang Xiaojun.

"Not yet?" This answer made Hou Weidong's heart skip a beat. At this moment, Tang Xiaojun couldn't be found, so he couldn't help but think about it. Could it be that he really hid himself? Because if it wasn't for this reason, there would be no reason why he couldn't be found.

If Tang Xiaojun really hid, then things would be really bad. Young Master Tang's hiding at this time might be related to the matter of the Aqid Consortium. Does that also indirectly mean that the Tang family actually supports Feng Sizhe's approach?

"Okay, I'll have to trouble Xingye to look for him again." Although Hou Weidong had a bad feeling, he didn't want to give up just like that. He still had an illusion that Tang Xiaojun really went somewhere to play and couldn't be contacted for a while, rather than that he was avoiding him.

While Hou Weidong was still comforting himself, there was finally new movement from the Capital Province. Professor Ma Weihua from the National Economic Research Institute suddenly came here, and with him came several leaders from the National Development and Reform Commission and Professor Ma's students.

The capital province received this notice very suddenly. It was not until these people boarded the plane to the capital that Kyoto called to inform them.

At that time, Feng Sizhe was listening to reports from his comrades in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee with Minister Miao Zihan, reporting on the progress of the work since the streamlining of administration. Suddenly, Secretary Yin Fenglei came over with a mobile phone and said it was a call from the General Office of the State Council.

As soon as Feng Sizhe picked up the phone, Secretary-General Ding Deren's voice rang out, "Comrade Feng Sizhe? The economic inspection team sent by the central government to your office has already set off. You must do a good job of receiving them and do not interfere with their work. You only need to fully cooperate with them in whatever they need. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Chief." Feng Sizhe was also shocked when he heard the news, but he also knew that he couldn't ask too many questions at this time, because Secretary Ding's words "Comrade Feng Sizhe" made him understand that the person was probably not the only one making the call, and there should be other comrades around him. Otherwise, he would really ask a few more questions. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for the central government to send an economic inspection team at this time?

After hanging up the phone, Miao Zihan asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Feng Sizhe had no intention of hiding anything, so he answered, "It was Secretary-General Ding who called. He said that the central government's economic delegation was on its way to our city, Ducheng Province, and asked me to prepare for the reception."

"Economic inspection team?" When she heard that they were coming, Miao Zihan showed a worried look on her face. Ever since the newspapers began to report the news that was unfavorable to Ducheng Province, she began to pay attention. Although under Feng Sizhe's strong influence, nothing unpredictable happened in Ducheng Province, and everything was still going on as usual, she knew very well that Master Feng would be under a lot of pressure. Think about it, who would be in a good mood if they were pointed at and scolded in the newspapers every day and were used as an example?

However, Miao Zihan also understood Feng Sizhe's character. She knew that once he made up his mind about something, no one could change his mind. So she did not try to persuade him, but kept an eye on the changes in Young Master Feng. Even if there was something wrong, she would immediately speak out to comfort him.

Now the matter has finally come. The arrival of the Central Economic Investigation Team is undoubtedly to investigate the affairs of the Aqid Consortium. It can also be said that the Central Government is going to give a conclusion on this matter. If the conclusion is good, then it is naturally easy to say, but if it develops in a bad direction, can Feng Sizhe bear this blow? Mistakes in the economic direction are not trivial. If you make a mistake, your hope for a career will no longer exist.

Miao Zihan became more and more worried the more she thought about it, so she couldn't help but say, "Sizhe, if it doesn't work, let's change our economic policy now. I think with Sister Caixia over there, it shouldn't be too difficult for the Aqid Consortium to talk to."

Miao Zihan wanted to change everything back to normal. As long as the Capital Province did not operate according to the original plan and took the economic autonomy and management rights back to the government, even if someone wanted to take advantage of this incident to cause trouble, they would have no chance.

Of course, Miao Zihan said all this for Feng Sizhe's own good. She didn't want anything to happen to this man.

Feng Sizhe accepted Miao Zihan's concern in his heart. But he did not agree with such a statement. He just shook his head and said, "Why? Why do you want to change it back? Isn't this admitting that you did something wrong?"

"If we don't change it back, what if..." Miao Zihan couldn't help but say worriedly when she saw Feng Sizhe's stubbornness coming out.

"What if something happens? At most I will bear the main responsibility. But you want me to turn a blind eye to the economic constraints on development, which I cannot do no matter what. As a member of the Communist Party, the first thing is to seek truth from facts. This is the declaration we made when we joined the Communist Party. What? You haven't forgotten it. Besides, who says I am wrong? Before the end, who knows what the result will be."

Feng Sizhe was of course a little worried. After all, in his previous life, this kind of change only happened after three or four years. But this time, because he had triggered it in advance, he didn't know if things would develop in the direction he imagined. But no matter what, since he had taken the first step, there was absolutely no turning back.

Seeing Feng Sizhe seemed to have made a decision, Miao Zihan could only shake her head, "You are just too persistent and don't know how to adapt."

"Haha, I understand what you said. If it doesn't involve issues of principle, of course I know what flexibility is. Of course I know that it's good for you, it's good for me, and it's good for everyone. But is this the way to govern a country? Is it the way to development? If everyone wants to be a good person, then the world would not have made the progress it has today. Hey, actually, you don't have to worry about that. Since I'm doing this, is it possible if I'm not sure at all? Just wait and see, maybe I did it right again this time." Feng Sizhe said this as if to comfort Miao Zihan.

After hearing these words, Miao Zihan could only agree. Indeed, things had come to this point and it was not easy to change them. So let's just wait and see how the situation developed. No matter what, Feng Sizhe had already become successful, and it seemed unlikely to defeat him with just one or two things.
