Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"What? Sick? How could it be such a coincidence?" Feng Sizhe's expression froze after hearing Zhou Xingxing's report. This Wang Changwu had been sick for a long time, but he got sick at this moment. If he was sick for another ten days or half a month, it would be too late and he would miss the best time to plant peanuts and cotton.

"The people from the Finance Bureau said it was a stomach problem. Humph! I think it must be because he ate too much meat and fish and couldn't digest it." Zhou Xingxing had an angry expression on his face. As far as he was concerned, he was really in a bad mood. The people from the Finance Bureau were obviously pretending to obey the instructions given by County Magistrate Feng. Just when the agriculture department wanted some money, the Finance Bureau started to make trouble. It was really outrageous. The show was too obvious and anyone could see it.

After analyzing the situation, Feng Sizhe unexpectedly laughed instead of getting angry, "Oh, it seems that Director Wang is really overworked and exhausted. Well, in the spirit of humanitarianism, I think we should go to the hospital to visit him. So, Xiao Zhou, go buy some fruits and other things to visit the patient, and we'll go to the hospital."

"Ah, leader, we are still going to see him. Isn't this too much of a face for him?" Zhou Xingxing was a little unhappy when he heard it.

"Okay, just do as I say." Feng Sizhe didn't explain, just put on a stern face, and Zhou Xingxing obediently did what he was supposed to do.

No one understood what Feng Sizhe meant, only he himself understood that this was a great opportunity. Would the other party be so passive in avoiding him in the future and he would have no way to deal with him? Haha, that was totally wrong. He just didn't have a chance to fight back. This time, he could use this incident to launch a counterattack and let everyone know what the consequences would be if he pretended to obey his superiors or disobeyed himself.

Zhou Xingxing went out, and Feng Sizhe also walked out of the office and came to the room of the county magistrate Fang Xianzhi next door.

At noon, Feng Sizhe got in the car and took Zhou Xingxing to the county central hospital, where he saw Wang Changwu lying on the hospital bed.

The moment Feng Sizhe walked into the room, Wang Changwu even wiped his eyes with his hand. After seeing that the person was indeed Feng Sizhe, he quickly sat up from the bed and said, "County Magistrate Feng, County Magistrate Feng, why are you here?"

"Haha, it was my mistake at work. I just found out that Comrade Changwu was sick and in the hospital, so I rushed here. I hope you won't blame me for being late." Feng Sizhe walked to Wang Changwu's bed with a smile on his face and an even more friendly attitude. At the same time, Zhou Xingxing put a bunch of fruits bought on the roadside on the wooden table next to the bed.

"Oh, my, County Magistrate Feng, you are so polite. You just said you are here, so why do you need to bring anything? I really don't know what to say." He looked extremely nervous and humble when he spoke, but his actual actions were very timid. Apart from sitting up from the bed, he did not make any other movements.

"Haha, what's the matter, Comrade Changwu, what happened to you? You look pretty healthy, don't you? Why are you suddenly hospitalized?" Feng Sizhe ignored his disrespectful behavior, but sat on the chair brought by Zhou Xingxing and looked at Wang Changwu with a smile.

"Alas, as the saying goes, illness is like a mountain falling. I thought I was in good health, but who knew I would be hospitalized suddenly. I have already asked the doctor, and he said I have a chronic stomach disease and need to be well adjusted. If I continue to work so hard, my life will be in danger. Although I also know that work is important and I really want to continue to shine at my job, but sometimes the body is not what you say, and I finally collapsed." Wang Changwu shook his head as he spoke, looking like he hated his body for not being able to keep up with the times.

"Oh, so it's so serious. Come on, Xiao Zhou, go ask the dean what's going on. When will Director Wang recover?" Feng Sizhe listened to Wang Changwu describing the seriousness of his illness. He seemed to be incredulous but also concerned, so he asked Zhou Xingxing to find out the situation.

Zhou Xingxing thought that the leader wanted to expose Wang Changwu's illness in public. Thinking that something good was about to happen, he nodded repeatedly and quickly left the ward.

Zhou Xingxing is gone, but Wang Changwu is not in a hurry at all, because he had thought of this a long time ago. After discussing with Qi Hengsan and others, he bribed the leaders of the county hospital and asked them to exaggerate his condition as much as possible. He even prepared the medical records. In a word, he can't work for a short time, and can't cooperate with Feng Sizhe's agricultural reform work. You can do whatever you want.

After Feng Sizhe and Wang Changwu chatted casually for a few more words, Zhou Xingxing walked in with his head down, "Leader, the hospital leader said that Director Wang's stomach problem is indeed very serious. He needs to be properly treated for at least a few months, and he can't get angry or impatient, otherwise his condition will get worse."

Zhou Xingxing went there with hope but returned disappointed, so of course his face was not looking good.

When Feng Sizhe heard the situation, his face darkened. This must not be the result he expected. But then he quickly regained his warm smile, "Oh, if that's the case, Comrade Changwu, don't think too much. The most important thing is to rest and recuperate. Don't be anxious, impatient, or angry. I think we should wait until you are better before discussing work matters, okay?"

Okay, of course it's okay. This is exactly what Wang Changwu wanted. He pretended to be sick just to prevent Feng Sizhe from taking money from the county treasury to support agricultural reform. Now that his plan has worked and Feng Sizhe has hit a wall, his plan can be considered a good one.

"Okay, then I'll just listen to County Magistrate Feng." Wang Changwu was happy in his heart but pretended to be sad and angry on his face.

Feng Sizhe and Zhou Xingxing left just like that. Wang Changwu was very happy to see Feng Sizhe seemed angry when he left. He immediately left the ward and called Qi Hengsan to tell him what had just happened.

"Very good, Director Wang, you did very well. Humph, he's already sick, I don't think he dares to force you, you can rest assured in the county hospital and have a good rest. After this period, after the planting season, we'll see what Feng Sizhe can do." Qi Hengsan was secretly happy about the plan Wu Yong came up with for him. Aren't you Feng Sizhe in the limelight? Don't you have someone above you? Okay, I'll help you from below now, and see how much power you can exert without any help.

Feng Sizhe said nothing after he came out of the hospital. Zhou Xingxing thought that the leader was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say anything. It was not until the two got in the car that Feng Sizhe said to Zhou Xingxing, who was also the driver, "Xiao Zhou, have you got all the medical records of Comrade Wang Changwu?"

"Yes, leader. As you said, I have borrowed all the case attachments." Zhou Xingxing answered respectfully, although he didn't know what the leader meant by doing this.

"Okay, let's go to the County Party Committee's Standing Committee. I want to visit Chairman Lin Jianli."

"Oh, OK, boss." Zhou Xingxing didn't know why Feng Sizhe was going to find Lin Jianli now. He couldn't control the county finance bureau. But he couldn't guess what the boss was thinking sometimes, and he couldn't just ask casually. All he had to do was listen to the boss and go wherever the boss told him to go.

The afternoon passed quickly. As soon as work started in the afternoon, Feng Sizhe went to Fang Xianzhi's office again. After talking for half an hour, Feng Sizhe returned to his own office, while County Chief Fang went directly to Secretary Sun Shicun's office upstairs.

Half an hour later, all the members of the county party committee's standing committee suddenly received a call saying that an emergency standing committee meeting was to be convened.

Normally, if a standing committee meeting is to be held, it is usually announced a few days in advance, or at least a few hours in advance, to inform everyone of the content of the meeting so that everyone can be prepared. But why was the standing committee meeting suddenly held today? What exactly is going on?

Qi Hengsan walked out of the office somewhat puzzled. When he walked to the third floor and saw Deputy Secretary Pi Taisheng, he gave him a puzzled look, and he received a confused look as well. He knew that Secretary Pi didn't know what had happened either.

Since even Pi Taisheng didn't know what happened, Qi Hengsan felt relieved. He thought it might be to convey some spirit from his superiors, otherwise there would not be such a hasty meeting. Comforting himself, Qi Hengsan walked into the third-floor meeting room. At this time, looking at the venue, everyone was there, even Secretary Sun Shicun had already taken his seat. Looking at this scene, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. He slowly sat down in his own seat, glanced at Feng Sizhe next to him, and saw the same calm and relaxed County Magistrate Feng. His heart tightened for no reason.

Qi Hengsan always had a feeling that Feng Sizhe seemed to know the content of this meeting, otherwise he would not be so calm.

Without giving Qi Hengsan too much time to daydream, after he sat down, Sun Shicun coughed. After everyone had quieted down, he said, "Today's Standing Committee meeting was convened at the suggestion of County Mayor Fang. Please let County Mayor Fang tell you the specific reasons."
