But good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Fang Xianzhi had just returned to the office when he received a call from Zhang Youlun, the deputy county chief. During the call, Deputy County Chief Zhang reported that Mr. Bai from Pengfei Peanut Processing Factory had just called and said that due to the capital problem of the head office, they would temporarily close the Pengfei company in Dahu County. As for when they would resume work, it all depended on the situation.

Listening to Zhang Youlun's report over the phone, Fang Xianzhi was so angry that he slammed the table on the spot. What was he doing? What did he mean by Pengfei Head Office had a funding problem? Even if there was a problem, could such a large Pengfei Head Office be short of the tens of millions invested in Dahu County?

Everyone knows the relationship between Feng Sizhe and Bai Caixia. They are very good friends. Obviously, President Bai wants to use this incident to put pressure on the Dahu County Party Committee and County Government. They have only one purpose, which is to express their dissatisfaction with Feng Sizhe's arrest. They also clearly stated another attitude, that is, only when Feng Sizhe is in Dahu County, Pengfei Company will be able to operate normally. Otherwise, they are likely to withdraw their investment at any time. Anyway, Pengfei Head Office is very rich, and they will not care about the investment of one or two million.

If Mr. Bai had said that he would stop the operation of Pengfei Company in Dahu County, Fang Xianzhi would not have felt much. But now he had just promised those road builders that he would use next year's agricultural tax to subsidize their road construction wages, and now Pengfei Company was going to stop production. Isn't this a slap in his face? In this case, his promise just now would be in vain. If Pengfei Company stopped operating, it would mean that the agricultural reform in Dahu County had failed. At the end of this year, no one would pay a high price for the bumper harvest of peanuts and cotton. Farmers would not make money, and they would not be active in planting next year. If they could not collect agricultural taxes, what would happen next year? What would the county magistrate do?

Fang Xianzhi felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and he deeply felt how difficult his work became without Feng Sizhe as his assistant. Could it be that his ability and methods were really not as good as Feng Sizhe, who was 30 years younger than him?

"No, I can't let myself be blamed for this." Fang Xianzhi said to himself and then stood up and went to the third floor. He wanted to sit in the office of Sun Shicun, the county party committee secretary. Originally, he was happy to see Feng Sizhe being taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and even wanted to profit from it. But now he has to waver in his position. Even for his own sake, he must support Feng Sizhe. The problem now is that as long as Feng Sizhe is saved, his work will be much easier to carry out, and he will be able to achieve many political achievements without any risk.

When Fang Xianzhi arrived at Sun Shicun's office, Secretary Sun was also having a headache. When he saw Fang Xianzhi coming, he pointed to the chair in front of his desk and said, "County Mayor Fang, please sit here."

It was rare for Sun Shicun to be so polite to him. This action made Fang Xianzhi a little confused, but he still sat down obediently. After sitting opposite Sun Shicun, he asked carefully, "Secretary Sun, what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."

"How can I get well?" Sun Shicun did not even try to cover up and answered this question directly. I guess you also know that Mr. Bai wants to shut down the Pengfei branch. Hey, just now I received a call from Mayor Chang. He asked us if we had done anything to Pengfei Company that made them leave again. He really scolded us, as if the stay or departure of Pengfei Company had nothing to do with me. And just now, Governor Deng's secretary also called. Secretary Fang actually asked me directly on the phone what happened. He also said that if we can't keep Pengfei Company in Dahu, and thus discredit the investment environment of the entire Zhongzhou Province, what kind of bad consequences will that be? I can only deal with it myself."

After saying this, Sun Shicun looked extremely annoyed and said, "Tell me, who did I offend? How did the departure or stay of Pengfei Company have a direct relationship with me? At first, I thought that attracting Pengfei Branch was a lucky cat, but now it seems to be a time bomb. Who knows when it will explode? Sigh!"

Pengfei Company's small move caused such a big backlash, which was obviously something Sun Shicun had not expected. If he had known this would happen, he would have tried to get it when the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came to take Feng Sizhe away, at least to show his attitude. He believed that as long as he did that, some people would not come to embarrass him now, after all, he had tried hard. Moreover, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection wanted to take away county-level cadres, so the attitude of the county party secretary was obviously very important. However, Sun Shicun did not say much at the time. His obedient behavior actually aroused the resentment of others. It would be strange if he was not angry.

Fang Xianzhi had come to the secretary to complain, and now that he saw that Secretary Sun was in a difficult situation, he sighed, "Secretary Sun, what should we do now? You don't know. I went to the road construction site early in the morning, and was surrounded by the people as soon as I got there. I had no choice but to make a promise that the county party committee and county government would definitely reduce the agricultural tax for these road construction workers next year, and I even guaranteed it with my own personality. I thought that with the success of agricultural reform, the agricultural situation in our county would improve greatly next year, so this matter would be easy to handle, but now it seems that it is not the case at all. Once Pengfei Company leaves, how can our county's agriculture have a good harvest? Even if there is a good harvest, it will be difficult to sell it at a good price. Under this situation, my promise cannot be fulfilled. By then, what I say will be like fart, and the people will drive me out of Dahu County. Oh, my God, what should I do?"

Sun Shicun and Fang Xianzhi sat together like a pair of brothers in distress, sharing their sufferings. When Feng Sizhe was around, they were afraid that this young man would seize their power, so they would suppress him from time to time, not to mention that they would turn a blind eye when others suppressed Feng Sizhe. But now that Feng Sizhe is really no longer in the county, they feel that the good and bad of this young man can even be directly linked to many things in Dahu County. What makes them even more painful is that their official hats are actually directly related to Feng Sizhe, which is definitely something they had never thought of before.

"What should we do? I think we should join hands to report to the city and clarify that Feng Sizhe is a good comrade. No matter what, we still have to maintain our attitude now." Sun Shicun is worthy of being the secretary. After being depressed for a while, he thought of how to make up for the loss.

"Well, this is a good idea. I think this is the only way we can do it now. But I think it's not enough for just the two of us to join forces. Should we also call on other members of the Standing Committee? This way, we will have more strength and the higher-ups will pay more attention to it." Fang Xianzhi nodded and improved Secretary Sun's plan.

The county party secretary and the county head quickly reached an agreement, and then they began to contact other standing committee members privately and communicated one by one. Things like guarantors are not suitable for discussion in the standing committee. After all, this is a matter determined by the provincial discipline inspection commission. If the county publicly opposes it, it will be somewhat disrespectful to the superiors.

During the whole morning, the staff in the secretary's and the county magistrate's offices were changing constantly. Both of them were trying their best to have heart-to-heart talks with every member of the county party committee standing committee. They had only one goal, which was to do their utmost to unite more people to protect Feng Sizhe, thereby demonstrating their sincerity and making some people see clearly that this matter actually had nothing to do with them.

After some work, the deputy secretary, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Wu Guangrong, the head of the Organization Department Li Yi'ge, the head of the Propaganda Department Jia Bin, the standing committee member and deputy county magistrate Zhang Youlun, the armed forces department minister Li Wanli, and the director of the county party committee office Cui Yan all agreed and signed the application to protect Comrade Feng Sizhe.

But at the same time, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, He Zhuhua, the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Yang Chao, the head of the United Front Work Department, Qi Hengsan, and the chairman of the trade union, Lin Jianli, refused to sign. They all hoped that Feng Sizhe would step down, so why would they help Feng Sizhe at this time?

On the contrary, Qi Hengsan and others spread rumors in the county party committee that Feng Sizhe was going to fall flat on his face this time, causing substantial damage to Feng Sizhe's reputation.

Although he did not get unanimous support, at least he got the support of more than half of the standing committee members. Holding the list signed by eight county standing committee members, Sun Shicun went straight to Yongyang City. Once some things have been decided to be done, they must be done early, because the sooner they are done, the more proactive they are.

While Sun Shicun was driving towards Yongyang City, General Zhao Mingyuan was also driving towards He's home.

The capabilities of the Eighth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security are indeed extraordinary. After investigation and analysis, Director Zhao Wangang quickly found out that the reason why the Provincial Committee gave up sending a special task force to investigate Feng Sizhe was most likely because of Wen Chaoying's instruction. For no other reason, it was because Wen Chaoying had just returned from an inspection in Zhongzhou Province. The Eighth Bureau could handle this matter by simply checking his security work.

Although Wen Chaoying was a vice-ministerial level official, he was a central leader and naturally had security guards around him. As long as he had security guards, the Eighth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security could track him down clearly. After learning the news, Zhao Wangang used some tricks and soon got an important piece of news, that is, Cheng Jinbao, deputy secretary of the Zhongzhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and director of the Supervision Department, had met privately with Wen Chaoying's son Wen Ruhao and Deputy Director Wen's secretary Zhang Xin.

This was definitely an important clue. Zhao Wangang immediately reported the news to his father when he just got up in the early morning.
