Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Xiao Zhou, did you know that Liu Songtong was taken away by the people from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection? No matter what happens next, you must save your Uncle Ruan. You can't let Xiaoqing be without a father." Ruan Jisheng knew that the only person who could save him was Zhou Xingxing in front of him. Only he could speak in front of County Magistrate Feng, and only if he was willing to help him, would he have hope of survival. Otherwise, everything would be over. If the embezzlement of 5,000 yuan was exposed, not only would he lose his position as the first deputy director of the Organization Department, but he would also be taken away by the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection and might even be sentenced by the court.

"Uncle Ruan, please tell me what's going on first. How can I help you if you don't tell me?" Zhou Xingxing said in a panic.

Liu Songtong was going to be investigated by the county Commission for Discipline Inspection. He had heard about this a long time ago, but he didn't take it seriously. What did it have to do with other people if he embezzled money? Yes, he did speak on behalf of the leaders, but that was also a normal speech. According to his seniority, Liu Songtong was the deputy director of the County Transportation Bureau. He just said something fair, and others wouldn't take it seriously. Moreover, this matter also involved the leaders. In Dahu County, especially the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhou Xingxing absolutely didn't believe that anyone would do anything to Feng Sizhe. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection didn't do anything to the leaders, but a deputy secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection at the department level was fired. Who in the county would be so blind as to use this matter to attack the leaders? That would be looking for trouble.

Zhou Xingxing, who had always treated this matter as unimportant, did not realize until he saw Ruan Jisheng's current performance that things were not as simple as he had imagined. This matter might have been related to his future father-in-law, which meant that it was no longer possible for him to just watch the fight from the sidelines.

Ruan Jisheng also knew that if he wanted Zhou Xingxing to help him, he had to tell him what was going on. Otherwise, how could he let him help him? "Hey, Xiao Zhou, it's all my fault. Well, during the Chinese New Year, I wanted to change the TV at home. People said that color TVs are much better for watching TV. The Monkey King swinging his golden cudgel in Journey to the West was dazzling when watched on color TV, which was much better than the effect of black and white TV. I was thinking about buying one, but the money was not enough, so I... I found Liu Songtong, and he gave me 5,000 yuan without saying a word, so I bought the color TV. But now he's in trouble. Tell me, can I still explain the money? People who don't know will think that I'm in cahoots with him."

While saying these words, Ruan Jisheng looked like he was crying. It was obvious that he must be very regretful now. He was afraid that Liu Songtong would tell everything when questioned by the Discipline Inspection Commission, and then say that he had given him 5,000 yuan, and then he would be finished.

Zhou Xingxing didn't expect that Ruan Jisheng, who looked quite mature, would make such a serious mistake. At this stage, this was a big mistake. Looking at the situation, Liu Songtong must be screwed. If he bites someone next, no one will be fine.

His mind quickly and calmly thought about it, but how could he come up with a better idea in a short time? After thinking about it, Zhou Xingxing thought of He Wenbao.

Zhou Xingxing still has a very good relationship with He Wenbao. As the first group of people who followed Feng Sizhe, they always had endless things to talk about. But later, He Wenbao was promoted to deputy county magistrate, and he was busy with more things. Gradually, the two had fewer opportunities to meet, but they always chatted for a while when they met from time to time. Although it was impossible to meet every day like before due to work, he could feel that the sincere feelings still existed. At this time, he couldn't think of any good ideas. Maybe he could ask him. County Magistrate He might have a way to solve the problem.

Zhou Xingxing walked to the telephone in Ruan Jisheng's house, took a deep breath, and dialed a number. The call was to He Wenbao's house. Now he could only pray that County Magistrate He was resting at home at this time.

In the past, He Wenbao rarely took a lunch break. He is now in charge of the Dahu Lighter Factory, which has a very promising future. Many people come to place orders every day. He is busy entertaining people and keeping an eye on production. Recently, he has little time to rest. But Zhou Xingxing was lucky today. A big customer was coming to the lighter factory in the afternoon to discuss purchasing. In order not to lose face for Dahu County, he deliberately went back home to change clothes. At this time, Zhou Xingxing called and He Wenbao answered the phone.

"Hello, this is He Wenbao." After answering the phone, He Wenbao's powerful voice came over.

"County Magistrate He, this is Xiao Zhou." When Zhou Xingxing heard that it was really He Wenbao who answered the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had found Deputy County Magistrate He, someone would give him some advice.

"Oh, Xiao Zhou, what's up? Do you have something to talk to me about? Or is your boss talking to me?" When he received Zhou Xingxing's call, he naturally thought that it might be Feng Sizhe who wanted to talk to him about something. After all, he is the boss's secretary and the closest person to him.

"No, County Magistrate He, I have something to talk to you about. Are you available now? Can you come to my cousin's house, oh, that is, the house of Deputy Minister Ruan of the Organization Department?" Zhou Xingxing said in an anxious and pleading voice.

Zhou Xingxing is looking for him for something urgent? He Wenbao thought about it, and then looked at the time. It was still early in the afternoon before work, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll go now, you wait for me there." Let alone the fact that she is the secretary of the leader, just because of the personal relationship between them, He Wenbao must go. They thought that they would follow Feng Sizhe together in the future, but now he is the deputy county magistrate, and Zhou Xingxing is still a clerk. It seems a bit unreasonable. If he doesn't go when he is needed, he will inevitably be considered as being arrogant. This will have a bad influence. After all, she is still the secretary of the leader. If he sabotages her like this, when the leader knows about this, will he still have a good harvest?

He Wenbao hurriedly rode his bicycle to Ruan Jisheng's home, where he met Zhou Xingxing.

"Xiao Zhou, what happened? Why are you calling me here in such a hurry?" He Wenbao asked hurriedly as he saw Zhou Xingxing.

"Oh, don't mention it." Zhou Xingxing welcomed He Wenbao into the house while talking about the news he had just heard from his future father-in-law.

After finishing the conversation, He Wenbao also entered the main room of the Ruan family, where Ruan Jisheng had already prepared tea and was waiting for people to drink it.

After just symbolically taking a sip of tea, He Wenbao said to Zhou Xingxing and Ruan Jisheng in a serious tone: "At this point, there is only one way, and that is to surrender."

"Surrender?" Upon hearing this word, Ruan Jisheng trembled with fear.

"That's right. The county discipline inspection commission took Liu Songtong away this morning. He may not have said anything now, but I can't guarantee that he will say anything in the afternoon. If he says it first and the people from the discipline inspection commission find you, that would be another matter. If you want to solve the problem now, you must turn the passive situation into the active one. Take 5,000 yuan to the discipline inspection commission now and explain that the money was borrowed from Liu Songtong just to buy a TV. This way you will receive less punishment." He Wenbao said firmly after thinking through the cause and effect of the matter.

"Ah? But in this way...can the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission believe this?" Ruan Jisheng asked uncertainly.

"I will believe it. As long as you take the initiative first, and then Xiao Zhou and I will help you speak from the side, I don't think the problem will be too big. At most, you will quit your job as deputy minister, but you can still keep your job. This is much better than waiting passively, don't you think so, Minister Ruan?" He Wenbao is quite experienced. First, the amount of 5,000 yuan is not a big amount. Second, with Zhou Xingxing and he going to intercede, the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection will give them some face. After all, they are all people around Feng Sizhe, and they should consider the face of the Buddha instead of the monk.

"Well, County Magistrate He's opinion is very good, and I agree with it." Zhou Xingxing quickly thought about the matter and made up his mind to support this decision.

With the persuasion of He Wenbao and Zhou Xingxing, Ruan Jisheng finally made up his mind. After all, it was much better to step down from the position of Organization Minister and work in other departments than to go to prison. Ruan Jisheng immediately took some money from Zhou Xingxing to make up 5,000 yuan, and then went straight to the home of Wu Guangrong, the secretary of the county discipline inspection committee, in the middle of the day. Since he had decided to surrender, it was better to do it sooner rather than later.

The news that Ruan Jisheng accepted 5,000 yuan from Liu Songtong and surrendered himself quickly spread quickly in the county party committee compound. After Li Yige consulted Secretary Sun, he first suspended him from his post and asked him to wait for the news at home, and then he quickly came to Feng Sizhe's room. This Ruan Jisheng is not an ordinary person. He is the future father-in-law of County Magistrate Feng's secretary. With this relationship, how to deal with him must first be informed.

In Feng Sizhe's office, Li Yi Ge drank the best Da Hong Pao and looked at Feng Sizhe, waiting for the young man to express his opinion.

Originally, Feng Sizhe had spoken for him on the issue of Liu Songtong, which was already considered a passive position. But who would have thought that Ruan Jisheng had accepted money from others, and the matter seemed to become even more difficult to handle.

"Oh, Ruan Jisheng is so stupid. He ruined his own future for 5,000 yuan. It's really not worth it." After thinking about it, Feng Sizhe sighed.
