Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Yes, he was originally a very capable cadre and was usually quite diligent in his work, but he was a little cunning and sometimes did not use his ideas in the right way. Well, having many evil ideas is not necessarily a good thing, and now he has shot himself in the foot." Li Yi Ge also expressed his feelings.

But Li Yi Ge did forget to mention that he had many tricks. The young man in front of him was much better than Ruan Jisheng. Therefore, after hearing this, Feng Sizhe looked at Li Yi Ge and asked with a smile, "What? Brother Li, are you talking about me?"

Li Yi Ge then remembered that what he said just now was wrong, so he quickly shook his head, "How could that be possible, Sizhe, don't think too much, how could I say that to you. Besides, your ideas are all comprehensive, and you take one step and look three steps ahead or even further. How can this Ruan Jisheng compare with you? You are a genius that only appears once in a century..."

"Alright, alright." Seeing that Li Yi Ge was getting more and more unreasonable, Feng Sizhe smiled and waved his hand, "Ruan Jisheng is still a smart man. At least he knew to turn himself in. This way, his responsibility will be much less. He borrowed money and paid it back, so his responsibility is not big. It's just that too many people are jealous of his position. If this matter is not handled properly, he will lose his position as deputy minister. Now you should consider what position to arrange for him next."

"Then Sizhe, do you have any opinions? After all, he is Xiao Zhou's..." Li Yi Ge came here to hear whether Feng Sizhe had any personal opinions on the next arrangements for Ruan Jisheng.

"I have no objection. I will obey the organization's arrangements. Oh, there is one more thing, Brother Li, please remember. Ruan Jisheng is Ruan Jisheng, and Zhou Xingxing is Zhou Xingxing. They are not the same." Feng Sizhe waved his hand again, indicating that he would not interfere with Ruan Jisheng's future arrangements. His intention was to tell Li Yi Ge that whatever happened should be done, and he didn't need to consider his face anymore.

"Okay, then I know what to do." Li Yi Ge nodded. If Feng Sizhe really didn't want to care about it anymore, things would become much easier and simpler, and he would know what to do.

Because Feng Sizhe himself had no personal opinion on the matter and did not suggest taking care of Ruan Jisheng, Li Yige discussed it with Deputy Secretary He Zhuhua and quickly came up with a solution. They decided to let Ruan Jisheng resign from the post of Deputy Minister of the Organization Department and transfer him to Xinqiao Township under Dahu County as a deputy township chief.

A cadre at the division level was demoted two levels to become a deputy township head. This was a punishment, but it was also considered a mercy, as he retained his job, and it was a blessing that he could start as a deputy township section chief.

But when Ruan Jisheng learned the news at home, he was stunned as if struck by lightning. After a long while, he finally recovered and started crying bitterly, "Why? Didn't I already pay the 5,000 yuan? Why do you still treat me like this? Why?"

Ruan Jisheng's dazed and crazy look scared his daughter Ruan Xiaoqing. She immediately called her boyfriend Zhou Xingxing and asked him to come home quickly to see what was going on.

When Zhou Xingxing rushed to the Ruan family, Ruan Jisheng was already much better and had fallen asleep after a while of playing around. However, from his somewhat old face, it could be seen that he must have suffered a great blow.

"Axing, what's going on? Didn't my father return the money? Why is he punished so severely? It doesn't matter if he is demoted. My father is old and doesn't have much future in the unit. But why do you want to transfer him to the township? Xinqiao Township is a well-known poor township. How can he bear to go there?" Ruan Xiaoqing played the honey trap in front of Zhou Xingxing. She wanted to force Zhou Xingxing to find a way to help her father.

In fact, he has no control over these things. Being able to keep his job and not be prosecuted by the judicial authorities is already a great thing. How many other options does he have?

"This...you also know that I'm just a small secretary. There are many things that I have no say in." Zhou Xingxing had to explain to Ruan Xiaoqing.

"I don't care, I don't care. I only know that you have a lot of connections in the county committee. You must help my dad this time. It doesn't matter if you have to be demoted to a lower level, as long as he can stay in the unit in the county. You are trying to think of a solution." Ruan Xiaoqing didn't understand the stuff in the county committee. She only knew that her boyfriend was very capable. Even some ordinary leaders would greet him with a smile when they saw him. She didn't believe that there would be no way out of this matter.

That’s right, many people greeted Zhou Xingxing with smiles when they saw him, but in the final analysis, that was just to give face to Feng Sizhe, the leader behind him. Without County Magistrate Feng’s support, what would he be?

His girlfriend started to cry while talking. It can be seen that Ruan Xiaoqing really loves her father. Zhou Xingxing couldn't bear to see his girlfriend cry so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, since things have come to this, I'll just save my face and beg the leader. At worst..." He didn't dare to think about what happened next. He knew that once he took that step, it would mean that his political career would take a big step forward.

"Okay, then Ah Xing, you should go quickly, go quickly." Hearing her boyfriend say that he would find a way, Ruan Xiaoqing hurriedly urged him to go quickly.

As soon as he got off work in the afternoon, there was a knock on Feng Sizhe's door. "Come in." Feng Sizhe answered without even raising his head.

As the door was pushed open, secretary Zhou Xingxing walked into the room and walked in front of Feng Sizhe's desk.

"Well, is there something wrong?" Feng Sizhe raised his head, glanced at Zhou Xingxing and asked casually.

"Leader, I..." Zhou Xingxing mustered up the courage to say something, but his mouth seemed to be blocked by someone and he didn't know how to start.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Feng Sizhe raised his head and felt that Zhou Xingxing was different from before, so he looked up and asked.

Seeing Feng Sizhe's encouraging gaze, Zhou Xingxing finally gritted his teeth and said, "Leader, I have something to ask you. It's about Ruan Xiaoqing's father. She..."

"Well, the organization has already reached a conclusion on this matter, so you don't have to say anything more. I can't control this matter either." Feng Sizhe shook his head after understanding Zhou Xingxing's intention. Li Yi Ge did ask for his opinion on this matter, but he had made it very clear that he didn't control this matter. He didn't want to get involved in this matter, because he knew that this matter was originally a motive for him, but they didn't expect that he was innocent in this matter.

Feng Sizhe's words were not unexpected to Zhou Xingxing. He would always take care of matters that were his responsibility and concerned with the people, but he would not care about anything that involved someone who wanted to get promoted or make money. In other words, it was basically impossible to ask for a position from the leader. On the contrary, as long as you did your job well, he would take the initiative to help you get what was yours without you even asking.

Knowing that County Magistrate Feng would not care about this matter according to common sense, Zhou Xingxing had no choice but to bring out the backup plan he had prepared. In order to make Ruan Xiaoqing happy and to prevent his future father-in-law from suffering in the countryside, he had no choice but to do this.

"Leader, this is what happened. Xiaoqing told me that her father is old and is afraid that he may not be able to take on the new job in Xinkou Township. Can you consider letting him stay in the county to work? As long as he stays in the county, it's fine, even if the level is lower, as long as they can reunite with their family. If this requirement can be met, then I... I would rather work in the countryside, even in the village, and I have no regrets."

Zhou Xingxing knew that if he wanted Feng Sizhe to help Ruan Jisheng, he would have to make sacrifices. Although this might seem like forcing his leader, he had no choice but to do so. He did this just to show his attitude, to tell his leader that he was determined to accomplish this matter, even if it would make his future bleak.

Feng Sizhe wanted to scold Zhou Xingxing and tell him that a secretary is a secretary and should just do his job well, but he never expected Zhou Xingxing to say such a thing. He was willing to give up being Ruan Jisheng's secretary so that he could work in the county. It is true that the secretary of a deputy county magistrate may not be a big deal, but in Dahu County, the staff who wanted to be Feng Sizhe's secretary could line up for two miles without exaggeration.

Zhou Xingxing actually gave up such an enviable position. At this moment, Feng Sizhe had to say that he was moved by Zhou Xingxing's sincerity. He really wanted the beauty over the kingdom. What else could he say? If he didn't agree to his conditions and watched the lovers being torn apart, this was definitely not his style.

"Hey, you have to think it over carefully." Feng Sizhe asked Zhou Xingxing with a very serious expression. At this moment, he had to know whether this was just a momentary impulse or he was really determined to do this.

"I have thought it over carefully. Please support me, leader." Zhou Xingxing answered in a very firm and unchangeable tone.

"Okay, I understand. I'll think about it and give you an answer." Feng Sizhe nodded. He knew that if Zhou Xingxing was really determined to do this, no matter what he said, it would be useless and he would not be able to change a person's mood.
