Rebirth of the Rising Sun

These thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment. He knew that Fang Xianzhi was still in front of him, and he needed to solve the current problem first. "Hey, I didn't expect Comrade Lu Zhuo to have such a strong personality. It's just that having a bad temper is not a good thing, and acting impulsively is even more irrational."

"Who said it wasn't? He actually kept telling me that he would hand Comrade Zhu Dongnong over to the higher-level disciplinary inspection commission for investigation. What does he want to do? It's just a case involving a few hundred yuan. Besides, he is not trying to enrich himself but to help others. This kind of thing can be discussed at the higher-ups. If he really does this, where will our Dahu County put its face?" Fang Xianzhi said angrily. In his opinion, the disciplinary inspection commission secretary sent by the higher-ups was really ignorant and had no idea what collective honor was.

"Haha, who says it's not? The work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is more about supervising and investigating the violations of discipline and law by party members and cadres. I personally believe that supervision comes first. If some things are not very big, but they must be made into a big deal, it is a manifestation of political weakness and immaturity of thought. If he does this, not only will our Dahu County lose face, but the county Commission for Discipline Inspection will also lose face. They will be the first to be blamed. So I personally think that Comrade Lu Zhuo should have just said it in anger, and he would not really do it, because even if he did so, it would not have any effect. Secretary, what do you think the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will think of a case involving a few hundred yuan? Will they think that some people are causing trouble for them, thinking that they have nothing to do and are looking for trouble for them?"

Feng Sizhe spoke a lot of plain words without any beginning or end. It seemed that he had analyzed the matter and said that Lü Zhuo would not really submit Comrade Zhu Dongnong's case to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. But if you listen carefully, you will understand a truth from these seemingly chaotic words, that is, if this matter really gets out of hand, although the Dahu County Party Committee will be embarrassed, the one who will be more embarrassed is Lü Zhuo, the secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection who has just arrived in Dahu County.

"Oh..." Fang Xianzhi hummed as if he understood something, and then after thinking about it carefully, he nodded several times quickly, "Well, Sizhe still analyzes things thoroughly, haha, which means that we should just ignore this matter as before and let him do whatever he wants. But no matter what he does, he will not get any good results."

"Hey, Secretary Fang, you must not say that. How can you say that there is no good fruit to eat? Some comrades are willing to make a fuss about small things, and we can't do anything about it. Besides, he has said more than once that the County Commission for Discipline Inspection is a very independent department. In fact, how to deal with this matter has nothing to do with our Dahu County Party Committee. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The Dahu County Discipline Inspection Commission is indeed a very independent department. This is what some comrades have said themselves. So when my superiors ask me about this, I just need to answer like this. Haha, it's still Brother Sizhe who has the idea. He has the idea." Fang Xianzhi, who finally understood what Feng Sizhe meant, couldn't help laughing.

Feng Sizhe's opinion is that you should still hold a nonchalant attitude and let Lu Zhuo do whatever he wants. Whether you report Comrade Zhu Dongnong's problem to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection out of anger, or just treat it as if you farted and let Comrade Zhu Dongnong go now, in short, it is you, Lu Zhuo, who will be in trouble. It has nothing to do with the Dahu County Party Committee and other people. You can think of it this way, then there will be no problem, and you won't be annoyed or troubled, because the one who is annoyed and troubled should be Lu Zhuo.

Just as Feng Sizhe analyzed, Lu Zhuo slammed the door and walked out of Fang Xianzhi's place, looking very angry when he returned to his office.

Fang Xianzhi was too disrespectful to him. He knew the purpose of his visit, but he still humiliated him in every possible way. Could it be that he and Feng Sizhe were actually in the same boat, and he just wanted to see him laugh? But he didn't think about it. If Zhu Dongnong's matter was really reported to the Municipal Party Committee, would he be proud? He originally went there with the purpose of a win-win situation, in order to make a big thing small, but he didn't seem to appreciate it. Well, then he really reported the matter to the higher-level Municipal Party Committee to see if he, as the county party secretary, could escape the criticism from the Municipal Party Committee.

In such a fit of anger, Lu Zhuo actually drafted a report and reported Comrade Zhu Dongnong's problems to the Yongyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The materials were submitted to the higher-ups, but Lu Zhuo seemed to be still not satisfied, so he called his deputy Shen Wen and said, "Comrade Shen Wen, you must immediately organize all the staff of the county discipline inspection commission to go down and investigate thoroughly to see if there are any other problems with the cadres in Dahu County. Remember, investigate carefully and vigorously, and do not let go of any suspicious points. I really want to see if the cadres in Dahu County are really so honest and upright, and if there are really no problems at all."

Lu Zhuo was really angry, which made Shen Wen, who wanted to comfort him, dare not say anything. He just nodded to indicate that he would do as he was told.

As a result, a major investigation of the county's cadres and discipline inspection commissions began. All county discipline inspection commission staff, except for one person on duty to answer the phone, went to various departments and townships to start a major investigation of all cadres.

This action had a rather grand flavor. When all the discipline inspection committee members began to appear in the offices of various departments wearing the same black clothes and black pants, the county party committee compound was the first to become a bit chaotic.

For example, the County Petition Bureau has a very complicated job. Every day, they have to receive all kinds of petitions and people who think that they are being treated unfairly. Many of these people do not understand the Party discipline and the laws of the country. They only look at things from their own perspective. So naturally, many of their questions are groundless or even fabricated. But when the staff of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived here, they quickly took over the work that the staff here should do, and began to investigate the people's unsubstantiated and even speculative statements.

For example, some people think that the cadres in their village are unqualified. Otherwise, why do some people in the same village become rich while they are still poor? For this reason, they report that their village cadres are biased towards certain individuals. Upon receiving such reports, the staff of the county discipline inspection commission immediately intervened and started to talk with them. Under their guidance, the people directly said that the village cadres may have received bribes from others, so they gave special care to some people, did good things for them, and left good opportunities for people like him to grasp, so that there is a fact that some people are richer than them.

In fact, the result of such things is very obvious, that is, the rich people succeed by their unique vision and hard-working hands. The people who are still poor and come to petition are because they only know how to guard their own small piece of land, do not make trouble, and are not flexible. However, these things are not the case for the staff of the county discipline inspection commission. In line with the strict order of Secretary Lu Zhuo, they believe that this is really the result of the partiality of the village cadres and the personal influence of the village cadres. As a result, the staff of the county discipline inspection commission directly followed the petitioning people to their village and began to conduct an unnecessary investigation on the village cadres here.

Of course, this is only part of the story. For example, some county officials have better family conditions and their homes are more luxurious, so they immediately become targets of investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. In their view, everyone gets a fixed salary, so why are some families so rich while others are poor? Of course, the rich people become targets and objects of investigation.

This unfounded investigation, which was based entirely on speculation, soon threw the work of the county party committee and county government into chaos. Many staff members were interviewed by the county disciplinary committee in the name of investigation, and some were interviewed several times a day. For a time, many departments were unable to work normally for this reason. This was the main reason for the chaos.

Feng Sizhe was reviewing documents in his office. As the head of a county, he was in charge of the county's economic lifeline. His work was actually very busy. He received documents for review every day, and there were many cadres who came to report in person. However, he did not like official jargon, and he did not like flattery. Often, when the cadres below came to report on their work, Feng Sizhe would just wave his hand and let them go. Gradually, everyone knew that he really took "development as the hard truth" very seriously. As a result, all the cadres focused on their work, and there were very few people who came to report on their work to increase their feelings for each other. In this way, he finally had more opportunities to work in the office instead of dealing with boring social events.

But this habit was broken starting this morning, as cadres actually lined up to report their work to him.

At first, Feng Sizhe was confused. It was not the harvest season, nor was it the time for cadres to be investigated. What was the meaning of these people coming to report to him? But soon, he found out the truth of the matter while talking to them. It turned out that these people came to complain, because since yesterday afternoon, the county discipline inspection commission has started a major investigation of all county cadres, from deputy division-level cadres to a small section-level staff member who was not yet a formal civil servant. They were all called in for a talk by the county discipline inspection commission.
