Chapter 118: The Overlooked Standing Committee Member

  What a powerful county party secretary, who ended the standing committee meeting in an instant with his own words. There was no intention to consult with anyone at all, although the secretary is the first-in-command, but you should at least consult with the county magistrate, or even just exchange a glance, why did he force it through without even looking at anyone? The political atmosphere of Dahulu County is indeed somewhat different from others.

  After Director Sun finished speaking and dismissed the meeting, he led the way out. As soon as he left, followed by Deputy Secretary Pi Taisheng, Organization Department Head Niu Daxin, Political and Legal Committee Secretary Yang Chao, Vice County Mayor Qi Hengsan, and County Party Committee Office Director Li Yige, they all stood up one after another and followed in the footsteps of the secretary, forming the first batch to leave.

  Then it was Secretary of Discipline Inspection Commission Wu Guangrong, and United Front Work Department head Jia Bin also stood up, the two men walked out of the meeting room one after another as the second batch.

  At this moment, only five people were left sitting in the chairs in the conference room, including Feng Sizhe, County Magistrate Fang Xianzhi, Propaganda Minister He Zonghua, Armed Minister Li Wanli, and Trade Union Chairman Lin Jianli.

  Lin Jian looked at Fang Xianzhi, seeing his gloomy face, he didn't speak to him, but instead turned to Feng Sizhe and said, "County Magistrate Feng, Director Zhou had a few words for me before he left, I'm not sure if you're available now, I'd like to have a private talk with you."

  Feng Siche knew the conversation was fake, and he wanted to let Feng Siche leave here calmly. He also saw Sun Shicun's strong momentum and Fang Xianzhi's weakness. At this moment, he couldn't say anything. In fact, where was his strength? At least the other twelve standing committee members had spoken, but he didn't even have a chance to express himself. It was said that he was more sorrowful than anyone else. Since Lin Jian wanted him to walk out of this vortex, he wouldn't object. He stood up and nodded. "Okay, Chairman Lin, let's go to the office to talk."

  It's just an excuse, after the two people walked out of the conference room and said a few words, they immediately went their separate ways. The scene of Feng Sicheng getting drunk last night seems to be very disappointing, especially today Sun Shicun didn't even give him a chance to speak, which is enough to show that this person's weight in the county committee is really too light.

  It's likely that Sun Shicun also knew what Feng Sicong's answer would be. After all, he had just started working at the county committee on his first day and many people didn't know him, so it was almost impossible for him to suddenly go cast a vote of approval. Adding to this, there was Fang Xianzhi's precedent, so it's likely that he abstained from voting. Since Sun Shicun already knew the answer, which wasn't in his own interest, why did he still want Feng Sicong to say it out loud? Sun Shicun then pretended to have forgotten about Feng Sicong and directly announced the final result before adjourning the meeting.

  Feng Sicheng was directly ignored by the county committee for the first time, and his mood can be imagined to be not pleasant. However, he didn't show any of this on his face. He who could communicate with Comrade De from Germany for several hours, how could he be intimidated by a county party secretary? It's just that no matter whether he was angry or not, he knew that things couldn't continue like this, otherwise coming to Dahu would really become a waste of experience. This time it was his strong request to go down and temper himself, if it really ended in nothing being accomplished, then he wouldn't be able to avoid being seen through, which is something that cannot happen within his dignity.

  After parting with Lin, he returned to the office and glanced at his watch, it was already 11 o'clock, which was the time for lunch break. He walked out of the office and headed towards the hotel's dining hall. Who cares what happened? The sky is big, but eating is bigger. He had to go back to the hotel to fill his stomach first, so he would have the energy to think about more things and do more things.

  Feng Sichu himself is an open-minded person. In his previous life, he was dissatisfied with being forced to stay in the country by his uncle and had a "broken pot" mentality, feeling that nothing mattered and not caring about anything. Over time, his personality became extremely magnanimous. Although he was reborn, many of his habits and personality traits from his previous life could not be changed overnight. In his heart, there was another voice comforting himself, saying that even Fang Xianzhi, the county magistrate who had been in office for two years since the Great Lake era, was being cold-shouldered by others, so as a mere deputy county magistrate, what did he have to be angry about?

  After leaving the county party committee's courtyard, Feng Sicheng's face regained its smile, as if nothing had happened. He walked briskly towards the county party committee's guesthouse, and along the way, he also saw a few colleagues working at the county party committee. He was still warmly greeting them, giving people no feeling of disappointment.

  The reception hall is not far from the county committee itself, it's just a ten-minute walk. Feng Sicheng walked back. To say that because this morning he had to familiarize himself with his work and attend the Standing Committee meeting, no one asked him about arranging for a secretary or driver. Since he had just started working, these things were not necessary yet, so he didn't bother to think about them too much.

  As soon as the front foot had just entered the reception room, Wang Hong followed closely behind. "Director Feng, Director Feng, please stay."

  "Oh, what's up?" To Wang Hong, who had just come into contact with him, Feng Sizi didn't have much of a feeling yet. He only knew that this woman was strong-willed and used to judging people by their appearance, otherwise she wouldn't be sitting in the position of director of the reception office.

  "County Magistrate Feng, it's like this, I..." She lowered her head, although Wang Hong was already 38 years old, much older than Feng Si Zhe by a generation, but at this moment when facing him, she still didn't know how to say some things.

  "Hehe, Director Wang, I'll be staying here for a while, and there are many things that will inevitably require your care. Go ahead, what's on your mind? As long as it's within my power, I'll do my best to help." Feng Sicheng noticed that Wang Hong seemed to have something difficult to say, judging from her hesitant expression, so he chuckled encouragingly.

  "Hmm." Seemingly having made up his mind, Wang Hong suddenly lifted his head and looked at Feng Sicheng, saying, "Mayor Feng, my lover wants to invite me out for lunch this afternoon. I wonder if you can do us the honor of joining us?"

  Feng Sicheng won't be forced to move out of the guest house just because someone said something, and Wang Hong can't even open his mouth. If someone really did that, it would be considered provoking him. As a newcomer, he wouldn't have anywhere to live if they pressured him like that. All he needs to do is make a casual phone call to his uncle in Kyoto, and then his uncle will casually mention something to the central leaders, whoever they are. It's not just the county committee of Dahu, but also the municipal committee of Yongyang City, and even the provincial committee of Zhongzhou Province that would be implicated. After all, it's a big deal to provoke someone like that. As a deputy county head, Feng Sicheng should still receive normal treatment, not to mention that he has a general uncle who dotes on him extremely.

  Feng Sichao had already made up his mind about this matter, and when he came to the place, he didn't have the idea of asking for help from his uncle. He also knew that even if his uncle wanted to help, he might not be able to. But if someone really couldn't even get the most basic treatment right, then he would inevitably make a big deal out of it. What he didn't expect was that Wang Hong said it was a private matter, and that she was meeting with her husband. Then who would her husband be? Feng Sichao hesitated for a moment before asking back, "Wang Shuo's lover is..."
