Chapter 0007: Aunt's Colleague
At the entrance of the Ministry of Propaganda, there stood imposing armed police. Feng Sizhe stepped forward and presented his work ID from the Youth Cadre Class, explaining whom he was looking for. The armed police officer was very responsible, running to the duty room to make a call to the Personnel Department's Second Division, and successfully reached his aunt, Feng Lizhu.
As soon as the call connected, Feng Sizhe heard his aunt's voice, "Oh, you little rascal, how did you find my workplace?" In the past, it was always Feng Sizhe who called from the Youth Class, and she would go to pick him up. This time, with Feng Sizhe reaching out to her directly, it was no wonder that Feng Lizhu felt a bit bewildered.
It must be said that Feng Sizhe indeed meets the standards of being very handsome, having inherited the finest traits from his parents. He has a square face, double eyelids, large eyes, a broad forehead, and a mouth and nose of moderate size. Especially notable is his height, which is about 1.82 meters. Coupled with the gentlemanly demeanor he has developed during his years in the UK, he is undoubtedly a top-notch handsome young man
Oh. Feng Sizhe nodded slightly; he had not expected Zhang Na to be Huang Dongren's wife. Could it be that this world is truly different from the one he was familiar with? Feng Sizhe shook his head once more
The Zhao family's Jeep had long been waiting outside the gate of the Ministry of Propaganda. Feng Lizhu pulled Feng Zhe into the car. Without either of them saying a word, the driver started the engine and headed towards General Zhao's courtyard.
Hehe. He smiled foolishly at Zhang Na for a moment. "Aunt, I am hungry, let's go back." Feng Zhe was unwilling to go see Huang Dongren again and casually found a reason.
"Alright." Feng Sizhe replied and stepped out of the duty booth, waiting for his aunt from the library to come out of the Central Propaganda Department building.
In the car, Zhao Lizhu seemed worried that Feng Sizhe might be starving, and hurriedly urged the driver to speed up a bit. Naturally, Feng Sizhe felt warm in his heart at his aunt's concern. "Aunt, I don't like that Huang Dongren. Could you please avoid associating with him in the future?" After some thought, Feng Sizhe decided to voice this concern, even though he was unsure whether the course of history would follow a parallel world after his rebirth. However, he firmly believed that it was necessary to give an early warning. Emotions are quite mysterious; once one becomes entangled, even if one extricates oneself early, it can still leave a trace of sadness. Feng Sizhe did not want his aunt to tread the old path that would cause her distress and sorrow, which is why he brought it up. Although he was uncertain about the trajectory of history after his rebirth, he still felt it was important to provide an early reminder. Emotions are indeed peculiar; once ensnared, even a premature withdrawal can evoke some sadness. Feng Sizhe wished to prevent his aunt from revisiting that painful road, hence he mentioned it.
In my memory, the new Publicity Department has long been established, and the address remains here. However, the new Publicity Department is evidently much taller, more imposing, and more modern. The two tall stone lions that used to stand here are long gone, yet these two stone lions still stand here. All of this is a reminder to Feng Sizhe that it is now 1990, and it is no longer the era of 2012.
Feng Zhe, who was extremely familiar with the streets of Kyoto, did not call his aunt as usual to pick him up. Now, he could completely discern directions and was prepared to walk back to the Ministry of Propaganda. In fact, the distance was not too far; traversing through the streets and alleys would only be a few kilometers, which was not a significant matter for the young Feng Sizhe.
Hearing others ask about him, he also looked up. He felt indifferent towards the woman, Feng Sizhe, but was taken aback upon seeing the man. His impression of this man was too profound; he was the swindler, Huang Dongren, who later deceived his aunt for money and lust.
Oh, Aunt Zhang. After spending so many years in the UK and receiving a higher education, Feng Sizhe is still very polite, bowing his head and calling out to that girl.
Feng Sizhe smiled slightly, thinking that it was nothing more than walking to the Ministry of Propaganda. His aunt believed it was not a big deal. Was he really so incompetent when he was young?
The study schedule for the youth class is quite relaxed, as classes are only held in the morning, and there is an additional day off on Sundays. In 1990, the concept of a two-day weekend did not yet exist in the country
This reason is somewhat acceptable, Zhao Lizhu did not think much of it, "Alright, wait for me, I will tidy up a bit and come down, it is also time to get off work."
Walking along the main street of Kyoto, breathing in the fresh air of the city, and observing people dressed in the fashion of the 1980s and 1990s bustling about, this is quite a novel experience that Feng Sizhe finds rather enjoyable
The youth class merely discusses some theories or speaks of grand principles, and then focuses more on political situations, even touching on the education of simplicity and hardship. Of course, there are times in class when terms related to party character cultivation are mentioned, but for young men and women just in their early twenties, these concepts seem somewhat distant. Some individuals have only recently joined the party, like Feng Sizhe, who is a typical example of someone sharpening their tools at the last moment; he only joined the party after returning to the motherland from the United Kingdom. These individuals do not yet have a deeper understanding of party character cultivation.

Everything appears so fresh, scenes from many years ago now unfold before Feng Sizhe. This all feels dreamlike, giving him a sense of unreality, yet it is undeniably real. Unavoidably, Feng Sizhe feels a deep sense of happiness; perhaps this is the emotion one experiences when walking through memories.
Many people in the Publicity Department have heard about Feng Sizhe. As a dual master's degree holder returning from abroad, he naturally attracted attention in that era. Talents like him are bound to enter politics in the future. Therefore, Huang Dongren intended to have a few words with Feng Sizhe to get acquainted, but unexpectedly, Feng Sizhe showed no intention of engaging with him at all.
"Lizhu, who is this? So handsome." Just as Feng Lizhu was speaking with Feng Sizhe, a man and a woman approached from behind them. The man was of similar height to Feng Zhe, looking quite handsome and refined. The woman was dressed in a fitted black women's suit, making it clear at a glance that she was a government employee
After three classes in the morning, the school bell rang, and the students stood up one after another to see the teacher out of the classroom. Subsequently, they left the class in small groups. Feng Zhe merely greeted Xie Zhiyuan and Xu Yuanyuan before leaving the Zhongqing class and heading towards his family's courtyard.
"Ah? What did you say?" Listening to Feng Sizhe's words, Zhao Lizhu was first taken aback, then seemed to awaken. "What are you thinking? That Zhang Na is Huang Dongren's wife, and they have a very good relationship. Hmph, little brat, your head is full of capitalist ideas." As she spoke, Zhao Lizhu even poked Feng Sizhe's forehead with her finger.
Throughout the entire class, Feng Sizhe hardly paid attention to what the teacher was saying, but was instead focused on writing something in his notebook.
Walking on the streets, feeling the simplicity of the local customs in Kyoto in the 1990s, and observing the bicycles freely traversing the thoroughfare, Feng Sizhe truly grasped the significance of being in a bicycle kingdom. Speaking of which, he quite enjoyed this feeling; at least the sky was very blue, the trees were very green, and there was not much environmental pollution.
Although Feng Zhe does not appear to be much younger than Zhang Na, when Feng Zhe calls her, she feels nothing. Perhaps in that era, the age gap between the eldest daughter and the second daughter was quite significant. Sometimes, the children of the eldest family could be nearly the same age as their own younger aunts, uncles, or cousins. In such a broad environment, people become desensitized to these age differences.
One must never underestimate these matters, as they are undoubtedly the highest-level secrets of the world, for they record significant events that are to occur in the future. Before his rebirth, Feng Sizhe worked as a social affairs commentator for the national news station. In a world where information was rampant online, Feng Sizhe conducted research on many issues, which deepened his understanding of the future trends and situations of the world. This is undoubtedly a superlative wealth that cannot be replaced by anything else, as found on m.hetushu.com.
Hello, this is my nephew Feng Sizhe, who is studying in the Young Cadres Class at the Party School. Come, Feng Sizhe, this is my colleague Zhang Na from the Personnel Department and Huang Dongren. At this moment, Zhao Lizhu had no idea that her life trajectory would intersect with Huang Dongren in ways she could not yet foresee
"Oh, that's fine. Zhang Na, Huang Dongren, then we will leave first." Hearing that Feng Sizhe said he was hungry, Zhao Lizhu felt a bit anxious. She thought about how Feng Sizhe had walked from the Party School to the Publicity Department today, so it was normal for him to be hungry after such exertion. At this moment, she did not consider that Feng Sizhe had not greeted Huang Dongren at all from beginning to end.
Oh, I came here with my classmates; they brought me over. I casually made up a reason.
Without waiting too long, Zhao Lizhu quickly ran out and playfully gave Feng Sizhe a light punch, saying, "You've improved; it's impressive that you found where I work."
It was only a few kilometers away. Feng Sizhe looked around and soon arrived in front of the building of the Publicity Department of the Central Committee.
Oh, so this is your nephew who returned from studying abroad with multiple master's degrees, haha, really handsome. Just don't call me Aunt Zhang in the future; it's better to call me Sister Zhang. We can keep it separate, without involving your little aunt. " After hearing Zhao Lizhu's introduction, Zhang Na warmly greeted Feng Sizhe, but upon hearing him call her Aunt Zhang, she felt a bit old.
Of course, this is entirely different for Feng Sizhe, who, as a party member for several decades, is well aware of the importance of having a strong party character
