official career

"Have you heard about Huang Jiancheng's incident?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

Qin Feng nodded, lit a cigarette for himself without much hesitation, and answered Xie Zhiguo's question while smoking: "What did he do wrong? Where did this incident come from?"

Qin Feng has always been paying attention to the Huang Jiancheng case and knows a relatively detailed story about it, but all he knows are official news, and the specific information about this case is definitely not as detailed as what Xie Zhiguo knows.

It is crucial to find out where the Huang Jiancheng case broke out.

"Xinglong City." Xie Zhiguo knew the purpose of Qin Feng's question and gave a simple and direct answer.

Huang Jiancheng worked in Xinglong City before coming to Xiquan.

Qin Feng felt a little disappointed when he heard that the problem occurred in Xinglong City. If it was in Xiquan, the "results" would definitely be more significant.

However, Qin Feng understood after thinking about it carefully. Whether from the perspective of the province or Xie Zhiguo, the problems in Xinglong City are much easier to control than those in Xiquan City.

"Something went wrong in Xinglong City, and evidence of Huang Jiancheng's crimes was uncovered. After investigation, it was found that Huang Jiancheng had committed a large number of crimes in Xinglong City, and the source of the huge amount of funds was unknown. It is said that the amount found was already in the tens of millions."

"The case is still under further investigation. It is not clear whether Xiquan is involved. It is not appropriate for us to ask too much about this matter. Everything depends on the notification from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection." Xie Zhiguo said slowly.

Qin Feng nodded, he understood what Xie Zhiguo meant.

"But Huang Jiancheng has been removed from his post and expelled from the party. His vacant position must be filled as soon as possible, otherwise it will seriously affect the normal work of the municipal party committee and municipal government."

"You came back from Zhongjiang. You should have met Minister Zhao in Zhongjiang, right?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

"Well, I went to visit Minister Zhao after returning to Zhongjiang from Beijing."

"What did Minister Zhao tell you? Did he talk to you? Did he mention that the organization wanted you to take over Huang Jiancheng's position?" Xie Zhiguo asked simply and directly.

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded again.

"How did you answer?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

"Secretary Xie, does it matter how I answer?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Indeed, it doesn’t matter how Qin Feng answers, and he can’t have any other answer.

Xie Zhiguo also smiled and said, "Tell me your true thoughts. It's okay. Let's just have a private chat today."

"Secretary Xie, this matter should have been arranged before I went to Beijing to study, right?" Qin Feng did not answer Xie Zhiguo's question, but asked Xie Zhiguo a question first.

"Yes, but I know nothing just like you. I guessed this not much earlier than you did." Xie Zhiguo also revealed a helpless smile.

"From what happened this time, you should have seen that the higher-ups are really angry. You should also realize the urgency and importance of this matter. There is no way out for you and me."

"Qin Feng, if you don't want to be involved in this matter, I can talk to the leaders." Xie Zhiguo looked at Qin Feng and said.

"Secretary Xie, I am not someone who knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm." Qin Feng smiled and continued, "Minister Zhao asked me the same question before, so you should know my answer, so there is no need to talk about this matter again."

"I want to know what the organization and you think right now." Qin Feng asked Xie Zhiguo while smoking.

Qin Feng talked with Xie Zhiguo for a long time this time. After almost an hour, Qin Feng slowly walked out of Xie Zhiguo's office.

Qin Feng did not go to the municipal government, but went directly back to his home in Xiquan.

Qin Feng is in an awkward position in the municipal government now. Although he is still the deputy mayor, he had already transferred all the work under his charge to Huang Jiancheng before leaving for Beijing to study. Although Huang Jiancheng has now been expelled from the party and removed from his post, the problem is that the municipal government has not transferred these tasks back to him. Given Liu Xiaoping's character, he would definitely not do that.

So Qin Feng is now just a deputy mayor in name only. In this case, he is too lazy to go to work in the city government anymore.

According to convention, after he returned, he should first report to the secretary general of the municipal government, and then report to Liu Xiaoping, but Qin Feng simply skipped these procedures.

After staying in Xiquan for one night, Zhang Yuguang arranged for a driver to come to Qin Feng's building to pick him up to go to work in Yian early the next morning.

Qin Feng has no plan to leave Yian until the organization gives him a new appointment.

The end of the year is almost approaching and Yian has a lot of things to do, so he can just stay in Yian and finish his last shift.

Unlike in the past when any sign of trouble at the top would be spread widely in advance, this time the news that Qin Feng would take over the position of executive vice mayor from Huang Jiancheng was kept quiet. No one knew about it at all.

This also shows that the provincial leaders attach great importance to this matter and are definitely still wrestling with it.

It was a good thing for Qin Feng that there were no rumors. At least he could have a quiet time. New Year's Day was coming soon, and Qin Feng hoped that the appointment would be made after the New Year, so that he could spend a good year in peace.

I don’t know since when, being able to spend the New Year in peace and tranquility has become a luxury.

Just the day before the New Year's Day holiday, Qin Feng suddenly received a call from Li Jing in Sichuan. Li Jing's voice was trembling with excitement on the phone.

"Qin Feng... Hong Yue... Hong Yue... moved... she moved..."

Listening to Li Jing's stuttering words, Qin Feng had no idea what Li Jing meant. He played a second barrel and asked, "What moved?"

Those who played mahjong with Qin Feng were Zhang Yuguang, Peng Shenghui and Xie Jiankai.

Qin Feng is living in Yian this time, which is a rare opportunity for Zhang Yuguang, Peng Shenghui and others to get close to him, so the evening activities are basically occupied by these people.

Qin Feng had no interest in playing mahjong, and it was even more boring to play with these people. However, he was not busy with work and was indeed bored at night, so he would occasionally play mahjong and drink with them.

"Hong Yue... can move... her legs... are moving..." Li Jing said excitedly again.

Hearing this, Qin Feng was petrified instantly, then he threw the mahjong in his hand on the table, stood up and asked loudly into the phone: "What did you say? You said Hong Yue's legs can move? Did she stand up?"

Qin Feng's sudden excitement stunned the other three people. They just looked at Qin Feng who stood up and yelled at the phone.
