official career

Li Jianjun hurried out and went back to the office to call and ask what was going on. A few minutes later, Li Jianjun came to Qin Feng's office again.

"The Public Security Bureau is arresting people, so there's such a big commotion."

"Why would the Public Security Bureau's arresting of people cause such a big fuss?" Qin Feng felt strange. It was no longer news that the police station drove away illegal petitioners in front of the city government.

"A lot of people were arrested this time, so the Public Security Bureau dispatched more people, and the noise was a bit louder. It is said that the people resisted fiercely and there was a fight at the scene." Li Jianjun continued to answer.

"There are too many people? How many people have been arrested in total?"

"It is said that there were nearly a hundred people causing trouble at the gate today."

"Hundreds of people? What's going on? What could cause so many people to cause trouble?" Qin Feng was surprised.

"This... I don't know, I'll go and ask in detail." Li Jianjun prepared to go out again.

"Wait a minute, have you asked? Who gave the order to arrest people? There are hundreds of people here. Who has the guts to arrest them by force? Aren't you afraid of causing mass incidents?" Qin Feng asked coldly.

"It is said that the order was issued by the mayor himself, requiring the arrest of all people, without leaving a single one alive, and all of them will be detained for illegal assembly and provoking disturbances. Those who refuse to cooperate will be dealt with as criminals," said Li Jianjun.

Qin Feng's eyes widened when he heard this. Why did Liu Xiaoping suddenly become so concerned about this matter and so radical?

As a senior politician, Liu Xiaoping could not have failed to understand the sensitivity of mass incidents. How could he have used such drastic and brutal methods to deal with them?

Qin Feng lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He said to Li Jianjun, "You don't have to follow me to the dinner later. Go and find out what's going on."

"Okay!" Li Jianjun nodded and walked out.

It was time to get off work. After Li Jianjun left, Qin Feng went downstairs, got into Wang Jun's car parked there, and asked Wang Jun to drive the car to the best hotel in Xiquan City.

When the car drove out of the city government gate, the crowd at the gate had dispersed. There were no people gathering to petition, nor were there any police officers. However, there were a few abandoned shoes at the gate, which showed how loud the noise was before.

Wang Jun drove the car to the back door of the most luxurious hotel in Xiquan City. Big leaders like Qin Feng usually don't go directly through the main door when they come to such hotels. After all, it would have a bad impact if they were seen and recognized. These hotels all have a special door.

The car drove in through a special back door and went straight to the downstairs where we had dinner.

When the car stopped, Wu Zhitao stood at the door to greet Qin Feng.

When Liu Xiaoping invited people to dinner, Wu Zhitao was left with the job of doorman and greeting guests.

"Mayor Qin, thank you for your hard work!" Wu Zhitao said with a smile.

Qin Feng just nodded silently and strode inside.

"Mayor Qin, please be magnanimous and forgive us for what happened during the last inspection. We were also passive. This was not what we agreed with Mr. Deng. You also know that he will ignore us and we can't influence him." In the elevator, Wu Zhitao took the initiative to "review" himself to Qin Feng.

In Qin Feng's view, Wu Zhitao's self-criticism is bullshit. Wu Zhitao is a dog of Liu Xiaoping. He will not have too much respect for Qin Feng, nor dare to be too close to Qin Feng. So Qin Feng never expects Wu Zhitao and Tai'an County to really act according to his wishes.

Of course, Qin Feng didn’t take Wu Zhitao too seriously at the moment.

Qin Feng just nodded to Wu Zhitao's "review" without giving any response. Wu Zhitao was not worthy of his response.

When we walked into the luxurious private room that had been prepared long ago, Cao Guanlin was already sitting inside smoking and playing with his mobile phone, and several beautiful waitresses were carefully placing tableware on the large round table.

Cao Guanlin, who was sitting on the luxurious sofa next to him with his legs crossed, stood up immediately when he saw Qin Feng coming in: "Mayor Qin."

"Comrade Guanlin, you're here early." Qin Feng greeted Cao Guanlin.

Actually, Qin Feng was just talking nonsense. Although Liu Xiaoping said that Deng Xiaogang came to Qin Feng to apologize today, Qin Feng knew very well that with Deng Xiaogang's personality as the second-generation official who thinks he is the best in the world, how could he bow his head and apologize to Qin Feng? This dinner was naturally arranged by Liu Xiaoping, and then he brought Deng Xiaogang and Qin Feng together to have a meal, hoping to get things done as soon as possible so that he would not have to do it too hard.

Liu Xiaoping was inviting everyone to dinner, so the chief steward Cao Guanlin naturally had to arrange everything, so Cao Guanlin naturally had to come here in advance to make arrangements, and Wu Zhitao, who was the guest, was responsible for picking up Qin Feng.

"I heard that there was a disturbance in front of the city government today, and the Public Security Bureau even went to arrest someone. What happened?" Qin Feng asked Cao Guanlin after sitting down.

"They are all old petitioners. They don't follow the normal petition procedures and always want to run to the city government to make trouble. It's endless. If we don't teach them a lesson, they really don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes." Cao Guanlin summed up the words in one sentence. He didn't say anything useful. Qin Feng felt that Cao Guanlin did not say anything on purpose.

The more Cao Guanlin was evasive in his words, the more Qin Feng suspected there was something wrong. Of course, if Cao Guanlin didn't say anything, Qin Feng wouldn't ask again.

After chatting for a while, the door opened and Liu Xiaoping walked in, followed by Deng Xiaogang. Deng Xiaogang saw Qin Feng behind Liu Xiaoping, and Qin Feng saw disdain in Deng Xiaogang's eyes.

Deng Xiaogang's disdainful and provocative look made Qin Feng very uncomfortable, but Qin Feng did not care too much. Although Deng Xiaogang was not much younger than Qin Feng, in Qin Feng's eyes Deng Xiaogang was just a child. How could he care so much about a child?

"Qin Feng, sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Liu Xiaoping smiled and held Qin Feng's hand.

"No, no, I just got here too."

"Come on, Xiaogang, meet Mayor Qin." Liu Xiaoping turned and said to Deng Xiaogang.

"Mayor Qin, long time no see." Deng Xiaogang said to Qin Feng in a frivolous tone as he walked to his seat.

Logically speaking, Deng Xiaogang should have shaken hands with Qin Feng respectfully and apologized to Qin Feng. This is how an apology should be made. However, Deng Xiaogang's attitude clearly showed that he had no intention of apologizing and did not take Qin Feng seriously.

Deng Xiaogang's attitude did not make Qin Feng too angry, but instead made Liu Xiaoping feel a little caught in a dilemma and very embarrassed.

In the end, Liu Xiaoping could only give Qin Feng an apologetic look, patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, and invited Qin Feng to sit down.

After we sat down, the food was served.

Liu Xiaoping, Qin Feng, Cao Guanlin and Wu Zhitao were chatting happily, while Deng Xiaogang was sitting with his legs crossed, playing with his mobile phone, and didn't take the others seriously at all.
