official career

Qin Feng nodded and said nothing. He naturally knew why Vice Governor Deng called Xie Zhiguo at this time.

Qin Feng originally thought that Xie Zhiguo would go to the side to answer the phone, but what Qin Feng did not expect was that Xie Zhiguo actually took the call from Vice Governor Deng in front of Qin Feng, Liu Xiaoping and Tang Yun, and even turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Governor Deng." Xie Zhiguo took the phone with a smile.

"Comrade Zhiguo, I just heard that there was a shooting incident in your Xiquan. The person attacked was Qin Feng, your Xiquan Executive Vice Mayor. Is this true?" Vice Governor Deng went straight to the point.

"Yes, that's what happened. The criminals are rampant and lawless. I am preparing to report this matter to the provincial party committee and government and review it to the leaders." Xie Zhiguo said in a serious tone.

"I think it is not appropriate to report this matter to the provincial party committee before the matter has been thoroughly investigated. After all, we have not yet figured out why the gunman shot and attacked Qin Feng. If we rashly report this to the provincial party committee, if there is any turn of events, it will put your Xiquan Municipal Party Committee in a passive position."

"Of course, it is your job to report or not. You decide for yourself. I am just giving you a suggestion." Vice Governor Deng said with a smile.

"Thank you Governor Deng for your concern. We will consider this issue carefully." Xie Zhiguo was also very experienced. He kept his mouth shut and showed no attitude to Vice Governor Deng.

"Comrade Zhiguo, let me give you another suggestion," Vice Governor Deng continued.

"Governor Deng, please give your instructions."

"I think this is a very embarrassing thing for Xiquan City. If it is publicized, it will greatly damage the image of Xiquan City. It will have a great impact on your Xiquan Municipal Party Committee and your personal development. After this incident, how do you want the public to view your Xiquan Municipal Party Committee? How do you want the organization and the provincial party committee leaders to view you, Xie Zhiguo?"

"So I think you should try your best to suppress this matter, handle it in a low-key manner, appease Comrade Qin Feng's emotions, make a big thing small, resolve this matter on a small scale, and strictly control media reports." Vice Governor Deng gave Xie Zhiguo direct advice, although this had little direct relationship with the work he was in charge of.

After listening to Vice Governor Deng's words, Xie Zhiguo looked up at Qin Feng, then smiled and said to the phone: "Okay, we will seriously consider Vice Governor Deng's suggestions."

Xie Zhiguo's words were also very insightful. He said to seriously consider it, not to execute it. This clearly means that he would not execute it according to what Vice Governor Deng said. Moreover, he used the word suggestion, not order, which was to remind Vice Governor Deng that he had no power to order him what to do.

Xie Zhiguo sounded very respectful to Vice Governor Deng throughout the whole process, but in fact he was resisting Vice Governor Deng the whole time. It can be seen from this how angry Xie Zhiguo was this time.

"Comrade Zhiguo, I will sign all the projects in Xiquan in the next few days, and then ask them to speed up the progress and implement them. They cannot be delayed any further." Vice Governor Deng said, changing the subject.

After Vice Governor Deng said this, Xie Zhiguo fell silent.

"Thank you so much, leaders. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Xiquan." Xie Zhiguo said with a smile.

"In addition, the province recently has a Jiangxi North Logistics Center project with an investment of 3 billion yuan. My personal opinion is to place this project in your Xiquan. This will better connect the logistics and transportation of the entire Jiangxi North region, thereby promoting the economic development and people's livelihood of the entire Jiangxi North region. At the same time, it will also help your Xiquan achieve the goal of building a central city in the Jiangxi North region." Vice Governor Deng continued.

At this point, Xie Zhiguo couldn't help but twitch his face. For a municipal party secretary, especially in an economically underdeveloped and poor city like Xiquan, the importance of logistics is self-evident. The regional logistics center project built with a provincial investment of 3 billion yuan is even more comparable to Tang Monk's meat.

Xie Zhiguo thanked Vice Governor Deng profusely and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Zhiguo put away his smile and said nothing.

Xie Zhiguo didn't speak, and neither did the other three.

Vice Governor Deng's meaning was very clear. As long as Xiquan City could make a big deal out of this shooting incident, he would immediately approve all three projects to Xiquan City, and at the same time, he would also give it a heavyweight regional logistics center project. Otherwise, that project would definitely fail.

For the entire Xiquan, this is an investment worth 600 to 700 million yuan. What's more, the construction of the regional logistics center project is not just a simple investment. Once completed, it will not only greatly promote the economic development of Xiquan, but also help Xiquan become the regional center city of the entire northern Jiangxi. This is too important for Xiquan and the temptation is too great.

Vice Governor Deng spent a lot of money for his son.

Xie Zhiguo, who had already quit smoking, took a cigarette from the box Qin Feng had placed on the coffee table, lit it, took a few puffs, leaned back on the sofa and said, "Tell me what you think."

After Xie Zhiguo finished speaking, Liu Xiaoping took over and said, "The matter is already very clear. If we investigate this matter, we will not only lose the three projects that are about to be obtained, but also miss the very important project of the logistics center. We will also completely offend Vice Governor Deng. This is an unbearable burden for us in Xiquan, and it will also be a huge loss for the people of Xiquan."

"And what Vice Governor Deng just said is very clear. It is indeed not appropriate to make too much of this matter. As long as the robber is caught, we will try to reduce the impact of this matter and block related information. After all, if this matter gets out, it will be very bad for the image of our municipal party committee and government, and it will also greatly affect the provincial party committee leaders' views on our Xiquan team."

"Therefore, whether considering the overall development of Xiquan or simply considering the impact of this incident, we should resolve this matter quickly and decisively. We must control the impact of this incident within a certain range and prevent it from expanding further."

"So my opinion is to let the Public Security Bureau arrest the gunman as soon as possible and close the case as soon as possible." Liu Xiaoping took over Xie Zhiguo's words righteously.

After listening to Liu Xiaoping's words, Xie Zhiguo had a blank expression on his face. He turned to look at Qin Feng again: "What is your opinion? I still say that the Municipal Party Committee supports you unconditionally."

Xie Zhiguo's meaning was very clear. If you, Qin Feng, are unwilling to compromise, he, Xie Zhiguo, will support you unconditionally, even if it means becoming a complete enemy of Vice Governor Deng.

Qin Feng did not speak immediately. He lit another cigarette and smoked it. For Qin Feng, it was too difficult to make this decision. If he really wanted to vent his anger, it would cause great damage to the development of Xiquan as a whole. What would be lost would be the interests of the people of Xiquan as a whole. Qin Feng could not do this no matter what.
