official career

Qin Feng said this to Meng Dan, but actually he was talking to Xiao Jianan.

Meng Dan smiled and raised his glass with both hands to clink glasses with Qin Feng. He turned his head to Xiao Jianan and said, "I told you that your trick of pretending to be deaf and dumb won't work on Mayor Qin. Mayor Qin is such a big shot, how could he not see through your little trick!"

"It seems that I really showed off my skills in front of Guan Gong today. Yes, the Yanggang New Village project did let people know about it, but I am not very clear about the details, and... to be honest, I don't really think it through." Xiao Jianan said to Qin Feng with a smile.

His words were a direct way of telling Qin Feng that he didn't want to touch this project.

As soon as Qin Feng mentioned the Yanggang New Village project, Xiao Jianan naturally knew that Qin Feng invited him to dinner today just to let him take over the Yanggang New Village project.

"What? Is my meal so worthless?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Qin Feng, it's not that I don't give you this face, but this project..." Xiao Jianan looked embarrassed.

"Tell me, why are you unwilling to take over this project?" Qin Feng personally handed Xiao Jianan a cigarette.

"Then I won't waste time and I'll just ask you directly, is this project easy to do?" Xiao Jianan asked Qin Feng.

"It's not easy to do. The construction period is very tight. There are a lot of problems that need to be reworked on the project, which is far more troublesome than direct construction. There are also problems left over from before. If you want to take over this project, not only is the construction period very tight and the construction difficult, but you also have to deal with some troublesome matters at any time." Qin Feng said it very bluntly.

"Does it make money?" Xiao Jianan asked again.

"It's not profitable, or it's difficult to make money. If things go wrong, there may even be a loss." Qin Feng told the truth again. This project has been ruined by Deng Xiaogang. Although the municipal government now plans to add another 20 million yuan to the budget, it is just enough and there is no profit margin at all.

"There is another problem. Let's not talk about the remaining troubles of this project. It is said that this project was previously done by Vice Governor Deng's son, but this time he was forcibly driven away by you. Now no one dares to take over this project for fear of being involved in the conflict between you and Vice Governor Deng. Who dares to do business when they want to offend a vice governor by doing a project?" Xiao Jianan said with a smile.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Although it's nonsense, I understand why you would think so."

"Yes, Qin Feng, you already know what this project is about. Do you think I can take it?" Xiao Jianan said.

"I've eaten the meal and drank the wine. My meal can't be eaten in vain, and my wine can't be drunk in vain." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Are you forcing me to buy this? Do I have to accept it?" Xiao Jianan asked.

"Of course, I have to answer it." Qin Feng nodded.

"Then how many problems can you solve for me?" Xiao Jianan asked.

"In terms of funding, the city government will add another 20 million to the remaining project funds. This is what I can strive for and it is also the limit of the city's finances."

"As for the remaining issues, Tai'an County will be responsible for handling them. You don't need to worry about it. Tai'an County will be responsible for resolving this matter."

"As for the construction period, I have discussed it with several city leaders and will give you an extra month. It will take four months, and you must complete it in four months."

"As for your fear of offending Vice Governor Deng by taking on this project, that's up to you." Qin Feng said with a smile at the end.

"You can drive away Vice Governor Deng's son, so why should I be afraid of Vice Governor Deng? I'm a businessman, who should I be afraid of? What's more, don't I have you to back me up?" Xiao Jianan said with a smile.

"Then it's settled. You should enter as soon as possible. Time is very tight." Qin Feng said.

During the entire process, Xiao Jianan did not make any requests to Qin Feng, even though he knew that this was a thankless project.

Others may think that Xiao Jianan is very stupid, but in fact, this is also exactly where Xiao Jianan is smart.

After Qin Feng clinked glasses with Xiao Jianan again, the matter was finally settled.

Once this matter was done, Qin Feng's work in Tai'an County was completely completed.

Over the past two months, Qin Feng not only cleaned up all the corrupt officials in Tai'an County, but also replaced all the officials in the entire county and reorganized a new Tai'an County.

Of course, although Qin Feng’s work focus during this period is in Tai’an County, Qin Feng’s work is not limited to Tai’an County.

For Qin Feng, his main job is still the poverty alleviation work of the entire Xiquan City. In fact, the poverty alleviation work of the entire Xiquan City has been advancing, but the progress is not fast. The reason is still the physical problem. The criticisms existing in the entire Xiquan officialdom will not change just because of the replacement of Qin Feng as an executive vice mayor.

Qin Feng was able to discover this problem, but that doesn’t mean he has the method or ability to solve it.

After finishing his work in Tai'an County, Qin Feng finally found time to inspect several key poverty alleviation projects promoted in Xiquan City over the past two days.

The entire Xiquan poverty alleviation work has been progressing slowly, which is one of the reasons why Qin Feng is exhausted.

After finishing almost all the matters at hand, Qin Feng once again asked the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for half a month's marriage leave. Last time, he had planned to remarry Zhou Qian, but in the end he was delayed because of the chain of events involving Deng Xiaogang kidnapping his daughter.

This busy work lasted for more than two months. After finally finishing all the things, Qin Feng discussed the matter with Zhou Qian again and planned to take this opportunity to remarry.

But God seemed determined not to let Qin Feng and Zhou Qian remarry easily.

Qin Feng had already asked for leave and decided to leave Xiquan and return to Zhongjiang that afternoon. But that morning, when Qin Feng was sitting in the office finishing the last bit of work on hand, Li Jianjun knocked on the door hurriedly, his voice a little hurried.

"What happened?" Qin Feng was a little unhappy.

Li Jianjun quickly opened the door and walked in, saying nervously, "Mayor Qin, there is someone at the entrance of the government building...someone has set himself on fire."

Qin Feng raised his head and looked at Li Jianjun woodenly after hearing this: "What did you say? Self-immolation? Which self-immolation?"

It’s not that Qin Feng didn’t hear clearly what Li Jianjun said, but he couldn’t believe that he heard the word "self-immolation".

"Someone at the door poured gasoline all over himself and set himself on fire, burning himself to death," Li Jianjun explained in detail.

Hearing this, Qin Feng stood up in horror and looked at Li Jianjun in disbelief: "You...are you telling the truth?"

"It's true. I... saw it with my own eyes. It was being spread in the work group. I didn't believe it, so I ran out to take a look. It was so... horrifying... so shocking. His whole body was on fire, and he was burning himself up, right in front of the government gate..." Li Jianjun introduced.

After Li Jianjun finished speaking, Qin Feng suddenly fell down on the chair and was speechless for a long time.
