official career

Qin Feng stared at Zhou Qian with wide eyes: "Can you confirm the authenticity of this news?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. You should have met Zhang Youwei, right?" Zhou Qian asked.

"Of course I know Vice Governor Zhang."

"He is the person I invited to dinner today. After we drank some wine, he mentioned this matter to me in private. Someone at his level would not talk nonsense, let alone something like this." Zhou Qian said to Qin Feng while wiping her body.

Looking at Zhou Qian's graceful body, Qin Feng had no desire at all. On the one hand, they were an old couple, and being together every day would cause some physical excitement and fatigue. On the other hand, Qin Feng's mind was not on these things at all at the moment.

Deng Qiuping is Vice Governor Deng. Although that incident had already happened, and on the surface it seemed that Deng Qiuping's arrest had nothing to do with Qin Feng, Qin Feng, who had rich political experience, immediately realized that Deng Qiuping's being taken away by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was closely related to his affairs.

"What's wrong? Is this matter directly related to your problem?" Zhou Qian asked after seeing Qin Feng's expression.

"It's hard to say now." Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

"I also realized that this matter might be related to yours, so I specifically asked him a few more questions about the cause and effect of this matter, but he just laughed it off and didn't want to elaborate."

"Do you remember the last time Niu Niu was kidnapped?" Qin Feng stood up from the bathtub, leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette and asked Zhou Qian.

"Is it related to Deng Qiuping?"

"The one who kidnapped Niuniu is Deng Qiuping's son."

"Is it him? No wonder he is so unscrupulous and lawless. Was it him who caused Niu Niu's kidnapping and your frame-up this time?" Zhou Qian asked.

"You underestimate a vice governor. Would a vice governor do such a sneaky thing? It certainly wasn't Deng Qiuping who did it."

"But if you insist on blaming all of this on Deng Qiuping, it's actually not wrong. Just like the last time Niu Niu was kidnapped, although it wasn't Deng Qiuping who kidnapped Niu Niu, Deng Qiuping had to protect his son, so judging from the result, you can also put the blame on Deng Qiuping."

"It has been found out that Liu Xiaoping was the one who framed me this time. However, Liu Xiaoping and Deng Qiuping have a special relationship. Deng Qiuping should bear some of the responsibility for this." Qin Feng said while smoking, but he did not say it too clearly or in depth. After all, Zhou Qian was not from this circle, and this was just a private chat between the couple.

Although Zhou Qian was not a member of the officialdom, she was no stranger to politics. After a moment of thought, she asked Qin Feng, "So, does the arrest of Deng Qiuping mean that the province is undergoing a major reshuffle, and that the governor has gained the upper hand?"

Qin Feng looked at Zhou Qian in surprise. He didn't expect Zhou Qian to be able to see things so clearly. You know, it would be impossible to understand this without more than ten years of political experience, but Zhou Qian actually did it.

"It is indeed possible, but these are just speculations. However, no matter what, there must be turmoil within the top leadership of Jiangnan Province." Qin Feng said.

"If the governor wins in the end, will your case be resolved?" Zhou Qian asked.

"My release actually means that the governor has already won, it just depends on how much he wins. In fact, no matter what the final outcome of the provincial game is, my case will definitely be resolved. After all, I have been declared innocent and the evidence has been laid out, so my vindication is a foregone conclusion."

"The outcome of this provincial game will not affect my rehabilitation, but it will determine the extent of my rehabilitation, how I will be characterized, and where I will go next..." Qin Feng said while smoking.

Zhou Qian seemed to understand what was said, then looked at Qin Feng: "Is it almost time?"

"I don't know. I'm going to Minister Zhao's house these two days to wish Mr. Zhao a happy new year." Qin Feng said after thinking for a while.

Before, he took into consideration the sensitivity of his current identity, so he neither went to pay New Year's greetings to Hu Guangxiang nor visited Zhao Hongjian's home.

But the situation is different now. No matter what, Qin Feng must find out some information, otherwise he will be too passive.

"Actually, I really hope that the province will not make new arrangements for you, so that you can stay at home with us mother and daughter all the time. But I know that you are a man, and an eagle-like man. Your abilities and ambitions determine that your world is in the vast sky outside." Zhou Qian looked at Qin Feng with a smile.

Qin Feng was deeply touched. He walked over, sat beside the bathtub, held Zhou Qian's hand, and said nothing.

Zhou Qian understands Qin Feng.

Qin Feng has been staying at home during this period, looking like he is enjoying this quiet and beautiful life, but his heart is full of resentment. Deep down in his heart, he has been longing for the province's new arrangements for him.

Power is addictive; once you get addicted, you can never quit.

Qin Feng did not go directly to Zhao Hongjian's house. There were some things that Qin Feng was not comfortable with and did not dare to ask Zhao Hongjian directly. Even if he asked without knowing the rules, Zhao Hongjian would never tell him.

The next day, Qin Feng made an appointment with Hu Jiayun to have lunch. Hu Jiayun was not free, so she agreed to have dinner with Qin Feng. However, when it was time for dinner, Hu Jiayun called again and said that she had something to do and could not come over for the time being.

Hu Jiayun was so busy during the Chinese New Year, which further confirmed Qin Feng's guess. In the end, Qin Feng invited Hu Jiayun to have a midnight snack.

In order to wait for Hu Jiayun, Qin Feng sat alone at a street night snack stall drinking beer. He waited from around nine o'clock in the evening until almost eleven o'clock when Hu Jiayun finally came hurriedly. When Hu Jiayun came, Qin Feng had already drunk five bottles of beer by himself.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I haven't finished dealing with the things over there, and a lot of things have suddenly come up. I have to finish them before I can leave." Hu Jiayun said after sitting down.

Hu Jiayun did not tell Qin Feng what she was busy with. This was the discipline of their work.

"I understand. When I first started working, I envied you the most. You are so awesome and you can investigate anyone you want. Aren't there rumors among the people? They say you are the modern Jinyiwei and you are half a level higher than the officials."

"Later, when I got to know you better, I realized how difficult your work is, and it is not as glorious as it seems. Secretary Luo Yi of Xiquan once said to me that few people who have been working in discipline inspection for more than ten years are healthy, because of long-term overtime, staying up late, not eating on time, smoking excessively due to stress, etc." Qin Feng chatted while handing the bowl and chopsticks to Hu Jiayun.

Originally, he had not planned to invite Hu Jiayun to eat at this kind of street stall, but because Hu Jiayun's arrival time was uncertain, and no other stores were open late at night, Qin Feng chose a street snack stall.

Of course, the main reason is that Qin Feng is a little greedy for this. Over the years, he has been promoted to higher and higher positions, and has been further and further away from the lives of ordinary people.
