official career

Tao Yun served as the mayor's secretary. As the new mayor and the new secretary, not to mention the leaders below who wanted to curry favor with the new mayor, just according to the unwritten rules, all municipal departments and districts and counties had to "pay tribute" to Tao Yun as usual.

Although this matter is illegal and against discipline, everyone tacitly accepts it in reality and no one will make a fuss about it. This is obviously the reason why Tao Yun is not very shy about these things and was photographed.

Not to mention Tao Yun, when Qin Feng was Zhou Qiming's secretary, he accepted gifts that took up half of the room.

Qin Feng took a few photos, looked at them for a few seconds, and then put the photos and the letter down. Qin Feng knew what was in the letter without even reading it.

It goes without saying that this photo and this letter were made by someone arranged by Chen Guohua.

"Tao Yun..." Qin Feng shouted directly outside.

Tao Yun heard Qin Feng's voice and ran in quickly: "Mayor!"

"Call the Secretary-General and ask him to come to my place immediately."

"Okay." Tao Yun didn't know what was going on, so he ran out and called Peng Zhen.

Peng Zhen arrived very quickly. After Peng Zhen walked into Qin Feng's office, Tao Yun hurried in to pour tea for Peng Zhen.

"Get out, you have nothing to do here." Qin Feng said directly to Tao Yun who was about to make tea for Peng Zhen.

Qin Feng has always been polite to others, including Tao Yun, and he has almost never said any harsh words to him. It is because Qin Feng is so easy to talk to that Tao Yun does not take Qin Feng seriously.

Tao Yun looked at Peng Zhen somewhat at a loss. After Peng Zhen nodded to Tao Yun, Tao Yun walked out of the office dejectedly and closed the door.

For Tao Yun, Peng Zhen is his real leader, not Qin Feng.

Peng Zhen glanced coldly at Chen Guohua who was sitting there, then turned to Qin Feng and asked, "Mayor, what do you want me to do?"

"Take a look at this." Qin Feng threw the envelope on the table directly to Peng Zhen.

Peng Zhen frowned slightly. He had the same feeling as Tao Yun. Because Qin Feng had always been polite to him, he was very dissatisfied with Qin Feng's sudden "strength".

Peng Zhen opened the envelope and began to look at it. Like Qin Feng, he first looked at the two photos. He looked up at Qin Feng in surprise, then turned to look at Chen Guohua.

Sitting in Qin Feng's position, he couldn't see the look in Peng Zhen's eyes when he looked at Chen Guohua, but Qin Feng could guess it.

Chen Guohua sat there, allowing Peng Zhen to look at him fiercely, as if nothing had happened.

Peng Zhen retracted his gaze, took out the anonymous letter of complaint and continued reading it.

After reading it, Peng Zhen put the letter on the table and asked Qin Feng: "Mayor, where did this letter come from?"

Qin Feng was smoking a cigarette and ignored what Peng Zhen said.

Chen Guohua is a smart man. He knows that Qin Feng is clearly trying to push him to the point of a life-and-death fight with Peng Zhen today. He must hand in this token of allegiance today.

"This letter was sent to me early this morning. I couldn't make up my mind, and the matter was serious, so I took it and handed it to the mayor." Chen Guohua took over Peng Zhen's words.

"Send it to you? Humph." Peng Zhen sneered.

You have to report it, or file a petition, or go to the Discipline Inspection Commission. Generally, who will hand it over to the responsible leader? Chen Guohua's statement is obviously an excuse.

However, Chen Guohua was Tao Yun's supervisor. If someone really sent an anonymous letter of complaint, Chen Guohua would have to take care of it. He had the power to do so. So although Peng Zhen knew what was going on, he could not say anything on the surface.

"Mayor, I don't think this letter is reliable. I think someone did this on purpose to embarrass you and me." Peng Zhen said while gritting his teeth, looking at Chen Guohua again.

"Secretary-General, it doesn't matter whether someone is deliberately embarrassing you and me. What matters is whether the content above is true." Qin Feng said the first sentence.

"I think this is pure revenge and a complete fabrication. Mayor, I think you don't need to pay any attention to it." Peng Zhen directly characterized the letter.

Qin Feng is here, and it should be Qin Feng who has the final say on how to characterize the matter. It is a taboo for Peng Zhen to characterize the matter without going through Qin Feng. This shows that he totally ignores his leader. It stands to reason that an old hand like Peng Zhen would not make such a low-level mistake. This only shows that Peng Zhen does not take Qin Feng, the "cowardly" mayor, seriously from the bottom of his heart.

"Since the secretary-general believes that this is completely fabricated, I suggest that we follow the rules and hand over this letter of complaint to the Discipline Inspection Commission, which will keep it for investigation," said Chen Guohua.

"Chen Guohua, what do you mean?" Peng was furious.

"Why does the Secretary-General ask this? I am following the regulations on handling letters and visits and reports. When we receive reporting clues, we are required to transfer them to the disciplinary inspection unit according to regulations. Is there any problem with this?" Chen Guohua asked in return.

"Chen Guohua, Tao Yun is the mayor's secretary, and I personally selected him. Are you sending this false report to the Discipline Inspection Commission to embarrass the mayor or to humiliate me?" Peng Zhen stared at Chen Guohua coldly.

"Comrade Chen Guohua, I remind you that you are a party member and cadre. You must understand what it means to be politically conscious and what it means to obey the overall situation." Peng Zhen knocked on the table.

"Secretary-General, let me remind you that as a party member and cadre, you must understand what principles and disciplines are." Chen Guohua refused to give in.

"Chen Guohua..." Peng Zhen's eyes widened. The conflict between him and Chen Guohua was long-standing. There had been constant friction between the two since Qi Yaqiu was the mayor.

However, although the friction between the two has been going on for a long time, Chen Guohua has always been courteous to Peng Zhen and has never directly confronted Peng Zhen so bitterly or slammed the table. Today is the first time.

"Let's stick to the facts. I asked you two to come here to discuss how to solve this problem, not to have an argument. If you want to quarrel, you two should go out first and come back in after you're done." Qin Feng said coldly.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Peng Zhen and Chen Guohua both shut their mouths and dared not speak again.

"You two should tell us what to do. Secretary General, you speak first." Qin Feng said slowly while smoking a cigarette.

"Mayor, first of all, I'm not sure whether the contents of this letter are true or false. Let's just assume that it is true for now."

"First, I don't think this reflects any big problems. The mayor has just taken office, and Tao Yun has just taken over as your secretary. There has always been a bad rule in Shazhou. All the units and district and county governments below will show some respect. The purpose is to get closer to you, the mayor, to facilitate future work. The purpose is also for work."

"Of course, this kind of unhealthy trend is extremely wrong, but it is not feasible to stop it in a short time or in a certain place, so I think Tao Yun's behavior is understandable." Peng Zhen began to analyze, and Qin Feng had to admire Peng Zhen's eloquence and logical ability.
