official career

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Chen Guohua looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong with you now? If you want to talk, say it. If you don't want to talk, get out." Qin Feng scolded Chen Guohua with a smile.

"Mayor, I don't think you should take the initiative to take this responsibility."

"Which thing?"

"Making a fuss about the accident investigation is most likely a trap set for you by Jiang Longjun." Chen Guohua was firm.

"Tell me about it." Qin Feng smiled when he heard this.

"First of all, this matter actually has nothing to do with you." Chen Guohua said.

"This incident is indeed very serious. To put it bluntly, as the mayor, it would not be too much even if the higher-ups dismissed you. But you just came to Shazhou and haven't sorted out your work yet. No matter what, the responsibility this time cannot be placed on you."

"As the main leader, the responsibility does not lie with you, but with Jiang Longjun. So the one who should be anxious this time is not you, but Jiang Longjun." After Chen Guohua finished speaking, he looked at Qin Feng.

"Secondly, this is a very risky matter. This is a very big matter. Not only has it been uploaded to the Internet, but there are also many people who witnessed the incident at the scene. There are also many people in Ping'an County who know the whole story. Since the province has set up an investigation team, it means that the province is serious about its investigation."

"It's too risky for us to tamper with this matter at this time. Once discovered, the province will seriously investigate this matter, and you will be held responsible."

"The most important thing is, why didn't Jiang Longjun do this himself? He can arrange this matter himself much more effectively than you can, but he asked you to do it while he went to Xidu himself. If something really goes wrong and the province investigates this matter, he can completely clear himself of the matter."

"So, if things succeed, he gets the benefit, and you have nothing to do with it. If things fail, he will clear himself of all responsibility, and you will be responsible."

"Mayor, I think this is a trap set for you by Jiang Longjun. We can't jump into it." Chen Guohua said and looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng looked at Chen Guohua and once again looked at him with admiration in his heart. To be able to see through this requires not only rich political experience, but also a smart mind and keen political insight. Chen Guohua is a talent.

"It is certain that Jiang Longjun has some calculations in this matter, and he has his own little plans, but to say that it is a trap set for me is too much." Qin Feng shook his head slightly while smoking a cigarette.

"From a big picture perspective, this is not Jiang Longjun's personal matter, nor is it my personal matter. This is a matter for our entire Shazhou. Whether it's me or Jiang Longjun, we are a whole. We must face this together and work together to solve this problem. We should not be divided on this point."

"If you care so much about the big issues, you won't be able to accomplish anything. This approach is not advisable. Sometimes you have to take the initiative to suffer a loss."

"Of course, this is one of them."

"Secondly, Jiang Longjun is the secretary, and I am the deputy secretary and mayor. I have to obey the orders he issues. This is a principle. The municipal party committee sets the direction, and our municipal government implements it. There is nothing to say about this."

"Third, you're right. I just arrived, so I have some responsibilities, but the main responsibility cannot be placed on me. And I think that for such a big event, the province cannot just let the head of Pingnan County take charge of it. Someone in the city must be held responsible."

"The deputy mayor in charge of production safety, Jia Hailong, cannot escape blame. The executive deputy mayor, Shao Hongli, who has been in charge of the overall work of the municipal government, should bear the leadership responsibility. This is also certain."

"But neither of them is the main leader. I cannot take on the main leadership responsibility, so Jiang Longjun has to take it."

"But even so, even if Jiang Longjun finally took the main responsibility and I didn't get any benefit, in the eyes of the provincial party committee leaders, my responsibility is not only on paper, but also in their hearts, which still has a great impact on me."

"Of course, these are not the most important reasons. The most important reason why I do this is that I have no choice, even though I know that Jiang Longjun asked me to stand in front and take the risk for him." Qin Feng smiled helplessly when he said this.

"Why?" Chen Guohua didn't understand.

"If I want to gain a firm foothold in Shazhou and control the situation in the municipal government, I must have Jiang Longjun's support behind me. For now, without Jiang Longjun's support, it will be difficult for me to suppress Shao Hongli's momentum."

"There is no free lunch in the world. Although Jiang Longjun has the strategic need to support me in fighting against Shao Hongli, it does not mean that he will do so unconditionally. Sometimes I always need to give him something in exchange, or I have to do something for him."

Qin Feng had already said this much, how could Chen Guohua not understand?

"Actually, this matter is not that risky. Jiang Longjun has very strong resources in the province. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been thinking that he could be promoted directly to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee after working for two years. So as long as we can find a solution for him to the cause of the accident, coupled with his activities in the province, I believe this matter will be properly resolved in the end."

“Comrade Guohua, we should not think about how much risk we should take for Jiang Longjun, but how to minimize the impact of this incident on the development of our Shazhou and Pingnan County. At the same time, we should also deeply reflect on the painful experience of this incident.”

"Secondly, we should also think about it. I have done so many things for Jiang Longjun this time, and at the same time helped him to bear the risks in the front. What kind of compensation should Jiang Longjun give me after the matter is done?" Qin Feng said to Chen Guohua with a smile.

"You will have a hard time recently, so work hard and make more efforts. After this matter is over, Peng Zhen will leave." Qin Feng finally said to Chen Guohua.

There are numerous factions in Shazhou officialdom, and there are constant infighting among them. However, when dealing with the major production safety accident at the Pingnan County Chemical Plant, they were unusually united, and no one tried to make trouble.

In particular, Shao Hongli was very supportive of any work deployed by Qin Feng and implemented it thoroughly. It was because of the unity of everyone that the rescue work of this accident went smoothly and no bigger accident occurred.

After all, because of the rescue of this accident, the political forces of the entire sandbar are on the same boat. Because they have common interests, there are no conflicts or differences, and they can be united.

It was also from the handling and aftermath of this accident that Qin Feng once again confirmed a concept, that is, if a region wants to develop, it must first resolve the contradictions at the political level and must ensure that everyone is united in order to achieve smooth development.
