official career

"Set!" Qin Feng did not think about it, because he knew very well that Pang Yunfei could not change the punishment he had received, nor would he change it.

Qin Feng smoked a cigarette downstairs before going upstairs to Pang Yunfei's office. This was Qin Feng's second time in Pang Yunfei's office.

Qin Feng was still respectful to Pang Yunfei, but Pang Yunfei was still cold towards Qin Feng.

"Did you just come out from Secretary Yu?" Pang Yunfei asked.

"Yes, Secretary Yu interviewed me."

"You know the provincial government's decision on your punishment, right?"

"Secretary Yu told me." Qin Feng still nodded respectfully.

"What are you thinking?" Pang Yunfei asked Qin Feng.

"I have deeply realized my mistakes and fully accept the organization's disciplinary decision. I will seriously reflect on it after I return." Qin Feng said calmly.

Qin Feng knew that Pang Yunfei would not do anything for him, so there was no need for him to "open his heart" to Pang Yunfei.

"What's in your heart?" Pang Yunfei looked at Qin Feng.

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded.

"You still have emotions." Pang Yunfei concluded.

"Minister Pang thinks I shouldn't have emotions?" Qin Feng asked with a smile, without any excitement.

"Qin Feng, I have done my best in punishing you. This is a collective decision, especially Secretary Yu."

"I can't insist on this matter. You are the mayor and the incident happened during your tenure. Strictly speaking, there is no problem with punishing you, and it's not too serious to just give you a demerit," Pang Yunfei explained.

Pang Yunfei was right. According to the principle, Qin Feng had no problem with taking this punishment.

Qin Feng didn't want to argue with Pang Yunfei about this, as it didn't make much sense. He also didn't want to complain in front of Pang Yunfei, as it would only give Pang Yunfei a bad impression. After all, Pang Yunfei was his only support in Ganliang Province, even though he could feel that Pang Yunfei didn't care much about him.

"I know, so I admit it. I obey the organization's decision and accept the result." Qin Feng nodded.

Whether he is willing or not, he has to accept this result.

"It's good that you think this way, Qin Feng. I know you have emotions in your heart. I would have emotions too, but we can't be emotional. Some things we have to accept. You know, this is the best outcome for you."

"There are some things I can tell you directly. The province doesn't have a very good impression of you. You should be able to sense it during this period of time."

"Do you want to know why?" Pang Yunfei looked at Qin Feng and asked.

Qin Feng nodded.

"The bad impression some provincial leaders have of you has nothing to do with you personally. They are not dissatisfied with you, but with the decision made by the higher-ups."

"Comrade Qi Yaqiu was directly assigned here by the higher authorities, which already made the provincial government very unhappy. But after Comrade Qi Yaqiu got into trouble, the higher authorities sent you here, bypassing the provincial party committee's opinion."

"At that time, Vice Minister Hong and a certain leader of the provincial party committee had serious disagreements and conflicts over your appointment as mayor of Shazhou. Although Vice Minister Hong successfully sent you to Shazhou to take up the post, it also determined the provincial party committee's attitude towards you."

"There is a situation you may not know. If it weren't for my insistence, some leaders would have directly dismissed you this time. That's why I just told you that this result is already the best one." Pang Yunfei said slowly.

Qin Feng was very surprised. He didn't expect there were such reasons.

"Do you know now why I was not optimistic about your coming to Shazhou to take up the position from the beginning?" Pang Yunfei asked.

Qin Feng nodded. He had already offended the provincial party committee leaders before he even came to Shazhou, so one can imagine his situation when he came to Shazhou.

Pang Yunfei was not optimistic because Deputy Minister Hong had told him that he had to protect Qin Feng, which would definitely lead to conflicts with the main leaders of the provincial party committee. This was not a happy thing for Pang Yunfei, and it was also the reason why he was cold towards Qin Feng from the beginning, and he was unhappy.

"Minister Pang, I can't control how the provincial leaders view me, and I can't influence how I am punished. I just want to ask one thing, why am I the only one being punished? There is no Jiang Longjun, the municipal party secretary, and no Shao Hongli, the executive vice mayor who is actually in charge of the work." Qin Feng asked Pang Yunfei.

"You should be very clear about the answer." Pang Yunfei replied.

Pang Yunfei didn't say anything, but in fact he had already said it. Obviously, Qin Feng took all the blame this time, which was directly related to the operations of Jiang Longjun and Shao Hongli in the province, especially Jiang Longjun.

"Qin Feng, I have reported your punishment to Deputy Minister Hong. Deputy Minister Hong asked me to talk to you and do some ideological work on you. He told me to persuade you not to be upset, but to calm down, be down-to-earth, and lay a solid foundation. Your situation will get better and better in the future."

……

Pang Yunfei had no positive effect on Qin Feng's ideology. Instead, it made Qin Feng feel more desperate and confused besides his original feelings of grievance and unwillingness.

The situation on the sandbar was extremely complicated and he was in a very passive position. He did not have any support from the province, which made his situation even more difficult.

The problem now is that not only does he have no support in the province, but the main provincial party committee leaders even have a grudge against him.

Qin Feng had no idea how he would carry out his future work in Shazhou, how difficult his future situation would be, and he even didn't know what his final outcome would be.

For the first time in his life, Qin Feng had the idea of ​​backing out. He wanted to escape and leave the sandbar.

But he also knew that now that he was here, he couldn't run away.

"It seems like I'm really going to fail on the sandbar this time." Qin Feng sighed.

Qin Feng's mood was very low-key and also very complicated.

After coming out of Pang Yunfei's office, Qin Feng returned to the hotel. A few hours later, he arrived at the airport. Then, without letting Zhang Xinming follow him, he boarded the plane to Zhongjiang alone.

This was Qin Feng's first time going home. Although he was in a very low mood, he became very excited when he thought about seeing his wife and children soon.

Qin Feng spent the three hours on the plane in this complex and contradictory mood.

It was already night when the plane landed at Zhongjiang Airport.

As usual, Zhou Qian did not arrange a driver or bodyguard, and drove to the airport alone to pick up Qin Feng.

Zhou Qian didn't do anything special. She just stood at the arrival gate of the airport waiting, just like the ordinary people around her. No one would have thought that the woman in front of her was the richest woman on TV.

The couple, who had not seen each other for a long time, hugged each other deeply after meeting, and then Qin Feng drove Zhou Qian home.

Xie Fengmin and her daughter were waiting for Qin Feng at home, and the table was full of dishes.

The moment Qin Feng picked up his daughter, he suddenly felt that all the negative emotions in his heart disappeared instantly.
