Wang Yanjin was really irritated by Feng Sizhe's words. After he sat down and slowly recovered, he remembered that this Deputy County Magistrate Feng was not his target at all. He should go to Chang Ning to argue. Didn't Mayor Chang just talk about Minister Li, Mayor Sun and himself? He should be his target. As long as Chang Ning's arrogance is suppressed, will Feng Sizhe still be a problem? Without a backer, a deputy director dared to challenge the deputy director. Minister Wang would never believe it.

After sitting down and taking a few deep breaths, Wang Yanjin stood up again. He wanted to launch an attack on Chang Ning and let him know that a mayor who couldn't even stand firmly on his feet had no power to fire at the three standing committee members of the municipal party committee. He would inevitably fail if he did so.

Wang Yanjin stood up and returned to the center of the field again. Chang Ning also came back after finishing his phone call.

As soon as he saw Chang Ning coming over, Wang Yanjin opened fire directly, "Mayor Chang, when you were on the phone just now, Dahu County Executive Deputy County Mayor Feng Sizhe was very disrespectful to his superiors and his tone was aggressive. This kind of leader who doesn't know how to respect his superiors is really not a good cadre. For this reason, I doubt his position as deputy county mayor. I will submit an application to the Municipal Party Committee to investigate his qualifications as deputy county mayor. I wonder what Mayor Chang's attitude is?"

Wang Yanjin had a good idea. He would use Feng Sizhe to test Chang Ning first. If Chang Ning wanted to cover up for him, he would be exposed. On the contrary, if he ignored County Magistrate Feng, many people would be disappointed. If he couldn't even protect a deputy director, who would dare to be on the same side with him?

Chang Ning was busy answering the phone just now and did not pay attention to what happened between Feng Sizhe and Wang Yanjin. Now that he returned to the scene and listened to such questions, and saw curious expressions on the faces of Li Lianxue and Sun Zhongping, he guessed that something must have happened that made Wang Yanjin very angry while he was away.

When Wang Yanjin asked this question, Li Lianxue and Sun Zhongping sat down and listened attentively. As far as they were concerned, no matter whether they were loyal to Feng Sizhe or not, at least they did not like the aggressive way County Magistrate Feng questioned Minister Wang. In fact, this is understandable. Which leader would like his subordinates to go against him? In the Republic of the Mean, the first bird to stick out gets shot. In the officialdom, personal heroism is even more opposed. Even if you are right, you cannot really do something to your superiors just because you are right. Otherwise, you will always be abandoned by everyone. And the performance of County Magistrate Feng just now was indeed a little too brilliant, or too much. Even if Wang Yanjin was wrong in a thousand ways, it should not be said by you, the deputy county magistrate.

As for Wang Yanjin's questioning Chang Ning about Feng Sizhe, Li Lianxue and Sun Zhongping also stared at him. They really wanted to see if the newly arrived mayor was really tough. It seemed that he should form an alliance with Feng Sizhe, but when facing major problems, could he keep his bottom line and regard his allies as friendly forces? Although if someone really wanted to do something to Feng Sizhe, Sun Zhongping would not stand idly by and would stand up and say a few fair words, but now Wang Yanjin was questioning Chang Ning, not him, and he was happy to be a bystander.

Looking at the looks of the people, Chang Ning guessed that Minister Wang must have said something to anger Feng Sizhe, which made him say something that made him lose face. He wanted to kill Feng Sizhe with a borrowed knife, and wanted to punish Feng Sizhe with his own hands. Humph, they counted the cards very loudly, but things would not develop as they imagined, especially Wang Yanjin, who could hardly save himself, and wanted to blame others?

Chang Ning sneered in his heart, but he still spoke in a businesslike manner, "Well, if Deputy County Chief Feng really said something he shouldn't have said to his superiors just now, then I would criticize him. But now I want to ask Minister Wang, you are holding a grudge because you were not invited into the processing plant by Pengfei Company, and then you ordered Secretary Sun Shicun to order Pengfei to close down. What are you thinking in your heart? You know, if it weren't for you, what happened today wouldn't have happened, and Pengfei Company would not have withdrawn its investment. For this, you must give an explanation first."

Chang Ning did not ask Feng Sizhe's question, but just brushed it off with one sentence, and then pointed the finger at Minister Wang, which made Wang Yanjin very unhappy.

I thought to myself, "You are just a new mayor who has no power yet. What qualifications do you have to question me?" Of course, this was just what I thought, and I couldn't say it out loud. "Well, I will report to Secretary Cai and Secretary Qiu about what Mayor Chang said. Now I want to talk about Feng..."

"Comrade Wang Yanjin, please don't interrupt. Please answer the question I just asked." Chang Ning's face changed and he interrupted Wang Yanjin who was about to blame Feng Sizhe. He looked straight at him, as if he wanted him to give an explanation.

Chang Ning's attitude suddenly became unusually firm, which made Wang Yanjin stunned. To be honest, facing the mayor's momentum, he was still a little scared in his heart. But when he saw Li Lianxue, Sun Zhongping, Sun Shicun, Yang Chao, Qi Hengsan and others standing beside him, he still heaved a long sigh of relief, "Don't be afraid, there are so many people here, Chang Ning dare not do anything to me, and as long as I return to the Municipal Party Committee, with Secretary Qiu speaking for me, what can Chang Ning do to me?

Wang Yanjin took a deep breath and encouraged himself. Then he looked Chang Ning in the eye and replied, "Mayor Chang, I just said that I will go back to the Municipal Party Committee and explain clearly what happened today. I can even hold a Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting. I have made a promise in front of Minister Li and Deputy Mayor Sun. Now I want to talk about Feng Sizhe..."

"I've told you not to interrupt. Let's explain today's events in front of everyone." Chang Ning did not give in at all because of Wang Yanjin's concession. Even though Minister Wang had already taken a step back and spoken, and had promised to explain today's events clearly when he returned to the city, Chang Ning still refused to give in.

This resolute attitude instantly aroused Wang Yanjin's anger. "Mayor Chang, what do you mean? I just said that I will go back to the Municipal Party Committee to explain what happened today. Why do you keep asking? I can also tell you that some things are easier to explain when I go back to the Municipal Party Committee, but some things are harder to explain now. I think as the head of a city and a cadre trained by the Party for so many years, you should also understand what I mean."

Li Lianxue and Sun Zhongping agreed with Wang Yanjin's answer. It is true that some things are just as he said. It is easy to say them in front of the municipal party committee, but it is really difficult to say them in front of so many people. Many unpleasant things are finally discussed secretly in high-level meetings and cannot be known to more people. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the cadres? Exposing all the shortcomings of the cadres in front of the people is not conducive to their leadership work.

Li Lianxue and Sun Zhongping were supportive of Minister Wang's answer. They couldn't understand why Chang Ning would keep on asking this question. Was it to protect Feng Sizhe? If so, the price would be too high, because if this matter was reported to the Municipal Party Committee or the Provincial Party Committee, he would lose points. For this reason, the two of them also looked at Chang Ning, wanting to see what the mayor was up to.

In fact, not only them, but everyone present looked at Chang Ning, wanting to see what the mayor would do next in the face of Wang Yanjin's refusal to answer. If he just left it like that, naturally the mayor's authority would suffer a great blow.

Of course, there was another person in the field who looked relaxed and contented, not nervous or worried at all. He was undoubtedly our County Mayor Xiao Feng.

"Haha, haha." Chang Ning sneered a few times after hearing Wang Yanjin's words, and then said slowly, "I'll tell you the truth, Minister Wang, it's not that I want you to explain, but Governor Deng of the Provincial Party Committee just called and asked you to give them an explanation in front of the people of Pengfei Company. Do you understand now?"

"Ah?" Wang Yanjin was stunned when Chang Ning mentioned the name of the provincial party committee and governor Deng. "You, you are talking about... Deng..."

"Yes, it was Comrade Deng Wanzhi, the Executive Vice Governor of Zhongzhou Province. He called me just now. Governor Deng instructed that Pengfei Head Office is a private enterprise that has made great contributions to the country. We must fully protect these enterprises. The fact that Pengfei's subsidiary can settle down in Yongyang Dahu County is an encouragement and recognition for our Zhongzhou Province. We must do our utmost to ensure the normal operation of this company. Any individual who wants to create conflicts for the development of Pengfei Company must be treated seriously as a political incident."

After finishing these words slowly, Chang Ning asked Wang Yanjin with a smile, "The above are Governor Deng's original words. Now, Minister Wang, do you have anything else to say? Do you think we should wait until we get back to the Municipal Party Committee to resolve this matter? Of course, if you personally think it is necessary to do so, I won't make it difficult for you. I will convey your personal opinion to Governor Deng's original words." Looking at Wang Yanjin, Chang Ning shook his head and picked up the mobile phone to make a call.

"No... Mayor Chang, please wait a moment, let me think about it." Wang Yanjin heard that this matter had been reported to Governor Deng, and his mind was blank at the moment. Normally, such a small matter would not be reported to the provincial party committee leaders. Not to mention that Pengfei Company only invested 2 million in Dahu County, even if it was 20 million, it would not attract the attention of the executive vice governor. But now the higher-ups do know about it, what does this mean? It means that Pengfei Head Office has a very strong background, and they can easily let a member of the provincial party committee speak for them. Such a company is something that they cannot afford to offend.
