Chapter 1904: Just on the way

"Secretary, this matter is difficult to judge. If you hear it from the comrades in the Discipline Inspection Commission, they will definitely think that it is not true. However, the grassroots leaders will obviously think that the Discipline Inspection Commission has taken too many actions. After all, the comrades at the grassroots level dislike and fear the comrades in the Discipline Inspection Commission the most," Zhang Yuguang answered cleverly.

"Yes, you are right. If a hundred people ask this question, there will be a hundred answers. Everyone will answer this question based on their own interests, so it is difficult to have an objective answer."

"But more investigation will always give us a deeper understanding of this issue. Yuguang, you and Zhou Liang should privately talk to grassroots comrades about this issue in the next few days to understand the real situation, and then give me a definite answer." Qin Feng instructed Zhang Yuguang and Zhou Liang.

"Yes!"

Qin Feng, Zhang Yuguang and Zhou Liang walked to the Yian County Scenic Area. It was crowded and bustling here, but everything was in order. Qin Feng was very satisfied with this situation.

"It seems that the public security in Yian has improved a lot. What are your feelings?" Qin Feng asked as they walked.

"Recently, when I was having dinner and drinks with family and friends, everyone often brought up this issue. Everyone thinks that the public security in Yian is getting better and better. It has never been so good in history. Everyone says that Secretary, you are a truly good and capable official, and this is all thanks to you." Zhang Yuguang said.

"This is not my credit. Xie Jiankai is indeed a capable person." Qin Feng smiled.

Qin Feng and Zhang Yuguang walked along the scenic belt. Wang Jun had already parked the car beside the scenic belt and was waiting for Qin Feng. Zhang Yuguang and Zhou Liang saw Qin Feng off to the car. Qin Feng asked Wang Jun to drive the car to Xie Simin's dormitory.

Tian Huifen asked Qin Feng to bring something to Xie Simin and Xie Zhiguo, father and daughter, and he had to give it to Xie Simin.

Wang Jun was driving in the front while Qin Feng was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat.

When the car was about to reach the downstairs of Xie Simin's dormitory, Wang Jun suddenly pointed to the front and said to Qin Feng: "Uncle, is that Xie Simin?"

Qin Feng opened his eyes and looked forward, only to see a man and a woman walking slowly along the roadside. Although the street lights were dim, Qin Feng recognized them at a glance as Xie Simin and Lu Zian.

"Uncle, do you want to stop the car?" Wang Jun asked.

"No, don't bother others talking about love and the case. Drive the car to the downstairs of Xie Simin's dormitory and wait."

Wang Jun nodded, then stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped past Xie Simin and Wang Jun.

The car stopped downstairs of Xie Simin's dormitory. Qin Feng continued to doze off in the car. He was indeed very tired recently.

About ten minutes later, Wang Jun told Qin Feng that Xie Simin and Lu Zian were coming over.

Qin Feng turned around and saw Xie Simin and Lu Zian walking slowly under the street lights, chatting as they walked.

Looking at the current appearance of Xie Simin and Lu Zian, Qin Feng suddenly felt a little envious. The moonlight, poetry and distant places seemed to be very far away from him, and all that was left in his life now were trivialities.

Xie Simin and Lu Zian didn't even notice the car parked downstairs. After all, Qin Feng usually drove the county party committee's car, but today he drove his own car which he seldom drove.

When the two men walked to Qin Feng's car, Qin Feng suddenly opened the door and got out.

Xie Simin and Lu Zian were walking hand in hand when Qin Feng opened the car door, which attracted their attention. When they saw that it was Qin Feng who got out of the car, they were both scared and at a loss, especially Xie Simin, who quickly shook off Lu Zian's hand, took a step to the side in panic, and deliberately kept a distance from Lu Zian.

"Qin Feng..."

"Secretary Qin...Mayor..."

Both Xie Simin and Lu Zian were frightened and broke out in cold sweats. They looked at Qin Feng in horror. They were so nervous that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, just like students who were caught in a premature love affair at school by the teacher.

"Taking a walk?" Qin Feng asked the two of them with a smile.

"No...no...I just...just happened to meet you on the way..." Before Lu Zian could say anything, Xie Simin spoke first.

"Oh, on the way. Lu Zian, where are you going? Why is this road on the way?" Qin Feng asked Lu Zian with a smile.

This road leads to Xie Simin's dormitory. How could Lu Zian be on this road?

When Qin Feng asked this, Xie Simin was so shy that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"I...I...Mayor Qin, I...I was just doing some work in the county and I met Comrade Xie Simin on the way. I thought it was getting dark and it would be unsafe for her to come back alone, so I gave her a ride home." Lu Zian explained hurriedly.

Qin Feng naturally would not believe this explanation, because he saw with his own eyes that the two of them had already held hands.

"Why are you here? What do you want to talk to me about?" In order to avoid Qin Feng from asking further questions, Xie Simin took the initiative to ask Qin Feng.

"You go back first, I'll come up to find you later. I have something to discuss with Lu Zian now." Qin Feng said to Xie Simin.

"You're so mysterious. What are you talking about behind my back?" Xie Simin rolled her eyes at Qin Feng and went upstairs.

"Come sit in the car for a while, Wang Jun. You carry the things upstairs to Xie Simin first." Qin Feng got into the car again and said to Wang Jun.

Qin Feng got in the car, and Lu Zian also got in respectfully.

"Have you received the support funds for the honeysuckle project allocated by the city?" Qin Feng asked first.

"It was allocated a few days ago. I have to thank Mayor Qin for this. If it weren't for you, the city would not have approved this project and would not have given so much funding."

"Just call me Secretary in Yi'an County. I am talking to you today as the county party secretary."

This was the umpteenth time that Qin Feng had corrected the way Yi'an and other officials addressed him.

In official circles, people are very particular about titles. Generally, people are addressed according to their higher position. Qin Feng is the secretary of the Yian County Party Committee, but he is also the deputy mayor of Xiquan City. The position of deputy mayor is higher than that of the county party secretary, so since he became the deputy mayor, everyone's address for him has changed from Secretary Qin to Mayor Qin.

Of course, Qin Feng is the deputy mayor, but no one would be stupid enough to deliberately call him the deputy mayor, unless it is an official title.

Although this title is a common practice and there is nothing wrong with it, Qin Feng still likes to be called Secretary Qin, which sounds more pleasant to him. It may be because he still considers himself as the secretary of the Yian County Party Committee from the bottom of his heart, and the position of deputy mayor is just a part-time job in his eyes.

"How far has the honeysuckle project progressed now?" Qin Feng continued to ask.

"We have fully launched the honeysuckle project at the beginning of this year, mainly promoting it in the form of rural cooperatives. The enthusiasm of the people to participate on their own is very high, so it is now advancing very quickly. We don't need to do much mobilization work, and the people are all actively participating..."
