Chapter 2089: Jianghu Atmosphere

Qin Feng sat down on the sofa obediently.

"Just came out of the provincial party committee inspection team?" Xie Zhiguo asked immediately.

"Yes, I was questioned there for two hours."

"You didn't call me before the interview, which shows that you are still clear-headed and have not lost your composure. I have to commend you for this." Xie Zhiguo's tone softened a little.

"I want to hear what you think now." Xie Zhiguo looked at Qin Feng and said.

"First, there is indeed a problem in Yian, and it is a big problem. Cao Changsheng has lost himself. It is my responsibility. I did not discover it in advance, or I trusted my comrades too much and did not expect that there would be such a serious problem." Qin Feng thought seriously and said.

"Have you realized that there is something wrong with Cao Changsheng?"

"I noticed before that Cao Changsheng was too close to the boss of this company, and I also noticed that a large number of Yi'an's engineering projects were contracted by this company. For this reason, I reminded Cao Changsheng, and at the same time, a few months ago I also asked the Yi'an Discipline Inspection Commission to conduct an inspection of all Yi'an's projects."

"During this process, Cao Changsheng and deputy secretary Zhu Dongliang had a fierce conflict over this matter. Now it seems that the matter was not that simple at the time, but the Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation did not find any problems in the end."

"After the news that I was going to be transferred from Yi'an County spread, Deputy Secretary Zhu Dongliang came to talk to me about Cao Changsheng, saying that Cao Changsheng was too close to Wang Bingrong and that there must be something wrong with Cao Changsheng. He also said that Cao Changsheng was not suitable to take over the position of county party secretary."

"I criticized Comrade Zhu Dongliang at the time because Yi'an's development had just started and stability was paramount, especially at this moment of power transfer and the upcoming provincial party committee inspection team."

"After Zhu Dongliang talked to me about this issue, I talked to Cao Changsheng again and told him about these things and asked him to explain them to me. Cao Changsheng clearly told me that although Wang Bingrong had contracted a large number of government projects, all the bidding processes were legal and compliant, and there were absolutely no problems."

"Because the situation during this period was quite special, I chose to believe Cao Changsheng's words and did not immediately pay attention and take the initiative to solve the problem."

"I am primarily responsible for the current situation. I did not discover the problem in advance, I was obsessed with stable development, and I trusted my comrades too much, which led to me losing my sight." Qin Feng said this sincerely. He could not shirk his responsibility in any way.

"Go on!" Xie Zhiguo did not comment.

"Second, this matter is not simple. I and Yi'an County have responsibilities and problems. This is an objective fact. I cannot blame others, but there must be external forces pushing us. Perhaps this is a top-down linkage. There are also people in Yi'an who want to take the opportunity to muddy the waters and gain political benefits for themselves."

"Third, the one who got into trouble was Cao Changsheng, but Cao Changsheng was just a breakthrough point. Their main target is me, and this incident was directed at me." Qin Feng told Xie Zhiguo his thoughts truthfully.

"Regardless of whether there is someone behind this matter who is deliberately pushing it, the most critical and direct reason is that there is something wrong with you Yi'an. If there is nothing wrong with you, how can he push it?"

"Qin Feng, as the county party secretary of Yian, you can't shirk your responsibility for such a serious incident in Yian. You must bear the consequences of this incident. No one can help you this time." Xie Zhiguo said very sternly.

"I know." Qin Feng nodded.

"The problem has already occurred. We can talk about accountability later. Tell me now, how big is the problem at Yi'an? According to what the inspection team informed me, they believe that there is systemic corruption at Yi'an. You know how serious the characterization of systemic corruption is, and you should also understand what it means to you if the characterization of systemic corruption is really given."

"That's the first point. The second point is that they believe you are also suspected of serious corruption. That's why I had to wait until you had finished answering the questions from the inspection team before calling you over." Xie Zhiguo continued to ask.

"Secretary Xie, I can assure you here that there is a high probability that Cao Changsheng has problems, and there must be problems in the construction field. But I can assure you that these problems are only individual and local problems. There is absolutely no possibility of systemic corruption in Yi'an."

"Secondly, I have absolutely no problem. I can let them investigate." Qin Feng answered very affirmatively.

"What happened to Yian this time is indeed serious, but it will never get out of control. I have confidence in this." Qin Feng added.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Xie Zhiguo's expression eased a little.

"I'm sorry, because of my negligence, I have completely disrupted your plans." Qin Feng said sincerely.

When something like this happened in Yian at this time, Qin Feng was confident that he would never be involved, and that there would be no systemic corruption problems in Yian. But no matter what, he could not escape his leadership responsibility. Although he would not necessarily be punished, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee at this critical juncture.

Allowing Qin Feng to join the team is a very important part of Xie Zhiguo's overall plan, and now, it is obvious that Xie Zhiguo's layout will be completely disrupted.

What happened in Yian this time, after all, was still a game between Xie Zhiguo and Liu Xiaoping.

Xie Zhiguo transferred Wang Jiahao away, cutting off Liu Xiaoping's most important hand, so Liu Xiaoping naturally took action against Qin Feng.

"Since you see all the problems clearly, I won't say much. Don't think too much now. Just stay in Yi'an for the time being. First, cooperate with the inspection team, and second, ensure the stability and development of Yi'an. The rest can be discussed after the inspection team leaves."

Qin Feng nodded again.

"Qin Feng, every failure makes you wiser. Going through this incident may not be a bad thing for you. As a leader, especially the top leader, organizational principles should always come first, and rationality should always come before emotion. You need to curb that chivalrous aura of loyalty and brotherhood in you." Xie Zhiguo said finally.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement. This time, Xie Zhiguo pointed out Qin Feng's problem directly.

The reason why Cao Changsheng's matter has fermented to this point today is that Qin Feng trusted Cao Changsheng too much and did not want to or have the heart to intervene in Cao Changsheng in a heavy-handed manner.

Qin Feng believed Cao Changsheng, but Cao Changsheng did not tell the truth to Qin Feng. In this matter, it can be said that Qin Feng was betrayed by Cao Changsheng and also by Zhu Dongliang.

After Xie Zhiguo finished speaking, Qin Feng felt deeply guilty and began to reflect deeply.
