Chapter 2101 The Enemy Within

"It should be borne by me alone!" Qin Feng added.

"Today's democratic life meeting is mainly for us to conduct self-examination and reflection on the corruption case that occurred. I will be the first to do so."

"I bear the unshirkable leadership responsibility for this corruption case. I did not discover Cao Changsheng's problems in advance. Some comrades even warned me, but I did not take it seriously."

"I have failed to fulfill my duties and I apologize to the organization."

Qin Feng spoke very sincerely and seriously.

Whether it is the Standing Committee or the democratic life meeting, meeting minutes must be made, so Qin Feng’s self-criticism is not just a formality, it itself represents his attitude.

"I have also learned several lessons from this incident."

"First, anti-corruption is an ongoing process and must always be put first among all our work, and it must be comprehensive and without blind spots."

"Second, when dealing with work, principles should always come first, followed by personal feelings."

"Third, our team is not united in thought. Most of us are focused on leading the people of Yi'an forward, but a few comrades are only thinking about their own personal gains and losses, and they are trying their best to use some shameful means in secret."

"Even if doing so means that the hard work of everyone in Yi'an County for several years will go to waste, it's worth it."

While Qin Feng was saying this, he stared at Zhu Dongliang without blinking, and each word he used became more harsh than the last.

Zhu Dongliang just avoided Qin Feng's gaze at first, but after hearing Qin Feng's cold words, his face became very ugly, because he found that everyone in the conference room was looking at him.

Everyone sitting in this conference room is a smart guy. They must have a rough guess in their minds as to why the Cao Changsheng corruption case suddenly happened. Coupled with what Qin Feng said today while staring at Zhu Dongliang with a gun pointed at him, everyone understood everything.

“The most terrifying enemy does not come from outside, but from behind us, from within ourselves.”

Qin Feng looked at Zhu Dongliang coldly. After a few seconds, he turned his gaze away from Zhu Dongliang, looked elsewhere, and continued the meeting.

After the meeting, Qin Feng went straight downstairs and came to the door. Several cars were already parked at the door. Zhang Yugang followed Qin Feng and got into the car driven by Wang Jun. Later, Deng Yong and Propaganda Minister Peng Shenghui got into another car.

"The TV station and Xie Simin's new media center have arrived at the construction site of New Era Plaza. The project construction unit hung banners on site and organized 50 to 60 company employees to line up to welcome them. In addition, they also arranged a working meal at the project site."

After Qin Feng got in the car, Zhang Yugang began to report to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was going to inspect the construction site of Xiao Jianan's New Era Plaza project. The project finally resumed construction two days ago.

It was Xiao Jianan who invited Qin Feng to inspect the construction projects after the resumption of work. This time Qin Feng did not refuse, but directly arranged it for today, the day when the investigation results came out and Yian County lifted the investigation.

Xiao Jianan naturally had his own plans for wanting Qin Feng to inspect his project site. Wang Bingrong was arrested, and Cao Changsheng was also arrested. Although his project finally resumed production safely, everyone still believed that he was inextricably linked to the Cao Changsheng case.

At the same time, Cao Changsheng fell. For everyone in Yian County, this meant that Xiao Jianan's backer in Yian had fallen. In addition, people believed that he was involved in the Cao Changsheng case, so everyone would stay away from his project, and some people would even set up obstacles on the issues of his project.

Xiao Jianan asked Qin Feng to come and inspect the project in person at this time in order to tell everyone in Yian County that the real backer behind him is Qin Feng. He wanted everyone to see clearly the strength behind him, Xiao Jianan.

Qin Feng naturally understood what Xiao Jianan meant. New Era Plaza was a key project in Yian and had great significance. His inspection could provide help for the project construction and Qin Feng was naturally happy to do so.

In addition, Qin Feng also had his own purposes in choosing to inspect the project.

The provincial party committee inspection team conducted an investigation on Yian for nearly a month. It has also been more than 20 days since Cao Changsheng's crime was exposed. During these 20 days, various rumors have spread throughout Yian County, and they have spread more and more widely. There are all kinds of versions, and in short, none of them are good.

It was because of the spread of these rumors that, firstly, the entire Yian County was in panic, and secondly, it caused great damage to the credibility of the Yian County Party Committee and County Government.

Qin Feng needed to take the opportunity of inspecting the New Era Plaza project to show the outside world his image of inspection in a high-profile manner and send several signals through this inspection. First, Qin Feng was fine and had come out to inspect the work normally. Second, the Yi'an County Party Committee and County Government were also fine.

Doing so will help quell the rumors and calm the somewhat panicked hearts of Yian’s cadres.

Of course, Qin Feng also has a third point, which is to clarify the importance of the New Era Plaza project.

There is also a fourth point that cannot be mentioned. Qin Feng agreed to Xiao Jianan's request because Xiao Jianan had already arranged all the preparations for taking Hong Yue to Sichuan to find the "old immortal" for treatment.

Since Qin Feng hopes to send these signals to the outside world through this inspection, this inspection must be high-profile and widely disseminated. That is why Qin Feng asked Zhang Yuguang to arrange for the TV station and Xie Simin's new media center to go to the scene to film and promote the event. This is completely contrary to Qin Feng's previous low-key and pragmatic image.

Just as the convoy was on the way to the New Era Plaza project, Zhang Yuguang's cell phone rang.

"Secretary Dongliang... yes, yes, the secretary is by my side, all right..." Zhang Yugang covered his phone and asked Qin Feng in a low voice: "Secretary, Secretary Dongliang wants to report to you on his work?"

Zhu Dongliang is very smart. He knows that Zhang Yuguang and Qin Feng are sitting in a car now. If he calls Zhang Yuguang at this time, Qin Feng will have to answer the phone.

Qin Feng reached out and took the phone from Zhang Yugang: "I'm Qin Feng, what's the matter?"

"Secretary, I would like to report my work to you in person." Zhu Dongliang said respectfully.

"I'm busy these few days. I'm going to inspect the New Era Plaza project now, and then I'll go to the city to meet with Secretary Duan of the Municipal Party Committee. After meeting with Secretary Duan, I'll go to meet Secretary Xie in the evening. Tomorrow morning I'll leave for the province to meet with Minister Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee. If you have any important work, please tell me on the phone now. If not, let's talk about it after I come back from Zhongjiang." Qin Feng hung up the phone directly after he finished speaking, and handed the phone to Zhang Yuguang.
