Chapter 2158 Perfunctory

"It turns out that Master Deng is here. Please take a seat!" Qin Feng said with a smile, and then said to Li Jianjun, "Go and pour Master Deng a cup of tea."

After saying this, Qin Feng slowly stood up and walked to the sofa and sat down.

Qin Feng never thought of offending Deng Xiaogang, but he would never try to please him too much like others did. At most, he would be indifferent to him.

"Mayor Qin, I came directly to your office without notifying you in advance. I hope I didn't disturb your work?" Deng Xiaogang asked Qin Feng while sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"What are you saying, Master Deng? I'm very happy that you can come to see me." Qin Feng still said with a fake smile. After Li Jianjun brought the tea over, Qin Feng asked Li Jianjun to go out first.

"Mayor Qin, I apologize for not being able to find a suitable opportunity to wish you a happy new year this Spring Festival." Deng Xiaogang said as he handed Qin Feng a cigarette and even bent down to light the cigarette for Qin Feng, which made Qin Feng a little flattered.

The arrogant and domineering character of Mr. Deng is no secret in the circle. No one expected that such an arrogant and domineering second-generation master would be so humble in front of Qin Feng today.

Qin Feng smiled in his heart. It seemed that Mr. Deng was indeed in trouble and urgently needed Qin Feng's help to sign and get the money as soon as possible.

"Mr. Deng, you are too polite! Mr. Deng is a busy man. You must have something to ask me today, right?" Qin Feng looked at his watch, pretended to be very busy, and asked straight to the point.

"Mayor Qin is busy with official duties, so I won't bother you any more. I'll just get straight to the point. Mayor Qin, the main reason I'm here to bother you today is about the Tai'an County poverty alleviation relocation project." Deng Xiaogang stopped pretending.

"Go on, what are the problems with this project?" Qin Feng pretended to listen carefully, but in fact both of them knew the answer well.

"It's like this, Mayor Qin. Our company previously submitted a report to the higher authorities requesting additional project expenses. It's been almost two months since we submitted this report. The leaders of the relevant departments have signed their approval, but we have not received the final reply."

"I was thinking that maybe due to the busy year-end schedule, Mayor Qin, you may not have had time to read this report, so I thought of coming here in person today to explain to Mayor Qin in person why we have to add this 15 million in expenses." Deng Xiaogang had obviously thought of these words before he came, or someone had thought of how to say them for him, otherwise, with Deng Xiaogang's personality, he would never say that.

It’s not that Deng Xiaogang is a fool and can’t say such things, but given his personality, he would never be willing to lower his status and speak in such a roundabout way.

Qin Feng nodded, sat on the sofa, smoking and drinking tea, listening to Deng Xiaogang explain in detail why the additional 15 million yuan was needed.

As for the additional charges, there are naturally many reasons to come up with, and they are all convincing reasons. In fact, for each project, you can find many reasons for the additional charges as long as you want. These are just excuses to go through the procedures. Who doesn't know how to make up reasons?

Qin Feng knew that Deng Xiaogang was making up stories, and Deng Xiaogang also knew that Qin Feng knew that all his reasons were made up, but Qin Feng could only pretend not to know. And Deng Xiaogang had to pretend not to know that Qin Feng was pretending not to know, and had to continue to seriously introduce the story to Qin Feng in detail, and Qin Feng had to listen and nod, pretending to listen carefully.

Deng Xiaogang spoke point by point for several minutes, explaining in detail why and why this additional expense was necessary.

"Okay, I haven't seen the report yet. Maybe there are too many things to do at the end of the year. I will ask them to take out the report and study it carefully. After the study, I will give my opinions as soon as possible." Qin Feng replied after Deng Xiaogang finished speaking.

Qin Feng's answer also showed great leadership skills. It seemed like he gave Deng Xiaogang a positive response, but in fact he did not give any response at all. It seemed like he said everything, but in fact he said nothing. It was all complete nonsense.

Deng Xiaogang was obviously dissatisfied with Qin Feng's answer. He naturally knew that Qin Feng's words meant that Qin Feng was not serious about this matter and most likely did not want to help him.

"Mayor Qin, please help us to implement this matter as soon as possible, because it affects the progress of the entire project. After all, the project is almost finished." Deng Xiaogang was very unhappy, but on the surface he could only be polite to Qin Feng.

"Don't worry. I may not give face to others, but I will definitely give face to you, Mr. Deng. I will let them get this report as soon as possible." Qin Feng once again said some high-sounding nonsense.

Qin Feng had already said so much, so Deng Xiaogang naturally had nothing to say further.

"Thank you very much, Mayor Qin. However, Mayor Qin, I have one more thing to trouble you with."

"Mr. Deng, you're welcome. Just say whatever you want to say."

"It's like this, Mayor Qin. Our first phase of the project has been completed long ago. According to the agreement, our project fee will be paid immediately after the acceptance. We had already passed the acceptance of various departments before the Chinese New Year last year, but we have not received the money so far." Deng Xiaogang was very smart and did not mention that it was Qin Feng's refusal to sign that caused the money to not be transferred.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Deng. It's the end of the year and there are too many things to do. In addition, various projects are all asking for money. It is inevitable that there will be some negligence in the approval. In addition, I have just taken up this position, and many procedures will be a bit confusing."

"I say the same thing again. I will find your approval report as soon as possible and implement this matter as soon as possible." Qin Feng said nonsense again. He did not say that he would approve it, but just said that he would find it and implement it.

Deng Xiaogang frowned again: "Mayor Qin, you must help me with this. You also know that the project is not easy to do. We have paid the workers' wages and material suppliers in advance. We are under great pressure. If we can't continue to get the project payment, the workers will definitely make trouble, and it will seriously affect the construction period..."

"Okay, I know your difficulties, and I will implement them as soon as possible." Qin Feng wrote another blank check.

Deng Xiaogang was very dissatisfied with Qin Feng's response. Qin Feng had already seen anger in Deng Xiaogang's eyes, but in the end Deng Xiaogang held back and did not get angry with Qin Feng on the spot. Instead, he politely shook hands with Qin Feng and left Qin Feng's office.

After Deng Xiaogang left, Qin Feng smiled and returned to his seat to work again. At this time, Li Jianjun knocked on the door and came in.

"I'm sorry, Mayor Qin, I didn't stop him." Li Jianjun admitted his mistake to Qin Feng.

"How could you stop him? No one in the entire city government dared to stop him. It's not your fault. Just go and do your own thing!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
