Chapter 2304 Return to Xiquan

The Policy Research Office is actually an advisory team for the provincial party committee leaders, providing advice for the provincial party committee’s decision-making.

Conducting research in various places is an important task of the Policy Research Office and also its most basic task.

Qin Feng was in charge of the research on the province's poverty alleviation policies, so it was natural for him to take his team to Xiquan City as the first stop after taking office. After all, Xiquan was the "Shangganling" of the entire Jiangnan Province's poverty alleviation work.

Of course, Qin Feng also had his own selfish reasons for choosing to go to Xiquan. It had been a whole year since he was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission. He really wanted to go back and see what Xiquan City was like now.

Qin Feng treated this trip to Xiquan for research as a major project, so the entire Policy Research Office also attached great importance to it. After all, poverty alleviation is the most important strategy for Jiangnan Province today. In addition, Qin Feng is the deputy director, so the Policy Research Office formed a research team to follow Qin Feng to Xiquan, and the Coaster was full.

On the way from Zhongjiang to Xiquan, Qin Feng talked and laughed with these "new colleagues". Because it was a "second-line" unit, the relationship between them was not as "tense" as that in other first-line units, including the lack of deep rifts between leaders and subordinates. Just like at this moment, a car full of people sat there joking and chatting, having a great time.

Since Qin Feng started working in the Policy Research Office, he feels that he has become much more relaxed, which is completely different from the feeling when he was working before.

In the past, Qin Feng did not have an accurate concept of going to work and getting off work. His cell phone was on 24 hours a day. Whenever the phone rang, he would become tense, fearing that something might have happened again.

The pressure is huge, but I still have to stay awake thinking about how to do my job well and how to make people's lives better.

The workload is also very heavy. There are endless meetings, people to meet, things to deal with, social engagements to postpone, and human relationships to deal with all the time.

But after coming here, all of this is gone, no pressure, no social engagements, no intrigue. For Qin Feng, this is like another world.

It is relaxing now, but Qin Feng is still deeply unwilling in his heart. This kind of nine-to-five life with no pressure and getting off work on time is not the life that Qin Feng wants.

But no matter how unwilling he was, Qin Feng knew that he could not change it, so he could only accept it.

Although the Policy Research Office can only be regarded as a "second-line" unit, it is also a de facto agency directly under the Provincial Party Committee. Although it has no real power, it is an advisory group to the leaders and still has a very large influence on policy making. Therefore, the leaders of the Policy Research Office will generally pay more attention to it.

The research team set out in the morning and arrived in Xiquan at around 1:00 p.m. The motorcade drove directly into the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee. After a year, I returned to Xiquan and the familiar Xiquan Municipal Party Committee, but my mood has changed dramatically. I used to come here to go home, but now I am just a guest, on a business trip.

Qin Feng got off the Coaster, and Tang Yun, the secretary general of the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee, and his staff personally received him at the car.

"Director Qin, thank you for your hard work!" Tang Yun smiled and shook hands with Qin Feng.

"The Secretary General is still so charming and stunning..." The two old friends held hands together.

"Welcome back to my parents' home." Tang Yun said something meaningful.

"Thank you!" Qin Feng patted Tang Yun's arm.

Afterwards, Tang Yun shook hands and greeted several other leaders of the research team and led them to the office cafeteria for dinner.

Because it was past dinner time, the cafeteria was empty and two tables were set up in the small restaurant.

Because it was a working lunch, there were strict regulations. I didn't drink any alcohol and just had a simple meal.

After dinner, Tang Yun personally arranged for the research team to stay at the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse not far from the Municipal Party Committee, and Tang Yun went straight into Qin Feng's room.

The room arranged for Qin Feng this time was a suite, which was beyond the treatment that Qin Feng deserved at his level. Obviously, this was specially arranged by Tang Yun.

"I've suffered." Tang Yun sighed after sitting down.

Among the members of the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee, Qin Feng and Tang Yun have the closest relationship.

"Let's not talk about the past." Qin Feng handed Tang Yun a cigarette.

Qin Feng and Tang Yun chatted for a long time. After all, they were old friends and colleagues, and they had a lot of topics to talk about.

They kept chatting until it was time for work and Tang Yun left. After Tang Yun left, Qin Feng also had to start working.

The entire research team has its own division of labor and tasks. As the leader, Qin Feng's job arrangement is to hold talks with Pan Lian, the executive vice mayor of Xiquan City.

Pan Lian is the well-known academic "expert" mayor who succeeded Qin Feng, and is also another capable subordinate of Zhao Hongjian.

Qin Feng came to investigate the experience and current situation of Xiquan's poverty alleviation, and Pan Lian took over Qin Feng's work in its entirety, which included poverty alleviation work. He is now the operator of Xiquan's poverty alleviation.

Deep down, Qin Feng didn't want to have too much communication with Pan Lian. You could say he was narrow-minded or jealous, these were all normal emotions for a person, but Qin Feng had to communicate and talk with him.

Qin Feng's car drove to the municipal government. The secretary general of the municipal government and the director of the municipal office were standing there with a number of people waiting for Qin Feng.

The previous secretary general of the municipal government, Cao Guanlin, had already been imprisoned. The current secretary general and director of the municipal office were both newly appointed after the Liu Xiaoping incident, but they were also promoted from within the municipal government and are old acquaintances of Qin Feng.

The Secretary-General personally opened the car door for Qin Feng. After Qin Feng got out of the car, the Secretary-General held Qin Feng's hands with both hands, calling him "old leader" all the time and welcoming him back to guide the work.

Everyone is not stupid. The fact that Qin Feng was able to get out and return to work at the provincial party committee is enough to show his strong political background. If it was not Qin Feng who was framed this time, but someone else who did not have such a strong background, do you think the higher-ups would make a big show of redress in the end?

The people below are all smart people. Although these things happened in the province, everyone below saw them clearly. No one knows what position Qin Feng will be in a year or two, so everyone respects Qin Feng very much.

They were all old colleagues, and he came to Xiquan only to investigate work, not to inspect. He was not qualified for this in his current position, so Qin Feng greeted the other party very politely, and then was welcomed to the reception room of the municipal government.

When Qin Feng walked to the door of the reception room, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a suit and glasses, who looked gentle and refined, sitting there looking at his mobile phone.

This man was none other than Pan Lian, the executive vice mayor of Xiquan City. This was also the first time that Qin Feng met another prominent figure in the officialdom of Jiangnan Province besides himself.
