Chapter 2310 The Last Chance

Qin Feng didn't stay in the office for long, even though he only arrived at the company in the afternoon.

Qin Feng slipped out of the office again in the afternoon and drove to a residential area in the city of Zhongjiang that looked quite old.

Qin Feng found a parking space downstairs of a unit in one of the buildings according to the address sent on his mobile phone and parked his car.

Qin Feng went upstairs to the fourth floor, confirmed the house number and knocked on the door.

The door opened and Hu Jiayun was standing at the door, wearing pajamas and wiping her hair with a towel in her hand.

Qin Feng walked into the house and took a look. The house was not big, but the decoration was still exquisite and warm, which was typical of Hu Jiayun's temperament.

"Everything is ready?" Qin Feng looked around and saw that the house was completely decorated.

"It's done. Didn't you see I already took a shower?"

"You didn't even ask me to help you move."

"You, a deputy department-level cadre, are asked to come and do the moving for me?" Hu Jiayun smiled and continued, "I asked the moving company to move the stuff. The last time I went back to Zhongjiang, I asked the moving company to move all the stuff here."

"I just moved in, and I had something urgent to do at work, so I was out again. I came back this morning, and called a housekeeping company to come and clean the whole house, and they just finished it."

"You sit for a while, I'm going to blow-dry my hair." After Hu Jiayun finished her introduction, she went to the bathroom to blow-dry her hair.

Hu Jiayun called Qin Feng earlier and told him that she had returned to Zhongjiang and moved to her old house.

This is the old house that Hu Jiayun bought many years ago. Later, she worked in Dongyang. When she returned to Zhongjiang to work, she and Hu Guangxiang lived in the provincial party committee’s staff quarters.

Since Hu Guangxiang was transferred, he naturally had to give up the house owned by the unit, so Hu Jiayun moved back to her old house.

Qin Feng looked around Hu Jiayun's old house, poured himself a glass of water and sat down on the sofa. Just as he lit a cigarette, Hu Jiayun came out after blow-drying her hair.

"I've been very busy recently and had a special mission, so I didn't answer most of your calls to me." Hu Jiayun said after sitting down.

"I understand. This past year has been very easy for me, but it has been a hardship for you. You should have finished your work by now, right?"

Hu Jiayun nodded: "It's basically done. The officialdom of Jiangnan Province has almost been completely cleansed this time."

"Yes, the list of cadres, big and small, who have been investigated and punished in the past year is almost enough to fill a book." Qin Feng joked.

"This time, the higher-ups are personally directing the purge of the entire Jiangnan provincial bureaucracy. The intensity of this effort is almost unprecedented. This shows how angry the higher-ups are this time." Hu Jiayun also sighed.

"Is my uncle's transfer related to the big problem in Jiangnan Province this time?" Qin Feng asked.

"I don't know. When I learned that he was going to be transferred, I called him to ask about this. I asked him if he was being held accountable for the many corruption cases that were uncovered in Jiangnan Province this time."

"What did uncle say?" Qin Feng asked after taking a puff of cigarette.

"He didn't answer me, and told me not to worry about these groundless things and to do my job well. You know his character, he wouldn't say anything to me that shouldn't be said." Hu Jiayun shook her head.

"Where was the uncle transferred to? Why is there no specific document yet?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"I don't know about that either. I don't know more than you do now." Hu Jiayun also showed a helpless bitter smile.

"I heard some information that Minister Zhao is also going to be transferred, is that right?" Hu Jiayun asked again.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Liu Changlin mentioned it to me last night when we had a drink together, but he wasn't sure either. He just heard some inside gossip."

"It should be true. Liu Changlin has been my father's secretary for so many years, and he has always worked in the core area. He wouldn't say anything unless he is absolutely sure."

"Well, my dad was suddenly transferred, and the one who was most affected was Liu Changlin. My dad had originally planned to find time to let him go down and exercise, but then this incident happened suddenly. Now his position in the municipal government is very awkward." Speaking of Liu Changlin, Hu Jiayun sighed again.

"Yes, Lao Liu was indeed unlucky this time. He talked a lot with me while drinking last night and got drunk in the end."

"Don't talk about him, what about you? What will you do? My father has been transferred. If Minister Zhao is also transferred, what will you do in the future? How did you get out of the Political Research Office?" Hu Jiayun asked anxiously.

"Hurry up and go find Minister Zhao. Before he's transferred, ask him to find a way to transfer you from the Policy Research Office. It would be best if he could transfer you to a city or prefecture."

"Your abilities are suitable for frontline positions. As long as you are in the frontline, even if there is no one above you, you will still be able to shine with your abilities, and you will still be appreciated by the new leader."

"If you are always kept in the Political Research Office, it will be difficult for you to perform well in this unit. If no one in the province pays attention to you, you may stay in the Political Research Office for the rest of your life." Hu Jiayun persuaded Qin Feng.

"Sister, your analysis is correct. I have always thought so before today. Over the past year, I have dreamed of being able to leave the Policy Research Office. It would be best if I could be assigned to a city or prefecture. I don't expect to join the team, but I would be willing to be just an ordinary deputy mayor."

"To be honest, the reason I stay here is not just because I feel there is not much future for development. The most important thing is that this is not the way I like to work. I am not a person who can sit idle."

"I can guess this even if you don't tell me. Don't I already know what kind of person you are?" Hu Jiayun nodded.

"But Zhou Qian said something to me today that completely changed my mind." Qin Feng lit another cigarette and recounted his conversation with Zhou Qian today.

"I now feel that working in the Policy Research Office is very good, very good. My wife and children are by my side, and our family is happy. I work from nine to five, without any pressure or risk. Is there any better job in the world than this?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Are you serious? I don't believe it. Qin Feng, you are definitely not someone who can stay at home." Hu Jiayun didn't believe it.

"It doesn't matter what I think in my heart. What matters is what Zhou Qian and Niu Niu think in their hearts."

"You know very well what I have experienced over the years. I owe Zhou Qian and Niuniu too much. I am not a good husband, let alone a good father, so I want to stay at home and not go anywhere in the future." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Hu Jiayun looked at Qin Feng quietly for a long time before asking, "Have you really made up your mind? You have to think it over carefully. If you don't go to Minister Zhao now, you may never have another chance in your life after Minister Zhao leaves."
