Chapter 2313 Transfer is inevitable

Everyone thought that Hu Guangxiang was suddenly transferred because he had to take responsibility for the huge political turmoil in Jiangnan Province. Qin Feng also thought so, but what he heard from Zhao Hongjian did not seem to be the case.

"Wasn't the governor transferred away because of the huge political turmoil in Jiangnan Province?" Qin Feng asked.

"I just said, yes and no." Zhao Hongjian kept the question a secret again, and then said, "Governor Hu was indeed transferred because of the political turmoil that lasted for a year, but not because he had to take responsibility."

"It's clear what's going on in Jiangnan Province and who's right and who's wrong in this political turmoil in Jiangnan Province. Otherwise, why was Governor Hu transferred away only after the whole thing was over? And he was only transferred away? The other governors were not treated the same way. Can't you see who is responsible for the mistake made by Jiangnan Province?"

Qin Feng thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

"Of course, from a disciplinary point of view, Governor Hu must bear leadership responsibility for this political turmoil. Not only Governor Hu, but our entire Jiangnan provincial leadership team must bear responsibility."

"But the higher-ups can't just look at the problem superficially. In fact, the fact that we were able to rectify Jiangnan Province so thoroughly this time was not only due to the will of the higher-ups, but also because of the iron-fisted measures we took on our own part in Jiangnan Province. Governor Hu deserves credit for this, and it can be seen from above."

"That is to say, the governor not only did not make any mistakes but instead made some contributions? Then why should Governor Hu be transferred away? Shouldn't he naturally take over the position of top leader?" The more Qin Feng listened, the more confused he became.

"You still don't understand what I said. I just said that first of all, the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee is definitely responsible. In the absence of the top leader, Governor Hu, the second-in-command, is the first person responsible. No matter what the specific situation is, Governor Hu's leadership responsibility is certain, so he can't be credited, and it's impossible for him to move up."

Qin Feng nodded. Such a big thing happened in Jiangnan Province this time. If Hu Guangxiang was promoted, it would be hard to convince the public.

"Secondly, Governor Hu's transfer has no direct relationship with whether he has made merit or fault this time." Zhao Hongjian said again, but Qin Feng thought about this sentence over and over again, but he couldn't understand it.

"What? Don't you understand?" Looking at Qin Feng's expression, Zhao Hongjian smiled and then asked Qin Feng: "Have you heard the news that I will be transferred too?"

"I've heard of it. Over the past year, rumors like this with no source have been flying around, and there are all kinds of versions." Qin Feng said quickly.

Previously, he thought that the news coming from Liu Changlin must be true, but judging from Zhao Hongjian's expression and the attitude when chatting with him today, Zhao Hongjian showed no signs of being transferred, so Qin Feng concluded that Liu Changlin's news must be wrong.

"This news is accurate." said Zhao Hongjian.

"Ah? Are you saying you're really going to be transferred?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed, but it may take another month or two," said Zhao Hongjian.

"Where are you being transferred to?" Qin Feng asked.

"It doesn't matter where you're transferred to. You'll know when the transfer order comes down." Zhao Hongjian smiled. He was not keeping the secret this time, but because of the confidentiality discipline.

Qin Feng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Have you found the problem? Why was Governor Hu transferred and I have to be transferred too?" Zhao Hongjian asked.

Qin Feng didn't think much about this question, but when Zhao Hongjian suddenly asked him this, Qin Feng indeed found this question a bit strange.

The political turmoil in Jiangnan Province this time was quite serious. Several people in the province have been imprisoned. Now that several people have been imprisoned, not only Hu Guangxiang has been transferred, but Zhao Hongjian has also been transferred. This means that almost the entire Jiangnan Province team has been replaced.

Qin Feng immediately understood what the above meant.

This political turmoil cleansed up the entire Jiangnan Province officialdom, at least all the dirty tricks at the top of the provincial party committee were cleansed out.

But it was also because of this purge that all those who stood on the opposite side of Hu Guangxiang and Zhao Hongjian were purged, and there was no one in the entire Jiangnan Province who could say no to Hu Guangxiang.

From the above perspective, this is very dangerous, so transferring Hu Guangxiang and Zhao Hongjian away from Jiangnan Province is an inevitable result.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng suddenly became enlightened and nodded to Zhao Hongjian.

"Tell me what you think!" Zhao Hongjian leaned back in his seat, flipping through the newspaper he took when he boarded the plane and chatting with Qin Feng casually.

However, Qin Feng knew that a big shot of Zhao Hongjian's level would never say a word of nonsense, so he naturally had his reasons for asking Qin Feng about his thoughts.

"Brother, what ideas are you referring to?" Qin Feng asked knowingly.

"Governor Hu and I are both gone. What do you think about future development?" Zhao Hongjian made it clear.

"I... will obey the organization's arrangements." Qin Feng played a trick.

"You sound a little reluctant when you say this." Zhao Hongjian also laughed.

"Actually, it's pretty good to just work in the Policy Research Office. It's relaxing and comfortable, and I can stay with my family." Qin Feng's answer was somewhat against his will.

"Originally, we planned to have you serve in Qinglin City after this crisis was completely over. You could choose between the two positions of executive vice mayor and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. This was Governor Hu's opinion, and I think it's appropriate. After all, your abilities and strengths lie in frontline work, not policy research."

"It's just that the transfer of Governor Hu came too suddenly this time. We didn't expect it to happen so soon. According to the original estimate, it should have been about half a year or a year after the end, after all, the situation needs to be stabilized, but this time it came too quickly and caught us off guard. Governor Hu was transferred away before I even put your matter on the agenda."

"As soon as Governor Hu leaves, I have confirmed that I will be transferred as well. Before the transfer, I can find a way to promote you suddenly and transfer you from the Political Research Office to Qinglin City. However, considering your long-term development, this is not a good idea. After all, Governor Hu and I are no longer in Jiangnan Province." Zhao Hongjian said calmly.

Qin Feng nodded, he understood the logic behind this.

Zhao Hongjian suddenly promoted Qin Feng before leaving. With Zhao Hongjian's power, there would definitely not be too many problems. However, the problem was that Zhao Hongjian was about to be transferred. Doing so would offend the new leaders of Jiangnan Province to some extent, and would also label him as Zhao Hongjian. When Zhao Hongjian left, which leader would like to use a cadre with someone else's label?

This is also the reason why Zhao Hongjian said it would be detrimental to Qin Feng’s development in the long run.
