Chapter 2336: Sandbar with Strong Winds
He Guohua looked at Qin Feng in surprise again. He really couldn't understand the purpose of the new mayor asking him these questions.
Although the conflict between He Guohua and Peng Zhen has a long history, Peng Zhen is his superior. Before He Guohua is sure of Qin Feng's attitude, he dare not openly speak ill of Peng Zhen in front of Qin Feng.
"Secretary-General Peng has been engaged in work in party and government organs for a long time. He has strong theoretical knowledge, a high position, broad thinking, a practical style, rigor and meticulousness, strong principles and discipline. He is a leading cadre with very comprehensive qualities." He Guohua said in a serious tone.
After listening, Qin Feng smiled and said nothing more.
……
Qin Feng stood in front of the window of the Ganliang Provincial Party Committee Organization Department office, looking at the gray sky outside. In the northwest in March, the air was still bitingly cold, which was completely different from the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. He subconsciously tightened his suit jacket.
"Mayor Qin, Minister Pang, please come in."
Qin Feng turned around and saw a young comrade standing at the door. He nodded and followed the young man through the long corridor.
On the walls on both sides of the corridor were hung photos of all the former leaders of the Gansu-Liang Provincial Party Committee. The serious faces seemed to be looking at him, an outsider.
The door of the office was pushed open, and Qin Feng saw a tall man with his back to the door, arranging the bookshelf. Hearing the noise, the man turned around, revealing a sharp face, about fifty years old, with eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Minister Pang." Qin Feng took a step forward and bowed slightly.
Pang Yunfei did not respond immediately, but looked him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
Qin Feng felt a little uneasy because of Pang Yunfei's serious attitude towards him. Generally speaking, the organization would show care and encouragement to comrades who arrived for the first time, but Pang Yunfei's attitude seemed a little unreasonable.
Just when Qin Feng was feeling nervous, Pang Yunfei suddenly smiled.
"Sit down." Pang Yunfei finally spoke.
Qin Feng sat down on the sofa in the reception room.
"Are you used to moving from Jiangnan to Ganliang?" Pang Yunfei sat down opposite Qin Feng.
"It's okay, it's just that the climate is a little dry." Qin Feng straightened his back and maintained a decent smile.
“Is the diet acceptable?”
"The taste is quite different, but it can be overcome once you get used to it." Qin Feng said with a smile.
"How much do you know about the situation in Shazhou City?" After the greetings, Pang Yunfei began the formal conversation.
This question was not easy to answer from Qin Feng's perspective. If he said he knew everything, it would give Pang Yunfei the impression that he was not modest and was arrogant, but if he said he knew too little, it would seem that he was not well prepared and did not take the job seriously.
"I did some research before coming here, but after all, these are just some official introductions on paper, so I can't say I know a lot. I still need to learn more." Qin Feng answered carefully.
"Your attitude is correct, Qin Feng. Shazhou is a very complicated place. No matter what you do, you must think twice before you act. Don't do anything extreme before you thoroughly understand its actual situation. You must be cautious." Pang Yunfei said to Qin Feng seriously.
Qin Feng heard the hidden meaning in Pang Yunfei's words and understood Pang Yunfei's warning to him.
"I will." Qin Feng nodded.
"Deputy Minister Hong called me personally and told us in Ganliang Province to train you, take care of you, and protect you. A 35-year-old mayor is very outstanding, but the pressure is not small."
"Thank you for your trust, I will definitely..."
"Organizational trust is one thing." Pang Yunfei interrupted him, "Whether you can do the job is another."
Qin Feng was somewhat surprised by Pang Yunfei's words.
"You should have heard about the former mayor of Shazhou, Comrade Qi Yaqiu, right?" Pang Yunfei asked indifferently.
Qin Feng nodded: "I heard about it."
"So the work on the sandbar is not easy. You have to be mentally prepared for this." Pang Yunfei said meaningfully again.
"Please rest assured, no matter what, I will take root deeply in Shazhou and do my job well." Qin Feng stated solemnly.
Pang Yunfei stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Okay, I'm glad you have this intention." He walked back to his desk and said, "Go and report tomorrow. Remember, Shazhou is not Jiangnan. Here..." He said meaningfully, "The wind and sand are strong, and it's easy to get blinded."
……
Qin Feng felt particularly heavy-hearted when he came out of Pang Yunfei's office. The conversation between him and Pang Yunfei today was particularly strange.
Pang Yunfei had hidden meanings in his words throughout the whole process. He had been warning and reminding Qin Feng to be cautious and not to act rashly after arriving at the sandbar. In particular, he mentioned Qi Yaqiu, but nothing else happened.
Secondly, Qin Feng did not feel how much enthusiasm and care Pang Yunfei had for him. Logically, since Deputy Minister Hong called him personally, he would have taken extra care of Qin Feng no matter what. But in fact, the conversation between Pang Yunfei and Qin Feng lasted less than ten minutes, and there was no in-depth communication. Qin Feng could feel that Pang Yunfei was deliberately keeping a distance from Qin Feng.
Why is this happening?
Qin Feng didn't know, but he understood one thing. When he was in Beijing, Deputy Minister Hong told him that if he encountered any problems, he could go to Pang Yunfei. But now it seems that Pang Yunfei probably won't care much about his affairs.
In other words, Qin Feng's visit to Ganliang and Shazhou this time was truly solo and alone.
When Zhao Hongjian sent him to Yian, Hu Guangxiang personally called Xia Junhua home and told Xia Junhua in person to protect Qin Feng. Qin Feng was able to take power in Yian smoothly, overcome difficulties, and squeeze out Yuan Shaojun, all thanks to Xia Junhua's support.
Now he has come to the sandbar where the situation is even more complicated and serious, but there is no one he can rely on in the entire Ganliang Province.
The little bit of confidence Qin Feng had left in his heart disappeared completely after talking with Pang Yunfei. This time when he came to Ganliang Province, Qin Feng had only one feeling, that is, he was completely unwelcome.
He Guohua didn't expect Qin Feng to come down so soon. He was sitting in the car with his legs crossed, watching videos on his phone. He didn't notice Qin Feng until he walked to the side of the car. He quickly turned off his phone and got out of the car.
"mayor!"
"Let's go back to the hotel first. What time is the appointment in the evening?" Qin Feng asked.
"Six o'clock."
"Then we'll be there at 6:30. Arrange your schedule and tell them that I was delayed." Qin Feng said and got in the car.
Qin Feng naturally had his reasons for deliberately being half an hour late.
Yang Zhijie specially ran all the way from Shazhou to Xidu to see him. In addition to showing his respect for him, he must have also come to test Qin Feng's background.
Qi Yaqiu was also a cadre sent by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. The reason why Qi Yaqiu died on the sandbar must be because Qi Yaqiu knew something or blocked their way to wealth.
And now the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee has sent another Qin Feng down. These people will definitely think that Qin Feng is most likely the same kind of person as Qi Yaqiu and is here to target them.
So it was inevitable that Yang Zhijie came to find out Qin Feng's background.
