Chapter 2349 A Different Mayor

Qin Feng walked around the lounge while smoking, then came out of the lounge. Tao Yun, who was following behind him, hurriedly helped to close the hidden door of the bookshelf.

"The Secretary-General is thoughtful. That's great. I'm very satisfied." Qin Feng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke to Peng Zhen.

Seeing that Qin Feng had been silent and his face looked unhappy, Peng Zhen felt very nervous. He was afraid that Qin Feng would stand him up again like he did last time in Xidu, and then he would be in trouble.

So after Qin Feng expressed his satisfaction, Peng Zhen's heart was relieved.

"This is what I should do." Peng Zhen said quickly.

"Secretary-General, Director Chen, please sit down. Xiao Tao, right? Go find some tea leaves and pour a cup of tea for the two leaders." Qin Feng sat down on the leather boss chair and gave the instructions.

Although Tao Yun looks older than Qin Feng, Qin Feng has no problem calling him Xiao Tao, and no one would think it is inappropriate.

"Tao Yun, go to my office and bring the box of Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain to my office so that the mayor can taste it." Peng Zhen called Tao Yun and said to Qin Feng with a smile, "Because we don't know what kind of tea you like, we haven't had time to prepare tea for you yet."

"It's nothing special, just follow the arrangements."

"Mayor, do you have any instructions regarding the work arrangements for the next few days?" Peng Zhen asked Qin Feng.

Peng Zhen sat on the chair in front of Qin Feng's desk. Since there was only one chair, Chen Guohua could only stand obediently beside him.

"What are the Secretary-General's arrangements?" Qin Feng asked calmly.

"According to some unwritten conventions in the past, the mayor needs to visit old comrades and cadres in the next few days, attend a CPPCC exchange meeting, inspect the shantytown renovation and visit poor households and nursing homes, etc. These activities are all arranged for media follow-up filming and reporting. The mayor's schedule may be full and he will be quite busy these days." Peng Zhen introduced them one by one.

Qin Feng was not surprised by Peng Zhen's arrangements. These were indeed the norm for a new mayor to take office. The most important thing was the media's follow-up filming and reporting, the purpose of which was to increase the new mayor's exposure to the public and publicize his glorious image.

"Forget about the media. These activities will be arranged later when the time is right. During this time, you only need to arrange three things for me."

"First, compile all the economic data of Shazhou over the years and give it to me. Remember, I want detailed data. This is my first stage of work."

"The second phase of work is to listen to work reports. You need to arrange this reasonably. From each deputy mayor to the heads of each department and the heads of each county and district, no one can be left out. I will listen to their work reports one by one in person and let them be prepared."

"The third phase of work is inspection and research. I must personally visit several districts and counties in Shazhou, and I must also conduct on-site research on all key enterprises and projects."

"All other work will be done after I complete these three stages." Qin Feng directly overturned Peng Zhen's arrangement.

Peng Zhen's eyes widened, and he asked Qin Feng: "Mayor, if we wait until all three phases of work are completed before arranging other tasks, then...it may take you a month to complete all three tasks."

"That's just a month or so. As for the rest of the city government's work, hasn't it always been in charge of Mayor Hongli? He was in charge when I wasn't here, so all the work for this month will still be handed over to him, just as if I haven't officially taken office yet." Qin Feng answered readily.

Qin Feng's answer surprised Peng Zhen again. After taking office, other mayors only thought about how to get all the power back into their own hands as soon as possible. However, Qin Feng not only did not think about taking back the power, but also took the initiative to continue to delegate the power.

Peng Zhen reported some things to Qin Feng and asked Qin Feng for his opinions on some related work of the municipal government. Qin Feng immediately said that it would be fine for Peng Zhen to make the arrangements himself and he had no objection.

"Mayor, there is one more thing. General Manager Yang is hosting a banquet to welcome you at the Triumph Building tonight. I wonder if the mayor is free?" Peng Zhen learned his lesson this time and took the initiative to ask Qin Feng's opinion instead of making arrangements for Qin Feng directly like he did last time.

After listening to this, Qin Feng held a cigarette in his mouth and tapped his hands on the table.

"Please thank Mr. Yang for his kindness and tell him that I am new here and need to be careful about all aspects of influence. I am not here to stay for a few days and then leave. There is a long way to go and we will have many opportunities to meet in the future." Qin Feng refused again and continued, "If Mr. Yang invites me again, please set the time after I complete these three stages of work. Before these three stages of work are completed, I will not meet anyone outside the system and do not arrange any non-work activities for me."

Peng Zhen was stunned again. It was the first time he had seen such a mayor. Other mayors were eager to appear on TV every day after taking office and were eager to get to work as soon as possible, but Mayor Qin Feng did nothing after taking office. So what was the difference between him being the mayor and not being the mayor?

At ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Feng, accompanied by Peng Zhen, walked into the small conference room in Building 2, where high-level meetings of the municipal government are usually held.

When Qin Feng entered, the conference room was already full of people. Today's meeting was a party group meeting of the municipal government, a meeting with the mayor, and also a welcome party. In short, it was Qin Feng's first meeting since he came to the Shazhou Municipal Government.

Those who attended the meeting were all members of the municipal government's leadership team and party group. According to the information, Qin Feng knew that the entire Shazhou Municipal Government leadership team consisted of one mayor, nine vice-mayors, ten mayors and one secretary general, a total of eleven people.

Nine deputy mayors is not the most among prefecture-level cities, but it is still a lot.

After Qin Feng walked in, everyone in the conference room stood up and applauded with smiles on their faces to welcome Qin Feng's arrival.

Qin Feng walked to the conference table, and Peng Zhen began to introduce the first deputy mayor to Qin Feng. After Peng Zhen introduced one, Qin Feng shook hands with the other party, and then went forward one by one and continued to introduce and shake hands.

After Qin Feng shook hands with all the deputy mayors, everyone stood in their respective seats. Everyone followed the rules and did not sit down until Qin Feng took his seat.

Qin Feng sat down in his seat and asked everyone to sit down. The conference room instantly became quiet and everyone looked at Qin Feng, the new mayor of Shazhou City.

This conference room is specially used to hold meetings of municipal government leaders, so there are exactly eleven seats on the entire conference table. Under normal circumstances, it should be full, but today there is an empty seat, and this seat is on Qin Feng’s left, which is the "number two seat".

Obviously, this position belongs to the second-in-command, Executive Vice Mayor Shao Hongli.

In fact, Qin Feng found that Shao Hongli was not there as soon as he came in.
