Chapter 2352 Pretending to be a grandson everywhere

"Mayor, you are too polite. I am really flattered. I had planned to report to the mayor this afternoon and then find an opportunity to hand over the work at hand to the mayor, but I didn't expect the mayor to come first." Shao Hongli pretended to be flattered.

"For the time being, you don't have to report to me. The entire city government's work is on you, Mayor Hongli. How can you find time to report to me when you are so busy?"

"Besides, I just arrived here and I am completely clueless about our sandbar. I don't know anything about the situation. Even if you report to me, I won't be able to understand the situation."

"As for the handover of work, I don't think there is a rush to do it for the time being. It's the same reason, Mayor Hongli. I just arrived and don't know the situation of the sandbar. It would be irresponsible to hand over all the related work to me at this time. What I mean is that these tasks should continue to be in charge of Mayor Hongli for the time being. Those who are capable should do more work. Mayor Hongli should work harder for a while. When I am fully familiar with the situation of the sandbar, we can talk about the handover of this job." Qin Feng said seriously.

Qin Feng's words surprised Shao Hongli. He didn't want to meet Qin Feng because he didn't want to hand over his work to Qin Feng.

After Qi Yaqiu died, the entire Shazhou Municipal Government work was entirely the responsibility of Shao Hongli. In other words, Shao Hongli is now actually the mayor and exercises the power of the mayor.

According to the law and relevant regulations, as long as Qin Feng takes office, he must transfer all the work to Qin Feng, and his temporary power will be automatically taken back.

Although Mayor Qin Feng has not completed the process, he is already the party secretary of the municipal government and the real top leader of the municipal government.

Shao Hongli did not go to see Qin Feng to hand over his work, but just to express his dissatisfaction. After all, he thought that this position was in his pocket before, and he had paid a lot for this position, but in the end he did not expect that it would be snatched away by Qin Feng who came out of nowhere. It was impossible for him not to be angry.

But Shao Hongli also knew that he was just complaining. These jobs could not be not transferred just because he said so, and the mayor's power could not be not given to Qin Feng just because he said so.

Today, the secretary told Shao Hongli that Qin Feng would take the initiative to come to see him in the afternoon. The first thing Shao Hongli thought of was that Qin Feng was coming to him to ask for the transfer of his work. After all, this was Qin Feng's natural power. If Qin Feng did not transfer the work he was responsible for, then Qin Feng, the mayor, would be a mere figurehead with no real power.

Shao Hongli originally wanted to embarrass Qin Feng and create some trouble for Qin Feng when he came to discuss the handover.

Shao Hongli has been targeting Qin Feng in every way since Qin Feng arrived, not just because he is venting his dissatisfaction. When they are in their position, they will never do childish things that have no benefits and are simply for venting emotions. The reason why Shao Hongli has embarrassed Qin Feng again and again is to warn Qin Feng.

He wanted to let Qin Feng know his existence, and also let Qin Feng know who was the real helmsman of the city government, and finally make Qin Feng understand that he should not think about going against him.

In fact, Shao Hongli's goal was indeed achieved. Because Shao Hongli was full of hostility towards Qin Feng as soon as he arrived, Qin Feng paid special attention to Shao Hongli. In the past two days, he has been trying his best to find out Shao Hongli's bottom line intentionally or unintentionally. Although Qin Feng has not yet fully understood the situation, he has roughly guessed one thing, that the real head of the municipal government is Shao Hongli, and Shao Hongli is likely to have the support of Lixin Group behind him.

It is because of this realization that Qin Feng is particularly tolerant of Shao Hongli, and chooses to take the initiative to meet Shao Hongli, and is not in a hurry to hand over the work from Shao Hongli, allowing Shao Hongli to continue to exercise the power of the mayor.

Qin Feng's abnormal behavior disrupted Shao Hongli's original plan, and made Shao Hongli suddenly not know what to do.

Shao Hongli's mind was working rapidly, and he kept thinking about why Qin Feng would do such an unreasonable thing, and whether there was some trap here.

"Mayor, this is against the rules. I am only temporarily in charge of the overall work of the municipal government. Now that you are here, I must hand over these tasks to you as soon as possible." Shao Hongli hurriedly said politely.

"Mayor Hongli, I'm new here and I don't know anything. It would be irresponsible for me to intervene rashly. Mayor Hongli, please keep working hard for a while."

"And even if I am familiar with the work in the future, the work of the municipal government will still be mainly based on your opinions, Mayor Hongli. You are a senior and a veteran of Shazhou. Your experience, ability and familiarity with Shazhou are all above mine. I am an outsider monk, still a young monk, and I still need your support and guidance."

Qin Feng was very humble in front of Shao Hongli today. Not only did he directly give the power of the mayor to Shao Hongli, he also directly stated that Shao Hongli would be in charge of all the affairs of the municipal government in the future.

The candy Qin Feng gave to Shao Hongli was so big that after Qin Feng left, Shao Hongli kept sitting in the office thinking about why Qin Feng did this and what his plan was.

Qin Feng was sincere in delegating power to Shao Hongli, because based on the current power comparison between him and Shao Hongli in Shazhou Municipal Government, even if he exercised the power of the mayor, he would actually be no match for Shao Hongli.

In the political landscape, position is indeed very important, but position does not mean that you can truly hold power.

Therefore, even if Qin Feng took back the power of the mayor from Shao Hongli, the real head of Shazhou Municipal Government would still be Shao Hongli, and Qin Feng would not be able to change this situation at least in the short term. And if Shao Hongli really had the support of Lixin Group as he guessed, he would be even less of a match for Shao Hongli.

Moreover, if Qin Feng really did this, not only would he take back the mayor's power from Shao Hongli, but he would also want to be the head of the city government immediately. This would only make Shao Hongli feel that he was actively weakening his power. Doing so would only anger Shao Hongli and make Shao Hongli regard him as an enemy, which would be very fatal for Qin Feng, who had just arrived and had no support in Ganliang Province.

Therefore, instead of taking back the temporarily meaningless mayoral power from Shao Hongli, it would be better to give it directly to Shao Hongli, act like a grandson in front of Shao Hongli, please Shao Hongli, let Shao Hongli not regard him as an enemy, give him some buffer time, first understand the situation of Shazhou and the political context behind it, and then plan how to gain a firm foothold, and finally truly take back his dominance in the municipal government.

For Qin Feng, there is only one thing he can do now, that is to keep a low profile and act like a grandson everywhere.

After coming out of Shao Hongli's office, Qin Feng also smiled bitterly helplessly. There would not be another mayor as cowardly as him in the future, but at least there had never been one before.
