Chapter 2354 Night Talk by the Lake

"Director Chen, I saw today that the economy of our Shazhou was initially developed relying on minerals, right?" Qin Feng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette and asking Chen Guohua about some situations in Shazhou.

After pouring tea for Qin Feng and Chen Guohua, Sun Yuhan went into the kitchen to cook.

Qin Feng and Chen Guohua had a very in-depth conversation. Qin Feng spent the whole day in the office looking at Shazhou's economic data over the years. Although he only looked at a little bit, he had some understanding of the context of Shazhou's economic development over the years. At the same time, he also had some doubts, so he asked Chen Guohua.

Sun Yuhan can actually cook, and can cook some pretty good Jiangnan cuisine. This was completely beyond Qin Feng's expectations. Who would have thought that such a "fake nanny" actually had some real skills.

Looking at the exquisite Jiangnan dishes that Sun Yuhan put on the table, Qin Feng smiled playfully.

Qin Feng asked Sun Yuhan to come to the table to eat together, and then he and Chen Guohua continued to chat about the situation in Shazhou City while drinking. Now Qin Feng was like a dry sponge, eager to absorb all the moisture related to Shazhou.

Sun Yuhan was like a well-behaved little woman. She didn't participate in or interrupt the conversation between Qin Feng and Chen Guohua. She just sat beside Qin Feng and picked up food, poured wine, and served rice for him from time to time...

Qin Feng didn't drink much with Chen Guohua tonight. After dinner, he sat on the sofa with Chen Guohua and smoked. Sun Yuhan brought the brewed tea again and then went to clear the table. From this point of view, she is quite a competent nanny.

"I feel a little dizzy after drinking. Director Chen, please accompany me for a walk outside and then continue to tell me about the various aspects of the sandbar." Qin Feng suddenly stood up and said to Chen Guohua.

"Okay." Chen Guohua also stood up.

Chen Guohua followed Qin Feng out the door.

After Chen Guohua and Qin Feng went out, Sun Yuhan also walked out of the kitchen. She looked at the two people walking out of the yard from the restaurant window, thoughtfully, and then returned to the kitchen.

Songya Lake Villa Community is really beautiful, with great natural scenery. In addition, the gardens were built at great expense and the service area has very good properties, so everything is well maintained.

The most important thing is that it is very quiet here, because it is a villa area, the population density is very low, and all the people living here are either rich or noble, so there are even fewer people wandering around, after all, most rich people are very busy.

It was very pleasant to walk beside the beautiful Songya Lake. The only thing that made Qin Feng a little dissatisfied was the "old man" Chen Guohua who followed him.

"Where is Director Chen from?" Qin Feng asked Chen Guohua casually while smoking.

"I am from Wuzhou." Chen Guohua replied quickly.

Wuzhou is another prefecture-level city in Ganliang Province, hundreds of kilometers away from Shazhou.

“How many years have you been working in Shazhou?”

"It's been more than 20 years now. I was assigned to work in Shazhou right after I graduated from university."

“Have you always worked in the city government?”

“Not really. I started out working in Tiantai District about ten years ago. By chance, I was transferred to the Municipal Government Office and have been working there ever since,” Chen Guohua replied.

"I looked at your resume. You were promoted to deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and director of the municipal government office after Comrade Yaqiu came to work in Shazhou, right?" Qin Feng asked Chen Guohua casually.

Qin Feng mentioned the three words Qi Yaqiu again, and Chen Guohua began to feel uneasy again.

What Chen Guohua feared most was that someone would mention to him the relationship between him and Qi Yaqiu. This was not only a taboo for the entire Shazhou Municipal Government, but also a taboo for him, Chen Guohua. However, when Qin Feng asked him about it, he dared not not answer.

"Yes." Chen Guohua nodded in response, but did not give any further explanation.

"Your relationship with Comrade Peng Zhen is not very harmonious?" Qin Feng asked.

There are some things that everyone knows, but no one would say them out loud. However, Qin Feng just happened to say it in front of Chen Guohua today, which made Chen Guohua very embarrassed and difficult because he didn't know how to answer.

"There are indeed some... conflicts between me and the Secretary-General. This is caused by differences of opinion in our previous work." Chen Guohua still answered cautiously.

"Then what is your relationship with Mayor Hongli?" Qin Feng asked again.

Qin Feng asked about Chen Guohua's pain points again. The fundamental reason why he was in a difficult situation was that Shao Hongli disliked him.

"I don't have much contact with Mayor Hongli." Chen Guohua hesitated for a long time before saying this.

Qin Feng smiled. Chen Guohua's answer was very smart and conservative. As an office director, he was not very familiar with the executive vice mayor, which showed how much Shao Hongli disliked him.

"Is that so? Then let me ask you another question. If I don't protect you, how long can you stay in this position?" Qin Feng suddenly asked Chen Guohua with a smile.

Chen Guohua was completely stunned this time. It was impossible for someone in officialdom to speak so bluntly, not to mention that Qin Feng was the mayor.

The most important thing is that Chen Guohua couldn’t understand why Qin Feng asked this and why he had to make things clear to Chen Guohua.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he continued walking forward while smoking, but Chen Guohua stood there in a daze, as if he was petrified.

Qin Feng walked about ten meters away, and Chen Guohua suddenly woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly ran up to catch up with Qin Feng, but before he could speak, Qin Feng spoke first.

"You were promoted by Qi Yaqiu, right?" Qin Feng continued to ask.

"Yes." Chen Guohua nodded. Since Qin Feng had already talked about everything, Chen Guohua didn't need to hide anything anymore.

"Qi Yaqiu and Shao Hongli have a deep conflict and have always been fighting each other, right?"

Chen Guohua nodded again: "Yes, the struggle was very fierce."

"Shao Hongli has a very good relationship with Lixin Group. He has the support of Lixin Group, right?"

This time Chen Guohua looked at Qin Feng with some surprise, but finally nodded.

"Since Shao Hongli has the support of Lixin Group, he can compete with Mayor Qi Yaqiu on equal terms, or even have the upper hand, right?"

Chen Guohua could only nod.

"Then Qi Yaqiu suddenly died in a car accident, and the entire city government became completely controlled by Shao Hongli."

"Yes!"

"You were promoted by Qi Yaqiu. With the fierce factional struggle in the city government, you and Shao Hongli and Peng Zhen's faction have become sworn enemies. There is no possibility of easing the situation. It's a life-and-death struggle."

"In the past, Qi Yaqiu was the one sitting in the high position, so they couldn't do anything to you. But now Qi Yaqiu has suddenly passed away, and your world has collapsed all of a sudden. If it weren't for the vacancy of the mayor's position, it would have been inconvenient for Shao Hongli and others to take any drastic measures against you, and you would have been kicked out of such an important position long ago." Qin Feng continued to walk forward and spoke slowly while smoking.
