Chapter 2373 Forcing Qin Feng

Qin Feng was certain that Jiang Longjun would come to find him, so he was not in a hurry at all and kept dragging the matter on.

Normally, he should have come to Jiang Longjun to discuss the matter when Shao Hongli handed him the document, but Qin Feng refused. He wanted to wait for Jiang Longjun to take the initiative to talk to him about the matter, so that he would have complete control of the initiative.

Just like now, Jiang Longjun took the initiative to bring up this matter. Qin Feng raised his own difficulties right at the start and told Jiang Longjun directly that he had just arrived and could not take the initiative in the municipal government. He was not Shao Hongli's opponent and did not want to be an enemy of Shao Hongli, so he asked Jiang Longjun to bring this matter directly to the Standing Committee to settle it, so that Shao Hongli would not even have a chance to resist.

The reason why Qin Feng raised this point was that he was certain that Jiang Longjun was unwilling and dared not bring this matter to the Standing Committee. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately been so cunning as not to directly confirm in the Municipal Party Committee's document that the No. 1 Middle School would be moved to the Nanshan New District.

Because the Standing Committee is Jiang Longjun's home ground. Once this matter reaches the Standing Committee, if the final resolution is to move to Nanshan New District, it means that Jiang Longjun and Lixin Group are enemies, which Jiang Longjun dare not touch. This is exactly why Jiang Longjun took the initiative to call Qin Feng over today.

When it comes to political strategy, after so many years of training, Qin Feng is now more or less a veteran.

Qin Feng's naive performance put Jiang Longjun in a very passive position.

At the beginning, Qi Yaqiu was secretly instigated by Jiang Longjun to go to the front line against the Lixin Group. In the end, Qi Yaqiu was retaliated by the Lixin Group and died on the sandbar. Jiang Longjun has an unshirkable responsibility.

Jiang Longjun originally thought that Qin Feng was a "fool". No matter what, he would definitely be easier to fool than Qi Yaqiu. Today, he wanted to trick Qin Feng into going to the front line against the Lixin Group, or at least fight against Shao Hongli. This way, the municipal government would not form a whole, which would be beneficial for his control over the overall situation.

But he didn't expect that Qin Feng was so "ignorant", which made Jiang Longjun not know what to say. After all, there are some things in the officialdom that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

"Qin Feng, moving the No. 1 Middle School to Nanshan New District is a major strategy. No one is allowed to make changes, so your municipal government must strictly implement this." Jiang Longjun threatened Qin Feng with a dark face.

"Yes, yes, I agree with this, but Secretary Jiang, as I just said, first, the municipal party committee has not made clear regulations on this matter, so strictly speaking, the municipal government's final decision to move the No. 1 Middle School to Xinyang Village has no problem in principle."

"Secondly, the relocation of Xinyi Village to Xinyang City was a collective decision made by the entire municipal government, and the process was legal and compliant, and it was completed before I came to Shazhou."

"Although I am the mayor, I cannot go against the decision of the group, and I don't have the ability to do so." Qin Feng said with a smile, once again implicitly indicating that the person in charge of the municipal government now is Shao Hongli, not him.

"However, I will definitely implement Secretary Jiang's instructions. After I go back, I will talk to Comrade Hongli about this matter. I will convey Secretary Jiang's opinions to Comrade Hongli word for word." Qin Feng added in a very "sinister" tone.

After hearing what Qin Feng said, Jiang Longjun couldn't help but frown again.

"Comrade Qin Feng, I don't know how it is in other cities. Although the party and the city are inseparable, in Shazhou, we have always strictly followed the rules and regulations. In principle, the municipal committee is only responsible for the general direction and does not interfere with the specific operations of your government. There are many accidents caused by unclear boundaries of power and responsibility, so this is a principled discipline in Shazhou City."

"In other words, the Municipal Party Committee only determines the general direction. Therefore, it is not convenient for our Municipal Party Committee to forcibly interfere with the decision made by your Municipal Government as to where the No. 1 Middle School will be moved to. This matter is best resolved by your Municipal Government itself." Jiang Longjun said seriously.

Qin Feng nodded, not knowing whether he nodded because he understood what Jiang Longjun meant or because he agreed with Jiang Longjun's words.

"Nanshan New District is the new engine for Shazhou's development. It is also Shazhou's century-long plan. It is Shazhou's biggest development strategy now, and it is also the top priority of our municipal party committee and government. All work must be carried out around promoting and facilitating the development of Nanshan New District."

"The relocation of the No. 1 Middle School to Nanshan New District is an important part of promoting the development of Nanshan New District. It is related to the success of the entire Nanshan New District development strategy and the next century of development of Shazhou. This is a matter of principle and there must not be any hesitation."

"So Qin Feng, the municipal government must firmly implement this matter. As the mayor, you must also do your best to promote its implementation."

Jiang Longjun spoke extremely seriously. He continued to put pressure on Qin Feng, trying to force Qin Feng to stand up and confront Shao Hongli.

Qin Feng continued to nod but didn't say a word.

Seeing that Qin Feng was being cunning and didn't say anything or express his opinion, Jiang Longjun knew in his heart that Qin Feng didn't want to stand out.

"Qin Feng, I recently heard some comrades report to me about some situations in the municipal government." Jiang Longjun changed the subject.

"Secretary Jiang, you say." Qin Feng nodded seriously again.

"Someone told me that since you took office, you have locked yourself in your office all day and never left the house. All the major and minor affairs of the municipal government are still left to Shao Hongli. I even heard that you have been in office for more than a month, and you have not yet officially handed over your work to Shao Hongli."

"Now the entire municipal party committee and government have given you a nickname, saying that you are a puppet mayor and Shao Hongli is the real mayor. Some people even go so far as to say that Shao Hongli is Wu Zetian who is ruling from behind the curtain, and you are just Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi who is sitting in front and pretending to be so."

Jiang Longjun just looked at Qin Feng after he finished speaking.

These words were not deliberately made up by Jiang Longjun to provoke Qin Feng. Indeed, someone described them this way when these people were chatting privately inside the agency, and Qin Feng had heard these gossips a long time ago.

But how could Qin Feng today be affected by the gossips of these low-level ants?

Jiang Longjun looked at Qin Feng, while Qin Feng sat there smoking with a smile on his face.

"Comrade Qin Feng, I know you did this for the purpose of uniting comrades, and your original intention was good, but what you did was seriously irresponsible, politically very dangerous, and the consequences are also serious."

"As the mayor, the head of the municipal government, you must shoulder your responsibilities. This is the right and responsibility entrusted to you by the organization and the people. You must live up to the trust of the organization and the people."

"Comrade Qin Feng, now this matter is only circulating within our Shazhou. After a long time, if this matter reaches the ears of the provincial party committee leaders, how do you think the provincial party committee leaders will view you as the mayor?" Jiang Longjun said this very seriously.
