Chapter 2400 Offended Shao Hongli

Although Pingshun is a county-level city, it is also very large. Qin Feng stayed in Pingshun for a whole day.

Following Qin Feng's order, Xie Kang did not notify anyone and only brought two of his closest people, the director of the Pingshun Municipal Government Office and his secretary.

However, Xie Kang had arranged the route and itinerary for today's inspection in advance. Everyone has some little thoughts, and Xie Kang naturally hopes that Qin Feng can see the good side of Pingshun City, which can reflect his achievements in governance.

However, Qin Feng has never been a leader who plays by the rules. He did not raise any objection to the route arranged by Xie Kang, but he would often ask to change the route or get off the bus to conduct on-site inspections at the front line.

Qin Feng would either suddenly get out of the car and run to the farmland or farmer's home on the side of the road to sit, ask questions and take a look, or suddenly drive off the original route and drive into a side road. He had no purpose, just to see with his own eyes the situation in the corners.

Qin Feng, who had risen step by step from the grassroots, knew very well where he could see the most real and representative situation of a place.

Qin Feng also understood that the data on the documents he read while sitting in the office could never reflect the true living conditions of the local people. This was why he insisted on using his weekends to personally visit the three districts, five counties and one city in Shazhou.

Xie Kang was a little flustered by Qin Feng's unconventional behavior.

No cadre would not panic when their superiors conduct an "off-line" inspection. It is like a wife checking her husband's mobile phone. The content that the husband shows to his wife must be safe, but if the wife checks other content in her phone, how many husbands would not panic? More or less, there are some "secrets" that they dare not let their wives know.

Xie Kang is in this situation now. Many of the situations that Qin Feng saw in the corners of the city and farmers' homes are what Xie Kang tried his best to avoid letting Qin Feng know, and they were also those that were greatly beautified in the documents that Qin Feng read while sitting in the office.

Although Xie Kang was very nervous, he did not panic. Along the way, he introduced all aspects of Pingshun City to Qin Feng. He was able to give accurate data and answer all kinds of questions Qin Feng asked fluently.

Qin Feng was very satisfied with Xie Kang on this point. He knew that Xie Kang was not talking nonsense, because the data Xie Kang said was basically consistent with the data he had seen in the documents these days. This was why Qin Feng had to conduct a field inspection only after thoroughly reviewing the data and information on various areas of the sandbar.

Xie Kang had already arranged lunch at a big restaurant, which Qin Feng was not happy about, but since they were guests from far away, Xie Kang had already made arrangements and he couldn't spoil the fun too much, but not drinking was Qin Feng's bottom line.

In the afternoon, Xie Kang wanted to take Qin Feng to inspect several large projects and large companies in Pingshun City, but Qin Feng rejected his request. Qin Feng told Xie Kang that he would lead a team to inspect these representative projects in a public manner in a while, and he came today to see the living conditions of ordinary people in Pingshun.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Feng left Pingshun City and returned to Shazhou City. Xie Kang insisted on sending Qin Feng to the intersection where he would get on the bus.

On the way back, Xie Kang began to introduce to Qin Feng several major projects that Pingshun was vigorously promoting. Xie Kang had wanted to invite Qin Feng to personally investigate and inspect these projects several times before, but was rejected by Qin Feng every time.

From the moment Xie Kang took the initiative to mention these projects, Qin Feng knew what Xie Kang was planning.

Before Xie Kang finished explaining, Qin Feng interrupted him and asked, "How much money do you plan to ask the city for?"

Qin Feng exposed Xie Kang's true colors with just one sentence, which made Xie Kang very embarrassed.

"Mayor, that's not what I meant. I just... just..."

"I'm just here today to take a look around on my own behalf, so we're not going to talk about business today. If you want to ask the city for money, just follow the normal process and file a report. You can tell me about this next time I come to Pingshun for an official inspection." Qin Feng said in a serious tone.

Xie Kang nodded quickly and said yes, not daring to continue talking about this matter.

Xie Kang got off the car before leaving Pingshun City.

After Xie Kang got out of the car, Zhang Xinming got out of Xie Kang's car and sat back in the passenger seat of Qin Feng's car. Chen Guohua, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, also came to the back seat and sat next to Qin Feng.

"Mayor, it is indeed inappropriate for Xie Kang to bring up these projects with you today, and he knows that you have just taken over the work of the municipal government."

"But he also has his own difficulties. These projects were all promoted by him. They are all people's livelihood projects and will greatly benefit the economic development of Pingshun as a whole. It's just that these projects have been stuck in the municipal government." Chen Guohua interceded for Xie Kang to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng glanced at Chen Guohua who was sitting in the front seat and asked, "Why is it stuck in the city government?"

"Some projects are stuck in the review process. Some projects have been approved but the money is stuck. Some projects have been stuck for several years."

"He has been working hard for these projects over the years, and his hair has turned white. Sometimes I feel sorry for him, but he is a stubborn person, very stubborn, otherwise he would not have told you all this today when you come here for your first private visit." Chen Guohua has been speaking well of Xie Kang.

"Why have these projects been stuck for several years?" Qin Feng asked again.

"Basically, all of them are stuck with Shao Hongli. Some are blocked by Shao Hongli himself, and some are blocked by relevant departments under the instruction of Shao Hongli. In short, all of them are stuck."

"Didn't Comrade Qi Yaqiu promote these projects?"

"Mayor Yaqiu naturally agreed to the implementation of this project. Mayor Yaqiu also put a lot of effort into this matter. Otherwise, these projects would not have reached the stage of approval by the municipal government. In addition, two projects were approved but encountered problems during the funding process."

"Shao Hongli and the Finance Bureau were holding up the approval of the money. As the executive vice mayor, he has always been in charge of the finances," Chen Guohua explained.

Generally, the mayor is personally in charge of financial affairs. Of course, there are also many executive vice mayors who are in charge of finance and auditing, but generally no one dares to say no to something approved by the mayor.

However, Shazhou is obviously an exception. If the executive vice mayor in charge of financial affairs and the director of the Finance Bureau get together to block the disbursement of a sum of money, even if the mayor signs, there are ways to prevent the money from being disbursed. This is obviously the case now.

"Has Xie Kang ever offended Shao Hongli?" Qin Feng lit a cigarette.

Zhang Xinming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, whispered to the driver with great insight: "Open the window a little, and drive a little slower."
