Chapter 2421 I Need Your Support

"Thank you for the support of Mayor Yuan Wei. Mayor Yuan Wei, I propose that Comrade Chen Guohua take over as the Secretary General of the Municipal Government and Comrade Hu Haihui take over as the Director of the Finance Bureau. This proposal has been preliminarily recognized by the organization and is now waiting for the Standing Committee to review and vote."

"You are an old comrade and a senior. You must have unique insights on personnel matters. What do you think of these two comrades? Are they capable of doing the job?" Qin Feng said to Sun Yuanwei while drinking tea.

Sun Yuanwei is just an ordinary deputy mayor, not even a member of the Standing Committee, and a deputy mayor with not much power. Why is it necessary to ask Sun Yuanwei for his opinion on such an important personnel adjustment?

Qin Feng asked Sun Yuanwei for two reasons: firstly, to show his respect for Sun Yuanwei, and secondly, to show Sun Yuanwei the resources he had.

Sun Yuanwei also understood what Qin Feng meant. The reason why he talked so much about his opinions on this personnel adjustment and fully expressed his agreement with Qin Feng's opinions was also to express his attitude to Qin Feng.

"There is absolutely no problem. Comrade Chen Guohua's ability is beyond words..." Sun Yuanwei is very supportive of both Chen Guohua and Hu Haihui.

"When the positions of these two comrades were adjusted, Mayor Hongli did not agree very much. Mayor Hongli and I had a conflict over this matter, so I came here today to consult Mayor Yuanwei." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Here, Qin Feng mentioned to Sun Yuanwei the conflict between him and Shao Hongli, which was the most important thing.

"The mayor can listen to Shao Hongli's opinions, but he doesn't need to take them seriously. He always puts personal interests above public interests. He always considers his personal gains and losses first when thinking about an issue. So in my opinion, his opinions are not very valuable for reference and there is no need to listen to them." Sun Yuanwei said calmly. He showed restraint by not scolding Shao Hongli directly.

Qin Feng continued to talk slowly with Sun Yuanwei about some of the work of the municipal government.

"Mayor, what is your opinion on the plan to confirm the new address of the No. 1 Middle School?" Sun Yuanwei suddenly asked Qin Feng.

After Sun Yuanwei asked this question, Qin Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Sun Yuanwei to ask this question on his own initiative, which made it difficult for him to answer for a while.

Sun Yuanwei is the deputy mayor in charge of culture and education. Logically, the construction of the No. 1 Middle School in the city should be his responsibility. However, in reality, Sun Yuanwei had no right to express his opinion on this matter and was directly sidelined by Shao Hongli.

Of course, as the deputy mayor of culture and education, it was natural for Sun Yuanwei to ask about this matter. But Qin Feng knew that Sun Yuanwei was not simply asking Qin Feng where the No. 1 Middle School would be built, but was asking about Qin Feng's attitude towards the Lixin Group.

For Sun Yuanwei, how Qin Feng treats Lixin Group is very important, because he, Sun Yuanwei, is not a member of Lixin Group and has always stood on the opposite side of Lixin Group.

"This is a very important matter. It not only concerns the development of the No. 1 Middle School, but also the future education situation of the entire Shazhou City. Moreover, where the No. 1 Middle School is moved to is also related to the economic development of our entire Shazhou City. We must be cautious."

"This matter had already been confirmed before I came, so I was very passive when reviewing this matter. However, I do not agree with Shao Hongli's decision to overturn the previous decision and forcibly change the new address of the No. 1 Middle School from Nanshan New District to Xinyang City."

Although Qin Feng chose his words very carefully, he conveyed his attitude to Sun Yuanwei clearly and unmistakably.

"Then what is the mayor's opinion on the relocation site of the No. 1 Middle School? Does he prefer Nanshan New District or Xinyang City?" Sun Yuanwei did not give Qin Feng any room for ambiguity.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "If I support the move to Xinyang City, the project would have already been implemented."

"The relocation of No. 1 Middle School to Nanshan New District has been fully demonstrated. It will play an important role in the development of No. 1 Middle School and the entire Shazhou education, as well as in promoting the development of Nanshan New District and the economic development of the entire Shazhou."

"Therefore, the No. 1 Middle School will definitely move to Nanshan New District, and it can only move to Nanshan New District. However, as I said just now, the relocation of the No. 1 Middle School involves a wide range of issues and is very complicated. I don't think now is the best time for the No. 1 Middle School to start the relocation project."

"Good things are worth waiting for. I think we have to wait for this. Starting now will only result in a half-cooked meal." Qin Feng spoke to Sun Yuanwei without reservation.

How could Sun Yuanwei not understand the meaning of Qin Feng's words? After Qin Feng finished speaking, Sun Yuanwei showed an expression of appreciation.

For Qin Feng, the relocation of the No. 1 Middle School in the city is a difficult issue. If Qin Feng asks to move to Nanshan New District, it would be equivalent to declaring a direct war on Nanshan New District. For Qin Feng now, it is far from the right time.

However, if he agreed to move to Xinyang City, Qin Feng would not agree to it from the perspective of the overall interests of Shazhou City. Moreover, doing so would be tantamount to standing against Jiang Longjun, which would be fatal to Qin Feng now.

Qin Feng's political position in Shazhou is very embarrassing. If he wants to survive and successfully gain a foothold and consolidate his position, he can only obtain the support of Jiang Longjun on the one hand, and find ways to maintain relations with Lixin Group on the other hand, and then mainly target Shao Hongli.

"Mayor, you know, I'm already old and it's time for me to retire in two years. I really don't know how my old bones can help you." Sun Yuanwei said with a smile.

Qin Feng also laughed after hearing this. Qin Feng knew what kind of help Sun Yuanwei could provide to Qin Feng, and Sun Yuanwei also knew it in his heart.

Qin Feng invited Sun Yuanwei to dinner. Sun Yuanwei must have guessed Qin Feng's purpose. He asked this question naturally to ask about the price Qin Feng would give. Otherwise, why would he follow Qin Feng and take the risk of getting involved in the political whirlpool of Shazhou when he was about to retire?

"Comrade Shao Hongli has been in charge of the municipal government for a long time. I am not very satisfied with many of his works during this period. I also think that I am not very satisfied with the division of labor among the main comrades in the municipal government and the work attitude and work discipline of some comrades."

“You are an old comrade in the municipal government, and I hope you can support me in carrying out a comprehensive overhaul of the municipal government.”

Qin Feng almost told Sun Yuanwei directly that he wanted to deal with Shao Hongli.

"In addition, I think many positions in Shazhou need to be replaced. You are an old Shazhou veteran and an old comrade. You are very familiar with the cadres and masses of Shazhou, so I need you to help with the personnel adjustment in the future. This is very important."

"For example, the current situation in Pingnan County, where both the county party secretary and county magistrate are vacant, requires the city to come up with a recommendation list as soon as possible for the province to appoint new comrades to take charge of Pingnan County in order to maintain stability."

"Mayor Yuanwei, who do you think is suitable to be in charge of Pingnan County?" Qin Feng said and looked at Sun Yuanwei.
