Chapter 2448 Busy Week 1

"What? Am I a devil?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"No...Mayor...that's not what I meant...I just..."

"Sit down and eat together. I asked you to prepare one meat and one vegetable. You prepared so many dishes, how can I finish them all by myself? Tell them next time that if there are no special instructions, just prepare the amount for one person. If there is more, I will trouble their leader." Qin Feng said.

"Yes, I...I will tell our leader." Liu Xiaonan nodded quickly, but still didn't dare to sit down.

"Please sit down. It will be a waste if you don't eat." Qin Feng invited Liu Xiaonan to sit down again.

Liu Xiaonan then sat down carefully, but was still very uneasy. He didn't even dare to pick up any food. He sat opposite Qin Feng, lowered his head and ate rice in big mouthfuls.

Qin Feng glanced at Liu Xiaonan's nervous expression, smiled, picked up a large piece of meat and put it into Liu Xiaonan's bowl, and said, "I asked you to sit down and eat together because it would be a waste if you couldn't finish the food, not because I wanted you to come here just to eat the food."

"I am a cadre of the people, not an official in the old society. Mayor or governor is just a position. Apart from this position, we are just ordinary people like you. You have seen that I need to eat, sleep and go to the toilet just like you."

"So, don't treat me as some prehistoric beast." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Qin Feng's half-joking remark made Liu Xiaonan feel a lot more relaxed.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Yongxin County."

"You're from Yongxin. How long will it take to get home? Can it be done in an hour?" Qin Feng asked.

Qin Feng knew that Yongxin County was a little far from Shazhou City.

Yongxin County is a county under Shazhou. It is also the poorest and least populated county. Most of the county is a barren Gobi desert.

It is poor because of its poor geographical location, and because of its poverty, it has the smallest population.

"It takes about an hour to get from the bus station to Yongxin County, and then another hour from the county to our town. After arriving in town, I can either rent a motorcycle to go home or ask my dad to pick me up on a motorcycle, which takes about half an hour."

"So the trip back home will take two and a half hours just on the bus. Plus waiting for the bus and so on, it will be at least four or five hours." Liu Xiaonan calculated.

Qin Feng nodded slightly. People living in the southeastern coastal cities might find this somewhat unbelievable, but for a place like sandbar, this was not too outrageous. After all, the entire sandbar was very large, and many places were deserted.

"How much do you earn?" Qin Feng chatted casually with Liu Xiaonan.

"It was originally three thousand five hundred, but after choosing me to serve you, the boss directly increased my salary to five thousand, and I also get a bonus every month. I am also considered a formal employee, and I will be bought social security starting next month." Liu Xiaonan couldn't help but feel happy when she said this, and her tone revealed her gratitude to Qin Feng. After all, it was because of Qin Feng that she had the opportunity to get a raise.

A monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, plus bonuses and social security, is considered a good salary in Shazhou.

"How is life at home?" Qin Feng continued to ask. He mainly wanted to learn about the real family situation of the rural people in Shazhou through Liu Xiaonan. These situations cannot be reflected on A4 paper.

……

Monday was a busy day for Qin Feng because it was the city government's regular mayor's office meeting.

Before Qin Feng came to Shazhou to take office, the Shazhou Municipal Government also had this kind of meeting, but it was not called this name and it was not held on Mondays. However, the function was basically the same. The mayor and the deputy mayor would sit together to discuss the important work of the entire Shazhou Municipal Government every week.

However, it was relatively loose before, and it was not necessary for the deputy mayor to attend. The leader presiding over the meeting had the final say on who would attend and what issues would be discussed. In fact, it was Shao Hongli who had the final say, which invisibly magnified Shao Hongli's power.

Qin Feng made new regulations half a month ago, confirming that this meeting would be held in the form of a regular meeting, and required all members of the Party Committee to attend, which actually means all deputy mayors and secretaries-general.

In addition, all deputy mayors must report and summarize the work progress and work plans in their respective areas of responsibility for the week.

This working model is very common at the grassroots level, but it is rarely used at the municipal government level.

The reason why Qin Feng did this was that he wanted to use this kind of regular meeting to assign responsibilities to individuals and change the lazy attitude of the entire Shazhou City Government.

However, the mayor's office meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. today, Monday, was postponed to 3 p.m. because the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee was to be held at 10 a.m. today, which conflicted with the office meeting in terms of time. In terms of the level and importance of the meeting, the mayor's office meeting naturally had to give way to the Standing Committee.

Monday, as the beginning of the work week, is also the busiest day of the week for Qin Feng.

On the way to work, Zhang Xinming reported to Qin Feng about Qin Feng's work schedule for the day.

The schedule was to be confirmed by the Secretary-General himself, and then he would ask Qin Feng for his opinion, and finally make some changes and arrangements. However, now Chen Guohua was asked to confirm it directly. Qin Feng had completely sidelined Peng Zhen, and Peng Zhen himself had chosen to lie low.

Normally, the schedule would be adjusted by Chen Guohua who would come to Qin Feng’s office to report to Qin Feng in person and ask for Qin Feng’s opinion before getting off work the day before. However, since today is Monday, Zhang Xinming first took the previously arranged draft and asked Qin Feng for his opinion before submitting it to Chen Guohua.

Qin Feng was very familiar with this set of procedures. After all, he had been Zhou Qiming's secretary before and his work was roughly the same.

Qin Feng's work today was almost fully scheduled from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon.

Shortly after Qin Feng arrived at the office, Chen Guohua came to Qin Feng's office with some documents.

"Mayor, you must review these documents as soon as possible." Chen Guohua came to Qin Feng.

Chen Guohua had already taken office as Secretary-General ahead of schedule, and the entire municipal government was well aware of this.

All the documents that come to Qin Feng's desk need to be uploaded by the office and then reviewed by the secretary-general. Some need to be given to other deputy mayors, while some must be reviewed by Qin Feng himself. After receiving them, Chen Guohua also divides the documents that Qin Feng needs to review into one, two and three categories.

The documents Chen Guohua brought today were the first category documents, which were very important and urgent. Zhang Xinming would move the other second and third category documents.

Chen Guohua did not just hand over a document, because he had already read these documents in advance, so when Qin Feng was reading the documents, he would introduce some information related to the documents to Qin Feng to help Qin Feng understand the information and make a judgment.

As Secretary-General, Chen Guohua is much more qualified than Peng Zhen and his abilities are incomparable.
