Chapter 2449: Already Knowing the Result

After Qin Feng approved these documents, Chen Guohua took out another document and handed it to Qin Feng: "Mayor, this is a summary of the materials I made for today's mayor's office meeting. Please take a look at what needs to be corrected and what needs to be supplemented?"

Afterwards, Chen Guohua took out Qin Feng's work schedule for the week and reported it to Qin Feng one by one, and then listened to Qin Feng's opinions and made adjustments.

On Monday, not only Qin Feng was busy, but also the secretary general Chen Guohua was busy. You know, Chen Guohua served not only Qin Feng, but the entire municipal government. In addition to Qin Feng, he also had a lot of other work to do.

After reporting all the work, Chen Guohua said to Qin Feng: "Mayor, there is one more thing here."

"what's up?"

"Ding Haiyang came to my house to see me last night."

"Ding Haiyang?" It was the first time Qin Feng heard this name.

"Ding Haiyang is a lawyer, but he never takes any cases. He has opened his own law firm, which is doing very well. It is one of the best law firms in Shazhou."

"But these are just Ding Haiyang's public identities. They are not worth mentioning to him. He also has another identity, which is the legal advisor of Lixin Group."

"He seems to be just an extra-staff consultant and not a formal employee of Lixin Group, but in fact, it's just the opposite. He is one of the core figures of the entire Lixin Group and is Yang Zhijie's most trusted military advisor and public relations manager." Chen Guohua reported.

Chen Guohua's words "military strategist and public relations manager" vividly described Ding Haiyang's position and role in Lixin Group, allowing Qin Feng to understand Ding Haiyang very clearly at once.

"Let me put it this way, Mayor. The Lixin Group has two fronts, the red and the black. The eldest of the Yang family, Yang Zhijie's brother Yang Zhihao, is in charge of the underworld, and this Ding Haiyang is the steward beside Yang Zhijie who is in charge of the red world of the entire Lixin Group."

"The smartest thing Yang Zhijie did was that neither Yang Zhihao nor Ding Haiyang were official employees of the Lixin Group. What they did had no direct relationship with the Lixin Group in the legal sense," said Chen Guohua.

If Chen Guohua simply wanted to introduce Ding Haiyang, there was actually no need to describe the internal affairs of the Lixin Group in such detail, especially deliberately mentioning the underworld and Yang Zhihao. After all, these were things that had not been confirmed and had no evidence.

Chen Guohua naturally had his own selfish motives when he said this to Qin Feng.

Of course, Qin Feng could tell that Chen Guohua was "smuggling something ulterior motive", and he also understood that Chen Guohua wanted to subtly make Qin Feng pay more "attention" to the Lixin Group.

"Why did he come to see you?" Qin Feng asked indifferently.

"He came to me to ask me to help Yang Zhijie pass a message to you. Yang Zhijie wants to invite you to dinner and meet him." Chen Guohua said.

Qin Feng couldn't remember how many times Yang Zhijie had made this request, but before it was Peng Zhen who conveyed the message, and this time Yang Zhijie personally sent someone to find Chen Guohua.

Of course, the meaning is completely different whether the message is delivered by Peng Zhen or Chen Guohua.

Qin Feng did not reply immediately. He lit a cigarette and continued smoking. Then he said, "Promise him, but tell him that I will treat him to a meal tomorrow night. You can tell him the location tomorrow afternoon. You must explain to him that this is a private dinner from me."

Qin Feng invited Yang Zhijie to dinner? This surprised Chen Guohua very much. He didn't understand what Qin Feng was doing.

"The Standing Committee meeting will be held soon. After the meeting, your and Hu Haihui's appointments will be officially confirmed. Now is the time to meet him." Qin Feng said while smoking.

Chen Guohua nodded, he understood what Qin Feng meant.

After this Standing Committee meeting, Mayor Qin Feng can be considered a mayor with real power. Qin Feng and Yang Zhijie will have to meet face to face sooner or later, and only now can he take the initiative if he meets with Yang Zhijie.

"You arrange the place to eat with Yang Zhijie. An ordinary restaurant will do. The cost should not exceed one thousand yuan. After all, I am a civil servant and I cannot afford such a high cost." Qin Feng added.

Chen Guohua smiled when he heard this and nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it myself."

"Your appointment will be announced soon after the Standing Committee is convened. Although you are already doing some of the secretary-general's work, it is still different."

"I won't say much about the importance of the position of Secretary General. You know this better than I do. Comrade Guohua, I will just say one thing. I took a big risk by letting you replace Peng Zhen. It's like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth. You know very well how many people in the municipal government are upset about this."

"I'm letting you sit in this position now, so you must do your job well and don't give anyone a handle on you, otherwise it will be embarrassing for both of us."

"And you also know what I am going to do in the future, so your position will be very dangerous. You must be mentally prepared and be more cautious." Qin Feng reminded Chen Guohua.

Many people believed that the Standing Committee meeting that day would be full of tension, after all, the matter to be decided at this Standing Committee meeting was too important.

Although this was a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, everyone knew that this Standing Committee meeting was actually a struggle within the municipal government.

The two sides in the struggle are the new mayor Qin Feng and Shao Hongli, the actual controller of the municipal government.

Moreover, the confrontation at the Standing Committee meeting was initiated by Qin Feng against Shao Hongli. Whether it was the removal of Peng Zhen, the Secretary General of the Municipal Government, or the removal of the Director of the Finance Bureau, it was all initiated by Qin Feng.

Everyone is paying attention to the final result of this Standing Committee meeting, because the result will not only show whether the new mayor Qin Feng is truly capable, but will also completely change the current political landscape of the municipal government.

If Qin Feng really succeeded in replacing the municipal government secretary general and the director of the Finance Bureau and replaced them with his own people, then the municipal government would no longer be controlled by Shao Hongli alone, but Qin Feng would become the one in charge.

However, those who think so are all laymen. Generally speaking, the Standing Committee rarely has fierce conflicts, because everything discussed at the Standing Committee has already been discussed in advance.

Take the issues discussed at this Standing Committee meeting for example. Whether it was the candidates for the Municipal Government Secretary General and the Finance Bureau Director, or the recommendations for the Pingnan County Party Committee Secretary and County Mayor, they had already been determined long ago, and today's Standing Committee meeting was actually just a formality.

Having said that, after the Standing Committee meeting, the entire Shazhou Municipal Standing Committee still looked at Qin Feng with new eyes. Although they didn't know why Jiang Longjun stood behind Qin Feng to suppress Shao Hongli this time, they knew that Jiang Longjun would not do this for no reason, and Qin Feng must have his ability to make Jiang Longjun stand behind him.

The person with the ugliest expression in the entire Standing Committee was Shao Hongli. Although he had known the result long ago, announcing it again now was tantamount to slapping him in public again.
