Chapter 2469 Relieve Your Burden

After listening to it, Shao Hongli felt that he seemed to have heard an unreasonable joke, so he did not refute Qin Feng, but looked at Qin Feng with a sneer, waiting for Qin Feng to finish his words.

"The situation of our Shazhou Municipal Government is quite special. Before I took office, the mayor position was vacant for several months because of an accident that happened to my predecessor, Qi Yaqiu."

"During this period, Comrade Hongli not only had to take charge of the areas under his charge, but also the overall work of the municipal government. It was very hard."

"After I came to Shazhou to take up my post, I was temporarily transferred from another place and knew nothing about the situation in Shazhou. I was unable to take over the work immediately, which led to Comrade Hongli taking on all the work alone for several months."

"Comrade Hongli just said that he has too much work to do and doesn't have enough energy and time. This is the truth, and it's all my responsibility. So, in order to reduce Comrade Hongli's work pressure, I'm going to take over the work that should have been my responsibility."

"From now on, I will be personally responsible for the financial and auditing work, and Comrade Hongli will focus on development and reform, taxation, statistics and other aspects, and at the same time assist me in handling the overall work of the municipal government." Qin Feng said "sincerely" while smoking a cigarette.

Previously, the finance and auditing work of Shazhou City were in charge of Shao Hongli. Finance and development and reform were almost the two most important pieces of meat for the entire municipal government, and auditing was the most important power. Now Qin Feng wanted to take away the fattest piece of meat and the biggest power from Shao Hongli in one breath, leaving only development and reform in Shao Hongli's hands. This move was really ruthless.

Now everyone finally understands why Hu Haihui dared to directly "blast" Shao Hongli before. It turns out that the problem is here. If Qin Feng takes away the power of being in charge of finance from Shao Hongli, then Hu Haihui will be directly under the leadership of Qin Feng in the future, and naturally he will not need to give Shao Hongli too much face.

But there was one thing that everyone didn't understand. Qin Feng wanted to take a cut of the meat directly from Shao Hongli. Would Shao Hongli agree?

"Thank you for your concern, mayor. But I don't feel tired serving the people. I also think that this is the organization's trust in me, so there is no need to adjust my division of labor. I'm not too old and can handle it." Shao Hongli said with a sneer.

"Mayor Hongli, your public-spirited spirit is worthy of our learning. I also understand your desire to serve the people more, but our city government is a group."

"What is a group about? Division of labor, mutual assistance, and fairness and rules. We can't dump all the work on a certain comrade just because he has a strong sense of responsibility. This is unreasonable and will cause problems sooner or later."

"Comrade Hongli has been shouldering most of the work of our city government over the years. Now we must reduce the burden on Comrade Hongli."

"Although there is no fixed way to divide the work among the leaders of our municipal government, we have always had established rules. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules, so I think we should still follow the rules. We can't let Mayor Hongli work alone while I, as the mayor, sit here and do nothing. This is not the right thing to do, right?"

"I don't think we need to discuss this matter any further. The leadership division of Comrade Hongli, Ding Wenbo and Sun Yuanwei will be adjusted as soon as possible. Does anyone have any different opinions?" Qin Feng said and glanced at the other party.

Shao Hongli naturally disagreed and immediately raised his objection. However, because the reasons Qin Feng gave for the adjustment today were too politically correct, Shao Hongli's rebuttal was a bit too far-fetched. On this point, Shao Hongli suffered a great loss.

You know, at this kind of meeting, it is not just the two principles of minority obeying the majority and the veto power of the top leader that are important.

At the same time, because every word and action at this meeting must be recorded and submitted to higher authorities for review when necessary, the basis for discussion here is very important. If you forcefully oppose it without reason, the consequences will be very serious.

This is why Qin Feng had to do so much preparation in the beginning, the purpose was to make this adjustment in the division of labor justifiable.

Of course, when it comes to his own interests, Shao Hongli didn't care so much and took the lead in opposing Qin Feng's suggestion to adjust the division of labor among leaders.

Not only Shao Hongli opposed it, but the two deputy mayors Ding Wenbo and Tian Wenjian also firmly opposed Qin Feng.

Ding Wenbo and Tian Wenjian are both staunch members of Shao's faction. Together with Peng Zhen before him, these three people have deep interests tied to Shao Hongli. It is because of the firm support of these three people that Shao Hongli's position in the municipal government is so stable, and a situation has been created where he is not the mayor but is better than the mayor.

As for the other deputy mayors, except for Sun Yuanwei, who did not look like a manager and was waiting to retire, they all chose not to offend Shao Hongli, but they also did not curry favor with him, such as Deputy Mayor Feng Changjun, who also served as the director of the Public Security Bureau.

This was the situation when Qi Yaqiu was mayor. Ding Wenbo, Tian Wenjian and Peng Zhen firmly supported Shao Hongli, while the others did not take sides between Qi Yaqiu and Shao Hongli. They either did not participate at all or chose a situation that was beneficial to them and were not targeting people but the matter.

It is because of this situation that although Qi Yaqiu is the mayor, he has been suppressed by Shao Hongli in the municipal government for the past two years.

But after Qin Feng came, it took only three months to completely change the situation, because Qin Feng not only pulled Sun Yuanwei, who was almost retired and indifferent to worldly affairs, into his own camp, but also drove Peng Zhen away and brought in Chen Guohua.

As they went in and out, the number of people Qin Feng and Shao Hongli were almost the same. In addition, Qin Feng himself was the mayor and the secretary of the party group, so he had absolute say in the party group meeting.

So after Sun Yuanwei, Chen Guohua, Tian Wenjian and Ding Wenbo had several rounds of verbal battles, Qin Feng asked others if they had any different opinions. The others very wisely chose to watch the fire from the other side and no one chose to take sides and speak.

So Qin Feng, in the name of the party group secretary, made the final decision and announced that the adjustment plan for the division of labor among municipal government leaders had been approved, and asked Chen Guohua to immediately send the plan to the municipal party committee for approval.

Logically speaking, there should be a vote by raising hands, but this is a party group meeting, not a standing committee meeting, so it is not that rigorous. So when both sides are arguing, there is nothing wrong with Qin Feng, the party group secretary, making the final decision.

Shao Hongli naturally disagreed, but Qin Feng said: "If you have different opinions, you can express them. Everyone's speeches at today's meeting are recorded for reference. At the same time, if you have objections to the results of today's party group meeting, you can report to the Municipal Party Committee. However, the results of the party group meeting are collective decisions and must be followed."

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting!" Qin Feng said and stood up.
