Chapter 2497 Going to the Province to Run Relationships

"The old mayor's concerns are reasonable. This is indeed a possibility."

"But I don't think he dare to make too big a fuss. At most, it will be a small fight like last time." Qin Feng said as he lit a cigarette for Sun Yuanwei himself.

"First of all, I don't think he would dare to make a big fuss, unless Shao Hongli goes crazy and wants to completely turn against Jiang Longjun."

"The person who is most afraid of something happening in Liujia Village is not me, but Jiang Longjun. Shao Hongli certainly has no scruples about attacking me, but does he really dare to touch Jiang Longjun's reverse scale? I don't think he would do such a stupid thing."

"Secondly, he doesn't have the ability."

"He will definitely do something minor to Liujia Village to make things difficult for you to resolve, but he doesn't have the ability to do anything major."

"You are in charge of this area now. You should immediately find a way to replace the construction company with someone who is obedient and does not mess around. In addition, I have also personally notified the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The Municipal Public Security Bureau has sent people to patrol there 24 hours a day. In addition, Fuchang District is paying close attention to this matter. Even if Shao Hongli wants to make a big fuss, he doesn't have the ability to do so."

"Of course, there will definitely be people who secretly trip you up and hinder you from doing your job, which will make it more difficult for you, so you will have to thank the old mayor for your hard work." Qin Feng came today to comfort Sun Yuanwei and also to put pressure on him.

"I have thought of this a long time ago. He will definitely carry out opposition work in Liujia Village. But it doesn't matter. I am confident that I can handle it. I am not as good as him in playing dirty tricks, but I am not afraid of him in fighting openly." Sun Yuanwei said with a smile.

……

On Friday afternoon, Qin Feng flew to Xidu. This time, Qin Feng not only brought Zhang Xinming, but also Chen Guohua.

Qin Feng came to Xidu this time not to attend a meeting, but to "build relationships."

This kind of "running for connections" is half public and half private. On the surface, it is for the public. The Shazhou Municipal Government has too many projects, funds, and related policies that require the flexibility of the leaders in charge of various departments in the province. As the mayor, he must go out in person to run the relationship.

Don’t think that the mayor doesn’t need to do this. In fact, it’s the same. Township leaders need to go to the county to build relationships, the county needs to go to the city, and the city also needs to go to the province.

Even provincial leaders sometimes need to visit various central ministries for work and the development of the province.

At the same time, Qin Feng also had selfish motives. He felt more and more that his situation in Shazhou City and Ganliang Province was difficult, and he was almost struggling.

He has been in Shazhou for more than three months and is the mayor. However, after all his efforts and weighing of various issues, he has not accomplished anything significant. Not to mention fully controlling the situation in the municipal government, even promoting a project is difficult.

Ultimately, the problem lies not in Shazhou City, but in Ganliang Province.

Because Qin Feng had no support in the province, his actions in Shazhou City were full of difficulties. It was also because no one supported him from above that Qin Feng did not dare to take drastic actions, because Qin Feng knew that if he made a mistake, no one would cover him.

Since there is no support from above, I can only find support in the province myself, so it becomes inevitable to use connections.

Qin Feng had also used connections before, but he had never been so deliberate about it.

Until now, Qin Feng has not been optimistic about his future in Shazhou. No one knows better than him how difficult it is to do a job without support from above.

Qin Feng arrived in Xidu on Friday afternoon. After getting off the plane, he went to two provincial departments to personally visit the heads of the two departments.

It is rare for the mayor to personally go to relevant departments to build relationships. Usually, the corresponding deputy mayor does the job.

The reason why Qin Feng came here in person was, firstly, because his identity as the mayor would make others feel more valued, and secondly, because Qin Feng's control over the municipal government was limited, so he was not too confident in leaving some things to others, so he had to do it himself.

Qin Feng invited a vice governor to dinner on Friday night, and Qin Feng put a lot of thought into getting the other party to agree to come for this meal.

On Saturday, Qin Feng took Chen Guohua to visit several standing committee members of the province. Qin Feng had prepared for this matter for a long time in advance and had contacted them for a long time. In the end, only two standing committee members were willing to give Qin Feng the face to visit their homes. This also shows how difficult Qin Feng's situation in Ganliang Province is.

Qin Feng not only had to visit the provincial standing committee members, but he also had to improve his relationships with the bigwigs in various important positions in the provincial party committee and provincial government. Qin Feng also assigned tasks to Chen Guohua. For example, Chen Guohua needed to contact those people whose rank was not very high but whose positions were very important.

China has been a society based on personal relationships for thousands of years, so no matter how the system changes, personal relationships are a hurdle that Chinese society cannot avoid.

On Saturday night, Qin Feng hosted a banquet for two deputy directors of the Provincial Finance Department. Not only did they have dinner, Qin Feng also personally accompanied them to take a bath and steam in the sauna. There was no other way. Shazhou was in financial difficulties. Two sums of money had been stuck in the Finance Department. Qin Feng had already paid a visit to the superiors, and he also had to personally please the two deputy directors in charge.

Of course, at Qin Feng's level, it is impossible for him to do anything sexual. He chatted with the two deputy directors while taking a sauna, and left when the time was almost up. For Qin Feng, personally accompanying them in the chat was a sign of his high regard for the other party.

As for whether there will be other activities or even any expressions after Qin Feng leaves, that is what Chen Guohua will do there.

Qin Feng returned to the hotel, took a shower, and then video chatted with Zhou Qian. Because it was already late and their daughter had already fallen asleep, the couple just chatted in private.

Because I drank a lot of wine that day, I slept particularly well that night.

Just when he was half asleep, Qin Feng's cell phone rang.

Just when Qin Feng sat up in a daze and went to get his cell phone, there was a hurried knock on the door outside.

Qin Feng was confused for a moment, then immediately came to his senses. He knew that something must have happened, and it must have been a big deal, otherwise no one would call him so late, let alone knock on his door so late.

Qin Feng turned on the bedside lamp, picked up his mobile phone and took a look. The call was from Sun Yuanwei.

Qin Feng looked at the time. It was three forty in the morning.

"It turns out something big has happened." Qin Feng muttered to himself, then picked up the phone to answer it while walking outside, ready to open the door. If his guess was correct, the person knocking on the door should be Chen Guohua.

"Old mayor, what happened?" Qin Feng asked after taking the phone.

"Mayor, something happened in Liujia Village. The ancestral temple of Liujia Village caught fire." Sun Yuanwei reported directly.
