Chapter 2505 Going Back to Take the Blame

"He is indeed holding the most important trump card in his hand. Jiang Longjun is now doing its best to block this matter, but as long as Yang Zhijie takes action, this matter will definitely spread immediately and form an explosive effect. By then, I will definitely die, and Jiang Longjun will also be affected."

"So Yang Zhijie used this matter to threaten me and Jiang Longjun. If I didn't compromise and agree to move Xinyi Middle School to Xinyang City, he would make a big deal out of it."

"Either he successfully solves the problem of Xinyi Middle School, or he removes me as the mayor. I have to say that Yang Zhijie's move is indeed vicious." Qin Feng thought about this matter for the whole morning today and finally figured it all out.

Chen Guohua finally understood what was going on.

"Or... let's agree to build the New No. 1 Middle School in Xinyang City. Mayor, if the Liujia Village incident spreads now, we cannot afford the consequences, and the Liujia Village incident must be resolved as soon as possible." Chen Guohua said.

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. Even if I want to surrender, there is no possibility of surrendering now."

"For Jiang Longjun and I, what we want is not just to prevent this matter from spreading, but to completely and quickly resolve the Liujia Village issue. The question now is that even if I admit my mistake to Yang Zhijie and take the initiative to relocate Xinyi Middle School to Xinyi Middle School, will Yang Zhijie or Lixin Group be able to completely resolve the Liujia Village issue?"

"If we want to completely calm the anger of the villagers in Liujia Village and give an explanation to the public, we must arrest the gang that beat people last night and the people who instructed them behind the scenes. Once the gang that beat people last night is arrested, we will have to wipe out the entire evil force. If we pull out the carrot, we will also bring out the mud, which means we will have to thoroughly investigate the entire Lixin Group and the Yang family."

"For the Lixin Group, they may not even be able to hand over all the people who beat people last night, let alone the ones who came after them."

"If I can't do that, then there's no way to completely settle this matter. For Jiang Longjun and I, it won't be considered a solved problem. So if that's the case, why should I surrender to him?"

"I think Yang Zhijie may not have thought through the result before doing this." Qin Feng said.

"Mayor, I think the Lixin Group may be able to resolve the anger of the Liujia Village residents. Two years ago, Shao Hongli came forward to resolve the issue of the Liujia Village Ancestral Temple. Originally, the people of Liujia Village had a tough attitude, but after Shao Hongli personally came forward to deal with it, it didn't take long for the attitude of the Liujia Village people to soften."

"It's not that I look down on Shao Hongli, he doesn't have the ability, and the people in Liujia Village may not give him this face."

"The attitude of the people in Liujia Village suddenly changed 180 degrees. It must be the Lixin Group behind the scenes. With the ability and means of the Lixin Group, it is not difficult to deal with Liujia Village. They can use many means that the government cannot use."

"So, I think that as long as Lixin Group agrees to step in, the Liujia Village issue might actually be resolved," said Chen Guohua.

Qin Feng thought about it carefully. Chen Guohua's words made sense, but then he said, "What you said makes some sense, but this time is different from the last time. Last time we just agreed to move the ancestral temple, but this time it's a blood feud. So many people were killed and injured. Can Lixin Group still settle it?"

"No matter what, this matter must be settled. The group of people who beat people last night must be brought to justice. Several lives were lost. They should be shot. Does Lixin Group dare to hand them over?"

"And there is a most crucial question. Will Jiang Longjun agree to move Xinyi Middle School to Xinyang City?" Qin Feng asked Chen Guohua.

"Whether the No. 1 Middle School can be moved to Nanshan New District will play a key role in the success of Nanshan New District."

“Nanshan New District has been developed for several years. Many houses and facilities have been built, but how many people have bought houses and settled there? Without population, what’s the point of building all kinds of facilities? Aren’t there many new districts that have been built at great expense in various places in recent years that have ended up as ghost towns?”

"But as long as the No. 1 Middle School is relocated to Nanshan New District, Nanshan New District will be able to attract a large number of people immediately. You know how big the siphoning effect of the No. 1 Middle School on the population is."

"So we can say that if the No. 1 Middle School in the city moves to Nanshan New District, Nanshan New District will be successful. If the No. 1 Middle School in the city does not move to Nanshan New District, Nanshan New District will inevitably fail."

"To put it more clearly, if the No. 1 Middle School in the city does not move to the Nanshan New District, Jiang Longjun will definitely not be able to become a member of the Standing Committee in two years, and may not even be able to become a vice governor. At Jiang Longjun's age, if he cannot be promoted, he will have to retreat to the second line, and his political career will end here, so Jiang Longjun cannot accept this result."

"Even if the Liujia Village incident finally breaks out and the higher-ups hold people accountable, given Jiang Longjun's connections in the province, most of the responsibility will definitely be on me. It won't necessarily affect Jiang Longjun's promotion in two years, but as long as the Nanshan New District fails, the possibility of Jiang Longjun moving up a level will be almost zero, because Jiang Longjun has not made any political achievements in all these years in Shazhou, but instead created a lot of problems," Qin Feng analyzed.

"If we have to surrender, the one who surrenders is not me, but Jiang Longjun. To be precise, I don't have the ability to decide the relocation address of No. 1 Middle School."

"And the situation over there hasn't improved yet, which means Jiang Longjun hasn't surrendered to the Lixin Group, nor does he plan to surrender to the Lixin Group."

"That's why I said that Yang Zhijie made a wrong calculation and was too reckless. What happened last night was a very stupid decision for Lixin Group. The extent of the losses and troubles will be revealed in the future." Qin Feng sneered.

"Mayor, then shall we stay here and not go back?" Chen Guohua asked again.

"We have to go back, but we can't go back on our own. Jiang Longjun has to call me and beg me to go back." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Ah?" Chen Guohua was very confused by Qin Feng's words.

"Based on my understanding of our Secretary Jiang, if he doesn't call Yang Zhijie, he will definitely call me and ask me to go back to deal with this matter. He will never lead the team to charge." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"But even if we call you back, this problem may not be solved. I think the key to the problem still lies with Lixin Group." Chen Guohua said.

"You are wrong. Jiang Longjun called me back not to solve the problem, but to let me take the blame for him. He needs me to go back now and take all the responsibilities and risks for him, just like the last chemical plant explosion." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Chen Guohua frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "Humph, he is wishful thinking."

"No, I really have to go back and take the blame for him this time." Qin Feng said with a smile.
