Chapter 2526: Appeasing the Villagers

Sun Yuanwei frowned and said nothing. Obviously, he didn't understand why Qin Feng would say such childish words. This was not the behavior of a mature politician.

"Mayor Sun, you have to persuade him. We have to find a way to make this happen. You know, it's basically impossible to catch the real criminals this time, let alone catch them all."

"As a mayor, he made such a promise, which is impossible to fulfill. What will he do then? If the people really make a fuss and bring out the video, even if his superiors don't want to remove him from office, they may have no choice but to deal with him like this in the end." Chen Guohua said hurriedly.

Sun Yuanwei did not answer, but said: "The mayor must have his considerations. Let's go and ask him and see what his plan is."

Qin Feng was shouting in the crowd with a hoarse throat. At this time, Zhou Mincheng ran over and whispered in Qin Feng's ear: "Mayor, Mayor Yuan Wei and the Secretary General are here. They have work to report to you."

"Mayor Yuanwei?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrong. Isn't Sun Yuanwei in the hospital?

Qin Feng turned around and saw Sun Yuanwei and Chen Guohua there. As Qin Feng was in the crowd, they couldn't get in.

When Qin Feng saw the IV in Sun Yuanwei's hand, he couldn't help but frowned, and then handed the loudspeaker to the staff next to him: "Organize it well, don't let any falls or trampling accidents happen."

"Mayor Yuan Wei, why did you come here again if you weren't recuperating in the hospital? You're even on an IV drip. Chen Guohua, what the hell is going on with you? Why don't you let Mayor Yuan Wei recuperate in the hospital?" Qin Feng pointed his finger at Chen Guohua.

"Mayor, don't blame the Secretary General. I insisted on coming back, and the Secretary General couldn't stop me."

"How could you not listen to the doctor? Go back to the hospital quickly and arrange a car." Qin Feng said.

"Mayor, such a big thing has happened here. Even if you force me to stay in the hospital, I won't be able to calm down and recuperate. For me, staying here will make me feel more at ease and more comfortable."

"I went to the hospital for a checkup and it was fine. Although I was hit a few times by that guy, it wasn't too hard. The main problem was that my blood sugar and blood pressure were high, so I fainted."

"I took the medicine and I'm on an IV drip, but it's no problem. I'm fine now," Sun Yuanwei explained.

Qin Feng took a look, then said to Zhou Mincheng: "Ask Fuchang District to organize a medical rescue team and have them stand by at the district government."

The purpose of this medical rescue team is to prevent any further accidents and to prevent any accidents from happening to Sun Yuanwei's body.

"Mayor, you made them listen to you with just a few words. I really admire you. Director Zhou just showed me the video of your speech, and I benefited a lot from it. In terms of age, qualifications and experience, I am much older than you, but in terms of the ability to deal with people's problems, I am not as good as you." Sun Yuanwei said.

"Mayor Yuan Wei, let's not do this at this time. I have no choice but to do this. It's too extreme. No matter what, we must ease the emotions of the people so that the problem will not get worse."

"The next thing we need to do is to find a way to persuade them to go home. With so many people staying here all night, who knows what accidents might happen? And tomorrow is Monday, and the entire Fuchang District Government will not be working. If the District Government is occupied on a weekday, then Shazhou will really be the first one in the world."

"So Mayor Yuan Wei, let's do it in two steps. My idea is to first invite the elderly and influential people in the village to sit down and talk with them one by one. We should explain the real situation to them. The people are willing to discuss and reason. As long as we pay attention to the way and method of working, they will definitely understand us."

"The second thing is to organize everyone to go to the auditorium to rest. I have asked them to organize food and drinks for everyone, and then arrange the bus. After we finish the ideological work of the elderly in the village, we will let the bus take everyone back." Qin Feng told Sun Yuanwei about his plan.

"The mayor's arrangement is very reasonable and warm. No wonder the people are willing to listen to you. But mayor, there are two difficulties here. First, the elderly in the village are indeed reasonable. I have been in contact with them for more than half a month and they are all acquaintances. I feel this deeply."

"But the problem now is that we are the ones who are unreasonable. So many people have been killed and injured, but we haven't caught anyone yet. The people's demands are not high either. They just want all the criminals to be arrested and executed. This is a reasonable request, and it's what we should do."

"As long as we can catch the murderer, we can find a way to deal with this matter, but we can't do that with the current problem." Sun Yuanwei sighed.

If the Municipal Public Security Bureau could have caught the man, with Sun Yuanwei's work ability and influence in Shazhou, he would have settled the matter long ago, and the scene that evening would not have happened.

"Mayor, how can you promise them that you will resign if you can't catch the person? This...what if you really can't catch the person, then...then..." Chen Guohua took over the conversation.

Chen Guohua knew that Sun Yuanwei had deliberately conveyed the message here, but Sun Yuanwei cunningly did not say this directly. Chen Guohua had no choice but to take the initiative to act as this "honest minister".

Qin Feng was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and turned to see that the villagers were still entering the venue in an orderly manner. He then said to Zhou Mincheng, "Let Fuchang District organize a meeting and invite the prestigious and representative villagers in Liujia Village to come and hold a meeting together. Let's find a place to sit for a while. Mayor Yuan Wei is still on IV drip."

Qin Feng, Sun Yuanwei, Chen Guohua and others entered the small conference room of the municipal government.

"I know that Mayor Yuan Wei and the Secretariat must have a lot of opinions about the promise I made to the villagers. Do you think that I, as the mayor, am too naive? I don't even have the most basic political wisdom. Not only did I tell the truth, but I also took the initiative to make a promise, and I made it by resigning. Isn't this just digging a hole for myself and burying myself in it?"

Qin Feng laughed when he said this and lit a cigarette.

"You all know the situation today. Mayor Yuan Wei just said that the biggest problem now is that we can't catch the perpetrators, so the villagers are angry. The later we catch them, the more the people will think we are up to something, and the less trust they will have in us, the worse they will like us, and the harder it will be to do our job."

"And like I said just now, we must appease the villagers tonight no matter what, and then find a way to persuade them to go back, otherwise something big will definitely happen. Also, tomorrow morning a district government office will be occupied by the people, and this news will be impossible to conceal. Once things ferment by then, you know the consequences. I will definitely not be able to be the mayor." Qin Feng smiled bitterly.
