Chapter 2562: Shazhou This Stinky Ditch

Qin Feng smoked a cigarette and listened quietly to Liu Xiaonan's story. Liu Xiaonan kept crying, and Qin Feng kept handing her tissues.

If it were five years ago, Qin Feng would definitely be very angry when hearing this, but now Qin Feng was very calm when hearing what Liu Xiaonan said.

It's not that Qin Feng has lost his sense of right and wrong and compassion, but because the longer he serves as an official, the more such things he encounters. The higher the position he holds, the more grand the way he looks at problems becomes, and it is difficult for him to get angry over a trivial matter.

Just like what Qin Feng heard from Liu Xiaonan, he had seen and heard too many things like this over the years, and there were many things that were more serious and worse than this one, so when he heard about Liu Xiaonan's story again, it was difficult for him to express the uncontrollable anger.

Moreover, with his current status, the first thing he considered when he heard about this was the problems existing in the entire system, and it was difficult for his thoughts to be limited to such a small matter.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Qin Feng was no longer angry. He was still very angry after hearing it, but this anger was rational and calm, which is a necessary quality for a superior.

After Liu Xiaonan finished speaking, Qin Feng slowly asked, "Which county is your family from? I remember I asked you last time, but I forgot."

"Yongyi County."

"Oh, Yongyi County, okay, I know about this. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter." Although Qin Feng said it calmly, his tone was firm.

Hearing that Qin Feng was going to explain to her, Liu Xiaonan stood up in panic and said quickly: "Mayor, I...I..."

"Please sit down." Qin Feng smiled. He knew why Liu Xiaonan was nervous.

"As the mayor, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this kind of thing."

"Mayor, that's not what I meant..." Liu Xiaonan panicked again.

"However, your case obviously does not reflect a problem that only exists in your village or township. From what I know, the entire Yongyi County has considerable problems. I cannot promise you now that I can solve the stubborn problems in Yongyi County in one fell swoop, but I will definitely seek justice for you in this case." Qin Feng said to Liu Xiaonan seriously.

Liu Xiaonan looked at Qin Feng gratefully, then knelt down in front of Qin Feng again, and began to kowtow: "Thank you... Thank you..."

"Why are you kneeling again? Get up quickly. If you kneel again, I will have nothing to do with you." Qin Feng pretended to be angry and helped Liu Xiaonan up.

"Well, you wait here at the door tomorrow morning. When my secretary Zhang Xinming comes to pick me up, tell him your situation in detail. Tell him that I asked you to report to him, and he will take care of all the follow-up matters for you." Qin Feng thought for a moment and said to Liu Xiaonan.

"Yes, thank you, Mayor, thank you!" Liu Xiaonan was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

"Okay, don't think too much. Pack up and go back to rest." Qin Feng comforted Liu Xiaonan.

After Liu Xiaonan cleaned up the things on the table and left, Qin Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window smoking a cigarette.

The longer Qin Feng stayed in Shazhou and the more he understood Shazhou, the more he could feel how bad Shazhou was.

Qin Feng once thought that the root cause of Shazhou's "rottenness" was the interest group of the entire political and business system represented by the Lixin Group. Later, Qin Feng realized that Shazhou's rottenness was also due to the fact that a group of leading cadres headed by Jiang Longjun did not dare to and did not want to offend the interest group represented by the Lixin Group for their own interests and did not take action.

Now, Qin Feng believes that the rottenness of Shazhou is also due to the lack of ideals and beliefs among the entire group of leading cadres and the failure of system supervision.

The sandbar did not rot from the bottom up, nor from the top down, but it rotted completely from the branches and leaves to the trunk and roots.

Since Qin Feng entered politics, he has worked in many regions and cities, including remote ones like Xiquan, poor ones like Yian, and wealthy ones like Zhongjiang. These places all have their own problems, but they are only problems in one aspect or one area. Unlike Shazhou, the whole place is rotten to the root.

Qin Feng previously thought that Qi Yaqiu's death was due to the fact that the interest groups represented by Lixin Group were too ruthless and unscrupulous. But now, Qin Feng believes that Qi Yaqiu's death is almost inevitable.

A clean water fish came into a stinky ditch. There were only two possible outcomes for the clean water fish: either it would become a stinky water fish like the stinky ditch, or it would die in the stinky ditch. It was impossible for a clean water fish to change the stinky ditch.

Shazhou is the stinky ditch and Qi Yaqiu is the clear water fish.

Qi Yaqiu, the clean water fish, had died in the stinking ditch on Shazhou, and now Qin Feng had become the second clean water fish.

The task that Vice Minister Hong gave Qin Feng was ostensibly to investigate the Lixin Group and Qi Yaqiu's death, but in reality it was to eliminate the entire interest group headed by the Lixin Group and thoroughly clean up the stinking ditch of Shazhou.

Qin Feng has been in Shazhou for several months. He has taken some actions and achieved some results. Today, Qin Feng can finally say that he has completely established a firm foothold in Shazhou. However, he knows very well that he is still a long way to go before completing the task assigned to him by Deputy Minister Hong. Every day he stays in Shazhou, he has a deeper understanding of the bad things in Shazhou.

When Qin Feng was standing there sighing, the voice of WeChat rang out.

Qin Feng usually doesn't care much about the WeChat notification sound on his mobile phone, because he receives too many WeChat messages on his mobile phone during the day, and most of these messages are group messages.

As the mayor, Qin Feng could not escape various work groups, but the work groups he joined were all high-level groups, so there would be no messy arrangements, but these groups still had routine work reports and arrangements every day.

Apart from the work group, not many people chat or report with Qin Feng on WeChat alone, and no one reports work to the mayor on WeChat.

Qin Feng took a few puffs of his cigarette, then walked over, picked up his phone and took a look. He thought it was another routine work report from a working group of which he was the team leader, but he didn't expect that the message was sent by Yang Yuxin.

Qin Feng opened it and took a look. What Yang Yuxin sent him was a photo. In the photo was a dark field, and vaguely you could see the vast prairie outside. Yang Yuxin took a photo of the sky over the vast prairie, with the bright moon and shining stars complementing each other.

Qin Feng has never seen Yang Yuxin since the last time he went out with her. During that time, Yang Yuxin took the initiative to ask Qin Feng out once, but Qin Feng refused. Since then, Yang Yuxin has never asked Qin Feng out again.

However, although they have never made an appointment, Yang Yuxin would occasionally send Qin Feng a message, sometimes with a screenshot of her running count, and sometimes with a picture of a new coffee variety she developed.
