Chapter 2691 Blood-sucking Worms and Parasites

Chen Guohua knocked on the door and walked into Qin Feng's office.

Qin Feng is very busy and has a full schedule. Chen Guohua is very clear about Qin Feng's daily work schedule, so he takes advantage of every opportunity and rushes over to report to Qin Feng when Qin Feng has no work schedule.

Who among Qin Feng's subordinates has the busiest and most stressful job? It's none other than Chen Guohua, the chief steward.

He has to do his job well, and he has to do his job well as well as well as Qin Feng's arrangements. Even if it is not Qin Feng's arrangement, he has to pay attention to and take care of anything that involves Qin Feng and the municipal government.

The job of Secretary-General is not something that everyone can do.

Chen Guohua came today mainly to report to Qin Feng his plans and arrangements for the comprehensive assessment work that was about to be carried out.

Qin Feng nodded after listening to the report. He never doubted Chen Guohua's work ability, otherwise he would not have entrusted such an important matter to Chen Guohua.

"Just do as you say. As I said, how you do it is up to you, what I want is the result." Qin Feng handed Chen Guohua a cigarette.

"Everyone thinks that my assessment this time is simply to purge Shao Hongli's forces. What do you think?" Qin Feng leaned back in his chair and asked Chen Guohua.

Chen Guohua was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Qin Feng to ask him this question. Wasn't the answer obvious? Not only did others think so, but Chen Guohua also thought so. Otherwise, why would Qin Feng make such a big fuss about it?

However, since Qin Feng asked this, it means that Qin Feng is unhappy that others think of him this way, so this question has become a difficult problem for Chen Guohua.

"The head follows the butt. People who say these things are short-sighted." Chen Guohua cleverly chose to be vague. It seemed like he had answered, but in fact he had not answered anything.

After hearing Chen Guohua's answer, Qin Feng smiled. He could naturally guess Chen Guohua's little thoughts, but he didn't care.

"You think so too, right?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Chen Guohua was startled and quickly waved his hands, saying, "Mayor, I..."

"That's what you think. Why deny it? I don't blame you. The whole sandbar thinks the same."

"And it's not wrong to think so. I was indeed going after Shao Hongli. This is an open secret and I never deny it." Qin Feng added.

"Publicly, if Shao Hongli's influence is not eliminated, the city government will never have peace. It will always be in internal friction, unable to accomplish anything, and will be in long-term chaos. Most of the major incidents we have encountered in recent times are related to the chaos within the city government."

"Personally, Shao Hongli has tried to kill me time and again. Should I even be polite to him?"

"During my time in prison, the entire city government was in a state of panic. A large portion of the people exposed their hidden agenda. Even after I returned, many people were still plotting against me, wondering if I would be jailed again and if I could return safely next time."

"So I have to flex my muscles this time. First, to show those who want to attack me whether I, Qin Feng, am a sick cat or a tiger, and whether I will bite people if I am forced into a corner. Secondly, to show those who are indecisive, so that they can put away those unnecessary thoughts and work steadily." Qin Feng said with a smile while smoking.

"These are all reasons, and they are also the reasons why I want to launch this action, but they are not all the reasons." Qin Feng changed the subject.

"Although I've only worked in Jiangnan Province, I've experienced several cities. Some are rich, some are poor, some have good geographical locations, and some have extremely harsh geographical conditions. In comparison, Shazhou isn't great, but it's definitely not bad either."

"But Sandbar is the worst city I've ever lived in."

"Some cities have rotten exteriors, but their internal organs are healthy. This kind of rot is probably just a superficial wound. It will heal slowly after disinfection and bandaging."

"But Shazhou is different. Shazhou appears healthy on the surface, but is actually in the late stage of cancer."

"Someone once described the sandbar to me this way. He said that in some cities, the leaves turn yellow and the bark falls off, but the roots buried underground are intact. As soon as the spring breeze blows, these trees will start to sprout again, and in two to three years, they will become towering green trees again."

"A sandbar is a tree that looks very strong on the outside, with a sturdy trunk and lush branches. There's nothing wrong with it, but in reality the trunk has long been eaten away by insects, and the roots in the soil below have long since rotted away."

"When winter comes and a north wind blows, he will collapse completely. Death will happen in an instant." Qin Feng flicked the ash off his cigarette.

"You know better than me whether these two metaphors are correct. The severity of the sandbar problem is self-evident. It's just that Lixin Group and Jiang Longjun deliberately concealed it, so it still looks strong on the outside."

"Just like the metaphor says, if there's a strong wind, the sandbar tree will collapse and die."

"If Shazhou collapses, the Lixin Group won't be able to escape, and the related interest groups will certainly be punished. But ultimately, the people of Shazhou will suffer the most, as they are the most innocent. If Shazhou really collapses, there will be no development for 20 years, and the people of Shazhou will suffer not only this generation of people, but also the next generation."

"If I hadn't come to Shazhou, if I wasn't the mayor of Shazhou, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess, let alone meddle in these matters."

"But since the organization has asked me to come to Shazhou to be the mayor, even if I don't want to, I have to take charge. I can't just watch Shazhou fall, and I can't watch the people of Shazhou suffer."

“So even though I knew Shazhou was in the late stages of cancer, I still had to save him.”

"How can we save Shazhou? Ultimately, there are two reasons. Externally, there are interest groups like the Lixin Group sucking blood from the Shazhou government and residents. Internally, there are a large number of borers sucking the tree trunks."

"Shao Hongli and his influence are only part of the Lixin Group, a group of interest groups. The vast majority of corrupt officials do not belong to Shao Hongli, let alone the Lixin Group."

"Look at the various departments and leaders in Shazhou. What kind of behavior are they all carrying? Corruption, bureaucracy, laziness, and so on. These are what I call termites."

"Shao Hongli's forces are like a giant blood-sucking worm, while these corrupt elements are like invisible, small termites. The big blood-sucking worms suck a lot of blood, but their numbers are limited, and they are also very easy to defeat."

"What's really hard to deal with are these parasites and worms that infest the body's organs and blood. They're so small you can't see them, but they can damage your bone marrow."

“To save the sandbar, we must not only kill the blood-sucking insects, but also eliminate these borers.”

"Secretary-General, what I'm telling you today is that you must be clear about Shao Hongli's power, but at the same time, you must also use this assessment to find out those normally invisible parasites and termites, clean them out, and replace them with fresh blood. Only in this way can you save Shazhou and have a future." Qin Feng finally said earnestly.
