Chapter 2693 You're Too Late

"Secretary Jiang told me that Secretary Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee called him this morning. Secretary Zhao was dissatisfied with the investigation conclusions of the special task force and believed that our Shazhou did not achieve judicial fairness in assisting the investigation. In addition, Secretary Zhao was very dissatisfied with the public security environment in our Shazhou, and therefore was also dissatisfied with the work of our Shazhou Municipal Public Security Bureau." Feng Changjun went straight to the point, observing Qin Feng's expression as he spoke.

Qin Feng was of course aware that Feng Changjun was testing him, but he didn't care.

Qin Feng lit a cigarette while listening to Feng Changjun, and politely handed one to Feng Changjun as well.

"Mayor Changjun, regarding this special task force investigation, first of all, I'm involved, so it's not convenient for me to say anything. Secondly, when we were originally discussing how to handle these cases, I expressed different opinions, but you and Secretary Jiang had different opinions. In the end, I obeyed Secretary Jiang's decision."

"You are responsible for the specific handling of this case, so I am not very clear about the specific details of this case." Qin Feng said slowly, and his implication was very clear. When we were dealing with this case, you and Jiang Longjun teamed up to suppress me. Now that this matter has made the higher-ups dissatisfied, you can forget about letting me take care of this matter.

"Mayor, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else." Feng Changjun waved his hands quickly.

"Secretary Zhao believes that our Shazhou City Public Security Bureau has seriously neglected its duties in this incident, and I, as the director, should bear the main leadership responsibility." Feng Changjun looked at Qin Feng after he finished speaking.

Qin Feng leaned back on the sofa after hearing this, smoking a cigarette while asking Feng Changjun, "Did Secretary Zhao specify the specific punishment for you?"

"He will be given a warning and removed from the post of Public Security Bureau Director. He will continue to serve as Deputy Mayor. The position of Deputy Mayor will be transferred when the time is right." Feng Changjun answered honestly.

"What is Secretary Jiang's attitude?" Qin Feng continued to ask.

"Secretary Jiang said I originally couldn't even be the deputy mayor, but it was because he spoke well of me to Secretary Zhao and vouched for me that I was finally able to secure the position."

"Secretary Jiang said this is the best outcome and asked me to obey the organization's decision." Feng Changjun looked at Qin Feng again after he finished speaking. He hoped to hear Qin Feng's specific attitude from his mouth.

"So far, I haven't received any news about this. I just learned about this from you." Qin Feng said lightly.

Qin Feng was right. Although the idea was his, including the punishment for Feng Changjun, it was Qin Feng who suggested it, but Qin Feng had just heard the news.

"I will not comment on the decision made by the provincial party committee leaders. The municipal government and I will resolutely implement it. Moreover, Secretary Jiang of the municipal party committee has already reached a consensus with the provincial party committee on this matter, so we must firmly support it." Qin Feng said slowly.

"Mayor Changjun, I'll just tell you the truth. What do you want me to do today?" Qin Feng asked.

Qin Feng was very cunning. He first told Feng Changjun that he and the municipal government firmly supported the decision of the Provincial Party Committee, and then asked Feng Changjun what he wanted him to help do. How could Feng Changjun open his mouth?

"Mayor!" Feng Changjun suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Feng.

"What are you doing?" Qin Feng was a little surprised. This was not an act.

"I apologize to you!" Feng Changjun stood straight in front of Qin Feng.

"Last time when we were dealing with the Liujia Village incident, Jiang Longjun betrayed me. It was you who helped me. If you hadn't saved the day in the end, I would have been punished."

"And after that, you showed me special respect and trust, and handed over the full power of the Public Security Bureau to me."

"But I feel guilty towards you. I shouldn't have drunk Jiang Longjun's magic potion again and repaid you with ingratitude. I have been suppressing Jiang Yunpeng recently. I am not a human being." When Feng Changjun said this, he bowed to Qin Feng again.

When Feng Changjun bowed once, Qin Feng was still holding him, but when he bowed for the second time, Qin Feng just sat on the sofa smoking, accepting Feng Changjun's bow very calmly without any response.

"Why did you think of telling me all this today?" Seeing Feng Changjun standing in front of him without saying a word, obviously waiting for him to express his opinion, Qin Feng had no choice but to ask.

"Mayor, I was wrong. Not only am I a mean person who repays kindness with enmity, but I am also an ignorant fool. In this circle, people who lack self-awareness are the first to die. If I were you, I would never be soft-hearted to people like me. It is your greatest blessing to let me retain the rank of deputy director." Feng Changjun explained.

"But Mayor, I still hope you can be magnanimous and let me go this time." Feng Changjun looked at Qin Feng again.

Qin Feng took two puffs of his cigarette and asked slowly, "What's the reason?"

"I will be more useful to you if I sit in this position. Jiang Yunpeng is indeed good, very capable, and loyal to you, but no matter how capable he is, his qualifications and prestige in Shazhou are far inferior to mine. Moreover, I am still the deputy mayor. Even if you let him take over as director, he will not be promoted to deputy mayor in a short time, so he will never be more useful to you than me." Feng Changjun said.

"Secondly, you're definitely going to have to deal with the Lixin Group. It's only a matter of time. Although I've never touched on the Lixin Group's affairs over the years, I've been in this position for so many years and have experienced so much. My understanding of the Lixin Group is unmatched by most people. If you want to deal with the Lixin Group in the future, I'll be more useful than Jiang Yunpeng."

"Third, keeping me here will be a huge blow to Jiang Longjun and a big subtraction to his influence, but it will be an addition to you. One subtraction and one addition can change the current political landscape of Shazhou, and Jiang Yunpeng can't compare to this." Feng Changjun continued.

"So, Mayor, if you let me go this time, I, Feng Changjun, will work like a slave for you in the future." Feng Changjun's words had no dignity at all.

Feng Changjun was telling Qin Feng that if he let him go, he would follow Qin Feng wholeheartedly, which would be of great benefit to Qin Feng.

Feng Changjun did not fool Qin Feng. The three points he said were all real. In terms of effectiveness, three Jiang Yunpengs could not compare to one Feng Changjun.

It is because Feng Changjun is very important that Qin Feng always treats Feng Changjun with courtesy. It is also because Feng Changjun prides himself on his important position that he completely ignores Qin Feng.

"Please sit down first and talk while you sit down." Qin Feng pointed at the sofa lightly.

Hearing Qin Feng asking him to sit down, Feng Changjun was delighted, thinking that Qin Feng had relaxed, and quickly sat down.

"Mayor Changjun, if you had told me this half a month earlier, I would have been really moved, but now... it's too late!" Qin Feng said lightly.
