Chapter 2705 I will take responsibility alone

Shao Hongli was directly challenging Qin Feng, and the provocation in his words was too strong.

"If you think there is a problem with my performance as mayor, you can report it to the municipal party committee or the provincial government. Not only you, but everyone present has this power." Qin Feng was not angered by Shao Hongli.

"Of course we need to reflect on it, but that's not the question I want to ask you today. I only want to ask you one question today."

"Our sandbar is currently in a turbulent time. Major events have occurred one after another recently, and the entire sandbar is in an unstable situation."

"For our city government, the most important thing to do now is to maintain stability. But you are forcibly implementing these radical policies at this time. Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so? Have you ever thought about what kind of situation you will face later?"

"If an uncontrollable situation arises because you forcefully implement these radical policies, who will bear the responsibility? Will it be you, Qin Feng, alone, or will it be borne by all of us?" Shao Hongli stared at Qin Feng and asked.

After Shao Hongli finished speaking, everyone fell silent and the entire conference room was silent.

Shao Hongli was forcing Qin Feng to express his position. You must know that every word and action at this meeting will be recorded, and once the promise is made, the responsibility must be borne.

Shao Hongli asked in front of so many people for two purposes. One was to leave Qin Feng with no way out. If Qin Feng didn't say anything and took the responsibility alone, it would greatly damage his prestige. If he said anything, it would be like digging a trap for himself.

Secondly, Shao Hongli asked this question deliberately to alienate Qin Feng and other municipal government leaders present.

At this level, everyone plays high-end games.

Qin Feng was indeed in a dilemma. Shao Hongli's questioning seemed childish and had no practical significance, but it was actually very sinister.

Just when Qin Feng was unsure how to respond, Sun Yuanwei slowly said, "I'm really confused as to your purpose in asking this. First, this decision was made by everyone, a joint decision of the Standing Committee. If anything goes wrong, we all share the responsibility. Why would you single out the mayor for sole responsibility? If that's the case, then does that mean the mayor can make all decisions on his own, without going through the Standing Committee?"

"Secondly, whoever proposes a suggestion must bear responsibility. So, Shao Hongli, how about we go through all the policy suggestions that Shazhou City has made in recent years and discuss how many of them were yours, how many went wrong, and for which you ultimately took responsibility?"

Sun Yuanwei and Shao Hongli are sworn enemies, so Sun Yuanwei showed no mercy when he criticized Shao Hongli. Every word he said hit Shao Hongli's soft spot, making Shao Hongli blush and unable to refute at all.

"Sun Yuanwei, please stop being unreasonable here. I'm just discussing the facts. Ask yourself, if these things move forward, will they cause a huge stir? Will they cause chaos? What consequences can you foresee?"

"Can our sandbar withstand such turmoil in its current state? Since someone wants to advance by force, someone must come out to take responsibility. They can't drag all of us to take the blame, right?" Shao Hongli continued to sow discord and stir up other people's emotions.

Qin Feng could see through Shao Hongli's plan, and Sun Yuanwei naturally knew it clearly as well, but he could not refute it because Shao Hongli was telling the truth and he had tied the others together with him.

"If we must find someone to take responsibility for any problems that may arise, then whoever is responsible should bear the responsibility. The mayor has just made it very clear that I am responsible for the project inspection. If any problems arise in this work, then the responsibility will naturally fall on me."

"Similarly, if there are any problems with the assessment work, Comrade Guohua will be held responsible. If there are any problems with the crackdown, Comrade Changjun should also be held responsible. This is the established practice. What is there to argue about?"

"But you, when the proposal was made, strongly opposed it, and now you are here to ask for accountability when the objection failed. What is your intention? Don't forget, you are the executive vice mayor. You should know what executive means. If you are so afraid of taking responsibility, I advise you to apply for resignation from the organization as soon as possible, so that even if the sky falls, it won't crush you." Sun Yuanwei sneered at Shao Hongli.

Shao Hongli was so angry and embarrassed by Sun Yuanwei's sarcasm that he slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Sun Yuanwei and prepared to scold him.

"Enough, don't forget who you are, and don't forget where you are. If you want to curse, go to the vegetable market." Qin Feng shouted immediately when he saw Shao Hongli's expression.

After being yelled at by Qin Feng, Shao Hongli had no choice but to shut up and sit down obediently.

"Since some comrades are here to investigate who will bear responsibility for the problems, this matter does not need to be discussed, and should not be discussed. The municipal government and the executive meeting are a whole. We are a group, a team, and we conduct joint research and make collective decisions."

"But since Comrade Shao Hongli insists on asking for the truth today, then fine, I'll express my position here today, and I also ask everyone here to express their views."

"The several tasks to be promoted this time are indeed major events and will definitely trigger some reactions. If they cause social chaos and lead to serious problems, the work was proposed by me and the final decision was made by me. If anyone is held accountable, I, Qin Feng, will bear the responsibility alone." Qin Feng's words were sonorous and powerful.

Qin Feng's statement surprised everyone present. The most taboo thing in officialdom is to put a hat on oneself and put a burden on one's shoulders. Everyone can see that this is Shao Hongli's conspiracy, but Qin Feng actually fell for Shao Hongli's trick.

Sun Yuanwei frowned. He had taken the initiative to put the responsibility on himself, Chen Guohua and Feng Changjun in order to bear the pressure from Shao Hongli for Qin Feng and to rescue Qin Feng. He did not expect that Qin Feng would take the initiative to stand up.

"But at the same time, I also want to make a request. In the advancement of these tasks, I hope everyone will fully cooperate and never allow anyone to sabotage or hinder us, either openly or secretly. If anyone dares to make trouble in these tasks, I will definitely punish them severely. Don't accuse me of making a fuss or being merciless." Qin Feng looked at Shao Hongli coldly and spoke word by word.

"Any other opinions?" Qin Feng asked Shao Hongli.

"Since the mayor is willing to bear all the consequences alone, then I naturally have no objection. Write down every word the mayor says." Shao Hongli said to the clerk.

Looking at Shao Hongli's villainous appearance, Qin Feng sneered. Although this was Shao Hongli's conspiracy, it was at most a "trivial trick" and could not affect the overall situation.

"Let's adjourn the meeting!" Qin Feng stood up and walked out.
