Chapter 2706 The arrow is on the string

Qin Feng did not return to the office, but went downstairs directly, and Chen Guohua followed him.

The driver's car was already parked downstairs waiting, and Chen Guohua followed Qin Feng and got into Qin Feng's car.

As the secretary general of the municipal government, Chen Guohua naturally has his own car, but every time he goes out with Qin Feng, as long as Qin Feng does not refuse, he will get in Qin Feng's car like a secretary.

Behind Qin Feng's car was parked Feng Changjun's car. Shortly after Qin Feng got in the car, Feng Changjun also came down from upstairs and got in the car.

Several vehicles formed a convoy and drove from the municipal government to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Qin Feng just announced the appointment at the meeting. Next, he will go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau in person to announce Jiang Yunpeng’s appointment and inspect the Municipal Public Security Bureau at the same time.

Qin Feng's purpose of personally announcing the appointment was naturally to support Jiang Yunpeng and tell everyone that Jiang Yunpeng was his, Qin Feng's, man and he valued him very much.

As the deputy mayor of justice, Feng Changjun should have gone, but considering that it would be embarrassing for him to go there, Qin Feng did not arrange for Feng Changjun to go with him. However, Feng Changjun was very sensible and took the initiative to ask to follow Qin Feng to inspect the work of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Qin Feng is very satisfied with Feng Changjun's recent "sensible" performance. This is the Feng Changjun he needs.

"Mayor, you shouldn't have said that at the meeting today. This is a trap set for you by Shao Hongli." Chen Guohua said directly to Qin Feng.

Others cannot and dare not speak to Qin Feng like this, but as the Secretary-General, Chen Guohua can and must say it.

"Of course I know that this is a trap he set for me, but should I take a detour just because he dug a small trap for me before? That would be a waste of time and effort." Qin Feng smiled.

"Shao Hongli set me up to cause trouble. He wants to force me to express my stance now, and then he can have others cause trouble, causing a big mess, and then use this opportunity to have the province punish me. Then, my stance and words today will have a big impact."

"But it doesn't matter to me. I have to do these things. If I succeed, Shao Hongli will never have the chance to set me up again. If I fail, I won't be able to continue to be the mayor."

"So this battle is crucial for me. I can only win and not lose. And the trap he dug is harmless to me. The harm can be ignored."

"The reason I'm making this statement today is, first of all, to let everyone see my determination, to deter those working on the project from slacking off, and to deter those with ulterior motives from making moves on these tasks."

"Secondly, Shao Hongli wants to play tricks of division and instigation, so I naturally have to take this opportunity to consolidate my personal prestige. This is a good opportunity."

"Guohua, one of my elders once told me a truth: playing tricks may achieve temporary success, but sooner or later it will all be paid back. Only open conspiracy is the real smooth road, so those who play tricks are destined to fail." Qin Feng said slowly.

Chen Guohua nodded and said, "I appreciate your advice. As mayor, we naturally have to resort to overt tactics, but we must also pay attention to villains like Shao Hongli. I noticed a few unusual aspects of today's meeting that deserve our attention."

"Tell me about it." Qin Feng asked.

"First, Ding Wenbo remained silent during the last meeting, but today he was quite vocal. This is unusual."

"Logically speaking, last time was the real research and deployment, and today was actually the decision-making. It's just a formality. There's no reason why they didn't express their stance last time, but reacted so strongly today."

"The second point is similar to the first. The matter was actually decided last time. What practical significance does Shao Hongli have for opposing it so fiercely at this meeting today? This is not in line with common sense." Chen Guohua said slowly.

"Tell me your judgment." Qin Feng asked.

"I think the reason Shao Hongli and Ding Wenbo were making such a fuss at today's meeting was to create a situation where they strongly opposed it, but you pushed through it regardless. Furthermore, considering that they were forcing you to take responsibility at the meeting, their purpose was clear."

"They must have some conspiracy. They are probably going to cause trouble, and it is very likely that they will make a big mess. They are doing this today to prepare in advance for holding you accountable later." Chen Guohua said so much just to remind Qin Feng of this.

"Mayor, since Shao Hongli, Ding Wenbo, and perhaps even Yang Zhijie have already made secret preparations, there must be a major conspiracy. In this situation, should we still proceed? Are we jumping into a trap knowing it's there?"

"My opinion is that we should suspend the action for safety reasons and wait and see. Once we find out what their plan is, we can evaluate whether to implement it." Chen Guohua persuaded Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smiled but didn't speak immediately.

"Guohua, first of all, I want to commend you. First, you are very perceptive and were able to detect the conspiracy of Shao Hongli and his group. And your guess should be correct. This is definitely what they planned. It's almost certain."

"Second, you're very cautious, which is very good. Only by being cautious can you go far. Being impulsive is like gambling. You can win ninety-nine times, but if you lose once, everything is gone. So we must be cautious."

"The third point is what I admire most about you. You raise ideas, questions, and even objections in your mind. This is very good. This is also the person I need most." Qin Feng first praised Chen Guohua.

"But as far as this matter is concerned, we can't stop, even though I know that Shao Hongli must have dug a trap for me, or that Lixin Group is involved in it." Qin Feng said.

"Why?" Chen Guohua didn't understand. He knew it was a trap, but he still jumped into it. Isn't that stupid? Of course, Chen Guohua didn't dare to say this out loud.

"First, as I said before, now is the best time. If we miss this opportunity, there will be no chance again. Then, it will be even more impossible to promote these actions in the future. Moreover, I have already reported this operation to Secretary Zhao and won the support of Jiang Longjun. There is no way I can stop it."

"Secondly, we have to do this sooner or later. If we don't do these things, our subsequent plans won't be able to proceed at all. Since it has to be done sooner or later, why not do it now? And no matter when we do it, Shao Hongli and the others will object and set traps for us. If we postpone this matter, will Shao Hongli just sit back and watch us wipe out all his forces? So waiting isn't a solution."

"Third, the entire Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and Government are watching us now. Everyone knows that this is an attack I launched against Shao Hongli, and Shao Hongli's attack on me at the meeting today was even more of a provocation."

"If I pause now, what do you think everyone will think of me?"

"If we stop now, we will be admitting defeat to Shao Hongli, so no matter from which perspective, we cannot stop. Now that things have come to this, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we have no choice but to go ahead. There is no turning back." Qin Feng's eyes were very firm.
