Chapter 2720 Reacquaintance with Yang Yuxin

After Yang Yuxin finished speaking, Qin Feng looked at Yang Yuxin with strange eyes. Qin Feng suddenly realized that his previous impression of this woman was completely wrong, or just superficial. Today he really understood the woman in front of him.

"Have you always been interested in politics or is it because of me that you started to understand these things?" Qin Feng clinked glasses with Yang Yuxin.

"I'm just a university teacher and an ordinary woman. I'm not interested in these things. Who becomes the mayor and who holds power has nothing to do with an ordinary citizen like me. But it's different now because my man is the mayor." Yang Yuxin said.

"Then tell me what you think about the centralized assessment policy I am promoting this time." Qin Feng ignored Yang Yuxin's "corny" words and asked Yang Yuxin seriously.

This was also the first serious sentence Qin Feng said to Yang Yuxin tonight. Before that, he was basically perfunctory.

"From the perspective of an ordinary citizen, I definitely support this. Official corruption and rampant bureaucracy in Shazhou have been going on for a long time. The people of Shazhou have long been dissatisfied, but they dare not speak out."

"If you conduct this assessment and remove all these problematic cadres, the people will definitely support you."

"But Qin Feng, you also have to know that the situation in Shazhou is different from other places. The opinions of ordinary people in other places represent public opinion and the opinions of the main forces in society."

"But this is not the case in Shazhou. The opinions of ordinary people in Shazhou are not important because there is a huge interest group in Shazhou that suppresses ordinary people. They are the most powerful force in Shazhou."

"The bureaucracy and Shao Hongli's influence that you want to combat in this assessment are both part of this interest group. Although ordinary people support you, this interest group will not let you go. They won't sit idly by and watch you harm their interests."

"So, I think they will definitely not let you complete this assessment smoothly."

"I've read the press release, which details the assessment method being implemented this time. Your assessment this time is comprehensive and rigorous. Most importantly, it's a routine assessment, occurring every two years. This is the most crucial aspect."

"This assessment may not deal a fundamental blow to them, but your biennial assessments will sever their foundation, leaving them with no ground for survival. Therefore, they will definitely not allow you to successfully complete this initial phase."

"I can conclude that they will do something to stop you from carrying out this centralized assessment." Yang Yuxin said seriously.

Qin Feng was smoking, drinking and eating with a serious expression, listening to Yang Yuxin's analysis very carefully.

After listening to Yang Yuxin's analysis, Qin Feng did not respond, but silently took the bottle and filled Yang Yuxin's glass with wine.

He was worried about Yang Yuxin drinking before, but after seeing Yang Yuxin drink a few glasses without changing her expression, he knew how much Yang Yuxin could drink, so he was no longer worried.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Yang Yuxin asked after seeing Qin Feng remained silent.

Qin Feng shook his head. "No, your analysis is spot on. It really impressed me, Yuxin. I've only just begun to truly understand you today. You don't work within the system, but you understand politics and power struggles better than many who have worked there their entire lives. And you're a woman."

"Of course, I don't look down on women. It's just that politics has always been a men's arena, and not many women are interested in it."

"You are an exception, and it also surprised me." Qin Feng exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Your analysis is correct, but not entirely. They will definitely try to stop me from carrying out the assessment. However, their method of obstruction may not be aimed at the assessment itself, but may also be directed at me."

"And what I'm most worried about isn't the assessment. After all, the assessment is the city government's right, and it's legitimate and legal. They naturally want to stop the assessment, but there's only so much they can do about it."

"So they only have two options. The first is what I mentioned earlier: target me personally. If they get rid of me, the assessment process will naturally be halted."

"Is the other one you mentioned the comprehensive inspection of major projects that you are promoting at the same time?" Yang Yuxin asked.

Qin Feng was surprised again, then nodded. Now he was no longer surprised.

"You're very smart. Yes, what I'm most worried about isn't the assessment work, but the inspection of major projects. Compared to the assessment work, this work is more fatal to them, and they have more and more flexible means to counterattack."

"These major projects are strategic projects for our Shazhou. They require huge investments, have a great social impact, and involve many stakeholders. Each project affects the development and stability of the entire Shazhou."

"I do this work because these projects are so important, and I worry about them precisely because they are so important. If something goes wrong, it will be a big problem."

"It doesn't matter that I, Qin Feng, lost my official hat, but because of this, the comrades who followed me were implicated and the interests of the people of Shazhou were damaged. I can't bear it, I can't accept it, and I can't forgive myself." Qin Feng put out the cigarette butt and lowered his head to take a sip of wine.

"Qin Feng, I don't quite understand why you're so radical? Why do you want to do all these tasks at the same time? Can't you just do them one at a time?"

"I've carefully analyzed your work rhythm since taking office. Before this incident, you've always been extremely cautious and careful. You've rarely taken the initiative to implement major initiatives, and the few times you've done so have been passive."

"But this time after you came back, you seemed like a completely different person. Your working style became very radical. Why is that?" Yang Yuxin asked.

Qin Feng became more and more confused about Yang Yuxin. This woman understood him even better than his secretary Zhang Xinming who was with him every day.

Qin Feng lit another cigarette and took two puffs before slowly speaking to Yang Yuxin, "Let me give you an analogy. Two people are fighting. At the beginning, both sides attack each other with fists and legs. Although they use force, the damage is limited and will not endanger their lives."

"But if the other person suddenly pulls out a knife and slashes at you, the nature of the situation changes completely because it's no longer a fight, it's murder. He's already trying to kill you."

"You were quick-eyed and lucky, so you dodged the knife that was coming at you. What will you do next? Will you continue to fight with your fists and feet, or will you turn around and pick up the bricks on the ground to give him a fatal blow?" Qin Feng asked Yang Yuxin.
