Chapter 2808 Small Fish and Shrimp

"Mayor Yuanwei, do you have any other suggestions?" Qin Feng asked Sun Yuanwei again.

Qin Feng asked the question very skillfully. He asked, "Are there any other suggestions?" Since it was "other" and "suggestions," it meant that the things that had just been discussed did not need to be discussed anymore, and that his previous opinions should be implemented.

Qin Feng is a mayor who is willing to listen to others' opinions, but this does not mean that he is slow to act. In fact, Qin Feng has always been a decisive leader who will resolutely carry out his decisions once they are made.

Qin Feng respects Sun Yuanwei, but that's all.

“No, the mayor’s arrangement is very reasonable.” Sun Yuanwei was a smart man and understood the meaning behind Qin Feng’s words.

"What about you two? If you have any opinions, speak up now. If you have any difficulties, say them immediately. After I assign you jobs, I won't listen to you anymore." Qin Feng looked at Chen Guohua and Jiang Yunpeng.

"I don't have any major problems on my end," Chen Guohua replied, referring to the assessment work he was in charge of.

"I will resolutely carry out the mayor's decision." Jiang Yunpeng was clever; he didn't mention whether he had any opinions or difficulties, only that he would resolutely carry it out. In fact, what he said was not wrong. As the director of the Public Security Bureau, his most important responsibility was to resolutely carry out Qin Feng's decision.

Qin Feng didn't immediately assign tasks, but instead slowly lit another cigarette. This was already the third cigarette he had smoked during this meeting.

"Before assigning tasks, I'd like to reiterate the general principles. I've mentioned them before, but I want to bring them up again because they are very important. Everything must be subordinate to these principles in the process of completing this task and responding to this crisis."

"First, we must achieve the established goals of this assessment and project inspection, and resolutely carry them out."

"Second, we need to act quickly and decisively, the sooner the better."

"Third, the impact of this incident must be contained within Shazhou City. We must not allow the impact of this situation to spill over into Shazhou City."

"Fourth, and this is something I really want to mention, while adhering to the three principles mentioned above, don't have any concerns. Go all out and do it. No matter what happens or what the consequences are, as long as I, Qin Feng, am still in this position, I will take full responsibility for you and cover for you."

"Even if they eventually take me out of this position, I will find a way to continue to support you and protect you."

"This is a promise I, Qin Feng, have made to you. I will keep my word, and I hope you will complete this task without reservation or fear, in order to deal with this crisis." Qin Feng said, looking at the three people in front of him.

The three were somewhat surprised that Qin Feng would say such a thing, and their eyes involuntarily showed more respect for him. They all nodded solemnly in unison.

"Next, I'll arrange the work. First, you two should take immediate action." Qin Feng looked at Chen Guohua and Jiang Yunpeng.

"Hasn't Wei Dawei already been arrested? Didn't you say that you have all the evidence against all the criminals involved? Then there's nothing more to say. We must resolutely and thoroughly bring all the criminals involved in this attack against the government to justice. The action must be swift and the methods resolute."

"Remember, be legal and compliant, and don't leave any handle for the other party. At the same time, strengthen publicity and clearly publicize the purpose of this assessment and the other party's illegal and criminal behavior to the public. In terms of public opinion, we must turn the passive into the active and not always be on the defensive and be led by the nose."

"At the same time, we need to speed up the assessment process and take advantage of the deterrent effect of the Public Security Bureau's swift and decisive actions to handle the follow-up work as soon as possible and finish it quickly, so as to avoid any unforeseen problems that could distract us," Qin Feng said.

"Yes."

“Okay.” Jiang Yunpeng and Chen Guohua nodded quickly.

"The assessment work is relatively easy now, so the focus is on the project inspection. I've already explained how to do the project inspection; Mayor Yuanwei will make the overall arrangements, and Comrade Guohua will be mainly responsible for the assessment work, while also assisting Mayor Yuanwei," Qin Feng continued.

It's not fair to blame Qin Feng for assigning too much work to Chen Guohua. After all, Chen Guohua's position is too important and he's too versatile. Without Chen Guohua's participation, some things would be much less efficient and less flexible.

"Comrade Guohua, your job is mainly to assist Mayor Yuanwei in negotiating with these companies. This is a lot of work, and it would be difficult for Mayor Yuanwei to complete it by himself. Moreover, this is your strength."

“Okay.” Chen Guohua replied without hesitation.

"Yunpeng, you will also be responsible for cooperating with Mayor Yuanwei in the project inspection work and obeying Mayor Yuanwei's arrangements. Here I would like to emphasize a few points."

"First, no matter what method you use, there must be no deaths and no large-scale mass bloodshed."

"Secondly, I will not hold you responsible no matter how much trouble you cause in Shazhou City, but this matter cannot go beyond the scope of Shazhou City. None of the troublemakers can leave Shazhou, and at the same time, we must strictly control online public opinion."

“When I used to work in a remote village in Jiangnan Province, they had a very famous local dish called ‘small fish and shrimp.’ As you can tell from the name, it’s all small fish and shrimp caught from the river. It’s considered a river delicacy. The method is simple: first, fry them in oil, and then simmer them.”

"It's just a little different when frying. All the small fish and shrimp must be absolutely fresh, and they must be jumping around before they are put into the fryer."

"The method is simple: heat the oil until it's boiling hot, then throw the lively little fish and shrimp directly into the oil to fry."

"These small fish and shrimp will cause a huge uproar when you throw them into the oil. They'll jump around and splatter oil everywhere, and you can't stop them at all. If you're not careful, the whole pot of food will be ruined, and the whole kitchen will be destroyed as a result."

"So how do we prevent this from happening? I saw that when they were cooking, they held the fish and shrimp in one hand and the pot lid in the other. As soon as they poured the fish and shrimp into the oil, they quickly put the lid on and covered it tightly. No matter how much they jumped around in there, they made sure that none of them would jump out and not a single drop of oil would splatter out."

"There are three key points: first, the oil temperature must be high; second, the cooking speed must be fast; and third, the lid must be tightly closed. If you do these three things well, this river fish dish will be very delicious and won't make a mess of the whole kitchen."

"This time we are actually cooking small fish and shrimp from the sandbar. The key points are the same three points: don't be afraid of high heat. High heat and high oil temperature will make the fish and shrimp cook through and taste delicious. But remember to be quick, otherwise the fish and shrimp will jump out. At the same time, the lid must be closed tightly. No matter how much they jump around in the pot, as long as you close the lid tightly, they will not cause any harm."

"So you must keep the lid on the sandbar tightly closed, and not let a single fish, shrimp, or drop of oil spill out, understand?" Qin Feng gave Jiang Yunpeng a very vivid analogy.
