Chapter 2814 The "Obedient" Mayor
Although Qin Feng had taken the initiative to meet Jiang Longjun and had already expressed a humble attitude when he came, Jiang Longjun still had no intention of letting Qin Feng off the hook. He was now reprimanding Qin Feng in the manner of a leader reprimanding a subordinate. Jiang Longjun wanted to completely "tame" Qin Feng.
As the mayor, Qin Feng was treated like a "grandson" by Jiang Longjun. It was impossible for him not to be angry, but since he had prepared himself to be a "grandson" before coming today, he was able to restrain himself and sat there without saying a word.
Seeing that Qin Feng did not refute or talk back, and behaved very "docilely," Jiang Longjun was satisfied again, and his tone also became docile.
"Qin Feng, I'm not saying that the inspection of this project you've undertaken is wrong; I support it. But whatever we do, we must consider the overall situation, stability, and politics."
"Before taking action, you should prepare contingency plans in advance and anticipate all possible situations. This way, you will know what you should and should not do, and what countermeasures you should prepare in advance."
“There is a priority in everything we do. You can find one or two of the less important projects as examples and deal with them seriously. But major projects like the sports center and the sewage pipe renovation involve the interests of many parties and the stability of the entire sandbar. We should be very cautious and not be too harsh when we start.”
"But you've completely reversed the order of things. You've shown leniency to those other projects, but you've been ruthless towards these key projects. Look at the situation now!" Jiang Longjun said.
Qin Feng gleaned from Jiang Longjun's words that although Jiang Longjun appeared to be sitting in the background and not involved in these matters, he was actually keeping a close eye on his every move; otherwise, he wouldn't have such a clear understanding of these things.
"Yes, yes, yes, the secretary is right. We did make some misjudgments when deploying this project inspection work. I bear the main leadership responsibility, and I apologize to the secretary." Qin Feng did not make any excuses and directly admitted his mistakes and apologized.
Qin Feng's "docile" attitude left Jiang Longjun somewhat at a loss for words.
"Qin Feng, I'm not saying this to hold anyone accountable. I called you here today mainly to ask what to do about this matter and how to handle it. You should be able to recognize the seriousness of this matter." Jiang Longjun's tone softened considerably.
“Secretary, this morning I had a serious discussion about this matter with Sun Yuanwei and several other comrades, and we also made some plans to deal with it. Our plan is to first go and negotiate with the construction companies of the two projects. If there are any problems or difficulties, we will help them solve them, and at the same time put pressure on them to urge them to resume work as soon as possible.”
"Regarding the migrant workers' emotions, we have already arranged for the labor department to go and investigate the issue of unpaid wages. We will handle this as a special case and try our best to ensure that the migrant workers' wages are paid as soon as possible. At the same time, we have arranged for personnel to go and do ideological work. The comrades from the Public Security Bureau will also pay close attention and will never allow the matter to escalate further." Qin Feng reported earnestly to Jiang Longjun.
After listening to Qin Feng's words, Jiang Longjun remained silent for a moment, but his expression revealed that he was very dissatisfied with Qin Feng's response.
Jiang Longjun slowly stood up from his desk: "Come on, Qin Feng, sit on the sofa and try the newly arrived Genting."
Jiang Longjun walked to the sofa and sat down, then began to fiddle with the tea set on the coffee table. Qin Feng also made no attempt to be polite and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.
"Try it and see how it tastes." Jiang Longjun personally brewed a cup for Qin Feng.
"Very good." Qin Feng nodded.
"Qin Feng, if this were a normal situation, or a typical project problem, your approach would be fine. But you need to understand, this isn't a typical project. Don't you know exactly what's going on here? Do you really think your approach will work?"
“You can’t possibly not see that this is a joint operation by Shao Hongli and Yang Zhijie, aimed at countering your project inspection campaign. As long as you don’t stop investigating the projects, their actions against these projects will not cease,” Jiang Longjun stated bluntly.
"I've figured it out. They're targeting me, so I've taken countermeasures." Qin Feng nodded.
"How will you deal with this?"
"I instructed Comrade Yuanwei to coordinate with them using the methods I just described, and to urge them to resume work and production as soon as possible. If they listen, everything will continue as before. If they don't listen and insist on going against the government, then I will have no choice but to terminate the construction agreement with them in accordance with laws, regulations, and the agreement, forcibly clear the site, and introduce a new construction team to carry out the construction." Qin Feng answered calmly.
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Jiang Longjun looked incredulous and raised his voice again: "Qin Feng, although you are young, I have always thought that you are quite mature in politics, but I did not expect you to be so naive."
"Terminate the agreement and forcibly clear the site—is it as easy as you say? How many complicated issues are involved? Can't it be resolved in a year or two? You mean these projects will be suspended for a year or two?"
"Furthermore, you need to understand that this is a sandbar. There are clearly the shadows of Shao Hongli and Lixin Group behind this. Do you think they would let you clear the area smoothly? Would they let a new construction company enter the site smoothly? And which construction company would dare to take over?"
"Qin Feng, be rational. If you do this, you'll fall completely into their trap. They're just waiting for you to jump in. If you dare to take this step, you won't even have a chance to turn back."
“To tell you the truth, Shao Hongli came to see me this morning and talked to me about this matter. He said that according to the information he received, several other major construction projects in Shazhou have also indicated that they will stop work. They have secretly formed an alliance and will not only stop work in unison, but they have also been secretly organizing migrant workers to cause trouble. This time, their goal is to go directly to the province.”
"Qin Feng, did you hear that clearly? This is what Shao Hongli told me personally. Do you understand what he means?" Jiang Longjun asked, looking at Qin Feng.
"I understood." Qin Feng nodded, his expression unchanged.
"He's blatantly threatening you and me, Qin Feng. Stop! Think about the consequences of this. If something really goes wrong, you can't bear the responsibility, and neither can I. Let me be clear, you can't beat them on Shazhou. If you stop now, there's still room for maneuver," Jiang Longjun said.
Qin Feng had already guessed Jiang Longjun's attitude before he came, so he wasn't surprised at all. He directly asked Jiang Longjun, "Secretary, did Shao Hongli mention his conditions?"
