Chapter 2818 Waiting for him to apologize
Qin Feng's meeting with Yu Hanyi, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was related to performance evaluation and project inspection. Both the evaluation and the project inspection had uncovered numerous clues of illegal, irregular, and disciplinary violations, all of which involved public officials, and quite a few of them. Therefore, Qin Feng needed to personally communicate with Yu Hanyi to establish a clear direction.
Qin Feng will definitely talk about the names on the note he gave Jiang Longjun today, and that's the main reason he went to find Yu Hanyi. Compared to that, the previous things are just trivial matters.
Whether it was the personnel found to have violated discipline during the performance evaluation or the public officials found to have violated laws and regulations during the project evaluation, their ranks were not high. Although they were the core of Shao Hongli's power base, they were not the core personnel.
The list of people he gave Jiang Longjun consisted of influential figures in the Shazhou Municipal Bureau, holding very important positions, similar to key personnel in key positions like Chang Yunbing before them.
That's why Jiang Longjun said after seeing the list that Qin Feng was planning to uproot Shao Hongli completely. The most important thing is that if Qin Feng takes down these people, he can still find a way to promote his own people, which is very important to him.
Qin Feng's meeting with Propaganda Minister Wu Jing was purely to prepare for the project's shutdown crisis. In handling this matter, Shao Hongli and Yang Zhijie had an important tactic: public opinion and propaganda. They wanted to use the power of public opinion to make the matter bigger.
Qin Feng had suffered a great loss in this regard before, and almost went to jail because of public opinion. It was from that time that Qin Feng realized the power of public opinion.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Qin Feng was trying to find a way to completely block their propaganda offensive, at least to keep the public opinion within Shazhou City, and to prevent the matter from spreading outside of Shazhou.
To this end, Qin Feng deployed three measures to deal with the situation. The first measure was naturally Jiang Yunpeng's Public Security Bureau. Half a month ago, Qin Feng instructed Jiang Yunpeng's Public Security Bureau to pay close attention to online public opinion, especially all public opinion related to the assessment work and project inspection. As soon as someone was found to have posted relevant negative information online, they were to immediately find the person who posted it and make them take down the relevant comments.
This tactic only works on individuals, not the media. At this point, the Publicity Department needs to step in and take unified control of the media in Shazhou City to prevent negative comments from appearing. Qin Feng came to see Wu Jing today hoping the Publicity Department would cooperate in controlling public opinion.
However, in the era of social media, it is difficult for both the Public Security Bureau and the Propaganda Department to completely control the spread of public opinion, especially since the other side has forces like the Lixin Group behind it.
This is also why Lixin Group was able to generate such a huge public outcry last time.
However, from the last incident, Qin Feng realized how powerful Lixin Group was in manipulating public opinion. But at the same time, Qin Feng also discovered another new world: he also discovered Xinyang Group's strong control over public opinion, especially in the new media industry.
Last time, Zhou Qian spread Wang Xiaonan's video all over the internet in just one night. This kind of power is simply terrifying, which made Qin Feng realize the power of capital.
So after Yang Yuxin told Qin Feng about Shao Hongli and Yang Zhijie's plan, Qin Feng called Zhou Qian and asked her to use Xinyang Group's strong influence in the self-media industry to help him manage public opinion in Shazhou.
Qin Feng had already arranged these three measures with the Public Security Bureau and Zhou Qian's side. Now, all that was missing was the measure from the Shazhou City Propaganda Department. That's why he, as the mayor, personally went to see Wu Jing.
Qin Feng had carefully calculated that as long as he used these three moves simultaneously, he could ensure that Shao Hongli and Yang Zhijie would not be able to draw their sword of public opinion, let alone harm anyone.
Qin Feng spent most of the afternoon talking with several bigwigs in Shazhou City. Overall, he was quite satisfied with the results, as everything was proceeding according to his plan.
After Qin Feng finished talking with Yu Hanyi, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he returned to the municipal government. Although it was almost time to get off work, he still had a symposium to chair and a large pile of documents to sign in his office, some of which were very urgent.
"Director Jiang just called. The Public Security Bureau is launching a unified operation tonight to arrest criminals involved in inducing and instigating suicide attempts during performance evaluations," Zhang Xinming reported to Qin Feng in the car.
As soon as Jiang Yunpeng returned, he began to arrange and deploy this work. After making the arrangements, he immediately reported to Qin Feng. Knowing that Qin Feng was busy, he reported to Zhang Xinming instead.
"Okay, keep in touch with Jiang Yunpeng, the Secretary-General, and Mayor Yuan Wei at any time, and report to me on the progress and latest developments of all parties. Let me take a look at the meeting materials." Qin Feng said wearily, then took the meeting materials handed to him by Zhang Xinming and began to read them.
When Qin Feng went to hold the symposium, Shao Hongli, who was also in the municipal government office, was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking. Ding Wenbo, who had just walked in, was sitting opposite him.
Vice Mayor Ding Wenbo is currently very free, so he's been frequently visiting Shao Hongli's office lately.
"Did Qin Feng come to see you?" Ding Wenbo asked.
"No, but soon. He'll have to come see me obediently as soon as the symposium is over," Shao Hongli said confidently.
"Did Jiang Longjun call him?"
"It wasn't just a phone call. Jiang Longjun called him directly to his office. Jiang Longjun's secretary told me that as soon as he went in, Jiang Longjun berated him mercilessly. Qin Feng bowed his head and admitted his mistakes to Jiang Longjun like a grandson." Shao Hongli was very happy and excited, as if Qin Feng was bowing his head and admitting his mistakes to him.
Shao Hongli has cultivated deep roots in Shazhou for many years, and he has people everywhere. Even those who are not his people have established deep relationships with him, including the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee. So, if he wanted to, there was nothing in the entire Shazhou political arena that he didn't know.
"So, does that mean Qin Feng is about to suspend the review of several projects?" Ding Wenbo's eyes lit up. For Ding Wenbo, he only cared about whether these projects could continue and whether the review could be stopped. As for what Qin Feng did, it was none of his business; he had no grudge against Qin Feng.
“Does he dare to disobey? Does he dare to disobey Jiang Longjun? The reason he can hold his ground in Shazhou and oppose me is because Jiang Longjun deliberately supports him from behind and allows him to fight against me. If he dares to disobey Jiang Longjun, I will kill him immediately without Jiang Longjun’s support.”
“Do you know what I said to Jiang Longjun? I told Jiang Longjun bluntly that if Qin Feng doesn’t stop immediately, it won’t just be the sports center and sewage pipe project that will stop; all major projects in the entire Shazhou will stop. Moreover, the migrant workers’ emotions are already out of control, and they may petition the provincial government.”
"Jiang Longjun's hands started trembling after hearing this," Shao Hongli recounted vividly, then burst into laughter.
