Chapter 2835 Cutting off this cancer

Feng Changjun paused for a moment, a pause that was also skillful.

Feng Changjun wasn't stupid; he understood that Qin Feng must know the whole story. It was impossible for Qin Feng to genuinely be unaware of the cause and effect of the matter and ask him about it, especially since he was currently just a deputy mayor without any real power.

Since Qin Feng knew the whole story and still deliberately asked for his opinion, it was clear that he wanted Feng Changjun to express his stance. That's why Feng Changjun first explained the work he had done on this matter before giving his opinion, which was tantamount to stating his position to Qin Feng.

Feng Changjun continued, "This matter is very unusual. Several projects have stopped work at the same time. This cannot be a coincidence. Moreover, these projects are all key projects in our Shazhou City recently. I estimate that these projects are working together to resist the municipal government's recent investigation into these projects."

“I also learned about the situation in detail during the meeting. There are indeed unstable factors among the migrant workers in these projects. I suspect that someone is deliberately instigating and guiding the migrant workers to cause trouble. I specifically asked Comrade Yunpeng about the details. The information that Comrade Yunpeng found out is basically consistent with my guess.”

“Mayor, I think this matter should not be taken lightly and should be taken seriously. I think there is someone behind this who wants to deliberately cause trouble and create a crisis by taking advantage of the project’s suspension in order to threaten the government.”

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I agree with you. Someone is going to cause trouble in the sandbar, and it's going to be big trouble."

"Old Feng, you're the former director of our Shazhou City Public Security Bureau, and you've been in charge of maintaining stability for many years. I've always said you're the pillar that keeps Shazhou safe and stable!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"No, no, no... Mayor, you flatter me. I don't deserve such a title..." Feng Changjun quickly waved his hand with a smile.

"So this matter will have to be handled by you. Yunpeng is too young and inexperienced. He can't handle such a major crisis. You have to take charge personally," Qin Feng said.

Feng Changjun's mind raced as he tried to figure out what Qin Feng meant. He knew that Feng Changjun was a rare deputy mayor who didn't concurrently serve as the director of the Public Security Bureau, so he was just a figurehead. Previously, Qin Feng had directly assigned Jiang Yunpeng to handle this matter. Why was Feng Changjun suddenly being involved now?

"There are no outsiders here, Lao Feng, so I'll just say it straight," Qin Feng said, glancing at Feng Changjun.

Feng Changjun nodded quickly and said, "I am all ears for the mayor's instructions."

"What's your opinion on the current situation in our sandbar? I mean, the situation in our municipal government," Qin Feng said slowly, lighting a cigarette.

Feng Changjun carefully considered Qin Feng's words, took a couple of puffs of his cigarette, and said, "The situation in our municipal government was indeed a bit unstable before, but recently the situation has become more and more stable. This is a good thing for our municipal government, a good thing for the entire political situation in Shazhou, and an even greater good thing for all the people of Shazhou."

Feng Changjun mentioned that things were unstable before, but are becoming more and more stable now, which is pointed.

Previously, Qin Feng and Shao Hongli were evenly matched and locked in a fierce struggle, which naturally led to instability in the entire Shazhou Municipal Government.

Now Qin Feng has clearly gained the upper hand and launched a strong counterattack. The overall situation of the Shazhou Municipal Government is now in Qin Feng's hands, and with a unified leadership, the situation has naturally stabilized.

Of course, what Feng Changjun said later about the benefits to the municipal government, the political situation in Shazhou, and all the people of Shazhou was pure flattery, just to express his support for Qin Feng.

"You should also understand that this assessment and project inspection is actually aimed at Shao Hongli. The goal is to completely stabilize the situation in our Shazhou Municipal Government, which is a prerequisite for Shazhou's development," Qin Feng said bluntly.

Feng Changjun nodded quickly. Although Qin Feng spoke bluntly, this matter was not a secret, and everyone understood it.

"This cancer of Shao Hongli must be removed, and it must be removed as soon as possible," Qin Feng said while smoking a cigarette.

Feng Changjun was stunned. It was no secret that Qin Feng wanted to suppress Shao Hongli's power, nor was it anything to be surprised about. However, it was unusual that Qin Feng took the initiative to tell him about it today and used words like "certainly" and "as soon as possible".

What surprised Feng Changjun the most was that Qin Feng used the phrase "cutting out the tumor".

Feng Changjun felt that Qin Feng's intentions were no longer simply to suppress Shao Hongli; he was preparing to kill Shao Hongli.

"Now we need to consider who would be the most suitable person to succeed Shao Hongli if he steps down?" Qin Feng said, looking at Feng Changjun.

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Feng Changjun's eyebrows twitched involuntarily a few times.

Previously, Qin Feng only mentioned that Shao Hongli, this cancerous tumor, needed to be removed. Now, he's already considering the arrangements after Shao Hongli's downfall. This shows that Qin Feng is very determined and confident in getting Shao Hongli removed from his post.

Feng Changjun didn't know where Qin Feng got such strong confidence that he could completely bring down Shao Hongli. After all, Shao Hongli was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Executive Vice Mayor, with a very deep foundation in Shazhou. Moreover, Shao Hongli had the support of Lixin Group behind him.

Who is behind Lixin Group? People in Shazhou's officialdom all know that Lixin Group is supported by a big shot in the province, which means that Shao Hongli is backed by a big shot in the province.

Under these circumstances, what makes Qin Feng think he can bring down Shao Hongli? Not to mention Qin Feng, even Jiang Longjun couldn't do it.

The second thing that surprised Feng Changjun was why Qin Feng was talking to him about who would succeed Shao Hongli after he stepped down. Feng Changjun wasn't naive enough to think that Qin Feng was just chatting idly.

If Qin Feng wasn't just chatting idly, but seriously discussing this matter, then why was he discussing it with Feng Changjun? This kind of thing isn't something you can just discuss with anyone casually; Qin Feng couldn't possibly not understand that.

Then there's only one possibility: Qin Feng's subtext is telling Feng Changjun that he wants Feng Changjun to take over Shao Hongli's position.

Feng Changjun's mind raced, trying to figure out what Qin Feng was really thinking.

If Shao Hongli is indeed brought down by Qin Feng, then Qin Feng naturally hopes to promote an executive vice mayor from the municipal government. Of course, Jiang Longjun's attitude is very important, but Secretary Zhao's attitude in the province is even more important, and Feng Changjun is clear about the relationship between Secretary Zhao and Qin Feng.

Jiang Longjun would definitely not agree to anyone else sitting in this position, but he might not object to Feng Changjun sitting in it, because Feng Changjun is practically one of Jiang Longjun's men, and he wouldn't offend Zhao Hongjian over this matter. So Jiang Longjun would probably agree to Feng Changjun sitting in this position, which is probably an important factor in Qin Feng pushing Feng Changjun up.
