Chapter 2836 Let you take over

"I think it would be better for Mayor Yuanwei to take over. Mayor Yuanwei is senior, has high prestige, and is experienced. It would be more appropriate for him to take over as executive vice mayor."

Although Feng Changjun was inwardly turbulent, he still solemnly recommended Sun Yuanwei on the surface.

Feng Changjun was well aware that Sun Yuanwei's age made it impossible for him to take over as executive vice mayor, and he also knew that his recommendation and opinion would have no effect on who would succeed him as executive vice mayor.

After listening, Qin Feng smiled and said, "Mayor Yuanwei is indeed the most suitable candidate. He has no problem with prestige, qualifications and ability. However, he is getting old and should retire after this term, so it is definitely impossible for him."

"Old Feng, I'll be blunt. My idea is for you to take over this position," Qin Feng said directly to Feng Changjun, not wanting to waste any more words.

"Mayor... I can't..." Feng Changjun humbly declined.

"What? You think I don't have the ability to push you up?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"No, no, no...Mayor...that's not what I meant at all..."

"Indeed, I have the right to make suggestions on the promotion of executive vice mayor, and my voice carries considerable weight. However, it is more important to get the opinion of Secretary Jiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but ultimately, the opinion of the province is the most important."

"If I can get Shao Hongli down, I can definitely get you up here," Qin Feng said slowly.

Feng Changjun wasn't stupid. He knew Qin Feng's purpose after he had said so much. He quickly said, "Mayor, please give me your orders. I, Feng Changjun, will go through fire and water for you without batting an eye."

"It's not that serious," Qin Feng said with a smile, waving his hand.

“During our investigation of these projects, we discovered a large number of illegal activities, many of which involved violations of laws and regulations by public officials. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Shao Hongli and Ding Wenbo were involved, as long as this case is brought to light and exposed, Shao Hongli and Ding Wenbo will definitely not be able to escape.”

"I've already brought this matter to light, and I'll definitely expose it when the time comes. But the prerequisite is that the municipal government must weather this attack against us smoothly. No matter how insidious the other side's methods are, we must ensure that the overall situation in Shazhou is not affected, and we must ensure that this matter is limited to the territory of Shazhou City."

“I assigned the specific tasks to Jiang Yunpeng, but Jiang Yunpeng is still too young and lacks experience in handling such matters. Moreover, he is lacking in qualifications and prestige.”

"I hope you can agree to lead this operation. To control the whole situation, we need more than just the Public Security Bureau; we need to mobilize the entire judicial system and social resources," Qin Feng said, looking at Feng Changjun.

Feng Changjun understood Qin Feng's meaning: as long as he, Feng Changjun, handled this matter well and successfully brought Shao Hongli down, Qin Feng would recommend him to take over as the executive vice mayor.

What Qin Feng wanted was Feng Changjun's experience, prestige, and the resources Feng Changjun had accumulated over the years in Shazhou—things that Jiang Yunpeng lacked. If Feng Changjun were to take command, the chances of success would be much greater.

Qin Feng's decision to have Feng Changjun take charge of the work this time was also intended to put Feng Changjun firmly on the opposite side of Shao Hongli and Lixin Group, and at the same time, it was also a way of telling Jiang Longjun that Feng Changjun was now completely Qin Feng's man.

Qin Feng did this in order to completely "tame" Feng Changjun, only in this way would Qin Feng allow Feng Changjun to take over.

He had always wanted to win over and give important responsibilities to Feng Changjun; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to protect him last time.

"Okay, Mayor, I assure you, I will handle this matter well. I will go back this afternoon and talk to Comrade Yunpeng about it carefully." Feng Changjun nodded hurriedly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Xinming pushed it open and came in.

"Mayor, the Secretary-General called. Secretary Jiang will be at the door in ten minutes," Zhang Xinming reported.

Qin Feng patted Feng Changjun on the shoulder: "Old Feng, let's go and greet our Secretary Jiang at the entrance."

“This is a critical time. There will be some turmoil in Shazhou City. We need his support. If you want to move up, you also need his approval.” Qin Feng said, then led Feng Changjun to the door to wait for Jiang Longjun.

Qin Feng invited Jiang Longjun here today precisely to flatter Jiang Longjun.

Qin Feng and Feng Changjun greeted Jiang Longjun at the entrance. Throughout the meeting, Qin Feng was extremely respectful to Jiang Longjun, which pleased Jiang Longjun greatly.

Jiang Longjun understood perfectly well why Qin Feng had invited him to fish here at this time. It certainly wasn't for friendship; the purpose was naturally for profit. And Jiang Longjun's willingness to come here today was also for profit.

Qin Feng's next task aligned with Jiang Longjun's interests, which is why the two were so amicable and in sync.

On Monday, Qin Feng was holding the routine mayor's meeting, but today's meeting was a bit strange, as both Vice Mayors Sun Yuanwei and Feng Changjun were absent.

When Shao Hongli came in, he found it strange that Sun Yuanwei and Feng Changjun were not there, because these two had never missed this meeting.

However, Shao Hongli couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong. Sun Yuanwei's absence could be linked to what was about to happen today, but what about Feng Changjun? Everyone knew that Feng Changjun was currently just an idle person.

Shao Hongli had some doubts, but not so much. He sat down in the chair, which was to Qin Feng's left.

Every time there was a meeting, his seat was next to Qin Feng. He was the person closest to Qin Feng, but he was also the one who hated Qin Feng the most. Especially after he went to Qin Feng to beg for mercy last time, and Qin Feng ridiculed him, Shao Hongli dreamed that one day he would see Qin Feng kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy.

Shao Hong watched with a cold gaze as Qin Feng walked in with a smile, then sat down in the mayor's seat to begin the meeting.

Shao Hongli sneered inwardly, already imagining Qin Feng's expression when he received the report.

Compared to a week ago, Shao Hongli is now in a very peaceful state of mind. Naturally, after his last visit to Yang Guoqiang, Yang Guoqiang promised him that even if things escalated and the higher-ups investigated these projects, they would find a way to protect him and ensure that nothing happened to him.

With Yang Guoqiang's guarantee, Shao Hongli felt more at ease. Although he was heartbroken that he might ultimately lose the huge profits from these projects, he felt it was worth it if he could use them to get Qin Feng dismissed.

It was because of Yang Guoqiang's guarantee that Shao Hongli began to actively cooperate with Yang Zhijie's actions, and Shao Hongli has made a lot of preparations in the past few days.

Now, both Shao Hongli and Yang Zhijie believe that Qin Feng is doomed and that no one can escape this predicament.
