Chapter 2853 I Can Solve Problems

"I agree with that," Qin Feng nodded, and Shao Hongli's statement was irrefutable.

The biggest problem in the entire clearing-out process lies in this, which is why Qin Feng has been very cautious from the beginning, and even today, he still wants Sun Yuanwei to do his best to ensure the orderly progress of the clearing-out process.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Qin Feng asked again.

"The most direct and simplest solution is to suspend the clearing work and allow the original construction company to continue construction. This would avoid all the trouble and potential problems," Shao Hongli said.

Hearing this, Qin Feng laughed: "Vice Mayor Shao, do you think you can do that? If you do, what if they, under the direction of someone with ulterior motives, unite to threaten me with a work stoppage?"

"So there's no need to discuss this. These construction companies must be replaced; none of them can be kept. And the issue now isn't whether I want them to continue construction, but rather that they have committed serious violations of laws and regulations during the bidding and construction process. Based on these violations alone, it's impossible for them to continue undertaking these projects. So they must get out."

"Furthermore, the municipal government has already signed an agreement with Huayang Group. These projects now belong to Huayang Group. As long as Huayang Group does not violate any laws, regulations, or agreements, we have no right to force Huayang Group to leave. You should understand this without me having to explain it further." Qin Feng said seriously.

"Yes, yes, the mayor is right." Shao Hongli was very obedient today.

“If the original unit cannot continue construction, then this trouble and hidden danger will continue to exist,” Shao Hongli said.

"I don't think you came all this way just to tell me about the dangers of this matter, right? You must have a solution, right?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

Qin Feng's words were tantamount to telling Shao Hongli that he already knew his purpose, and that he should hurry up and say what he wanted to say.

“Mayor, if you entrust this matter to me, I am confident that I can resolve these issues and ensure that these construction companies cooperate fully with Comrade Yuanwei’s site clearing and liquidation work, so that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible. This will allow Huayang Group to focus on construction without distractions and ensure that these projects can be completed smoothly within the contract period,” Shao Hongli said directly.

Qin Feng smiled and asked, "It would be best if Vice Mayor Shao could do that, but he must need my help to do so, right?"

“Yes, I couldn’t have accomplished such a difficult task without the mayor’s support. Mayor, let me be frank, do you think the investigation into these projects can end here? As long as the investigation can end here, I am confident that I can persuade them to fully cooperate with Comrade Yuanwei’s liquidation and clearing work, so that Huayang Group can start construction as soon as possible, and no one will cause trouble for Huayang Group again in the future,” Shao Hongli said.

Shao Hongli finally revealed his hand, hoping that Qin Feng would not continue the investigation, because everyone knew that if the investigation continued, Shao Hongli would be exposed.

Qin Feng was very tempted by the conditions offered by Shao Hongli. For Qin Feng at the moment, these conditions were extremely attractive and something he really wanted.

Qin Feng has already secured these major projects, so whether or not to continue relentlessly pursuing them is not of much significance to him personally.

At this point, Qin Feng had completely clipped Shao Hongli's wings. Although Shao Hongli was still a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Executive Vice Mayor, he no longer posed much of a threat to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng naturally wanted to get rid of Shao Hongli in one fell swoop, but Qin Feng was not that naive and knew that things would not be so easy.

Continuing the investigation into these projects will inevitably involve Shao Hongli, but Shao Hongli is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Executive Vice Mayor. Involving him would be a major earthquake for the entire Shazhou. Jiang Longjun would not agree, nor would the province. If things continue to escalate, it will only put Qin Feng in a very passive position.

The only problem and risk facing Qin Feng now is the liquidation and settlement of these five projects. Shao Hongli is right; this liquidation and settlement is a huge trouble and a ticking time bomb. Once it explodes, it will be difficult for Qin Feng to remain unaffected.

From Qin Feng's personal perspective, accepting Shao Hongli's offer to fire him would be the most advantageous option.

Shao Hongli's visit to Qin Feng today and his proposal of this condition were clearly well-considered, taking into account Qin Feng's situation. He was also certain that Qin Feng would eventually agree.

"Is Vice Mayor Shao so confident that he can solve this problem?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

Qin Feng's question instantly turned Shao Hongli's face into a deep purplish-red.

"Vice Mayor Shao, if I may be so frank, there is someone behind the joint suspension of these projects. I know that Vice Mayor Shao has been deeply involved in Shazhou for many years and has a great influence. I also admire Vice Mayor Shao's desire to help the government out of this predicament. However, given the special and complex nature of this matter, I think it will be difficult for you, Vice Mayor Shao, to solve this problem." Qin Feng continued.

Qin Feng is essentially saying that Shao Hongli is nothing more than Yang Zhijie's lackey. Can you make decisions? Can you make the final choice?

Qin Feng saw through Shao Hongli's scheme today. Shao Hongli was actually just trying to trick Qin Feng into not investigating these projects anymore. In reality, Shao Hongli had no bargaining power with Qin Feng anymore, because he had long since lost control of these projects.

"Mayor, you underestimate me. Yes, I admit that there are indeed people behind these projects, but I also have a lot of influence over them," Shao Hongli argued.

"Mayor, as long as you promise not to continue investigating these projects, I will definitely find a way to resolve this matter. I can pledge my life to you," Shao Hongli said hurriedly.

"Furthermore, Mayor, let me put it bluntly: as long as you let this matter rest, from now on I, Shao Hongli, will be your soldier. I will go wherever you point, and I will never go west if you say go east."

"Yes, I have very little influence over you in the municipal government now, but Mayor, don't forget that I am still a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. After I fall, you will no longer be facing the municipal government, but Jiang Longjun, the Municipal Party Committee, and the entire Shazhou's voice."

“The situation in Shazhou City is now very clear. For so many years, the Municipal Party Committee has been Jiang Longjun’s alone. You are all alone in the Municipal Party Committee and need someone to support you.”

“You’ve already achieved everything you wanted with this project at this point. Continuing to pursue it won’t be of much use to you, don’t you think?” Shao Hongli earnestly advised Qin Feng.
