Chapter 2862 You Can't Board the Plane

"Thank you for your concern, Mayor. However, my schedule is already set, and I have made an appointment with the doctor. In addition, I haven't taken my annual leave yet. Taking leave should not violate any principles or regulations."

"As for work... I've already arranged everything I need to do, and it definitely won't interfere with my work. Please ask the Secretary-General to thank the Mayor on my behalf when you get back. Thank you for your concern, Mayor." Ding Wenbo smiled insincerely, convinced that Chen Guohua wouldn't dare stop him today, and Qin Feng couldn't do anything to him either.

"Does Vice Mayor Ding really have to leave today?" Chen Guohua asked.

"The itinerary is already arranged, I'm definitely going."

“Vice Mayor Ding, the mayor has not approved your leave. It is working time now, and it is not appropriate for you to leave at this time.”

"If the mayor insists on making a big deal out of this, then I have no choice but to admit my mistake. When I get back, I will give a thorough self-criticism to the mayor and accept the organization's punishment for me." Ding Wenbo said calmly. His meaning was clear: I have to leave today. You can punish me however you want. If you didn't approve my leave, then treat it as absenteeism. How much punishment can that be?

Just then, the airport began broadcasting a message announcing the resumption of boarding. The message was for the flight that Ding Wenbo was on. In fact, there aren't many flights at Shazhou Airport every day, and at this moment, this was the only flight waiting to board.

The police confirmed with the airport that boarding would be delayed by 20 minutes, and the 20 minutes have now passed.

A plane's takeoff involves many factors, so a 20-minute delay is already the airport's limit.

After listening to the broadcast, Ding Wenbo took his wife's hand and said to Chen Guohua, "Secretary-General, I'm boarding now. We can talk about it when I get back."

As Ding Wenbo was speaking, he prepared to board the plane, but several police officers blocked his way. The remaining police officers surrounded Ding Wenbo and encircled him.

Upon seeing this, Ding Wenbo's face instantly darkened, and he coldly looked at Chen Guohua: "Secretary-General, could you explain what this means?"

"Vice Mayor Ding, the mayor has ordered me to bring you back. He has important business to discuss with you," Chen Guohua said.

“Secretary-General, I have already made my opinion very clear. I am asking the mayor for leave. If the mayor does not agree, then it will be considered a violation of discipline. I will apologize to the mayor and the organization when I return. But you cannot stop me now,” Ding Wenbo said again.

“Vice Mayor Ding, I’ll say it again: the mayor has important matters to discuss with you. This is an order from the organization. I urge you to prioritize the overall situation and come back with me first,” Chen Guohua said bluntly.

"What if I don't go back with you?" Ding Wenbo stared at Chen Guohua.

“Then Vice Mayor Ding won’t be able to board the plane either.” After Chen Guohua finished speaking, the police officer glared at Ding Wenbo.

"Chen Guohua, have I broken the law?" Ding Wenbo asked Chen Guohua.

“No, I never said that Vice Mayor Ding violated the law,” Chen Guohua shook his head.

"What do you mean by this?" Ding Wenbo asked Chen Guohua, pointing at the police officer in front of him.

"Vice Mayor Ding, please don't misunderstand. Things haven't been very peaceful in Shazhou these past few days. There was just a disturbance caused by migrant workers. Out of concern for Vice Mayor Ding's safety, the mayor specifically asked the Public Security Bureau to send a few people with me to protect Vice Mayor Ding and escort him safely back to the municipal government," Chen Guohua quickly "explained."

Chen Guohua's explanation was flawless, making it difficult for Ding Wenbo to use this matter against Chen Guohua.

"Chen Guohua, don't forget, I am the vice mayor of Shazhou City. I have worked here for much longer than Qin Feng. Have you thought about the consequences of bringing people here to arrest me today?"

"I want to see who dares to arrest me in Shazhou today. I'm leaving now, let's see who dares to stop me." Ding Wenbo grabbed his wife and rushed towards the police officer blocking his way, because they were already announcing that boarding would be closing soon.

Ding Wenbo knew even more clearly that if he didn't leave now, he might never be able to leave.

Ding Wenbo walked towards the police officer in front of him.

When the police officers saw Ding Wenbo rushing towards them, they involuntarily retreated. They knew that the person in front of them was the vice mayor, a vice mayor who had not committed any crimes. How could they, as ordinary police officers, dare to lay a hand on him? The consequences were not something they could afford to bear.

“Vice Mayor Ding, if you really make a fool of yourself here today, it won’t just be you who loses face. You know what’s going on with you. Making a big fuss won’t do you any good.”

"Besides, you should know in your heart that since the mayor has already sent the police, you won't have any chance to leave anymore. Why make such a scene? No matter what the final outcome is, it's always better to save face, isn't it?"

“Besides, the mayor asked me to invite you back. Since it’s an invitation, it means it’s not the end yet. Why block your last resort?” Chen Guohua said to Ding Wenbo.

After hearing Chen Guohua's words, Ding Wenbo stood there stunned. Then he sighed and said to Chen Guohua, "I'll go back with you. Please send someone to take my wife home."

"Don't worry, everything was arranged before we came. Vice Mayor Ding, please." Chen Guohua nodded.

Ding Wenbo suddenly surrendered because Chen Guohua's words reminded him that since Qin Feng had already sent the police, it was impossible for him to leave Shazhou. If he continued to cause trouble, not only would he lose face, but more importantly, if things escalated, he would die even faster.

For Ding Wenbo now, there is no way out. Going back to see Qin Feng with Chen Guohua might be his last chance to survive.

When Chen Guohua brought Ding Wenbo back from the airport, Qin Feng also arrived at the municipal party committee and entered Jiang Longjun's office.

Jiang Longjun was already waiting for Qin Feng in the office. When Qin Feng came in, Jiang Longjun warmly pulled him to sit on the sofa, personally brewed tea for him, invited him to taste the tea, and explained the origin of the tea to him.

Qin Feng did not interrupt Jiang Longjun. Instead, he chatted with Jiang Longjun over tea in a cooperative manner. He would never have started the conversation if Jiang Longjun hadn't taken the initiative to discuss serious matters.

Jiang Longjun and Qin Feng exchanged pleasantries for a while and drank two cups of tea before Jiang Longjun said to Qin Feng, "Comrade Qin Feng, first of all, I want to commend you on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and thank you. You handled the issues related to several projects very well this time, especially the matter of migrant workers blocking the road, which was handled perfectly. This is enough to demonstrate your outstanding work ability, and we should all learn from you."

"No, no, no... it's all thanks to Secretary Jiang's leadership." Qin Feng quickly waved his hand, continuing to flatter Jiang Longjun.

"Don't be so polite. Good is good. Merit is merit. All of us comrades have seen it. There's no need to be modest." Jiang Longjun poured Qin Feng another cup of tea.
