Chapter 2923 Complaining and Playing the Victim

Yu Na sought out Qin Feng today to see if he could help her find a solution. She no longer hoped that Chen Wuning would be reinstated; she just wanted him to come out safe and sound.

Qin Feng was in a dilemma. Chen Wuning's level was too high. Only the main leaders of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee had the right to speak. Qin Feng had long since left Jiangnan Province, and everyone he knew had also left. How could he possibly help with this now?

But seeing Yu Na's haggard and helpless appearance, Qin Feng finally nodded and said, "You know, although I have only been away from Jiangnan Province for less than a year, I have actually been away from the core of power in Jiangnan Province for a long time. Old Chen's level is too high. If you want to speak to him, you have to go to the provincial party committee. To be honest, it is difficult for me to contact him now."

"But I will try my best to go and see what I can do, though I can't say for sure whether it will work in the end."

Yu Na was very grateful. She understood the situation Qin Feng had described, so she had been hesitant about asking him for help. However, she had no other connections or options, and the only person she could think of was Qin Feng, but she was hesitant to ask him.

Knowing that Qin Feng was returning to Zhongjiang today, they insisted that Qin Feng come for dinner.

The two did not continue talking about Chen Wuning. After catching up for a while, Qin Feng left.

The next day at noon, Xiao Jian'an arrived at Qin Feng's house.

Xiao Jian'an had been remotely directing the Shazhou project from Zhongjiang. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but Qin Feng wouldn't allow him to go to Shazhou.

As the big boss, Xiao Jian'an doesn't need to be specifically in charge of the project, so his presence in Zhongjiang does not affect the progress of the Shazhou project at all.

Qin Feng's reason for not letting Xiao Jian'an go to the sandbar was simple: for Xiao Jian'an's safety.

As long as the Yang family remains standing, Xiao Jian'an will not be safe in Shazhou, and the Yang family also has a reason to kill him. Currently, five important projects are under Xiao Jian'an's management. If Xiao Jian'an dies, these five projects will most likely come to a standstill, which would have a huge impact on Qin Feng. No one can guarantee that Yang Zhijie wouldn't be so ruthless.

Qi Yaqiu and Shao Hongli could kill whomever they wanted, let alone Xiao Jian'an, who had no identity whatsoever.

Moreover, ever since Xiao Jian'an met Qin Feng in Shazhou, he has never had the chance to see Qin Feng again. Sure enough, the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated the relationship between Qin Feng and Xiao Jian'an. This startled Xiao Jian'an, and he admired Qin Feng's foresight. So from then on, he dared not have too much contact with Qin Feng.

But this time, knowing that Qin Feng had returned to Zhongjiang, he insisted on seeing Qin Feng and inviting him to dinner.

After careful consideration, Qin Feng did not accept Xiao Jian'an's invitation. Instead, he invited Xiao Jian'an to his home for dinner.

If Xiao Jian'an were to host a banquet for him, it would be incredibly extravagant, which Qin Feng wouldn't like.

Before inviting Xiao Jian'an over, Qin Feng specifically emphasized that Xiao Jian'an must come empty-handed; anyone carrying anything was not allowed to enter the house.

The daughter is at school, Zhou Qian is at work, and only Xie Fengmin and the nanny are at home.

Qin Feng didn't ask the nanny to cook too many dishes, just four dishes and a soup.

Xie Fengmin was old and had a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon. She didn't eat much, so she ate a few bites and went upstairs to rest, leaving Qin Feng and Xiao Jian'an alone.

"Are you under a lot of pressure right now?" Qin Feng asked Xiao Jian'an.

“It’s very big,” Xiao Jian’an replied, but with a smile.

Xiao Jian'an was very clever. He first smiled to show his attitude, and his big answer was a typical example of the mentality that a crying child gets candy.

"I understand, but you have to persevere no matter how much pressure you're under. The situation is improving now, and several projects are on track. The municipal government is also gradually stabilizing. As long as you hold on and manage to get the funding by the beginning of next year, the municipal government will be able to find a solution for you."

"Mayor, the problem now is that I don't know if we can hold out until the beginning of next year. You initially said three months, but after the New Year it will be half a year. The financial pressure is indeed huge," Xiao Jian'an lamented.

Qin Feng looked at Xiao Jian'an and smiled, saying, "Alright, don't pull this stunt in front of me again. It's almost the end of the year, and the municipal government has just undergone a comprehensive adjustment. In addition, the city is currently conducting a review of the city's finances and investments, so it's impossible to pay you for the project before the end of the year. The earliest it will be is early next year."

"But don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, and you must do what you promised me. It's no use trying to play the victim here now. You have to figure out the solution yourself, and you have to bear the pressure yourself," Qin Feng said with a smile.

Qin Feng naturally saw through Xiao Jian'an's little scheme. As a businessman, profit comes first. Xiao Jian'an took over these projects to help Qin Feng. Since he was helping, he naturally had to express how hard he had worked and how wronged he had felt, so that Qin Feng would understand how much he had sacrificed for him and that Qin Feng would have to give him something in return in the future.

“The change of government in Shazhou is not far off. You should do a good job on these projects. Once the government changes in Shazhou, you will naturally have a chance to make your mark. I said I would not treat you unfairly, and I will not.”

"Let me reiterate, you are not allowed to go to Ganliang Province, let alone Shazhou, without my permission. Even in Zhongjiang, you must ensure your personal safety. You must understand that your life or death directly affects the operation of several projects and the entire situation in Shazhou. This is very important to me..."

Qin Feng didn't keep Xiao Jian'an any longer. After lunch, he let Xiao Jian'an leave. In the afternoon, Qin Feng invited Hu Jiayun to have coffee. Hu Jiayun chose the place, a coffee shop next to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Qin Feng and Hu Jiayun had had coffee there before, so it was a familiar spot.

Qin Feng arrived first, followed by Hu Jiayun.

Hu Jiayun is no longer young, she's almost forty, but time hasn't left any marks on her, only an increasingly mature and charming woman. In Qin Feng's eyes, Hu Jiayun is becoming more and more beautiful.

Hu Jiayun was as intellectual as ever, walking over in her business attire.

"Why did you suddenly decide to come back? Have you settled things in Shazhou?" Hu Jiayun asked after sitting down, Qin Feng had already stopped serving him coffee.

Hu Jiayun was certainly aware of the recent events in Shazhou, including Ding Wenbo's surrender and Shao Hongli's suicide. Firstly, he worked in the discipline inspection system, so he naturally heard about such big news as a fellow member of the discipline inspection system. Moreover, Hu Jiayun had always paid close attention to Gansu Province and Shazhou City.

Secondly, Qin Feng has always maintained close contact with Hu Jiayun. For Qin Feng, the person he is closest to is his wife Zhou Qian, and the second person is Hu Jiayun. He calls Hu Jiayun almost every two or three days, and they talk about their work. So Qin Feng naturally told Hu Jiayun about what happened in Shazhou.

"It's come to an end, and the new municipal government team has all taken office. Things should be back to normal," Qin Feng said calmly.
