Chapter 2930 Positive Evaluation

Qin Feng organized this inspection to conduct a thorough investigation and assessment of the entire Shazhou area, which covers more than 15,000 square kilometers across three districts, five counties, and one city. Qin Feng wanted more than just firsthand observation; he wanted to go to the grassroots level to formulate a scientific and sustainable development strategy for the entire Shazhou area, tailored to local conditions.

This inspection was not Qin Feng's personal inspection, but an inspection of the entire municipal government.

Qin Feng had reviewed the documents and found that the sandbar had not been thoroughly investigated for more than a decade, and all policies were based on data reported by various localities.

Qin Feng, who rose through the ranks from the grassroots, knows the vast difference between reality and written data, and is also aware of how much exaggeration is in the data reported from below.

Qin Feng's inspection this time was not to investigate the issue of inflated data. That matter was too big to be investigated clearly and would not be effective. He simply wanted to understand the real development situation in various parts of Shazhou as a reliable basis for his next study on the overall development plan of Shazhou.

Qin Feng's inspection tour was a major undertaking, personally arranged by Chen Guohua. Not only did heads of relevant departments accompany him, but the entire municipal government policy research office also followed. In addition, the municipal government invited relevant experts from Shazhou University to accompany Qin Feng on the inspection tour, with the aim of conducting a comprehensive survey and accurate diagnosis of the entire Shazhou area.

After Chen Guohua had been preparing for more than half a month, the inspection work finally began. Qin Feng handed over all the daily work of the municipal government to Feng Changjun. He personally led a team to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire Shazhou for two weeks, covering all three districts, five counties and one city under the jurisdiction of Shazhou City.

This was also the first time Qin Feng had a comprehensive and clear understanding of the entire Shazhou area after serving as mayor for almost a year.

After Qin Feng completed this inspection, the government's work entered the year-end work cycle. As a leader, the core of his work became the routine work of year-end summary and year-end stability maintenance.

Just as Qin Feng was working hard, he received calls from Xie Zhiguo and Hu Jiayun, who told him that Chen Wuning's case was basically resolved. It was certain that Chen Wuning would be expelled from the Party and lose his official position, but the final sentence would be lenient. The most likely outcome was that he would lose his official position but not go to jail. They also told Qin Feng that they would try to get Chen Wuning out before the Chinese New Year.

Qin Feng was delighted to hear the news, but he couldn't help but sigh. Chen Wuning was a prominent figure in Dongyang, and he never expected him to end up like this. Of course, this was the best possible outcome.

Qin Feng called Yu Na to tell her the news, and Yu Na burst into tears on the other end of the phone, repeatedly thanking Qin Feng with a choked voice.

For Qin Feng, Chen Wuning's matter was just a minor episode; his focus remained on his small territory in Shazhou.

Shortly after Qin Feng completed his inspection, Zhao Hongjian summoned him to Xidu with a phone call.

As the chief official of Shazhou, Qin Feng could not leave easily. In addition, Shazhou was far from Xidu, so Zhao Hongjian would not usually call Qin Feng to Xidu to discuss matters in person unless they were important. He would usually discuss them over the phone.

Zhao Hongjian asked him to go to Xidu in person. Qin Feng knew it must be something important. On the plane there, Qin Feng kept guessing what it was.

This time, Zhao Hongjian didn't make Qin Feng wait. Instead, he told Qin Feng to come directly to his office whenever he arrived. So Qin Feng didn't linger this time and went straight from the airport to the municipal party committee.

Unfortunately, Qin Feng's timing was unfortunate. When he arrived at the municipal party committee and contacted Zhao Hongjian's secretary, Zhao Hongjian was in a meeting, so Qin Feng waited in his car downstairs.

Not long after, Zhao Hongjian's secretary came to Qin Feng's car and asked Qin Feng to wait in Zhao Hongjian's office. This was obviously Zhao Hongjian's arrangement after he learned that Qin Feng had arrived. Although they were small things, they warmed Qin Feng's heart.

Zhao Hongjian made Qin Feng wait in his office instead of in his secretary's office, and this difference illustrates the difference in Zhao Hongjian's attitude towards Qin Feng.

Zhao Hongjian's secretary made tea for Qin Feng and then sat there chatting with him until Zhao Hongjian finished his meeting and came in alone with his workbook and a water cup.

"Secretary Zhao." Qin Feng stood up.

"Have you been waiting a long time?" Zhao Hongjian smiled and handed the workbook and water glass to his secretary, then walked to the sofa and pulled Qin Feng to sit down.

After putting away Zhao Hongjian's workbook and water glass, the secretary wisely left and closed the door.

"I just arrived," Qin Feng replied. This was the standard answer; no matter how long it took, he had to give this response.

“According to the report from the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, all work in Shazhou has returned to normal, and the situation has stabilized. The Provincial Party Committee has also listened to the report on the recent reform measures of your Shazhou Municipal Government and has conducted a special study on them. Overall, the provincial comrades have a positive evaluation of you,” Zhao Hongjian said.

The most important part of Zhao Hongjian's statement is the last sentence, "Overall," which tells Qin Feng that not everyone has a positive view of him; some people oppose him, but the forces that support and love him are dominant, and these forces that support him are, of course, Zhao Hongjian and others.

Zhao Hongjian told Qin Feng this to encourage him to continue his bold endeavors, assuring him that the province would support him and put his mind at ease.

Qin Feng nodded: "With your support, I will have more confidence and assurance in my work going forward."

"In response to the various problems that have recently emerged in your Shazhou City, the Provincial Party Committee convened a meeting a few days ago to study and discuss the situation in your Shazhou. The meeting included a detailed discussion and analysis of the overall situation in your Shazhou City, as well as the situation of you and Jiang Longjun personally."

"This meeting analyzed the situation in depth and had a very heated discussion. The final conclusion was that everyone believed the overall situation in Shazhou was still under control, and the current Shazhou Municipal Party Committee leadership team still had a certain fighting capacity. At the same time, Comrade Jiang Longjun's work ability was also affirmed." At this point, Zhao Hongjian smiled at Qin Feng and continued, "The positive evaluation of you was also made at this meeting."

Zhao Hongjian's words contained even more information. Even though there were only Qin Feng and Zhao Hongjian in the office, Zhao Hongjian did not speak too clearly, which is a cautious habit of a senior leader.

Clearly, this meeting, ostensibly for research and discussion, is actually an internal accountability meeting of the provincial party committee for the entire Shazhou municipal party committee. If the discussion results are not good, the entire leadership of the Shazhou municipal party committee will suffer, and the main targets will definitely be Jiang Longjun and Qin Feng.

According to Zhao Hongjian's words, someone had targeted Qin Feng, and Zhao Hongjian chose to support Jiang Longjun, thereby gaining the support of Jiang Longjun's backers and ultimately protecting Qin Feng. Therefore, the final result was an affirmation of Jiang Longjun's work ability, and a positive evaluation of Qin Feng.

When Zhao Hongjian said this, it was just a simple sentence, and he did it casually, but the actual danger was unimaginable to most people.

If Zhao Hongjian hadn't been sitting in the provincial party committee, Qin Feng would have been made a scapegoat long ago for this major incident in Shazhou.
