official career

The next morning, Qin Feng took Zhou Liang to Tai'an County. This was Qin Feng's first time to Tai'an County.

Tai'an County borders Yi'an County and its general terrain is similar to that of Yi'an County, but its conditions in all aspects are much better than those of Yi'an County. Otherwise, Yi'an County would not have been able to sit firmly on the top spot as the poorest county in Xiquan City.

Qin Feng knew Wu Zhitao, the secretary of the Tai'an County Party Committee. As both were county party committee secretaries, they had many opportunities to attend meetings together, but the two were just acquaintances and did not have much contact. When they met at meetings, they would just nod and say hello to each other.

Connections are very important in official circles. Everyone will make friends with anyone they can. The reason why Qin Feng and Wu Zhitao are only casual friends is that Qin Feng and Liu Xiaoping do not get along.

Wu Zhitao is Liu Xiaoping's man, and Qin Feng is a thorn in Liu Xiaoping's side, which means it is impossible for Wu Zhitao to have contact with Qin Feng, and Qin Feng is also the kind of person who won't put his face on other people's butts.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Yuguang called Tai'an County Committee on behalf of Yian County Committee and told them that Qin Feng would go to Tai'an County today to discuss work matters with Wu Zhitao. The two sides negotiated and decided to meet in Wu Zhitao's office at ten o'clock this morning.

After all, they are leaders of the same level, so meetings are generally not arranged in the office. Meetings in the office are somewhat like subordinates meeting their superiors.

Generally speaking, in such situations, out of respect, the meeting will basically be arranged in the reception room.

The people in the Yian County Party Committee Office could not have been unaware of this truth, and Wu Zhitao was even more likely to be unaware of it. They finally arranged for Qin Feng to meet Wu Zhitao in his office, which was obviously intentional.

When Zhang Yuguang first heard about this arrangement, he was very dissatisfied, but Qin Feng made him agree. He went there to discuss something with Wu Zhitao, and he didn't care about these small details.

Of course, Yian County has been in close contact with Tai'an County in the past few days, not to mention that Cao Changsheng went to Tai'an County in person yesterday, so Wu Zhitao must know why Qin Feng went to see him.

Wu Zhitao's arrangement was naturally to show Qin Feng his attitude, so Qin Feng also roughly understood that this trip would not have any good results.

But even though he knew there would be no results, Qin Feng still had to go. For Qin Feng, the interests of the people were above everything else.

The best outcome would be if we could seek justice for the people of Shuitou Village and get the compensation they deserve without making any noise or fuss, and if we could handle the subsequent issues properly.

As long as this result can be achieved, Qin Feng doesn't care if he suffers a little grievance, even if it is an insult.

Qin Feng set out early as he didn't want to be late, so it was only half past nine when he drove to the Tai'an County Party Committee.

Qin Feng asked Wang Jun to park the car on the side of the road and wait for twenty minutes, but it was too late. It was too embarrassing for a county party secretary to wait at the door of someone else's office, so Qin Feng would rather wait on the side of the road.

At around 9:50, Qin Feng asked Zhou Liang to contact the staff of Tai'an County Party Committee Office, while he asked Wang Jun to drive the car into the Tai'an County Party Committee compound.

Compared with the dilapidated old office building where the county party committee and county government are combined in Yian County, the county party committee compound in Tai'an County is much more luxurious, and the county party committee and county government are independent office locations.

Generally speaking, in such a situation, the other party would send a heavyweight person to greet Qin Feng downstairs, usually the director of the county party committee office.

However, not only did Tai'an County not send the director of the county party committee office to greet him downstairs, there was not even an ordinary staff member. Instead, when Wang Jun called to tell the other party that Qin Feng had arrived, the other party told Qin Feng to come to the third floor.

This is not just disrespect or impoliteness, but an insult.

Qin Feng is not a person who cares about these details, but he felt a little angry when he heard about Tai'an County's arrangement.

Qin Feng suppressed his anger, got out of the car, took Zhou Liang and walked into the county party committee office building, and took the elevator to the third floor.

Because no one greeted them, Qin Feng and Zhou Liang followed the door number to find the county party secretary's office.

Finally, I found the office of the county party secretary in the innermost room, but the door was closed. The door opposite was open, and there was a person sitting inside.

Qin Feng and Zhou Liang stood at the door. The man in his thirties and thirty-five who was wearing glasses and working in the office opposite glanced at them for a few more seconds, then stood up and walked out.

"Excuse me, are you Secretary Qin from Yian?" the man came out and asked politely.

"Hello, I'm Qin Feng, here to see your Secretary Wu." Qin Feng nodded.

"Hello Secretary Qin, I am Secretary Wu's liaison. Secretary Qin, just call me Xiao Wang." Xiao Wang said hurriedly.

"Hello." Qin Feng extended his hand to Xiao Wang.

"Welcome Secretary Qin to our Tai'an County to guide our work." Xiao Wang politely held Qin Feng's hands with both hands.

"You're welcome. Where is Secretary Wu? Is he in the office?" Qin Feng pointed to Wu Zhitao's office.

"Secretary Wu is in a meeting. Secretary Qin, please sit in my office for a while. Secretary Wu said he will be back as soon as possible." Xiao Wang said.

Qin Feng frowned, and Zhou Liang's face was full of anger.

Qin Feng suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Okay."

Wu Zhitao was very arrogant and treated Qin Feng as his subordinate, and a subordinate who needed to be disciplined.

Qin Feng sat in Wu Zhitao's secretary's office for a full half hour before he saw Wu Zhitao slowly walking towards him.

"Secretary Wu, Secretary Qin has been waiting for you here for a while." Xiao Wang ran out and said to Wu Zhitao.
