official career

Xie Zhiguo suppressed his anger and asked Xie Simin in a low voice, "How are you doing recently? How is your life?"

"Very good." Xie Simin replied coldly.

Xie Simin's tone made Xie Zhiguo not know what to say for a moment, and the father and daughter fell into silence.

Qin Feng was so embarrassed. He felt that this father and daughter were completely hopeless. They had been quarreling with each other for more than ten years, and there was a reason for it.

The two father and daughter had nothing to say to each other. Xie Zhiguo didn't know whether he didn't want to talk to Xie Simin anymore or didn't know how to talk to her. He said to Xie Simin, "Go sit outside for a while. I have something to talk to Qin Feng about."

"It's like no one wants to stay here." Xie Simin stood up and walked out in dissatisfaction.

"What did you say? Say it again?" Xie Zhiguo became angry again.

Qin Feng grabbed Xie Zhiguo who was standing up, but Xie Simin ignored him and walked out.

"She's becoming more and more unruly and disrespectful as she grows older. I don't know how her mother taught her." Xie Zhiguo was furious.

"Secretary Xie, can I tell you a few words of truth?" Qin Feng pulled Xie Zhiguo back to sit on the sofa.

"You said."

"Secretary Xie, Xiao Min is no longer the high school student she was before. She has now graduated from college and has been working for more than a year. She is a complete adult and can be responsible for her own life and her own actions."

"You, can't treat her like a child anymore." Qin Feng persuaded Xie Zhiguo.

"Alas... my father and I have the same personality and we just don't get along. I can't control her. She listens to you more than I do. From now on, I will leave her completely to you. Please take care of her for me." Xie Zhiguo sighed. How could he not know what Qin Feng said? However, knowing is one thing and being able to do it is another. In the eyes of parents, children are still children no matter how old they are.

"Let's not talk about her. When I had a work conversation with the mayor today, he mentioned you several times." Xie Zhiguo changed the subject.

Qin Feng didn't find it strange at all that Liu Xiaoping reported him to Xie Zhiguo. In the whole Xiquan, not many people knew about the relationship between Qin Feng and Xie Zhiguo, and only Tang Yun in the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee knew the truth.

"You must have said that I was unforgivable and worthless." Qin Feng smiled.

"He's not that stupid. He won't say it directly, but his words and actions show that he is very dissatisfied with you." Xie Zhiguo said.

Qin Feng nodded. Politicians rarely speak directly, unless it is between two people who are very familiar with each other.

"Speaking of this, Secretary Xie, I just happen to have something to report to you." Qin Feng said.

Xie Zhiguo stood up, asked Qin Feng to continue speaking, and took out a cigarette from the cabinet and threw it to Qin Feng.

These cigarettes were naturally prepared by the Municipal Party Committee Office as a treat.

Qin Feng was not polite either. He opened his cigarette, lit it, and while smoking it, he reported to Xie Zhiguo the entire incident of the pollution caused by the Zhongyang Chemical Factory from beginning to end.

At first, Xie Zhiguo didn't take it seriously, but after hearing what Qin Feng said later, he became very serious. He sat there with a dark face and listened to what Qin Feng said carefully.

Qin Feng recounted the entire incident in detail.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Xie Zhiguo fell silent.

"How did your talks with the foreign chemical factory go today? Did you get any results?"

"Yes, under our pressure, Zhongyang Chemical Factory signed a compensation agreement with Shuitou Village this afternoon. The total compensation is 28 million, which will be paid within three days. The matter is considered to be resolved." Qin Feng said.

"Are you willing to accept this result?" Xie Zhiguo asked, looking up.

Sure enough, no one in the entire Xiquan City understood Qin Feng better than Xie Zhiguo.

"You understand me. I really can't accept this. If I can, I would definitely want to arrest all the people from the Zhongyang Chemical Factory and send them to jail to face severe punishment by law. What they are doing is just murder for money."

"But I knew from the beginning that this matter involved a lot of people. Even if I didn't make a big fuss, as long as I arrested Li Yang, the matter about the Zhongyang Chemical Factory would be impossible to cover up. This matter would definitely ferment and cause another earthquake in the officialdom of Xiquan."

"No matter from the overall situation of Xiquan, the development of Yian, or the impact on you, I can't do this. So I can only try to get more compensation for the people of Shuitou Village to make up for everyone's losses." Qin Feng sighed.

"The fact that you can think this way shows that you are mature, but not completely mature. Why did you use such an extreme method to deal with this matter? You were like this when you were in Shannan. How come you are still like this now that you have become the county party secretary? You haven't changed at all?"

"Is there no other solution to this problem? Must it be so extreme?" Xie Zhiguo questioned.

"Secretary Xie, you just came to Xiquan. Although the Secretary-General and I have introduced the general situation of Xiquan to you, you still don't know the specific situation of Xiquan. It's not that I want to do this, but I have no other choice but to do this."

"Liu Xiaoping is in control. If I don't use such extreme measures, the people of Shuitou Village will never get justice. Before you took office, Liu Xiaoping really had the final say in Xiquan." Qin Feng said.

"Then why didn't you report this to me?" Xie Zhiguo asked.
