official career

Qin Feng smiled and said, "You don't need to come and test my opinion. Since the higher-ups have not made any advance arrangements for our Yi'an County, it means that they have no arrangements for our Yi'an County."

"No arrangements? What does that mean?" Cao Changsheng was stunned.

“No arrangements mean no arrangements are needed.”

Cao Changsheng thought about it and then understood what Qin Feng meant.

"You mean you won't be transferred?"

"I told you before that I won't leave until Yi'an is completely out of poverty."

"Deputy mayor and county party secretary? This arrangement is not common."

"Deputy mayor is just a figurehead. My job is to be the county party secretary." Qin Feng explained, and then asked Cao Changsheng: "Are you disappointed that I didn't get transferred?"

Qin Feng was joking.

"Someone else might be disappointed, but I really don't want you to be transferred." Cao Changsheng said with a smile.

"why?"

If Qin Feng is transferred, County Mayor Cao Changsheng will be the most likely to take over as County Party Secretary.

"Without you as the pillar, I can't hold on to Yian." Cao Changsheng told the truth.

Given the various difficulties Yian is currently facing, if Qin Feng had not been there, Yian would have been completely paralyzed long ago.

From work ability to relationships with higher-ups, Cao Changsheng knew that he was several levels behind Qin Feng.

"How was the situation in the city today? Has the city loosened its stance?" Qin Feng asked.

Cao Changsheng sighed and shook his head.

"There's basically no hope on the municipal government's side. If Secretary Xie doesn't support us, we'll really be in trouble for Yian." Cao Changsheng began to look worried again.

"Don't worry, Secretary Xie will support us, and Yian's status cannot be changed just because Liu Xiaoping says so. This is the province's intention. His tricks will only delay time and cannot change the final result." Qin Feng handed Cao Changsheng a cigarette.

"What does the province mean? Has the province clearly identified Yian as a key county for poverty alleviation and tourism?" Cao Changsheng was a little excited.

"No." Qin Feng shook his head.

Cao Changsheng became gloomy again.

"Although the province didn't say it explicitly, the meaning is very clear. Think about it, if the province wants to promote me to be the deputy mayor, they can just make me the deputy mayor first. Why don't they let me leave Yi'an County? If they don't want me to leave Yi'an County, why do they want me to be the deputy mayor?"

"Although I don't quite understand what the provincial leaders are thinking, there must be a purpose for the province to make such an arrangement, that is, the province attaches great importance to our Yi'an County. This is beyond doubt. Otherwise, they would not have promoted me to be the deputy mayor, and would not have allowed me, a deputy mayor, to concurrently serve as the county party secretary."

"Liu Xiaoping had a good idea. He wanted to re-do the process and transfer the previously determined status of Yi'an County to Tai'an County. But he thought the problem was too simple."

"First, he has to get approval from Secretary Xie, and second, he has to get approval from the provincial government. The funds involved are huge, and the city cannot decide on its own. Even if the city decides, it still needs approval from the province, after all, most of the funds come from above."

"I can say with certainty that Secretary Xie cannot pass this test, let alone the provincial one. The fact that I can become the deputy mayor is the best proof. Of course, Liu Xiaoping may not understand this relationship."

"Don't worry, no one can shake Yi'an's position. Just hold on a little longer, and things will soon turn around."

What Qin Feng said was half true and half false. He said this to strengthen Cao Changsheng's confidence. After all, there was no other way except to continue to persevere.

Qin Feng had just finished talking to Cao Changsheng when there was a knock on the door and Zhang Yuguang walked in.

"What's the matter?" Qin Feng asked.

Zhang Yuguang came into Qin Feng's office for something important.

"I just received a notice from the Municipal Party Committee that Secretary Xie of the Municipal Party Committee will come to our Yian for inspection next Tuesday morning." Zhang Yuguang said hurriedly.

Qin Feng and Cao Changsheng were stunned when they heard the news.

This is huge news. The city party secretary’s visit is no small matter.

Qin Feng thought for only a few seconds before he burst into laughter and said to Cao Changsheng, "See, I was right, wasn't I? Isn't this a turning point?"

Cao Changsheng didn't understand what Qin Feng meant for a moment, but he was confused for a moment, then he jumped for joy and said to Qin Feng: "Secretary, we must make good arrangements for the project that Secretary Xie is inspecting this time."

"Go and notify all the leaders at home to gather a meeting to study this matter. Call the leaders of the Party Committee and the government over!" Qin Feng thought for a moment and instructed Zhang Yuguang.

Zhang Yugang turned and left. At this time, Qin Feng's cell phone rang. It was a call from Secretary-General Tang Yun.

"Secretary-General."

"Qin Feng, have you received the notice?"

"I just received this message, Secretary General. Why did Secretary Xie suddenly decide to come to Yi'an to inspect our work? You have to give me the lowdown, otherwise I'm going to be unsure."

"Don't you know why Secretary Xie wants to inspect your Yian? First, it shows his importance to you. Second, it shows his importance to Yian County. Third, isn't this to help you solve your problems?" Tang Yun cursed with a smile. He knew that Qin Feng was asking a question even though he knew the answer.
