official career

After taking the oath, Qin Feng officially took office as the deputy mayor of Xiquan Municipal People's Government.

Qin Feng walked out of the venue after taking the oath.

At the entrance of the venue, Gu Jian, Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and Director of the Office, was standing there with a young man waiting for Qin Feng.

"Mayor Qin, congratulations!" Seeing Qin Feng coming out, Gu Jian walked over and stretched out his hands to Qin Feng with a smile.

Qin Feng knew Gu Jian, but they had hardly any dealings.

"Hello, Secretary-General Gu." Qin Feng shook hands with Gu Jian.

"Mayor Qin, this is Xiao Li, Li Jianjun, who will be your secretary from now on." Gu Jian introduced Qin Feng to a well-mannered young man who was about 35 or 36 years old and wore glasses.

Of course, in Qin Feng's eyes, thirty-five or thirty-six years old are considered young people, even though they are older than him.

It is a rule that every deputy mayor has a secretary who is responsible for his or her work.

Although Qin Feng was followed by Zhou Liang, Zhou Liang was only the liaison officer of the Yian County Party Committee and was responsible for Qin Feng's liaison work with the Yian County Party Committee. This secretary was naturally responsible for Qin Feng's work in the municipal government.

"Hello, Mayor Qin, my name is Li Jianjun." The young man hurriedly said to Qin Feng respectfully.

Qin Feng nodded, not taking it too seriously.

In Qin Feng's mind, he, the deputy mayor, was just a nominal position, so he didn't care at all about the secretaries arranged by the municipal government. His main job was still in Yian County.

"Mayor Qin, I'll take you to the office..." Gu Jian said.

"Um... Secretary Gu, let's forget about it today. I have an important meeting when I return to Yian. You can assign the relevant work to Xiao Li. I'll leave first." Qin Feng stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gu Jian again, then left with Zhou Liang.

Gu Jian was completely stunned.

Qin Feng officially took office as deputy mayor today. The normal procedure should be that he should be taken to the municipal government to be introduced to his office and work arrangements, and then Qin Feng should report to Mayor Liu Xiaoping.

But Qin Feng was so good that he didn't even want to enter the city government. He shook hands and turned away.

Qin Feng took Zhou Liang into the car and asked Wang Jun to drive the car back to Yian County.

Qin Feng took office as deputy mayor, but the entire municipal government did not make any arrangements. At least there was no welcome party or meeting. The entire municipal government was extremely cold towards Qin Feng's appointment as deputy mayor. Qin Feng understood that Liu Xiaoping did this on purpose.

Since Liu Xiaoping didn't take him seriously, there was no need for him to try his best to please Liu Xiaoping, so he was too lazy to report to Liu Xiaoping. He was just a figurehead as the deputy mayor, and Liu Xiaoping would not give him any real power, nor would he let him be responsible for any specific work.

Because of this, Qin Feng was too lazy to waste time going to the city government. As for the office, secretary and so on arranged for him by the city government, he didn't need them at all, so there was no need to waste time on these things.

Qin Feng had just gotten into the car when he received a call from Xie Zhiguo's secretary Gao Wei: "Hello, Director Gao."

"Mayor Qin, Secretary Xie asked you to come to his office now."

"Now?" Qin Feng was a little surprised.

"Yes, Secretary Xie is waiting for you in the office."

"Oh, okay, I'll be there right away, but Secretary Xie, please wait for a few minutes." After Qin Feng hung up the phone, he asked Wang Jun to turn around and go to the Municipal Party Committee immediately.

When Qin Feng arrived at Xie Zhiguo's office, Gao Wei hurried out.

"Mayor Qin, Secretary Xie is waiting for you in the office." Gao Wei said respectfully.

"What does Secretary Xie want to see me about?"

"I don't know about that." Gao Wei smiled, led Qin Feng to the door of Xie Zhiguo's office, knocked on the door, and walked in: "Secretary, Mayor Qin is here."

"Hmm." Xie Zhiguo lowered his head and corrected the documents, and hummed.

Gao Wei turned around and invited Qin Feng in, then made tea for him.

Xie Zhiguo was reviewing documents, so Qin Feng did not disturb him.

"Sit down." Xie Zhiguo greeted Qin Feng without even raising his head.

Qin Feng sat down on the chair. Gao Wei poured Qin Feng a cup of tea, then walked out of Xie Zhiguo's office with the thermos and closed the door.

Only after Gao Wei closed the door did Xie Zhiguo put down the pen in his hand and look up.

"Have you reported to the municipal government?" Xie Zhiguo asked Qin Feng.

"No." Qin Feng shook his head.

"Hmm? Why don't you report in?"

"The municipal government doesn't seem to welcome me very much, and my position as deputy mayor is just a nominal one. The municipal government has no plans to let me be in charge of specific work. My work focus is still in Yian, so I don't think it's necessary to waste too much time in the municipal government." Although Qin Feng's words were obscure, his meaning was very clear.

"Nonsense!" Xie Zhiguo was a little angry.

"Do you think the position of deputy mayor is a joke? Do you think you are serving some individuals as the deputy mayor? If he doesn't welcome you, you won't report for duty? Are you not performing your duties seriously? You have to understand clearly that you were not recommended by the municipal government to be the deputy mayor. You were promoted by the provincial party committee and elected by the people's congress. Do you understand what I mean?" Xie Zhiguo was very serious.
