"You just mentioned two points. First, your energy is limited. You think you should focus more on Yi'an County. In fact, this is a cognitive error on your part. You are not used to looking at problems from the perspective of the entire city."

"What is the most important task of your Yian now?" Xie Zhiguo asked Qin Feng.

“Poverty alleviation.”

"So what kind of work does the province want you, the deputy mayor, to be responsible for now?"

“Poverty alleviation.”

"Has Xiquan City already determined which county will be the focus of poverty alleviation?"

"Of course it's our Yian County." Qin Feng replied.

"Look, these are two different things, but are they actually the same thing?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

Qin Feng nodded. He understood what Xie Zhiguo meant.

"In fact, letting you be responsible for the city's poverty alleviation work is precisely to better serve the poverty alleviation work in Yian County. It is also to better implement the poverty alleviation strategy determined by the Municipal Party Committee with Yian County as the focus. Do you understand what I mean?" Xie Zhiguo asked again.

Qin Feng nodded. He was now more convinced that it was not necessarily Hu Guangxiang but Xie Zhiguo who wanted Qin Feng to be responsible for poverty alleviation work.

"As for your second point, if the municipal government conscientiously implements the poverty alleviation strategy determined by the municipal party committee, you, as the deputy mayor, should conscientiously implement it. But if the municipal government deviates in the process of implementing the poverty alleviation strategy, you should take the initiative to step forward and act as the helmsman. You cannot let the poverty alleviation ship go astray." Xie Zhiguo continued.

"Secretary Xie, I understand what you mean, but I am just a deputy mayor. I can't be the helmsman just because I want to." Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

"Just focus on doing your own job. The Municipal Committee will make arrangements for other matters." Xie Zhiguo did not say it clearly.

Xie Zhiguo said this, and Qin Feng could only nod.

“Okay, starting from today, your work focus is no longer just on Yian County. You have to take charge of the poverty alleviation work in the entire city. Although the focus of poverty alleviation is in Yian County, it does not mean that our poverty alleviation work will only be carried out in Yian County.” Xie Zhiguo gave another instruction.

"I understand!" Qin Feng nodded again.

Qin Feng left Xie Zhiguo's office and returned to the car. He opened the window and sat quietly in the back seat while smoking and thinking.

Now Qin Feng can be sure of one thing: it is not Governor Hu Guangxiang but Xie Zhiguo who wants him to be in charge of poverty alleviation work in Xiquan City.

As the governor, Hu Guangxiang would not be in the mood to care about the trivial matters of Xiquan City, and it is impossible for him to know so much about the internal affairs of Xiquan.

The reason why Hu Guangxiang made this decision must be because Xie Zhiguo reported this work to him. Perhaps it was Xie Zhiguo who proposed to Hu Guangxiang that Qin Feng be responsible for poverty alleviation work.

Xie Zhiguo did not trust Liu Xiaoping. He was sure that Liu Xiaoping would make some moves in poverty alleviation and the tourism industry.

There is a huge interest group behind Liu Xiaoping. They will never let go of such a big piece of cake as poverty alleviation and development of tourism industry in Xiquan City.

If poverty alleviation funds and tourism industries were really placed in Yian, with Qin Feng sitting in Yian County, they would not be able to get their hands involved at all. This was something Liu Xiaoping and others could never accept.

Although the municipal party committee has determined that the development of the tourism industry and poverty alleviation work should focus on Yian County, in actual operations it is still the municipal government that is operating. There is a lot of room for maneuver, and many things are not entirely up to the municipal party committee to decide.

In order to prevent this situation from happening, Xie Zhiguo obviously decided to interfere with the division of labor among the leaders of the municipal government and forced Qin Feng to be responsible for poverty alleviation work.

Even if Qin Feng is only a deputy mayor, as long as Qin Feng is a thorn in his side, Liu Xiaoping will never let Qin Feng off, and no matter how small his move is, it will not escape Qin Feng's eyes.

Xie Zhiguo came to Xiquan City with a political mission, and poverty alleviation was the political mission given to him by the province, so Xie Zhiguo would never allow Liu Xiaoping to interfere in the matter of poverty alleviation.

This time, Xie Zhiguo pushed Qin Feng to a position of confrontation with Liu Xiaoping, and Qin Feng smiled bitterly again.

Qin Feng did not want to be an enemy of Liu Xiaoping, nor did he want to get involved in the vortex of power struggle in the city. He just wanted to stay in Yian, do his job well in Yian, and lead the people of Yian out of poverty and into prosperity. But the reality was that he had to be an enemy of Liu Xiaoping, and it was impossible for him to avoid the power struggle in the city.

In fact, Xie Zhiguo said something very right. Xie Zhiguo asked him to be responsible for the city's poverty alleviation work precisely in order to better serve Yian County's poverty alleviation work.

If Qin Feng is in charge of the poverty alleviation work of the municipal government, he can further ensure that these poverty alleviation funds and projects are implemented in Yian County as required. At least it will not be so easy for Liu Xiaoping to put these projects in Tai'an.

Qin Feng is the nail that Xie Zhiguo intends to drive into the municipal government, the nail that prevents Liu Xiaoping from messing around in the poverty alleviation work, and the fishbone stuck in Liu Xiaoping's throat.

"Never mind him. Anyway, Liu Xiaoping and I have been sworn enemies for a long time. Even if I don't get involved in this matter, Liu Xiaoping will not let me go." Qin Feng finally thought to himself.
