official career

Just as he was saying this, Qin Feng saw from afar a woman walking towards the cemetery with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

"Sister-in-law?" Qin Feng was very surprised.

"Sister-in-law? Who?" Hu Jiayun was a little surprised. She didn't know when Qin Feng had a sister-in-law.

"That's Secretary Xie's wife."

"Xie Zhiguo's wife?"

Qin Feng nodded.

"Then hurry over, I'll leave first."

"Sister, let's have lunch together at noon."

"Forget it, I have something to do there. Next time when I get to Zhongjiang, let's get together there." Hu Jiayun smiled at Qin Feng, then turned and walked away.

Qin Feng hurriedly walked towards the direction where Tian Huifen came from: "Sister-in-law."

"Qin Feng, I'm in mourning!"

"Sister-in-law, you know this too?"

"Your Secretary Xie called me yesterday and said he couldn't leave, so he asked me to attend Secretary Zhou's farewell ceremony on his behalf. He said Secretary Zhou is a respectable leader who has done him a favor, and he is also your father-in-law, so I must attend this farewell ceremony."

"As a result, when I came here today, the place was blocked. They said that if I wanted to attend the farewell ceremony, I had to report in advance and could only enter after approval. I didn't report in advance and was not allowed in." Tian Huifen explained.

Normally, this kind of ceremony is open to the public, with friends and relatives knowing that they can come to attend the farewell ceremony. However, due to Zhou Qiming's special status, several provincial leaders including Governor Hu Guangxiang also attended the farewell ceremony. The Dongyang Municipal Party Committee attached great importance to it and dared not close it, so outsiders were not allowed to attend the farewell ceremony.

"I called your Secretary Xie, and he said that if he could communicate with the Dongyang Municipal Party Committee, it would be troublesome, and the farewell ceremony might be over by the time the communication was completed. So he asked me to wait until the farewell ceremony was over to come and pay tribute to Secretary Zhou." Tian Huifen continued.

"Sister-in-law, you should have called me first."

"I thought about it, but considering that you are in a bad mood and must be very busy, I don't want to disturb you."

"Sister-in-law, thank you very much. On behalf of Zhou Qian and her daughter, I would like to thank you and Secretary Xie for your deep friendship."

"Don't say that. Your Secretary Xie said that his success today is inseparable from Secretary Zhou's promotion."

Qin Feng nodded. It was Zhou Qiming who pushed Xie Zhiguo to go to Shannan County to serve as the county party secretary.

"Sister-in-law, please come this way." Qin Feng accompanied Tian Huifen to Zhou Qiming's tombstone to pay tribute to Zhou Qiming.

After the worship, Qin Feng accompanied Tian Huifen and walked out slowly.

"Qin Feng, Xiao Min is so grateful to you for taking care of her. She caused you so much trouble, but she never even said thank you."

"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. Xiao Min is my sister. It's only natural for a brother to take care of his sister. And with Secretary Xie there, there's no need for me to take care of her."

"Don't I know what the relationship between these two father and daughter is like? Let alone taking care of each other, I would be grateful if they were not enemies. I don't know what sins I committed in my previous life to have met such a pair of enemies, and I am worried sick of them." Tian Huifen cursed.

Qin Feng smiled foolishly.

"When are you going back to Xiquan?"

"It's not clear yet. There are still some things that haven't been completed. I will go back after I finish them."

"Come to my house before you go back and bring me something for them and their daughter."

"Okay, sister-in-law, actually Secretary Xie and Xiao Min are both in Xiquan. You can also consider transferring your job to Xiquan. The organization has this rule. This way the family can be together. With you here, their father-daughter relationship will be much more harmonious."

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to bother with it. You don't have a fixed place to work. Maybe when I'm transferred there, he'll be transferred away suddenly. I'm going to retire in a few years. I've worked here all my life. My colleagues and friends are all here. I don't want to leave." Tian Huifen shook her head.

Qin Feng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

Qin Feng walked Tian Huifen to the gate of the cemetery, but suddenly saw another familiar face walking in from the gate.

Unlike the others who only held a bouquet of flowers, this person was followed by several people holding two large flower baskets and a large wreath.

What surprised Qin Feng was not that these people brought so many memorial items, but this person.

This person turned out to be Wang Bingrong.

Wang Bingrong walked in and was a little surprised to see Qin Feng.

"Mayor Qin, you...you...are still here?" Wang Bingrong looked at Qin Feng in surprise.

"Why are you here?" Qin Feng was even more surprised than Wang Bingrong. He had not told anyone in Xiquan City about the whole incident. Except for Xie Zhiguo, no one in Yian County knew about it.

The reason why Qin Feng said nothing was that he was afraid that people from Yian County would all flock here once they knew about it, causing unnecessary trouble and having a very bad impact.

"Since you have a friend, you don't have to see me off. Just stay." Tian Huifen said to Qin Feng.

"Sister-in-law, take care." Qin Feng watched Tian Huifen leave.

After Tian Huifen left, Qin Feng turned to look at Wang Bingrong: "How did you know?"

"I... happen to have a friend who works in the Dongyang Municipal Party Committee, so I know about this matter, and I also know that Secretary Zhou is your father-in-law, former father-in-law, so..."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, you are thoughtful. I will take you there."

Wang Bingrong happened to have a friend named Qin Feng who knew that this was probably fake. The reason why Wang Bingrong knew this was that he must have put a lot of effort into investigating his background. That's why he knew the relationship between Qin Feng and Zhou Qiming, and he also knew that Zhou Qiming's funeral was entirely organized by Qin Feng, so he seized the opportunity to come here.

Qin Feng was thinking that Wang Bingrong's "chance encounter" with him here must have been planned in advance.

Qin Feng was not angry. This kind of thing was too common in the official and business circles. It could be said to be a routine practice.

Of course, Qin Feng felt a little unhappy, but he was also touched. No matter what means Wang Bingrong used, he could specially run here from Yian to pay tribute to Zhou Qiming. Qin Feng was grateful for this kindness.

Qin Feng was just about to lead Wang Bingrong upstairs when he heard some noise behind him. Then he saw Wang Jun, Li Li and Li Jing walking towards him holding flowers.

"Wang Bingrong?" Wang Jun was surprised to see Wang Bingrong.

"Captain Wang, long time no see." Wang Bingrong hurriedly came over with a smile and shook hands with Wang Jun.

"Why are you here too?" Qin Feng walked up to Li Li and Li Jing and asked.

"Wang Jun told us. This happened too suddenly. Qin Feng, you have to accept my condolences." Li Jing said.

Qin Feng nodded.

"Why buy so many flowers?" Qin Feng asked.

"This is ours. This is from Hong Yue and her brother. Hong Yue insisted on coming to pay her respects in person, but we refused, so she went to buy the flowers herself, and Wang Jun brought them here."

"We were planning to attend the farewell ceremony today, but were not allowed in," Li Jing explained.

"Uncle." Wang Jun pulled Qin Feng aside and whispered to Qin Feng, "My sister-in-law told me earlier that Wang Bingrong visited Hong Haifeng's home yesterday afternoon and brought her many gifts. He also brought Hong Haifeng some good wine and cigarettes."

"My sister-in-law can't make up her mind and doesn't know what to do with it, so she asked me to ask you how to deal with these things. I didn't expect Wang Bingrong to come here." Wang Jun turned his head and looked at Wang Bingrong coldly.
