official career

"When the Feitian Waterfall project was open for bidding, Liao Lijun came to me and introduced me to a company. His implication was that he wanted us to put on a show in the bidding process and secretly let the company he recommended take over the project."

"I remember you told me about this." Qin Feng remembered this.

"Yes, your opinion is the same as mine. The company he introduced is not strong enough and its reputation was not good before, so you asked not to open this backdoor and to conduct fair and just external bidding. You said that Feitian Waterfall is the most important project and there must be no problems in the construction of this project."

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded.

"So I rejected Liao Lijun on this matter. He was very angry at the time and even quarreled with me about this matter. I think his recent blockades on Yian County are probably revenge against me," said Cao Changsheng.

Qin Feng smoked without saying a word. After finishing his cigarette, Qin Feng suddenly sneered.

"He is not targeting you, he is targeting me. Doesn't he know that I am the deputy mayor and the secretary of the Yi'an County Party Committee? Isn't he targeting me when he targets Yi'an County? If he wants to target you, shouldn't he report these things to me in advance? But he has never reported these things to me so far, and he doesn't take me, the deputy mayor in charge, seriously at all."

"Last time he approved a tourism project in Tai'an County, but I rejected it at first. I asked him to put the Tai'an project in the second batch of tourism projects in Xiquan City. He is deliberately targeting me." Qin Feng leaned back in his chair and sneered.

Cao Changsheng was smart enough to keep silent. These matters were already matters at the municipal government level, and it was not his turn to interrupt.

"As for Liao Lijun, hehe, if a tiger doesn't show its power, do you really think I'm a sick cat? You don't have to worry about these things. I will take care of them before the Tourism Development Conference. You continue to push forward the work on your side and make all preparations for the Tourism Development Conference. You must hold the first Tourism Development Conference well." Qin Feng's eyes showed a fierce look.

Most of the time, Qin Feng's eyes were approachable, and Cao Changsheng rarely saw this kind of look in Qin Feng's eyes.

"The second thing is that you still need to make a decision on the punishment for Wu Shanquan."

Qin Feng frowned and asked, "What is the result of your discussion on this?"

"I have discussed this matter with Comrade Dong Liang and Comrade Lu Yi several times, but we could not reach a consensus."

"Tell me, what is Comrade Dongliang's opinion? What is Comrade Luyi's opinion? Let me tell you your opinion first." Qin Feng's tone became gentle.

"Mayor Qin, I think that we should criticize and educate Comrade Shanquan with a verbal warning at most, and it is not appropriate to be too harsh. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection did not intervene, let alone file a case, and handed it over to our county committee to handle it. This has already shown the attitude of the city. In this case, why should we be so harsh on our comrades?"

"Mayor Qin, Comrade Shanquan has just returned from outside to attract investment. This time, the investment promotion has achieved remarkable results. Thanks to Comrade Shanquan's efforts, our current agriculture has formed two major pillars, the first is camellia oil, and the second is honeysuckle. At the same time, Comrade Shanquan is also vigorously promoting modern characteristic agriculture, and the results are gradually showing."

Cao Changsheng kept saying good things about Wu Shanquan. Qin Feng understood Cao Changsheng. Wu Shanquan was indeed a talent. With Wu Shanquan around, he could share a lot of work pressure with Cao Changsheng and greatly promote the work of the county government.

"What is Comrade Lu Yi's opinion?" Qin Feng asked again.

"Comrade Lu Yi believes that Wu Shanquan has indeed violated discipline. We have already given him special care and we cannot let him off the hook any further. Comrade Lu Yi insists on giving Wu Shanquan a serious warning within the party and even removing him from his position within the party."

Qin Feng nodded and asked again: "What is Secretary Dong Liang's opinion?"

"Secretary Dongliang did not say it explicitly, but he also thought that a verbal warning to Wu Shanquan from within the county government was too light and not enough to convince the public. He agreed to give Wu Shanquan a serious warning within the party."

"But Mayor Qin, the party has issued a serious warning that this will seriously affect Wu Shanquan's future promotion and will have a great impact on his future development. What I am more afraid of is that this will affect his enthusiasm for work. I think that when it comes to the issue of punishment for Comrade Wu Shanquan, we should consider the overall development of our Yian more." Cao Changsheng looked at Qin Feng eagerly.

Qin Feng remained silent. In fact, Zhu Dongliang and Lu Yi had both called Qin Feng to express their opinions on this matter. Qin Feng was well aware of the attitudes of the three people, but he did not tell Cao Changsheng.

Not speaking is also a kind of leadership wisdom.

"Okay, I know about this. I will think about it carefully and talk to Comrade Dong Liang and Comrade Lu Yi." Qin Feng did not give any response to Cao Changsheng, nor did he reveal his attitude at all.

"Is there anything else?" Qin Feng asked again.

"There is another question, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not." Cao Changsheng hesitated.

"You go first."

"Recently, our comrades in the Discipline Inspection Commission have been very hard-working and active, and have been conducting a comprehensive review of all our Yian projects. First of all, I strongly support strengthening the supervision of major projects, and many problems have been found and dealt with during the review process."

"But, Mayor Qin, I think the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection should be done in a proper way. We cannot affect the normal progress of major projects due to the strengthening of supervision, and we cannot make people panic, so that everyone loses their focus on work and is afraid to move."

"There is a trend of lazy governance at the grassroots level. I have heard some people make up a catchphrase: the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, you make no mistakes. They say that our Discipline Inspection Commission is now like the Eastern Factory of the Imperial Guard. In this trend, doing nothing is the safest option."

"Mayor Qin, I think this matter needs attention. If it continues like this, there will be problems. We are in a period of great hard work in Yi'an now. You have finally raised the enthusiasm of cadres at all levels. We cannot let the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection dampen everyone's enthusiasm."

On the surface, Cao Changsheng was talking about something, but in fact he was suing Luyi.

"Has anyone reported anything to you?" Qin Feng asked calmly.

"Many people have reported it, and I have investigated it. It has indeed had a great impact on the work of the people below. The purpose of your request for increased supervision is to prevent these people from taking action, but the result now is that they are afraid to do anything. I think the actions of the Discipline Inspection Commission have violated your guidance." Cao Changsheng continued.

Qin Feng nodded again and said, "Okay, I know about this. I will find out more about the situation and will also go to Comrade Lu Yi to have a good chat about this matter."
