official career

Qin Feng went to inspect Xiao Jianan's New Era Plaza project. After the inspection, he had a working lunch at the project site and then drove to the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee.

After waiting for a while at the Municipal Party Committee, Qin Feng respectfully came to the office of Duan Hongyu, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

Duan Hongyu came to talk to Qin Feng on behalf of the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee, and the target was naturally the Cao Changsheng corruption case that occurred in Yian.

Duan Hongyu criticized Qin Feng on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee for more than ten minutes, using very sharp words.

Qin Feng had already prepared himself mentally for being scolded before he came. After all, the incident this time was so huge that the entire Xiquan Municipal Party Committee was in a very passive position.

When the Yian tourism market was booming, it was suddenly revealed that there was serious corruption in the construction of tourism projects, and the person leading the corruption was the head of a county. For the entire Xiquan Municipal Party Committee, this was considered a major political event.

After Duan Hongyu's criticism, Qin Feng began to review himself to the organization, made profound self-criticism, and promised never to make the same mistake again.

After coming out of Duan Hongyu's office, Qin Feng felt a little more relaxed. Duan Hongyu never mentioned any punishment from beginning to end, which meant that the treatment against him did not rise to the level of punishment.

It has been such a long time since the incident happened, and although the final result only came out today, the handling of this matter must have been discussed and the results reached long ago.

After coming out of Duan Hongyu’s office, Qin Feng returned to his own office in the municipal government.

Because of the incident in Yian, Qin Feng has not returned to the municipal government for a long time, and he doesn't know how much work is piled up on his hands.

Qin Feng sat in the office signing documents until the end of the get off work day, then had a quick dinner in the government cafeteria and asked Wang Jun to drive him home. He planned to take a shower, change clothes, and then go meet Xie Zhiguo.

But as soon as Qin Feng returned to the door, he saw Zhu Dongliang standing there waiting for him.

"Secretary." Zhu Dongliang smiled and said respectfully, "I know you are busy, so I can only wait here for you to get off work."

Zhu Dongliang had been to Qin Feng's house once last time, so he was familiar with the place this time.

Zhu Dongliang was still very sensible. He always came to Qin Feng's house alone and did not bring his driver or secretary with him.

"Is there anything wrong?" Qin Feng looked at Zhu Dongliang indifferently and asked even though he knew the answer.

"Secretary, I've always wanted to ask you to make a self-criticism, but you were busy with work and I never found a good opportunity." Zhu Dongliang put himself in a very humble position.

What Qin Feng hates most in his life is people who are disloyal. Just like he said at the meeting today, what he hates most is people who stab him in the back, so Qin Feng has a deep hatred for Zhu Dongliang.

But Zhu Dongliang had already blocked his doorstep, and it would be unreasonable not to see him.

"Come in and talk!" Qin Feng said lightly, then took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

Zhu Dongliang followed Qin Feng into the house obediently.

After Qin Feng entered, he did not invite Zhu Dongliang to sit down like last time, nor did he go to make tea for Zhu Dongliang. Instead, he sat down on the sofa, looked at Zhu Dongliang standing in front of him and said, "You can tell me what you want to say now."

Zhu Dongliang stood there awkwardly. He didn't dare to sit down unless Qin Feng asked him to. He could only stand in front of Qin Feng respectfully.

The person who suffered the most in this corruption case in Yian was naturally Cao Changsheng. He has been put in jail and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out without serving a few years. Apart from Cao Changsheng, the person who suffered the most was not Qin Feng, but Zhu Dongliang. Especially after the investigation team finished its investigation and Qin Feng continued to serve as the county party secretary and deputy mayor without any incident, Zhu Dongliang even wanted to commit suicide.

Zhu Dongliang heard clearly what Qin Feng said at the meeting today, and was frightened. This is why Zhu Dongliang was so "shameless" as to run to Qin Feng's door to block him.

Zhu Dongliang had actually thought about what to say before he came to see Qin Feng, but now standing in front of Qin Feng he suddenly didn't know how to start the conversation. He was very conflicted and had a fierce ideological struggle.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, go back. I have to see Secretary Xie after taking a shower." Qin Feng said coldly.

Qin Feng was about to meet Xie Zhiguo, which deeply touched Zhu Dongliang. Zhu Dongliang said without any hesitation: "I'm sorry, Secretary. I'm sorry to you and the people of Yi'an."

"What do you feel sorry for me?" Qin Feng continued to ask knowingly.

"This time, Cao Changsheng's corruption case was committed by Lu Yi and I," said Zhu Dongliang.

Qin Feng looked at Zhu Dongliang in surprise. Although Qin Feng had known it for a long time, Zhu Dongliang suddenly said it so "clearly" in front of him, which made Qin Feng feel uncomfortable.

Qin Feng stared at Zhu Dongliang, wondering why Zhu Dongliang took the initiative to confess all this to him, because Zhu Dongliang had no need to say it. Some things are known to everyone, but speaking them out is another matter, not to mention that Zhu Dongliang took the initiative to say it.

Qin Feng looked at Zhu Dongliang for several seconds, then lowered his tone: "Sit down!"

"Thank you, Secretary." Zhu Dongliang felt relieved. From Qin Feng's softened tone, he knew that his bet was right. He quickly sat down on the sofa and took the initiative to hand Qin Feng a cigarette and light it for him.

There are mainly two reasons why Zhu Dongliang "lowered himself" and "confessed voluntarily" in front of Qin Feng.

First, Qin Feng is fine and continues to serve as the secretary of the Yi'an County Party Committee. No one knows Qin Feng's dominance over Yi'an better than Zhu Dongliang. This time he betrayed Qin Feng, and Qin Feng obviously knew that he was the one who did it. If he cannot get Qin Feng's forgiveness, even if he is the deputy secretary of the Yi'an County Party Committee, his life will be very difficult in the future. If Qin Feng is a little more ruthless and his means are a little more despicable, he may become the next Cao Changsheng at any time.

The fundamental reason why Zhu Dongliang failed to maintain the "dignity" that a deputy secretary of a county party committee should have in front of Qin Feng was that there was a huge gap between his power in Yian and Qin Feng's power, so he did not have the courage to stand up in front of Qin Feng.

The second reason is that Zhu Dongliang wanted to take over the position of county magistrate vacated by Cao Changsheng.

The situation in Yian County is different from that in other counties. When selecting county governors in other counties, the county party secretary has the right to recommend, but this right of recommendation does not have much effect in most cases. Therefore, in other counties, the deterrent power of the county party secretary on the county governor and the deputy secretary of the county party committee is not that strong.

But it is different in Yian County. Everyone in the team is aware of the close relationship between Qin Feng and the municipal party secretary Xie Zhiguo, and they also know that Qin Feng has connections with the provincial party committee leaders. Qin Feng basically has 80% of the decision-making power on who will be the county magistrate.

Zhu Dongliang knew that Qin Feng had already known that he was behind this. Under this circumstance, how could Qin Feng still support him to take over as county magistrate? Zhu Dongliang became even more anxious when he heard that Qin Feng was going to meet Xie Zhiguo in the evening and Minister Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department tomorrow.

Not to mention just asking him to lower his posture in front of Qin Feng, even if Qin Feng asked him to kneel down now, he would kneel down without hesitation.

For most people, face and dignity are worthless in the face of personal interests.
