official career

"Why should I target you?" Liu Xiaoping asked with a smile.

"If I defeat Xie Zhiguo, do I still need to target you? What good will it do you? By then, you can't shake my position or my interests. And given your current position, it will cost me a lot to target you. Do you think it's worth it? Would I be stupid enough to do that?"

"Besides, there are two big Buddhas sitting behind you. Do I need to offend them because of a little person like you?"

"Qin Feng, you have political acumen. When the day comes and I take that position, I will need one or two people who can get things done. You are the best choice. No matter who takes any position, they will make the same choice."

"So you can rest assured that if I win, Xie Zhiguo will not turn around and deal with you."

"Of course, I know you are not at ease. So, Qin Feng, after you take office, I will hand over all the matters that the executive vice mayor should be in charge to you, without any delay. In addition, all the work of poverty alleviation will be handed over to you, and I will never interfere. In addition, I will hand over the finances to you to show my sincerity. How about it?" Liu Xiaoping said with a smile.

Qin Feng was really surprised this time. Liu Xiaoping actually agreed to hand over the most important financial power in his hands to him.

"Are you so sure, Mayor, that I will choose to stand by and watch?" Qin Feng asked with a smile, still keeping silent.

"Because you are a smart person, and smart people will definitely make the smartest choice. Qin Feng, you don't have to give me an answer, I believe you will make the best choice." Liu Xiaoping looked very confident.

Qin Feng also smiled and said, "It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, Guanlin, see Comrade Qin Feng off." Liu Xiaoping called Cao Guanlin over.

"Mayor Qin, please come this way." Cao Guanlin smiled and escorted Qin Feng out of the yard.

Li Jianjun was already standing at the door waiting for Qin Feng. When he saw Qin Feng coming out, he quickly opened the car door.

Qin Feng shook hands with Cao Guanlin, said a few polite words and got into the car.

After Qin Feng got in the car, his face became serious and he didn't say a word.

Li Jianjun saw Qin Feng's serious expression through the rearview mirror, so he wisely didn't say a word. It was not a good time to take the initiative to talk to Qin Feng.

After seeing Qin Feng off, Cao Guanlin walked into the villa.

Also in the pavilion, the girl who played the guzheng before was already sitting on Liu Xiaoping's lap and feeding him cherries.

The woman who looked ethereal and otherworldly before suddenly became so unrestrained.

"Gone?" Seeing Cao Guanlin come in, Liu Xiaoping kissed the woman on the face in his arms and asked Cao Guanlin casually.

Cao Guanlin seemed to be accustomed to Liu Xiaoping's unruly behavior. He nodded, sat down opposite Liu Xiaoping, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Can Qin Feng be trusted? I don't believe he would betray Xie Zhiguo for this little benefit. The relationship between him and Xie Zhiguo is like that of father and son." Cao Guanlin asked.

"Like father and son? That's bullshit, do you really believe it? When it comes to interests, there are many cases of sons betraying their fathers and fathers killing their sons, not to mention that they are nothing. Don't worry, Qin Feng is a smart man. A smart man will definitely know how to make the best choice for himself. It will not do him any good to get involved at this time. Standing on the sidelines is the way to maximize his interests. No matter who wins the fight between me and Xie Zhiguo, he can reap the fruits of victory. Why not? Only a fool would choose to get involved." Liu Xiaoping was as confident as ever.

Cao Guanlin nodded, and then asked, "In fact, I don't think you need to agree to give him the financial power. The conditions you gave him are already generous enough. Besides, it is in his best interest not to participate. If you don't agree to this, he will also choose not to help Xie Zhiguo deal with you if he is smart."

"You don't understand." Liu Xiaoping's expression turned serious.

"Qin Feng is very important now. He is the most important chess piece that Xie Zhiguo has carefully laid out. This is Xie Zhiguo's most ruthless killer move."

"The municipal government is my foundation. This time he removed Huang Jiancheng and let Qin Feng take this position. It's like hitting me in the weakest part and holding my life."

"As long as Qin Feng stands on his side, I can't even keep the city government's base. What can I use to fight him? I will definitely be the one who dies in the end."

"The situation is now very clear. The person from the province has given Xie Zhiguo a death order. Xie Zhiguo can't wait any longer. I estimate that they will start to take action after Qin Feng comes up."

"So no matter what, we must win over Qin Feng before they take action. Even if we can't win him over, we must make Qin Feng neutral and not stand on his side."

"As long as Qin Feng doesn't stand on Xie Zhiguo's side to help deal with me, the city government's base can be preserved, and we won't have a fire in the backyard. Then I will have won half of the duel between Xie Zhiguo and me. On the contrary, if Qin Feng stands on Xie Zhiguo's side and sits in the city government to stab me from behind, I will definitely die."

"So, as long as I can win over Qin Feng and prevent him from standing on Xie Zhiguo's side to deal with me, it's worth it no matter how big the bargaining chip is."

"As for the bargaining chips given out... as long as Xie Zhiguo is killed, there will be plenty of opportunities to take them back from Qin Feng in the future." Liu Xiaoping's eyes were gloomy.

"But now these are all later matters. The most urgent task is to do everything possible to win over Qin Feng. You should spend more time with Qin Feng and ask them to go to Qin Feng as well. I don't need to teach you how to do it, right?" Liu Xiaoping pinched the beautiful woman's butt, causing her to pout.

Qin Feng sat in the car without saying a word, thinking carefully about what Liu Xiaoping said, then lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Li Jianjun whispered to the driver considerately, "Open the left window a crack."

Because Qin Feng smoked in the car, if the window was not opened, everyone would feel uncomfortable, including Qin Feng himself. But if the window was opened too wide, it would be cold, after all, it was the middle of winter and the New Year was coming soon.

Qin Feng was sitting on the right side of the back seat. Li Jianjun asked the driver to open the window on the left side of the car a little, so that ventilation could be provided without letting the cold air outside blow onto Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was naturally not in the mood to care about these things now. He had been thinking about every word Liu Xiaoping had just said to him.

After thinking for a while, Qin Feng took out his mobile phone and dialed Xie Zhiguo's number, which was Xie Zhiguo's own mobile phone number.

"Hello, Qin Feng, it's so late, has something happened?" Xie Zhiguo asked after picking up the phone.

"Secretary Xie, are you asleep? If not, I would like to come over and chat with you for a while." Qin Feng said.

"Okay, come over now." Xie Zhiguo said and hung up the phone.
