official career

"I know about this, but I don't hold out much hope. I can't get past Liu Xiaoping." Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

"You have always been smart, why are you so stupid this time? Promoting you to be deputy mayor is the intention of the provincial party committee, and it is the collective will of the provincial party committee. As the mayor, Liu Xiaoping does have a lot of say in your promotion to deputy mayor, but if it is the provincial party committee that decides to promote you, does Liu Xiaoping's evaluation of you still have any meaning?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

"Secretary Xie, I know this. I am not very interested in the position of deputy mayor. Even if the provincial party committee promoted me to deputy mayor, considering Liu Xiaoping's hatred for me, my position as mayor would basically be a decoration. So it doesn't mean much to me whether I am promoted to deputy mayor or not." Qin Feng shook his head and clinked glasses with Xie Zhiguo again.

"There's no way the province couldn't have thought of what you can think of. Since the province plans to let you be the deputy mayor, you will definitely play a role. You don't have to worry too much about this." Xie Zhiguo didn't finish his words.

"Qin Feng, you came here specially to see me this time, not just to tell me these, right?" Xie Zhiguo asked Qin Feng again.

"Secretary Xie, I'm here to ask you for help."

"Help?"

"Yes, you have to go to Xiquan to take up your post immediately, otherwise I won't be able to carry out my work."

"Tell me."

Qin Feng told Liu Xiaoping and others about their suppression of Yian County.

After Xie Zhiguo heard this, his expression became very serious. After a long while, he sighed and said, "At that time, I advised you not to be so impulsive and reckless, but you didn't listen to me. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. Now you are reaping the consequences, right?"

"Indeed, but I don't regret doing this." Qin Feng's attitude remained firm.

"You are still as stubborn as before. You won't move when you are led, and you retreat when you are beaten." Xie Zhiguo cursed with a smile, and then asked Qin Feng seriously: "Qin Feng, what do you think of Liu Xiaoping?"

Qin Feng did not immediately answer Xie Zhiguo's words. After taking two puffs of his cigarette, he said, "An enhanced version of Li Chunsheng, even better than before."

Li Chunsheng was the former county magistrate of Shannan County.

"When he was the county magistrate, the county party secretary was a figurehead. When he was the county party secretary, the county magistrate was a figurehead."

"He has been working in Xiquan for many years. Many of Xiquan's leading cadres are his students and former subordinates. He is very powerful. When he was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, he was able to compete with the municipal party committee secretary Xia Junhua."

"Liu Xiaoping represents the local forces in Xiquan, and is also the umbrella for a large number of interest groups in Xiquan. This interest group has been operating for many years and is involved in almost all walks of life in Xiquan."

"Let me put it bluntly. Liu Xiaoping is the biggest cancer in Xiquan's officialdom. As long as he is here, Xiquan's political ecology will not improve, and Xiquan's economy will not improve either, because this conflicts with the interests of the group he represents."

"Xia Junhua has worked in Xiquan for so many years, and he has always wanted to purge Liu Xiaoping and others, but he has never succeeded. In the end, he was defeated by Liu Xiaoping."

"The cold disaster, on the surface, is a natural disaster, but in fact it is a political struggle. The governor said that this is a natural disaster and even more a man-made disaster. I think this is what he meant." Qin Feng said slowly.

Qin Feng had never said this to anyone before. After all, it was not something that could be said casually. If the other person was not Xie Zhiguo, Qin Feng would definitely not say this.

The cold disaster was a natural disaster, which no one had expected, but Liu Xiaoping did some tricks in the process of fighting the cold and disaster relief.

The reason why the disaster was so serious and the losses were so great was that Liu Xiaoping played a role in fanning the flames in secret, and used some means to shift all the responsibility to Xia Junhua and Liang Jianbo.

Xia Junhua and Liang Jianbo were both dismissed from their posts, and Liu Xiaoping played an ignominious role in this. Of course, his political gains were also huge.

Xia Junhua and Liang Jianbo were dismissed from their posts. Not only did he become the mayor, but without Xia Junhua's suppression, he began to have absolute power in Xiquan.

Of course, his original plan was for him to take over as the municipal party secretary, but the province did not allow him to do so.

Those people at the political center of Xiquan all know these secrets, but no one will or dares to say it. After all, there is no evidence of this matter, and no one can say anything about Liu Xiaoping, not even the provincial government.

Xie Zhiguo was naturally well aware of how complicated and sinister the political struggle was, so after Qin Feng said this, Xie Zhiguo was not very surprised, but his face became particularly gloomy.

Xie Zhiguo's face was gloomy because he felt the complexity of the situation in Xiquan.

Xie Zhiguo took a cigarette out of Qin Feng's cigarette box, and Qin Feng lit the cigarette for Xie Zhiguo.

"It seems that the most important driving force behind the province's decision to ask me to go to Xiquan to rectify the political ecology is this." Xie Zhiguo said slowly.

Qin Feng nodded.

"You came here early on purpose because you want me to do something?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

"I hope you can take office soon. Liu Xiaoping is now trying to overturn several strategic plans made by the municipal party committee and government against our Yi'an County. We must stop him. If he succeeds, the good situation of Yi'an's development will disappear, and my hard work in Yi'an will also be in vain."

"For Xiquan, the loss is also enormous. Moreover, if all these projects are really moved to Tai'an County according to Liu Xiaoping's plan, a series of corruption issues will be involved behind it." Qin Feng said it clearly again.
