official career

Just a few days after Xie Zhiguo had talked to Qin Feng, the news that Qin Feng was going to step down as secretary of the Yian County Party Committee and join the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee began to spread like wildfire within the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. There have never been any secrets in this place.

Qin Feng feels a little reluctant and unwilling to leave Yi'an County as he is about to step down as secretary of the Yi'an County Party Committee. He hopes that he can stay in Yi'an until the day when all of Yi'an's policies truly bear fruit. However, Qin Feng is filled with joy and excitement about being able to join the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee in one fell swoop. No one can be completely indifferent to power.

After the news came out, Qin Feng's office suddenly became very lively, and Qin Feng had more and more social engagements. Previously, most of the people who came to Qin Feng were comrades from the government, especially those in the poverty alleviation department. But after the news that Qin Feng was going to join the team came out, the party secretaries of various districts and counties began to come to Qin Feng one by one, as if they were rushing to sign up.

Qin Feng returned home from a social event that evening. It was already very late, but he still saw Zhu Dongliang standing at the door waiting for him.

Qin Feng was not surprised. Zhu Dongliang had already called Qin Feng in the afternoon. Qin Feng told Zhu Dongliang that he was not free in the evening. Zhu Dongliang said he could wait. Qin Feng said it would be very late, and Zhu Dongliang said it was okay.

Zhu Dongliang had made several appointments to meet Qin Feng, but because Qin Feng had been very busy recently and his work focus was all on the city government's poverty alleviation work, he returned to Yian less and less frequently, so Zhu Dongliang had no choice but to come to Xiquan to meet Qin Feng.

"Secretary." Zhu Dongliang nodded respectfully.

"How long have you been waiting?" Qin Feng asked with a smile as he opened the door.

"Not long after. It's really inappropriate to disturb the secretary's rest so late." Zhu Dongliang followed behind Qin Feng.

"No need to take off your shoes, just order whatever you want. Please sit down and I'll make you a cup of tea." Qin Feng came into the room and asked Zhu Dongliang to sit down.

"Secretary, don't bother."

"Please sit down! I live alone and there is not much homely atmosphere at home." Qin Feng chatted with Zhu Dongliang while boiling water.

Qin Feng personally made tea for Zhu Dongliang, and the two of them chatted while smoking.

"Comrade Dongliang, it's already very late, so I won't waste my time talking nonsense. You came to my place so late at night and waited at the door for so long. There must be something going on. Let's get straight to the point." Qin Feng said directly.

"I will not keep you in suspense so long as you are not disturbing your rest so late at night. Secretary, I have heard some news recently that the higher-ups are preparing to ask you to resign as secretary of the Yian County Party Committee and join the municipal party committee." Zhu Dongliang's question was quite direct.

Qin Feng guessed that Zhu Dongliang must have come for this matter. Not only did Zhu Dongliang come here in person today, but Cao Changsheng also went to his office a few days ago.

"Comrade Dongliang, you are also an old comrade. There has never been a lack of gossip in the organization. It is enough to just hear some things and know what they are about. The organization has its own principles. It is best not to take things that have not gone through the organizational procedures too seriously, and do not discuss them casually." Qin Feng's words were ambiguous.

Qin Feng did not deny this, but he also did not admit it. Zhu Dongliang naturally knew how to understand it.

"Yes, yes, I know what the secretary is saying. Today I am just telling you that you must not talk about this matter before the organization officially announces it." Zhu Dongliang's attitude today was very humble, which made Qin Feng look at Zhu Dongliang more secretly.

Zhu Dongliang came here specifically for this matter, and it is impossible for Qin Feng to keep silent about this matter.

"This is not completely groundless. Secretary Xie did talk to me about this some time ago, but for now these are just the personal ideas of the leaders. But one thing is for sure, my departure from Yian County has basically been decided. You are here today for this matter, too, right?" Qin Feng made it clear.

"Yes, Secretary, I am here today for this matter. After hearing that you were leaving Yian County, I haven't slept for several days." Zhu Dongliang nodded.

Qin Feng smiled. He naturally didn't believe that Zhu Dongliang would really not sleep for several days because of this matter.

“I am happy to know that you are going to be promoted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. This is natural considering your work achievements in Yian. However, I am also deeply worried about your leaving Yian County,” Zhu Dongliang continued.

"Worried? Worried about what?" Qin Feng looked at Zhu Dongliang leisurely.

"Everyone knows that you are the backbone of Yi'an. Yi'an has undergone tremendous changes in just two years, all thanks to you. Now Yi'an is in the best development stage in history, both the agricultural industry and the tourism industry are in the stage of development. I think the timing is very inappropriate for the organization to transfer you away at this time."

"Of course, it's not that I don't want you to be promoted. I am genuinely happy that you have joined the municipal party committee. My concern is entirely based on the development of Yian as a whole." Zhu Dongliang explained again for fear that Qin Feng would misunderstand him.

"Without me, the butcher Zhang, will we have to eat hairy pigs? Not really. The prosperity of Yi'an today is not the result of my efforts alone, but the joint efforts and struggles of all the comrades in Yi'an. This credit does not belong to any one person, but to the entire Yi'an group."

"You said that I am the backbone of Yi'an. This is not true. The backbone of Yi'an is the county committee, our entire county committee team. If I leave Yi'an, there will naturally be other comrades to take my place. The world will still turn, and Yi'an will still develop. Maybe it will even develop better."

“I know what you are worried about. In fact, there is no need to worry. The development path of Yian has been clarified, and facts have proved that Yian is on the right path. Therefore, no matter who becomes the county party secretary, it is impossible and dare not change the development direction of Yian. The organization will not allow a comrade who is not familiar with the situation in Yian to serve as the county party secretary.” Qin Feng made his words clear again, especially the last sentence, because Qin Feng knew that Zhu Dongliang came here today for this matter.

Qin Feng told Zhu Dongliang that the organization would not let a comrade who was not familiar with the situation in Yian serve as the county party secretary, which meant that the new county party secretary of Yian must be selected from within Yian County. If he was selected from within Yian County, there would be almost no other possibility unless Cao Changsheng made any mistakes. Cao Changsheng would definitely be the next county party secretary.

Zhu Dongliang had ideas about the position of county party secretary, and Qin Feng knew this very well. Zhu Dongliang had always been fighting between Yian and Cao Changsheng. If Qin Feng had not forced it, the conflict between the two would have been exposed.

The main reason why Zhu Dongliang acted like this was not because he had ideas about the position of county party secretary.

Qin Feng told Zhu Dongliang this clearly in the hope that Zhu Dongliang would give up in advance and stop having any thoughts about the position of county party secretary that would be vacant after his departure. This would ensure the political stability of Yian to the greatest extent possible.
