“Qin City, theoretically yes. But you don't need to worry too much.”
Chen Feng replied with a calm smile.
“How do you explain that?”
“I think, the higher authorities suddenly sending down an undercover investigation team this time, besides targeting our four positions, there are other reasons. If they were purely targeting our four positions, they could have just transferred us away, there would be no need for so many small maneuvers. What do these small maneuvers imply? It means Ming City’s development is so good, everyone can see it. The higher authorities also dare not openly move against us, as it would stir up public anger. Moreover, another faction in the higher authorities would be watching them. Once they act recklessly, that other faction would have a reason to deal with them. Therefore, I think, their sending down an undercover investigation team this time, targeting us is just incidental. If they can get us removed, they will, if not, then so be it. The most important thing is to urge all departments in Ming City to maintain vigorous work states and let Ming City continue its high-speed development. In recent years, Ming City’s economic growth rate has long surpassed that of the provincial capital. Thus, the higher authorities attach great importance to Ming City's economic development.”
Chen Feng explained patiently.
Chen Feng’s explanation immediately put the three women’s minds at ease.
“Chen Feng, there are no outsiders here, so I won’t speak in platitudes. There are still many problems within the various departments of Ming City’s political arena. After all, Ming City has only developed in recent years, and many things need to be done slowly. Moreover, the various problems in political departments are not unique to Ming City; it’s a common ailment in political departments across China. With an undercover investigation team arriving within a few days, how to avoid giving them a handle is indeed a thorny issue.”
Qin Yan sighed deeply and said.
“City Mayor Qin, your concern is very valid. This is also why we few needed to hold a small meeting in advance. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang; if we discuss together, we should be able to come up with a good plan to make all departments in Ming City present a brand new look in these few days.”
Chen Feng explained with a serious expression.
“Brother Feng, I have an immature idea, I don't know if I should say it?”
Li Hongling, who was beside them, spoke up enthusiastically.
“The undercover investigation team from the provincial capital is arriving these days, and the situation is urgent, just say whatever you have to say.”
Chen Feng encouraged Li Hongling.
“Brother Feng, my idea is, to introduce a reward and punishment system. If anyone violates it, punish them severely, and they will definitely be revitalized.”
“Xiao Ling, your method is good, but it’s unrealistic to completely change the various problems that have appeared in Ming City’s departments within a few days.”
Chen Feng replied with a serious expression.
“That’s true, the reward and punishment system actually already exists. However, whether it can be implemented is a problem. Especially to fully implement the system within a few days is truly unrealistic.”
Li Hongling sighed deeply and said.
“Chen Feng, Xiao Ling’s proposal, I suddenly have an inspiration. Since a step-by-step reward and punishment system cannot be completed in a few days, let's take an unconventional approach and send supervisory teams to each department…”
Qin Yan said excitedly.
“City Mayor Qin, this method also won’t work. The higher authorities are sending an undercover investigation team. If we send supervisory teams to each department, they can easily detect it. Once they do, they will know we are faking it.”
Chen Feng shook his head and said.
“Chen Feng, in that case, isn't the matter of the provincial capital’s undercover investigation team unsolvable?”
Qin Yan said anxiously.
“Somewhat.”
Chen Feng said with a serious expression.
It must be said, this time, the provincial capital sending an undercover investigation team was a ruthless move.
A ruthless move that couldn't be solved.
From this point of view, China’s political arena can be governed from top to bottom. For example, if the higher authorities constantly send undercover investigation teams to political arenas across China, discover problems, and deal with them, within a few years, China’s political arena would definitely be revitalized.
However, the higher authorities have no intention of doing so, they only do this for key cities. For the vast majority of other places’ political arenas, the higher authorities turn a blind eye.
It’s not that they don’t want to do it, but they can’t.
China’s political arena is a huge society of favors, and basically eighty percent of officials enter the political arena through connections.
If they were to be serious, basically no one in China’s political arena could escape punishment.
In that case, the entire Chinese political arena would riot.
This outcome is something the higher authorities cannot bear.
Therefore, they can only turn a blind eye.
This is also the crux of the problem in China’s political arena.
They know where the problem lies, but they cannot begin to address it.
This is like Chinese men’s football.
1.4 billion people can’t play football well, and a fool knows why.
But why has this problem not been solved for decades?
It’s not that it can’t be solved, it’s just that no one is willing to solve it.
For example, national team players do not train for a long time, and they consume sea cucumbers, their bodies are filled with flabby fat.
A fool knows that playing football won’t be good like this, but is anyone managing this matter?
No!
The national team still eats sea cucumbers and still has flabby fat all over their bodies.
For example, when recruiting a player for the national team, the player needs to pay an 8 million qualification fee.
Does the higher authority know this?
Yes!
But have the relevant personnel been severely punished?
No!
Even if discovered, they are merely dismissed, not even imprisoned.
And the provincial capital sending an investigation team to Ming City this time is clearly not turning a blind eye, they are serious.
To be honest, when the political arena gets serious, it’s very difficult to deal with.
“Then what should we do? Does this mean that this time, all our efforts were in vain? We worked hard to develop Ming City’s economy, and it can be merged with Jiang City to form a super large prefecture-level city. But just because someone at the higher level is jealous, we have to give up our positions?”
Qin Yan said dejectedly.
Since she entered the political arena, this kind of thing has happened several times.
Before, because it did not involve the provincial capital, it was basically easy to handle.
However, this time, it is clearly that the provincial capital higher authorities want to snatch the fruits of labor, and it is difficult to escape.
“Don’t worry, City Mayor Qin.”
Chen Feng immediately comforted Qin Yan.
“The situation is so serious, how can I not worry? To be honest, the three of us, if we leave Ming City’s political arena, we just leave. But the problem is, your future is so bright, to be plucked like this, it’s too regrettable, too unwilling!”
Qin Yan said indignantly.
To be honest, along the way, Chen Feng has encountered too much unfair treatment.
Although tempering is a good thing, who can endure constant tempering.
“City Mayor Qin, to be honest, at first, I really had no clues. But after discussing with you just now, I have some ideas.”
Chen Feng said with a smile.
“You mean, you have a way to deal with the undercover investigation team sent by the provincial capital?”
Qin Yan asked excitedly.
“Something like that.”
Chen Feng continued to smile slightly.
“Then quickly tell me, what exactly is the method.”
Qin Yan urged.
“Guess?”
Chen Feng deliberately played coy.
