Chapter 2972 ​​The Storm Shouldn't Have Been Calm

Tang Zeyan paced back and forth in his office, restless and anxious.

As soon as the secretary opened the office door, Tang Zeyan immediately asked, "What big moves are the municipal government making?"

"No," the secretary shook her head.

Tang Zeyan was filled with doubts. He knew very well about the municipal party committee. Jiang Longjun had not made any moves so far, and the Yang family seemed unaware that their casino had been raided by the police yesterday. They hadn't made a sound either. Now, even Qin Feng's side hadn't made any moves. The whole thing seemed strange.

"No action is the biggest action. It seems that Yang Guoqiang and Jiang Longjun have surrendered to Qin Feng, but this shouldn't be the case..." Tang Zeyan felt more and more strange as he thought about it.

……

While Tang Zeyan sat in his office, puzzled, Ma Shanming walked into Jiang Longjun's office.

Although Jiang Longjun was cunning, as a veteran, he was always very calm and amiable.

But today, Jiang Longjun looked very unwell, sitting in his office with a livid face.

As soon as Ma Shanming entered, he sensed the chill emanating from Jiang Longjun and secretly reminded himself of something.

"Secretary, I have a few things to report to you." Ma Shanming sat down with a smile on his face.

Ma Shanming knew why Jiang Longjun's face was ashen, and he also knew what had happened from last night until now. As Jiang Longjun's number one confidant and the chief steward of the municipal party committee, he knew as much as Jiang Longjun, and perhaps even more.

"Go on," Jiang Longjun said, clearly not in a good mood, because he had been verbally abused by Cao Fanyi in the middle of the night.

As the Party Secretary of Shazhou, he couldn't control Qin Feng, allowing Qin Feng to act recklessly without any prior warning. He could only watch helplessly as Qin Feng investigated and shut down the Yang family's underground casino. How could this not enrage Cao Fanyi?

Cao Fanyi and Jiang Longjun share the same interests. They have nothing to do with the Yang family's underground casino, so they don't care whether the Yang family's underground casino is investigated or not. What they care about is their political interests, namely the stability of the entire Ganliang and Shazhou region.

Whether it's Cao Fanyi or Jiang Longjun, their only requirement is that nothing goes wrong.

Previously, for the sake of political interests, they chose to turn a blind eye to what the Yang family and the interest groups behind them were doing. What they did not expect was that the Yang family and the interest groups behind them would make those shady things bigger and more outrageous.

By the time Cao Fanyi realized this, the situation had become too complicated to handle, to the point that Cao Fanyi and his associates dared not touch it. If the deeds of the Yang family and the interest groups behind them were exposed, not only would the Yang family and the interest groups behind them suffer a devastating blow, but Cao Fanyi, who had initially condoned their development and bore leadership responsibility, would also bear unbearable responsibility and consequences.

Therefore, over the years, Cao Fanyi and Jiang Longjun could only continue to turn a blind eye to what the Yang family and the interest groups behind them were doing, and even had to try their best to help cover it up and go to great lengths to ensure that the Yang family and the interest groups behind them would not get into trouble.

All that Cao Fanyi and Jiang Longjun have done over the years has been for this purpose, and all that Jiang Longjun has done to Qin Feng in the past year has also been for this purpose.

Because Cao Fanyi knew that Gansu and Liangzhou were full of boils, he was afraid of being discovered by his superiors, so he resolutely disagreed with the capital's interference in Gansu and Liangzhou, fearing that these boils in Gansu and Liangzhou would be discovered by his superiors.

That's why Cao Fanyi was furious that Jiang Longjun hadn't taken a good look at Qin Feng, which almost caused Qin Feng to expose the entire veil covering Gansu and Liangzhou provinces, and he cursed Jiang Longjun for being incompetent.

After being scolded by Cao Fanyi last night, Jiang Longjun didn't sleep at all. For someone his age, not sleeping all night is like having a serious illness, but Jiang Longjun was indeed in a very bad mood.

"Speak," Jiang Longjun said coldly.

"Chen Guohua just came to see me and mentioned a few things," Ma Shanming said cautiously.

"Can't you just say what you have to say all at once?" Jiang Longjun said impatiently.

“He first reported to me that Qin Feng requested a meeting in the next few days to accelerate the implementation of the relocation and reconstruction project of the No. 1 Middle School in the city. The aim was to use administrative means to expedite the implementation of the project. He hoped that our municipal party committee leaders could also attend the meeting, so as to put more pressure on the relevant departments and thus promote the project’s implementation as soon as possible,” Ma Shanming replied.

Jiang Longjun was about to get a cigarette when Ma Shanming quickly got up and handed it to him. He then tried to light the cigarette for Jiang Longjun, but Jiang Longjun pushed him away and lit it himself with a lighter.

"He doesn't really want the municipal party committee to send someone to attend the meeting. He just came to tell you the news. Qin Feng is trying to curry favor with me. He knows what he did last night made me angry, so he's giving me a little something to appease me and treat me like a three-year-old child." Jiang Longjun sneered.

"Should we arrange for someone to participate?"

"Yes, of course we want to. You need to understand that although the relocation and reconstruction project of the No. 1 Middle School is a government project, it is actually our project. How could we not support our own project?"

“Qin Feng had always been indifferent to this project, so its progress was always slow. Now he plans to personally push it forward, which is great news for us. So, you will attend this meeting in person and make a statement that this project must be implemented by the end of the year at the latest. This is the bottom line of the municipal party committee,” Jiang Longjun instructed Ma Shanming.

"Okay, that's what I think too."

"Qin Feng is a shrewd guy. He's trying to curry favor with me this time, and I have no choice but to accept it and even feel indebted to him. Humph..." Jiang Longjun snorted again.

"In addition, Chen Guohua mentioned a few other things."

"Is there anything else?"

"Chen Guohua hopes that the projects undertaken by Huayang Group can resume construction, and he also hopes that several managers of Huayang Group can be released." Ma Shanming said while secretly glancing at Jiang Longjun.

"What do you think?" Jiang Longjun asked leisurely, puffing on his cigarette.

"I think we can't let it go, nor can we allow Huayang Group to resume construction."

“Secretary Jiang, Chen Guohua is ostensibly here to demand that Huayang Group resume construction and release their management personnel, but in reality, he wants our municipal party committee to give its stance on the fire at the sports center. If we agree to let Huayang Group resume construction and release their management personnel now, it would be equivalent to us not pursuing the fire at the sports center.”

“Huayang Group is Qin Feng’s only weakness. We finally have this opportunity to destroy Qin Feng, so we must not let him go just because he holds a promotion meeting,” Ma Shanming said.
