"Mayor Wang, to be honest, I really want to seize this opportunity. However, I can't bear to leave Deputy Mayor Qin. You know, Deputy Mayor Qin has been very good to me."
Chen Feng brought up Deputy Mayor Qin.
"Chen Feng, thinking like this shows a narrow perspective. To put it bluntly, you're just Deputy Mayor Qin's driver, nothing more. Don't act like you're inseparable, like years of comrades. Young man, you need to look further ahead!"
Wang Delai continued to persuade Chen Feng.
"That's true."
Chen Feng didn't confront Wang Delai directly.
"Since you've come around, I'll call Lianhua Town right now."
With that, Wang Delai picked up his phone to make a call.
"Mayor Wang, forget it. I've thought about it carefully, and I can't go to Lianhua Town."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"Didn't you just come around? Why can't you go?"
Wang Delai was stunned.
"I can leave Deputy Mayor Qin to pursue a great future, but what about Cheng Lu?"
Chen Feng calmly brought up Cheng Lu. If Wang Delai wasn't afraid of Deputy Mayor Qin, then he'd bring up Cheng Lu.
"You're going to Lianhua Town as an archive administrator. What does that have to do with Cheng Lu?"
Wang Delai retorted, looking dejected.
"Mayor Wang, you might not know this. Recently, I've collaborated with Cheng Lu on several matters, all assigned by Deputy Mayor Qin. If I suddenly leave Mingshan Town, Cheng Lu will be in a very passive position. Do you think Cheng Lu would agree?"
"Forget it, it seems you're out of luck. You have to give up such a good opportunity."
Wang Delai sighed to himself, mocking his own fate.
However, in his heart, he became even more determined to deal with Chen Feng. If he didn't act now, once this guy became established, there would be no chance to do anything. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Deputy Mayor Qin, I want to resign."
After leaving Wang Delai's office, Chen Feng went to Qin Yan's office immediately.
"What's wrong? Why do you want to resign so suddenly?"
Qin Yan looked at Chen Feng blankly.
"I've offended Wang Delai, and he's going to target me now. To avoid collateral damage, it's better for me to resign."
Chen Feng explained his words one by one.
"Are you talking about the Wuli River Reservoir incident?"
Qin Yan asked back.
"Yes, the Wuli River Reservoir incident put Wang Delai in a very passive position. Moreover, Wang Delai mistakenly believes I will use the Wuli River incident to blackmail him severely and make things difficult for him. Therefore, he will definitely scheme against me with all his might. I don't want to implicate you because of my affairs, so it's better for me to resign."
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"Chen Feng, you're overthinking it. We are now a single entity. Do you think Wang Delai will let me off after he deals with you?"
Qin Yan advised Chen Feng.
"Wang Delai dealing with you? Surely not?"
Chen Feng replied with astonishment.
"Why not? You're my driver, my confidant. Wang Delai isn't stupid; he'll definitely connect the dots immediately and realize that all these things you've done were orchestrated by me."
"But none of these things were instructed by you. I did them all by myself."
"That's what you think, but Wang Delai doesn't. So, don't mention resigning again."
"If I don't resign, how will Wang Delai be dealt with?"
Chen Feng asked tentatively.
"Since we've completely fallen out with Wang Delai, we can only brace ourselves and fight back. This is how power struggles work; it's a fight to the death. Of course, if you're afraid, you can resign and withdraw. I won't force you to stay in the political arena."
Qin Yan said earnestly.
"Deputy Mayor Qin, don't worry. From the day I decided to enter the political arena, I was mentally prepared for this. No matter how brutal it gets, I will persevere. However, how do we fight back against Wang Delai?"
"Isn't the Wuli River incident an opportunity?"
Qin Yan replied with a faint smile.
"On the surface, the Wuli River incident is a great opportunity to deal with Wang Delai, but reality isn't like that. I investigated, and the village chief of Hewu Village was involved. There's no direct evidence indicating Wang Delai's involvement."
Chen Feng sighed.
He had to admit that Wang Delai was a cunning opponent.
For many things, he felt he had done them, but there was simply no evidence.
"As long as we believe Wang Delai was involved, then we'll find a way to prove his involvement! Historically, wasn't Yue Fei treated like this? Of course, with the means of 'perhaps,' we can't achieve that with our current strength. However, we can blow up the public opinion surrounding the Wuli River Reservoir incident and incite public anger. This way, Wang Delai, the top official of Mingshan Town, will definitely be dealt with. This is why, after every accident, there's a head official who resigns in disgrace."
Qin Yan explained.
"Deputy Mayor Qin, I underestimated the political arena."
Chen Feng exclaimed, playing along.
Although the political arena didn't have swords and spears, the atmosphere was no less intense than on the battlefield.
"You'll get used to it. By the way, do you have any acquaintances in the provincial capital?"
Qin Yan asked subconsciously.
"Deputy Mayor Qin, isn't the front-page headline of Jiangcheng Daily enough?"
Chen Feng asked with confusion.
"It would have been enough. Jiangcheng governs Yongming County and Mingshan Town, which is more than sufficient. However, Wang Delai has deep connections in Jiangcheng. It's unrealistic to expect Jiangcheng to handle Wang Delai; we need the provincial level to intervene."
Qin Yan said solemnly.
"I see. Then I'll head to the provincial capital now and try to find my old classmate to see if he has any connections there. However, I might need some operating funds."
Chen Feng said softly.
"Don't worry about the money. I'll give you a card to take to the provincial capital. Take as much as you need. This time, we must bring down Wang Delai, or we'll be in trouble."
"Deputy Mayor Qin, don't worry, I'll amplify the public opinion of the Wuli River Reservoir incident in the provincial capital."
Chen Feng replied confidently.
His classmate worked at a network company in the provincial capital and was well-informed. He should know how to make an incident go viral.
In the afternoon, Chen Feng arrived at his classmate's company, the provincial capital's Hongfa Network Company.
Frankly speaking, this company acted as an agent for advertisements on platforms like Weibo, Baidu, Douyin, and Douban. As long as they were paid, they would place advertisements on these websites.
"Chen Feng, I never expected that you, the best computer technician in our class, wouldn't go into the computer industry and instead jumped directly into the political arena."
Chen Feng's classmate, Sun Gu, exclaimed.
"Just trying to make a living."
Chen Feng replied modestly.
To be fair, although Sun Gu's current salary was much higher than his, in terms of future prospects, he couldn't compare to being a driver for a leader.
This was the allure of the political arena; as long as there was an opportunity, there were infinite possibilities!
"By the way, you came to the provincial capital to see me, is there something important?"
Sun Gu asked directly.
"There's nothing else, really. It's just that a major event happened in Jiangcheng, but the news blockade in Jiangcheng is very severe, and the provincial capital has no idea about it. My intention is, do you have any way to spread this matter in the provincial capital?"
"Chen Feng, although I'm not in the political arena, I understand some simple matters of power. Your situation is very dangerous! Think about it, someone who can block news across the entire city has terrifyingly vast power. Are you sure you want to confront this formidable figure?"
Sun Gu advised Chen Feng with anxiety.
