"I'm going to try something from a novel, wear diving gear, and sneak underwater to secretly bait Old Qian's hook."
Chen Feng didn't hesitate and explained the specific operation.
"Chen Feng, your brain is too sharp! You thought of this method too. Here, this is the activity fund, one hundred thousand. The money for Old Qian's gift is separate."
After speaking, Qin Yan handed Chen Feng a bank card.
"Deputy Town Mayor Qin, we don't need that much money."
"Keep the rest."
"Deputy Town Mayor Qin, I'm your driver. I'm helping you, how can I take your money?"
Chen Feng quickly explained.
"Don't talk nonsense. As long as you handle the Jiangcheng investigation team's affairs, a few tens of thousands of yuan is nothing."
With Qin Yan saying that, Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony anymore.
After some preparations, Chen Feng took Old Qian and his group to the reservoir on the outskirts of Mingshan Town.
"Little Chen, can we catch bream in the reservoir?"
Old Qian asked while enthusiastically setting up his fishing spot.
"Old Qian, I haven't fished much, so I'm not very clear about the specifics. However, I can confirm one thing, people often catch bream here, and they are quite big."
Chen Feng cooperated subtly.
The reason for choosing the reservoir wasn't because it was the best place to catch bream, but because it was easy to bait the hook underwater with diving gear without anyone noticing.
"Really?"
Old Qian asked excitedly.
Bream were the hardest freshwater fish to catch, and also his favorite. Catching a bream would make him happy for a week.
"Old Qian, even if you gave me ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare lie to you. Many people come here to fish every day, and many people catch bream. However, the bream they catch are small bream, not big ones."
Chen Feng replied with a serious expression.
"It's normal not to catch big bream. Bream are already difficult to catch, and big bream are even more so..."
After a brief explanation, Old Qian eagerly cast his hook into the water.
Chen Feng wasn't in a hurry to go into the water. As Old Qian said, bream were difficult freshwater fish to catch, and if he baited the hook in an instant, Old Qian definitely wouldn't believe it.
After waiting for about half an hour, Chen Feng secretly dived underwater to bait the hook.
To make the baiting look realistic, Chen Feng had previously asked experienced anglers about how bream bite and mimicked it when baiting the hook.
Thus, within an hour, Chen Feng baited two large bream.
When Old Qian reeled in the two large bream, he was in extremely high spirits, exclaiming that he had set a new record among anglers.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Chen Feng immediately came ashore from the water.
"Old Qian, is this bream? As I recall, bream aren't they small?"
Chen Feng asked deliberately.
"It's not that bream are small, it's just that it's rare to see large bream because large bream are among the hardest freshwater fish to catch."
Old Qian explained excitedly.
"Old Qian, in that case, your fishing skills are definitely number one in Jiangcheng. I checked, and these two bream must have broken the angler's record, right?"
Chen Feng continued to ask deliberately.
"We just barely broke the record."
Old Qian smiled modestly.
"Old Qian, since you can catch bream here, you continue fishing. I'll go and ask them to bring the food over."
Chen Feng said earnestly.
"No need to arrange it. Our investigation team will arrange our own meals. We came here to investigate Deputy Town Mayor Qin, and if she arranges our meals, wouldn't that give her an excuse?"
Old Qian retorted seriously.
"Old Qian, you really think things through. By the way, Old Qian, there's something I want to tell you..."
Chen Feng said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he observed Old Qian's expression.
If Old Qian's expression changed, he would stop and not continue.
"Go ahead."
Old Qian replied excitedly, his eyes fixed on the two bream.
"It's like this, I don't know anything about fishing, and I don't actually know where to catch bream. The reason I brought you to this reservoir was because Deputy Town Mayor Qin asked several experienced anglers to find it."
Chen Feng explained word by word.
"So that's how it is. It seems Deputy Town Mayor Qin has put in a lot of effort."
Old Qian said meaningfully.
"Old Qian, I've been working by Deputy Town Mayor Qin's side for a while, and I know her character quite well. How about I tell you some detailed information about her?"
Chen Feng asked cautiously.
"That's fine too! You are the leader's dedicated driver and a member of the masses. Listening to your account is also a good investigation."
Old Qian replied in a serious tone.
Chen Feng didn't hesitate and took out his phone, then recounted the information he had gathered overnight to Old Qian.
This information detailed how Qin Yan had carried out economic reforms with great determination and then boldly invested heavily in developing Mingshan Town's economy.
"From this information, it seems that Deputy Town Mayor Qin is indeed dedicated to Mingshan Town and is very capable of handling affairs."
Old Qian said calmly.
"Old Qian, you mean Deputy Town Mayor Qin doesn't have any major problems?"
Chen Feng asked cautiously.
"There wouldn't have been any major problems, but Jiangcheng has received a large number of举报信 (tip-off letters). If we don't deal with a person or two, it will be difficult to explain to Jiangcheng, so I can only hope Deputy Town Mayor Qin understands my difficulties."
Old Qian feigned a look of distress.
"Old Qian, what you said makes a lot of sense. If there are reports, it's hard to justify not dealing with a person or two. However, what I mean is, the entire matter doesn't solely involve Deputy Town Mayor Qin."
"What do you mean?"
Old Qian probed.
Deep down, he truly didn't want to implicate Qin Yan.
This woman was not only good at pleasing her superiors but also genuinely adept at developing the economy.
Although Mingshan Town's economy was not bad before, it was still far from being upgraded to a district.
However, after Qin Yan arrived, Mingshan Town's upgrade to a district was already on Jiangcheng's agenda.
Therefore, it was best not to involve Qin Yan if possible.
"Old Qian, what I mean is, when you go back, please arrange a Mingshan Town Economic Development Report Conference, and publicize the achievements that Deputy Town Mayor Qin has made during this period. This way, it can also be considered a response to the举报信."
"Driver Chen, I didn't expect you, a young man, to have such good ideas. A report conference on Mingshan Town's economic development achievements, this method is brilliant, solving the thorny issue implicitly. However, there's still a small problem, who will be the keynote speaker at this conference? We can't have Deputy Town Mayor Qin as the keynote speaker, can we?"
Old Qian tested Chen Feng.
