Chapter 2973 Learning to Find Your Place

Jiang Longjun smiled but didn't say anything.

"Secretary Jiang, did I say something wrong?" Ma Shanming asked after seeing Jiang Longjun's smile.

"Do you think Qin Feng is trying to trade this association to me?"

"Isn't that right?"

"You know you can't agree to this, how could I not know? Is Qin Feng really that naive?" Jiang Longjun rolled his eyes at Ma Shanming.

“But… I agreed to it.” Jiang Longjun made a complete 180-degree turn.

"Huh?" Ma Shanming didn't react immediately and asked, "Say yes to him?"

"Yes, say yes."

“No… Secretary… I… didn’t I say I disagreed? Why did you agree to him again?” Ma Shanming replied.

"You think they'll stop doing it just because you don't agree? You need to understand, this is the work of the municipal government, it's their right. They're asking us out of respect and to give us face. Do you think they'll stop doing it just because you don't agree? Qin Feng investigated the Yang family's underground casino without hesitation. Do you think he wouldn't dare to do this? Do you think he's afraid of me?"

“The municipal party committee can indeed forcefully order the suspension of all construction projects of Huayang Group for inspection, and can also demand the continued detention of the person in charge of Huayang Group. However, this requires going through a process and finally forming a document resolution of the municipal party committee to make Qin Feng comply. Not to mention how complicated the process is and how much resistance we will encounter from Qin Feng, even if we succeed, it is not worth it for us. It is not worth paying so much for such a small matter.”

“The most crucial point is that doing this is meaningless and will not yield any results. Why bother doing something so pointless?” Jiang Longjun asked.

"How could there be no results? Secretary, as long as we continue to focus on the fire at the sports center and keep pressing Huayang Group, we can keep Qin Feng pinned down." Ma Shanming was anxious.

"Bite Qin Feng to death? You've been with me for so many years, and you still lack the ability to see through the surface of events to the essence. If you had told me this yesterday, I would have praised you, but if you still say this today, I can only say you're an idiot."

"Things have developed to this point, anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see what's going on, yet you're still dreaming." Jiang Longjun cursed, already seething with anger, and Ma Shanming just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Are you talking about the police raid on the Yang family's underground casino last night?" Ma Shanming belatedly realized that he wasn't unaware of what had happened, but he hadn't connected the two events at the time.

"Think carefully about why Qin Feng suddenly went crazy and recklessly investigated the Yang family's underground casino. And why did he do it so suddenly, right after the fire at the sports center construction site?" Jiang Longjun said irritably.

“I know that. Qin Feng is retaliating against the Yang family for setting fire to the sports center construction site. I think it’s a good thing. When dogs fight, they get hurt. The fiercer they fight, the better for us. What’s this called? When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.” Ma Shanming chuckled as he smoked.

"Calling you an idiot is absolutely right. Qin Feng is targeting the Yang family, and he's also targeting me. But Qin Feng isn't here to take revenge on the Yang family; he wants to tear down the sky in Shazhou and tear down the sky in Gansu and Liangzhou provinces."

"The sky has been pierced! He'll die, the Yang family will die, and what about you and me?" Jiang Longjun continued cursing.

"Ah... this... a casino shouldn't be that serious, right? I've asked around. Huang San is dead, Yang Zhihao is in hiding, and even the Lixin Hotel wasn't affected. They only shut down the Yang family's underground casino. The matter didn't affect the Yang family at all, so I don't think it's that serious..." Ma Shanming retorted.

"You still don't believe me when I call you an idiot? Did Qin Feng really go after a casino? Use your pig brain to think about it. Why was the Lixin Hotel not implicated even though the casino was shut down? Why wasn't the Yang family affected? Even the Yang family's casino could be investigated. Did he intend to arrest Yang Zhihao from the beginning? How could Yang Zhihao escape?"

"Qin Feng is prepared to take the Yang family's life. Taking the Yang family's life is taking the life of Shazhou. His investigation of the casino is just putting a knife to the Yang family's throat. If the Yang family and I don't stop on the sports center fire and the Huayang Group matter, he won't stop on the Yang family's casino matter either."

"The reason Yang Zhihao went into hiding and the Lixin Hotel remained unaffected is because the Yang family admitted defeat, and I agreed. Otherwise... Shazhou would be in complete chaos by now." Jiang Longjun said, his teeth clenched tightly, showing how much he hated Qin Feng.

"This...this..." Ma Shanming was stunned for a long time, he didn't expect there to be such a hidden story in this matter.

"Let's put an end to the fire incident here. Let's make a big deal out of it and let it go. Don't touch Huayang Group again in the future," Jiang Longjun said, very unwillingly.

"Just... just let it go like that?" Ma Shanming was even more unwilling than Jiang Longjun.

"If you encounter a crazy person who doesn't value their life, are you going to fight them head-on? If he doesn't value his life, then I don't either?" Jiang Longjun became more and more angry as he spoke.

"But now the province is investigating the fire at the sports center, it's not up to us to decide not to."

"You're really incredibly stupid. Do you think I made this decision? Do you think I would dare to make it? You idiot..." Jiang Longjun cursed through gritted teeth.

“I’ve swallowed my anger and suffered the loss, but this matter can’t just be left like this. Do you think you can just dismiss me with a promotion meeting? Rules need to be set for him, and he needs to learn to recognize his place. Have you seen the organizational and personnel adjustment plan this time?” Jiang Longjun said slowly.

"Not yet, the organization department probably hasn't finished yet."

"Go and speak to the people in the Organization Department privately. You should know what to do." Jiang Longjun glanced at Ma Shanming.

Ma Shanming may lack comprehension in other matters, but he is extremely perceptive when it comes to scheming and plotting. He understood Jiang Longjun's meaning with just one look. Jiang Longjun was telling him to go and speak to the Organization Department. The recent personnel adjustments should be more intense for Qin Feng, to make him suffer.

Jiang Longjun always had Ma Shanming take him to do these kinds of things that were better left unsaid, as this minimized the risk. Ma Shanming was also the most adept at this kind of thing, and he was good at flattering people, so Jiang Longjun always trusted Ma Shanming completely. As for his work ability, it was never a consideration for Jiang Longjun.

"In addition, the Public Security Bureau also needs to be properly reorganized. If they continue to act recklessly like this, they will eventually cause serious problems because they don't know their own limitations," Jiang Longjun added.

“Okay, I’ll arrange these things.” Ma Shanming nodded, once again acknowledging Jiang Longjun’s meaning.

After doing all this, Jiang Longjun felt much better. However, he also knew that whether it was in terms of organizational personnel appointments or in causing trouble for the Public Security Bureau, it was just to annoy Qin Feng. At most, it would make him feel better, but it wouldn't actually cause Qin Feng much harm.

It was Jiang Longjun who, together with the Yang family, took the initiative to attack Qin Feng. Qin Feng was forced to retaliate. However, Jiang Longjun now claims that Qin Feng attacked him first, which is somewhat unreasonable.
