Chapter 3006 New Year's Duty

Qin Feng left Jiang Longjun's house.

He achieved his goal in meeting Jiang Longjun. With his visit and the words he spoke today, Jiang Longjun, who may have had some ulterior motives towards the Yang family before, would now absolutely not dare to have any contact with the Yang family in the slightest.

Qin Feng's statement that he and Pei Qinglin had met in Beijing months ago was enough to deter Jiang Longjun from crossing the line.

However, Qin Feng was also somewhat disappointed. Although Jiang Longjun assured him that he would never have any contact with the Yang family, he did not support Qin Feng in taking action against the Yang family.

In fact, this was within Qin Feng's expectations. From Jiang Longjun's perspective, it was indeed difficult for him to have the same courage as Qin Feng to reopen the wounds of Shazhou. Just as Jiang Longjun said, if this wound were to be reopened, Qin Feng would be a hero, while he would be a sinner.

Moreover, from a political perspective, the most favorable situation for Jianglong Army right now is to let Qin Feng and the Yang family fight and wear each other down slowly, ideally resulting in mutual destruction. Therefore, Jianglong Army will not choose to support Qin Feng in taking action against the Yang family under any circumstances.

Moreover, Qin Feng understood that, just as he needed clear instructions from Zhao Hongjian and others in the province to decide when to take action against the Yang family, Jiang Longjun's attitude towards the Yang family and Qin Feng also depended on the province's attitude. Before the person behind Jiang Longjun made a statement, Jiang Longjun would certainly not dare to act rashly.

The situation in Shazhou is interconnected and affects the whole situation. Whether it is Qin Feng or Jiang Longjun, they are just pawns and have no autonomy.

In any case, Qin Feng has already achieved his goal of meeting Jiang Longjun today. What he needs now is to stabilize Jiang Longjun and cut off the Yang family's idea of ​​winning over Jiang Longjun. For Qin Feng, this is a victory.

Qin Feng's main reason for meeting Jiang Longjun today was because he discovered the special relationship between Ma Shanming and the Yang family. That's why he took the initiative to meet Jiang Longjun to prevent any unexpected incidents.

……

Three days before the Lunar New Year, Qin Feng inspected the Shazhou Railway Station, Airport, and Expressway entrances to check on the various support measures for the Spring Festival travel rush.

Two days before the Lunar New Year, Qin Feng went to the Public Security Bureau to inspect its work and check on the various stability maintenance measures to be taken during the "two festivals".

On the day before the Lunar New Year, Qin Feng visited various wholesale and retail markets for vegetables and meat in Shazhou City, and also went deep into several vegetable markets and communities to conduct on-site inspections and research on the supply of essential goods such as vegetables and meat during the Spring Festival.

On the day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Feng was on duty at the municipal government. Early in the morning, he led Chen Guohua and others to visit sanitation workers, traffic police and other staff who were still working on the front line during the New Year.

……

While every household was brightly lit and enjoying a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, Qin Feng remained seated in his car. He was about to conduct a surprise inspection of the duty rosters of leading cadres in two counties during the Spring Festival. Qin Feng attached great importance to this because the severe cold wave that had occurred in Yi'an County had resulted in such a serious problem because local leaders had not strictly adhered to the regulations on duty rosters. Consequently, no one took the issue seriously, and no unified deployment was made in a timely manner.

Qin Feng deliberately waited until evening, when everyone was having their New Year's Eve dinner, before leading his team to conduct surprise inspections of the Spring Festival duty arrangements in several counties.

Looking at the myriad lights of homes outside, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh. Since embarking on his official career, he seemed to have never been able to spend a proper New Year with his family at home. Either he couldn't go back, or even if he did, it was always in a rush.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng took out his phone from the back seat of the car and sent a video to Zhou Qian.

Normally, Qin Feng never calls or video chats with Zhou Qian when there are outsiders around, but today is an exception. On holidays, people miss their loved ones even more, and at this moment he really misses Zhou Qian and his daughter.

Qin Feng had just sent the message when the video call was connected, and Zhou Qian on the other end of the phone was as beautiful and charming as ever.

"Have you had your New Year's Eve dinner?" Qin Feng asked.

"We're about to eat! Qiqi, come here and tell your dad what we're having for dinner tonight!" Zhou Qian called out. Soon after, Qin Feng's daughter, Qin Zhouqi, happily ran over and took the phone from Zhou Qian's hand.

"Dad, what are you doing? Why aren't you coming home for Chinese New Year? All the other dads are coming home for Chinese New Year."

"I'm sorry, Dad has to work. I'll be home tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright then, let me show you what we're having for dinner tonight." Qin Zhouqi held up her phone and pointed it at the dining table.

Xie Fengmin, wearing an apron, brought the dishes to the table. The dishes on the table were not very plentiful, consisting of only four dishes and a soup.

Qin Feng frowned. How could the New Year's Eve dinner be so meager?

"What's going on? Why is there only this much food?"

"Mom said we'll just eat something casual tonight, and we'll have our New Year's Eve dinner when you come back tomorrow night. Mom said that a New Year's Eve dinner is only real when the whole family is together, so what we're having tonight isn't a New Year's Eve dinner," Qin Zhouqi said like an adult.

Qin Feng almost burst into tears upon hearing his daughter's words.

"Why is Grandma cooking? Where is the housekeeper?"

"Mom sent them home for the Chinese New Year. These past few days, Mom and Grandma have been cooking for themselves..."

Qin Feng chatted slowly with his daughter on his phone. Although he was away from home for long periods of time, he had always had a good relationship with his daughter because he would video chat with her every day when he had time. Since he couldn't care for his daughter in person, he relied on technology to shorten the distance.

The person who truly helped her maintain a close relationship with her daughter was Zhou Qian.

What kind of person a father is in the eyes of his children, and how good the relationship between the children and their father is, mainly depends on how the mother usually talks about her father in front of the children.

Because Zhou Qian tells her daughter about Qin Feng's good qualities every day, and that although Qin Feng is away working and can't be with her, he always loves and thinks about her, her daughter genuinely believes that Qin Feng loves her, which leads to their close relationship.

In this regard, Qin Feng has always been very grateful to Zhou Qian, and also felt very guilty towards her.

As the convoy approached its destination, Qin Feng hung up the video call with his daughter, composed himself, and then got out of the car with a serious expression to conduct a surprise inspection of the Pingnan County Party Committee's duty room.

While others enjoyed family reunions at home, Qin Feng spent his time busy with inspections.

It wasn't until after 9 p.m. that Qin Feng finished all the inspection work and took a car back to the city.

Of course, Qin Feng was going home, not back to the municipal government. Although he was on duty, he didn't need to be there in person at this hour. There was a duty room, and he only needed to make sure that he could be contacted immediately if anything happened, and he could get there as soon as possible.
