As soon as the Zhouxi Municipal Government meeting ended, it dropped another bomb on the onlookers.

The new mayor Feng Yuxing made a sudden adjustment, transferring the previously popular deputy mayor Yi Gurong and all the departments in charge to the executive deputy mayor Cheng Yi.

As soon as he did this, he became known as the young mayor of Zhouxi City to the ears of the onlookers, which further increased the popularity of Zhouxi City.

He went to the Finance Bureau yesterday, and the public is still discussing and speculating about his purpose of going there, and the heat is still there;

Now, with the adjustment of the division of responsibilities, fuel has been added to the fire, and the popularity of his name has once again risen to the point of boiling over.

Officials below the department level think that this young mayor is too "brutal" and will destroy your thinking without even saying a word.

Officials at the department level and above, especially the top two leaders of municipal departments, believe that the new mayor’s open challenge to the municipal party secretary and Deputy Provincial Governor and Police Chief Ling Butong, and the sudden adjustment of Yi Gurong’s responsibilities, is to send a signal to these two people that he dares to challenge.

The above two situations imply that Mayor Feng and Xing Mingli of Xin City suppressed Yi Guyong and directly slapped Huan Tongmin and Deputy Governor Ling Butong in the face.

If Feng Yuxing had broken up all the responsibilities and rearranged them, the suspicion would not be so great. However, he only adjusted the responsibilities of Cheng Yi and Yi Guyong, which shows that he was adjusting Yi Guyong's responsibilities.

Provincial-level cadres, however, don't pay much attention to it. Although the new mayor Feng Yuxing is young, as a department-level cadre, he will not be so willful.

A young mayor with a promising future is so proud of his offense against provincial officials that he must have a purpose.

As for Feng and Xing's purpose, they didn't understand it at once.

Office of the Provincial Party Secretary.

Lin Guotang, the secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee, had just been drinking tea with him here, and he also told Xiao Hairuo about the adjustment of Yi Guyong's responsibilities in Fengyuxing, as well as some rumors he heard outside.

Provincial Party Secretary Xiao Hairuo sat on the sofa. The heat emitted by the tea, under the influence of the cold air, formed a light white mist, which danced lightly in front of him.

His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

Then, his brows relaxed, and he gently exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth. The smoke and the hot tea blended together, creating a unique atmosphere.

The white mist in front of me was slightly darker than before, like a thin veil covering the quiet office.

"This kid is too impatient!" Xiao Hairuo murmured, "Ling Butong still has a certain influence in the provincial party committee and provincial government!"

As the provincial party secretary, Xiao Hairuo certainly understood that Ling Butong had been interfering in the affairs of Zhouxi City. Moreover, some people above him still recognized him. If he were to challenge the provincial party committee, it would be difficult to deal with it for the time being.

Xiao Hairuo had been the Party Secretary of Yuanxi for just over a year, less than two years. Like Xiao Hairuo, Governor Huang Huamin was an outsider, having been in office a little earlier, but also for only two years.

Ling Butong was considered an old Yuanxi man. He had been in Yuanxi since he was the county magistrate. He had a strong foundation and the support of certain forces above him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to hold such powerful positions as deputy governor and police chief, and also be a member of the provincial party committee standing committee.

"Yi Gurong was able to sideline two mayors only with Ling Butong's intervention. Investigate this guy! It's going to be difficult!"

Xiao Hairuo sighed.

Just when he was worried that something uncontrollable would happen next, Governor Huang Huamin arrived.

"Hey! Comrade Hua Min is here! Please take a seat!" Xiao Hairuo's expression changed to a smile. "Xiao Zhou, make the governor a cup of tea!"

"A guest just left!" Huang Huamin smiled as he sat on the sofa. "Look at all the cigarette butts in your ashtray. It looks like you're thinking about something!"

Governor Huang Huamin saw an extra cup and saw no one in it. Of course he knew that someone was drinking tea with Xiao Hairuo here just now.

"Oh! Comrade Guotang was just here drinking tea with me!" Xiao Hairuo said with a smile, "Have a cigarette!"

After both of them lit their cigarettes, Governor Huang Huamin blew out the smoke, smiled, and said, "You weren't having a headache just now because of that kid Feng Yuxing, were you?"

"A little bit. We all know that Yi Gurong, the deputy mayor of Zhouxi City, relies on Comrade Bu Tong behind the scenes. I'm worried that Comrade Bu Tong will be embarrassed if this guy does this!"

Xiao Hairuo did not hide his thoughts, "You came here for this matter, didn't you?"

"Comrade Hai Ruo, you're right. I'm here for this too!" Governor Huang Huamin said with a smile. "Just now, Comrade Bu Tong came to me and complained a lot. He was openly and covertly expressing his dissatisfaction with Feng Yuxing!"

Although Feng Yuxing's adjustment of Yi Gurong's responsibilities was a bit sudden, it was also a normal adjustment of responsibilities. It actually caused headaches for two provincial party committee leaders, which is the first case.

"It's normal for the mayor to adjust his scope of work. Comrade Bu's reaction is too excessive!" Xiao Hairuo said this very directly. "It's not like he won't adjust Yi Gurong's position or demote him. It's not that serious!"

"It seems that our comrade Bu wants to always treat Zhouxi City as his own private territory!" Huang Huamin said with a smile.

As the head of a province, he could say such words to his subordinates in the provincial government, which proved that he was very dissatisfied with Ling Butong.

You know, at the provincial level, they tend to speak to each other in a subtle and tactful manner, and only get to the point. They rarely speak so bluntly, revealing all their intentions and thoughts.

Because they are well aware that too much talk will lead to mistakes and that words can cause trouble, they prefer to express their opinions and attitudes in an obscure way, leaving people to guess the deeper meaning.

Doing so can maintain a certain depth while avoiding unnecessary trouble caused by inappropriate language.

But this time the situation was different, and if anyone else were here, it would have been surprising that they would have stated their position so bluntly.

"I think Feng Yuxing did this on purpose!" Xiao Hairuo said to Huang Huamin after a brief thought.

"Hmm! Comrade Hai Ruo, I have the same idea as you. This kid is really troublesome!

I guess he's taking revenge for the day he went to visit Comrade Bu Tong and got humiliated, so he's stirring up trouble to see how Comrade Bu Tong reacts!

Governor Huang Huamin is quite funny when he speaks.

"This is just on the surface. Don't hide it. If it makes Bu Tong feel embarrassed, it will be difficult for the two of us to handle it!" Xiao Hairuo said bluntly.

The turmoil between Feng and Xing would not have been a big deal no matter where it happened, but it became a big deal and it also concerned the political careers of these two provincial governors.
