Ever since Zhou Haiyang became the deputy county magistrate of Boxing County, his office has never been quiet for a day.

Everyone who came came to congratulate him, some of whom he had met during his previous three years of work in Yao Lin, and some who had just met him when he arrived in the county.

Some people simply came to the door naked, carrying cigarettes and alcohol; others brought an envelope and said they meant it.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Haiyang repeatedly refused at first, but those people insisted on sending it away.

Most of these people are leaders of various ministries, bureaus, and offices in the county, as well as principal and deputy positions in some towns and villages.

In the end, Zhou Haiyang had no choice but to accept all the tobacco and alcohol. If he refused, it would easily hurt the other party's face.

I borrowed flowers and presented them to the Buddha as a public smoking bar. Anyone who came to the office could smoke casually. When I was treating guests to dinner, I would bring the wine with me and everyone would drink together.

What troubles Zhou Haiyang the most is the people who deliver the envelopes.

One night when he was about to get off work, Zhou Haiyang received three envelopes at once.

He opened the envelopes and looked at them. They were full of money, ranging from a few hundred yuan to one or two thousand yuan.

Looking at the envelopes in his hands, Zhou Haiyang felt more and more frightened.

He couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. When he was the mayor, others would only give him a good cigarette and a bottle of wine, and that was it.

Whenever this happens, he will be happy to accept it. Even so, it is rare for someone to give him cigarettes and alcohol several times a year.

Now the situation has changed drastically! So many people have given him gifts, but he dare not accept them anymore. And facing these gift givers, he has a special sense of fear.

He knew in his heart that most of the people who gave him cigarettes and alcohol were people he was familiar with before, and they were indeed happy that he became the deputy county magistrate.

The congratulations were sincere, and the tobacco and wine reflected their simple emotions.

As for those who give money, most of them have very little contact with them, and there is no emotion at all.

Sending him money at this time is definitely not for the sake of friendship, but for his position or even his backstage connections. That is what you are asking for.

This kind of person regards Zhou Haiyang's position and background as renewable political resources that can be explored.

Of course Zhou Haiyang was totally unwilling to do this!

He definitely doesn't want to be a pawn in anyone's hands, let alone be played with by others.

During those days when Zhou Haiyang was in Yao Lin, like Liu Yan, he was mostly alone.

He used that time to carefully study some phenomena in the officialdom from the perspective of a person's abilities.

Some leaders are very capable, able to do things, and have a certain amount of power.

Others are attracted by the power in their hands and at the same time admire their talents.

As a result, some people gave them gifts and bribes, leading them step by step into the abyss of corruption from which they could not extricate themselves.

There are also some leaders who have power and positions but no personal ability.

Such people can neither serve the country nor serve individuals, and the people below look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

No matter how powerful you are, no one takes you seriously. Of course, no one will give gifts to such a person.

This is a cowardly leader and a cowardly official.

There used to be a deputy county magistrate in Boxing County who was just like this. He had no ideas at work and no political savvy. His subordinates never treated him as a human being or respected him.

Every time he meets someone drinking, others want to get him drunk and then take the words out of his mouth.

Make him laugh by telling him about the time he met a young lady when he was on a business trip.

The deputy county magistrate lives a very stressful life. The best cigarettes he smokes are three to five yuan a pack, and most of the time he smokes cigarettes he rolls himself.

The best wine I drink at home costs more than ten yuan a bottle, and most of the time I drink sweet potato roast.

It is said that this gentleman is very honest, but it is not because he wants to be honest, nor does he have high ideological and political awareness, but because he is helplessly poor.

It’s not like no one has given him gifts in this life.

If someone gave him a piece of Chinese cigarettes, he would be so happy that he could not sleep for days and nights.

If you give your son a hundred yuan as a gift during the Chinese New Year, he will be so happy that he can't even close his mouth.

Zhou Haiyang believes that if someone gives you a gift because of power, it can at least prove the value of power.

Giving gifts because I admire you shows the value of your personality.

Treating you as a friend and giving gifts can show the value of friendship.

In this society, if no one gives you anything, it means that you have no value in the hearts of others, and you may even become a waste.

Therefore, when Zhou Haiyang saw those envelopes, although he was very frightened, he could appreciate the strangeness of the operation of power.

As for what to do with the money? Zhou Haiyang hesitated a lot.

Facing the envelopes, he thought for a long time and finally decided to accept them temporarily.

As soon as the gift-giver left, Zhou Haiyang wrote the gift-giver's name on the envelope, then temporarily put it in a drawer and locked it tightly.

Unexpectedly, more and more people were sending envelopes. He had to ask the office to buy a safe and put these envelopes in the safe.

Zhou Haiyang wanted to see how much money he could receive from the position of deputy county magistrate? How much is a deputy county magistrate worth?

.......

As his power became greater and his position became higher, Zhou Haiyang's life and work patterns also changed.

Although he was very busy when he was in the town government, he was able to freely control and arrange his time.

Moreover, I was so busy with the ideas that I had a lot of fun.

It was different when he arrived in the county. People were looking for him all the time.

He is often surrounded and entangled by inexplicable things, as if there is always an invisible rope pulling him.

A lot of time is spent on retreat, and I feel that I am too busy and have no clue, or even that it is meaningless.

Zhou Haiyang was very troubled by this. He hoped to get out of it as soon as possible and do more pragmatic things.

He couldn't help but think of the daylily project he personally worked on when he was the mayor of Yaolin Town.

At that time, not long after the first batch of products of this project came out, Zhou Haiyang plunged into marketing work.

He hopes to give this township enterprise in Yaolin Town a lift. He feels that only in this way can he do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Unlike other leaders, Zhou Haiyang sketched out a grand blueprint before he even scratched the surface of his horoscope. He made a lot of noise at the meeting, and then he became disheartened, and then he was completely disappointed.

Zhou Haiyang likes to set two goals for himself: the minimum goal and the striving goal, and then move forward step by step.

For the daylily project, we originally just wanted to occupy a place in the local market in Boxing, so as to drive the economy of other towns and villages.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the product came out, it was quickly rolled out in local stores in Boxing County, and the response was very good after it was put on the shelves.

He had made big plans in his mind, preparing to introduce daylily products to Huaining, Jiangning, and even larger markets.

But at this time, he was transferred to Boxing County as deputy county magistrate, which delayed his previous plan.

At this moment, Zhou Haiyang couldn't help but think of this project again! He decided to move forward according to the previous plan.

So, he directly thought of China's largest market: Yanjing.

Thinking of this, he called Liu Yan and told him his thoughts. He got Liu Yan's support and contacted Qin Lu to help him.

Just like that, three days later, Zhou Haiyang took the factory director and sales section chief of the township enterprise, checked two tons of daylilies with him, and went directly north to Yanjing.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Zhou Haiyang arrived in Yanjing, and Qin Lu drove her own car to the station to pick them up.

Qin Lu told him: "Don't worry! Liu Yan told me how to cooperate with you on the phone!

I don't understand sales, but according to Liu Yan's instructions, I made an appointment with a group of friends who are in the supermarket business, and they will help you open up sales in Yanjing."

Because Zhou Haiyang consigned two tons of daylilies, Qin Lu arranged for someone to pick up the goods in the freight room of the railway station.

Qin Lu arranged in advance for Zhou Haiyang and his party to stay at a hotel and booked a banquet at a nearby restaurant.

When she led Zhou Haiyang and his party into the restaurant, they saw Qin Lu's six or seven friends already waiting for them in the restaurant.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, Qin Lu took Zhou Haiyang's hand and said to a group of friends: "This is the educated youth guy who jumped in line with my brother. His name is Zhou Haiyang. He graduated from Qinhua University and is now a Ph.D. student in Huaining City, Jiangning Province.

Deputy County Magistrate of Xing County."

A few words made Zhou Haiyang feel a little embarrassed.

Everyone stood up to toast Zhou Haiyang, and he was suddenly surrounded by an unprecedented enthusiasm.

Zhou Haiyang understood Qin Lu's intentions in her heart. People in Yanjing talked about face, and she wanted to give Zhou Haiyang face.
