Chapter 172 Before leaving
Zhou Haiyang is leaving Boxing County, and everyone becomes more friendly in front of him than before.
These days, each department takes turns to treat guests, having lunch and dinner, and having dinner at the east and west.
It is human nature for people to leave, and Zhou Haiyang has no reason to refuse.
Interestingly, the gift-givers for whom he refunded money also came to invite him, which made it even harder for him to refuse.
People's hearts are made of flesh. If you refund someone's money, you will make them feel uncomfortable for several days.
Inviting you to a meal now can at least make up for the lack of affection. If you refuse, it will be too unkind.
Didn’t they just want to build a good relationship with you when they gave you gifts? Didn’t they just want to use the connections behind you in the future?
But having said that, some people did want to ask you to do things for them in the past.
But some people do not expect you to do things for them, and they have never asked you to do anything for them. They just use money to consolidate and develop this relationship and establish a bond.
Now that you no longer work here, at least you are no longer directly involved in personnel matters.
It is normal for colleagues who have worked together for so many years to eat and drink together before parting.
Even if I ask you to do something in the future, I believe that I will still be willing to help as long as it does not violate the principles.
Besides, no matter where I go, let alone Renyuan County, even if I go to the city or the province one day, Boxing County is still the first place where I graduate from college and start working.
I have worked here for six years and I have feelings for it.
As long as you are an official in a certain country, you will always need to rely on the leaders here. When the time comes, you will need their active cooperation.
Otherwise, when you come back here one day, no one will pay attention to you when they see you. Wouldn’t that feel very miserable?
Therefore, he would go to anyone who invited him to dinner and drinks.
Not only did he go, he also reflected on himself at the table: "If I have been disrespectful to you in the past, please forgive me!"
Saying such words not only comforts yourself, but also comforts others.
However, people in Boxing County feel from the bottom of their hearts that Zhou Haiyang is indeed a rare and good person.
He is a person who works wholeheartedly for the common people. He is a truly talented and hard-working person, and he does not have the airs of a high-ranking cadre's son.
At the farewell party held for him by the county committee and government, all the village cadres who used to work in Yaolin Town also came.
What everyone didn't expect was that while they were drinking and drinking, a burly man suddenly appeared. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Wu Wei is here!"
The voice and body come in at the same time.
Because he reported his home address in advance, everyone knew that he was coming, a person who is not afraid of the sky or the earth.
Everyone present was suddenly startled and very surprised, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Xiao Guorui looked at Zhou Haiyang, seeming to remind him to be more careful.
Zhou Haiyang immediately realized that Wu Wei was here to settle a score with him.
At this time, some people immediately stood in front of Zhou Haiyang, built a wall around the city, and yelled at Wu Wei: "Wu Wei, what do you want to do?"
Zhou Haiyang waved to everyone, pushed aside the crowd, walked up to Wu Wei, smiled and said to him: "Wu Wei, are you looking for me?"
Wu Wei is tall and tall, with a ferocious appearance. He is born with a domineering temperament and is full of power.
He looked arrogant and arrogant. He didn't even look at the other leaders. He just stared straight into Zhou Haiyang's eyes and said through gritted teeth, "I'm here to find you."
Zhou Haiyang waved to the waiter and said: "We have a guest, please add another chair!"
When Wu Wei saw this, he immediately touched his tangled beard, revealing a few blackened front teeth. He looked at the group of people around Zhou Haiyang and smiled kindly at them: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not
Come fight for your life."
Then, he turned his face and looked at Zhou Haiyang: "County Magistrate Zhou, I heard that you are leaving, so I came here specifically to see you off today. I must toast you with a glass of wine today."
At this moment, everyone in the room was stunned, and then the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Zhou Haiyang smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you in advance."
The waiter added a chair and a set of tableware. Wu Wei glanced at them and did not sit down.
I saw him take out a bottle of Maotai from his pocket, and then took out two small wine glasses.
Immediately, he opened the wine bottle skillfully, poured two full glasses of wine, handed a glass to Zhou Haiyang, and said: "County Chief Zhou, the whole Boxing County knows that I, Wu Wei, am a wicked person.
If you dare to hit someone or curse someone, in those days, I really want to kill you.
But I thought carefully about it for a few days in the detention center. You have no grudge against me. You are doing this for everyone's good and for our happiness!
My ancestors have been in the county for generations, and I have seen everything.
No matter how evil I am, no matter how bad I am, no matter how selfish I am, one thing about me will not change.
That is why I love our Boxing County and hope that our county will get better and better.
You can take the risk to clean up illegal buildings and solve the problems left over more than ten years. I admire your courage and wisdom from the bottom of my heart.
Please believe in one thing: there are times when evil people are kind, there are times when they are soft-hearted, there are times when they obey reason, people, and the law, and there are times when they reform and do good."
At this point, Wu Wei's eyes turned red. He raised the cup respectfully and continued: "So, I want to toast you with my own wine! You must drink it! County Magistrate Zhou, you drink first.
"
After listening to Wu Wei's words, Zhou Haiyang couldn't help but feel a little moved and didn't know how to answer.
This glass of wine is of great significance, surpassing many wines I have drunk before, and its weight is of great importance.
Wu Wei's image in his mind has always been bad and ugly.
But now I see a heart that is pure and transparent after being turbid, and I see an unquestionable sincerity and simplicity.
Zhou Haiyang raised his glass and said slowly: "Wu Wei, thank you for your understanding."
Then I took a sip and almost choked in my throat because I was so excited.
Wu Wei poured another cup for Zhou Haiyang, handed it over respectfully, and said: "County Magistrate Zhou, I hope that next time you come to Boxing, you will see a completely different Wu Wei from the past. Come, here."
Let’s drink from the same cup and touch it!”
After drinking with Zhou Haiyang, Wu Wei did not neglect the other leaders, starting with Xiao Guorui, and greeted them one by one.
After finishing a bottle of Moutai, Wu Wei finally came to Zhou Haiyang and shook hands with Zhou Haiyang to say goodbye.
Then, he waved to everyone in a cool gesture, turned around and went out coolly.
Watching Wu Wei walk out of the banquet hall, it was Xiao Guorui's turn to use the topic.
As secretary of the county party committee, Wu Wei's move deeply touched him.
Xiao Guorui was silent for a long time, and said to everyone with sincerity: "Dear leaders, Wu Wei is here to toast Zhou Haiyang tonight, but in fact he is here to teach us!
What does his transformation mean?
He himself has said that there are times when evil people are kind, there are times when they are soft-hearted, and there are times when they are persuasive.
It also illustrates an indisputable fact that as long as our government truly thinks about the people, if it serves the interests of the vast majority of people, even if it harms the interests of a very small number of people, these people will one day be able to understand."
Hong Jian quickly agreed: "Secretary Xiao is right. This cleanup of illegal buildings has provided us with valuable experience in dealing with some long-standing and difficult problems in the future.
We need to further sum up experience and promote better development of work."
Hong Jian has been very excited and happy these past few days.
Zhou Haiyang has been transferred, which is good news for him.
Once Zhou Haiyang leaves, there will no longer be any issue of power and pressure.
Hong Jian suddenly felt no pressure in his heart, and no longer had any sense of depression and inferiority.
The authority of the county magistrate will no longer be challenged and threatened by Zhou Haiyang, nor will his own incompetence be shown in comparison.
He immediately felt much more relaxed mentally and his blood pressure also dropped.
In this sense, he sincerely congratulated Zhou Haiyang on his promotion.
Hong Jian took up Xiao Guorui's previous words and said: "County Magistrate Zhou is not only a hero of Boxing County, but also a model for us to learn from.
Over the years, his body has never been fat and he has maintained a very good figure. However, his mind has become more and more broad.
I believe that as his power becomes stronger and his status becomes higher, his prestige and reputation in the hearts of the people will also become higher and higher."
Zhou Haiyang could tell that what Hong Jian said was neither true nor flattery, but words that were neither yin nor yang. It sounded strange and made people feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, a deputy secretary walked up to Hong Jian, patted Hong Jian on the shoulder and said: "County Magistrate Hong, I feel like there is something in your words. Have you drunk too much?"
Zhou Haiyang laughed, and then said: "What Magistrate Hong said is a reward. Since it's a reward, I have to drink three drinks as a penalty."
When Hong Jian heard this, he did not refuse.
So, both of them raised their glasses with a smile on their face, and each drank it down in one gulp.
People who didn't understand looked at that look and thought the two were good friends for many years.
