After Zhou Haiyang thought for a moment, he said: "I will go back and study this matter.

Within a week, I took the leaders of the county government to the port authority and apologized where necessary."

Zhou Haiyang continued: "There is much to be done in the port logistics economy of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

If Renyuan County wants to prosper the county with its harbor, it must join hands with the Port Authority to seek development.

I plan to convene an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee in the near future to specifically study issues related to port relations, and I will invite you and leaders of relevant units to attend the meeting."

At noon, Li Qi invited Zhou Haiyang and Qiu Jianfeng to eat Hexian hot pot at a nearby hot pot city, and the three of them talked while eating.

Zhou Haiyang said with a smile: "This is the first time I have accepted a banquet from a middle-level cadre since arriving in Renyuan County.

What I admire most are cadres who have the spirit of reform and innovation and work hard to govern.

If such a cadre invites me to dinner, I will definitely come.

I just want to give a platform to such cadres, support them, and protect them.

Whoever does a good job is my friend, Zhou Haiyang."

Li Qi was very moved after hearing this, and took the initiative to talk to Zhou Haiyang about some ideas for improving relations with the Port Authority.

…

Three days later, the Renyuan County Standing Committee held a symposium to study how to establish a friendly cooperative relationship with the Municipal Port Authority.

At the meeting, Zhou Haiyang put forward the idea of ​​"revitalizing the county with ports and doing a great job in the port economy."

He also reviewed the mistakes made in the relationship with the Port Authority in his previous work.

The plan to fully support the development of the port was proposed, which was unanimously recognized by the team members.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Haiyang and Yao Peidong made a special trip to the Municipal Port Authority to apologize.

We take this as an opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Port Authority.

Several main leaders of the Municipal Port Authority had heard of Zhou Haiyang's name when he was the deputy county magistrate of Boxing County.

They were greatly moved and admired Zhou Haiyang and Yao Peidong's move and pattern.

That evening, the Port Authority hosted a banquet for the leaders of Renyuan County.

Both parties drank happily and expressed their support and cooperation in future work and joint development.

…

After the work in Renyuan County opened up, Zhou Haiyang was very busy all day long.

When I first took office, I sometimes felt lonely every night.

Now I know more people and socialize with them more and more.

The interlacing of cups and dendrobium at banquets, welcoming and sending guests, is part of the official culture, and has been the case for thousands of years.

Zhou Haiyang had to set a rule for himself: he would not drink at noon, but he could have a few drinks at night.

Zhou Haiyang was good at drinking and gradually became famous in Renyuan County.

First, the team members liked it, and later some middle-level leaders also joined in the banquet.

When receiving banquets from his superiors, Zhou Haiyang would not refuse anyone who had done a good job and had outstanding achievements.

If the work is not done well, you will be rejected.

For a time, the ministries, commissions, offices, bureaus and township leaders of Renyuan County had to work hard in order to invite Zhou Haiyang to drink.

Zhou Haiyang also used these opportunities intentionally or unintentionally to build relationships with middle-level cadres, thereby gradually expanding and consolidating his own camp.

One Sunday morning, Zhou Haiyang and Yao Peidong each came to their offices and began preparations to summarize the outlines of the speeches of the county party committee and county government at the meeting.

Both of them have a common habit of never letting their secretary write speeches for them.

This is also the trend of many young officials who graduated from college and entered officialdom in the 1980s.

Because these young officials have relatively high cultural knowledge and academic qualifications, are quick to accept new things, and have a relatively open style, they usually do not rely too much on secretaries and drivers.

Zhou Haiyang, in particular, was particularly disgusted with the official style of writing that boasted power and empty words, and made many criticisms.

He wanted to put forward several pragmatic tasks at the summary meeting and put forward new requirements for future work.

Zhou Haiyang was writing the outline of his speech when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He thought: Why is there still someone looking for him in the office on this Sunday?

He raised his head and said: "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, Zhou Haiyang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he saw Lin Qiunan, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee, standing at the door.

This is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, who is known as the number one beauty in the Renyuan County Party Committee compound.

She was wearing a white suit and skirt, solemn and elegant. At this moment, she looked a little nervous when she looked at Zhou Haiyang.

"Come in!" Zhou Haiyang put down his work and waved to Lin Qiunan.

Lin Qiunan said: "Secretary Zhou, I'm really sorry to disturb you on Sunday."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Haiyang asked with a smile.

"Gao Zhansheng, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, came here in the morning and stayed at the Lakeside Hotel.

This time he wanted to learn about the construction situation of Renyuan County.

Next Saturday, the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee will hold a provincial county construction work conference in Renyuan County."

Zhou Haiyang smiled and said: "This is a good thing! Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Lin Qiunan said: "Our county party committee Propaganda Department has arranged and prepared the meeting.

Today at noon, I would like to ask you to come forward and accompany Minister Gao. Minister Gao said that he knows you..."

Zhou Haiyang was stunned when he heard this and said, "Accompanying Minister Gao? He said he knew me?"

Lin Qiunan nodded.

Since I started working at the Renyuan County Party Committee, many department directors and division chiefs from the province have said that they know me in order to establish a relationship with me.

Some people have never heard of it themselves.

Zhou Haiyang knew in his heart that the reason why these people wanted to get close to him was not because of drinking, but because of his father, Zhou Mingshan...

Then, he asked: "Who is participating?"

Lin Qiunan continued: "Minister Gao, Director Wang from the Civilization Office, you and me in Renyuan County, and Director Qiu Jianfeng from the office."

"Aren't the other leaders free to go?" Zhou Haiyang asked.

"Secretary Yang Siyuan, who is in charge of propaganda work, is not at home to study at the party school, and Secretary Gao went back to his hometown on Sunday."

"Where is your Minister Li Ming?" Zhou Haiyang asked again.

"I couldn't find Minister Li, so I called him at home and said he was not at home. So I had no choice but to come to your place."

Zhou Haiyang said: "For this kind of matter, you, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department, will be fine. Whether I go or not will not make any difference."

Lin Qiunan's face was full of embarrassment and said: "The provincial leaders came, but none of our county leaders showed up, as if we didn't pay attention.

My level is too low and I don’t deserve it.”

Zhou Haiyang sighed: "Now as long as a leader comes from above, he has to come out to receive him regardless of whether the work requires it or not.

Welcoming people and sending them off takes up a lot of time every day, and I don’t have to do anything else. Now I feel like I don’t have enough time every day..."

Zhou Haiyang looked at Lin Qiunan's troubled look, thought for a moment and then said: "Since you came to the door in person, I will do you a favor!"

Lin Qiunan smiled brightly when she heard what Zhou Haiyang said.

Seeing this, Zhou Haiyang quickly said: "Don't get me wrong! I just said I would do you a favor, but it does not mean that I will participate.

I'll ask County Magistrate Yao for you, just ask him to come forward for this kind of thing."
