Binjiang Police Affairs

"What director? That branch bureau is just a bigger police station."

"Salted Fish, this isn't as simple as you think."

"Sister Zhu, I don't quite understand..."

"You'll understand soon enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Some things are better explained by others."

Sister Zhu turned her head to glance at Director He and Political Commissioner Jiang, then added, "I know you're reluctant to leave the Changhang Bureau, but the issue now is, if we sell the new ship under construction to Linghai, and if you're willing to transfer back to the Linghai Police Bureau, the Changhang Bureau could recover millions in funds for infrastructural development and even improve the welfare benefits for all our police officers a bit."

Han Yu asked with a wry smile, "If I don't go, am I the criminal of the whole bureau?"

Sister Zhu chuckled and said, "Director He, Political Commissioner Jiang, Director Jiang, and Director Li are all very concerned about you. Everyone treats you like the younger generation they've watched grow up. The decision to build a new ship was made with work considerations in mind, but now circumstances have changed, and not building it won't affect work, so why not reallocate assets and work on infrastructural development?"

The young man isn't an outsider; there's no need to beat around the bush.

Director Peng also said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Salted Fish, I'm not trying to scare you, but if you don't transfer back to your old unit, even your sister would scold you for being heartless."

Director He quickly said, "It's not that exaggerated, Salted Fish. Sister Zhu and Director Zhou are just joking with you."

Political Commissioner Wang pulled out his phone and seized the moment, "Salted Fish, I called Director Yu and Director Zhang yesterday, they both think you should transfer back."

One can't be too selfish.

Linghai is planning to build a deepwater port, to construct vessels that serve as both tugs and salvage ships, presenting the Changhang Bureau with a real opportunity to 'activate' its assets.

In fact, it's not just the Changhang Bureau that will benefit, but also the Port Supervision Bureau.

Because where Linghai Port will be, there's now just a reed-covered river bank. Once the work starts, they'll have to dredge the waterway, excavate mud to build deepwater berths, and there's nothing on the riverbanks or shores. The Linghai side plans to also buy the Dunship, to serve as the Command Center for the port project with even the 'old relic' being towed over for use as a Floating Pier.

Anyway, the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government places great importance on the port project, valuing efficiency highly, and could be said to be racing against time in construction.

If they buy the new ship being built by the Changhang Bureau, there would be no need to organize for design and construction bidding. Buying the Dunship and the old relics for immediate deployment would greatly save construction time.

As for 001, it could easily moor at the Bailong Port Passenger Pier since there are few ferry services at Bailong Port anyway.

Han Yu hadn't expected to be 'sold' a second time, feeling it was absurd, when suddenly his phone rang.

Director He reminded him, "Answer the phone first."

"Oh."

Han Yu, not bothering to check the caller ID, hit the answer button and lifted the phone to his ear, "Hello, may I ask who's calling?"

"I'm Xiao Liu from the office of the Linghai Political Consultative Conference. Is this Mr. Han?"

"It is I, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Han, our Political Consultative Conference has a small symposium, and Chairman Chen will attend in person. It's scheduled for this afternoon at two. I wonder if you can make it."

Mr. Han was momentarily taken aback when they called him 'Mr. Han,' almost forgetting he himself was a member of the Linghai Political Consultative Conference.

He was quite a negligent member, having never attended any of the conference's meetings or events, not even knowing where the office of the Political Consultative Conference was.

One can't always be absent from meetings and fail to submit proposals.

Seeing Sister Zhu smiling and gesturing for him to attend, Han Yu quickly said, "I'm available."

"That's great. Two o'clock this afternoon, at the small conference room of the Political Consultative Conference."

"Okay, I'll definitely be there."

Not only did Sister Zhu know about the afternoon meeting of the Linghai Political Consultative Conference, but in fact, all the leaders present were well aware of it.

Director He cleared his throat and sighed, "Salted Fish, I know you're attached to the bureau, and just like Political Commissioner Jiang, I'm reluctant to see you transfer. We won't force you into a difficult position on such a big decision. You don't have to decide right now; go back and think it over, and have a good discussion with Ningning."

Political Commissioner Jiang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we aren't forcing anyone into anything."
