Chapter 151: Chapter 125 "Heartache and Furious Anger"_2

Xu Sanye invited Director Ge into the command cabin, and while making him sit down, he sighed, "Shouldering burdens is exhausting, but seeing leaders lead by example gives me strength. What I admire most is Secretary Yue, who, after assigning tasks, picks up the carrying pole and leads the work himself. Just tell me, which of the current county leaders can do that?"

"Sanye, if you were a county leader, you’d definitely be able to do it."

"I can’t be a county leader, and besides, we really need to reflect. We worked so hard back then, but why are the people still not well-fed and warm? Comrade Xiaoping is right; poverty isn’t socialism, development is the absolute principle, reforms and opening up are a must."

"Sanye, with your awareness and your capability, being a county leader would be more than enough for you."

"Old Ge, you’re just trying to cheer me up."

"Why would I be trying to cheer you up? I honestly think making you a police station chief is underutilizing your talent. If the current county leaders had the same responsibility as Secretary Yue, you would be at least a deputy bureau chief by now."

"I don’t feel wronged, Old Ge. You might not believe this, but I am really grateful to those leaders who exiled me here. If not for them, I’d still be holed up in Xin Hai, and wouldn’t have such a vast world to explore."

Xu Sanye pointed outside, his spirit soaring, "Right now, I gallop along the Yangtze River; do you believe that one day, I will also gallop across the sea?"

"I believe."

Director Ge hurriedly flattered, "Others benefit from the shade of a big tree, but you have more than just a big tree; you have an entire forest! With the support of the Police Bureau, Port Supervision Bureau, Customs and Binjiang Port Police Station, galloping across the sea – even the Pacific Ocean is just a matter of time."

"Old Ge, I love to hear that. In fact, I also have to thank those who shoved Little Salted Fish my way. If it weren’t for them violating principles and messing with the job placement of college graduates, Yanjiang Police Station would not be where it is today, and I, Xu Sanye, wouldn’t have had the chance to gallop along the Yangtze River."

Again, Little Salted Fish, mentioned even more bluntly than before.

Director Ge felt a tingling scalp, grimacing, "Sanye, our Transportation Bureau is just a receiving unit..."

"Do you know or not?"

"I know a bit."

"Why didn’t you stick to the principles? Old Ge, you were trained by Secretary Yue himself, if his spirit in heaven knows you’ve turned out like this, he would definitely send a dream to have me put a bullet in you!"

He’s wild enough, and he’s even been to Beijing University in the capital.

Not only is he strong in his fists, but his theoretical level is also high, and he often stands on the high ground of party spirit, principles, law, and morality, ready to critically and even desperately lash out at you.

Director Ge realized this was going to be a tough one, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, and didn’t dare make a sound.

"Let’s talk about work again. I’ve approached you before, asking if you’d like to chip in some money to repair this old tugboat together, so we can carry out joint law enforcement on the river."

"Sanye, that’s really not within the Transportation Bureau’s jurisdiction."

"You say it’s not your jurisdiction, but I’m closer with Director Feng from the Port Supervision Bureau than you are. I’ve checked with Director Feng; some of the waters that the Ministry of Transport Port Supervisor can’t manage are overseen by the local Port Supervision, and that’s still the Yangtze River Mainline!"

Xu Sanye pointed and poked at him, "You’re afraid of trouble, thinking it’s better to do less than do more and too lazy to manage. I’ve already said that with me here, there’s no work that can’t be done well and no matter that can’t be handled, but you just didn’t believe it, and now you regret it, right?"

Director Ge asked cautiously, "Regret what?"

"We deployed three people here, and two of them are female comrades. Do you know how many boats they’ve inspected and how many tickets they’ve issued in just over half a month?"

"How many tickets?"

"A few hundred thousand."

"That much!"

"Issuing fines is just a means, the goal is to maintain maritime transportation safety. But, Old Ge, with just a bit more initiative on your part, and with me, Xu Sanye here, bringing in a million in fines a year would be as easy as turning my hand. But you missed the opportunity, only knowing how to help others cheat."

Director Ge truly regretted.

Regretted doing those few people’s bidding, and also regretted not listening to Xu Sanye and chipping in money to repair the boat.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and thinking about the term Little Salted Fish, he nervously asked, "Sanye, what do you want?"

"I promised Chief Tang to find out exactly how Little Salted Fish was assigned here. Even if I hadn’t promised Chief Tang, I would have investigated this matter thoroughly."

Xu Sanye knocked on the table, emphasizing, "You heard the leadership of Binjiang Port Police Station say this morning, Little Salted Fish is a child of the Port Authority! By doing this, what would the leaders of the Port Authority think? Old Ge, I can tell you clearly, the entire Port and Navigation System is very concerned about this matter, and they are all waiting for my investigation results."

If Little Salted Fish had been arranged in other units, or under someone else, she definitely wouldn’t have any more ties with the Port and Navigation System.

Even if there was an intersection, it wouldn’t alarm so many leaders.

Director Ge really hated the few people behind this matter and asked as if he had lost his ancestors, "What do we do now?"

"Scared?"

"I’ve barely been the head of the Transportation Bureau for two years."

"Did you accept any benefits from others?"

"No, I swear on my conscience. If I took even a penny in bribes, may lightning strike me down."

"Stop swearing oaths, it’s useless to swear them with me."

I didn’t drink at noon, so I’m going to have a good few drinks later with friends from East Sea.

Xu Sanye didn’t want to get entangled in this matter and directly made a condition: "In consideration of our years of friendship, I can let you off the hook, but you can’t not show some gesture."

"Sanye, I knew you wouldn’t just stand by and watch me get into trouble."

"Cut the flattery, I haven’t finished yet."

"Go on."

"I heard you’re going to pool funds to build houses again, and I guess you’ve reserved quite a few for the county committee and government. You must have prepared a few sets for the friendly bureaus and offices too, right? Whether it’s personal or inter-departmental relations, we should be fair."

"That’s easy to say, how many sets do you want?"

"I won’t ask for too much, just leave two units for our Police Bureau."

"Two units!"

"Yes."

"Sanye, aren’t you grilling me on the fire? We only built a few buildings in total."

"That’s your problem. I’m leaving the message here, if there aren’t two units, don’t blame me for not taking into account old ties."

Xu Sanye thought for a while and then said, "Considering this is difficult for you, I can represent our department to help you with a few operations. We can arrange traffic police to help you check for road maintenance fees, and we can also help check inland river vessels. You have Port Supervision, right?"

There aren’t many cars on the road to collect maintenance fees from.

As for checking inland river ships, you won’t find anything special, after all, inland river situations are completely different from those on the river.

Director Ge was in an awkward situation between laughter and tears. Xu Sanye rolled up his sleeves to check his watch: "Give you one minute to think, give me an answer, yes or no."

"Okay, I’ll figure out a way when I go back. At worst, we can build another building."

"That’s the right attitude, but this only means I won’t pursue this any further."

"Sanye, what do you mean by that?"

"You’ve wronged Little Salted Fish. Shouldn’t you show some gesture of apology?"

"What kind of gesture?"

"If it weren’t for the fact that the kid who squeezed out Little Salted Fish was innocent, and I didn’t want to ruin the kid because of this, I would really want to send all of you to the Disciplinary Committee!"

Xu Sanye snorted coldly and continued, "You all should be distributing New Year’s goods by now, pass a message to those people who played tricks, send over all the goods the department distributed this year, I’ll find an excuse to compensate Little Salted Fish. Starting this year, do it for three consecutive years, and only then this matter will be settled."

Old Ge also felt that they should compensate Little Salted Fish and quickly said, "Okay, I’ll go back and tell them."

"Including your own, and it must be the goods distributed to you by the department. If you’ve already given them out as New Year gifts or eaten them, buy them out of your own pocket. If you do any more crooked things because of this and let me find out, don’t blame me, Xu Sanye, for going back on my words!"

"Rest assured, I guarantee we won’t engage in any crooked ways, we won’t take advantage of public resources."

"You got away with it this time, if not for considering the growth of the two children, I... I..."

"I know, Sanye, we’ve agreed on this. I’ll go back now and talk to them, I also have to work on the housing project."
