Chapter 179: Chapter 143 Who is the Hero_2

Zhang Junyan’s face, ears, and hands were all frostbitten, making him look ghastly, yet he still participated in the operation and served as the captain of the fifth assault team...

Under normal circumstances, each of them would be considered heroes.

However, at this moment, among the triumphant fleet of law enforcement vessels, there was only one hero, and that was Wang Xiangguang, a reporter from the Binjiang People’s Broadcasting Station’s news department.

"Great job! Such incidents should be reported and exposed! Reporter Wang, I, Xu Sanye, admire few people, and you are definitely one of them, and very high on that list."

"Director Xu, I just did what a journalist should do, I didn’t expect it to actually get published."

"When it comes to journalists, there are plenty of them, so why is it that only your news gets published? That’s real talent. I want to be friends with you, and I’ll buy you a drink when we get back."

Xu Sanye was truly delighted.

Because it made the front page of the second edition of People’s Daily, not only would Binjiang City pay attention to it, but also several counties and cities downstream of the Yangtze River, the province, and even the whole country would pay attention.

He could even imagine that the superiors would definitely take significant actions next.

Whether it’s the Yanjiang Police Station or the Binjiang Changjiang Port and Navigation Supervision Bureau, including the Binjiang Fishery Station, none should fight alone anymore.

Han Yu was also very happy, admiringly looking at Reporter Wang, thinking that after returning, he could finally get a good night’s sleep.

Reporter Wang had dealt with Xu Sanye before and knew very well how challenging it was to earn Xu Sanye’s approval or be considered his friend, feeling quite embarrassed while being praised when Han Xiangning poked her head out and called, "Reporter Wang, your editor-in-chief is looking for you."

"Oh, I’m coming!"

Xu Sanye watched the back of Reporter Wang, then sat down on the deck with a sigh, "Salted Fish, see? This is the advantage of having good education. People who study well and write well can accomplish what many of us cannot."

Han Yu turned and looked at Scholar Yu, who was rubbing his chin, and whispered, "Director Yu is also good at writing."

Scholar Yu put down his arm and smiled bitterly, "What I write are leadership speeches, summary reports, and materials for submission. They are all meant for the leaders to read, incomparable to what Reporter Wang does."

Xu Sanye nudged him with his elbow, "When you have time, you can also try writing and submitting it to newspapers. Just submit to a few, and it’s sure to be published."

"Director Xu, there are some things others can write that I cannot."

"That’s true, we can’t afford to lose the big for the sake of the small. Among ten leaders who all rely on their pens, at least nine of them dislike it when someone writes well and gets widely published. Better not to write, you should focus solely on being the director of the Water Police Station."

"Director Xu, am I fit for it?"

"If I say you’re capable, then you are. In fact, you’ve already proved yourself today by commanding excellently."

"With your support, I’ll give it a try."

"That’s the right attitude, Salted Fish and I will fully support you."

It’s one thing for a Director to groom his successor, but even grooming a director!

Han Yu felt thrilled and couldn’t help laughing, "And Xiao Yu, Director Yu, Xiao Yu also had your candied haw, he will surely support you as well."

Remembering the recent scene of trying to ingratiate themselves at the Yanjiang Police Station, Scholar Yu laughed and said, "Right now I don’t have much to offer, just candied haw to treat you all. If I become the real director and gain power and wealth, while others offer you a light motorcycle, I’ll get you a Santana."

"Salted Fish, it looks like you’ll need to learn how to drive."

"Director Xu, I was just joking with Salted Fish."

"This is no joke."

Xu Sanye took out a cigarette, handed one to Scholar Yu, pulled out a match to light his own, and then passed it to Scholar Yu, taking a deep drag and said, "With Reporter Wang’s news being published, the city leaders surely can’t sit still.

I bet the city leaders are currently convening a meeting with the heads of the Agricultural Bureau, the Port Supervision Bureau, and the City Bureau, probably already at the riverside trying to see the situation for themselves, possibly planning to organize a joint law enforcement by several departments."

Scholar Yu pondered, "I guess they will rush to the riverside at the first opportunity and summon heads of relevant departments for a field meeting."

"But whatever meeting they hold is useless because all the vessels that can enforce the law on the river in Binjiang are here with us, haha."

"Director Xu, I don’t quite understand."

"You are the chief commander, you have the final say on the law enforcement vessel fleet, and you’ve just led and even commanded a joint enforcement operation. When you reach the Binjiang waters, you organize everyone to clean up again, after that, the city leaders will only consult you and not anyone else!"

"What then?" Scholar Yu asked eagerly.

Xu Sanye pondered for a moment and smiled, "We can’t control the vessels and law enforcement personnel from other units, but after cleaning up the Binjiang waters, we will pull back our forces."

Scholar Yu asked with a distressed face, "Is it appropriate to pull back at this time?"

"Everyone is exhausted. We have been escorting since the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, drifting on the river until today. To trace the whereabouts of the just-caught forty-something criminals, you haven’t even been home for the New Year. We’re not made of iron; who can stand this?"

"Then what next."

"Complain about hardships and cry poverty."

Seeing that Scholar Yu was clueless, Xu Sanye turned around, and exclaimed with excitement, "Present the facts and reasoning to the city leaders, let them know that in the entire Binjiang waters, you only have four men under you and I have four officers at the Yanjiang Police Station. A few contract police officers from the Water Police Squadron were recruited with money you begged for. The law enforcement vessels of the Water Police Support Group were also sponsored by the people you shamelessly asked.

You have no money, no official staffing, no vehicles, no law enforcement vessels, no office space, and you’ve already done so much; what right do city leaders have to ask you for more? In short, it’s a rare opportunity, speak boldly and confidently, the City Bureau leaders will definitely support you, the more you ask for, the happier Director Zhong will be."

The County Police Bureau has little money, and the City Bureau is just as poor.

Finally catching an opportunity, it’s possible to ask the city for some money.

Scholar Yu thought for a moment and then asked again, "Director Xu, what if city leaders say that it’s not just us on the river, but also the Binjiang Port Police Station?"

"Continue to present the facts and use reasoning. The main responsibilities of the Binjiang Port Police Station are the security of the port district and the two passenger terminals. Including the director, they have thirty-some people, with the two passenger terminal Police Stations accounting for over a dozen."

Xu Sanye paused, then continued, "The port district handles so much cargo every day, easily millions or even tens of millions. Is security in the port district important? And among the cargo, there are light oils, heavy oils, crude oils, and even flammable and explosive dangerous chemicals. Is firefighting in the port district important?"

Scholar Yu pondered, "That’s true. If Director Chen can manage the security and firefighting in the port district well, he won’t be able to take care of the river."

Only if Scholar Yu becomes the real director can the suppression of the water bandits have any hope.

Xu Sanye didn’t want to miss the precious opportunity brought by Reporter Wang, he patted his shoulder, "Right now you have nothing, but once you go ashore, as long as you dare to ask, you can have everything."

"Really?"

"Trust me, the province will definitely send someone, and the city will definitely want to make some noise before the provincial leaders arrive. No matter what the city wants to do, they can’t function without us."

Xu Sanye thought for a moment, then turned back and said, "Salted Fish, you’re familiar with Binjiang. After cleaning up the eel fishing boats in the Binjiang Port waters, you and Zhang Lan follow Director Yu ashore and help Director Yu establish the Water Police Station."

They say thirty years on this side of the river, thirty years on that side, who would have guessed that a news report could change someone’s fate.

With Reporter Wang’s report making a big splash, the Water Police Station is also likely to truly be established.

Han Yu looked back at Scholar Yu and couldn’t help asking, "What about Captain Chen and Brother Ma?"

Xu Sanye laughed, "They have a big operation."

Scholar Yu subconsciously asked, "What operation?"

"Xu Mingyuan followed the trail to find several significant spots for buying or even smuggling eel fry. This is also an ace up the sleeve and you’ll definitely find it useful once ashore."

"Director Xu, you’re giving me everything!"

"River security can’t rely just on me, Xu Sanye, to be well managed. Only if you become the real director can it be well managed. Besides, I can’t give you everything, for example, 001, I would never give it up to you."
