Chapter 207: Chapter 164 Precautions_2

Director Jiang realized and sighed lightly, "He’s creating opportunities for Little Salted Fish, wanting to utilize his young age advantage!"

"Right."

"What if Little Salted Fish wants to come back after two or three years?"

"He would support him all the same, and even be happy about it. After all, it means that he has cultivated for the Linghai Police Bureau, and indeed for our Binjiang Police System, an officer capable of captaining a large vessel."

Wang Wenhong deeply admired Xu Sanye and, upon reflection, exclaimed, "I’ve heard that the East Sea Shipping Public Security Bureau is quite remarkable. Over the years, they’ve arrested many fugitives and cracked numerous cases. Some involved drug abuse and trafficking, some smuggling—cases we can’t even imagine.

Sending Little Salted Fish there, he can not only learn to pilot sea vessels, but also grasp police work.

If he does well at the Marine Police Bureau for three years, gets promoted among the crew, and learns the police business, and if he puts in extra effort to secure an associate degree, then if he’s willing to continue in police work when he comes back, he’ll have a promising future even if he doesn’t take over Xu Sanye’s role."

The passenger shipping company of the East Sea Marine Bureau operates along coastal routes, southward to Hong Kong and Guangzhou, and northward to Dalian and Qingdao, with a passenger volume of over three million trips per year, and their liners dock in major cities.

Not to mention anything else, but just in terms of broadening horizons, staying at Bailong Port or even in Binjiang can’t compare.

Director Wei secretly lamented that when it comes to talent cultivation, he truly had no way to compare with Xu Sanye.

Director Jiang then asked with a smile, "Political Commissioner Wang, he’s also a committee member of your bureau’s party committee, is he heading to your bureau now?"

"He hasn’t visited, and hardly inquires about the bureau’s affairs."

"Doesn’t inquire?"

"Not inquiring is the biggest support for us."

Having shuffled the cards, Wang Wenhong admitted with a touch of embarrassment, "Thinking about it now, I had been judging a noble person by my own mean measure previously, especially concerning infrastructure issues, where I actually worried he would oppose."

Director Wei asked with a chuckle, "Does he strongly support it?"

"Strongly supports."

Wang Wenhong nodded and sighed, "My consideration at the time was that many officers came from Linghai, and being Water Police is tougher than land-based police due to being exposed to wind and rain. If in Binjiang, they don’t even have a place to stay, how can we retain people? If I, who is in political work, can think of this, how could he, who has taken charge of the work, not consider it?

Moreover, he wholeheartedly supports Director Yu to be the real director, motivated me to come to Binjiang to serve as Political Commissioner, and even poached your corner by encouraging Old Zhou to transfer to the Local Police, all to crack down on the water bandits’ vessels. As long as the overall direction is correct, he will support whatever you do."

Director Jiang suddenly envied Xu Sanye, genuinely feeling that Xu Sanye lived a carefree life.

Director Wei teased, "Old Zhou, transferring you over here must have put you in a tough spot. I heard you lost a good few tens in salary."

Zhou Hong was momentarily taken aback before hurriedly saying, "It’s not a tough spot, it was my own wish to come here. Besides, if I didn’t transfer to Local Police sooner, it would have been done later anyway. If I come over now, I could still mix in as a deputy director; if I wait until it gets merged, I might only be able to serve as an ordinary officer."

He wasn’t joking; he was discussing a very real issue.

As early as two years ago, the Ministry of Transport had decided to transfer five ports including Binjiang Port to local jurisdiction, having issued several official documents. The Port Authority even formed a Leadership Group specifically to negotiate with the city on the takeover by local leadership.

The entire Binjiang Port was to be transferred to local control, which meant that the Binjiang Port Police Station could no longer exist independently; it was very likely to be merged into the Binjiang City Police Department.

Because of the handover to local control, the Port Authority had been in a state of trepidation for the past two years, with leadership worried about administrative rank and positions, and staff concerned about their salaries and benefits...

It is worth mentioning that the Ministry of Transport’s documents stated "transfer one by one as conditions become ripe," so there was constant talk of transferring to local control, but with no action taken, nobody knew when Binjiang City would take over.

When Xu Sanye proposed that Zhou Hong transfer to the Water Police Station to become a deputy director, the leadership of the Binjiang Port Police Station so strongly supported it because, in reality, they wanted Zhou Hong to pave the way up front.

Although he would just be the deputy director of the Water Police Station, he would at least have a say there, and if it really were to be integrated into the Local Police Department in the future, perhaps he could assist other officers; after all, there were over thirty of them.

As the four discussed when the Port Authority would transfer to local control, Xu Sanye finally arrived, bringing with him a middle-aged man that none of them recognized.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

Xu Sanye shook hands firmly with Director Jiang, introducing with a smile to the side, "Let me introduce, this is Master Han from the Meteorological Bureau. You’re not familiar with Master Han, but you should have seen Xiao Han from the Third Team; Master Han is Xiao Han’s father. Over New Year’s, a radar issue arose on the 001, and it was Master Han who came to fix it."

"Oh, so you are Xiang Ning’s father, hello Master Han."

"My name is Han Shuqun, greetings to all the directors and political commissioners."

"What directors and political commissioners, here we only have old friends and new friends."

With everyone present, Director Jiang hurried to ask the waiter to serve the dishes.

Xu Sanye sat down and explained that Little Salted Fish had managed to get hold of radar parts in East Sea and had them sent back by the onboard police of the Bai Shen Passenger Liner. He planned to ask Friend Han to come and help with the installation over the weekend.

Wang Wenhong helped pour the wine, smiling, "Master Han, your daughter is very outstanding, not only beautiful and articulate in Mandarin but also incredibly hardworking."

"Yes, I’ve seen her several times."

"Sorry to have troubled everyone. Some time ago, she was arranged by her unit to assist at Bailong Port, and she was all under Director Xu’s care."

"I didn’t really look after her much; it was your nephew Salted Fish who was looking after her. The two kids are very close, almost like real siblings."
