Chapter 109: Chapter 96 Principle Issue_2"Alright," Han Yu nodded, and then with an embarrassed look, he said: "Director Xu, Han Xiangning gets carsick, and I just happen to want to see how my sister is doing at Binjiang Port Police Station. I’d like to take a leave of absence and take Han Xiangning back on my light motorcycle." Are you thinking about your sister or the girl from the Port Supervision Bureau... Xu Sanye found it amusing and said with a smile: "If you want to take her, go ahead. It’s a good chance to practice riding. Remember to bring your work ID. If traffic police stop you on the way, show them your ID and tell them you’re a police officer from Yanjiang Police Station." "Thank you, Director Xu." "Drive slowly on the way there, and remember to call the station when you arrive in Binjiang." "Yes!" ... Watching Little Salted Fish run excitedly towards the dunship, Master Ding felt a mix of satisfaction and disappointment, frowning as he said: "They sponsor such expensive equipment only for a nameplate, letting them put it up doesn’t interfere with our work." "This is a matter of principle, non-negotiable." Xu Sanye did not want to turn his dunship into a law enforcement base for two organizations, and casually stated: "If they withdraw the sponsorship for the water depth detector over such a small matter, then there’s no need for cooperation. They will definitely use the ship more than us in the future." Having a dunship with two organizations’ nameplates, what would that look like... Director Yang found Xu Sanye’s words reasonable and nodded slightly: "Old Ding, Sanye is right, this is a matter of principle." Meanwhile, Han Yu, while escorting Han Xiangning to the station, awkwardly relayed the Director’s decision. The Port Supervision Bureau has its own law enforcement bases on the river, they’re just not as luxurious as Yanjiang Police Station’s dunship. Besides, before coming here, Director Dong made it clear that while we should try to protect the Bureau’s interests, it’s not mandatory to install a big nameplate. We’ve fought for what we could, and if we can’t get it, there’s nothing we can do. Moreover, Yanjiang Police Station is very generous, welcoming colleagues from the Bureau to join without asking for rent. Han Xiangning just wanted to return as soon as possible and didn’t care about those worries that the leaders should have, smiling she said: "It’s okay, you’re just shooting the messenger, I’m just the errand girl." "Sister Xiang Ning, you’re really not angry?" "What’s there for me to be angry about? I’m just a clerk, not a director, and definitely not the bureau chief." "Thank you." seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I should be thanking you. Without you, I’d have to squeeze into a long-distance bus." Riding a motorcycle in winter is cold, and being a passenger on one is just as cold. Worried she’d get cold, Han Yu borrowed Liang Xiaoyu’s military coat for her to wear and had her put on his own military coat. Then he gave her a safety helmet that had come with the light motorcycle from Director Zhang, while he put on a cotton military cap with the ear flaps tied up, topping it off with a steel helmet. This way, it was both safe and warm. "Sister Xiang Ning, are you sitting comfortably?" "I’m all set, let’s go." Wrapped up like a cotton bundle, Han Xiangning felt a bit awkward. Han Yu turned and reminded her: "Hold on to me, hold tight." "Where should I hold?" "Hold onto my waist, and if your hands are cold, put them in my coat pockets." This light motorcycle is new, and he had just learned how to ride it, even lacking a driver’s license. Han Xiangning was a bit scared. She slipped her hands into the pockets of his coat, hugged his waist, and rested her chin on his shoulder, asking: "Is this how I do it?" "That’s good, let’s go!" Han Yu gently twisted the throttle, easing his beloved light motorcycle out of the yard. Old Zhang watched their departing figures, took out a cigarette and smiled: "That girl is not bad, just a shame she’s older and taller than Salted Fish." Old Qian took the cigarette, a touch regretful: "And she has a better job than Salted Fish. I heard the salaries at the Port Supervision Bureau are very high." "She falls under the Yangtze Port Supervision Bureau’s jurisdiction, which belongs to the Transportation Department’s Port Supervision, not the same as our county Transportation Bureau’s Port Supervision." "They both graduated from the Shipping School. How did she end up at the Transportation Department’s Port Supervision?" "Maybe her grades were good." "Salted Fish’s grades aren’t bad either; he was ranked sixth in the entire county during the middle school exams." "Job allocations aren’t solely based on grades." The two of them were chatting when Xu Sanye came back with Secretary Li, Director Yang, and Master Ding from a visit, and immediately asked what they were discussing. As soon as Old Zhang finished voicing Old Qian’s doubts, Xu Sanye invited the three leaders into the reception room, closed the door, and began to grumble. "Wang Xiazhi didn’t come today. If he did, I would definitely have a word with him." "Sanye, what’s up with Old Wang again?" "He called me two months ago, speaking in riddles and insinuations, hinting that there was a problem with Salted Fish’s job allocation." Director Yang recalled something like this and asked nonchalantly, "What’s the problem?" Xu Sanye’s expression turned serious: "Transferring someone from the Transportation system to our police system is definitely problematic, isn’t it obvious? I don’t know who’s playing tricks behind the scenes, nor do I intend to investigate and make a fuss. It’s not that Xu Sanye is timid or afraid of trouble; it’s just that stirring things up won’t solve the problem and will instead impact Salted Fish’s development." It was just a change of post, not that there was no job arranged for him. If it comes to an argument, they will have all sorts of excuses. After careful consideration, it’s true that making a fuss won’t solve the problem... Director Yang nodded slightly, not knowing what to say, when Xu Sanye spoke very earnestly and seriously again: "Salted Fish is only sixteen, just starting work, he’s still a child. It’s a critical time for establishing his worldview and outlook on life, we should show him the positive aspects, and he shouldn’t know about all these messy issues." Secretary Li agreed strongly, looking up and saying, "Then don’t let Salted Fish know." "I definitely won’t tell Salted Fish, but what does Wang Xiazhi’s call mean to me? Does he want me to make a fuss at the Transportation Bureau, and see how I deal with Old Ge? Or does he want me to go to the county committee to seek justice on behalf of Salted Fish?" "Sanye, Old Wang... Old Wang probably didn’t mean that." "Then why did he make that call to me?" One should take responsibility for their actions, and this matter directly involves the relationship between Xu Sanye and Director Wang. Director Yang took a deep breath, and with some embarrassment said, "That call was my idea." "Director Yang, you’re not kidding me, are you?" "I’m not joking; it was indeed me who told him to call." "What do you mean by that?" "Weren’t you thinking of repairing your boat at that time? I was worried you were short on money, and it just so happened Old Ge seemed a bit worried about Salted Fish being assigned to you, so I thought you might take this opportunity to approach him and see if you could get some money from the Transportation Bureau." "Ha ha ha, Director Yang, you sure are cunning." Director Yang couldn’t help but laugh and retorted, "You’re even craftier than I am." Xu Sanye suddenly felt that Director Yang wasn’t too bad as a bureau chief, sat down with a smile, and said, "I’ll settle this account with Old Ge sooner or later. If he doesn’t give me an explanation, don’t blame me for not considering our many years of friendship." Director Yang, knowing that he would do what he said, reminded him, "Old Ge might have just helped with the arrangement." "I know; there’s definitely someone behind it." Xu Sanye nodded, then turned to Secretary Li, "If only you were with the Disciplinary Committee instead of the Political and Legal Committee." Secretary Li picked up a cigarette, laughing as he asked, "Are you trying to assign my job?" "You’re a county leader; how could I assign your job? I’m just saying." "Well, I won’t be a county leader for much longer. I’ll be stepping back next year; just not sure if I’ll move to the People’s Congress or the Political Consultative Conference." "You’re retiring next year; that’s so soon!" "I’m at the age; can’t keep occupying the position." "Director Yang, your chance has come." Director Yang jumped, hastily saying, "Sanye, don’t joke about that, especially not these kinds of jokes. Besides, I’ve only been bureau chief for a few days." Xu Sanye knew he didn’t stand a chance, but still asked with a smile, "Secretary Li, have you nurtured a successor?" Secretary Li, finding the situation bittersweet, pointed at him and said, "Do you have any organizational principles? Who will succeed me is a decision for the organization." "But you can make recommendations to the organization. I myself am training successors, and when I step back, I will recommend the new candidate for Director to the bureau." "Who are you training and planning to recommend?" "I’m nurturing Salted Fish. Who else could I be nurturing? But it’s useless to talk about this with you guys; by then, you’ll either be retired or stepping back, and you won’t be able to deal with the bureau’s affairs."
