Chapter 340: Chapter 241: Became Famous!Linghai Sanitation Creation is mainly focused on urban areas, and doesn’t really relate to Four Factory Town which was just upgraded to a town, and it has nothing to do with Bailong Port, as Bailong Port, despite being lively, is just a village. Old Zhang and Director Ding live in Four Factory Town and usually work by the riverside, their interactions with the bureau are limited to approvals and collecting their salaries. They had only heard about the city’s sanitation initiative but didn’t know the specifics, nor when the superiors would come to evaluate. It was only today at noon, when Old Zhang attended the wedding of a colleague’s son, that he heard from others that Han Yu single-handedly thwarted the city’s big plan to create a sanitary city. He couldn’t believe it was true and quickly went back to the Dunship to call Han Yu. After Old Ding took a step back from his front-line duties, he adopted the attitude of a monk hitting the bell once a day, meaning he just needed to do his job well and didn’t care about bureau affairs, let alone city affairs. Watching Old Zhang finish his call with Han Yu, he couldn’t help but ask with a smile, "Has Salted Fish become famous?" Old Zhang confirmed it wasn’t baseless rumours, and after putting down the phone, he said bitterly, "Good news never goes beyond the gate, but bad news spreads far and wide. How can you still laugh about it?" seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What do you mean ’everything’s being said’?" "Rumors out there are detailed, saying that the sanitation city evaluation not only looks at environmental sanitation and green space on the surface but also checks social security and public discourse. Salted Fish, on the critical moment of the inspection, marched a group of criminals through the streets, which cost points for social security and public discourse." "Really?" "I don’t know, I’ll make another call and ask around." After so many years in service, who doesn’t have friends in the various bureaus of the city? Old Zhang inquired around and found out it wasn’t the case at all. The evaluation mainly focused on patriotic sanitation organization management, health education, urban sanitation, public and drinking water hygiene, food hygiene, infectious disease prevention, city-wide pest control, residential and public sanitation, and public opinion surveys. Old Ding realized that Salted Fish was being made a scapegoat and complained, "It’s good if the creation doesn’t succeed, especially that ’patriotic sanitation organization management’." Salted Fish being a scapegoat meant the Police Bureau was also being made a scapegoat, and the bureau leaders would definitely get criticized by the city. Old Zhang lit a cigarette, absentmindedly asked, "What’s the issue with patriotic sanitation organization management?" "There’s a Loving Sanitation Committee in the city, and now even towns have these sanitation offices, just like health and epidemic prevention stations checking everything, selling cockroach and rat poison, and fining people left and right. The Boss Lady at Bailong Port Restaurant was asking yesterday what exactly these sanitation offices do, and whether they truly have the authority to charge fees and fines." Patriotic sanitation organization management... Management means collecting fees. It seems like every unit now has the right to charge fees. Old Zhang disliked it as well, but now was not the time to complain about the sanitation office in Four Factory Town. He said worriedly, "Some rumors can’t be trusted, but some might not be completely unfounded." Old Ding instinctively asked, "What rumors?" "Some say that Secretary Chen has been the top leader for nearly ten years and is counting on the success of this sanitation initiative to advance further, otherwise he’ll have to step back. So he’s particularly annoyed and even considering reshuffling our bureau’s leadership." "Are they going to shuffle Director Yang and wall grass?" "It’s all over the rumors." "Director Yang has been in his role for nearly ten years too, and wall grass, that Political Commissioner, has served even longer. Even without this issue, they would need to be shuffled. Besides, Director Yang is a member of the City Government party group, a Deputy Department Level city-managed cadre. Secretary Chen can’t just reshuffle him." "But this incident definitely affects Director Yang and Commissioner Ding." "What kind of impact can it have? Just some criticism, right? As long as they do their job, how can they not be criticized?" Old Zhang was not as easy-going as Old Ding, frowning deeply, he asked, "Director Ding, with such a big issue arising, why has the bureau not called us yet? Why haven’t they approached Salted Fish until today?" Old Ding took a big sip of his tea, saying with a hint of schadenfreude, "It’s not our concern, why would they call us? As for Salted Fish, they are not easy to approach either, Salted Fish is serving a position at the Water Police Station and is a police officer there. The Water Police Station’s officers act righteously, they helped catch robbers who were robbing at knifepoint, they should be thanking him. If they really want to approach Salted Fish, Wang Xiazhi could help Salted Fish turn it right back on them and demand they commend Salted Fish." Thinking about it, it really made sense; this matter shouldn’t be pursued deeply, the deeper it is pursued, the more embarrassing it becomes for the bureau since their lacking in social security was already evident. But the bureau not pursuing it doesn’t mean there are no consequences for Salted Fish. Old Zhang solemnly said, "I heard Director Li got scolded by the city leaders." "It’s normal to be scolded, I’ve been scolded too." "On the day of the inspection, Chen Da who was responsible for traffic control, and Jianghai from the Security Team who was in charge at every city intersection, essentially every police station chief involved in the operation got criticized." "They are just venting their frustrations on our Police Bureau." "Shi Shengyong got it even worse." "Shi Shengyong was implicated too?" "The incident happened in his jurisdiction. Those unruly brats, before being caught red-handed by Salted Fish, had been handled by him multiple times. Whether or not they gathered benefits from them, his leniency and insufficient educational measures mean he won’t be the Southern City Police Station Chief for long. I heard he’s going to be shifted soon." Southern City Police Station is the largest in Linghai jurisdiction with the most police officers, and several of its past Directors smoothly moved up into the bureau’s party committee after serving for a few years. The current committee member and Political Work Office Director, Sun Jiawen, was also a former Southern City Police Station Chief.
