Chapter 414: Chapter 292 "Selling Fish"!Linghai Police Bureau considered Xiao Yu as insignificant, yet the Changhang navigation police regarded him as a treasure. Han Yu felt it was all so unreal and chuckled, "What does Director Zhang think?" "Director Zhang wants us to ask for your opinion first." "Director Li, Director Tong, I think for such a significant matter, we should respect Xiao Yu’s opinion." "What does Xiao Yu know? If we just go ask him like that, he’ll definitely be reluctant." During his time at Bailong Port, Xiao Yu was always glued to Yu Zhen. If transferred to the Shipping Police School, it would mean separating from Yu Zhen and being so far from home. Han Yu didn’t know what to say, when Director Tong, with a meaningful expression, spoke, "Salted Fish, Xiao Yu has grown up; he is no longer a child. Whether as a brother or a colleague, I think you should consider Xiao Yu’s future." "Director Tong, I don’t quite understand." "When you transferred here, your file was a thick stack. When Xiao Yu transferred here, there were only a few papers in his file folder. As for Xiao Yu, education is his shortcoming. If he stays with our branch, he can only be an ordinary officer for his whole life." Xiao Yu had never attended elementary school, nor middle school, and the diploma he got from distance education was essentially bought with money. Having never formally attended school, of course there wouldn’t be any scholarly documents. Thus, Xiao Yu’s file should only be from the time he joined the party. In this regard, Xiao Yu was not as good as his sister Han Ning, who at least attended elementary and middle school. Just as Director Tong said, if Xiao Yu stays at the branch, he indeed has no future prospects; even if the branch wanted to promote him, he wouldn’t get past the human resources department of the organization. Han Yu was silent for a moment and then asked quietly, "If he’s transferred to the Shipping Police School, can this shortcoming be remedied?" "It’s not that easy to remedy this shortcoming, but at least by being close to the water one gets first access to the moon. He can earn a relatively solid diploma while working. And it’s the leadership of the Changhang Police Department that personally named him for the transfer, which is as good as having a badge of recognition from them." "Salted Fish, the Changhang navigation police are at the Full Bureau Level, on par with the Jiangnan Province Police Department. The bureau leaders have a good impression of Xiao Yu, and if he can achieve some results, it’s not impossible for him to advance in the future." "What if the superiors only need him for labor?" "We can find a way to transfer him back. Having served as an instructor at the police school is an experience, and promotion would be indisputable then." "If he’s transferred, what about Yu Zhen?" "The police school’s leadership has looked into Xiao Yu’s situation and knows he has a fiancée. They said that they would resolve the employment issue, and could arrange for Yu Zhen to work at the police school." It seems the superiors were dead set on poaching. Han Yu said with a wry smile, "To tell you the truth, I really don’t want to let Xiao Yu go." Director Li stumped out his cigarette butt, sighing, "Such a good kid, letting him go like this, we are also reluctant. But people aspire to higher places just as water flows downwards. Since there is such an opportunity, we should help him achieve it." Director Tong hesitated a moment before adding, "The police school’s leadership not only value Xiao Yu but are also interested in Yang San from Director Yang’s family. One is brave and good at the job; the other is a student from their school, coming from good roots, clever and bright." "They want to poach two in one go!" "The superiors said that if Xiao Yu is willing to transfer to the police school, then Yang San can stay on as faculty. If Xiao Yu does not want to transfer to the police school, then there would be no point in having Yang San stay." On the passenger ship incident, involving the onboard police suspected of sheltering a thief, the Yang family’s youngest son really did perform impressively. Not only did he assist in controlling the onboard police officer and the thief, but he also took care of the victim and managed to get a message out in unfamiliar places, fearing disadvantage. However, on the flip side, coming from an official’s family and having seen the world, he naturally had more to consider than Xiao Yu under those circumstances. Han Yu steadied his mind and asked quietly, "Does Director Yang intend to have his third son stay in the school?" With a touch of embarrassment, Director Tong said, "If he can stay at the school, of course it would be more promising than returning to be a firefighting officer. After all, if he can stay, there’s a chance to be transferred to the Changhang Police Department in the future, just like moving from a local police station to the provincial department headquarters." Director Li quickly said, "This logic also applies to Xiao Yu." "But our team can’t do without Xiao Yu." "Salted Fish, Director Ma knows our branch is tight on funds, and he told Director Zhang that there’s a special fund for combating crime, but there are many branches that want this funding." "Is Director Zhang planning to ’sell’ Xiao Yu?" "Director Zhang is considering Xiao Yu’s future; he has watched the two of you grow up, he thinks of you as nephews, how could he just ’sell’ Xiao Yu for some funds." "That’s exactly ’selling fish’!" "Salted Fish, I know you treat Xiao Yu as your own brother, but Xiao Yu has grown up, and you have not only grown up but also embarked on a management position, and might even advance to a leadership position in the future; you can’t always keep him by your side." "Yes, Xiao Yu has his own path to follow, we can’t be too selfish." Seeing that Han Yu remains unmoved, Director Li resorted to his trump card: "Salted Fish, you can think about it from a different perspective. If your mentor was still alive, would he mobilize Xiao Yu to transfer, or would he keep Xiao Yu at Bailong Port?" Han Yu was stunned, it took him a while to recover his senses. His mentor had once said when he went to East Sea to learn how to pilot ships: after learning, he could earn big money on ocean liners, and it would be even better if he was willing to return and continue in police work. In any case, whatever he chose, his mentor would be very happy. Specifically regarding Xiao Yu, if his mentor’s spirit is in heaven, he would definitely hope that Xiao Yu could transfer to the Shipping Police School, as it indeed holds a more promising future. Thinking of this, Han Yu asked with a wry smile, "What do I need to do?" "Motivate Xiao Yu and help persuade his parents and Yu Zhen." "But the superiors plan to let Xiao Yu join some special squad, it’s too dangerous on the water crackdown." "Isn’t firefighting dangerous? To say something unlucky, firefighting is more dangerous than catching pickpockets on a passenger ship. Think about it, how many firefighters have sacrificed over the years? And to say something very objective, exactly because firefighting is tough, exhausting, and dangerous, was your promotion to Deputy Director so smooth. For other positions, who knows how much controversy it would stir up." From this point of view, participating in the water crackdown is indeed safer than being a firefighter. Han Yu really does not want to let Xiao Yu go, but with both leaders speaking to this extent, it would be too selfish not to let go. "The railway colleagues have established the ’Iron Eagle Squad’; does Changhang Public Security Bureau intend to create an ’Osprey Team’?" "Osprey Team, haha, never thought you’d come up with that, but it does sound interesting. If Xiao Yu is willing to transfer, and willing to join the special squad, you can ask Director Zhang to suggest to the leaders of Changhang Bureau to let Xiao Yu’s group use this code name." "If Xiao Yu really transfers, where am I going to find another all-rounder like Xiao Yu!" "Xiao Gong is not bad, with proper training, just like how your mentor trained you all back then, cultivate him." "Master Qian of the Tugboat Team is about to retire, I can go talk to him, ask if he’s willing to help sail at Bailong Port for a few years." "Director Li, Director Tong, have you both thought this through?" Director Li did not want to beat around the bush anymore, tapping on the dashboard, he said: "Salted Fish, you are now a Deputy Director; you need to have a bigger picture. We are no longer Binjiang Port Police Station, we are now Changhang Public Security Bureau Binjiang Branch! If the higher-ups want to transfer our people, it shows that our branch produces talent, it’s a recognition of our branch’s work, it gives face to our branch." Director Tong strongly agreed and struck while the iron was hot: "If the superiors don’t transfer people from us but continually send people to our branch, what does that mean? It means the superiors are not satisfied with our branch’s work." Han Yu asked with mixed feelings of laughter and tears, "Do we need to maintain a good relationship with the superiors?" "It’s an opportunity, you must seize it. If things don’t work out, the superiors will definitely have opinions about our branch." "Alright, I’ll give Xiao Yu a call later and start working on his mindset." "His mindset shouldn’t be hard to work on." "What do you mean by that." Director Li laughed heartily: "Director Zhang went to Shipping Police School to see Xiao Yu on his very first night in Hanwu. Director Zhang said Xiao Yu is not only the Zone Captain of the new police officer trainee team but also the Deputy Captain of the school’s inspection team. Everyone from the school leadership to the teachers likes him; he’s getting on better there than in Binjiang." Director Tong couldn’t help but add: "Teachers and leaders like him, the trainees of the new police officer training class fear him, and students like Yang San worship him. Now he’s genuinely like a fish in water." The police school is just like any other school, where from teachers to students, everyone is relatively simple, a bit like an army camp, that kind of environment is indeed quite suitable for Xiao Yu. Han Yu could imagine Xiao Yu definitely feeling a sense of achievement there, and with resignation, he said: "If he’s happy, that’s good. He has grown up; his wings are hardened, it’s time for him to fly solo." "That’s the spirit, there’s a phone at Wushan Hotel. You can make the call from there in a while; Director Zhang is waiting for a reply." "It’s that urgent?" "Water crackdown, isn’t it urgent?" Director Li retorted, then thought and said: "There’s a teacher at the police school who is going to be seconded to Changhang Police Department Criminal Investigation Team, responsible for an anti-pickpocketing squad. Suggesting Xiao Yu to transfer to the police school as a physical training instructor, and participate in water crackdown in that capacity, was actually proposed by that teacher." Han Yu asked sarcastically, "So does this mean Xiao Yu has climbed into high branches?" Director Li could understand Han Yu’s mood at the moment and couldn’t help but laugh: "Xiao Yu is so obedient, capable, and innocent. If I were a leader, I would like him as well and use him just the same." Director Tong even more so patted Han Yu on the shoulder, consolingly said: "This is a good thing; we should be happy for Xiao Yu." Director Li suddenly remembered something and laughed again: "Almost forgot, the school’s leadership learned a lot about your firefighting team through Xiao Yu, they know you, and they know the ’First Post of the Yangtze River’, and they reported this to Director Ma. Director Ma is also very interested in you; he praised our branch during his talk with Director Zhang at noon today, saying that our branch has done a good job digging this corner. He said the next time he comes to inspect, he must visit Bailong Port, and go see the Dunships." "The superiors are interested in me too?" "You can call Director Zhang if you don’t believe it. But there’s no chance they want to transfer you away, Director Zhang would never agree to that."
