Sure, here is the translation:

The police barge went to Beihu, while the Linghai Water Patrol Police Team of the Changhang Branch borrowed the Port Supervision Department's space to work. There's a sign hanging outside the door of the second office on the left side of the hall, it can't always be left unattended.

Sister Tang from the Neighborhood Committee is also a familiar visitor to the Port Supervision Department.

The Port Supervision Department building is built on their territory and must cooperate and even support their work. You can't just dismiss the Neighborhood Committee officials because you belong to the Ministry of Transport Port Supervisor.

"Sister Tang, you're here so early today, is there something going on?" Han Xiangning approached with a smile.

Sister Tang opened her handbag, pulled out a notification document stamped with the Management Committee and street office seals, and said apologetically, "Chief Han, there's flooding over there in Beihu and Nanhu, many areas are flooded, a lot of people are affected.

We have a hard time; we mobilize support from all directions. The superior wants us to encourage donations. You're a big organization, can you help us complete some tasks?"

It's exactly what we feared!

Before Han Xiangning could speak, Sister Ling took the document with a wry smile and said, "Sister Tang, we've donated already, we've donated twice."

"Then just donate a bit less."

Sister Tang didn't want to make the trip for nothing and took out another folder from her handbag, opened it and showed them: "Linghai Port donated, Lingda Car Ferry donated, Cosco Shipyard donated, all our enterprises along the river donated, both organizations and individuals. There's going to be a public notice board later."

Han Xiangning said sadly, "Sister Tang, not only have I donated twice, but my husband, my father, my sister, you could say our whole family is fighting the floods in Beihu!"

"I know Secretary Han led a team to fight the floods, but flood fighting is flood fighting, charity is charity. Mayor Shen also went to fight floods in Beihu, but he was the first to donate in our development zone; he donated two hundred."

"Is it mandatory to donate?"

"It's not good not to donate."

The task assigned by the superior must be completed.

Sister Tang came today to tackle the hard bone of the Port Supervision Department, saying, "Chief Han, Director Ling, you're national level units, you're leaders. If you don't set an example, our work will be difficult. Not afraid to be laughed at, our Neighborhood Committee members are out there mobilizing households for donations."

"Sister Tang, we did not just support Beihu flood fighting with personnel and equipment, but also with a lot of funds. Huang Yuanchang, who used to work at our Port Supervision Bureau, is now a deputy director at the Changhang Bureau. He's the one responsible for these things, and he took all the money from our account last time for purchasing emergency materials."

"A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, even if you're poor, you're stronger than our Neighborhood Committee."

"Sister Tang, you might not believe it, but we're really out of money now!"

"Chief Han, you must be joking. Anyone could be out of money, but how could the Port Supervision Department be out of money? Just take a spin on the river, and money will come."

"Fines are a means, not an end. Besides, now during the flood, there are hardly any ships on the river."

Sister Ling didn't expect to encounter pressure donations first thing at work. Realizing she couldn't avoid it, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Tang, we really don't have money now, how about we donate a bit less individually?"

Female officials are stingy; if it were a male director and commander-in-chief, they'd be easier to talk to.

Sister Tang was very disappointed and quietly asked, "How much are you planning to donate?"

"Twenty per person."

"Twenty is too little, ordinary residents donate fifty."

"Is fifty the starting price?"

"It can't be any less than that."

"Sister Tang, we've already donated twice, our monthly salary isn't much!"

"You guys at the Port Supervision Department have high salaries. If you're out of money, we'll be farming the barren fields."

Circles are different; people don't care how much you've donated before, they just know you haven't donated here.

If you don't cooperate or show love, she'll post it all around publicly later...

What good is a high administrative level in the Port Supervision Department, as long as you're here, you're a unit within their jurisdiction.

Han Xiangning, having no other option, could only brace herself and smile wryly, "Fine, we'll donate fifty. Some colleagues are off today and won't be back until tomorrow. I'll have the office collect the donations and call you once we have them."

"Alright, sorry to trouble you, Chief Han."

"It's no trouble, come, let's go upstairs for a drink of water."

"No need, I have several other places to visit."

Sister Tang tided up the notification document, waved goodbye to the three, and went off.

Once Sister Tang mounted her bicycle and rode out of the Port Supervision Department's courtyard, Han Ning could no longer contain her laughter.

"Sis, what's so funny, didn't you donate?" Han Xiangning sighed and asked.

"I'm just visiting, not a unit staff in their Neighborhood Committee jurisdiction, why should I donate?"

Han Ning was also afraid of donations, thinking again she muttered, "You said you donated twice, our Changhang Branch did too. Our salary isn't as high as yours, our benefits aren't as good, yet we have to donate the same amount as your Port Supervision Bureau!"

For donation amounts among cadres and staff, several units in the Changhang System have the same standard, which is indeed unreasonable for the poorest Changhang Navigation Police Branch.

Han Xiangning felt a little better, walking into the elevator and laughingly asked, "Sis, if the village officials from Bailong Port come to ask for your donation, what would you do?"

Han Ning followed into the elevator, giggling secretly, "I'd hide! If they come to me, I'd come over here to you."

"Can you hide temporarily but not forever?"

"No need to hide forever, just until the day after tomorrow will be enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know?"

"I really don't know what's going on."

Han Ning was excited, couldn't sleep well all night, eagerly talked about being transferred to East Sea.
