Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1023 - 671: Delivering the Good News! (2)

Mayor Qian smiled after Captain Xia finished reading, and said, "President Chen, Xiao Wu, the certificate and military merit medal for your family's President Wu earning third-level merit are with President Wu, personally awarded by the commander. I only have the photo taken when the commander commended them and a copy of the commendation order."

The government office staff quickly stepped forward: "President Chen, please take a look, here is the photo."

"Thank you, thank you, I'm very grateful."

"President Chen, how come you're thanking me again? We should be thanking you. Comrades, let's give our most enthusiastic applause once more to warmly congratulate President Wu for earning third-level merit!"

Thunderous applause rose again.

The drum and gong team began to play opportunely.

Mayor Qian turned to look, and the drum and gong team quickly stopped, while the government office staff hurriedly handed over a red envelope.

Mayor Qian took the envelope and handed it with both hands to President Wu's spouse: "President Chen, your family's President Wu is an officer in our Linghai Reserve Camp, and the Linghai Reserve Camp is our garrison. His earning third-level merit is not only a family honor but also a pride for our Linghai. This consolation money is a small token from our Linghai Municipal Committee and City Government."

"Mayor Qian, there's no need to be so formal."

"President Chen, I know your family is large and prosperous, but this is truly a little sentiment from our Linghai Municipal Committee, City Government, and the Linghai people. It's not just President Wu; any comrade who earns merit receives this. It's just a little, don't laugh at me, I truly find it a bit embarrassing."

"Not too little, thank you, Mayor Qian, we don't mind."

"Good, now I'm relieved. Come, come, come, let's take a photo together."

"Okay, Mayor Qian, you stand here."

"Director Luo, Captain Xia, please come over, President Wu is both our Linghai's pride and also the pride of your development zone."

The fine Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp has inexplicably turned into the Linghai Reserve Camp, and all achievements now belong to Linghai!

Even more outrageous, they've actually used drums and gongs to win people's hearts.

Luo Hongxin was furious, but in this setting, he could only smile, had to smile.

Mayor Qian didn't care what he thought, arranging for the photographer to take pictures while he said: "President Chen, your family's President Wu is on the front lines fighting floods, and you and your family silently support him. Our local government must offer support. If it were other comrades, I'd definitely ask if there's any family difficulties. For your family, I won't ask."

President Wu's spouse couldn't help but laugh: "Thank you, Mayor Qian, for your concern. We currently have no difficulties."

"Your family is large and prosperous; how could you have difficulties? But if you encounter any issues in your business operations, feel free to call me."

"Thank you, thank you, Mayor Qian."

"No need to thank me, it's what we should do. Later, I want to properly tour and take this chance to learn a lot."

"Welcome, welcome, Mayor Qian, don't leave at noon; I've prepared lunch. Director Luo, Captain Xia, don't leave either, please honor us by joining."

This is an enterprise in our development zone, not experiencing any business difficulties, and even if we did, it wouldn't be Linghai's concern!

Luo Hongxin realized that Mayor Qian wasn't just here to deliver good news; he had ulterior motives.

In fact, Mayor Qian wasn't the only one delivering good news today—the leaders of Linghai's four main bodies and the Linghai Armed Forces Minister were all here, beating drums and gongs to deliver good news!

Secretary Ye and Director Yang from the People's Congress were responsible for delivering to several vertically managed units.

Director Yang took the drum and gong team to the Port Authority, delivering the good news there before going to the Water Police Division and Changhang Bureau.

Currently, Customs is most important to Linghai.

Secretary Ye has maintained the tradition of "tailoring actions to individuals," with the first stop for delivering the good news being Binjiang Customs.

Chief Liu and Director Zeng and other customs leaders received "notification" yesterday, specially inviting Chief Xu from the superior unit, Jiangcheng Customs, along with the family of Customs officer Xu Mingyuan, who earned Second-class Merit.

Zhang Lan, who is both a Water Police Station officer and a Customs officer's family member, was busier than Secretary Ye today, first receiving the good news and consolation money at Customs.

If time allows, she'll later go to the Water Police Station because Director Yang from the People's Congress included her in the list, though it's unknown if there'll be consolation money there as well.

"Chief Xu, if Comrade Xu Mingyuan hadn't appeared on the Central News, I wouldn't even know that Chief Liu and Director Zeng quietly recruited someone from Linghai! It's too late to say anything now; I can only come by to deliver good news and congratulate you and Comrade Zhang Lan!"

"What do you mean recruit, Chief Xu, don't believe Secretary Ye."

"Director Zeng, where did I say anything wrong?"

"Secretary Ye, when were you transferred to Linghai?"

"Autumn of '94."

"When did you meet Ming Yuan?"

"When was it?"

"Ten years ago, back when Salted Fish and Ming Yuan were our Customs people! The Dunship sold by the Port Supervision Bureau to you, you surely visited more than once. The color TV on the Dunship, the satellite phone used by Salted Fish, including the air conditioning on the Dunship, were all equipped by us at Customs."

"Really?"

"You can ask Xiao Zhang if you don't believe."

Holding the red envelope containing one thousand yuan in bonus, Zhang Lan laughed: "Secretary Ye, Director Zeng isn't kidding, Ming Yuan and Salted Fish started working for Customs ten years ago."

Chief Xu laughed heartily: "Secretary Ye, saying it like that means there is no such thing as recruitment, Comrade Xu Mingyuan transferring to our Customs is simply returning to his position. You still owe us a person; can you let Friend Salted Fish return to position as well?"

"Chief Xu, you already recruited someone from our Linghai once, you can't keep being persistent!"

"I already said it's returning to position, a dignified City Secretary, be magnanimous."

"Chief Xu, you are a leader, you are naturally magnanimous; I am different from you, I can't be magnanimous."

From the moment the torrential rains descended on Hanwu, the entire atmosphere changed.

Now, the top priority is flood fighting; flood fighting has become the most important matter!

Take Binjiang for example, afraid previously to promote Linghai Reserve Camp, lest the province be displeased.

Now, it's different, starting from the day before yesterday, promotion has been vigorous.

Because the superior clarified the call sign of Salted Fish Camp, the promotional tone changed from Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Team (Linghai Reserve Camp) on major media, to Linghai Reserve Camp (Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Team).

In conclusion, supporting Beihu flood fighting is proper and glorious!

Of course, flood fighting within the province is also proper, similarly glorious, but the problem is the flood situation within the province isn't very severe, making it difficult to achieve results like flood fighting in Beihu, let alone escorting Vice President L to comfort disaster victims.

Precisely because of this, the officers of Linghai Reserve Camp supporting Beihu flood fighting are now highly "sought after," whichever unit has officers fighting floods in Beihu, that unit has achievements in flood fighting.

Chief Xu felt the Customs' achievements could increase slightly, smiling at Secretary Ye: "Secretary Ye, you have so many cadres and employees fighting floods in Beihu; our Customs only has three. Can you support us with a few more, so we can assemble a team?"

Linghai Port wants to apply for first-level port status, which requires Customs support.

How could Secretary Ye miss this opportunity, feigning some consideration, said with difficulty: "Cadres, we really can't support, employees we can support a few. But we need to seek people's opinions first, ask if they're willing to work at Customs."

"What about Salted Fish?"

"Chief Xu, Salted Fish's situation is rather special; you can ask Chief Liu and Director Zeng if you don't believe."

"Since Friend Salted Fish can't return to position for now, then lend us three employees, just to barely form a team."

"Deal."

"Old Zeng, you are most familiar with the Linghai Reserve Camp's situation, you do the ideological work for those three employees."

"No problem, in three days at most." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Transfer two or three to Jiangcheng, they can't all be in Binjiang."

"I understand; ensure the task is completed!"

...

Working as an employee at Customs is even better than being a cadre in Linghai!

Zhang Lan suddenly realized, thinking that there were several "stray soldiers" sent by various towns in the camp, and those veterans who hadn't been officially employed would surely be willing; she genuinely envied those veterans who had the chance to become Customs employees.
