Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 404 - 286: Pots Scoured, Bowls Cleaned

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the inspection motorcade arrived.

Two police cars led the way, followed by eighteen coaches, reportedly each coach carrying a city leader, and each having someone to give explanations.

Han Yu stood at attention and saluted, and after the motorcade passed, he quickly got in his car and followed to the Port Supervision Bureau entrance. The City Bureau police assisting with traffic led the drivers of the coaches to park.

Director Tang, like Zhang Junyan from the Changhang Bureau, is a representative of the National People’s Congress, was in the city for the NPC session, and Sister Zhu was representing the Port Supervision Bureau in receiving the guests.

Han Yu stuck his head out for a glimpse, not daring to get too close, and called Liang Xiaoyu who had hurried over, along with the others, to stand guard outside.

Liang Xiaoyu had never seen such a grand scene and curiously asked, "Director Yu, where did all these Political Consultative Conference members come from?"

"There are fifty or sixty from each district or county; add up seven districts or counties, and that’s over four hundred."

"I heard there are also former Political Consultative Conference members attending the meeting."

"One city leader per coach, just how many city leaders does Binjiang really have?"

Han Yu wasn’t very clear either, unsure of how to explain, when Old Zhang came over with a smile and said, "Deputy bureau level officials are considered city leaders; members of the city government’s party committee, members of the CPPCC’s party group are all deputy bureau level, there are many."

Liang Xiaoyu asked with partial understanding, "Really?"

"It should be. Just now, I saw Director Chen of the Binjiang City Bureau getting off from the ninth coach."

"Director Chen came too? Is he also a city leader?"

"He is a member of the city government party group, definitely counted as a city leader."

The inspection was not a meeting, and the CPPCC members came from all walks of life, not all of whom were officials; there were members of the Democracy Party, monks, Taoists, and other religious figures, as well as big bosses.

In any case, there were twenty or thirty members who did not follow inside.

Some were looking for restrooms, others were outside using their "bricks" to make calls, and some gathered in small groups to smoke and chat.

Han Yu was about to remind Xiao Yu to stay serious when a familiar voice that couldn’t be more familiar came from behind one of the coaches.

"Salted Fish, you rascal, instead of staying at Bailong Port, what are you doing here?"

"Director Zeng, you’re a member of the Political Consultative Conference too?"

"What Director Zeng, you should call Director Zeng!"

Just when he saw Branch Chief Zeng Xiang from the Binjiang Customs Anti-Smuggling, an even more familiar figure walked over from behind Director Zeng.

Han Yu didn’t expect to meet his elder here and joyfully asked, "Director Zhou, when did you become a member of the Political Consultative Conference? I had no idea."

"It was an additional appointment last year, perhaps the superiors considered that I am also in charge of the united front work within the bureau."

Former Chief of the Water Police Division, now Deputy Director Zhou Hong of the Binjiang Agricultural Bureau, patted Han Yu on the arm and turned with a smile, "Almost got sidetracked. Director Zeng has been promoted to Deputy Director, you should promptly call Director Zeng."

Realizing this, Han Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "Director Zeng, greetings, congratulations!"

"What’s there to congratulate, first tell me, why have you come here?"

"I’ve been transferred to the Changhang Bureau."

Han Yu lifted his arm to show Deputy Director Zeng the badge on his sleeve.

Seeing that his badge was indeed different from the local police, Zeng Xiang, unable to restrain his excitement, patted the eagerly silent Xiao Yu and curiously asked, "When did you become part of Director Zhang’s team?"

"Last year, on the twenty-eighth of the twelfth month."

"Xiao Yu has put on the uniform too!"

"Director Zeng, I’ve been promoted, I’m now a real policeman, a real cop!"

"Great, that’s really good, you must do the work well, and don’t let down your mentor or Director Zhang."

"Yes!"

Afraid of speaking out of turn and being scolded when he got back, Xiao Yu simply stood at attention and saluted.

Zhou Hong looked back at the Port Supervision Bureau compound and with feigned displeasure said, "Xiao Yu could have been promoted in our Fishery Administration Branch too, and Salted Fish could have become the Deputy Division Commander if he joined our Fishery Administration Branch, but these two stinkers didn’t want it, insisting on wearing the police uniform and being police."

"Old Zhou, they can be of greater help to your Fishery Administration from within the police system."

Zeng Xiang smiled faintly and teased Han Yu, "Salted Fish, you’ve been transferred to the Changhang Bureau, why didn’t you give me a call beforehand? They say the son pays the father’s debts; your mentor had an agreement with our Customs, and now that he passed away too young and you’ve switched jobs, what about our agreement?"

Han Yu quickly replied, "It will continue."

"Can you still keep it?"

"I’ve just been transferred work-wise to the Changhang Bureau, I’m still at Bailong Port, the Dunship and 001 are still at Bailong Port, and there are actually more people than before."

"And the guns?"

"The same."

"So, our Customs can still come to you for help."

"Of course, you can call me anytime."

"Good, let’s agree on that."

...

At the same time, Director Chen stepped out from the Port Supervision Bureau’s traffic control building.

A staff member caught up and asked, "Director Chen, are there any instructions?"

"No instructions, carry on with your work, don’t mind me."

"Alright, I’ll head back in."

Director Chen felt it odd to see two young and familiar faces as he got out of his vehicle, so he entrusted Vice Chairman Wang of the CPPCC, who was accompanying the inspection, to look after his designated group and headed straight to the entrance to see if he was mistaken.

Turned out upon exiting, he did indeed find the two ’fish’ he had seen at Bailong Port.

"Comrade Salted Fish, come here."

"Ah..."

"Come here."

City Bureau leadership had actually come and was specifically calling for him.

Han Yu had no time to chat with the two elders and quickly ran forward to stand at attention and salute, "Reporting to Director Chen, the Changhang Bureau Water Firefighting Team is on duty, awaiting your instructions!"

"What Changhang Bureau, what Water Firefighting Team?"

"Director Chen, I... I’ve been transferred to the Changhang Bureau."

Afraid the City Bureau leader wouldn’t believe him, Han Yu raised his arm again to show his sleeve badge.

Seeing the anchor emblem of the shipping police on the badge, Director Chen’s brow furrowed, "You’ve transferred to the Changhang Bureau, when did this happen?"
