Chapter 1386: Chapter 190: Changhang Bureau’s Scheme (Part 3)
"On our side, we’ll report as usual, but it’s to the Changhang Police Bureau. There’s no need to report to the City Bureau because we’re not in the same system. Even if we report to the City Bureau, they wouldn’t award us any commendation."
"How can we feel comfortable with this."
"We’ve said before, what relationship do our two sides have?" Political Commissioner Jiang turned sideways to look at Han Yu, then turned to Xiao Yu, saying meaningfully, "We’ve cooperated for over a decade; Salted Fish and Xiao Yu are the best witnesses."
The two have indeed cooperated for over a decade, but during a special fugitive operation, capturing a murderer is such a big achievement that no matter how good the relationship, it’s not possible to be so generous.
Han Yu couldn’t believe that Political Commissioner Jiang was so magnanimous.
Shi Shengyong likewise couldn’t believe his ears. After a stunned moment, he laughed and said, "Political Commissioner Jiang, Major General Jiang, why not let Wang Yan and his team take the suspect back first? I won’t leave; Salted Fish is here too, we can gather tonight."
"I’ve already said we’re one of our own; no need to be so polite."
"This isn’t about being polite; you’ve helped us greatly. It’s only right."
Shi Shengyong knew very well that as a vice director, he didn’t weigh enough, so he thought for a moment, took out his phone, and while searching for Zhang Yidong’s number, he smiled and said, "I’ll report to Mayor Zhang directly. We’ll see if Mayor Zhang has time tonight; if he does, he’ll surely come to thank everyone."
Your director comes over; how should we celebrate tonight?
If it’s very lively, it’s like slapping your face.
If it’s as if someone died at your house, is it still a celebration feast?
Political Commissioner Jiang didn’t want to make things complicated or go in circles and looked at Shi Shengyong with a smile, "Director Shi, there’s no need to disturb Mayor Zhang over such a minor matter. Our two sides have cooperated for over a decade and should naturally support each other. Salted Fish, don’t you think?"
What does this have to do with me!
Han Yu collected his thoughts but didn’t know what to say.
Political Commissioner Jiang shifted his tone, looking apologetically, "Director Shi, you might have heard about our Changhang Police applying for administrative transition. Not afraid to be laughed at, Changhang Passenger Transport has declined year by year, and those passenger ships on the river would stop whenever they want to."
If the passenger ships stop operation and the application for administrative transition isn’t approved, I’d be laid off, and even Xiao Yu would have to find a way to get a job. Hence, we all feel the crisis looming over us and are thinking of ways to earn more credit for the unit."
Shi Shengyong was confused, unsure of what Political Commissioner Jiang was trying to convey.
Han Yu likewise didn’t expect Political Commissioner Jiang to say these things but quickly realized what kind of strategy Political Commissioner Jiang and Director Qi, who went to Port Authority for a meeting, were playing at, and wanted to find an excuse to slip away.
"Political Commissioner Jiang, how do you need to earn more credit?" Shi Shengyong asked, puzzled.
"Comprehensively, we need to do well in all areas of work; only this way would our superiors know that our Changhang Police isn’t just the internal security of Port and Shipping Enterprises."
Political Commissioner Jiang once again looked at Han Yu and said with emotion, "For example, the Water Fire Fighting Association holding elections ahead of time and joining the China Water Fire Association as a group member is the Water Police Station’s support for our branch. Director Wang and Political Commissioner Ma know our difficulties now. In critical times, they hand over the leadership role of the Water Fire Fighting Association to us, establishing our branch’s water firefighting jurisdiction. This truly shows loyalty in times of trouble!"
Han Yu had already guessed that Political Commissioner Jiang would take this opportunity to take over the security jurisdiction of Linghai Port District. Linghai Police Bureau Development Zone Branch is his old unit, and thinking of his old unit trying to snatch the "territory" of another old unit felt utterly ridiculous, so he simply lowered his head pretending not to hear.
Wang Yan was bewildered, wanting to ask Director Shi if they could call down the criminal police squad to take the suspect away, but noticing the awkward atmosphere, he didn’t dare speak.
Xiao Yu didn’t understand what the leaders were discussing but couldn’t help but exchange gestures with Wang Yan.
Shi Shengyong quickly caught on, feeling overwhelmed, said with a wry smile, "Political Commissioner Jiang, our cooperation with you has a longer history than the Water Police Station’s. When we started cooperating, there wasn’t even a Water Police Station. In theory, we should also support your work, but some matters aren’t for our bureau to decide."
