Personnel Bureau folks, what are they thinking, seriously calculating this account.

Zhou Huixin couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Add it up, how much?"

"Four hundred and ninety-six."

Political Commissioner Sun quickly calculated the result, laughed, and then added: "There are bonuses too, the year-end bonus equals one month's salary, which amounts to six thousand and forty-eight for the year."

Plus the specifics and some change.

Zhou Huixin pressed further: "Is six thousand and forty-eight a lot for a year, what was the average salary last year in our Jiangnan Province?"

Without thinking, Political Commissioner Sun replied: "I'm not sure about the entire province, but in Binjiang it's just over six thousand, and a bit higher in a few other cities in Jiangnan, with the highest being over seven thousand."

Zhou Huixin was completely convinced, lit a cigarette, and muttered, "All these calculations, Salted Fish is just getting an average salary, was there a need for the Personnel Bureau to nitpick so much?"

"The problem is that most people's incomes are quite different from the average salary, at least in Linghai, cadres as young as Salted Fish don't get that much."

"How much does Ming Yuan get a month now?"

"Ming Yuan is just a staff member, his position salary is set in the third tier, eighty-seven per month, rank salary sixty-five, the base salary is the same for everyone, ninety, and his police rank allowance isn't as high as Salted Fish's, amounting to over a hundred less per month."

Comparison is indeed dreadful!

Zhou Huixin was silent for a moment, picked up the phone with a bitter smile, "The appointment is to be announced next week, we can't delay setting positions and grades any longer, it wouldn't be right to bother Secretary Ye over this issue, I'll just have to call Mayor Shen first. Salted Fish is an officer in our bureau but also a member of his park's Party Working Committee, let him figure out a way."

…

Meanwhile, Shi Shengyong and Chen Zikun were sitting beside Han Yu, envisioning a beautiful future.

"Is Ningning also going with us to Sanhe?"

"Not going with us, but Port Supervision Bureau's workload will be more than ours. Think about it, once the port project begins, millions of tons of stones have to be transported into the river, definitely by water since it's cheaper. Plus, the waterway has to be dredged, and then the river will be full of boats!"

"That's true, but there are currently only three people in the Port Supervision Bureau, can Ningning and Director Jin handle it?"

"Director Tang said he'll send Dunships and some old antiques over and will arrange to strengthen the water enforcement team for the Third Team."

"Are you guys moving?"

"Bailong Port is my home, not that far, why move? Besides, Sanhe doesn't have much right now, it will quickly become a big construction site; there's nowhere to live even if we moved over."

Zhang Ping took Xiao Gong to Linghai Bus Station, leaving only Chen Zikun at the station.

Confirming Salted Fish isn't moving, Chen Zikun joyfully said: "Good not to move, we can continue being neighbors."

Han Yu smiled and nodded, then started discussing future work.

As Shi Shengyong listened, he repeatedly shook his head: "No, no, you're a Director, you can't just focus on the river and riverside, ignoring the shoreline!"

"Director Shi, I'm not skilled in managing shoreline security, besides, my main task soon will be assisting the city in constructing the port, I don't have the energy to manage the shoreline."

"The Sanhe Township Government is soon turning into the Port District Management Committee, and Sanhe Police Station is becoming Port District Bureau, the township government and Police Station are pretty far from the riverfront, from what you're saying do we each handle a front, me at the township government, you at the riverfront?"

"Yep, actually, your workload might end up being larger than mine."

"How could it possibly be larger than yours?"

"The engineering on the riverfront is significant, and there's no shortage of work to do onshore, once the Party Working Committee and Management Committee are up, land acquisition and demolition start, just assisting the Management Committee with demolition could keep you busy."

Han Yu took a deep breath and continued, "Since they're building industrial parks, basic infrastructure must be developed first, roads built, electricity and water connected. I've seen the park's planning map, just phase one involves constructing dozens of kilometers of roads.

Plus, enterprises decided to invest in the Port District to build factories, many construction teams will be coming, hence a large influx of outsiders. Luckily, we just had a crackdown; otherwise, we'd have to thwart criminal elements monopolizing project contracts or building materials through violence."

Shi Shengyong, silent for a moment, exclaimed: "Now that you mention it, I realize the pressure won't be small."

Han Yu chuckled: "Using Mayor Shen's words, we are out to start a business, we need to be prepared to endure hardship, aiming to work hard for three years, to build up the port, to develop Linghai Port Industrial Park!"

Starting a business is tough, but not everyone is qualified to fight this battle for economic development.

You could tell from the city's recent intensive adjustment of section-level cadre actions, the cadres selected for East City Development Zone, Sanxing Home Textile Industrial Park are capable.

Compared to the Development Zone and Sanxing Home Textile Industrial Park, Linghai Port Industrial Park has even greater investment.

Participating in the bustling construction of the Port District, Shi Shengyong was overwhelmed with excitement, just as he wondered who the director of the Port District Management Committee was, the longtime Instructor from the frontier Yanjiang Police Station, Li Weiguo, accompanied by the retired Director Ge of the Transportation Bureau, showed up.

Both being elders, Han Yu promptly stood to greet them.

Old Ge had done some wrongs to Han Yu in the past, but those were old stories now, paid for with heavy prices, seeing Han Yu again wasn't very awkward but slightly bashful.

Han Yu clearly understood his reasons for coming, and as a junior, it wasn't his place to point them out, so he could only smile and ask, "Director Ge, are you still going to the bureau to work?"

"Why go to the bureau for work."

Old Comrade Ge, having handed out cigarettes all around, said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Retiring to the back lines is just making room for others; the bureau won't call me for anything, and I can't go to the bureau for no reason. In the past, that would mean I didn't have to work again, but Secretary Ye and Secretary Xie are different, they won't let us stay idle at home."
