In the blink of an eye, Han Yu had been on a business trip for three days.

The construction teams, machinery, and engineering vessels for the construction of Linghai Port gradually arrived on site. The force responsible for maintaining public order in the construction area and ensuring the safety of water traffic in the construction waters had to keep up.

At the request of the Port District Management Committee and the Port District Police Bureau, Han Xiangning organized the entire personnel of the Port Supervision Bureau and the Water Police Fifth Company. With the help of Acting Director Chen Zikun from the Bailong Port Police Station, Police Officer Xiao Gong, and the twenty or so workers from Boss Wu's shipyard, they moved the Dunship and the antique being constructed on the deck to the Sanhe Waters after eight and a half hours of intense busyness. They also successfully erected the floating bridge that was transported together.

In the past few days, the city leaders criticized several units at the city-wide cadre meeting, and the work efficiency of the power supply company and the post and telecommunications bureaus had notably improved.

The bridge had just been fixed, and the electricity was connected, and the two telephones on the Dunship were "moved" over at night. Laying the drinking water pipes was a big project, and it indeed couldn't be rushed.

The Sanhe Water Plant itself was not large, and the water pipes supplying water to the Lingda Car Ferry were not thick enough. Even if water was drawn from the Lingda Car Ferry side, the water pressure was insufficient.

Considering the water supply after the Port District is built and put into use, the Management Committee plans to invest in the construction of a large-scale water plant. The land for the construction of the water plant has been nearly expropriated, and the water intake point has been selected. It is said that the groundbreaking will start soon.

The construction workers from the two major construction units drink sedimented and disinfected river water.

It's called disinfection, but it's actually just placing a few pieces of chemicals in the water tank, exuding a smell of bleach. It's fine for bathing, face washing, and laundry, but it's really hard to swallow when drinking.

Fortunately, this problem was anticipated by Han Yu before the business trip. Han Xiangning made a call to Fang Guoya, the captain of the Binjiang Port Enterprise Fire Brigade, who then personally drove the water truck over and filled it with water before coming.

"Director Han, where should I park the water truck?"

"Just park it here."

The shore also belonged to the construction area, and the Marine Engineering Bureau, considering that the command center would be moving over soon, had specifically arranged electricians to install a solar light.

Both the Dunship and the antique were brightly lit, and the shore was as bright as day.

Surrounding himself, Fang Guoya asked with a smile, "Have you already connected the water pipes?"

Without waiting for Han Xiangning to answer, Xiao Gong, who had been busy all afternoon, grinned and said, "Branch Chief Fang, have you forgotten what we used to do? We're public security police now, but we used to be firefighting police, specializing in water."

For these former firefighting police officers, connecting water pipes was truly child's play.

Fang Guoya realized, with a bit of self-deprecating humor, "What Branch Chief Fang? The Economic Police Team has already been disbanded. You might as well call me Brother Fang."

"What about the security office?"

"The security office hasn't been disbanded; it's now called the Security Department. Captain Chen has been promoted. Now he is Minister Chen, hahaha."

Although there's only a one-word difference between security and guard, their nature is completely different. One could imagine that Chen Xiangyang would rather be the Security Director than take on this minister role.

But on the other hand, now that the Port Authority has become a city-owned enterprise, it has to look the part of an enterprise. Continuing as before without distinguishing between government and enterprise would certainly not work.

The wind by the river was strong at night, and very cold.

Han Xiangning stood his coat collar up and rubbed his hands before asking, "Brother Fang, does the fire brigade fall under the Security Department?"

This might be the only consolation. Fang Guoya said with a smile, "Security is security, firefighters are firefighters. We are now under the Department of Safety Production and no longer under the jurisdiction of Minister Chen."

"That's a good thing."

"It's slightly better than being a security guard."

Han Xiangning thought about it and then asked with a smile, "What is Director Yang managing now?"

There used to be several Director Yangs at the Port Authority. Fang Guoya instinctively asked, "Are you talking about Yang San's dad?"

"Yes."

"Yang San's dad is now impressive. The Port Authority has just established an Audit and Supervision Department, which exclusively audits financial expenditures and supervises project bidding and equipment procurement. It's even more authoritative than the discipline inspection, with the right to manage everything. Director Yang is now the minister of the Audit and Supervision Department."

Ma Jintao had no interest in the reforms of the Port Authority. Taking the water truck keys from Fang Guoya's hand, he walked around the truck and stood at the front asking, "Brother Fang, why has the license plate of the water truck changed? Wasn't it an Armed Police plate before?"

Fang Guoya looked back and replied with a smile, "Our old military unit took back the military vehicle license plates, not just the water truck's, but also those of the two fire engines."

"Why take them back? In case of a fire, doesn't the Binjiang Fire Department need your help to extinguish it anymore?"

"We still have to help when necessary. As for taking back the license plates, it was requested by the superiors, and they had no choice."

"Which superiors requested it?"

"It was requested by the Binjiang Branch of the Armed Police. Although they are at the same level as our old unit, once members of our old unit leave the military camp, their patrol has the right to manage."

"Like the patrol of the Military District?"

"More or less, they are currently joining forces with the patrol of the Military District to enforce the law on the street, specifically targeting fake soldiers, fake military vehicles, and local vehicles with military plates."

Fang Guoya took a cigarette from Chen Zikun and then turned back with a laugh, "Director Han, speaking of which, this matter has a lot to do with your hometown Si Gang."

Han Xiangning puzzledly asked, "What does checking fake military vehicles have to do with Si Gang?"

"Our old military unit has a retirement office on that street, and they rented out a military vehicle plate to hang on a local tourist bus. A few days ago, that bus took a group of old cadres to Si Gang for something, and both people and the bus were detained by them."
