Fang Guoya smiled and said, "There are retired military cadres and local cadres detained there. It caused quite a stir and reportedly alarmed the City Committee, the Military District, and the City Police Bureau. I don't know exactly how it was handled, but after this incident, all units stationed in Binjiang began to strengthen the management of military vehicles and their license plates."

What a story!

Han Xiangning curiously asked, "Si Gang is so big, where in Si Gang were those retired cadres detained?"

Fang Guoya thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems it happened in a town called Liangzhuang. Our former military leaders mentioned that the director and political commissioner of their retirement office were dismissed because of this incident."

"Liangzhuang!"

"Is there such a town?"

"Yes, it's not far from my grandmother's house; my aunt works as a teacher at the Liangzhuang Elementary School."

Liangzhuang has been restless for a while, Han Xiangning was thinking if it was the work of "Han Strike" again, when a police car with flashing lights slowly drove by.

Before they could see clearly which unit the police car belonged to, they heard Old Shi jokingly say, "Ningning, Captain Chen, sorry for being late, we had a meeting all afternoon until now, let me treat you to a late-night snack!"

"Master Shi, what are you doing here so late?"

"You came to help out in the Port District, we must warmly welcome and sincerely thank you."

Shi Shengyong laughed heartily and turned to introduce, "Director Miao, this is the wife of Director Yu from the Yangtze River Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau Port Patrol Third Team, Han Xiangning, the big commander, and Comrade Chen Zikun, the acting director of the Changhang Navigation Police Branch at Bailong Port Police Station..."

As Shi Shengyong said, everyone came to help the Port District.

Director Miao hurried to extend a welcoming hand and to express deep apologies.

The local leaders came to welcome and visit the Port Patrol Third Team and Water Police Fifth Company. Fang Guoya and Chen Zikun, not wanting to steal the spotlight, politely declined Director Miao and Shi Shengyong's offer for a late-night meal and left with their respective teams first.

Han Xiangning saw off Fang Guoya, Chen Zikun, and others and accompanied Ma Jintao and Director Miao to inspect the Dunship and 001, taking this opportunity for Director Miao to check the progress of the engineering command's retrofitting of the dunship.

There's no need to worry about the security on the riverside, nor about the traffic safety of the engineering boats working on the river. In half a month, the Linghai Port Engineering Construction Command will move from the old party school in Sanhe Town to direct operations nearby.

Director Miao was very satisfied with everything and followed Han Xiangning to the second-floor command and dispatch room, smiling and saying, "Comrade Xiang Ning, on the way here, I phoned Mayor Shen to report on the work. Mayor Shen said that he and your spouse just visited your former leader at Cosco Headquarters today, and your old leader was very helpful."

"Mayor Shen and Salted Fish went to see Director Feng today?"

"Yes, Mayor Shen originally wanted to invite Director Feng to a meal, but the tables turned. Director Feng was so enthusiastic that he ended up inviting him and your Salted Fish to dinner, and also got a powerful leader involved."

Han Xiangning asked with a smile, "What do you mean by powerful?"

Director Miao pointed towards the Binjiang direction and laughed, "A leader who has authority over Cosco Shipyard. Cosco Shipyard is planning to expand, and we are thinking of bringing Cosco Shipyard over here."

"So, Salted Fish went with Mayor Shen to the Capital for investment solicitation?"

"You didn't know?"

"He never talks to me about work."

"Give him a good talking-to when he comes back!"

"When is he coming back?"

"It might take a few days. Mayor Shen said he's going to visit several construction units working in the Capital tomorrow and the day after, and after visiting them, they will go to Hanwu. There's quite a bit of work to be done in Hanwu too, visiting another one of your former leaders and signing anew the contract for building the firefighting rescue ships with the waterway shipyard."

"I don't have old leaders in Hanwu. Whom are Mayor Shen and Salted Fish going to visit?" Han Xiangning looked puzzled.

Director Miao explained with a smile, "Huang Yuanchang from the Yangtze Navigation Bureau. He used to work in your Port Supervision Bureau, and he was once the Big Commander of your team."

Linghai's city leaders are actually going to visit Weasel Huang, what's going on…

Weasel Huang and Lu Binxiang, who is a psychopathic murderer, are both taboo topics in Port Supervision Bureau, and Han Xiangning really didn't want to mention that person, so she simply changed the topic: "Director Miao, Master Shi, how is the director from Sanxing Police Station who troubles my family's Salted Fish doing now?"

"You should ask Director Shi, I'm not very clear about the police affairs."

"Director Shi?"

"I almost forgot, the city committee's decision to appoint Old Shi as the deputy director and instructor of the Port District Police Bureau at Linghai Port Industrial Park Management Committee has been issued."

Han Xiangning quickly realized and hurriedly said: "Master Shi, no, Director Shi, congratulations."

Shi Shengyong smiled awkwardly: "This is the trust of the organization. I have more responsibilities now, not only to look after your family's Salted Fish but also to assist Director Miao in his work. Due to land expropriation and demolition, meetings extended till late tonight."

Land expropriation and demolition cannot push forward without police assistance.

The superior's appointment of Shi Shengyong as deputy director, something Director Miao was looking forward to, prompted him to urge with a smile, "Old Shi, we haven't had dinner yet, let's talk about Li Guangming first."

"Oh, alright."

Shi Shengyong looked up and smiled: "The afternoon Director Yu returned from Sanxing to Bailong Port, our police committee decided to suspend Li Guangming and Huang Chengjie, assigning Old Xu, Director of Police, to temporarily head Sanxing Police Station.

After this decision was announced, Li Guangming was displeased. When Political Commissioner Sun and Secretary Ren from our Disciplinary Committee talked to him, he even banged the table with Political Commissioner Sun and Secretary Ren."

Han Xiangning asked, "What happened later?"

Shi Shengyong smiled and said, "Political Commissioner Sun and Secretary Ren talked to him until it got dark, and the procedure to initiate an investigation on him was also completed by the City Disciplinary Committee. Several officials from the Disciplinary Committee rushed to our bureau and took both him and Huang Chengjie away."

"He was taken by the Disciplinary Committee?"

"It seems like double rules."

"That fast?"

"There are many reports against him, the Disciplinary Committee probably has a pile of materials against him. He caused trouble not only for your family's Salted Fish but also disrupted the investment environment of Sanxing."

Director Miao took over the conversation and knocked on the table saying, "Was it easy for Sanxing to develop this well? It's no exaggeration to say that during the early days of reform and opening up, the leaders of Sanxing Town risked imprisonment, and against great pressure supported the masses in home textile business, and rigorously promoted the embroidery market.

Li Guangming stirred up trouble in Sanxing, causing widespread grievances among cadres and citizens, many were utterly disgusted with him.

Mayor Shen just mentioned Sanxing Police Station at the meeting, and Secretary Jia and Chen Xiang directly named him, accusing him in front of city leaders and all city officials of meddling in the construction of phase three of Sanxing Home Textile Market. When both political and administrative heads of Sanxing Town simultaneously opened fire, how could Secretary Ye not take it seriously?"

Han Xiangning was stunned and asked subconsciously: "So, it's not just about him not being able to be the director anymore."

"It's his fault for walking into the line of fire."

Director Miao did not sympathize with Li Guangming at all, and thinking further he sighed, "Secretary Ye, Mayor Qian, and Mayor Shen, unlike the previous Secretary Xie, they are all doers. However, being a doer inevitably requires seeking favors, like the construction of Linghai Port, which took nearly two years of petitioning, and there's still more to come.

Doors are hard to enter, faces hard to look at, words hard to listen to, matters hard to handle - Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian both have firsthand experiences, so the city leaders know how hard it is for enterprises and the masses to get things done. Therefore, they are determined this time to establish several negative examples to change the cadre's work style, creating a favorable investment environment."

"Set up several negative examples?"

"Not only in the Police Bureau but also cadres from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Technical Supervision Bureau, Tax Bureau, and Health Bureau are under investigation by the Disciplinary Committee."

Director Miao smiled and then shifted the topic: "Secretary Ye and Mayor Shen are not only demanding us to change our work style but also asking us to humbly learn from several districts and counties across the river. Comrade Xiang Ning, in the next month, our management committee plans to organize officials into five groups for visits and studies to Shuzhou, Zhangjia Port, Kunshan, and Jiangyin.

Although Water Police Fifth Company and your Port Patrol Third Team are not directly under our port district, as they often station in the port area, they are essential in safeguarding our port construction. If you two have time, you can organize your personnel to take turns joining our study tours across the river."

This is a funded tour!

Han Xiangning laughed, unable to help but say, "Thank you, Director Miao, for your concern. Whenever we have time, both our Port Patrol Third Team and Water Police Fifth Company need to learn as well."
