Chapter 704: Chapter 482: Complete Clean-Up!_2

Han Xiangning brought out a few decks of cards, inviting the leaders to play the card ga Upgrade.

Director Yu and Director Zhang tead up, Director He and Director Zhou partnered up, while Director Peng and Political Commissioner Wang, being rely departntal heads, didn’t qualify for a seat at the table and could only sit on the side to watch.

Xiao Yu knew in advance that the "Big Fish Bureau" and Director Zhang were coming, so she had Lin Xiaohui arrange the most upscale suite at the Linghai Hotel.

Director Yu, thinking about how spacious the room was, suggested while shuffling cards with a smile, "Old Peng, Old Wang, tell the staff to bring over the table from Director Zhang’s room; you can set up another ga with Salted Fish and Ningning."

"Director Yu, I drank a bit much tonight, really can’t play, it’s good enough just watching you guys."

"Yeah, we’re fine just watching."

"Director Peng, Political Commissioner Wang, have so tea, it’ll help with the alcohol."

Han Xiangning and Han Yu transford into waiters on the spot, one serving tea and pouring water, while the other busied themselves with moving the coffee table and nightstand to set tea cups and ashtrays for the elders.

Zhang Junyan looked up with a smile and said, "Ningning, don’t mind us, go and see off Director Zhu."

"Sister Zhu has already left."

"When did she leave?"

"After saying goodbye to you all, she left. She ca with Mayor Shen’s ride, and Mayor Shen is heading back to the city tonight, so she caught a ride with him."

No sooner had Han Xiangning finished speaking than Director Yu jokingly asked, "Salted Fish, you’re both under Director Zhou and Mayor Shen now, why didn’t you see off Mayor Shen?"

"I would have liked to, but Mayor Shen insisted I stay and keep company with you, the leaders."

"What’s there to keep company with us for?"

"Because you are leaders, and not just any leaders, but the big ones!"

Zhou Huixin had worked at the City Bureau for many years, knowing Director Yu since long ago, being both old colleagues and friends.

Who would have thought, the once rely stamp-wielding head of the Water Police Station, would ride a streak of good fortune ever since eting Salted Fish’s master—transferred to the Provincial Departnt to beco Deputy Chief, then tasked with the important responsibility of managing the security of the canal, and now stepping into the role of a Vice Director level leader.

Seeing Salted Fish not treating leaders like leaders, even joking with them, Zhou Huixin couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Director Yu, Salted Fish is right, you are an important leader, so we must keep good company."

"What important leader, co on, it’s your turn to play a card."

"Alright, a pair of sixes."

"Director Yu, Director Zhang, how long are you staying this trip, will you be free tomorrow?" He Bin lifted his head to ask.

Director Yu replied without a second thought, "I’m heading back early tomorrow morning, lots of work at my office, can’t stay away too long."

He Bin persisted, "What about you, Director Zhang?"

"I’m going back too."

"So soon? Not going to visit your old office?"

"Next ti, I’ll definitely visit when I have the ti." Zhang Junyan played his card and smiled, "And welco to visit us in Jiangcheng whenever you get the chance."

Han Yu asked, "Director Yu, how are you traveling tomorrow?"

"I have a car, my driver is resting downstairs."

"And you, Director Zhang?"

"I’m taking the express ferry at Binjiang, it’s just a four-hour trip to Jiangcheng, pretty fast." Zhang Junyan shuffled his cards, then looked up with a smile and asked, "Are you offering to see us off?"

Han Yu replied with an air of resignation, "I was planning to, but I just don’t have the ti. Xiao Yu will be free tomorrow, he and Yu Zhen will see you off."

Director Yu inquired, "That busy?"

"Extrely busy."

"Busy with what?"

Han Yu was pondering how to explain, when Political Commissioner Wang couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Director Yu, back in the day you initiated several major operations. Now Salted Fish is also a director, naturally, he has to spearhead so big operations as well."

Director Yu pressed on, "What kind of big operations?"

"The special operation against illegal sand mining."

"Illegal sand mining, that’s not an easy fight."

"Salted Fish, you are the one leading the operation, report to Director Yu and Director Zhang."

"Alright."

Han Yu pulled out a chair, sat down, and said with a grin, "At first, I thought there were no relevant laws and regulations, and thought it would be hard to crack down on. But then Master Chen from the Linghai Water Resources Bureau told us that the national and provincial governnts have issued regulations on river managent. With regulations to back us up, there won’t be any resistance."

Yu Xiangqian asked with interest, "What are your plans for the operation?"

"Just like before, borrow a few more boats. Ask for support from Director He, Director Zhou, and Director Peng to arrange more police forces for . When the ti is ripe, swoop in on those sand miners with one fell swoop. Then, enforce stringent punishnts based on the mariti traffic regulations of Port Supervision, the Water Resources Bureau’s river managent regulations, and the river security managent regulations of the police."

Han Yu thought for a mont and added, "We either don’t strike, or if we do, we hit the sand miners hard so that they would never dare to mine sand in Binjiang ever again!"

Zhou Huixin looked up and said, "Director Yu, Director Zhang, Director He, and I initially thought that Salted Fish was just going to deal with a few sand miners. We didn’t realize he was turning it into a much bigger operation. The montum and line-up for this operation might even surpass the ’Eel Catching War’ and the river crackdown you led back in the day."

"Salted Fish, how big of a scene are you planning?"

"I’m planning for a comprehensive clean-up along the Yangtze River waterfront section. A few days ago when I went to the East Sea, Ningning actually didn’t co with . We split up to look for boats."

"Did you find any?"

"I did. Thanks to the solid foundation you, Director Zhang, and my master have laid down for , I’d have no face to keep sailing on the river if I couldn’t even borrow a few boats."

Including the North Branch Waters, the Binjiang Yangtze River coastline stretches for 226 kiloters.

To crack down on illegal sand mining, you must catch the perpetrators in the act. Without concrete evidence, even if you catch the sand miners, you can’t prosecute them.

In other words, you have to carry out operations simultaneously over the 226 kiloters stretch of water. Otherwise, as soon as you catch one here, others might flee after hearing the news.

In fact, they wouldn’t even have to flee frantically. As long as they stop mining, they could just drift on the river at the speed of one or two knots, and you wouldn’t be able to hold them accountable for illegal sand mining. You would only be able to assist Port Supervision in penalizing them for potential mariti violations.

Carrying out operations simultaneously over such a long stretch of water, how many law enforcent vessels would that require...

Zhang Junyan pondered for a mont and said, "With Director He, Director Zhou, and Director Peng backing you, there should be no problem with police forces. The problem now is the boats. Do you have enough boats?"

"I should have enough."

"That doesn’t sound too confident."

"If it’s for operational needs, naturally, the more boats the better. But Ningning and I have already borrowed all available boats. I’m not exaggerating when I say that even with city leaders stepping in, we couldn’t find any more boats."

His master had once gathered all the deployable law enforcent vessels in Jiangcheng to conduct an operation. The city leaders could only stand on the shore anxiously, which successfully earned Director Yu the de facto title of Water Police Station Chief. And now, it was his turn.

Zhang Junyan felt that he should do sothing. After weighing his options, he casually said, "Salted Fish, our division’s patrol boats have long needed major repairs, but the quotes from the shipyards in Jiangcheng are one higher than the other. You’re the expert in this area, help

check if there are any suitable shipbuilding and repair yards in Binjiang."

Han Yu chuckled and said, "Doesn’t that seem a bit too much trouble?"

"Ningning helped Director He secure several million yuan, so Director He is flush with cash. I’m strapped for money and can’t compete with him, so wherever is cheaper, that’s where I’ll take the patrol boat for repairs. Every penny saved is a penny earned."

"Alright, I’ll ask around."

Before Han Yu could finish speaking, Yu Xiangqian said lightly, "Old Zhang, those two law enforcent boats of the Jiangcheng Water Police Division also seem due for maintenance. They can’t just use the boats without caring for their upkeep. When you go back, help them inquire. If they also want repairs, we can totally negotiate as a group."

Zhang Junyan nodded, "That’s true. Getting three patrol boats repaired together, interested shipyards in Binjiang should be able to offer greater discounts."

It seems that these two really saw Salted Fish as a junior, even coming up with the idea of going to Binjiang to find a shipyard for repairing their law enforcent boats.

Zhou Huixin was secretly envious that Salted Fish had such big and reliable supporters as Yu Xiangqian sighed, "It’s a pity that the Canal Police Departnt has been incorporated into the Huaiyin Police Bureau. I no longer work in Huaiyin, otherwise, this would have been a good opportunity to send so of the Canal Police Departnt’s law enforcent boats for repair."

The two senior officers were so supportive.

Han Yu was truly grateful and quickly said, "That’s enough, Director Yu. If we get any more, the shipyard can’t handle all the repairs."

Director Peng from the Water Police couldn’t miss the implication in Yu Xiangqian’s and Zhang Junyan’s words and smiled, "Director Zhou, it looks like we need to hurry and revise the report. Otherwise, going to report to Director Chen tomorrow, it wouldn’t be good to have omissions."

For such a large operation, we must report to the City Bureau for instructions.

I can even imagine that once Director Chen understands the situation, he will definitely report imdiately to the City Committee and Municipal Governnt.

Zhou Huixin had already arranged to go to the City Bureau with Director Peng the next day, and couldn’t help laughing, "We need to revise the report not just for the City Bureau, but also to notify the Water Resources Bureau."
