The junior is back, and in a few days, he’s going to travel far away again.
No matter how busy Han Xiangning is, she makes sure to leave work on ti and return ho. But rushing back ho, she finds the Changhang Bureau so close yet the junior hasn’t co.
A phone call reveals that the Changhang Bureau is having a farewell for Political Commissioner Jiang and Director Gu who are retiring.
When Han Yu picks up the call, Director Qi and Political Commissar Dong are right beside him, and Director Qi asks Han Xiangning to co over.
If it were before, Han Xiangning would definitely ride her light motorcycle to the Changhang Bureau for a al. But it’s not like before; after taking on her position, she’s attended too many functions, and she’s honestly tired of eating out.
Ho alone, she’s too lazy to cook, so she digs out so snacks left by Little Han Han before going to the East Sea, eats a little bit, and lazily lies on the sofa to watch TV.
After attending the farewell banquet, Han Yu quickly rides his bicycle ho.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder; the parents-in-law and Little Han Han have gone to the East Sea, leaving the couple to enjoy a true "world of two"!
In the past, wanting to be intimate felt like being a thief.
Now, there’s nothing to worry about. With curtains drawn, they don’t even need to go to the bedroom.
Han Xiangning lies on the sofa, holds his neck tightly, and as she reminisces about the earlier passion, weakly asks, "What date are you leaving?"
"The 8th."
"Where will the eting point be?"
"First, I’ll fly to Guangzhou. Chief of Staff Wu is waiting for there, and then we’ll go to Zhanjiang together."
"To Zhanjiang?" Han Xiangning asks as she sits up.
Han Yu strokes her fair and delicate back, smiling as he explains, "The South Sea Fleet has a base in Zhanjiang. We’ll board the ship there, and the visiting fleet will also depart from Zhanjiang."
Han Xiangning says wistfully, "You’ve been learning in Hanwu for a month and a half, and barely a few days back, you’re off on another business trip, gone for two months. Always not ho, yet you dare to complain about my post, complain about not being at ho!"
"I haven’t, when have I complained about you?"
"You know what you do yourself." Han Xiangning glares at him, curiously asking, "Did Chen Zikun go to Guzhou to take up his post?"
"He’s taking up a post at the Guzhou Branch, which is by the river, not in Guzhou City itself, just crossing the river."
"As deputy director?"
"Yes, tonight we’re welcoming Li Guangrong and seeing off Political Commissioner Jiang and Director Gu. They’re welcoming him tonight too, seeing off old comrades retiring and transferring. He made a call to us tonight, said he attended an afternoon party committee eting, and he’ll be in charge of the Police Team and the Water Fire Rescue Team, and liaise with Shuzhou Police Station."
"How about you?"
"I’m quite similar, overseeing the Criminal Investigation Team and the Water Fire Rescue Team, liaising with the Linghai Police Station."
"You two will have the river between you in the future?"
"Now that he’s moved, we’re actually closer than before, hahaha."
"With Chen Zikun’s promotion, who will be the Linghai Police Station Chief?"
"For now, Zhang Ping is temporarily in charge of the station’s work. The decision on who will take over will have to wait."
"Why wait?" Han Xiangning asks.
Han Yu explains, "Director Li has just taken office, and he’s unfamiliar with the situation of middle-level cadres in the bureau. They’re currently studying the personnel changes for mid-level cadres, how can Director Li make a stance?"
Han Xiangning catches on, smiles, and asks, "Does Xiao Yu have a chance?"
"What a joke, even dreaming it wouldn’t happen!"
"But why did Director Qi and Political Commissioner Jiang send him to Hanwu for study, plus the Changhang Police Bureau leadership really likes him."
"Liking him and utilizing him are not the sa thing. As for sending him to Hanwu for study, they primarily considered how he persisted in Bailong Port for so long, that’s like giving him a tour to Hanwu."
Just then, the phone rings.
Upon seeing the caller ID, it turns out it’s Luo Wenjiang calling.
Right when he’s being affectionate with his senior, why call now...
Han Yu inwardly grumbles but still crawls up naked and picks up the landline phone beside the sofa.
"Director Han, congratulations on your promotion! Director Zhao, Old Ma, and I are at the branch. Are you busy tonight? Let’s have so supper to properly celebrate this."
"What’s worth celebrating? Your good intentions are noted."
"Not giving face?"
"I’ve already gone to bed and just had dinner."
"Sleeping already? It’s so hot out, not going for a stroll?"
"I’m a little tired."
Luo Wenjiang shares a glance with Ma Jintao, and with a mischievous smile, asks, "Old leader, is Mayor Han there?"
Han Yu looks at the senior, who’s using a cushion to cover her private parts subconsciously, and quickly changes the topic, "Director Luo, even if you didn’t call , I’d contact you about business attraction progress. Is there hope for closure before year’s end on compensating for your dad?"
"Is Mayor Han beside you?"
"Isn’t it obvious? She’s my wife, of course we’re together."
"I understand, I’m wrong, I shouldn’t have called. Old leader, I’ll hang up first, you continue."
"Continue what!" Han Yu playfully scolds, holding the fiercely glaring senior, pretending to be displeased, "Luo Wenjiang, I warn you, the father-debt repaynt work must be swiftly settled, or I’ll seriously cut ties with you as friends!"
"Old leader, this matter is constantly on my mind, I’m inquiring daily. I was just preparing to report to Mayor Han, but today isn’t suitable. You guys are newly reunited after a ti apart, I shouldn’t disturb you."
"Stop the nonsense, no changing topics."
"Alright, then please let Mayor Han answer the phone."
"Alright."
Han Xiangning had no other choice, so she extended her lotus-like arm, took the phone, and asked, "Director Luo, what’s up?"
Luo Wenjiang grinned and said, "Sister-in-law, please don’t make fun of . I’m just a deputy director."
"My Salted Fish is also a deputy."
"Can I compare to your Han Bureau? Although he’s also a deputy director, he’s a Deputy Departnt Level leader. And you’re even more impressive, not only a Deputy Departnt Level leader but also a City Committee mber, a Deputy Mayor! Having an old leader like Han Bureau and a sister-in-law like you, I’m very proud!"
"Your father is still a Standard Departnt Level leader, too. You should be proud to have a father like Director Luo."
"Sister-in-law, you’re slapping in the face. How could I be proud of him as my dad? He behaves unethically, even digging at your foundation and snatching your projects. He’s a disgrace to our Luo family, truly makes , his son, feel ashad."
Han Xiangning was amused and chuckled, "Wenjiang, your dad is indeed a bit... a bit disrespectful in his old age, but we can say that, you can’t badmouth your dad like this."
Luo Wenjiang pretended to be earnest and said, "If he can act, why can’t I say sothing? Sister-in-law, my mom and I have criticized him together, and he realizes his mistakes. He wants to host a dinner to apologize to you and congratulate Han Bureau on his promotion. You have a forgiving heart, please don’t hold it against him.
Han Bureau is not just my old leader, but also my ntor. You’re my master’s wife! Could you give so face and find a day to gather, you set the ti, how about it?"
"I won’t starve anywhere, so let’s skip the al."
"So does this an you’ve forgiven him?"
"He snatched two major projects from , how could I forgive him!"
"Okay, I understand."
Luo Wenjiang shifted gears, "Sister-in-law, my dad truly understands his mistake and feels very sorry for you. He said their developnt zone will have an economic and trade fair in Guangzhou in a few days, and if you’re interested, he’ll save you half of the exhibit space. The round-trip travel expenses, including those for hosting the fair, you won’t have to pay a penny; the developnt zone will cover it all."
Although that old guy Luo Hongxin behaves unethically, he indeed has a knack for attracting investnts.
As the de facto person in charge of a national-level developnt zone, over the years he’s run around everywhere attracting investnt and has built a good network externally.
Moreover, depending on Luo Wenjiang to help attract investnt is unrealistic. The previous words were just joking.
Going to Guangzhou together to attract investnt without the Bridge Industrial Park spending money, and recalling that the junior will also go to Guangzhou in a few days, Han Xiangning suddenly beca interested and laughed, "When is your dad planning to host this economic and trade fair in Guangzhou?"
"The people from the developnt zone’s Investnt Promotion Bureau are already there, preparing. My dad plans to fly on the 7th, and the fair will open on the 8th." Afraid that Mayor Han might not be satisfied, Luo Wenjiang added, "He said he invited over a hundred businessn, and among them, there are over a dozen wealthy Hong Kong businessn."
To play your own ga on soone else’s chessboard, of course, Han Xiangning didn’t want to miss this, so she couldn’t help laughing, "Your dad’s developnt zone has an Investnt Promotion Bureau, we at the Bridge Industrial Park have an Investnt Office, since it’s attracting investnt, I can’t go alone."
"My dad said you could lead a team, all expenses will be covered by their developnt zone."
"I will have to at least take ten people."
"No problem."
"Then it’s settled, tomorrow morning I’ll send you the list of people and ID numbers, have your dad help us book flights and hotels."
Having a troubleso father, Luo Wenjiang was quite worried.
Finally, having settled things with the forr leader, he didn’t want to be a ssenger again, after all, he has his own work.
"Sister-in-law, since it’s for attracting investnt, when you go over, you can’t just talk idly. My dad really reserved half of the exhibit space for you, so you should arrange things in advance."
"Makes sense."
Seizing the opportunity, Luo Wenjiang said, "How about this, I’ll call my dad now, and in fact, I’ve talked to him about it earlier. Later, soone from their developnt zone’s Investnt Promotion Bureau will contact you and report on the preparations for the trade fair so that you can arrange for your park’s Managent Committee colleagues to prepare in advance."
Whatever you do, it should be on equal terms!
Han Xiangning felt that it’s necessary to put on a show when needed and contemplated, "There’s no need for such trouble, I’ll give you the phone number of Director Yang from our park’s Investnt Office, have the colleague from Binjiang Developnt Zone’s Investnt Bureau contact Director Yang."
"Alright!"
...
Just as Han Xiangning hung up, Han Yu said joyfully, "Ningning, I can leave a day earlier, let’s go to Guangzhou together on the 7th."
"I was thinking the sa." Han Xiangning snuggled beside him, giggling, "Didn’t expect Old Luo to be so generous, even coming up with this way to compensate for my loss."
"Generous, my foot. Think about it, he snatched two major projects from you, and what a bargain he got. Covering so travel expenses for you, compared to what he gained from snatching, is just a drop in the bucket!"
"That’s true."
"Moreover, those businessn attending the trade fair are surely ones their developnt zone had contacted beforehand, who knows how many tis they’ve t before. Taking you there for investnt attraction, he’s not worried you’ll steal his foundation."
Realizing this, Han Xiangning said bitterly, "This ti he snatched two big fish from and casually tossed a couple of sweet dates!"
Han Yu sympathized with the senior sister’s situation and said with a wry smile, "Maybe they’re not even sweet dates. Only securing business through this opportunity would count as a sweet date."
"He’s certain I can’t steal his foundation; I dare defy this certainty, I’ll show him what it ans to bring a wolf into the fold!"
"How do you plan to snatch his stake?"
"Step aside, I’m calling Uncle Ge to invite him to join in attracting investnts!"
To deal with an old fox, only other old foxes should be summoned.
No matter how cunning the senior sister is, even ten of her can’t outsmart Old Luo, but even ten of Old Luo might not outdo one Old Ge.
Besides, Old Ge’s abilities are all-encompassing!
Old Ge, who could help Linghai obtain several million in road construction funds from the Ministry of Transport, could equally assist in attracting business for the senior sister.
The thought of inviting Uncle Ge made Han Yu laugh uncontrollably, "Getting Uncle Ge involved is good too; Uncle Ge alone is worth two!"
Han Xiangning giggled, "Isn’t Luo Hongxin wealthy? Tomorrow, when we report the list of people for investnt attraction, include Master’s wife and Little Siqi’s nas. It’s best if we attract business, but even if we don’t, we can treat it as taking Master’s wife and Little Siqi on a public-funded trip to Guangzhou, and we can also visit Senior Brother and Sister Zhang Lan in Shenzhen."
"You need a pass to enter the special zone and it must be arranged in advance."
"I know, I’ll call the Police Bureau first thing in the morning."
