Chapter 615: Chapter 435: Talent Introduction_3
All the retired cadres at the departnt level have sothing to do. Those who had been in charge of towns and townships are either assigned to help with land acquisition and demolition in the developnt zones and Linghai Port Industrial Park, or to assist with the work of the petition bureau. For us who have stepped down from the office of the bureau, we need to play to our strengths, either by engaging in attracting investnt or by helping to advance key infrastructure projects.
Retiring from the frontline is similar, but his situation is not the sa as Old Li, Old Zhang, and Old Ding.
Strictly speaking, heads of departnts in the Police Bureau aren’t considered leaders, so they still have work to do when they step down, just in a different departnt.
This person here has served as the head of the Transportation Bureau and is a full departnt level cadre; used to holding significant power, suddenly having nothing to do can be quite disappointing.
Secretary Ye finds them things to do, and Han Yu thinks it’s a good idea.
Shi Shengyong, not understanding the reasons behind it, asked curiously, "Director Ge, what did the city ask you to do?"
"I’ve served as the head of the Transportation Bureau for so years, and although I’m not familiar with the Changhang System, I have so friends in both the City Transportation Bureau and the Provincial Transportation Departnt. The city wants
to go to Sanhe to assist the soon-to-be-established managent committee of Linghai Port Industrial Park with the construction of roads and bridges in the park area."
Old Ge stole a glance at Han Yu and said with a smile, "I don’t really know how I’ll exactly assist, I’ll wait for Mayor Shen’s arrangents when the ti cos."
Han Yu clearly understood that breaking in the new role was not that simple; he strongly suspected that it was under the initiative of Chairman Li and Instructor Li in collaboration with city leaders that he proactively volunteered to participate in the port district developnt in Sanhe.
Seeing Instructor Li smile without responding, Han Yu thought that for the happiness of Master’s wife, he must lend a hand and said, "Director Ge, there’s nothing in Sanhe and it’s far from the city center. There are plenty of dormitories available at Bailong Port Passenger Pier. Why don’t you move to Bailong Port?"
Salted Fish’s Master’s wife would definitely live in Bailong Port when she returns, and if this were to happen, it would certainly be awkward for her to go back to living in the city center with so many acquaintances there.
Old Ge ca with the mindset of the early bird catching the worm and smiled, "Are there vacant dorms?"
"There are, a dozen or so."
"That’s great, rent one to ; I’ll pay rent."
"No need for rent, my brother-in-law calls the shots here, I’ll have him arrange it in a while."
Li Weiguo was very pleased and asked as if nothing was amiss, "Salted Fish, I heard your Master’s wife is coming back to participate in the retirent ceremony of Old Zhang and Old Ding. What date is her train ticket for, and approximately what ti will she arrive ho?"
Han Yu hurriedly said, "She left today and will arrive in Jiangcheng tomorrow afternoon. Brother Haoran and Sister-in-law Xiao Qin are also back, and they plan to stay one night in Jiangcheng. They’ll take an express bus back to Linghai the day after tomorrow morning and should arrive at Linghai Bus Station around four or five in the afternoon."
"So, you’re planning to go pick her up at the bus station the day after tomorrow?"
"I’d like to pick her up, but I have a pile of things to deal with here. I really can’t get away."
Li Weiguo could clearly hear the subtext in Han Yu’s words, and turned with a smile, "Old Ge, we are not as busy as Salted Fish, why don’t we go to the bus station the day after tomorrow afternoon to help Salted Fish pick them up?"
"Sure, my nephew drives a taxi, we have a car!"
Old Ge was sincerely grateful to Han Yu, and laughed, "They’re coming back from so far away, the train ride alone takes a whole day and night, they must be exhausted. We should go to the bus station early and definitely can’t make them wait there."
It seems that Old Ge did have a thing for Master’s wife, and with amusent, Han Yu asked, "What about dinner?"
Old Ge made a grand gesture, "Dinner’s on , at Bailong Port Restaurant. We’ll invite your mother and Ningning over too."
Faced with Old Ge’s enthusiastic offers, Han Yu sohow felt like a prospective in-law.
No, more like a relative of the prospective groom.
While he found it funny, Li Weiguo stroked his chin and said, "Director Ge, you two families have been friends for so many years, it’s a rare gathering; invite your son and his wife as well."
"Okay, I’ll go and book a large private room at Bailong Port Restaurant right away!"
Watching Old Ge beaming with joy, Shi Shengyong found it strange and couldn’t understand why he was being so generous.
