Chapter 618: Chapter 437: Linghai’s Pride
Han Yu returned to Bailong Port to get his notes from last year’s transfer operation and hurried to the City Committee courtyard. Secretary Ye’s assistant, Xiao Liu, was waiting in the hall.
"Captain Han, the personnel from the Provincial Military District are in the Standing Committee eting room; Secretary Ye and Minister Yang are accompanying them."
"Which floor is the Standing Committee eting room on?"
"Third floor, I’ll take you there."
"Okay, thank you."
In Secretary Liu’s view, Han Yu is highly regarded by Secretary Ye and Deputy Mayor Shen, and has been involved in almost everything related to the Linghai Port construction project recently.
Today was even more extraordinary; the people from the Provincial Military District had actually co all the way to the City Committee.
While leading Han Yu upstairs under the astonished gazes of the staff at the City Committee, Secretary Liu casually ntioned, "A Director Liu from the Provincial Military District is here, accompanied personally by Deputy Political Commissioner Jiang of the Binjiang Military District. The four people who ca with Director Liu do not look like military personnel; Director Liu and Deputy Political Commissioner Jiang did not introduce them, so I’m not sure which units they belong to."
Truly the chief secretary of the City Committee, she knows how to handle things well, quickly briefing Han Yu to avoid any awkwardness in addressing them later.
Han Yu hurriedly extended his thanks.
Following Secretary Liu to a small conference room on the third floor, Han Yu called out "reporting" at the door.
Secretary Ye stood up with a smile and personally helped with the introductions. It turned out that Director Liu of the Provincial Military District, who had co accompanying four naval architects, eagerly approached and warmly shook hands with Han Yu, saying, "I’ve long heard of your great reputation."
During the wait for Han Yu, Minister Yang, through an old comrade from the Ard Forces Departnt, had learned about Han Yu’s situation, and just now, he also heard from Secretary Ye that Han Yu had been awarded a First-level rit by General Politics.
If soone is an active-duty soldier and has received recognition for valor in the military, even a third-level rit would prompt the local Ard Forces Departnt to notify the soldier’s hotown with loud celebration, let alone being awarded a First-level rit by General Politics.
Finally eting the man himself.
Minister Yang was delighted, and with a smile, he firmly shook Han Yu’s hand and said, "Comrade Han Yu, I heard that previously you were part of the transportation sector; otherwise, a grand feat such as your First-level rit would not have been unknown to our Ard Forces Departnt. Congratulations, hearty congratulations! We all have much to learn from you."
It’s quite sothing when the Minister of the Ard Forces Departnt, a mber of the permanent committee, claims that they have much to learn from oneself...
Han Yu was taken aback, unsure how to respond when Director Liu of the Provincial Military District laughingly added, "Secretary Ye, Minister Yang, it’s not just you who were unaware of Comrade Han Yu’s First-level rit; even we at the Provincial Military District didn’t know about it before."
Deputy Political Commissioner Jiang from the Binjiang Military District, also accompanying Director Liu and the engineers, chuckled and added, "Our Military District was also unaware, and we only found out after making a call to Commander Wang and Political Commissioner Chen, who were both taken by surprise."
It doesn’t matter where or when that First-level rit was obtained; what matters is that Salted Fish is now an official in Linghai!
Since Secretary Ye holds the dual roles of secretary of Linghai and first secretary of the Linghai Ard Forces Departnt.
Having a subordinate who is a recipient of a First-level rit gives Secretary Ye great joy and prestige, as he patted Han Yu on the shoulder and laughed, saying, "It’s not too late to know now. Xiao Han, you are not only a recipient of the First-level rit recognized by General Politics but also the pride of Linghai!"
"Secretary Ye, I..."
"What’s there to be embarrassed about? You truly deserve it. It’s just a pity that many of your deeds must remain confidential, otherwise the city could organize several deeds report conferences, put a big red flower on you, and have you take the stage to talk about them properly."
Secretary Ye glanced at his watch and then, with a smile, turned around and said, "Director Liu, Deputy Political Commissioner Jiang, I have brought Xiao Han to you, but I have another eting soon and can only ask Minister Yang to keep you company."
"That’s alright, you go ahead."
"Thank you, Secretary Ye, we appreciate your trouble."
"It’s no trouble at all; no need to thank . Being able to contribute to national defense construction is an honor for our Linghai City Committee and City Governnt."
Secretary Ye shook hands with everyone, left with Secretary Liu.
Director Liu of the Provincial Military District watched Secretary Ye leave and then turned back with a smile, "Comrade Han Yu, as Secretary Ye said, many of your deeds have to be kept confidential. The matters the engineers will be consulting with you about next also require confidentiality. Deputy Political Commissioner Jiang and I will wait downstairs, and you guys can talk."
"Understood!"
"Minister Yang, shall we step out?"
Minister Yang, montarily startled, quickly smiled and said, "Of course, Director Liu, Deputy Political Commissioner Jiang, this way, please."
The location of the eting was specifically chosen to be in the Standing Committee eting room to maintain confidentiality.
After seeing off the three leaders, Han Yu quickly closed the door, took out his notebook from his bag.
The four senior engineers from the East Sea were thrilled, taking out a roll of preliminary sketches they had brought in a drawing tube. Referring to the data provided by Han Yu, they began their research item by item.
New to shipbuilding design, it’s not embarrassing to ask when you don’t know.
Han Yu answered every question.
This was about designing large specialized ships, not sothing else.
The five of them discussed from 1:30 in the afternoon until evening, only leaving a few tis to use the restroom.
Seeing that they were planning to work through the night, Minister Yang quickly asked the staff of the City Committee Office to bring dinner, making sure everything was arranged before accompanying Director Liu and Deputy Political Commissioner Jiang to have dinner at the Linghai Hotel.
After dinner, calling to check in, the senior engineers and Han Yu ntioned they needed to work overti late into the night. Minister Yang could only arrange for the two leaders to rest first, then asked Chief of Staff Liu, who was well acquainted with Han Yu, to prepare so supper for the Standing Committee eting room...
Compared to cities like Dacang, Shuzhou, and Zhangjia Port across the river, Linghai was significantly behind in economic developnt!
As the top leader of Linghai, Secretary Ye believed in seizing every minute to catch up; therefore, there was no concept of a weekend rest, with him arriving at the office early the next morning.
