Chapter 782: Chapter 530 Future Prospects_2
"They are the couple with the most pressure when it cos to loan repaynt because, as he just ntioned, his parents and in-laws couldn’t help, they could only rely on his and Zhang Lan’s ager salaries."
Han Yu felt genuinely anxious for him and pondered, "I’ll go ho later and ask Ningning to see if she can help you make ends et. If Ningning can’t help either, we’d have to call Xiao Yu."
"When the down paynt was borrowed, I haven’t even repaid it yet, how can I have the face to ask Xiao Yu again? Besides, their money doesn’t just fall from the sky."
"What should we do then?"
"How’s the contact for the shipping job going? We already agreed on this, you can’t back out now."
"The financial crisis in Southeast Asia this year directly affects international shipping, it’s not as easy to get on a ship as before. Plus, you’re not the sa as I am, your newly acquired certificate hasn’t even been unsealed; you can’t even qualify as a new sailor, you’d have to start as an intern. The internship pay isn’t high, even if you could get on a ship, it won’t solve the imdiate needs."
"It’s necessary to intern no matter what, better to start earlier than later."
"I’ll speak to President Zhang, ask him to help figure sothing out. Getting on a ship shouldn’t be a big problem. But with such a big decision, shouldn’t you consult with Sister Zhang Lan first?"
"Did you discuss it with Ningning?"
"Not yet."
Seeing his senior brother full of hope, Han Yu grimaced and said, "Don’t look at
like that; I’m not backing out. But running a ship isn’t like other jobs. I can resign with you right now, but we might not end up on the sa ship; after all, not every ship needs a chief officer."
Xu Mingyuan was truly anxious, chain-smoking several cigarettes in a row, hesitating to speak.
Han Yu could understand his feelings at the mont and quickly said, "Don’t worry, there’s always a way; the master’s wife just asked Sister Zhang Lan a few days ago if she had money for loan repaynt."
"That’s her retirent money; I would rather die than borrow from the master’s wife."
"Why don’t you co over tonight and help my brother-in-law with so odd jobs?"
"I don’t have the ti; do you know how many unresolved cases the Criminal Investigation Team has piled up?"
It is said that real n don’t easily shed tears, but that’s only until they face real sorrow.
The more Xu Mingyuan thought, the sadder he felt; tears swirled in his eyes as he looked down and said, "Recently, quite a few people ca to the departnt trying to sell insurance, many colleagues bought it for their kids, only my family didn’t get insurance for Yuanyuan. It’s all because of buying this comrcial house, even Yuanyuan has to suffer."
"Sister Zhang Lan bought the house for Yuanyuan too."
"I know, but she doesn’t think about whether we have the ans or not."
"Does discussing this now make any difference? As for the insurance, Ningning and I also didn’t get it for Han Han."
"I’m not talking about buying or not buying insurance, I’m talking about this situation!"
"So, you’re determined to go to sea?"
"If I don’t go to sea, we can’t get through these days."
"What about your position at the departnt?"
"I’ll submit my resignation letter; in fact, I’ve already written it, just waiting for any confirmation from your side before submitting."
"Big brother, you’ve worked so hard to beco the Criminal Investigation Captain, isn’t it a pity to resign just like that?"
"I can’t care about that anymore; I can’t just sit and watch them mother and child suffer."
...
Big brother has decided to resign, Han Yu had no choice but to call the master’s wife.
The master’s wife firmly disagreed, she withdrew more than ten thousand yuan saved over the years from the bank and the next morning she sent it over to Zhang Lan.
That’s when Zhang Lan found out Xu Mingyuan was actually considering resigning to work on ships, he had even gotten his Seaman’s Certificate behind her back; she closed her office door and burst into tears in the master’s wife’s arms.
The second senior brother also learned about this and imdiately called Xu Mingyuan, planning to withdraw his savings and lend it to him for loan repaynt, even Deputy Director Wu Ren Guang, who oversees criminal investigation, was ready to lend him money for turnover.
So many people didn’t want to see him resign just after becoming a captain, Xu Mingyuan had no choice but to put aside the thought of resigning for now.
Exhausted, Han Yu returned to Bailong Port, had dinner, took a shower, and then lay in bed.
This whole matter had greatly impacted him, but even more so on Han Xiangning, who cuddled up to him and asked softly, "San’er, do you also regret buying the house like the big brother?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Really."
"But have you thought about resigning to run ships like the big brother?"
So things can’t be hidden.
After a mont of silence, Han Yu honestly said, "I’ve thought about it."
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been so impulsive; I should have discussed it properly with you then."
After knowing each other for so many years, senior sister has never been as gentle as today.
Han Yu felt a bit unaccustod, stroking her back, and reluctantly said: "That house is indeed very good, I like it too, and after all, it’s for Han Han, what does it matter if we suffer a little."
"You’re right to think this way, as long as Han Han has a good future, a bit of hardship really isn’t much." Han Xiangning was pleased that senior brother could realize this, felt like rewarding him, and couldn’t help starting to undress her thermal shirt and underclothes.
Han Yu was stunned, and asked subconsciously: "What are you doing..."
"What do you think I’m doing, aren’t you my husband?"
"I’m a bit tired today."
"I know, just lie down and don’t move, I’ll take care of it."
"The Master’s wife and Director Ge are next door."
"Let’s keep our voices down." Han Xiangning giggled, helping him to take off his thermal shirt.
...
Before, he used to want to stick with senior sister all the ti, not wanting to get up in the morning or go to work.
Since the birth of Han Han, especially after buying the apartnt, he didn’t know if it was the pressure, but he even started dreading intimacy.
Senior sister was forceful, and Han Yu could only cooperate.
After a storm, holding the dripping wet senior sister, Han Yu was wondering if the sound was too loud, whether the Master’s wife and Director Ge had heard, when senior sister suddenly looked up and asked, "Do you still want to quit your job and go to sea?"
Han Yu hesitated for a mont and asked, "Would you let
go?"
"No!"
Han Xiangning bit his shoulder, tearing up, "I waited for you on shore for over four years, and beca an old maid before marrying you. Do you know how painful it was to wait and miss you? I don’t want to be separated again, and I don’t want to face nights dreaming of when you’ll co back like before."
In those years when Han Yu was learning to operate ships at the Marine Bureau, he also missed junior sister day and night. After a mont of silence, he said: "But if I don’t go to sea, our whole family will have to live a hard life."
"Could it be worse than what your parents and mine went through in their youth? Could our current stress be more than what your parents and mine faced back then?"
Han Xiangning asked two rhetorical questions in a row, then sat up, wrapped in the blanket, and chuckled, "San’er, we’re really tight on cash now, but difficulties are only temporary. In more than ten days, it’ll be 1998, Tang Wentai said yesterday that the finance bureau in the developnt zone is calculating the bonuses and sales commissions for officials, and your bonus this year won’t be small."
"How much could it be?"
"No less than ten thousand for committee officials."
"That much!"
"It’s not much compared to officials in several other developnt zones across the river."
Afraid that junior brother would catch a cold, Han Xiangning lay on him again, covering him with a blanket while giggling, "Our bureau also has bonuses, Sister Zhu said our Linghai Port Supervision Office did well this year, the bureau is also calculating it, and it will be distributed once approved."
People live in reality, days without money are truly difficult.
Han Yu asked eagerly, "How much will you get?"
Han Xiangning smiled, "The bonus for officials will be no less than ten thousand, and it’s certain for our staff in the Linghai Port Supervision Office to get four thousand eight hundred each this year."
That bonus is more than the total annual salary.
Han Yu couldn’t believe this was real and asked without thinking, "What about the Changzhou Port Supervision Office?"
"They earn less legally than us, so naturally their bonuses are less. Their staff are getting only three thousand one hundred this year in bonuses and subsidies."
"So, if we both could get ten thousand yuan bonus this year, and the sa next year, just our two bonuses would be enough to pay the mortgage!"
"That’s why you don’t need to quit your job and go to sea."
Han Xiangning burrowed into the blankets, calculating expenses.
How much mom and dad could save this year, how much rent the East Sea house could generate, after deductible bank loan repaynts, how much they could give back to Yu Zhen...
Listening to junior sister calculating this way, Han Yu suddenly realized the pressure was there, but not as unbearable as he had imagined. As long as he worked hard at the developnt zone and saved a bit, the loan could be paid off in less than twenty years.
The future is promising.
Who would prefer living separately, when he could be with junior sister?
The more Han Yu thought about it, the more excited he beca, hugging junior sister and laughing, "Then I won’t resign, actually, I couldn’t resign to go to sea anyhow, there are so many issues on the river, who would take care of them if I left?"
Han Xiangning knew he was speaking his truth, and couldn’t help but laugh, "That’s right, you are the Commander of the Binjiang Navy, this river is yours! If you abandoned the river matters, your master’s spirit in heaven would definitely not be pleased."
