Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1193 - 55: They’ve Come Knocking!

The matter on Wujiang's side was just a small episode. Han Yu had his own duties. After making a few phone calls, he dove back into the intense training work.

Meanwhile, the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau, jointly managed by the Ministry of Police and Customs, had been established, but Jiangnan Province Hall was yet to make any moves. Guo Weitao and Xiao Gong were both eagerly anticipating it, as were Jiang Shengqi and others who were about to officially transfer to the soon-to-be-established Jiangnan Province Police Department Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau Binjiang Branch.

The dozen or so retired fighters who had already joined Customs, although unable to become formal officers, were equally filled with anticipation for the new unit.

Han Yu understood everyone's feelings and called Director Zhou again to inquire about the progress.

Director Zhou's reply was both laughable and pitiful; because Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureaus were to be established everywhere to demonstrate the importance of this new unit, leaders from the General Administration of Customs and the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau were all required to attend the inauguration. Leaders from the public security systems across provinces and cities also needed to place great importance and attend the inauguration ceremonies as well.

The leaders of the General Administration of Customs and the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau were very busy, and the top officials from the public security systems across provinces and cities were equally occupied. It was difficult to set a date for the inauguration ceremony, making it impossible for the Jiangnan Province Police Department Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau to be established before the Spring Festival.

Without the parent company being established, the subsidiary was even more unlikely to be set up.

As a result, Han Yu remained a Full Department Level cadre in Linghai and continued to receive a Linghai salary while working for Customs.

The time for distributing salaries and year-end bonuses had come again!

A new year requires a new atmosphere. Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, following the superior's instructions, reformed the way salaries and bonuses were distributed, issuing all cadres a bank card to deposit their salaries and bonuses, only handing out payslips.

Some said this method was more convenient.

Others said it was more troublesome.

Last night's dinner conversation had mother-in-law remarking that the old cadres at the retirement center had strong opinions; they were accustomed to administrators delivering cash to them each month, tallying it face-to-face against their payslips, and they were strongly opposed to receiving salaries via bank transfer.

Han Yu also found it inconvenient because salaries and bonuses could hardly stay on the card. He had to go to the bank to withdraw the money and hand it over to his senior classmate so she could deposit it in the Industrial and Commercial Bank to pay the mortgage, which meant an extra trip and was quite troublesome.

However, coming to the Development Zone Management Committee this trip was not in vain; as the Political and Legal Committee Secretary and Military Minister of the Development Zone, he could enjoy the Spring Festival benefits of the Development Zone.

Although this year's bonus was not as much as last year's, this year's New Year goods were more abundant than last year's.

He packed two large woven bags, happily tying them to his little light motorcycle to head home. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

To his surprise, upon arriving home, he saw that his father-in-law had also returned with New Year goods, and his haul seemed even more than that issued by the Development Zone Management Committee.

"Dad, your weather station is doing well this year, issuing so much!"

"These aren't from the weather station; they are from the Linghai Reserve Camp."

"The Linghai Reserve Camp issues New Year goods too?" Han Yu found it rather unbelievable.

Master Han opened up the just-issued candies for Little Han Han, smiling as he explained, "It's the end of the year, the city came to offer condolences, the Management Committee came to offer condolences, and many collaborative units came to offer condolences, sending lots of care packages to the camp. There aren't many active officers in the camp, so President Hao and Yang Jianbo distributed the care packages as New Year goods to us."

"Did Mengmeng and Xiao Jun get some too?"

"Yes, but not as much as me. Our expert group got the most."

"Did Master Xi get New Year goods too?"

"Yes, Yang Jianbo specifically crossed the river to deliver them yesterday."

Han Yu couldn't help but ask with a laugh, "Did I get any?"

Master Han, barely holding back a smile, said, "You're no longer part of the Linghai Reserve Camp, how could you get any?"

"That's what they call 'out of sight, out of mind'!"

"Just teasing you, I helped pick up your share."

"Where is it?"

"Sent back to Si Gang." The practice of gifting units' New Year goods to the elderly as year-end gifts has been a tradition for many years. Master Han explained, "It's nearly the New Year, the Hailuo Cement site has stopped work. The workers at Liangzhuang Construction Station are going home for the New Year, and a few of the workers are from our Dinghu village, so I asked them to take them back."

"Brother Hao and Yang Jianbo still have some conscience; if they hadn't issued it, there really would be nothing we could do about them."

Han Yu felt a sense of joy in his heart, looking at the magazines on the table, he asked with another laugh, "Dad, where did this 'China's Civilian Militia' come from?"

"The camp subscribed to it for me."

"The camp specially subscribed for you?"

"Not just for me, every officer in the camp subscribed to it, one per person! Everyone gets a copy of 'China's Civilian Militia,' and a copy of 'People's Liberation Army Daily.'"

"With over two hundred people in the camp, how much does it cost to subscribe 'China's Civilian Militia' and the 'People's Liberation Army Daily' for every reserve officer?"

"It does cost a lot of money; it's apparently required by the superior. Besides, the camp has plenty of funding now; the Provincial Military District is giving money, the Reserve Division is providing funds, the city and Binjiang Reserve Group are giving money, the Linghai Municipal Committee and City Government provide 100,000 a year, the Development Zone Management Committee gives 50,000 annually, now the camp really isn't short of funds."

"The winner takes all" aptly describes the Linghai Reserve Camp.

They made a name for themselves in flood relief and gained countless honors.

Unexpectedly, the funding also followed suit; once an impoverished entity needing to "sell positions" to raise funds, now they've achieved results and money is the least of their concerns.

Han Yu couldn't help but ask, "How much money do they have now?"

"They say there's about five to six hundred thousand in the account, with more yet to come."

"Did President Hao and Yang Jianbo mention how the funds would be spent?"

"They did mention it; they plan to visit and assist a few families of veterans from the Korean War in the Development Zone who are facing difficulties. They also said they'll organize officers who are available after the New Year and when the weather warms up to visit the First Congress Venue in East Sea. If conditions allow, they also want to organize a trip to Jinggang Mountain after the New Year."
