Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 415 - 293: Raising Eyebrows and Breathing Out

Night has fallen, and the office building in front of the Bailong Port Passenger Pier is packed with cars.

Inside the canteen on the west side of the office building, the lights are bright and guests fill the seats.

Xiao Yu’s parents were initially not supportive of Xiao Yu’s transfer to Han Wu, but when they heard it was equivalent to moving from a police station to the Police Department’s police academy and that he would be teaching, with prospects for advancement in the future, the whole family was thrilled and gave unanimous support.

As for Yu Zhen, having been born and grown up on a ship and always comfortable anywhere, she was extremely happy to learn that accompanying Xiao Yu to Han Wu would secure her a formal job.

This was truly a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate!

Xiao Yu’s family, having no one in official positions for generations and even lacking a real home before meeting Xu Sanye, Li Weiguo, and Old Qian, now saw Xiao Yu becoming successful, lifting the family’s spirits.

They hadn’t really celebrated joyously before; even Xiao Yu’s engagement to Yu Zhen was a simple affair with just two tables.

After discussing it, the family decided they wanted to celebrate in style, like other families do when their children are accepted into university, to properly thank the leaders and friends who had supported them over the years.

Xiao Yu was originally brought to the Yanjiang Police Station by Li Weiguo, making Comrade Old Li and Xu Sanye great benefactors to his family.

At the Linghai Police Bureau, it was Comrade Old Li who was asked to take charge of the invites.

Li Weiguo treated Xiao Yu like his own child and was genuinely pleased with his successes, and naturally, he did not decline the task.

The day before yesterday, he cycled to the city center to personally invite the former Director of Linghai Police Bureau, now Vice Chairman Li of the Linghai Municipal People’s Political Consultative Conference, the current Director Zhou Huixin, the recently retired Commissioner Old Ding, Director Shi Shengyong of the Four Factory Police Station, Instructor Old Li from the same station, among others.

Since Xiao Yu’s family were fishermen and newcomers to Bailong Port Village, local officials from Bailong Port also needed an invite.

Old Qian and Chief Ding, being familiar faces, extended invitations on behalf of Xiao Yu’s family to Minister Lei of the Four Factory Town Military Department, as well as leaders from Four Factory Town Industrial and Commercial Office, Bailong Port Passenger Pier, Bailong Port Lock Management Office, Riverside Gas Station, Bailong Port Long-distance Bus Station, Bailong Port Health Center, Bailong Port Primary School, the village party secretary and the village head of Bailong Port Village.

Though Xiao Yu was not home, his friends also needed an invite.

Han Yu took full responsibility for this, inviting the family of Big Martial Brother (three members), Second Martial Brother (three members), Huang Jiangsheng, couple Zhang Erxiao, Xiao Jiang, Shao Lei from Bai Shen Police Team, and Guan Xiaoyu from Bai Liu Police Team.

From the Port Supervision Bureau, Sister Zhu, Jin Weiguo, and others were invited.

Xiao Yu’s in-laws not only needed invitations but also leaders from the shipping company.

Captain Wang, being both the matchmaker and a veteran of the shipping company, invited several leaders including Manager Jiang.

Leaders and colleagues from Xiao Yu’s old unit also required invitations; from Changhang Bureau came Director Liu, Director Jiang, Director Zhang, Zhang Ping, Xiao Gong, Captain Fan, and Zhu Baogen.

From Water Police Station came Political Commissioner Wang, Old Jia, Ma Jintao, and Yang Yong.

Yu Zhen also had friends, and surprisingly, Lin Xiaohui and Liu Xiaomei were invited!

Five tables were set up, serving Jian Nan Chun liquor, Zhonghua soft-pack cigarettes, canned Coke and Sprite for drinks, and dishes of the highest standard for hosting guests in the Bailong Port Region.

Including tobacco and liquor, a table’s cost couldn’t drop below four or five hundred.

Listening to the leaders chatting and laughing, looking at the table full of fine wines and dishes, Han Yu was full of emotion, thinking back to when Xiao Yu’s family was poverty-stricken five years ago.

"This is truly a rise to the skies, truly a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate!"

"Minister Lei, this can’t really be considered a rapid rise. Xiao Yu has been working for many years and has achieved a lot. It’s just that he didn’t have a permanent position before, similar to a temporary worker. If he had a post like Salted Fish, he would at least have several third-level merits and numerous commendations by now." freёnovelkiss-com

"If that’s the case, Xiao Yu’s rise isn’t a sudden one, but rather a slow accumulation leading to a big success."

"Old Qian, with Xiao Yu achieving so much, you as the grandfather are lucky."

"Yes, lucky, thanks to all the leaders’ blessings."

"Boss Liang, your business is booming more and more, your son is becoming more accomplished, and your daughter-in-law is virtuous and capable. This is the fruit of your past hardships, and you too are blessed."

"Thank you, Director Zhou, thank you Commissioner Ding, thank you all leaders."

"No need to thank us. Xiao Yu was nurtured by Xu Sanye and Old Li, and he made it on his own merit as well."

...

Shi Shengyong sitting on the side felt everything was so surreal.

Two officers from the Water Police Squadron, one just transferred to Changhang Bureau and promptly became Deputy Director, transforming into a Deputy Division Commander. Another, only a few days after being transferred to Changhang Bureau, was eyed by the leaders of the Yangtze River Shipping Police School to become an instructor there.

Shi Shengyong was dumbfounded when Commissioner Ding commented, "Times have_changed; no matter where you go now, qualifications are required, and getting promoted is harder than reaching the heavens. It hasn’t been easy for Xiao Yu to get to where he is today."

Director Zhou agreed wholeheartedly, looked up at Ming Yuan sitting at the next table, then at Han Yu who was quietly smiling, "Ming Yuan, Salted Fish."

"Present!"

"Sit, let’s talk while seated."

Lifting his glass, Director Zhou remarked sentimentally, "I’ve heard about your master more than once before but never dealt with him. He is truly remarkable, not to mention his skill in nurturing talent. He coached three apprentices; one of you became a major case team captain, another a deputy division commander.

Compared to training you two, nurturing Xiao Yu was even harder. Xiao Yu never attended school, and he practically started teaching him from kindergarten. Raising a kid who never really went to school to become a public security policeman, even to be recommended to teach at the police school, is not something everyone can do!
