After all, the old leader now has dozens of subordinates, and with the New Year approaching, giving them so goods is beneficial for increasing the cohesion of the troops.
Han Yu considered that Vice Minister Li was leading a team to offer condolences, so he imdiately invited Commissar Fang from the care departnt to join in the reception, making the camp particularly lively today.
Han Xiangning led everyone into the reception room, and just as he asked everyone to sit down, a young man wearing a blue cadet shoulder badge followed in to help make tea.
Director Guan sat down and curiously asked, "Xiang Ning, is this young man with the Air Force?"
"Yes." Han Xiangning smiled and introduced, "Xiao Du is not only a cadet at the People's Liberation Army Engineering College but also a comrade of Salted Fish during flood rescue operations at Beihu. With the end of the year, regular universities are on winter break, and the military school is also on break. Xiao Du's hotown is in the Northeast, and it would be too much trouble to return, so he agreed with his family to spend the New Year here with us."
"Hello, leaders. Please enjoy your tea."
Du Yuan brewed the tea, put down the kettle, saluted everyone, and promptly left the reception room.
Director Guan watched Du Yuan leave and laughed, asking, "Xiang Ning, does this an that your Salted Fish here has all military branches: sea, land, and air?"
"Not just sea, land, and air, but also Ard Police, police, customs, and marine affairs."
"I know the police and customs, but what's going on with the Ard Police and marine affairs?"
"Director Guan, do you rember Li Jun from the Binjiang Border Inspection Station?"
"I don't rember, not at all."
"It's normal not to rember. When you were at the bureau, he was just a lieutenant. But now he's impressive, having earned comndation during flood rescue operations at Beihu and escorted Vice President L to visit the affected communities. He was initially prepared to be transferred, but the higher-ups didn't allow it. Upon his return, he was sent to the Ard Police Command College for training."
Han Xiangning, while observing the visitors from Wujiang without showing any emotion, smiled and said, "He just returned the day before yesterday. His appointnt was announced yesterday morning, promoted to deputy group level, and he is now Chief of Staff at the Binjiang Border Inspection Station."
"He also ca?"
"Yes, he's upstairs having a discussion with Salted Fish and the others."
Deputy Director Wang from the Shuzhou Mariti Bureau curiously asked, "Director Han, how many leaders ca today?"
Director Guan had introduced them when bringing them in, and Han Xiangning felt quite favorable towards the colleagues from Shuzhou Mariti Affairs, smiling and saying, "Today's guests are all friends, not leaders."
"Isn't the Chief of Staff of the Border Inspection Station considered a leader?"
"Not in our Salted Fish's perspective. If you consider military positions, the Rescue Boat Team is a Regular Group Level unit, with Salted Fish as Big Commander, Commissar Fang also being Regular Army Level, while Li Jun is just deputy group level, and Deputy Minister Li from the Linghai Ard Forces Departnt is also at that level."
Director Guan laughed and couldn't help but ask, "Does this an that Salted Fish's military position is higher than his local position?"
Han Xiangning giggled and replied, "Pretty much."
Vice Director Li from Wujiang County Transportation Bureau and Chief Ding listened in amazent; one truly cannot judge a cadre's capability rely by administrative rank.
For example, the legendary Salted Fish, whose administrative rank seed to be Full Departnt Level; but according to Director Guan and Deputy Director Wang, even at Standard Departnt Level once aboard a ship, everyone on the Yangtze River must listen to Salted Fish's commands.
The scene before them was even more shocking; who would believe that a Full Departnt Level officer could command the Army, Navy, and Air Force!
Both were dazed as Guo Weitao led three middle-aged cadres inside.
Just as everyone stood up, Han Xiangning introduced with a smile, "Director Guan, Director Wang, Director Li, let introduce you to Director Tao from Linghai City Transportation Bureau, Director Shen from Changzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau, and Manager Jiang from Linghai Shipping Company."
"Hello, Director Tao!"
"Hello, Director Shen!"
...
All were colleagues from the transportation system, with two of them being directors.
Vice Director Li was greatly surprised and quickly greeted his colleagues.
Director Guan held a Standard Departnt Level position, but the Shuzhou Mariti Bureau only managed the Shuzhou Section of the Yangtze River, and in terms of real power, he couldn't compare to the transportation directors of the Binjiang area, which covers two county-level cities.
Everyone shook hands, exchanged business cards, then sat down for tea and conversation.
Old Ge lived in a small villa not far from the camp; Director Tao didn't dare put on airs in front of Old Ge and modestly said, "Director Guan, let report to you. Secretary Han called to say that you and Director Li would be visiting today. Since he doesn't drink, worried about poor hospitality, he asked us two to co and accompany you."
You two coming here must not be just about drinking with .
Director Guan sensed an ulterior motive and instinctively glanced back at Vice Director Li, smiling, "I am here at the request of Director Li to invite you for a gathering, so I should be the one accompanying you."
"Having co to Binjiang, it's only appropriate for us to host."
"Yes, once you co to Binjiang, we must fulfill our role as hosts."
Having two transportation directors and a shipping company manager arrive, it's clear they are here with demands!
Vice Director Li was racking his brain, wishing he could kick Chief Ding.
At this mont, footsteps were heard at the door.
Everyone turned to look and got a shock.
Han Yu, dressed in a Navy uniform, wearing a Navy Reserve Major insignia, ca over with Vice Minister Li, Commissar Fang, Li Jun, and Yang Jianbo.
Joining the reception were Jiang Shengqi and other active Navy officers, totaling two Colonels, one Major, three Lieutenant Commanders, and four Lieutenants!
"Director Guan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Han Yu saluted Director Guan and turned to say with a smile, "Director Guan, Director Tao, Director Shen, Commissar Fang, Minister Li, Chief Li, and Instructor Yang heard that we had distinguished guests today and insisted on greeting everyone."
Although Director Guan held a Standard Departnt Level position, he had never seen so many Navy and Army officers at once; he was indeed overwheld, quickly standing up to greet Commissar Fang, Vice Minister Li, and the others.
