"Xiao Yu can’t keep anything to himself. He probably doesn’t know that Yu Zhen has invested so much money; otherwise, he would’ve already called to tell . Yu Zhen really kept it a secret from Xiao Yu, hiding such a big matter."
"It’s not that she intentionally kept it from him, it’s that she couldn’t be bothered to tell him. It makes no difference whether she does or doesn’t."
"What do you an?"
"In Yu Zhen’s words, he’s just a child who never grows up. What’s the point of telling him?"
Poor Xiao Yu, his status in the family is worrying.
Han Yu was secretly sympathizing with his good brother far away in Hanwu, when Han Xiangning suddenly changed the subject: "San’er, I almost forgot to tell you sothing."
Han Yu subconsciously asked, "What is it?"
"Patients abound in People’s Hospital, but beds are scarce. Many patients from other districts and counties, lacking beds, have to rent places near the hospital. A few days ago, soone asked my mom if our place was for rent, and after calling to ask , I had my mom clean it up a bit and rented it out to them."
"Has it already been rented out?"
"Yeah, for 280 a month, rented to an old cadre from Dongqi who is getting radiotherapy at People’s Hospital. We received three months’ rent upfront."
But that’s our new house. How could you just rent it out like that?
And it wasn’t to just anyone, but to a cancer patient. Doesn’t cancer require chemotherapy?
Han Yu was stunned, montarily at a loss for words.
Han Xiangning, fearing he would overthink it, took his hand with a smile and said: "Most cancers aren’t contagious. Besides, what does my mom do for a living? If it was contagious, would she rent out the house? Besides, it’s a good deed. If they couldn’t find a place to rent, they’d have to stay in low-quality motels."
"Two hundred eighty a month, that’s nearly my entire monthly salary."
"Yeah, it’s just sitting there empty otherwise, so why not rent it out and make so money."
"Alright, since it has already been rented out."
Suddenly, Han Yu felt he had no right to sympathize with Xiao Yu because he had no more status at ho than Xiao Yu did.
...
anwhile, Director He and Political Commissioner Jiang had just attended a eting at Wenfeng Hotel hosted by the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Governnt to summarize and comnd the achievents of the anti-cri crackdown.
The Changhang Bureau, like the Water Police Station, was recognized as an "Advanced Unit in the Crackdown Effort" by the City Committee. The Criminal Investigation Team and Bailong Port Police Station were recognized as "Advanced Groups in the Crackdown Effort", and Director He, forr head of the Criminal Investigation Departnt Jiang Xiaobin, Acting Director Han Yu of Bailong Port Police Station, and six other officers were recognized as "Advanced Individuals in the Crackdown Effort".
Since today’s awards ceremony was only notified to the District County Police Bureau Directors and Political Commissioners, the leaders of the departnts and teams at the City Bureau, the plaques for advanced collectives and certificates for advanced individuals were received on behalf of the winners by the attending heads of the District County Police Bureaus.
Worth ntioning is that comrade Han Shuqun, the Deputy Chief Engineer of the teorological Bureau, was also recognized as an "Advanced Individual in the Crackdown Effort"!
Many attendees were unaware and surprised, but Director He knew full well.
This individual honor was originally intended for the Port Supervision Bureau, after all, their vessel inspection branch provided a crucial lead that enabled Changhang Bureau and Water Police Station to crack a major ship theft case.
However, due to the badly influential psychotic murderer from the Port Supervision Bureau, the comndation was given instead to Master Han, who provided teorological support for police carrying out sea search and interception missions to combat human smuggling.
He had just cramd a bunch of certificates into the back seat of his Santana, privately lanting the Port Supervision Bureau’s misfortune, when a familiar voice ca from behind.
"Director He, are you busy?"
"Old Wang, what’s up?"
Wang Wenhong, the Political Commissioner of the Water Police Station, turned to look at the head of his forr unit and said with a smile, "Director He, if you’re not busy, Director Zhou would like to talk to you about so work."
"Director He, would that be convenient?" Linghai Police Director Zhou Huixin asked with an expectant smile.
Director He, taken aback, pointed to the venue with a laugh, "Reporting to ? You should report to Director Chen."
Zhou Huixin spoke with anticipation: "Director He, I really need to report sothing."
"You’re joking."
"No joke."
This year’s crackdown efforts had good cooperation with the Linghai Police, so Director He felt he should give Zhou Huixin face and asked with a smile, "Talk here?"
"It’s almost ti for lunch. The city didn’t provide a al, but I’ve made arrangents. We can talk while we eat."
"Alright, where’s your car? I’ll go with you."
Zhou Huixin had worked in the City Bureau for many years and was very familiar with the city area. The place he arranged was not far from Wenfeng Hotel.
Director He followed them into a private room in a restaurant. As soon as they sat down and ordered food, Zhou Huixin got straight to the point.
"The crackdown has finally ended, and Binjiang is holding a summary comndation eting today. In a few days, we in Linghai will have one too. After the comndation eting is over, our focus in Linghai will shift to economic construction, with the Linghai Port project being the priority."
"The superiors approved it?"
"The city leaders said that all the approvals needed have mostly been run through. Even the ones not yet granted won’t affect the progression of the project."
Director He asked with a smile, "What does this have to do with our bureau? When the port is built and operational, will the security in the Port District be under our bureau’s jurisdiction?"
Zhou Huixin respectfully offered a cigarette, saying with a smile, "The superiors haven’t ntioned that, but according to the city’s overall arrangents, by the end of this month at the latest, the Linghai Port Project Command Center will be established. Expropriation and demolition should be completed before the Chinese New Year. The city governnt requires our Police Bureau to establish a Linghai Port subdivision before the groundbreaking of the port project, to escort the construction."
"The city governnt’s requirents an staffing and personnel will be no problem; this is a good thing."
"Indeed it’s a good thing, but the situation along the river isn’t the sa as other places. You can imagine that once construction starts, a significant amount of construction materials will be needed, and most of these materials rely on water transport. Every day, dozens or even hundreds of ships will be transporting materials here, and the temporary docks are small. Disagreents on who unloads first and who cos after are bound to arise."
