Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 338 - 240: Sleepiness Brings a Pillow

Causing trouble for the leader was just a minor incident; Han Yu didn’t take it to heart, but rather felt a bit heartbroken.

To win a sanitary city title, buying hundreds of thousands of brooms, even if each costs one yuan, it would cost hundreds of thousands. How good would it be if that money was used to repair ships?

Arriving at the restaurant, Lin Xiaohui and Liu Xiaomei had already arrived, bringing their respective fiancés, and were chatting while cracking sunflower seeds in a private room.

It had been several years since we last met, Lin Xiaohui was still very beautiful.

Maybe it has something to do with working as a white-collar in a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, or maybe it’s her fashionable dress, but you can no longer tell that she is a girl who was born and raised on a ship; the aura she emits is no less than that of an elder school sister.

Liu Xiaomei not only became a workshop supervisor in a Hong Kong-funded enterprise but also found a very good match.

Her fiancé, Jiang Bin, is the youngest son of Manager Jiang from the shipping company, whom Han Yu had known for a long time. He is just two years younger and being the son of a cadre, they hadn’t interacted much before.

Lin Xiaohui was very enthusiastic and after introducing her boyfriend, she took out a nice handbag.

"Sister Xiang Ning, this is a little something from me."

"There’s even a gift, how could I accept this?"

"It’s nothing expensive. It should have been Xiaomei and I who treat you since you came to Linghai, but now it turned around, so I naturally brought some gifts."

A full bag of skincare and makeup products, all imported.

First calling her "Sister Xiang Ning," and now giving skincare products, is she implying that I’m old?

Han Xiangning muttered to herself and graciously accepted the handbag with a smile, asking, "Xiaohui, did you bring these from abroad?"

Lin Xiaohui glanced at Salted Fish who had changed so much that he was almost unrecognizable, and laughed, "I’ve never been abroad, only been to Hong Kong a few times. Guohua often goes abroad; he studies foreign trade and is good at English."

Han Xiangning put down the handbag, turned around with a smile, and said, "San’er’s English isn’t bad either, he can chat with foreigners for quite a while, and I can’t understand a word."

Knowing that Lin Xiaohui and Salted Fish felt awkward, Liu Xiaomei curiously asked, "Brother Salted Fish, did you learn English while sailing?"

"Yes."

"Xiao Yu said you later boarded a specialized container ship that sails overseas, is that true?"

"True. I stayed on the ship for nearly two years."

"So, you’ve been to many countries?"

"Yes, I’ve been to quite a few countries, but I’m no match for Manager Liu. I was just a seaman, only passing by ports and sometimes I didn’t even go ashore."

Han Yu followed in his father’s footsteps and learned to pilot ships, Jiang Bin did the same.

His father had been a manager at the shipping company for many years. Although Jiang Bin didn’t get into Binjiang Shipping School, he went to Jiangcheng Transportation School through sponsored admission and after graduation, joined the Transportation Bureau. He worked in a township traffic management station for two years and was now transferred to the transportation management department of the Bureau.

Like Linghai, there is a Port Supervision, but its business supervision is under Binjiang City Transportation Bureau’s Port Supervision Department and has no affiliation with Yangtze River Binjiang Port and Navigation Supervision Bureau.

Cadres from local traffic management department easily find common ground with the Transportation Department Port Supervisor, especially since several shipping company fleets and more individual boats under the ship company run on the river.

He curiously asked about the Water Rescue Center and Port Patrol Second Team, forcing Han Xiangning to engage in conversation with a local colleague.

Liu Xiaomei smiled and asked, "Brother Salted Fish, how come Yu Zhen and Xiao Yu didn’t come?"

Today could be considered a gathering of the shipping company, and Xiao Yu, now being the company’s son-in-law, would completely qualify to attend.

But he can’t keep a secret; heaven knows what he might say if he came.

Han Yu quickly said, "Our law enforcement rescue boat is always ready to assist the Port Supervision and Changhang Bureau in firefighting and rescue operations. There aren’t many who can pilot the boat, Captain Wang is getting old, so if I come, he can’t, and if he has an issue, I can’t leave."

Lin Xiaohui, smiling radiantly, said, "Xiao Yu hasn’t changed much, but you’ve changed a lot."

"Really?"

"You used to be so short, now you’ve grown so tall, if we met on the street, I probably wouldn’t recognize you."

Han Yu was unsure how to continue, but Han Xiangning turned around and said, "How many years has it been since you guys met, you think he’s changed a lot. I see him every few days; the longest we’ve been apart was the seven months he was on the overseas vessel, so I don’t think his changes are that big."

Lin Xiaohui couldn’t miss the implied meaning in Han Xiangning’s words, chuckled and said, "Sister Xiang Ning, Salted Fish is really lucky to have found such a beautiful girlfriend like you."

Han Xiangning hadn’t expected her to say that, suddenly feeling a bit guilty of suspecting others without cause, she quickly said, "You’re the lucky one, Manager Liu not only has high education and good English, but also has traveled to so many countries."

"I don’t like business trips, I really dread them."

Lin Xiaohui’s fiancé, Liu Guohua, curiously looked at Han Yu and smiled, "Captain Han, Xiaomei and Xiaomei often mention you, they admire you a lot. They say you were the most diligent and promising student at the shipping company."

"Manager Liu, you shouldn’t say such things, Brother Jiang is sitting right here." freёweɓnovel_com

"Salted Fish, you were always better at studying than me."

"We weren’t in the same class, it’s not good to compare. Besides, what’s the use of being good at studying? Now you are more successful than I am."

Indeed, the Transportation Bureau has better benefits and pay compared to the police, and it’s not as tough as the police work.

Listening to Salted Fish praising her fiancé, Liu Xiaomei felt delighted and couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Salted Fish, why haven’t you called us these years, why didn’t you come to see us?"

This was a rather awkward question.

But Han Yu was prepared, with a bitter smile, he said, "These years I not only had to work, but also participate in various kinds of examinations. Just the messy registration fees, book fees, and examination fees cost me several thousand yuan."
