Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1096 - 3: Who Should We Recommend?

The first-class cabin is at the top level of the passenger ship, with only four rooms in total.

The cabin is large, like a standard hotel room, equipped with a spring bed, a sofa, a desk, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. Opening the door to the deck, there is a balcony, with rattan chairs, offering a great view while seated.

Seven or eight years ago, these cabins were reserved for high-ranking officials and foreign guests, but now regular passengers can also stay in them, although the ticket prices are exorbitant and not affordable for everyone.

The reason Old Ge and the master's wife can stay here is not because they bought tickets separately; rather, this passenger ship was chartered by the Linghai City Government!

The Changhang Bureau initially planned to arrange for all soldiers in the camp to take a favorable wind ship home.

Later, the Hanwu Changjiang Passenger Transport Company decided against "trial operations" and directly resumed passenger transport routes. If it were just the soldiers returning home, there would be no loss in taking advantage of this offer, but traveling together were more than eight hundred young girls and boys recruited in the disaster zone.

The homes of these young girls and boys were flooded, presenting their most difficult time. Recruiting them to work in Linghai, they shouldn't be made to bear the travel expenses. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The city decided to use municipal funds to charter the entire passenger ship, helping in disaster relief through employment, while also assisting Linghai enterprises in solving the "recruitment challenge."

It's worth mentioning that chartering ships and vehicles is not a first for Linghai.

Every township in Linghai has construction offices, and every year after the Spring Festival, Linghai construction workers go out for engineering works. They charter vehicles to the northern provinces and cities entirely, sometimes to the southern provinces they charter vehicles, or first purchase group tickets at the East Sea Railway Station, then charter ships at Bailong Port to transport construction workers to East Sea, and from there, they take trains to southern provincial construction sites.

In short, this passenger ship only sells tickets from Binjiang to East Sea, with no tickets sold for the section from Hanwu to Binjiang, with all cabins belonging to the Linghai City Government. As a city leader of Linghai, naturally Old Ge can stay in the first-class cabin.

In fact, it's not just Old Ge and the master's wife staying in the first-class cabin; Huang Yuanchang is staying in the opposite cabin.

He could totally skip the trip to Linghai, but he said he invited the Linghai Reserve Camp to join flood rescue efforts at Beihu, and now that the task is complete, he wants to escort all soldiers back, ensuring things end well!

Next to them is the honeymoon room of Han Xiangmeng and Liang Xiaojun, and next to Huang Yuanchang is the honeymoon room of Xiao Yu and Yu Zhen.

Originally, those two rooms were arranged for the father-in-law and Secretary Wang.

The father-in-law, seeing his daughter liked the first-class cabin, moved to the second-class cabin downstairs. Comrade Old Wang liked Xiao Yu and Yu Zhen, so he moved downstairs too, keeping company with Master Han while allowing the two kids separated for two months to enjoy some high-ranking privileges.

…

Han Yu entered the cabin, Sister Wei put down her knitting, and stood up awkwardly.

"Master's wife, does sailing make you seasick?"

"Sailing is different from riding a vehicle, not much seasickness. San'er, I bought pears downstairs, just washed, have one."

"Thank you, master's wife."

Han Yu, feeling thirsty, picked one up and started munching.

Old Ge greatly enjoyed this lifestyle, chuckled, "Gui Feng, I need to discuss something with San'er.

"Alright, you talk business, I'll go for a walk." Realizing the need to avoid the discussion, Sister Wei opened the door and walked out.

Even the master's wife couldn't be present; just what would be discussed?

Just as Han Yu put down the pear he munched on, Old Ge closed the door and said, "Master Xi just called me, saying the National Flood Control Headquarters, together with the Human Resources Department and the General Politics department are selecting the National Flood Control Advanced Group and Anti-flood Models, and our Linghai Reserve Camp is certainly among the advanced group. As for the models, entrusted by the Yangtze Flood Control Headquarters, he wants us to recommend four candidates who performed outstandingly and achieved remarkable results."

The Yangtze Flood Control Headquarters is essentially a branch of the National Flood Control Headquarters, implying once recommended, they will surely be selected.

It's good for the soldiers to have a chance to be models, but Han Yu, after thinking, couldn't help but ask, "We're to recommend four?"

"Yes, he's waiting for a reply."

"Recommending four at once, isn't that a bit much?"

"I was startled too initially; after all, the selection is for national models, and with the Human Resources Department involved, this is akin to the national labor model and like when you were awarded second-class heroic model by the Ministry of Police, it's not just an honor but also involves privileges."

Old Ge drank a sip of goji tea and continued, "I did ask Master Xi; he said this selection is different from usual ones. The Central requires significant commendation. He also mentioned that nationwide, the advanced groups in flood control would likely exceed three hundred, and nationwide models in flood control would likely be over five hundred."

In terms of contribution, everyone involved in flood control, soldiers and civilians alike, contributed greatly.

In terms of standout performance and significant achievements, there are simply too many outstanding individuals; if speaking of touching deeds, as Reporter Wang would say, the Linghai Reserve Camp may not even be in the picture.

Every soldier in the camp achieved merits, something unparalleled; what troop can say the same?

Han Yu felt that including himself, the honors and benefits received by the camp soldiers far exceeded their contributions during flood control efforts, hesitating to recommend lightly, or unwilling to claim undue achievements. Immediately he pulled out his phone, "Uncle Ge, I'll call Master Xi first."

"Alright, quickly make the call."

The phone quickly connected; without waiting for Master Xi to speak, Han Yu softly asked, "Master Xi, does our camp truly have four slots?"

"Four precisely; not enough?"

"How could it not be enough, I feel it's a lot."

Master Xi was in the Water Resources Commission leader's office, glanced up at the leader, and chuckled, "Not few, but not unusually many either."
