Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1366 Not giving face
Soon after Xu Chunliang took office, he encountered a thorny and old problem. It was related to the Water Security Management Brigade of Taibaiwa Branch of Weishan Lake Scenic Area Management Office. Two cruise ships from Weishan Island in Dongzhou that did not comply with the procedures were detained by them.

In fact, due to the policy of lake demarcation, such problems have arisen frequently in the past. Xu Chunliang once came to Jeju on behalf of Dongzhou to negotiate with the local people. However, the times have changed and he now represents Jeju.

These two cruise ships did not have operating licenses and crossed the border into the waters under the jurisdiction of Jeju. According to policy, the Water Security Management Brigade implemented control and there was nothing wrong with detaining the ships.

But it just so happened that both ships were from Hushan Town, Weishan Island. The ship owner somehow found out that Xu Chunliang had gone to Jeju Tourism and happened to be in charge of this matter, so he asked someone to come and find him.

The person who was entrusted was Zhang Haitao, Xu Chunliang's driver during his work on Weishan Island. Now Zhang Haitao is also engaged in logistics work at the New Star Film and Television Base through Xu Chunliang's relationship.

When Xu Chunliang heard that it was an old acquaintance who came to see him, he asked the guard to let him in.

Zhang Haitao walked into Xu Chunliang's office with a big smile on his face: "Director Xu, I didn't know you came to Jeju to work."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, do I need to report to you where I go to work?"

Zhang Haitao said in panic: "How can I be worthy? You are my old leader and my forever leader."

Xu Chunliang said, "Okay, stop playing tricks on me, sit down."

Zhang Haitao sat down on the sofa. Xu Chunliang personally poured him a glass of water. Zhang Haitao took it with great trepidation: "Director Xu..."

Xu Chunliang said: "I haven't been the dean for many years."

Zhang Haitao quickly changed his address: "Director Xu, I came here today because I have something to bother you with."

Xu Chunliang said: "If you have something to say, just tell me."

Zhang Haitao said, "It's like this. Two of my relative's cruise ships were seized. I heard it was done by the Water Security Management Team of the Taibaiwa Branch of the Weishan Lake Scenic Area Management Office."

Xu Chunliang said: "This kind of thing is very common. In the past, it was handled through public-to-public procedures. Just let your local police station come over to negotiate."

Zhang Haitao smiled bitterly and said, "These two boats don't have relevant operating licenses. The police station doesn't care. Normally, they just have to pay a fine, but your water security management brigade is asking too much."

Xu Chunliang asked: "How much do you want?"

Zhang Haitao said, "Fifty thousand per ship."

Xu Chunliang said: "One hundred thousand, does it comply with the relevant regulations?"

Zhang Haitao sighed and said, "How would we know? This kind of thing has happened in the past, but they were just symbolically fined. Since the leadership of the Water Security Brigade was changed last year, the punishment has been more severe. They said it was crossing the boundary, but there is still no clear boundary line in the waters of Weishan Lake. My relative said he didn't cross the boundary at all, it was the security management department that overstepped the boundary and enforced the law."

Xu Chunliang said: "Just believe what he says. Strict management is a good thing, so that a group of people won't illegally occupy our Jeju resources."

Zhang Haitao was stunned for a moment. Xu Chunliang was speaking from the perspective of Jeju. But it was normal to think about it. He was now an official of Jeju Culture and Tourism, so of course he had to speak for Jeju. He whispered, "You misunderstood. It's not as simple as it seems. I heard that the new captain is a shady guy. He accepted bribes privately. Take these two ships for example. If we find a way, 30,000 yuan can be used privately. But my relative is not doing well. The ships were bought with loans. How can we have extra money to give to him?"

Xu Chunliang frowned. Law enforcement fines were not a big problem, but the problem of privately searching for black money reported by Zhang Haitao was very serious. If such a thing really happened, he certainly could not turn a blind eye.

Zhang Haitao said, "Director Xu, I don't have any other intentions. I just want you to see if you can talk to him and ask him to be lenient with my relative or charge less."

Xu Chunliang said: "Haitao, how about this, I just came here and I am not familiar with the situation here, I will first understand the situation and then reply to you, I will definitely help as long as I can."

Zhang Haitao knew Xu Chunliang's character, and he would definitely help him as long as he said so. Before leaving, he left two boxes of tea with 10,000 yuan in them for Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang was very familiar with this routine. He stopped Zhang Haitao and asked him to take the things back intact. Xu Chunliang never used the concept of integrity to define himself, and he never thought of using his power to seek personal gain.

After Zhang Haitao left, Xu Chunliang asked someone to find out about the situation of the Water Security Management Brigade. The current brigade captain is Hu Xianyong, who is said to be the brother-in-law of a deputy director of the Jeju City Bureau.

According to the work assignment of Jeju Culture and Tourism, Xu Chunliang is now the deputy director of the Weishan Lake National Resort Construction Command and is in charge of the work. The Taibaiwa Scenic Area Water Security Management Brigade is a subordinate unit of the command.

Xu Chunliang originally thought that they should be under the unified management of the public security, urban management and the like, but he did not expect that they were actually under his jurisdiction. Needless to say, this public security management team is basically composed of temporary workers and is not part of the formal establishment.

Xu Chunliang found Hu Xianyong's phone number and called him.

After Hu Xianyong answered the phone, his tone was very stern: "Who is it?" Xu Chunliang said: "Captain Hu, I am Xu Chunliang, the new deputy director of the resort construction headquarters."

Hu Xianyong was stunned for a moment. He had heard that the leader of the Culture and Tourism Bureau had changed in the past two days. His tone was a little softer than before: "Oh, Director Xu, hello, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xu Chunliang said: "That's right, I heard that your brigade just seized two yachts from Hushan Town, Dongzhou."

Hu Xianyong said: "That's true. They didn't have the proper procedures and violated the regulations to conduct commercial operations in our waters. Our brigade detained the ship in accordance with relevant regulations."

Xu Chunliang said: "The ship owner is my friend." His intention was obvious. He wanted you, a subordinate, to give me some face. Generally speaking, as long as you are not stupid, you should do it. As for how much to give, it depends on your understanding and the position of the leader in your heart.

Hu Xianyong said, "Director Xu, this is not a easy matter to handle. The Cultural and Tourism Bureau has had a lot of problems recently. Supervisory departments at all levels are watching us, and such situations keep popping up. If I give you this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just business as usual. By the way, what's your full name?"

Hu Xianyong was stunned for a moment. You don't know my name and you're calling me? But he still gave his name: "Hu Xianyong."

Xu Chunliang said: "It's a good name, and your courage is commendable."

Xu Chunliang hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Hu Xianyong did not give him any face at all. Regardless of whether Hu Xianyong had accepted bribes or not, such a person was not easy to use. A new official had three things to do when he took office, and the first one had a clear target.

Xu Chunliang first called Lu Yunqi. Lu Yunqi has been sick at home since the accident. Some people said that he was reflecting on his mistakes, but in fact, Lu Yunqi was dealing with divorce issues. He and his wife just completed the divorce procedures today.

When Lu Yunqi received the call from Xu Chunliang, he had just come out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He also heard about Xu Chunliang's coming to Jeju, but he thought that he would not have much interaction with Xu Chunliang in the future. He was arrested because of his lifestyle problems, and he had almost no chance of making a comeback in the future.

An old classmate who opened a factory in the south encouraged him to resign and start a new life in the south, but Lu Yunqi was hesitating.

"Director Lu, how are you?"

Lu Yunqi said, "Director Xu has just taken office, and I haven't had time to congratulate you yet." His words were somewhat sour. Although his accident had nothing to do with Xu Chunliang, he always felt a little unbalanced when he reached this point in his life.

Xu Chunliang said: "I'm in your old office."

Lu Yunqi said: "I advise you to choose a new office. The feng shui is not good. Don't let it affect your future."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I don't really believe in superstition. This office is pretty good, so I changed my bed."

Lu Yunqi felt awkward even over the phone. He coughed and said, "Director Xu, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I found out that you are still a member of the Culture and Tourism Bureau."

Lu Yunqi said, "So be it." He felt sad whenever he mentioned this matter. His future was ruined for Liang Xin. Looking back now, it was really not worth it. After the incident, Liang Xin was not as enthusiastic about him as before. I don't know whether it was to avoid suspicion or because she felt that he was no longer useful, so she gradually distanced herself from him.

Xu Chunliang said: "I just arrived in Jeju and am not familiar with the work here. I want to ask you some questions in person."

Lu Yunqi said: "I don't deserve it. I have made mistakes before, so how can I be qualified to teach others?"

Xu Chunliang said: "It's not a big mistake, Lao Lu, if you believe me, let's meet, maybe it will be good for both of us."

Lu Yunqi's heart moved. What did Xu Chunliang mean? Although he didn't know what benefits Xu Chunliang was talking about, Lu Yunqi knew Xu Chunliang's methods very well. It was Xu Chunliang who used the secret between him and Liang Xin to threaten him to submit. Although Xu Chunliang was young, he had very powerful methods.

Lu Yunqi, who was at the lowest point in his life, finally planned to meet with Xu Chunliang. After all, he was still in the Culture and Tourism Bureau, and Xu Chunliang had no interest in him at present.

Lu Yunqi didn't want to go to the unit, so he asked Xu Chunliang to go to the ancient city teahouse. Xu Chunliang asked him to come directly to his old house for tea.

Lu Yunqi came to Xu Chunliang's residence according to the address Xu Chunliang gave. He still had some impression of this place. When Zhou Renhe passed away, he came to pay his condolences. However, he did not know that Zhou Renhe left the old house to Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang invited Lu Yunqi to the tea room. After Lu Yunqi sat down, he placed the two boxes of tea in his hand on the tea table: "I brought you two boxes of tea, please try them."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Director Lu is too polite."
