Wang Xiuzhu, though she was not methodical in her actions, had genuine feelings for Pei Yang. Despite Shen Mingzhu not accepting her conditions, Wang Xiuzhu still immediately called her uncle, who works at the Maritime Bureau, after returning and informed him of Pei Yang's situation.
Even though Wang Xiuzhu's uncle was not from Fengcheng, they were from the same province, and getting a replacement seafarer's certificate was just a matter of making a call and working some overtime.
By noon, Lin Guofu brought Pei Yang good news.
The Fengcheng Maritime Bureau had agreed to help expedite the issuance of Pei Yang's replacement seafarer's certificate and to send it via express post, which was expected to arrive in about three days.
That same day was also the departure date for the voyage.
To be on the safe side should the mail be delayed on the way, Lin Guofu applied for a one-day departure delay from the parent company, citing the need for a ship inspection.
