The next day.
morning.
After Li Shaoze finished writing the action report, he walked out of the office and saw that the crime team and the anti-gangster team were interrogating the Dongxing boss arrested yesterday.
Everyone looks very busy, but it doesn't matter, the busyness will continue until the year before.
There is only one month left before the Chinese New Year.
Li Shaoze walked to the administrative team, put the action report into a file bag, tapped the desk to align the edges, then slowly rolled up the seal of the file bag and handed it to Wang Suxian in front of him.
"Axian, help me give it to 'Brother One'."
"A formal case meeting will be arranged in the afternoon. I will attend in a very handsome formal suit."
"I know, Sir..."
Wang Suxian responded angrily, turned around, picked up the file bag, and drove to the General Administration to submit the files in person.
"Um."
"Axian, you are indeed my most considerate subordinate."
Li Shaoze watched his beloved Ah Xian leave, tugging on his tie with a smile on his lips.
There is no way, now he is having a conflict with "Brother No.1". If you go to submit an action report early in the morning, you might be caught and beaten up. Rather than asking for trouble, it is better to let Wang Suxian deliver the report.
Anyway, the report sent by A-yin will only be handed over to the secretary of the division chief, and will not be seen directly by the division chief, so there is no question of whether to quarrel with him or not.
Of course, the indirect conversation between the two people in this way undoubtedly revealed a "freshness" in their attitudes. But it doesn't matter, he will still have to sing a lot of opposition to "Brother No. 1". It would be better to be more "shengfen", and everyone will not feel so uncomfortable.
Anyway, the relationship is not good, so let’s do whatever we need to do.
As for the case briefing in the afternoon, it was the official closing ceremony of the entire "anti-criminal and evil" campaign.
It was all handled by Sir Li.
When the case meeting began, he not only asked reporters to take some handsome cover photos, but he also prepared to read several pages of lines praising himself to put gold on his face.
Now...
Li Shaoze walked to the office area on the fourth floor, clapped his hands towards the guys and shouted: "Everyone please be patient and try to speed up the progress."
"Even if you have to work overtime, it must be done before the year ends. I wish everyone a good New Year."
"Yes, sir."
The guys who were working raised their heads and loudly agreed, indicating that they had received the instructions from the Sir.
Li Shaoze nodded, but did not forget to add one more sentence: "By the way, I also wish you all a good year in Stanley this year."
"..."
The young and Dangerous boys were handcuffed and sitting in the interrogation position. When they heard these words, they lowered their heads with a dejected expression.
"Um."
"Hurry up and record it."
Li Shaoze walked slowly towards the stairs with his hands behind his back, and bumped into Huang Weiyao who was going downstairs. I saw Sir Huang wearing a uniform with a police star on his shoulders, looking like he was about to go out.
"Aze, congratulations."
"I have already submitted the letter of recommendation. Let's wait for the interview after the New Year."
Huang Weiyao deliberately stopped, patted Aze on the shoulder, and smiled happily.
He was sitting in the director's office watching the actions during this period, including last night's arrest. Although he did not come forward in person, he was Sir Li's strongest support.
Now that Li Shaoze heard that the promotion was finalized and was just waiting for the interview, he quickly smiled and saluted: "Thank you, Sir Huang."
"You're welcome."
"I'll go to the airport to pick up my daughter first. You can stay and look after the house."
Huang Weiyao waved his hands, as if he was an old man who had seen through fame and fortune and began to miss the warmth of his family. After waving his hands casually, he scurried away quickly.
Li Shaoze grinned and walked back to the office helplessly.
General Administration.
Office of the Director.
Click, click, click, and after a few knocks, the secretary of the division director came in with a few files and placed them on the right hand side of the desk as usual. When Zeng Xiangrong cast an inquiring look at her, she explained calmly: "Sir Zeng, one Security Bureau file, one action report, and three copies of the meeting."
"okay, I get it."
Zeng Xiangrong rubbed his brows, closed a copy of the "Police Commissioner's Senior Management Recommendation Form" in his hand, took a sip of coffee, and let out a long sigh.
Jump on the street.
Why is Li Shaoze's name on this form?
The Western District's calculations were so good that Huang Weiyao took advantage of his retirement to immediately recommend Li Shaoze.
Routines are all routines.
Although he had known about it for a long time, he felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart. I feel that as a police commissioner, I can't really show my talents according to my own ideas, and I am always controlled by others.
There is pressure from the Financial Secretary on the outside and the balance of relationships on the inside. It is really difficult to be a human being. Alas, being the first brother is even harder.
He was clearly in his early fifties, so why did he feel like his body couldn't bear it all day long?
I really can’t understand how “Raymond” could still work energetically every day when he was almost sixty years old. And he seems quite happy, without having to worry about the things at hand.
Seeing "Brother One"'s appearance, the Secretary of the Division Chief put away the signed files and proactively asked, "Sir Zeng, do you want the meeting to be postponed for an hour?"
Zeng Xiangrong put down the coffee cup, shook his head slightly and said, "No need."
"Okay, sir."
The secretary to the director stopped talking, took the files and turned around to leave the office.
Zeng Xiangrong casually picked up some files that had just been sent to him. Unexpectedly, the top one was the Western District's action report on the "anti-gang operation."
This made Zeng Xiangrong's face darken again. He opened the folder, glanced at it briefly, signed a name at the bottom, and threw the action report aside.
To him, it was better to have it over than not.
But it was impossible for him to commend him personally. Even if the report said there would be a press conference in the afternoon, he didn't bother to go and take a look. As for other data reports, he had heard a rough outline of them on the news last night and didn't want to care about them at all.
However, after he signed this, it was actually an endorsement of Sir Li's achievements. Although there is no special commendation, the file already contains substantial achievements, which is very helpful for Sir Li's promotion.
Under normal circumstances, Sir Li cannot escape from being promoted to Senior Superintendent...
A thirty-five-year-old police commissioner?
This guy wants to be a big brother at the age of forty!
Wouldn't it be right to take my place as soon as I leave?
Zeng Xiangrong smiled nonchalantly, and unexpectedly guessed the truth...
Fortunately, he was personally interviewed for promotion to Senior Superintendent. The interview judging panel is composed of the Assistant Commissioner of Police and senior officials above.
After successful interviews, the Police Commissioner will personally appoint the officers with the rank of "Senior Superintendent".
The position of Western District Commissioner is the same and must be appointed personally by the Commissioner of Police.
Therefore, Zeng Xiangrong plays a very important role in this upgrade path, and even has a veto power.
Now, he had decided in his heart to suppress Li Shaoze at the risk of being illegal. When the time comes, even if they break up with Raymond's old brothers and the small group of "Red Harbor Faction" around Li Shaoze, they will not hesitate to do so.
Because he still needs to be suppressed, otherwise the brothers around him will be disappointed.
"Ding ding ding."
The landline next to the desk rang.
Zeng Xiangrong answered the phone, hummed twice, with a trace of doubt on his face, and hung up the phone immediately.
"Why do the Security Bureau and people from the mainland come to me?"
"It always feels like nothing good is happening."
The doubts in my heart turned into doubts. The two people who came to visit were both distinguished guests. In terms of rank and status, they were neither higher nor lower than him.
Zeng Xiangrong stood obediently in front of the mirror, straightened his suit collar, took a deep breath, opened the glass door, and strode out of the office.
"Director Lu, Section Chief Yang."
When he came to the reception area outside the corridor, he found that the two people standing there holding disposable paper cups and chatting over coffee were all old acquaintances.
One is the current deputy director of the Security Bureau, Lu Huaming, who is in charge of the Fire Protection, Correctional Services Department, and Customs and Immigration Department. The other is "Yang Jianhua", the relations section chief responsible for liaison between the two places.
"Sir Zeng."
Lu Huaming put down his coffee and took the initiative to extend his right hand to Zeng Xiangrong.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
After Zeng Xiangrong shook hands with him, he extended his hand in front of Yang Jianhua. The two shook hands and said hello. Zeng Xiangrong moved his eyes to Lu Minghua, spread his hands and made a joke: "Hua Zai, does the coffee at the police station taste good?"
"Hahaha, the coffee beans that Brother Yi uses here are obviously different from those downstairs."
Lu Minghua laughed heartily, knowing that Zeng Xiangrong was testing him. So he didn't hide it and glanced to the side: "Sir Zeng, Section Chief Yang came to see you specially this time. Don't be afraid. It's a good thing."
Zeng Xiangrong turned to Yang Jianhua, took two exaggerated steps back, and showed an expression of surprise: "Chief Yang, what a great thing."
"Would you like to come to my office? I still have a private collection of coffee beans."
Yang Jianhua shook his head, took a business-like attitude, and took out a folder from the briefcase on the sofa.
Zeng Xiangrong took the folder and asked suspiciously: "Chief Yang, what is this?"
Yang Jianhua raised his hand in salute and explained aloud: "Officer Zeng, this is a certificate of commendation issued by the superior."
"Relevant departments at higher levels highly recognize the Hong Kong Island Police Department's action policy of 'cracking down on crime and eradicating evil', as well as the results of the action. They believe that through on-the-spot operations, the social security of Hong Kong Island has become safer."
"This certificate of commendation is awarded to the police force, and there is also one I will award to the commander of the operation, Superintendent Li Shaoze."
When Zeng Xiangrong saw this certificate of commendation, he felt like he was eating shit...
The superiors handed out certificates of commendation.
How dare he not upgrade Li Shaoze? This is the superior's support for Li Shaoze.
Zeng Xiangrong took a breath, forced out a smile and said, "Thank you, Chief Yang."
"The Hong Kong Police Force deserves this certificate of commendation. Please convey my gratitude to my superiors on my behalf."
Of course he deserves it, but others deserve it...
Zeng Xiangrong no longer wants to promote Sir Li.
Because if you don't promote Sir Li, you just don't value this certificate of commendation, and you are looking for death!
