One month later.
on Monday.
morning.
At this time, all managers at the constitutional committee level of the police department were holding a meeting in the conference room on the top floor.
The meeting only discussed the daily deployment of the police force and data such as criminal rate and crime detection rate.
Soon, the meeting ended, and a large group of officers in white uniforms put away the documents and bustled out of the hall.
Zeng Xiangrong sat on the podium at the long table. After turning his head and saying a few words to the secretary, the secretary nodded and went against the flow of people to find two senior assistant division directors who were packing their things and preparing to leave.
These two senior assistant division chiefs are obviously Li Shaoze and Li Wenbin.
"Two sirs, Sir Zeng asked you to stay for a while."
The director's secretary was smart enough not to address them as "Sir Li", but stopped the two of them together.
Li Shaoze and Li Wenbin were slightly surprised, but they quickly realized what was happening, nodded, and waited for Sir Zeng to step down while holding the documents.
Since the two were of high rank, they sat in the first row below the conference room with two other senior assistant directors and six assistant directors. So the other police officers who left earlier did not notice this scene.
But the division chiefs and important department heads sitting in the first two rows all noticed this...
But these officers did not show it too obviously. After packing their things, they left along with the flow of people.
After all the police officers in the conference room left, Zeng Xiangrong and Deputy Director of Operations Wu Sir walked down the stage together.
Another deputy director of management usually sits on the long table at the podium, sitting on the left and right sides of Zeng Xiangrong with Sir Wu. However, the Deputy Director of Management "Sir Liang" did not follow. Instead, he nodded and smiled and left the conference room alone.
Zeng Xiangrong came down and shouted to Li Shaoze and the other two, "Aze."
"Wen Bin."
"Come on, let's go have a cup of tea and talk."
"Yes, Director!"
Li Shaoze and Li Wenbin stood at attention and saluted, and followed Zeng Xiangrong and Wu Sir together.
Although Sir Zeng hasn't said anything yet, just looking at this battle, the two of them already had an obvious answer in their hearts.
Today is the time to reveal the answer!
Da da da.
Sir Zeng and Sir Wu were in front, and the two Sirs Li were behind. They followed the corridor at the door and arrived at a reception room on the left side of the top floor.
When Zeng Xiangrong pushed open the glass door of the reception room, he saw Lu Minghua wearing a suit, sitting on the main seat, making tea with a leisurely expression.
"Sir Lu."
"Sir Lu!"
Zeng said hello to Rong Xian and Lu Minghua. He was not surprised by Lu Minghua's appearance. It could be seen that Lu Minghua had been sitting here for a long time, waiting for them to finish the meeting.
Naturally, Sir Wu was not surprised either.
Only Li Shaoze and Li Wenbin sounded a little surprised when they greeted each other.
Then Zeng Xiangrong and Li Wenbin sat on Lu Minghua's left hand side, one behind the other. Wu Sir and Li Shaoze sat on the right side of Lu Minghua, one behind the other.
When the four of them were seated together, Lu Minghua poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of them. Then he spread his hands and said, "Come, drink tea."
"Thank you, sir."
Gulu.
Gulu.
There was a sound of soft sipping of tea in the reception room.
The director's secretary also came to the door of the reception room at this time, with his hands folded on his chest to guard the door.
The four top decision-makers of the police force were a little too obedient in front of Lu Minghua, but Lu Minghua seemed to be used to this attitude.
I saw him leaning on the armrest with one hand, holding his chin, nodding and saying with a slight smile: "Sir Zeng, please speak."
Zeng Xiangrong held the tea cup with a sullen face, but his eyes were actually bitterer than the tea. But there is no way. Things that have been settled by the upper level, whether it is said earlier or later, it will be the same.
He slowed down and turned his gaze to Sir Wu opposite him, and said, "It's like this. Sir Wu will retire honorably at the end of next month. The position of deputy director of operations will be vacant, and two senior operations officers will be appointed. Born among the Assistant Directors.”
"These two senior assistant division chiefs are the two Sirs Li."
"After detailed discussions between the Security Bureau and the Police Force, we have made a decision that the position of Deputy Director of Operations will be taken over by Senior Assistant Director Li Shaoze!"
Li Shaoze put down his tea cup, stood up from the sofa with a clatter, raised his hands in salute to Zeng Xiangrong and Lu Minghua, and shouted loudly: "Thank you for your trust, sir. Shaoze will do his best to protect the safety of the citizens of Hong Kong Island!"
The slogans were shouted really loudly.
Lu Minghua smiled and raised his hand to motion for him to sit down.
Li Shaoze then put down his hands and sat back down, feeling secretly happy.
Come on.
It’s finally here.
He is one step closer to being the first brother!
Zeng Xiangrong raised his eyebrows and felt a little twisted when he saw Li Shaoze standing at attention and saluting.
Li Wenbin held his breath, put his hands under his legs, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Zeng Xiangrong originally had something to say, but after seeing Li Shaoze's excited look, he suddenly lost interest in talking and finally said: "This is the decision of the superiors."
Lu Minghua took over the conversation at the right time, patted his thigh and said: "This decision will be sent to China next month, and it will be signed 100% of the time."
"The effective date of the decision is the same day as Sir Wu's retirement date, which is at the end of next month."
"Aze, please don't spread rumors."
Lu Minghua said the last sentence in a joking tone.
He said not to spread it indiscriminately, but in fact everyone knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden. As soon as everyone walked out of this reception room, I'm afraid the news would immediately spread all over the sky.
However, since Li Shaoze got an advantage, of course he didn't dare to act like a good boy anymore. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Sir Lu."
"I'll keep my mouth shut."
"Um."
Lu Minghua nodded, turned around and looked around. The atmosphere seemed heavy...
So he put down his legs, put the tea cup away, stood up, tidied his clothes and said, "Okay, now that I've finished notifying you, I'll leave first."
"Sir, walk slowly."
The four of them stood up at the same time and wanted to see Sir Lu off, but Lu Minghua made a gesture to stop them and said: "You guys stay, there is no need to see him off."
Immediately afterwards, the four of them really didn't dare to take a step and could only watch Lu Minghua disappear into the corridor alone.
Afterwards, Li Shaoze and Wu Sir greeted Zeng Xiangrong together, put on their hats and left the conference room.
The two of them laughed as they walked, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Only Zeng Xiangrong and Li Wenbin were left in silence, making the conference room feel more solemn.
"well."
Ten seconds later, Zeng Xiangrong stood up and sighed, patted Li Wenbin on the shoulder, stood up and said, "There's nothing I can do."
"I understand, sir."
"It's because I don't have the ability."
Li Wenbin sat in his seat and laughed twice, taking the pot without hesitation...
I can't accept it.
Zeng Xiangrong had already supported him enough.
Supported him all the way to the position of senior assistant director.
If you want to continue to hold on, it's really not up to the "first brother" of the police force.
Could he still blame Zeng Xiangrong?
Zeng Xiangrong heard Li Wenbin's answer, shook his head and said, "Don't say that."
"alright."
"Relax."
"I'll take the first step."
Zeng Xiangrong was relieved when he saw that Li Wenbin's attitude was still respectful and that the wolf in the Central District had not turned into a white-eyed wolf in the Central District.
He has no responsibility for things reaching this point, and neither does Li Wenbin. It's just that the gap between people is too big. If you are good enough, there are people better than you.
So only the one who is the best and the most sudden is qualified to take the top position!
Li Shaoze is the best one.
Li Wenbin is just a subordinate who is easy to use and good enough.
Compared with another person, there is still a gap.
"Just accept it."
"Li Wenbin."
After Zeng Xiangrong left, Li Wenbin sighed, put on his police hat, stood up and walked out of the reception room.
Li Shaoze returned to the Criminal Department, walked into the office area, waved to Wang Suxian inside and said: "Axian, call all departments in the department."
"Notify all the guys, I'm buying lunch."
Wang Suxian was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said, "All departments?"
This means that it includes the entire Criminal and Security Department, a total of eight large departments with hundreds of employees.
I'm afraid only Sir Li would treat such a generous lunch.
"yes."
"You should be tired of the food in the General Administration after eating it for a long time. Let's give the guys a change."
“Would you like some of the Peninsula Hotel’s VIP fast food? Is it really good?”
Li Shaoze chuckled, took out a cigarette and lit it, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Zhao Jianguo, who was standing nearby, looked a little stunned and asked: "How come there is fast food in the Peninsula Hotel?"
Li Shaoze put his hand to his ear, made a phone call gesture, waved his hand and said, "Call the front desk and tell me my name."
"I said yes."
Wang Suxian turned his eyes, probably guessing something, picked up the document and patted Zhao Jianguo on the shoulder: "You talk so much."
Zhao Jianguo quickly lowered his head and said: "Then I will do something."
Li Shaoze chuckled and turned back to the office.
Soon, the news that Sir Li treated everyone to a luxurious fast food at noon spread throughout the Criminal and Security Departments.
Even people from other departments of the General Administration heard it and were envious in their hearts...
noon.
VIP fast food delivery at Peninsula Hotel.
Chen Jiaju, Zhao Jianguo, Lin Zhengfeng, Shi Weihao, He Haowen, Liu Jianming, Song Zijie and others were all holding paper set meals. A bunch of people crowded into Sir Li's office, wanting to know what Li Sir said.
One by one, they were making suggestions and trying to find out what good news Mr. Li had.
Some people guessed it was a child, some people guessed it was a lottery win, and some even guessed it was a grandchild.
When everyone finally asked about the Deputy Director of Operations, Li Shaoze put down his chopsticks, shook his head in a mysterious manner and said, "Oh, don't guess."
"Sir Lu won't let me say it!"
Chen Jiaju, Zhao Jianguo and others looked at each other, and their faces immediately showed joy.
Really hammered!
Sir Li is going to take over!
After a lunch was finished, the entire Criminal and Security Department staff soon knew the news.
hey-hey.
When Sir Lu is here, listen to Sir Lu. When Sir Lu is not there, Sir Li will of course do what he likes.
Isn’t it just a piece of news?
I dare not say anything!
Sooner or later he will be the biggest in this territory!
