That afternoon, Zeng Xiangrong returned to the headquarters wearing a uniform.
He ignored the police officers' greetings and quietly returned to the director's office alone.
"Sir Zeng has been reinstated?"
With his appearance, news of Zeng Xiangrong's reinstatement immediately spread throughout the police station.
An internal email regarding his reinstatement was quickly distributed to various departments in the police force.
Sir Wu's short term as "Director" has ended.
Zeng Xiangrong sat on the sofa chair in the director's office again.
This time, the term of director is only one week, which is of no importance to Sir Wu.
Anyway, he is retiring soon. It doesn't make much difference whether he is the "first brother" for a day or a month.
As long as you have done it, you have earned it!
But for Zeng Xiangrong, everything has changed.
For the first time, he felt that the chair in the director's office was so cold and the police officers in the headquarters were so unfamiliar.
Looking at the surrounding environment, it was clear that nothing had changed, but he knew that only people's hearts had changed.
Of course, this incident had a great impact on Sir Li.
Because after Li Shaoze was promoted to deputy director of operations at the end of the month, his plan to directly take over as acting director fell through.
He also wants to transition to being the "Director" for a year and a half, and then directly become the "First Brother" next year!
Who knew things wouldn't go that smoothly at all...
Zeng Xiangrong stayed in the office for an hour and then called for a decision-making meeting.
He was talking in this meeting, and his subordinates were looking at Sir Li.
As long as Sir Li has objections to Zeng Xiangrong's speech, the police force's decision-makers will definitely support him very firmly and vote against Zeng Xiangrong.
Fortunately, Sir Li was very considerate, and Zeng Xiangrong was not held accountable for humiliating himself.
Instead, after briefly asking about the current situation of the General Administration, he thanked Sir Wu and immediately adjourned the meeting.
End of month.
Deputy Director of Operations Sir Wu retired.
Zeng Xiangrong held a constitutional committee-level meeting and officially announced that Li Shaoze would take over the position of Deputy Director of Operations of the Police Department.
After the meeting that day, the appointment email was sent to all departments of the police force.
Li Shaoze's office was moved to the 25th floor, a dedicated office of the Deputy Director of Operations.
This floor is the second-highest floor of the General Administration. There are only two offices under the top floor, which are used by the two deputy directors of operations and management respectively.
In addition, there are two reception rooms, two lounges, five conference rooms, two secretarial offices, tea rooms, bathrooms, etc. on the floor...
The area is large and the layout is full!
The "Criminal and Security Department" is currently in charge of Sir Li, while the "Operations Department" is in charge of Luo Peiquan.
After Zeng Xiangrong hooked up with the Department of Justice, Zeng Xiangrong has always behaved very calmly.
As a result, Sir Li couldn't find any reason to continue messing with him.
However, after some follow-up investigations, Sir Li became very clear that there must be a key exchange of interests in the Department of Justice's assistance to Zeng Xiangrong.
Given Tsang Xiangrong's status and background, it is unlikely that the exchange was a commercial one. It could only be an exchange of interests in the police force.
What does the exchange of police force interests mean?
Then exchange it for Li Shaoze's interests!
How could Li Shaoze give up? A pair of eyes fixed on Zeng Xiangrong!
Soon he discovered that Zeng Xiangrong had stated that he would keep to himself, secretly supported Liu Jiehui, and employed a large number of members of the "Political Department" such as Yang Jinrong. The accident gave those guys who had been sitting on the bench for a long time a second spring in their careers.
Sir Li wanted to try to discipline Liu Jiehui and others, hoping to press them firmly to the floor and rub them.
But he immediately discovered that the rules of the management department and the action department were different. As long as the feathers were cherished and the official documents were beautifully made, they were basically impeccable.
What's more, Liu Jiehui was a civilian, and he was really good at police welfare, image promotion, and budgeting. He did everything perfectly and would not give Sir Li a chance to catch him.
In desperation, Li Shaoze could only wait for the opportunity and start arranging things within the operations department.
The Deputy Director of Operations is about to help Ma Zai get into position!
…
Three years later.
Island area, experimental island.
Extreme Gem Research Institute!
Li Shaoze was wearing a suit, and on the left and right stood Professor Jiang Si and Assistant Professor Da Vinci.
The remaining thirty or so expert members of the project team all stood behind the big boss and followed him to visit the test results.
That's right, after years of experimental research on extreme gems, we finally have some experimental results.
This made Li Shaoze, who was standing in the core area of the undersea laboratory, feel a little excited.
Of course, Professor Jiang Si and others were also very excited. However, their excitement stems from the sense of accomplishment in scientific experiments, while Sir Li's excitement stems from the excitement about "power" and "authority".
I saw Professor Jiang Si looking at Da Vinci next to him after exchanging a few words with the big boss.
At this time, Da Vinci suddenly took out a small comb, combed his bald head with a pretentious expression, coughed twice, opened a document and said: "Big boss, we have determined it after research. You sent it three years ago. That real gem, it can bend all the rules of reality, such as turning a mouse into a fish, and turning a fish into a beautiful woman."
"Um."
Li Shaoze nodded, not thinking that Da Vinci was talking nonsense.
After all, others always need a starting point, and results reports need to start from the source.
It's just that the laboratory's idea is very bold.
At first he only dared to turn a pen into a gun, but this group of Frankensteins even dared to turn into a mermaid.
correct.
What about mermaids?
Li Shaoze looked back and forth and saw no mermaid in the laboratory.
No one would have thought that that beautiful mermaid had become a "sashimi dinner" and fell into the mouths of Jiang Si and Da Vinci, a group of evil scientists.
Da Vinci continued: "But after the action of real gems, there will be a counter-thrust force in reality. To explain simply, this is equivalent to the interaction of forces."
"So every time the real gem's effect is activated, there's going to be some destructive power all around."
"The greater the influence of the real gem, the more destructive it will be."
Li Shaoze's expression remained unchanged, and he murmured in his heart: "No wonder the laboratory's funding has soared in recent years, and there are always reports saying that there is no money to use."
"However, after research, it was found that as long as the power gem is activated when the real gem is activated, part of the reverse thrust will be eliminated by the power gem."
"This level of digestion is about one-fifth."
"Does this mean that the laboratory can deduct one-fifth of the funding?"
Li Shaoze chuckled in his heart and immediately said: "Continue."
Da Vinci's expression perked up, he pointed at the two extreme gems on the core center, and said the highlight of the test results: "After long-term research and screening in the laboratory, it has been determined that metal is the most effective material carrier for stimulating extreme gems. "
"Immediately, we collected hundreds of thousands of metal varieties for testing and screening, and finally found that a rare metal found five thousand meters underground is almost perfect for driving the ultimate gem power."
"Its name and composition are very complicated. Our laboratory calls it infinite metal!"
"As long as the infinite metal is separated to the nanometer level, it can be constructed into a weapon for you to use! And it is a weapon that you can carry with you!"
Although Li Shaoze temporarily stored the Infinity Stones inside the laboratory, turning the Infinity Stones into a weapon that he could drive normally was the ultimate purpose of the entire experiment.
Therefore, the laboratory has been researching in this direction!
Li Shaoze nodded with satisfaction: "Tell me about the design of the weapon."
Da Vinci was only halfway through his introduction to success. Since he mentioned "weapons", the laboratory must have a complete vision.
Sure enough, Professor Jiang Si waved while wearing white gloves, and a huge design drawing was projected in front of everyone's eyes...
He pointed at the entire drawing and said, "Big boss, please take a look."
"This is the design drawing for the Infinity Gauntlet!"
"After we compress the infinite metal to the nanometer level, we build a chip mechanism inside to conduct power transmission."
"In this way, as you control the gloves, you can combine the powers of different extreme gems."
"Whether it is used alone or simultaneously, it is the most perfect result."
When Li Shaoze saw the glove drawing, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why is it a glove?"
"Haha, big boss."
"When a power gem appeared, I suspected that the birth of this thing was an accident, but after the second real gem appeared, I was sure that this thing existed based on science!"
"According to my calculations, he has six in total, and they have different powers."
"The glove form is not only convenient to carry and drive, but also allows different powers to converge, bringing the power of all ultimate gems to the limit!"
Scientists are scientists.
Professor Jiang Si has considered it very comprehensively, and over a long period of time, he has a very high understanding of extreme gems and can directly predict the number of extreme gems.
"good."
"Then gloves!"
Li Shaoze also gave up struggling at this time and accepted his fate.
Immediately, Jiang Si said: "It is very difficult to extract infinite metals. It requires hundreds of tons of raw ore to extract one gram of material."
"Currently, there are only three known mineral sites in the world, and we need to buy them!"
"This funding requires 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and I hope the big boss will approve it."
Li Shaoze was greatly moved when he heard these words, and said to himself: "Fortunately, I have made some money in the stock market recently."
"OK."
"That's right."
"The money will arrive tomorrow."
Jiang Si's eyes brightened, he clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, big boss."
"When you collect six gems, the Ultimate Glove will definitely give you god-like power."
Li Shaoze patted Professor Jiang Si on the shoulder and did not answer his question. Instead, he walked out of the core area of the laboratory and inspected the security department of the laboratory with Luo Minsheng waiting at the door.
The division of labor within the institute is now clear. The Security Department is in charge of "Heixia", the Scientific Research Department is in charge of Jiang Si, and the funding coordination is reviewed and approved by Luo Minsheng.
They are not subordinate to each other and report directly to Li Shaoze.
And as the experiment goes deeper, the rules must become stricter.
