Two years ago.
End of tail teeth.
Zhuang Shikai sat at the tea table, picked up the teacup, sipped the tea and asked Brother Luo: "Brother Luo, have you ever thought about taking another step forward?"
Lei Luo leaned on the chair with a white hot towel covering his forehead.
"Zhuangzi, what do you mean?"
Brother Luo took off the towel, straightened up, and asked with a solemn expression.
"Brother Luo, I just think that the Chinese cannot be oppressed by ghost guys forever! There are some things that we should fight for ourselves!" Zhuang Shikai clenched his fists, which suddenly made Lei Luo think a lot.
Currently, the highest position in the Chinese police force in Hong Kong is Inspector General Hua.
But no matter how powerful Inspector Zonghua is, he is still just a senior police chief.
Next, if we can take another step up to the level of inspector, wouldn't it be equivalent to gaining a higher rights space for the entire Chinese people on Hong Kong Island?
Hong Kong Island is finally a Hong Kong Island for the Chinese, and it can only be a Hong Kong Island for the Chinese! Lei Luo felt lonely and defeated at this time, but Zhuang Shikai pointed out a new goal for him.
Lei Luo picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea.
He put the tea cup down firmly and said in a strong voice: "Zhuang Zai! I admire you very much!"
"Inspector!"
"I'm done!"
…
Two years later.
January 1973.
A suburban stadium in the Central District.
"Oh shit!"
"Damn these ghosts!"
"Why can't I be an inspector?"
Lei Luo took the lead and shot a blast, but the football hit the threshold and flew out of the field.
Chen Xijiu quickly went to pick up the ball, while Zhuang Shikai, Lard Zai, Lin Gang, Han Sen, and Supervisor Wang stood nearby.
This was the first meeting between Zhuang Shikai and Supervisor Wang after many years.
The meeting place was at a suburban stadium, and the reason for the meeting was that Brother Luo invited him to play football.
However, now Zhuang Shikai is no longer the young police officer who entered Stanley, but is a very powerful senior detective in the Hong Kong police. He is also a big businessman and philanthropist, and has great reputation among the people of Hong Kong Island.
And he is only twenty-four years old. He is the youngest and the most handsome among the Chinese senior executives in Hong Kong.
At this moment, due to his age advantage, even Brother Luo, Lin Gang and others were standing next to him, and their temperament was not as conspicuous as his.
Of course, whether it is on ordinary occasions or on the court. As long as Brother Luo is around, no matter how majestic Zhuang Shikai is, he will deliberately keep a low profile and lag behind.
After Luo Ge scolded him, he lifted up his jersey to wipe his sweat. Lardboy reached out and handed over a bottle of mineral water and comforted him: "Brother Luo, drink some water first."
Everyone comes here specifically to play football, of course wearing jerseys and sneakers. The jersey is a welfare issue issued by the police force, and the sneakers are new models from Zhuangzi Shoe Factory.
After all, kicking waves should look like kicking waves. How about wearing a suit and leather shoes to kick waves without making people laugh? Moreover, Luo Ge really enjoys the fun of playing football and is not a pretentious person on the court.
At the scene, everyone knew that the reason why Brother Luo was angry was not that the ball was not scored, but that the ball he had accumulated for two years was not scored.
Two years ago, Zhuang Shikai ignited Brother Luo's desire to take a step forward, just to let Brother Luo explore the way ahead. Let’s see if it was possible for a Chinese to reach the inspector level in the police force before 1974.
If Luo Ge can reach the supervisor level, then there is a high possibility that he will be promoted to the supervisor level later. After all, the inspector level is a line. As long as you get to the inspector level, senior inspector, and chief inspector, you will be very fast.
Brother Luo is promoted to senior inspector, but the senior detective below cannot fill the position of inspector? In this way, Zhuang Shikai can achieve his achievements smoothly without having to bear the pressure from the front.
It can only be said that smart people are like chicken thieves, they know how to hide in the back and let the big guys come to the front to challenge.
But judging from Luo Ge's current performance, the possibility of Chinese police officers being promoted to inspectors 77 years ago has obviously been completely blocked.
Luo Ge has been preparing for three years, using the excuse of reintegrating the plainclothes team, hoping to persuade Gui Lao to raise the rank of Chief Inspector to achieve the purpose of upgrading the inspector.
During this period, Brother Luo cleared many relationships, spent a lot of money, and broke through a lot of resistance, but in the end he was rejected by the Commissioner of Police. How violent do you think Brother Luo must be?
It is said that the document vetoing the reorganization of the Chinese plainclothes unit was only rejected by the Commissioner of Police this morning. In the afternoon, Brother Luo invited everyone to play football, clearly wanting to relieve stress through playing football.
Standing nearby, Zhuang Shikai also felt a heavy pressure.
This pressure does not come from mood or an inspector, but from the change in attitude of the upper echelons of the police force.
"ICAC will be established next year."
"It's really about to rain..." Zhuang Shikai pinched the water bottle and sighed.
He did not feel frustrated that he could not be promoted to inspector before 1977. Anyway, he had two choices to achieve his achievement.
Since the first option cannot be completed.
Then the second one.
He was promoted to Chief Inspector during the reorganization of the police force in 1977. It would still take a few years, but with his current power and financial resources, he could already slowly lay out his plans.
And the reason why Brother Luo cannot be promoted to the inspector level...
He probably has it figured out.
It’s not that Brother Luo is not qualified, nor is it that Gui Lao really sticks to the bottom line that strictly.
But the upper management has sent out a strong anti-corruption signal, and now money is no longer so useful.
Sometimes I give money to higher-level ghost guys, but the ghost guys are too secretive to accept it.
This makes the role of money begin to shrink sharply...
Do you think the ghost guy above still dares to accept money to do things?
Even the internal distribution of fees within the police force is no longer as open and upright as it used to be.
First of all, Brother Luo’s monthly gatherings at home have been cancelled, and detective-level fees are remitted directly to overseas accounts.
Secondly, the police officers' dues were deposited by Lardboy at several gambling stalls, and the police officers in each jurisdiction were allowed to go to the designated gambling stalls in each jurisdiction to collect them.
As for the ghost guys' share, they can also transfer it to overseas accounts.
Anyway, no matter who you are sending money to now, all cash transactions have been cancelled, and all payments have been made to overseas accounts.
All the ghosts who dare to collect money and want to collect money are the same.
Zhuang Shikai guessed that if Brother Luo could prepare a year or two earlier, he might have been able to complete the rectification of the plainclothes team and be upgraded to an inspector.
By then, not only will his rank rise, but the status of the Chinese will also reach a higher level.
Unfortunately, the trend of the era has passed, and we can only wait for the next trend to arrive.
The money empire that dominates both black and white in Hong Kong will surely begin to come to an end after experiencing its peak.
ICAC will officially take the stage soon.
The next few years will be their time.
"Are you still playing football?" A field team composed of enthusiasts on the opposite side shouted out from a few meters away when they saw Brother Luo waiting for his uncle to stop for a long time.
Chen Xijiu hugged the ball he had just picked up and apologized to the other side: "Kick, kick, kick, start now."
"Hmph." Brother Luo snorted, and then the two sides kicked off. Lei Luo rushed all the way, and his passing attack was extremely domineering.
Chen Xijiu and Zhuang Shikai, the two best players, acted as running forwards and followed Lei Luo to charge and score.
