Zhuang Shikai asked Zhuo Jingquan to lead the security team to guard the door as a backup strategy to prevent extreme situations in the conference room.
After all, the person sitting most in the conference room is the ghost guy! Never fully trust! You must always be wary of the ghost guy!
It is necessary to have a team of armed police officers guarding the gate.
Didn't he arrange Zhuo Jingquan to break into the Security Department just to control the core within the General Administration?
"call…"
Zhuang Shikai drove away from the headquarters and returned directly to Repulse Bay, the manor mansion.
"Aunt Chen."
"Boil a pot of sugar water."
Zhuang Shikai took off his leather shoes, walked into the living room, hung his suit on the wall, and shouted loudly.
The servant in the room was a little surprised, but immediately replied: "Okay, Zhuang Sheng."
She didn't know how "Mr. Zhuang" could go to work in the morning and drive home at noon, saying he wanted to make sugar water?
You know, "Zhuangsheng" is often not at home at this time, and even "Madam" is out on business. There is only a group of bodyguards and servants in the manor.
But Aunt Chen still walked to the living room, bowed politely, walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started boiling sugar water for the boss.
The so-called sugar water is dessert.
It's really weird to eat at lunch.
Zhuang Shikai was in a good mood today. He said he wanted to boil sugar water, so he had to boil sugar water. He was about to boil sugar water while waiting for news.
If the news is not good, haha, then he will invite the "Korean manager" to his home to drink sugar water and sit down and have a good chat.
At that time, the Hong Kong Governor will inevitably know about the relationship between "Sir Han" and "Sir Zhuang"...
Tsk tsk, it’s as sweet as “sugar water”!
I wonder what Sir Han will do?
"Lunchtime News." Living room, large off-white sofa.
Zhuang Shikai leaned on the sofa, picked up a newspaper, crossed his legs, opened the newspaper, and read it with relish.
Victoria Peak.
Hong Kong Governor's Office.
"Zhuang Shikai wants to be promoted to Assistant Director?"
When Melis received the news from the Political Department, his expression was particularly shocked.
"Yes, sir."
The Secretary of the Hong Kong Governor held the document with a cautious expression and answered loudly.
Melis put down the pen and took a deep breath: "The speed is too fast!"
The Secretary of the Hong Kong Governor remained silent and did not dare to interrupt.
Melis then sighed: "Sir Han did his best!"
He knew that Zhuang Shikai stirred up troubles and had long been prepared for the position of "Assistant Director". However, every upgrade of Zhuang Shikai was not decided by them, but by him!
Although South Korea tried its best to stop him, the police force was alone and unable to stop Zhuang Shikai.
"well."
"It's really embarrassing for Sir Han." Melis sighed softly: "He is already powerful. Once he becomes assistant director, he will enter the decision-making level."
"I'm afraid no one in the police force can stop him!"
Thinking of this, Melis felt even more sorry for "Sir Han".
You know, "Sir Han" is a general he transferred from his ancestral family, and he will never be corrupted so quickly! After all, the enemy is still too strong and the reality is grim!
"The voting within the police force should have been completed now, and the result..." the Hong Kong Governor's secretary reminded.
Malis chuckled and said, "Will the result change?"
"I hope he votes yes!"
Melis suddenly waved his hand: "Now we can't rely solely on the police force!"
"I must give stronger support to Korea!"
"I want to amend the law!" A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he finally figured it out!
He wants to use more direct and powerful means to intervene in the police force!
"Unanimous vote in favor!"
"Hong Kong Island Region, Chief Superintendent Mr. Zhuang Shikai recommended the appointment of assistant director through a vote, and the decision-makers all approved." The secretary of the director announced in public with a calm tone.
"Wow." There was a burst of applause in the conference room.
Han Guoli lowered his head, quickened his pace, and left in a hurry.
The rest of the Ghost Guy executives also left in small groups and quickly left.
They seem ashamed?
But my inner mood is very stable, as if I think it is normal for "Mr. Zhuang" to get promoted...
After the decision-making level votes, the police force still needs to sign a document, make it public to the public, and go through a set of promotion procedures before the promotion is truly completed.
The vote passed today, and it will take another week or two to complete the process, which will roughly be scheduled for April 15th.
"Sir Zhuang."
"The vote passed." Five minutes later, in the living room of the villa, Zhuang Shikai reached for the phone and heard the joyful congratulations from the phone. He smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay."
"knew."
Sir Zhuang was not surprised by this answer, while Zhou Huabiao said solemnly: "Congratulations, sir!"
"Congratulations on becoming the first Chinese police officer with the rank of director!"
Although the Assistant Director is not yet the "First Brother", the Assistant Director is not the "Assistant to the Director". At any rate, the word "Director" is used, which is almost equivalent to reaching the highest level of the police force. He is one step away from the "First Brother". The real location is only three steps away! It can be said that it is so close!
Therefore, after Zhou Huabiao and other Chinese police officers received the news, their hearts were filled with excitement, counting down the days until "Sir Zhuang" would be promoted to "First Brother".
However, Zhuang Shikai said disdainfully on the phone: "Does the first Chinese police officer with the rank of director sound weird?"
"You shouted so loudly, I thought I was the director!"
"Don't make such a fuss. Starting from the Chinese superintendent, at what level am I not number one?"
Zhou Huabiao's expression froze, and he apologized with a smile: "Sorry sir, I lost my temper."
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's call Aqi and Ah Rong and drink some sugar water together at home." How could Zhuang Shikai be serious with Zhou Huabiao? He immediately said with a smile.
Zhou Huabiao immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, sir!"
It’s a blessing to be able to drink sugar water at Sir Zhuang’s house!
"Bah." Zhuang Shikai hung up the phone, raised his head and said, "Aunt Chen, make some more abalone, shark's fin, and sea cucumber."
“Let’s treat our brothers at noon!”
It was now approaching noon, and it would be at least 11:30 by the time Zhou Huabiao and others arrived at Repulse Bay.
At this point, if someone were to drink sugar water, it would seem that Mr. Zhuang is not grand enough!
We don’t have any good food at home, so we can only grab some seafood to entertain friends and have a make-do lunch.
"Okay, Zhuang Sheng." Aunt Chen greeted, and the whole kitchen became busy.
Since the police department performed well, the sugar water served to Sir Han ended up in the mouths of Zhou Huabiao and others...
"Congratulations! Sir Zhuang has been promoted to Assistant Director!" Half an hour later, Zhou Huabiao, Cai Yuanqi, Li Shutang, and Zeng Xiangrong came together and stood at the door, dressed in white uniforms, and bowed in unison.
Zhuang Shikai put down the newspaper, raised his head and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, you're welcome, sit down and drink the sugar water first."
One o'clock at noon.
Zhuang Shikai and the four superintendents finished lunch in the restaurant at home, sitting around the oval dining table, each picking their teeth.
"Sir Zhuang."
"Today's soft-boiled abalone is pretty good."
Zhou Huabiao said with a happy face.
Zhuang Shikai understood immediately: "Wait and take a box with you!"
“The sea cucumber is also very good.”
Cai Yuanqi spoke at the right time.
"Wait a minute and take a box with you too!"
"Um, um... do you have a box of shark fins?"
Zeng Xiangrong refused to be outdone.
Zhuang Shikai glanced at him: "Do you want one shark?"
Li Shutang silently shut up.
Zhuang Shikai put down his dental floss and said aloud with a contented look on his face: "I invite you guys to have hot pot together on Friday. Arong, Shutang, you guys can make arrangements then."
Since the "Sir Zhuang" was relatively strong during this promotion process, there is no need to be too public after the promotion to avoid arousing public opinion.
Of course, this promotion will inevitably stimulate the Hong Kong Governor.
It is very likely that the Hong Kong Governor is already thinking of ways to deal with him.
Once you get the benefits, you can keep a low profile for the time being, and you won’t lose anything.
"yes."
"Sir." Li Shutang and Zeng Xiangrong responded.
Zhuang Shikai nodded: "Just follow the recommendations on the list."
This reduced the number of people to twenty or thirty people. Not to mention renting a restaurant, there was no need to rent a restaurant on the first floor. A simple small box and two or three tables could be used.
Those who are qualified to participate in the "Assistant Commissioner" promotion banquet are all the backbone of the police force, high-level bosses, and newcomers.
They are all candidates that Mr. Zhuang should keep in mind and focus on cultivating and promoting.
For example, this time, they all got promoted!
Zhou Huabiao thought in his mind: "Master Zhuang, you have just finished your job. Korean managers probably won't let it go. There is such a large list of promotions..."
"Some we can decide, some we can't."
"Is there going to be a problem?"
From Uncle Biao's point of view, there is nothing wrong with his idea. On the contrary, he is very thoughtful.
Zeng Xiangrong also nodded and said: "There are several promotions to chief inspectors and appointments to promotion to superintendent. It will be very troublesome if South Korea fails to approve them."
When Sir Zhuang gets promoted, he can open the way with fists and kicks, and use his merits and money to hit people.
But one person is different from a group of people.
There is a gap between the two.
Zhuang Shikai took out a box of cigarettes, held it in his mouth and said, "Trouble is about to rise!"
"Sir Zhuang, fire." Li Shutang took out a lighter, lit a flame, and stepped forward to light a cigarette.
"Huh." Sir Zhuang nodded slightly, moved his mouth, and held the pipe: "According to reliable information, Melis has recently ordered the Chief Secretary to take many actions. Not only did he organize the revision of middle school textbooks, but he also went on a rampage in the Ministry of Security and the Department of Justice. Promote your subordinates, especially the Department of Justice!”
In the past, the Department of Justice also had some old "Ge Bai" friends, "friends" who were close to Sir Zhuang.
But now, ICAC is carrying out a large-scale purge, arresting and reprimanding, and no one with influence is left, only a few eyes and ears are left.
"He is relying on the promulgation of the "Joint Declaration" to unscrupulously clean up the internal affairs and strengthen the centralization of power in the Hong Kong Governor's Office!"
"In this case! Sir Zhuang also wants to strengthen the centralization of the police force! Promote a large number of subordinates to create a strategic counterbalance."
"Understood." Zhou Huabiao and others nodded, roughly understanding what Sir Zhuang was thinking.
However, it is not troublesome for Sir Zhuang to promote his subordinates. The real trouble is yet to come.
That night.
Mr. Governor of Hong Kong received a call from Downing Street.
"Strengthen the influence of British laws on all areas of Hong Kong Island!"
"Bury mine!"
"Strike Zhuang Shikai!"
To the "British side", these two orders meant "laying mines" and the other "digging mines".
These are two things that must be done before returning.
