Six-thirty.
"Is the new boss here?" General Administration, Director's Office.
Zhuang Shikai was wearing a white uniform and the title of Division Chief. He stood in front of a large mirror and adjusted his hat slightly.
"The big boss has already checked into the Intercontinental Hotel." Meako stood beside her and leaned over to fasten the buttons for the director.
She looked at the commander with reverence in her eyes.
"Yes." Zhuang Shikai looked at himself in the mirror. He was upright, handsome, majestic, and calm. The more he looked at him, the more he looked like a high-ranking official.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get the hat for me."
"Yes, sir." Meiko turned around and took out a police hat of extraordinary design and exquisite workmanship from the cabinet.
Zhuang Shikai frowned slightly when he saw the hat she had taken, and shouted in displeasure: "What time is it tonight! Are you still taking this slave hat? Give me another one!"
"Yes! Sir!" Meako quickly responded to the order, put down the crown hat of the British Hong Kong Government with a scepter embroidered on it, and took out a "Special Special Administrative Region Director's Hat" with an upright style, majesty and solemnity, with redbud flowers embroidered on the brim.
Even if Director Zhuang just scolded her slightly with slight dissatisfaction, she would quickly correct the mistake, but today's Director was extremely dignified! Even if it’s just a sip! It was also frightening to the point where Meazi was flustered, feeling a little distracted and trembling.
A solemn man is the most attractive!
At this moment, Meiko put on the police cap of "Hong Kong Island Brother", and consciously took out the SAR Government's Commissioner of Police epaulettes and put it on "Brother No. 1".
Change the police cap and epaulets! Zhuang Shikai completely transformed and became the Commissioner of Police of the Hong Kong SAR Government and the first brother of the Hong Kong Government after the return!
Today, he will take the Commissioner of Police's special car No. 1 to the Hong Kong Island Convention and Exhibition Center to personally participate in the century ceremony of Hong Kong Island's return with famous figures from all walks of life in Hong Kong, the chief executive of the SAR government, and the chief minister of the country. And in this extremely sacred and solemn historic moment! Naturally, he has to take the most solemn attitude!
Not only did he look dignified in his clothes, he also changed into the SAR government logo in advance! Demonstrate your special political power and show your respect and love for the motherland!
Why is this move a reflection of political power? Because among all the senior officials of the British government in Hong Kong and those who will continue to serve in the SAR government, he is the only one who has the strength and courage to wear the SAR uniform and enter the venue in advance, which is enough to prove his strong political influence without fear of ghosts.
In addition, this kind of behavior is not something everyone can do. Others may be "clever" and may cause "fear in the mainland", but "Zhuang Sheng" had devoted himself to the motherland twenty years ago, made many achievements for the motherland, and made great contributions to the Chinese people in Hong Kong Island.
This feeling is the capital that "Zhuang Sheng" dares to show off.
As the leader of the Chinese community in Hong Kong, he only has glory but no suppression! Suppressing him will only chill the hearts of all Chinese people in Hong Kong.
Only he can go out of his way! He is the only one with exceptional strength! Not to mention appearing hours in advance, even wearing the SAR uniform one second in advance is a powerful statement!
At this time, Mr. Zhuang turned sideways in front of the mirror to look at the left side, and then turned sideways to look at the right side. He was very satisfied with the effects of both sides.
Needless to say, the Division Chief's uniform must be ironed as well as new. After putting on the police cap and epaulettes, he felt even more satisfied.
"Not bad! This uniform looks much better when worn."
Director Zhuang nodded in admiration.
"Sir Zhuang, as far as I know, you are the youngest and most handsome among the guests attending the ceremony." Meiko raised her head and looked up at this man with shining eyes.
In the past, when he helped Mr. Zhuang change his uniform, he would always take the opportunity to rub his hands, touch his chest muscles, rub his abdominal lines and so on.
However, today, she was very well-behaved.
"Young, handsome, and powerful...you don't need to talk nonsense like this in the future." Zhuang Shikai responded calmly.
"By the way, bring me the gun bag and the gun." Director Zhuang left the mirror with satisfaction and suddenly raised his hand and said.
"Sir Zhuang, what are you doing with a gun during today's handover celebration? The entire Hong Kong police force plus the Hong Kong garrison, aircraft and cannons, tens of thousands of guns, it's impossible to lack one for you, right?" Meazi said something, and turned around to get the gun bag. .
Zhuang Shikai waited for her to tie the gun bag, then filled the gun with bullets and inserted the gun into the gun bag.
"Those aircraft and cannons are used to deal with the outside world. Inside the venue, haha, we have to guard against people being cautious!" Zhuang Shikai patted his gun bag and said with satisfaction: "And I'm not used to not carrying a gun."
He used the hem of his uniform to hide his gun bag, but the waist of his uniform was bulging, clearly hiding something. Although the gun bag will affect the fit of the uniform, it further demonstrates the majesty of the disciplined forces officer! Daunting!
Overall, there can be no problems with the return ceremony, because return is about ushering in results, not blowing the charge. All problems have been solved through negotiation and struggle, without exception, and it cannot be delayed until now!
However, some people's children always like to be petty. If someone dares to tease the Chinese and delay time, haha, then Mr. Zhuang will have to control the situation.
He didn't believe that someone would dare to be cautious even if he was carrying a gun. If something like this happened, he had to put an end to it in advance.
….
"Come with me to the Intercontinental Hotel to meet the new boss." At this time, Zhuang Shikai opened the door and left in a hurry.
Under the escort of a group of security police officers, he took Cai Yuanqi, Zhuo Jingquan, and Meazi to the Intercontinental Hotel.
At this moment, mainland bosses and the future top executives of the Hong Kong SAR government are gathering in the InterContinental Hotel to talk and laugh and dominate national affairs.
In the evening, at 8 o'clock, the big guys will take buses to the "Hong Kong Island Convention and Exhibition Center" in batches. Within half an hour, high-level officials from both China and the UK will enter the lobby on the fifth floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center.
Half an hour later, other guests and representatives from all walks of life entered the venue.
From ten o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, the Hong Kong Island Honorary Return/Sino-British Regime Handover Ceremony will be held in the lobby on the fifth floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center. The whole world will witness the return of Hong Kong Island to the embrace of the motherland and the great national spirit of peaceful return.
"Camera No. 1 is aimed at the podium on the stage."
"Camera No. 2/3 are aimed at the flag-raising platforms on both sides."
"Attention No. 4, remember to give Chief Executive Dong and Director Zhuang a close-up! The leader has told us to have a big close-up!" At this moment, in the conference center, the on-site director held the drawings and stood in the venue with a serious face and scolded Fang Qiu pointed at Jiangshan, spitting like stars everywhere.
The photographers at various locations did not mind, immediately adjusted their position, fine-tuned the angle, and went all out to do the return live broadcast.
On the other side, there are the police force, customs, corrections department and other disciplinary forces.
All members of the disciplined forces received the badges and epaulettes of the SAR Government one after another. As soon as the twelve o'clock bell rang, they had to wear the emblem of the SAR Government!
Especially the police force! Other disciplinary departments have fewer people on duty late at night.
Most public officials can go to work the next day and wear the SAR government logo properly.
The plaques in front of various government department buildings will be replaced with plaques of the Special Administrative Region Government by a unified labor company late at night. Each department represents the "Special Zone" and the new "China" brand has been prepared. The SAR government buildings and government offices are also ready and can open for business the next day.
Only the police force! There are the most people on duty late at night. There are marine police on duty at every police station, every street, every shopping mall, avenue, and even docks and sea areas!
There are countless people on duty in military uniforms, transportation, and serious cases!
According to statistics, there are more than 3,000 police officers on duty tonight, and everyone will line up to change their clothes to welcome the sacred moment.
"When the time comes, there will be reporters from the mainland, as well as reporters from TVB and other TV stations." In a police station, an inspector was lecturing his team members and subordinates: "Those reporters will randomly shoot scenes on the streets. As soon as twelve o'clock comes, everything will stop immediately." Go to work, line up to salute and change your clothes! Don’t embarrass the Hong Kong Island Police!
"This is the celebration of the century... Mr. Zhuang is sitting in the venue. If you embarrass him, you will not be spared..."
"I will personally participate in the patrol tonight. I will bring all the police badges and shoulder straps. If someone comes to take pictures, remember to smile... Whether you are ugly or not is not your own business... Show your best spirit for me, you know!! !" The inspection team leader roared loudly.
"Yes, sir!" The team members stood up and shouted.
Tonight, the police department is on standby at various street intersections and important places, and all members of the Flying Tigers are on standby. Not to mention the troublemakers, the thieves and thieves all went home on temporary vacation to watch the live broadcast.
Soon, Zhuang Shikai arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel, and a group of security personnel stayed in the lobby. He led Cai Yuanqi and others through the national security inspection and took the elevator upstairs to visit the new boss.
At this moment, the entire InterContinental Hotel is booked and under martial law.
In the VIP suite on the top floor, in the conference room, a gentleman with an elegant face and glasses in a suit stood up and said: "Director Zhuang!"
He extended his hand enthusiastically.
Zhuang Shikai shook hands with him first, then stood at attention and saluted loudly: "Hello, boss!"
The elegant man looked him up and down, patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and praised: "Good! Good! Good!"
"I didn't expect that I could still see the country's epaulettes and police badges at twelve o'clock! The boss told me that I was right... Director Zhuang is indeed a young and promising comrade who is loyal to the motherland! Hahaha, why don't you come and have tea now? Wearing a military uniform, the gun is not removed."
"Come on, come on, Director Zhuang, sit down and have two cups of tea with Mr. Dong, Director Huang and me. We'll go there together at eight o'clock." The elegant man sat back on the independent sofa in the middle and greeted him in a decent manner. After greeting each other, Zhuang Shikai nodded to Mr. Dong and Mr. Huang, then sat down on a sofa on the right.
Everyone chatted for a while, communicating about the development of the special zone and public security. During this period, many civil servants, secretariat personnel, and staff from the Return Preparatory Office came in one after another, reported matters, and left immediately.
Only Director Zhuang and a few other people sat all the time and accompanied him throughout the whole process!
At 7:40 pm, the group went downstairs to the basement and took their own cars to the "Convention and Exhibition Center".
On the way, half of the road was closed, traffic police cleared the way, and the green light went straight to the gate of the Convention and Exhibition Center.
In front of the gate, the red carpet was laid out, and thousands of media from all over the world were waiting at a distance, holding their cameras high and aiming at the gate.
The first one to arrive at the convention and exhibition center was the boss's motorcade. It was a small motorcade, with a total of three Hongqi bulletproof cars, and they were all identical cars... all with the curtains drawn to prevent prying eyes.
Only one of the cars was occupied by the boss, and the remaining two were occupied by Zhongnanhai's bodyguards.
"Boss, get out of the car!" Li Jie opened the door, took the team members out of the car, came to the front of the car, bowed and said to the boss.
"Click! Click!" Countless exposure lights turned on, and the cameras converged. The boss, wearing a suit, walked steadily and got out of the car with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, special car No. 1 with a black plate on a white background and the chief executive's special car arrived at the scene at the same time. Zhuang Shikai and Mr. Dong got off the car at the same time under the protection of security personnel, smiled at each other and walked into the scene.
"Click! Click!" The sound of exposure was heard again, but reporters from all over the world were orderly and well-behaved, and would not make a fuss.
At this moment, no one from the British team has arrived at the scene! It’s not that they don’t want to arrive, it’s that they can’t arrive! The overt and covert struggle under the return ceremony has already begun. Zhuang Shikai firmly holds the initiative!
