Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 413: Changes in Competition
The atmosphere of communication between Zhou Quan, Lu Minghua and Liu Jiehui, the three giants of the security department, can be described as quite harmonious.

Although Liu Jiehui has confirmed that he will not be the head of the security department, he has not suffered any loss either.

With his new posting in the Personnel Department and being qualified for the rank of Chief Superintendent, he will also be able to join the ranks of the police force’s management.

The most important thing is that Liu Jiehui originally came from the personnel department of the police force, and his power base is all in the personnel department.

To be precise, it should be the heritage left by Lu Minghua.

Sir Lu is about to transfer to the civil service system of the Chief Secretary, and his power within the police force will be inherited by Liu Jiehui.

Liu Jiehui had actually anticipated that he would fail in his competition with Zhou Quan for the position of head of the security department.

The bottom line is that he and Zhou Quan are not equal.

Even though Zhou Quan had just joined the police force, he had already taken the position of superintendent.

But in fact, he was transferred into the police force from the civil service system of the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

He had no foundation in the police force, but eventually caught Lu Minghua's attention because of his loyalty to the motherland and his firm stance.

On the other hand, Zhou Quan's situation was completely different.

The Li family of the police force always holds a pivotal position within the police force, no matter what period it is in.

During the Hong Kong Governor's period, the Li family's foundation in the police force was earned by old man Li Shutang after going through bloody battles.

Because Mr. Li supported his motherland, he was strongly suppressed by the foreigners in the police force, who were still very powerful at that time.

This eventually led to Mr. Li's early retirement, and Huang Bingyao and Li Wenbin both worked obediently in their respective positions for several years.

Otherwise, relying on Mr. Li’s qualifications.

Even if he is the current top police officer, he has a good chance of taking the position.

Apart from the legendary special agent from the motherland, Mr. Zeng, who was once regarded as the biggest stain by the white police force, Mr. Li is the first Chinese police officer in public.

The value of this is definitely not just talk.

As a leading figure of the third generation of the Li family in the police force, one can imagine how deep Zhou Quan’s roots within the police force are.

Most importantly, Zhou Quan has the support of not only the Li family of the police force.

The higher-level bosses in Hong Kong pay close attention to him, and this is Zhou Quan’s greatest asset.

In comparison, Liu Jiehui only relies on the support of his boss Lu Minghua, who is the person that higher-level bosses in Hong Kong pay attention to.

His situation is similar to Zhou Quan's, even slightly weaker than Zhou Quan's.

After all, Lu Minghua is just Lu Minghua, but Zhou Quan’s surname is Zhou, and it is in his blood.

To put it bluntly, from today on, Liu Jiehui is no longer qualified to compete with Zhou Quan.

Only Lu Minghua is the opponent who can truly keep pace with Zhou Quan and compete with him.

It’s just that the two of them are competing on different tracks, but in the end they both end up in the same place.

Therefore, Liu Jiehui knew very well in his heart that he still needed to rely on the support of his boss Lu Minghua.

But Zhou Quan himself is qualified to be called a big boss within the police force.

The title of "Sir Quan" in the police force is a benchmark in the minds of countless young frontline police officers.

What's more, ACP Lee and SACP Wong are also sitting in the core management of the police force.

Compared to the Security Department, which is involved in operations and administration and is like a small police force, the Human Resources Department, which was once the power base, actually fits Liu Jiehui's mind better.

Because Liu Jiehui was originally a civilian official who transferred into the police force and had never been involved in the front-line operations of the police force.

If Liu Jiehui were really to replace Lu Minghua as the head of the security department.

Although he was confident that he could do a good job, he did not have the confidence to surpass Zhou Quan's performance record when he was the operations director.

On the contrary, it is the police personnel department, which is more inclined towards administration, that allows Liu Jiehui to feel more at ease.

What's more, Liu Jiehui not only has a number of direct subordinates in the Human Resources Department.

After Lu Minghua's transfer documents are officially issued, he will also accept all of Lu Minghua's capital remaining in the police force.

As the highest-ranking Chinese officer in the police force's personnel department, the Personnel Department is undoubtedly where Lu Minghua's true foundation lies.

Even after he became the head of the security department, his core power did not change.

After all, when the Security Department replaced the Foreign Political Department, Zhou Quan, the operations director, was promoted.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Liu Jiehui failed in his competition with Zhou Quan for the position of head of the security department.

But he has no loss at all, and his future will even become brighter.

With the power and capital left by his own boss and the support of his boss in the Administrative Affairs Department, Liu Jiehui naturally prefers to take up the new position in the Personnel Department.

After all, Liu Jiehui is only away from the position of Chief Superintendent of Police by the appointment letter and the notification of commission.

It's not like he continued to work under Zhou Quan, being suppressed by Zhou Quan.

The three security giants all have a bright future, and the atmosphere between them is naturally very harmonious.

"Ah Quan, I'm in a hurry to ask you to come over. Actually, I have another matter to discuss with you."

After a lively conversation and greetings, Lu Minghua finally revealed his intention of sending someone to wait for Zhou Quan.

"Jiehui, you go ahead and say it!"

As he spoke, Lu Minghua set his sights on Liu Jiehui.

The next thing to be discussed actually has nothing to do with Lu Minghua. Liu Jiehui is the real key person.

"Sir Quan, I will be taking up my new position in the Human Resources Department soon. I don't know what you think of the position of Administrative Supervisor of the Security Department?"

Liu Jiehui thought about it for a while. He did not directly express his thoughts. Instead, he asked Zhou Quan a question.

There is now a major reorganization within the police force. Lu Minghua and Liu Jiehui have been transferred one after another, and Zhou Quan has been promoted.

By then, two senior superintendent positions will become vacant in the Security Department.

As the future head of the security department, if Zhou Quan has any opinions, the core management of the police force will seriously consider them.

After all, Zhou Quan has the trust of the top police officer, and it was the top officer who appointed Zhou Quan to take charge of the operations of the security department.

Liu Jiehui entered Lu Minghua's office earlier than Zhou Quan. He was undoubtedly more clear about the content of the police management meeting this morning.

If Liu Jiehui was promoted to Chief Superintendent of Personnel Department, it was the result of Lu Minghua's strong recommendation and discussion among the core management.

Then the promotion of Zhou Quan to Chief Superintendent of the Security Department was another direct appointment by the boss, and there was no need for any discussion at all.

Liu Jiehui knew very well how important Zhou Quan was in the hearts of the core management of the police force.
