Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 498 The boss is the boss
If Zhou Quan followed his own inner thoughts, he would certainly be willing to choose one of his brothers to be promoted to deputy director of the National Security Department.

From the expression on his boss's face, Zhou Quan could tell that he was sincerely asking for his advice and it was not just a superficial courtesy.

"Boss, if you select the best from the management of the original security department for promotion."

Without much hesitation or thinking, Zhou Quan immediately gave his answer.

"I think that the current Senior Superintendent Zhou Xingxing of the Criminal Operations Division is fully capable of taking on the important task of deputy director of the National Security Department in the future."

Zhou Xingxing from the Criminal Operations Division, Guan Wenzhan from the Internal Investigation Division, and Luo Danian from the Liaison Affairs Division.

Looking at the entire security department, they are the only three people who are qualified for promotion.

However, Luo Danian was promoted to senior superintendent in too short a time.

At the end of last year, he was awarded an additional four-pointed star due to the expansion of the security department.

At the moment, when selecting people for promotion from among the three deputy directors of the Security Department, Luo Danian is obviously not up to the mark.

Only Zhou Xingxing and Guan Wenzhan are barely qualified to be promoted to the rank of Chief Superintendent.

Compared with Guan Wenzhan, Zhou Quan is undoubtedly more inclined to Zhou Xingxing as the candidate for promotion.

Because Zhou Xingxing can be said to have accompanied Zhou Quan from the grassroots level of the police force, fighting his way up through the bloody storms.

The various groups of police officers under Zhou Quan may not all approve of Guan Wenzhan and Luo Danian.

But in their hearts, Zhou Xingxing is definitely the number one trusted and trusted aide of their boss.

As for whether Zhou Xingxing can be promoted smoothly, the key point lies in Zhou Quan's recommendation and whether the big boss Yi Ge approves it.

Zhou Quan's recommendation makes Zhou Xingxing eligible to compete for the position of deputy director of the National Security Bureau.

The approval of the boss is the final decision.

If the boss has no objection to the candidate and is willing to support him.

Naturally, there won’t be any disturbance at all among the core management of the police force.

The police chief has all management authority within the police force, including appointments to the deputy commissioner level.

The Hong Kong police force of more than 30,000 people and guns are all under the command of the top police officer.

It is also because of this that even the top police officer is under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau of the Chief Secretary for Administration.

But in terms of real power, the top cop is definitely second only to the three chiefs.

Sometimes, when the top cop speaks, even the chiefs of the three divisions have to give him enough face.

"Your former operations chief, now the commander of the Criminal Operations Division?"

Brother Yi thought about it for a while, and judged and evaluated Zhou Xingxing's performance in his heart.

"I have read his resume and he is indeed an experienced and capable police officer."

With a smile on his face, Ichigo finally nodded slowly.

"At the core management meeting later, I will nominate Zhou Xingxing as the deputy director of the National Security Department."

Although Brother Yi did not make any direct promises, just based on his willingness to support Stephen Chow.

The subsequent results are almost settled.

How could other members of the core management of the police force have different opinions on the candidate nominated by the boss himself?
The following core management meeting was just a formality to demonstrate the so-called democracy.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to describe the boss as an autocratic person within the police force.

His orders are enough to become the guidelines for the entire police force to follow. Of course, there is a premise, that is, the orders of the boss will not endanger the security environment of Hong Kong Island.

If there is any suspicion that the chief executive has abused his power for personal gain, there are regulations within the police force that can limit his rights.

Outside the police force, there is also the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

You know, the original intention of establishing the Independent Commission Against Corruption was to thoroughly eradicate corruption within the police force.

Supervising and investigating senior police officers has always been the ICAC's most enthusiastic task.

Even the top cop in the police force is under the close scrutiny of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

But the current decision on the deputy director of the National Security Department is obviously well within the scope of the Chief's authority and in line with the police force's regulations.

It is undeniable that the eldest brother allowed Zhou Quan to recommend his brothers for promotion, which was partly out of the eldest brother's own selfish motives.

After all, Zhou Quan is his most important direct descendant, so he naturally hopes to see Zhou Quan be able to carry out the work of the entire National Security Department with ease.

But there is a prerequisite here, that is, the candidate recommended by Zhou Quan meets the qualifications for promotion to Chief Superintendent.

Even if it is an exceptional promotion, the other party must at least meet certain conditions.

Zhou Xingxing, who followed Zhou Quan and experienced many major cases in Hong Kong, including some transnational operations, or in other words, involving transnational criminal organizations, obviously has the qualifications for promotion.

All he needed was a chance to compete for the position of Chief Superintendent and the support of a powerful boss.

At this moment, after Yi Ge and Zhou Quan had a heart-to-heart talk, there was no doubt that Zhou Xingxing would no longer have any shortcomings.

His boss is tough enough, and his boss's boss is the one who calls the shots in the entire police force.

Therefore, at the next meeting of the core management of the police force, the appointment of the deputy director of the National Security Department was basically just a formality.

"Boss, I'm here to take Zhou Xingxing's place. Thank you for giving him this opportunity."

Zhou Quan stood up instantly, raised his hand to salute with quick and decisive movements, and expressed his firm determination in a loud voice.

"I assure you here that the National Security Department will never let you down!"

His boss trusts and values ​​him so much, and the only way Sir Quan can repay his boss is to perform his duties conscientiously and ensure that the National Security Department's future work performance is outstanding enough.

"It's getting late!"

Nodding slightly, Yi Ge looked at the time on his watch, chuckled and said, "Come on, A Quan, accompany me to the management meeting."

He never questioned the beliefs and abilities of his trusted and beloved general.

Otherwise, he would not have supported Zhou Quan so strongly.

How the National Security Department performs in its subsequent work will still need to be answered through practical actions.

Everyone likes to hear nice words, but I would like to see the departments below do the same nice things.

Rewards and punishments are clear, this is the code of conduct of Mr. Xu.

As long as Zhou Quan can live up to his trust and respect, he will support Zhou Quan even more in the future.

However, if Zhou Quan caused him any trouble, it would be a trivial matter and Yi Ge could allow it.

But if the situation becomes serious, it may even endanger the police force and Hong Kong Island, or it could be said that the stance is fundamentally wrong.

So when Brother Yi deals with Zhou Quan, he will definitely not be the slightest bit soft-hearted.
